  • What's so special about this innovative electrical speedster? It's not so obvious just by looking, because the motor is installed in the back wheel and the battery is hidden in the foot board of the scooter. The emicro's discrete styling ensures the electrical components are all but hidden to the casual observer. It looks just like a regular kick scooter, and operates like one too, if you turn off the power by tapping the brake tree times. The emicro one is not a toy, with a recommended user age of 18+. Its sophisticated styling is designed to appeal to adults who appreciate quality and clever ideas.

  • Its light 7.5kg weight isn't the only thing that sets the emicro one apart. Packing a compact 500w motor in its rear wheel, it can achieve speeds of up to 25km/h; this scooter covers 'micro' distances fast. The range of the emicro one is approximately 10-15 km, dependent on the riding style, route profile and body weight of the rider. When plugged into the mains, the emicro one's battery recharges fully within 60 minutes, and also charges while being used, each time the brake is applied. Regenerative braking is built into the rear wheel - so efficient that it will fully charge a dead battery in just 15 minutes of constant downhill braking. (Not that you're often likely to ride down a hill for that long!)

  • The emicro one and its battery charger meet all the relevant safety standards for Australia. The battery of the emicro is smaller than 100Wh (82Wh) so the scooter can be safely transported in an aeroplane without problems.

  • All parts are replaceable so easily repaired if a part becomes damaged. Combination of push power and motor encourages physical activity. Easily transportable on buses & trains encourages the use of public transport. Construction: 1. No welding. Screws and bolts hold it together. 2. Replaceable battery. When the battery reaches the end of its lifetime, it is easily replaced and the used one recycled. 3. Extensive training of the distribution network about recycling of lithium-ion batteries. Environment: The manufacturer, CCS China, holds ISO 14001 in minimising their impact to the environment. CCS also hold the OHSAS 18001 certificate for Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 9001 (quality control)

    The emicro one is the world's first electric scooter with Motion Control, an exciting innovation in the world of electric motors. The powerful motor on the emicro one only starts when a certain speed is reached and the rider's kick is detected. The emicro one also features clever Slope Support, which engages the engine support for longer when the scooter is being ridden on an incline.
