Overview
Introducing the 2012 Evolve Zinc, a standout in the ever-expanding world of electric scooters. Priced at an accessible US$ 3,100, the Zinc is tailored for urban commuters seeking an eco-friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered motorcycles. With its sleek design and compact dimensions, this scooter is not just a mode of transport but a statement of modern mobility. Whether you’re navigating city streets or enjoying a leisurely ride, the Evolve Zinc stands as a testament to the future of urban transportation. Under the hood, the Evolve Zinc boasts a robust electric engine that churns out 2.01 HP (1.5 kW), offering a top speed of 64.4 km/h (40.0 mph). The air-cooled motor delivers a smooth, quiet ride, ideal for those looking to zip through traffic without the roar of a combustion engine.

The Evolve Zinc is packed with features that enhance both convenience and performance. An electric starter is standard, making the process of getting on the road as easy as pressing a button. Powered by a 40ah LiFe PO4 battery, it offers an impressive range of up to 40 miles on a single charge, with a recharge time of just 2.5 hours using a 110v-240v outlet. The scooter's lightweight design, tipping the scales at 103.9 kg (229 pounds), makes it easy to handle and maneuver, especially in crowded urban settings. Its compact dimensions—1,880 mm in length, 635 mm in width, and 1,143 mm in height—make parking and storage a breeze. **
