There’s a new breed of electric scooter in town, as Italian firm Oxygen introduce their new two-wheeled Oxygen Electric CargoScooter.
Using state of the art lithium ion batteries, this versatile little scooter vehicle has a carrying capacity of 90 kilograms, plus driver, and a range of up to 120 kilometres.
New to the UK, the firm hopes that its electric scooter will appeal to fleets as an effective and efficient cargo transporter after achieving success with the Swiss National Post Service. The service now has the largest fleet of electric delivery scooters in the world after it took delivery of an order of the cargo scooters, saving it 1,250 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year it estimates.
The scooters are designed to have long battery life too-maintaining high performance for 2,000 charges – that’s over five years even if fully charged seven days a week. This is class leading battery performance is backed up with a 2-year guarantee too, for added peace of mind.
The CargoScooter offers exceptional stability due to its extremely low centre of gravity. Rider protection is also paramount with lateral and hand protectors and sturdy, heavy duty frame. As a zero emissions vehicle, the scooter can access inside areas, such as aircraft hangars, warehouses and delivery depots where many other vehicles would be forbidden and there is of course, no cost involved in travelling in London’s congestion zone.
There is only one moving part in its direct drive motor, which contributes to exceptional reliability, low maintenance and minimum operating costs. This all electric, zero emission scooter, in addition to its environmental benefits, could save fleet operators hundreds of pounds per vehicle over four years, compared to a conventional small capacity scooter. Savings can only increase as fuel costs inevitably rise.
The stylish Oxygen CargoScooter is available with a number of options to suit every type of customer. In addition to the standard cargo box at the rear, there is the option of a cargo box or steel basket at the front. Customers may choose from a range of boxes, with the option to brand with company name and logos. Utility and energy companies should lead the way in sustainable and zero emission transport and this delivery vehicle really fits the bill.
