One of the best things about electric two-wheelers is how many absolute oddballs keep showing up. Since the whole segment is still pretty fringe, manufacturers basically get a blank sheet of paper. No rules, and no categories. If anything, the weirdness has become the point. It’s where all the fun happens.
Enter Scoox. They’re a young Chinese brand that you probably haven’t heard of, and quite frankly, neither had I before I did some research for this story. But judging from the design of the brand’s first two-wheeler, we can think of them as one of the many small EV players trying to carve out their own slice of the future by doing things the big brands won’t. Their first shot at the spotlight is the Zero X7, and it feels like someone mashed together a scooter, a mini bike, and some abstract industrial art and called it a day.
The Zero X7 is tiny. Like genuinely tiny. About 73 inches long, 30 inches wide, and a hair over 39 inches tall. The wheelbase is just over 51 inches, which is shorter than some bicycles you see people commuting on. Park it beside a normal scooter, and it looks like it was left in the dryer for too long.
