While the side profile is on the flatter side with minimal lines and creases, it gets a sharp, raked front apron that gives it an aggressive look. It features a rectangular LED headlamp, a sleek vertical LED DRL strip, and a 4.2-inch fully digital display that supports smartphone connectivity.Powering the electric scooter is a 3.07 kWh LFP battery paired with a 4.1 kW electric motor.
