Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “URB-E Sport is a cheaper, lighter electric vehicle”.
Hey it’s been popped with the verge here at CES 2017, I’m at Caesar’s Palace trying out the new sport version of the Irby all-electric vehicle. So what’s the big difference this year? Well, this Irby is 40 % cheaper at $ 899, and it’s 20 % lighter the whole thing is made in California. Even the parts are built, they’re not just assembled and Irby is really pushing the idea that this is for a new kind of consumer, one who doesn’t have a car and who cares as much about powering up their devices that they do about getting to work. You can now take the battery out and use it to charge up your phone.
Your laptop got USB n USB C to charge up a MacBook five times or your iPhone 40 times. It’S got a brand new suspension system different tires and Irby thinks that they’re going to be able to move tens of thousands of units at this price point and wait now. For me, the first Irby was great, but it felt a little squirrely. This model is much more stable and it’s much easier to pick up. I think that what they have, which is different from other companies, is something that feels as powerful as a bike and as adaptable as a scooter. I do have about four days at CES. Look forward to so might as well try and make it bearable.
Now this is the new Irby sport. It’S 40 % cheaper 20 % lighter definitely a lot easier to ride and to carry the urban electric scooter is still kind of a new thing, but if you were into previous versions of the Irby, if you’ve been looking for a good alternative to a bicycle, this Is definitely something you should check out. .
