On June 13, 2022, Tokyo-based startup Striemo announced its first product, a three-wheeled e-scooter named, funnily enough, Striemo. Backed by Honda and founded by a handful of Team Red's engineers—Striemo is the second company to come out of Honda's IGNITION startup incubator—the new micro-mobility product is relatively light, foldable, and features Honda's self-stabilizing technology.
Technical information on the new e-scooter is currently relatively scarce, but sources claim that it weighs 20 kilograms (44 pounds) and can travel 30 kilometers (nearly 19 miles) on a single charge at a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour (around 15 mph). Charging time is a claimed 3.5 hours. Riders operate the throttle and brake manually and steer by shifting their weight like a skier.
