Mercedes-Benz, renowned for its commitment to an emission-free future, is taking a significant step towards its electric-only strategy with the introduction of the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter. This innovative and stylish electric scooter aims to provide an emission-free solution for urban mobility, particularly for the “last mile” of transportation. Developed in collaboration with Swiss micromobility specialist Micro Mobility Systems AG, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter offers exceptional performance, a long range, and a focus on safety, making it an attractive option for city commuters and those seeking efficient and convenient mobility solutions.
At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter is a powerful 500 watt electric motor, which allows for quick acceleration up to 20 km/h. What sets this scooter apart is its twist grip throttle, offering a more intuitive and precise control for an enhanced riding experience. Equipped with a robust 9.6 Ah battery, the E-Scooter boasts a range of up to 40 kilometers, making it ideal for short commutes or navigating through inner-city traffic. Its compact and foldable design ensures easy storage in car trunks and convenient portability on public transportation, catering to the needs of urban dwellers on the go.
In addition to its performance and practicality, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter prioritizes safety. The wide deck with an anti-slip coating ensures a secure and stable footing, while the AMG rhombuses on the footboard add a touch of sophistication. The scooter features sturdy rubber wheels with a 20 cm diameter and adjustable front and rear suspension, ensuring a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces. The ergonomically shaped handlebar with telescopic function allows riders of different heights to find their optimal riding position.
Notably, the integrated bell enhances safety in urban traffic, while the centrally positioned display provides essential information such as speed, battery status, and riding mode. The distinctive Mercedes star below the front light adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. The braking system includes an electric motor brake on the twist grip, a drum brake at the rear, and a foot brake on the mudguard. Furthermore, the twist grip activates the kinetic recuperation system, allowing for regenerative braking and simultaneous battery recharging. Front and rear lights, along with side reflectors, ensure visibility during nighttime rides.
Enhancing the user experience, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter offers connectivity through the Micro App. By connecting via Bluetooth to a smartphone mounted on a special holder on the handlebars, riders can access valuable information such as speed, distance, journey time, and battery charge status. The integrated navigation system provides guidance with the shortest route displayed on the scooter’s screen. Additionally, users can control various functions, including lights and driving mode, directly through the app.
Designed for convenience, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter features an intuitive foot-operated folding mechanism and foldable handles, allowing for effortless transportation and storage. Its lightweight construction, weighing only 14.7 kg, further enhances its portability and maneuverability.
Competitors in the e-scooter market include established brands such as Xiaomi, BMW, and Bird, which offer their own range of electric scooters with varying features and price points. While each brand has its strengths, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter sets itself apart with its powerful motor, extended range, stylish design, and the prestige associated with the Mercedes-Benz brand.
As Mercedes-Benz continues its journey towards a fully electric future, the Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter represents a noteworthy addition to its portfolio of sustainable mobility solutions. With its combination of performance, range, safety, and elegant design, this e-scooter offers a compelling choice for urban commuters seeking a practical, emission-free, and stylish mode of transportation.
