- [Glen] The new mopeds and scooters this year
are moving increasingly toward being all-electric.
While most are electric,
we were still able to find a couple
of gas-powered ones to include in this list.
They also have many assorted sizes,
engines, and batteries,
and we even found a folding moped to include.
I'm Glen and today we are bringing you 10 new mopeds
and scooters to check out in 2019.

The scooter has a trellis frame

to be available in May of 2019.

formerly known as Bolt Mobility,

from a German automotive company to produce the AppScooter.
The AppScooter houses three 17-pound banana-shaped batteries
located under the floorboard,
and these give it a range of up to 150 miles.
The scooter can go from zero to 28 miles per hour
in 3.9 seconds and is expected to be safer
than any other scooter built.
A seven inch touchscreen with internet connectivity
is located on the handlebars and controls your smartphone
through Bluetooth to control navigation,
answer calls, and stream music.

- [Glen] With a new attractive
color scheme of silver metallic
with electric green accents and side graphics,

can accelerate from zero
to 30 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds,
and has a total range of 99 miles.

- [Glen] The largest two-wheeler manufacturer in Taiwan,
KYMCO, has announced two electric
scooters with swappable batteries.

include the Nice 110 EV and the New Many 110 EV.
Made for urban driving, the Nice is the cheaper one,
and has a range of 37 miles
and a top speed of 28 miles per hour,
while the New Many, costs are just a little bit more,
and it gets a higher top speed of 37 miles per hour.
The significant difference with the KYMCO scooters
is that they are building a network
of battery charging stations
where you can drop off the battery,
run around for an hour on an internal battery,
then pick up your battery fully charged.
The scooters are built with enough storage
to carry three extra batteries,
giving you the possibility of getting
a maximum range of around 120 miles on a single trip.

normal, that hits 30 miles per hour,
and the unlimited sport mode.
The bikes are limited from 50 cc to 125 ccs,
