“We got the idea [to create this model] because we were riding a shared scooter which was very big.
And we thought that something smaller, more compact, would make a good product,” says Hayden Riley, founder of the British brand Riley scooters.
At the IFA show in Berlin, dedicated to new technologies and household appliances, he presented the RS3, an ultra-compact folding scooter.
Marketed at 899 euros from October, it can be embarked without incident in a car or public transport.
The machine can be folded over its entire structure from the platform to the handlebars.
After a few manipulations, it can be slipped into a bag without any problems.

Like all scooters, this model will be able to spin at 25 km/h and will have a range of 25 km.
The RS3 will weigh 14 kg, a significant weight, when you have to carry it at arm's length.
An overload that can be avoided by removing the battery, which is removable.
