Coming from Germany, the Naon Lucy electric scooter can go up to 100 km/h and offers up to 160 km of theoretical autonomy. Highlight of the show: it benefits from ABS, still rare on the electrified two-wheeler market.
New products in the electric scooter segment are coming at an increasingly sustained pace. The Naon Lucy that interests us today does not come from China, but from Germany, and more precisely from Berlin, teaches us The Pack News. Offered in both 50 and 125 cc, it is positioned in a rather high-end niche for a model in its category.
The Lucy first appeared in 2021, as a prototype seen in the cover photo. Since then, Naon has refined his copy, but has not strayed from his initial idea. The goal is always to offer an original, minimalist electric scooter that gives, if possible, an impression of robustness. The images below show the latest prototype, obviously very close to the final version.
The Naon Lucy’s two batteries are removable. Located in the floor of the scooter, they each weigh 14 kilos and have a capacity of 2.5 kWh (for a total of 5 kWh, therefore). The company promises a range of 160 km and a charging time of just 1.5 hours, which would constitute a real performance. Customers wishing to reduce the bill will be able to make do with a single battery, for a range of 80 km.
A maximum speed of 100 km/h for the Naon Lucy 125
Built around an aluminum frame, the Lucy has a wheel motor delivering 7 kW nominal and 10 kW peak. In its 125 version, it can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The 50 cc model is limited to 45 km/h, as required by regulations. Braking, provided by a disc at the front and rear, is equipped with an ABS system. Equipment that is still quite rare on this type of scooter, but which is already found on certain Segway models.
With its 14-inch wheels, the Lucy should be quite stable. The presence of the batteries in the floor allows the center of gravity to be lowered, which should also improve the sensations on the handlebars. This also frees up space under the saddle, which houses a trunk large enough to accommodate a full-face helmet.
Batteries to buy… or rent
Made in Germany, the Lucy starts at 5,500 euros for the 50 cc version and 7,500 euros for the 125 cc equivalent. But be careful, we must add to this the cost of the battery, billed at 1,000 euros. The second battery is displayed at the same price, which brings the additional cost to 2,000 euros to have maximum autonomy. Lucy also offers a rental package, at 25 euros per month per battery.
The launch of Lucy has not yet taken place. Customers in a hurry should be able to sign a pre-order voucher at the end of 2023. The German company plans to market its scooter across the entire European continent. France should logically be concerned.
