The Zero-One electric scooter is the latest offering by German company Naon and seems to be a clear departure from the crowd with its fresh and tech-driven design to go with some decent riding features. The Naon Zero-One has just been unveiled to the European market and its unique design has put it in a commanding position among its more established competitors.
The Naon Zero-One electric scooter comes with long, flat
running boards, an exposed rear swingarm, and an angular seat. Some of the
features that are indeed unheard of among the ubiquitous Vespa-like e-scooters
have swarmed the market. There are a few different configurations of the
Zero-One with the highest model offering top speeds up to 100 km/h and a range
of 140 km. Naon Zero-One has a 7kW rear hub electric motor that can deliver up
to 10kW peak power. It comes with a single 2.4kWh battery, although this can be
further scaled up with an additional battery. The batteries are stored just
under the rider’s feet and they are removable, hence the under-seat is
available as a storage space.
The Naon Zero-One e-scooter is fast enough to ride on some
highways but its short range might limit that possibility, but it will be well
suited for intra-city commutes. The various versions of the Zero-One could
serve the needs of different demographics in the market. These models include
the L1e and the L3e models. The L1e has a top speed of 45 km/h and could be a
great buy for city dwellers desirous of having an e-bike to navigate dense
commutes daily.
As per pricing, the Naon Zero-One L1e model is priced at € 4,920
(US$ 5,640), while the more powerful L1e model costs € 6,420 (US$ 7,360) with
no battery included. The batteries can be purchased for € 1,000 (US$ 1,145) or
rented at a monthly fee of € 25 (US$ 29).
