China is undeniably one of the leaders when it comes to innovation in electric vehicles, including the domains of cars and motorcycles. This is evident in the continuous flow of new electric vehicles coming to the market, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down.
Among the latest participants is Pai Mobility, established in 2021, with the ambitious mission of achieving one million global sales of electric vehicles per year. Their response to the challenge of electric mobility is the Pai TS3, a new electric scooter designed for young urban drivers, recently presented at the Shanghai International Conference Center ANSA.
The Pai TS3 is available in two distinct trim levels, namely the S and Pro variants. The TS3 is equipped with a robust 15-kilowatt central motor, capable of accelerating from 0 to 50 km/h (31 miles per hour) in just 2.5 seconds and reaching an impressive top speed of 110 km/h. Additionally, the TS3 features the power of two 72V – 32Ah lithium batteries, ensuring drivers a generous maximum range of 150 km.
The Pai TS3 presents several remarkable features. Firstly, its weight is specified at 150 kg, although it is not clear if this estimate includes the batteries. Additionally, the scooter features ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technology, which alerts the driver to obstacles ahead, such as pedestrians and other vehicles. The ADAS is equipped with eight cameras and radar sensors, allowing functions such as adaptive cruise control and collision warning.
Pai Mobility is preparing to introduce its electric scooter to the European market and plans to implement a convenient battery swap system. Customers will have various battery options: they can choose a simple swap for a fully charged battery at a cost of €1.60, opt for a monthly subscription of €17, or choose a leasing option with a price of around €1,830 – (leasing duration unspecified).
Furthermore, the first 1,000 buyers will benefit from discounts, receive a free helmet, and enjoy a lifetime battery replacement service, all guaranteed with a deposit. For those eager to know the price, the TS3 Pro will be available for €5,699, while the TS3 S will be available for €4,999, as Pai Mobility is targeting the European market, promising more updates for the future.
