The XOR Urban Transporter folding scooter folds down in around 20 seconds
Image Gallery (23 images)
We first covered XORs folding electric scooters about a year ago but, aside from their top
speed, weight and the fact they fold up, there wasnt a lot of info on them available. Now weve
had a chance to see the folding scooter in action at Intermot 2010 and nail down a few more
details about the vehicle from XOR Motors that is dubbed the XO2 Urban Transformer.

The scooters are all powered by a brushless hub motor and high-density lithium-polymer
batteries. The 2300WH and 3000WH batteries of the 2.5kW and 4.0kW models can be fully
charged in two hours forty minutes, while the 4000WH battery of the 8.0kW model takes just
two hours.
All three models have the same measurements of 1750mm long x 760mm wide x 1100mm high
(5.7 x 2.5 x 3.6 ft) in driving configuration, reducing down to 1020mm x 420mm x 700mm (3.3
x 1.4 x 2.3 ft) when folded.
The batteries of the three models alone weigh 21, 25 and 30kg (46, 55 and 66 lbs) for the 2.5kW,
4.0kW and 8.0kW scooters respectively, contributing to a total weight of 73, 77 and 83kg (161,
170 and 183 lbs). So while the folding ability will mean the difference between getting one in the
back of a station wagon or leaving it behind, youll need a well made ramp or two strong people
to get it loaded.
The 4.0kW and 8.0kW XO2 Urban Transformer scooters from XOR Motors are available now
for 2,100 euro (approx US$2,920) and 3,100 euro (approx. US$4,315) respectively, with the
batteries costing an extra 2,000 euro (approx. US$2,785) and 3,000 euro (approx. US$4,175) for
each model. The 2.5kW model is set to go into production in a months time and will sell for
1,890 euro (approx. US$2,630) with an extra 1,900 euro (approx. US$2,645) for the battery.
