Lightfoot scooter with solar panels

Share:

The company Otherlab has presented an unusual shaped electric scooter. Power reserve of this vehicle is increased due to the use of large solar panels placed on the frame. According to the manufacturer for every hour spent in the sun, the range increases by almost 5 kilometers.

The scooter is driven by two electric motors of 750 W each, which are powered by a battery with a capacity of more than 1 kW.h. The range is up to 60 km, but the maximum speed is limited to 50 km per hour.

The solar panels are mounted on either side of the frame and on a sunny day can deliver up to 120 watts of energy to power the batteries. Calculations show that on a summer day the solar panels can charge the batteries for a trip of up to 30km, in winter only 15km. Lightfoot offers a comfortable padded seat for one passenger and footrests for a second person. The scooter frame is made of profiled aluminum, and inside the body, a spacious storage compartment can accommodate the necessary cargo (like a suitcase). This “suitcase” hides a UL-certified 1.1 kWh battery and a 600W on-board charger.

Otherlab has also made sure the electric scooter is easy to maintain and repair, providing off-the-shelf components for replacement at any service center. The Lightfoot is offered with a one-year warranty on the entire scooter and a 2-year warranty on the mechanical part. In addition, the company promises an “unwavering buy-back guarantee” for users who will not be satisfied with their purchase.

The Lightfoot electric scooter costs in the range of $5,000, but the first deliveries are not expected until early 2025.
