Bird Electric has unveiled a new electric scooter in the ongoing Auto Expo 2020 motor show. According to media reports, the all-new compact electric scooter ES1+ will hit the showrooms in mid-2021 and offers modest features to its customers. As per reports, the company claims the scooter can reach the top speed of 35km/hr, which is not much if one is considering to use it in metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
The electric scooter has a 3Ah lithium-ion battery pack and has a range of 55km once charged fully. However, Bird has not confirmed if the ES1+ will get the fast-charging option. The featherlight scooter weighs only 62 kilograms, which is much lighter than similar electric scooters available in the same range. Media reports state that the Bird ES1+ will come with premium looking LED headlamp and a tail lamp with integrated turn indicators and a digital instrument console. Interestingly some media reports have also suggested that the ES1+ has a camera button on the right switchgear and what looks like a camera lens on the front fascia below the headlamp.
