Seat has created an electric scooter concept
“Product, service and platform-based mobility solutions” are the domain of Seat’s new Urban Mobility business unit. Its first vehicle is the pure-electric e-Scooter, which has been unveiled in concept form ahead of a showroom version that’s due to arrive sometime in 2020.
This two-wheeler was developed in collaboration with Barcelona-based scooter manufacturer Silence. A neat step-through design incorporates minimal two-tone bodywork and a plush dual saddle (with enough storage space beneath for a pair of helmets).
There’s also a removable battery pack of unknown capacity, so quick swaps will be possible. Such a feature might prove rather useful given an anticipated WMTC range of around 70 miles (115 kilometres).
The electric motor delivers between 9.3 bhp (7.0 kW / 9.5 PS) and 14.5 bhp (11.0 kW / 14.8 PS), as well as 240 Nm (177 lb/ft) of instant torque. Consequently, performance is claimed to be similar to that of a 125 cc petrol-fuelled scooter. Indeed, accelerating from rest to 31 mph (50 km/h) takes just 3.8 seconds, while the top speed is 62 mph (100 km/h).
Seat’s intention is to ultimately offer the e-Scooter to both individual purchasers and shared services fleets. At this stage, no indications about prices have been given.
