Amego Electric Moped Arrives in Europe, N. America

Amego E-Breeze retails for just $1,150 (€888) with 48V silicon gel lead acid battery.

Welcome Amego, a producer of nifty electric scooters boasting a lot of style and being manufactured in full compliance with both Europe and and North American standards. The Amego E-Breeze is a nice transportation solution bringing together the useful character of a bike and the convenience of a scooter, but leaving no smell of exhaust gases, no oil traces and passing you by with almost no noise at all.

The Amego E-Breeze can reach a top speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) and comes with a 45 km (28 miles) range, making it just perfect for riding to work or other small city errands. The 12 Ah 48V silicon gel lead acid battery can be fully recharged in 4 to 6 hours, and this means that you can ride your Amego E-Breeze to work even if you're a longer-distance commuter: it will be ready to go by the time you finish work.

Designed for two-up riding, the Amego E-Breeze weighs in at under 65 kg (143 lbs) and comes with a digital instrument cluster offering speedometer, odometer, battery meter and timekeeping functions in a nifty easy-to read LCD screen.
