Shanghai-based company FELO has revealed a new mini folding electric scooter called the M-One. The electric scooter's design was inspired by the Honda Motocompo, a compact-sized 49 cc folding scooter that could be folded into a smaller form that would fit in the trunk of a Honda branded car. It was the smallest scooter that Honda produced and a popular folding scooter that people were fond of.
The M-One has a 400-watt with a 1.34-hp hub motor that draws from a 48V, 20-Ah Lithium-ion battery pack. The battery pack can last over 60 miles of range on a single charge. The M-One's battery pack can also be used as a mobile power bank. With merely a weight of 80 lbs, the M-One has similar dimensions and size compared to the Honda Motocompo. The M-One features folding footpads, handlebars, and a pivoting and folding seat that allows itself to be easily stowed in the trunk of a SUN or a sedan. However, the M-One has standard hauling abilities as it has integrated aluminum and magnesium luggage racks. A standout feature of the M-One is its yellow safety stripes design with Japanese Kanji wording. The M-One will be showcased at the 2023 Tokyo Motorcycle Show.
