›  ŠKODA Scooter designed to fit into spare wheel well without compromising luggage space

› Available now as a ŠKODA accessory through UK retailers

 

Milton Keynes, 20 May 2020: ŠKODA has developed the perfect accessory for the owner who needs to cross the city in style: the ŠKODA Scooter. Designed to allow owners to go from door to door without having to sacrifice ŠKODA style or innovation, the new scooter is another example of the brand’s passion for micromobility.

 

Of course, ŠKODA knows a thing or two about building clever two wheelers. Founders Laurin and Klement started the brand with innovative bicycles before turning their design skills to cars. And, as buyers have come to expect from the brand, the ŠKODA Scooter features a clever twist on the standard design. Thanks to a patented folding mechanism, the ŠKODA Scooter can be folded up in a few simple steps. Collapsed, it measures just 49×42×11cm and fits into the spare wheel well under the boot floor of the Kamiq (when fitted with a breakdown kit). This means that the entire volume of the boot remains free for transporting luggage and shopping.

 

Unlike many scooters, the ŠKODA Scooter has been designed for adult use and has a weight capacity of 100kg. The frame is made from hard-wearing steel and aluminium and finished in black with ŠKODA green highlights on the wheels and handlebar grips. High-quality bearings and wheels in polyurethane guarantee an equally fast and comfortable riding experience. Despite its solid construction, the ŠKODA Scooter weighs just 5kg, making it easy to carry on public transport or into offices.

 

The ŠKODA Scooter is available as an accessory through retailers and is priced at £120 including VAT and can be ordered now.

I’m liking that a lot...

I have a similar folding scooter in my boot all the time - similar spec, 100kg person 175mm wheels, just over 4kg in weight and £50.  The only thing it doesn't do is fold up quite as small - which is a good idea, except that most spare wheel wells are full of spare wheel or breakdown / puncture repair kit??  (albeit i mine would probably fit in the spare wheel well on the Swift anyway if there wasn't so much other stuff in there already).

e-Mobility from SEAT includes an electric scooter,

but then not legal to use on public roads in the UK, but then Grant Shapps MP keeps saying they will look into that.

If they spotted some of us older geezers on the scooters they would look into it alright. (can you imagine)    Really! it's toys for the boys.

Have to say I do get some funny looks when I'm using mine - although not when I'm with the kids for some reason...
