Company mission
unu Motor's mission is to offer the ideal carbon-neutral mobility solution for allowing people to connect with their city.
Our take
Geo-political oil constraints combined with increasing global awareness of the negative consequences of fossil fuel-powered travel are leading many people to choose electric mobility over traditional vehicles. Electric cars present a potential solution, although they still compromise in terms of the difficulty of navigation, parking, and charging around busy urban areas. E-scooters and e-bikes can help overcome these issues, but they are generally not road-legal.
unu sells road-legal electric scooters that are designed to facilitate easy and comfortable travel across urban areas. The scooters seat two people comfortably and safely, can store luggage and helmets under the seats, and travel at 45kph for up to 100km on a single dual-battery charge.
Whilst the company faces competition from on-demand e-scooter and e-bike services, unu presents itself as a significant player in the electric mobility landscape due to its road-legal status. Furthermore, the company’s approach to selling scooters rather than loaning them is backed up by flexible payment methods and carbon-neutral price discounts. When combined with their lower price point relative to electric cars, the company is showing great potential as it aims to expand outside of Germany.
