“The overwhelming positive response we received after announcing the Wheels One, including interest from a vast selection of global distributors, has given us confidence in the value it will bring to the micro-mobility private ownership industry and the positive impact it will have on our business.” said Salvatore Palella, Helbiz CEO.
The new Wheels One device builds upon the success of the original device that revolutionized micro-mobility for communities and businesses. It maintains the convenient, patented and easy-to-use sit-down scooter form factor, but has been upgraded with additional safety and interactive features. These include a more powerful motor that can handle slopes up to six degrees, a Lidar system for detecting traffic from behind, larger brake discs and pads, and a one piece chassis design that is both strong and waterproof. The device also has an expansion port for accessories and built-in theft prevention.
