Summary
An innovative electric scooter: the Lightfoot from Otherlab
An exceptional solar recharge
The Lightfoot from Otherlab, currently available for pre-order, stands out for its ability to recharge using side solar panels. These photovoltaic panels allow the scooter to recover up to 5 km of range per hour of sunlight, an impressive performance that catches the eye and makes this vehicle unique in its kind.
Optimal technical features for the city
The Lightfoot features a 1.1 kWh battery offering a theoretical range of up to 60 km, ideal for urban use. It is equipped with two 750 W motors and reaches a maximum speed of 32 km/h. Although this speed is not suitable for highways, it is more than sufficient for the city. An efficient recharge is possible thanks to a 600 W charger capable of restoring 80% of the energy in just 90 minutes. Moreover, the regenerative braking system optimizes energy saving.
A practical and exclusive design
The Lightfoot also includes a storage compartment under one of the solar panels, spacious enough to accommodate a carry-on suitcase or a helmet. This feature enhances its appeal in terms of practicality.
A distribution limited to the American market
Offered at a price of 4995 dollars, approximately 4795 euros, the Lightfoot is available for pre-order, with deliveries scheduled for January 2025. Currently, its distribution is limited to the American market, which suggests an opportunity for innovation for other potential markets.
