Range-Roving Electric Scooters

The 'Kobra' E-Scooters Offer Considerable Range and Enlarged Wheels

— February 9, 2021 — Eco
Kobra, an upstart Italian company that specializes in e-scooters, is unveiling a duo of innovative electric scooters that stand out from the competition due to their combination of range, speed and design features.

Perhaps the most eye-catching feature of both the Climber and Smart models is that both these e-scooters have 20-inch wheels in the front and 16-inch wheels at the back, which is considerably bigger than most e-scooters that you see zipping around the streets.

The rear wheel also comes fitted with a hub motor that is capable of providing a range of around 100 kilometers and a top speed of 25 km/h. While the Smart is ideally designed for urban transportation, the Climber is more well-suited to the great outdoors, and is capable of tackling slopes of up to 35 per cent thanks to the higher watt output on its hub motor.

Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, the Kobra e-scooter is looking to bring reliable and high-range transportation to the electric scooter market.
Trend Themes
1. Range-boosting Scooters - Innovative electric scooters with increased range potential and enlarged wheels disrupt the urban transportation sector.
2. Off-road Electric Mobility - E-scooters designed for off-road terrain offer new opportunities for outdoor recreational travel and adventure.
3. Crowdfunding Electric Transport - The crowdfunding campaign for Kobra e-scooters disrupts traditional investment models for new products entering the electric mobility market.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Transportation - Kobra's electric scooters with extended range and unique design features offer the potential to disrupt traditional means of urban transportation.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The Climber model of Kobra's e-scooters provides a new option for off-road travel and outdoor recreation, disrupting the recreational transportation industry.
3. Crowdfunding and Investment - The crowdfunding campaign for Kobra e-scooters introduces a new investment model for disruptive products entering the electric transport market, shaking up the traditional investment industry.
