Audi has unveiled its E-Tron scooter, which functions similarly to a skateboard. This is because the design features a handlebar, but users shift their weight in order to turn. The E-Tron scooter is currently a concept scooter, however, Audi has stated its intention to ship the vehicle to customers. The scooter will be available to consumers beginning in 2020, for a $2,235 price point. It could also be rolled out as an option for E-Tron car customers.
The scooter has a top speed of 12.5 MPH and has a 12.5-mile range, which makes it ideal for short commutes. The frame is also foldable, making the 26-pound scooter easy to carry or store. Bluetooth Integration enables ride tuning, in addition to helping with theft prevention.
