'Voi,' the Stockholm-based micro-mobility startup, announced the 'Voiager 5' series of electric scooters. These scooters are coming to the United Kingdom market at varying MSRPs based on the model of the scooter. The Voiager 5 series is notable for both its modularity and sustainability. Voi is calling this series its "most circular vehicles yet" as many of the materials on the scooters are made from recycled and upcycled parts.
The Voiager 5 e-scooters feature a modular design that allow for customers and repair shops to easily replace various parts, such as the wheels, brakes, or handles. On top of this, the scooters feature Voi's 'Magic Wheel' technology which enhances the riding stability for users. The Magic Wheel technology includes a larger front wheel, wider wheels with deeper grip grooves, and high-quality suspension for bump resistance.
