Hyundai is taking electrified mobility a little further with the Ioniq, as it shows with the Ioniq electric scooter at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show. No word on its electric range, but the hand-portable two-wheeler can fold and fit into the Ioniq EV’s front door pocket, where it can also be charged, said the Korean automaker.
The Ioniq scooter features front and rear lights to aid visibility when in operation, while an occupant sensor detects that the rider is safely aboard the scooter before it enables riding mode. The rider scrolls up a thumb switch to accelerate, while decelerating is done via pressing a pad over the scooter’s rear wheel – much like the brake on a traditional scooter – or by scrolling down on said switch.
For now, though, the Ioniq scooter remains a concept, as Hyundai has no plans to put it into production. The scooter is part of Hyundai’s Project Ioniq initiative, with the first step being the Ioniq with three powertrain options: a hybrid, a plug-in, and a fully electric version. As part of that, Hyundai plans to launch 28 “green” models in the United States by 2020.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
cool stuff… however it seems that i want the scooter more than the car
Ionic is going to be a huge success for Hyundai. Now, everybody wants Hybrid or EV. We in Malaysia still waiting for Proton to launch their Hybrid. 8 years now have passed and still no hybrid.
I still want to support my local car maker and I refuse to buy kimchi or Jepunis. But my local car maker is still fast asleep and got no innovation from them
Really? I doubt it .the resale value for hybrid car is very low in Malaysia. Look at honda insight. As good as worthless even after 5 years..Now people are sceptical about buying hybrid car. A lot of uncertainty.
You want to support them. But you condemning it because it’s not joining rally, launched a car with no ESC eventhough it’s from other company, blaming for keep rebadging cars eventhough they’ve made a few cars from scratch. Is that what you called support? As a normal human being, I consider that as a complain. You’re just sarcastically ‘support’ it
He just wants to stir things as ordered by his overlord
same thought. haha.. better still if come with usb port for phone charging. (so can on waze)
Is this option available for the car here?
Hyundai should give this as a Bonus for buying the IONIQ since it fit into the EV’s front door pocket.
The scooter is great but should only be used in advanced safe countries like Norway, Singapore etc
The most important photo is not here; a picture of the damn thing fitting into the door pocket.
