At this year's CES show, some rather impressive new technologies and new cars were unveiled. For example, the color-changing BMW iX, Chrysler's Airflow and so on. Bugatti also followed suit, launching an electric car at the show. But don't expect too much ~ this car is not what you think.
Bugatti has partnered with Bytech to launch an all-electric foldable scooter designed for everyday use. Available in three colors, blue, silver and black, the scooter weighs just 35 pounds (15.9 kg) and is powered by a 700-watt electric motor.
Designed to be aerodynamic and fully functional, the scooter supports a portable and easily removable battery pack with a magnesium alloy frame. It has a range of up to 22 miles (about 34 km) on a single charge and a speed of up to 18.5 miles per hour (about 30 km/h). There are three driving modes – Economy, City and Sport – and even cruise control.
We were surprised to find that the scooter uses a dual braking system with electronic ABS on the rear wheels, which is uncommon on scooters. The electric two-wheeler also comes with turn signals, a illuminated base and a "EB" projection logo at the rear ( i.e. Ettore Bugatti ) to enhance the car's artistic style and performance.
Wiebke Stahl, President of Bugatti, said: "Partnering with companies like Bytech gives us the opportunity and experienced partners to expand our presence in the field of electric vehicles and allow consumers around the world to enjoy our products. ”
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first electric Bugatti, but it is the first two-wheeled electric Bugatti. We tested the Bugatti Baby II back in 2020, and it has a peak output of 13.4 horsepower (10 kW) and a top speed of 42 mph (about 70 km/h), but it has four wheels.
