Seat has entered the electric scooter market with its first dedicated product, the MO eScooter 125, which will launch in Spain in November and in other main European countries before early next year. Pricing in the brand’s home market will start at € 6,250 (US$ 7,318), or almost half the cost of the Ibiza subcompact hatchback, which is listed from € 13,160 (US$ 15,408) locally, or € 3,650 (US$ 4,274) less than the Mii city car.
Available in a variety of colors, the
eScooter has a brushless electric motor integrated into the rear wheel that
develops 9 PS, with a 12 PS peak power, and 240 Nm of torque. This allows it sprint from 0 to 50 km/h in 3.9
seconds and reach a 95 km/h top speed.
Power is supplied by a 5.6 kWh lithium-ion
battery, which is removable and can be plugged in at home or at public charging
stations, or simply on the zero-emission scooter. Tipping the scales at 41 kg, the battery takes between 6 and 8 hours to recharge and provides an
urban range of up to 137 km.
