Dubai-Based Mobility Startup Barq Unveils Rena Max Electric Scooter

Last-mile delivery services typically cavort around on a city playground. This is especially true currently, when people's habits have shifted as a result of recent global lockdowns. Scooters have never been more popular, and when you combine that with a growing concern of environmental preservation, electric scooters are an unavoidable common denominator.

Having said that, Barq, a Dubai-based e-mobility business, has created the Rena Max, a revolutionary electric scooter designed specifically for this purpose. It uses a lithium-ion battery to power a 9 kW electric motor. With a capacity of 5.6 kWh, it provides enough power for a range of up to 94 miles before needing to be recharged. Furthermore, the battery can be easily removed and replaced with a fully charged battery. Swapping out the battery barely takes a few minutes—similar to refueling a standard scooter. The Rena Max claims a top speed of 60 miles per hour, meaning it's more than capable of traversing city streets at speed.
