German electric mobility startup Trinity has released the newest version of its Uranus electric scooter called the Uranus RS. Scooters like this have been rapidly gaining popularity thanks to the low running costs, virtually zero maintenance, and government incentives towards zero-emission vehicles.
While it’s still way more expensive than a traditional internal combustion scooter, the Uranus RS is evidence that the tech surrounding electric powertrains continues to improve, and become more accessible to a wider audience. It has a stylish, vintage scooter design and is said to have a realistic range of 60 miles on a single charge, thanks to its two standard batteries. Trinity’s Uranus RS is powered by a brushless DC electric motor with a peak power output of 11 kW. This gives the scooter a top speed of 110 kilometers per hour, or 68 miles per hour in sport mode—a lot faster than other electric scooters in the market.
