Nerva EXE e-scooter, with 150km range, introduced in Spain
What's the story
Spanish automaker Nerva has launched the EXE scooter in its home country. It has been built in collaboration with BYD.
As for the highlights, the vehicle has an aggressive design and gets a tall windscreen as well as full-LED illumination.
It draws power from an electric powertrain and promises a range of up to 150km on a single charge.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The Nerva EXE offers the perfect combination of good looks, great performance, and a decent range. It is tipped to attract a lot of buyers in Spain.
However, the vehicle's arrival on our shores seems unlikely. If it does launch here, it will rival the likes of Ather 450X and Tork Kratos and raise the competition in the electric two-wheeler segment.
Design
The scooter gets an LED instrument console and single-piece seat
The Nerva EXE has a headlight-mounted front apron, a single-piece seat, a pillion grab rail, arrowhead-shaped mirrors, and a raised windscreen.
The maxi-style scooter packs a full-LED setup for lighting and a 5.0-inch LED instrument cluster with support for smartphone connectivity.
It tips the scales at 277kg and rides on 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels.
Information
It attains a top speed of 125km/h
The Nerva EXE packs a 9kW motor linked to a 5.76kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. The powertrain allows the vehicle to sprint from 0-50km/h in 4.5 seconds, hit a top speed of 125km/h, and deliver a range of up to 150km per charge.
Safety
It gets three riding modes
To ensure the rider's safety, the Nerva EXE is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with a combined braking system, reverse control, and three riding modes: Eco, City, and Sport.
Suspension duties on the maxi-scooter would be taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and twin shock absorbers on the rear end.
