OEM Pure & Pragmatic Design launch scooter JV in the UK

The joint venture is set to attract £30 – 40 million investment and will be set up at the Coventry University Technology Park, UK. The development of the product has already begun, and the launch is currently planned for early 2025.

The vehicle itself is planned to “seamlessly integrate advanced technology with sustainable design principles.” It is to feature a range of 250 kilometres, a top speed of over 100 kph, and “an AI-based power-train platform offering user-friendly troubleshooting and a fast on-board charger.”
