# Pedal-Free Mopeds The Suzuki e-Let's is an Electric Bike for Conceptual Newcomers By Omar Yusuf | Published 2011-08-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-lets References: [trendpool](http://www.trendpool.com/suzuki-electric-bike-is-pedal-free/) & [evworld](http://www.evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=24066) Although its design and color scheme make it seem painfully ordinary, the e-Let's is anything but ordinary. The electric moped is [Suzuki's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-moqba) motor-assisted, engineless response to the e-bikes offered by [Yamaha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booster-easy) and [Bridgestone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridgestone-potenza-re71rz) cycles. After replacing the guts of the manufacturer's older, gas-powered Let's4 scooter with more eco-friendly insides, the Suzuki e-Let's maintains the dextrous controls, low noise, low vibration and gentle acceleration of its predecessors. Best of all, this zero-emision bike is compatible with any generic 100V outlet, which means you can charge the bike at home or at the office. And although its effective range is only 30km, charging the e-Let's takes a meager four hours. Free of pedals, petrol and the moral pangs associated with high-emission vehicles, the e-Let's is an omen of things to come. Anticipate seeing your children on these bikes -- who knows, you may even be driving one soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Mopeds:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced and efficient electric moped models to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation options. - **Motor-assisted Bikes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore motor-assisted bike technology to create efficient and convenient modes of transportation for urban areas. - **E-bikes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve the range and charging capabilities of e-bikes to make them a more viable alternative to traditional bikes and motorcycles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with electric vehicle manufacturers to develop innovative features for electric mopeds. - **Cycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with cycling brands to incorporate motor-assisted technology into bikes and create a new category of motor-assisted bicycles. - **Green Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Work on developing more efficient and sustainable charging solutions to support the growing number of electric vehicles on the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naked Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-electric-motorbikes.md) - [Rider-Focused Electric Bike Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemmo-one.md) - [Low-Maintenance Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocci-magic-ride.md) - [Modular Electric Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epa1.md) - [Affordable Moped E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revv1.md) - [Classic Motocycle-Inspired Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-design-1.md) - [Electric Moped Startups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-2.md) - [Accessible Step-Through E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lime-3.md) - [No-Plug E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/third-generation-pi-pop.md)
