Top battery-powered bike and scooter firm Vmoto, had a big presence at the Milan show last month, with a new Pininfarina-designed scooter as one of the main highlights. The VS5 is a sharp-looking urban machine that stands alongside the new VS4 multi-purpose scooter, featuring the firm’s latest battery technology – EMS (Electric Mobility Solution). The Vmoto EMS system comprises a new high-capacity battery design, faster charging systems, a series of fleet-compatible charging stations, and an IT system designed to help fleet managers optimise their fleet of bikes, batteries, and charging setups.
The VS4 is unique – the firm claims it’s capable of transforming in seconds from a moto-taxi to a delivery or personal-use scooter – and it’s fully compatible with the EMS system. The VS5 is a more stylish option, available in L1 moped or L5 three-wheel version, ideal for light urban deliveries, with a competitive price point and under-seat storage. Both the VS4 and VS5 are designed for B2B fleet use but also cater to consumers.
The firm also unveiled a new consumer strategy, including the Vmoto Concept Store, designed as a: “tangible platform to engage the public and strengthen the retail network, becoming the meeting point between corporate strategy and market presence”. And there’s a new bike aimed at consumers too – the TC Street Hunter S, with more performance, 65mph top speed, 67-mile range, dual battery system, and frame-mounted motor.
