Archos' Citee Connect Runs on Android Oreo

— February 21, 2018 — Autos
Scooters tend to be blissfully low-tech, but French technology company has decided to upend the standard concept of the scooter with the Citee Connect. The advanced conveyance has a 5-inch touchscreen embedded between its handlebars, and that screen is equipped to run Android Oreo, the latest mobile operating system from Google.

As one might expect of a scooter embedded with a fully functional mobile touchscreen, the Citee Connect is an electric scooter. It comes with a 250 watt motor and a 5,000 mAh battery, giving it a range of 10 to 12 kilometers on a single charge. That battery takes between 4 and 5 hours to charge.

Archos has already built tablets and drones, making it an ideal company to tackle a concept like the Citee Connect.
