Sustainability is the main driving force that has seen the rise in the production of electric scooters and motorcycles. Many manufacturers prioritize sustainability and environmental awareness and the Naon Lucy scooter exemplifies this. The scooter is made from recycled materials in an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
The company, Naon bases its strategy on functionality, aesthetics and local production. It employs its staff entirely from Germany and uses locally sourced materials for its production. Naon had earlier unveiled the Zero-One prototype with some exciting features. Naon has made significant progress in the development of its first scooter and the Lucy is a production-ready model.
The Naon Lucy has a hub motor that can output a maximum power of 7kW and 200Nm of torque. The battery pack consists of a 5.2kWh unit under the floorboard of the scooter. The battery can give a range of up to 160km on a full charge. The Naon Lucy scooter has a lightweight aluminum frame and features an ABS disc brake system. It has larger wheels than the Zero-One prototype, as well as a new single-sided swingarm, rear strut wishbone suspension system and double-bridge fork. The Lucy's low-mounted battery pack translates to it being more stable and having a lower center of gravity.
The Naon Lucy scooter will come in two versions – classified as an L1e electric moped or an L3e light motorcycle. The top speed of the two versions is 45km/h and 100km/h respectively. The L1e and L3e versions of the Naon Lucy are priced at $5,270 and $6,877 respectively.
