Ovo Electric Scooter – The eco-friendly way to travel

ovo electric scooter

The concept:

The Ovo Electric Scooter is a single seater and eco-friendly electric scooter, which can make driving easier and enjoyable. This electric scooter has many useful features that offer maximum comfort to the driver. For example, it has a retractable canopy made from fabric, which can be used to protect the rider from rain and sunlight. There are two luggage compartments in this small electric scooter, which can be used to store a briefcase, lunch or carry bag, etc.

What makes it stand out?

The most interesting feature of the Ovo Electric Scooter is a dual-function canopy, which works as a weather protection shield during bad weather, or as an outer cover for the back storage area when it is disengaged. This electric scooter has a specially designed seat to facilitate an easy ride and a high performance hub motor. There are two luggage compartments in the Ovo Electric Scooter – one under the seat and the other at the back.

The scooter has dual charging options. If there is no electrical source for recharging this electrical scooter, you can use the booster battery, which you can carry in your luggage. There are two internal lithium-ion battery packs, which can be electrically charged daily, for a range of 60km. This electric scooter has a windshield made from recycled polycarbonate, which gives the driver a clear view of the road.

Where do we go from here?

Electric vehicles are far better than the gas powered scooters, as they do not need much maintenance as compared to the gas ones. Plus, you are also reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. The Ovo Electric Scooter is made of good, sturdy and eco-friendly materials, which will reduce pollution and make life easier. Also, unlike other scooters, it provides the user with much needed protection from the elements. When compared to our present-day gas guzzling scooters, the Ovo definitely comes out on top.
