E-Mobility Takes Off: Mercedes-AMG Joins the Electric Scooter Market
Several major car and motorcycle companies are exploring electric mobility. Ducati offers a range of electric bikes, while Yamaha and Honda have released electric bicycles and scooters. Porsche has also entered the e-bike market with a notable presence.
Now, Mercedes-AMG has joined this trend with a performance-focused electric scooter. This new scooter is created in collaboration with Micro Mobility Systems AG, a Swiss company. Like other electric scooters, it can be easily folded and stored, fitting in a small area like an A-Class Mercedes Benz trunk, a garage corner, or even under a desk. Its light weight also allows for easy transport on public transport.
Performance Highlights
The Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter prioritizes performance. Unlike standard 250-watt motors, it features a 500-watt hub motor, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour quickly. It has a twist grip throttle instead of a thumb throttle. The built-in battery provides a range of up to 25 miles.
Key features include an adjustable handlebar for a comfortable riding position. The scooter also has a kinetic recuperation system that captures energy during braking. It includes mechanical brakes – a drum brake at the rear and a foot brake on the mudguard.
Premium Technology
The Mercedes-AMG E-Scooter comes with advanced technology. It connects to smartphones via a Micro App, allowing users to view ride information like speed, range, and battery status through their phone, which can be mounted on the handlebars.
Pricing
Currently, neither Mercedes-AMG nor Micro Mobility Systems AG has announced the price. However, given the Mercedes-AMG branding, the scooter is expected to be quite expensive.
I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
