The MINI CitySurfer Concept

MINI has presented the 'CitySurfer' concept combines the riding properties of a kick scooter with an electric drive. Weighing just 18 kilograms, the electrified two-wheeler collapses and folds in half. The auxiliary electric drive boasts a thumb-operated accelerator and gearless hub motor in the rear wheel – the electric motor power reaches a top speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) and isn't activated until a minimum speed is reached from the rider’s own physical thrust. Features a lithium-ion battery, which can be charged by a 12-volt automobile socket or household socket. The MINI CitySurfer concept integrates large wheels with pneumatic tires which makes it suitable for bumpy paths. Its stable frame and height-adjustable handlebars complements three brake systems which operate independently of each other.
