When travelling by boat, the question of travel once ashore arises. If the trip does not require moving quickly or loaded, the same cannot be said for refuelling or laundry, for example. Today, many brands offer electric bicycles or scooters for easy mobility. Lightweight and space-saving, these means of transport are relatively easy to store on board.
But if you want to "pimper" a little bit, opt for the electric scooter pliable?! The XOR scooter - EXtraordinary Object on the Road - is available in two versions - XO2 8.0 (125 cc equivalent) and XO2 4.0 (50 cc equivalent) and was initially designed for motorhomes. But with its aluminium chassis, it will easily withstand the marine environment.
Easy and quick to fold or unfold (30 seconds), it is then moved by means of a handle, the electric scooter nevertheless weighs 107 kg (67 kg without the battery). It will therefore take several people to disembark and take the scooter aboard a boat. In relation to weight, XO2 will always be better suited for a medium to large boat.
The battery is detachable and comes in the form of an easy-to-pull suitcase. It can be recharged on 220 V - or with a converter - in 2 hours and 30 minutes. But what makes the advantage of this scooter is its great autonomy. At 90 km/h, we have a range of 100 km/and a total range of 150 km. Even if it is electric, the speed is there with peaks at 120 km/h (for the biggest model) or 80 km/h (for the smallest).
Quiet, the XOR scooter has many other advantages: a large loading platform (you can install a water pack under the seat and a large racing bag on the front), a trunk for the helmet as well as an optional trunk under the seat and you can mount two people on it. You will need to be licensed and purchase a mandatory helmet.
When folded, the scooter measures 1020 x 420 x 700 cm. Once again, we will have to find some space to store it on board. But if he gets into a camper, he should be able to fit on a bateau?!
XO2 is sold at a unit price of ?7,690, including ?3,100 for Battery.
