AppScooter - Storage space

How big is the storage space?

There is 50 litres storage under the seat, that's roughly 3 times bigger than similar (petrol and electric) competitors. In fact, it's large enough to carry a full beer crate, 2 grocery bags, a few shoe boxes or even a gym bag.

Do the battery modules take up the storage space?

No, the battery modules do not take up any of the 50L of storage space. The batteries are installed via the storage space but sit inside an otherwise unused space right inside the frame.

I see a beer crate fits in the storage space. Are you promoting drinking while driving?

Of course not! The beer crate is connected to our story, as Marijn, one of our co-founders, stood on a beer crate while pitching an electric scooter at an event years ago. Because of that pitch, he met the other Etergo co-founder Bart and the rest is history. In addition, the crate also just happens to show how large the Buddy Space is. To be clear, we always want riders to be safe and operate AppScooter responsibly.

AppScooter - Cockpit

How big is the touchscreen?

The AppScooter Touchscreen is 7" (diagonal).

How do I control the touchscreen while driving?

While riding, touch functions are disabled. You can control the screen by using the controls on the handlebars. This is to keep you safe and focused on the road, allowing you to leave your phone in your pocket, and hands on the handlebars. When standing still, the touchscreen becomes active and provides a wider range of functions.

Does AppScooter connect to internet?

Yes, AppScooter has an internet connection with the latest safety standards that allows the scooter to be updated remotely so we can improve AppScooter through software updates. The internet connection can be used for streaming your favorite songs and videos, getting turn-by-turn navigation, and many other features. Check our cockpit page for more info.

Can I watch a video while driving?

No! Our interface is designed to adapt to the status of the scooter and the environment that it is in. Certain features will not be accessible while driving. This means that the moment you turn on the motor of your scooter, watching kitten videos on Youtube won't be possible.

Is it safe to drive with a touchscreen full of apps?

Yes. When riding, AppScooter's touch functions are disabled, and it will work as a traditional display. This is to keep you safe and focused while driving. However, you can control vital functions, such as music and navigation, by using the controls on the handlebars. In this way, you can leave your phone in your pocket, which ensures you'll be kept safe. When standing still, the touchscreen becomes active and provides a wider range of functions.

Is my smartphone compatible with AppScooter?

Yes! Though the AppScooter’s touchscreen is powered by Android, you can connect it to any Android or iOS based device via Bluetooth.

We are also working on a separate phone app with which you can view and control your AppScooter’s functions. It will be made available for both Android and iOS.

Does the display have a touchscreen?

Yes, the display features a capacitive multi-touch screen that still functions in the rain and with gloves on. However, the interface will be restricted, meaning that there are certain features you cannot use while driving to ensure safety. While driving, you will be able to navigate these Apps with our specially designed keypads.

AppScooter - Battery & Range

How long does it take to charge my AppScooter?

Normal charger: max power: 250 W.

Fast charger: max power = 600 W.

Charge time: 1.5 hr (80% full) / 2.3 hr (100% full)

How do I charge AppScooter?

AppScooter's batteries are lightweight and removable so you can charge them wherever you want using a standard wall socket. Using the convenient charge port you can also directly charge AppScooter, this will charge all installed batteries at once using a single charger.

Can I use 2 or 3 battery modules at the same time in AppScooter, or do I have to remove one when its low on battery?

You can use multiple modules at the same time; AppScooter will draw energy from the battery that has the most energy left, when they are at an equal level they will deplete uniformly. Also, the more batteries are in the vehicle, the better your AppScooter performs.

How much does the battery weigh?

Each battery module weighs 8.5kg, making it easy to carry with its convenient carry handle.

How far can AppScooter go with 1, 2 or 3 battery modules?

AppScooter's range is dependent upon the number of battery modules selected. Range in EV automotive products have a number of factors that determine range including: weather conditions, weight and speed. Based on simulations with an average speed of 20km/h, the range is an average of 80 km for 1 module, 160 km for 2 and 240 km for 3 battery modules. To find out more about the batteries, check out our specs page.

AppScooter's top range is up to 240km under optimal conditions. This may vary with number of passengers, battery packs, storage space contents, weather and terrain. We are currently working on a range calculator which will help you determine the range in your unique situation.

How will I know if my battery is low?

AppScooter's touchscreen has icons which will show the energy level of each battery, as well as show an estimated remaining range.

Production

Where is AppScooter designed and produced?

AppScooter has been proudly designed and engineered in Amsterdam. We are currently preparing the setup of our production line based on a first class production facility. In this facility, parts coming from around Europe will be assembled to become AppScooter.

Servicing

Can anyone service my AppScooter?

As AppScooter is equipped with a lot of technology, it can not be serviced by every workshop on the corner of the street. Instead, using our Etergo Service Van, we'll come to your house, work or whatever place is convenient for you, to perform service and maintenance at location.

In this way, you don't have to worry about making appointments, getting to the workshop or the quality of the repairman - our Etergo Vans will make sure you'll get back on the road without any hassle.
