Power and achievement: 80 km/h speed and 110 km range
Platum E-Moped 500 it belongs to the L3 class (corresponding to a classic 125cc engine), which ensures enough power for city driving and easily overcomes all obstacles. A top speed of 80 km/h (about 50 mph) means it's fast enough for city streets, but still safe for use on shorter journeys. The scooter can travel up to 110 km (70 miles) on a single charge, which is more than enough for several days of use in the city.

The scooter's retro design appeals with its rounded lines and round lights reminiscent of classic scooters, but still brings some modern elements. The display, lights and design details bring a freshness that makes it seem like this scooter is made especially for today's urban trends.
At Platum, they say that the 13-inch front wheel is "a great ally when driving on potholed city streets and cobblestones," which means that the scooter is also ready for less-than-ideal city conditions. Under the seat, the designers have added a storage space where you can safely store your helmet or other items you need on the go.
Prices and the future
