Keeway unveils two new scooters - E-Zi and Blueshark

KUALA LUMPUR: The 2021 EICMA (Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori) motorcycle show introduced us to many latest two-wheelers and two of them are Keeway E-Zi and Blueshark. The Chinese scooters run on electricity with the prices falling in the entry-level bracket. They will hit the market starting the first half of 2022. Let’s dive into their details starting with the Keeway E-Zi.

The 2022 Keeway E-Zi will be available in three variants - Mini, Citi, and Plug. 

• Base-spec Mini is equipped with a 1000W electric motor paired with a 48V, 20Ah lithium battery pack that offers a driving range of 37 miles on a single charge
• Mid-spec Citi gets a 1500W motor, which can be mated to an additional battery pack to double the range 
• Top-spec Plug is fitted with a 1000W motor, and a 48V, 30Ah battery pack delivering 50 miles of range

The lightweight electric scooter tips the scales at 55 kg (75 kg in Citi) and is loaded with premium components like full LED lights, a USB charging port, remote control, digital LED instrument panel, a dedicated app, and 14-inch wheels (with Mini and Citi versions) 12-inch wheels with 70/90 tyres (with Plug variant). The available riding modes are Eco and Power. 

Moving to the Keeway Blueshark R1, it is a full-size scooter, unlike the E-Zi. Being a spearhead of the brand’s new electric range, the EV is equipped with a 3000 W motor and 48V / 30 Ah lithium battery, that can run for 100 miles on a single charge with a top speed of 80 kmph. A weakened version comes with a 1500W motor and a maximum speed of 45 kmph.

Other significant highlights of the Keeway Blueshark R1 are 10-inch LED instrumentation paired with the ArkRide operating system, USB socket, 12-inch wheels, double hydraulic disc brakes with a combined braking system.

The Chinese automaker will announce the prices of new scooters in the coming weeks.
