The Forseti claims a range of 100+ kilometres on a single charge and a top speed of 100 km/h. The neatly-styled scooter flaunts unique details like illuminated side panels, LED headlights and push-button release footpegs for the pillion.

Of course, this is a claimed time and we’ll need to test it before we can confirm this number.
