What is the 4th Generation Electric Scooter?

With development of Electric Scooters, we can see hundreds of eScooter Models on the Internet. Some are cheap, and some are expensive. Some are small and light, and some are heavier and look large. Some only move 25Km/h, while some others can go more than 100km/h. Do you know the difference? Let me tell you more about the development of Electric Scooter.

In the past 10 years, most of electric scooters were used for kids and extreme sports. They are not Battery-operated. We call it the 1st Generation. Since 2013, some battery-operated scooters appear on the market because of "last mile transportation" concept.

In 2016, The most typical representative for the 2nd Generation electric scooter is Carbon fiber eScooter. Weighting only 7.1kg and selling good, it became more popular in 2016-2017. At the same time, bad news came too. Many scooters were broken and damaged by users because they are not designed with durable and strong materials. More and more stronger scooters took over the carbon fiber. In this moment, Xiaomi eScooter was launched on the market. It was designed elegant and cheap. More and more small factories started to copy Xiaomi Model M365.

In 2018, Bird used M365 for Sharing rental business, but they realized quickly that M365 is not strong enough and there were too much damages happening. At that moment, Freego developed V3, V4.2 which is exclusive for Sharing business. Freego sharing scooters were selling good and 50,000 scooters were sold in 2019 because of strong and durable design. This is called the 3rd Generation.

After the 3rd generation, COVID-19 came. The demand of personal transporter was growing... More and more copies started to flood the market because many small startup factories joined in. Xiaomi copy was everywhere because it was cheap and easy to get parts to assemble. Compared to sharing scooters, personal scooters are easier to sell and the quantity is still growing up. Most retailers want cheap scooters, but with good quality. Therefore, Freego R&D team spent 6 months to study and research the market to seek solutions how to save cost and improve the quality. Finally, we did it. We use Steel to replace Aluminium alloy as Aluminum cost is growing up and supply is in shortage. In order to meet weight of the people from the overseas markets (average 80-90kg), we had to use 500W motor. We saved cost from Frame and used the money for improving motor quality and configuration. After testing, we found that 48V is more powerful than 36V and at the same time we took the idea from Freego sharing scooter V4.6 and used the same suspension fork in our latest Personal Scooter Model E10 Pro. Finally, Freego 4th Generation eScooter, Model E10 Pro, was born. 

In order to distinguish between low-end scooters and high-end scooters, we classify the products according to their use scenarios, users and mileage.

• City Commute: For those who live in downtown and use electric scooters only for 1-5km distance. Must be light weight, portable and easy to store.
• Suburb Leisure: Go faster (25-40km/h) and further (30km+). Do not worry about speed limit. Most of them are used in countryside or Suburban areas.
• Wild Off-road: Go fast (40km/h +), even more than 100km/h. Only for fun, but can be dangerous if used carelessly or not according to the manual.

For the 4th generation, most users focus on quality, durability, and power. Therefore, branding and services are becoming more important than ever.
