Unu Unveils 2nd Generation Electric Scooter With Integrated Display And Lively Hues

Unu, one of Europe’s leading budget electric scooter companies, has a brand new ride. Unu just launched their second generation electric scooter, which comes with a total redesign.

Unu completely redesigned their classic scooter, drawing on help from partners including Bosch and LG. The new scooter features a Bosch hub motor mounted in the rear single-sided swingarm and removable batteries made by LG. The 1.7 kWh and 10 kg (22 lb) batteries are rated for 50 km (31 mi) of range each. With space for two batteries, the electric scooter has a maximum range of 100 km (62 mi) with 3.4 kWh of battery capacity.

The seat is large enough for two riders and the scooter features fold-out pillion pegs for the second rider. The seat is also contoured near the front to make it even more comfortable for the rider’s legs.

According to Unu, Unu claims that the company’s second-generation scooter has one of the largest under seat storage compartments of any electric scooter. In addition to space for two batteries, the scooter also has room for two 3/4 helmets under the seat. But how it stacks up against Etergo’s Appscooter, which has enough storage space to fit an entire case of beer, remains to be seen.

The new Unu scooter has a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). Stopping power comes from the front and rear hydraulic disc brakes as well as regenerative braking via the rear wheel.

The scooter is available in three different models with varying power and acceleration. Riders can choose between a 2 kW (€2,799), 3 kW (€3,299) or 4 kW (€3,899) scooter. The higher power scooters have a stronger pull and better hill climbing ability. They also come in more color options, if customization is important for you.

Unu also replaced the classic analog-style needle gauges on their previous scooter with a sleek new digital display.

The scooter interfaces with a smartphone app that provides functionality for GPS navigation, remote monitoring of the scooter’s vitals and state of charge, a digital key to turn the scooter on and off, Anti-theft via GPS location and digital key-sharing to allow friends to walk up and use the scooter.

The Unu electric scooter can be customized and ordered online, then shipped in a box to the customer’s door. A partner service disposes of the packing, making delivery simple for city dwellers. Pre-orders will receive a €100 discount, a free helmet and a third year or warranty (standard warranty is two years). For now, the pre-order option is only in Germany, The Netherlands, France, and Austria.
