A cheap, fast way of individual city transportation \u2013 many companies are currently working to achieve this goal. The newest one is GenZe, a small company in Silicon Valley, owned by Indian conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra.

The GenZe 2.0 electric scooter<\/p><\/div>\n

The GenZe 2.0 is a lightweight, small scooter built on an aluminium exoskeleton chassis. The scooter has as minimal body panels as possible, making it look futuristic. The key feature of the scooter is its quick-charge 1.6 KWh Li-ion SmartPack \u00a0Integrated Power Module \u2013 that\u2019s a portable battery that you can charge anywhere.<\/p>\n

Power comes from a hub-mounted, brushless, permanent magnet motor with a maximum torque of 130 Nm. The Mahindra GenZe 2.0 weighs 105 kg, while payload capacity is 125 kg. Recharging the batteries takes 3.5 hours and there are three riding modes \u2013 Sport, Economy and Easy. Thanks to the large battery pack, the scooter has a range of 30 miles (48.3 km) with a full recharge.<\/p>\n

There’s enough room for a smaller bag<\/p><\/div>\n

A 7-inch Cruise-Connect touch-screen display announces\u00a0range and speed, and there\u2019s a sizeable storage bin at the back with a power socket. Other features include LED headlamps, and that\u2019s about it. Since top speed never exceeds 30 miles per hour, riders don\u2019t need a motorcycle license.<\/p>\n

The GenZe2.0 will be retailed through four stores in San Francisco and Portland. Price tag: $2,999.<\/p>\n
