This Transforming E-Scooter Has a Built-in Cargo Area

If you've ever ridden an electric scooter, you'll know the freedom that comes with zipping along in a standing position feeling the wind in your hair. With battery advancements and more accessible pricing, e-scooters have never been a more popular method of getting around urban areas.

The downside? You can only carry what fits in a backpack. Unlike bicycles, there's never been a way to haul extra gear on a scooter.

Until the MIMO C1, a 2-in-1 transforming e-scooter with a built in cargo area.

Cargo carrying scooter

At the front of the MIMO C1 is a dedicated platform that can be fitted with a cargo rack or composite tray. This allows the scooter to carry a rider in the back and cargo in the front.

When it's time to enter a building or maneuver a tighter space, the rider's platform folds up, transforming the scooter into an electric hand truck.

MIMO's campaign states the C1 has a carrying capacity of up to 264lbs for the rider, and ANOTHER 154lbs worth of cargo up front. The possibilities of what could be hauled are endless - groceries, luggage, deliveries, even dogs...

Performance specs

Below are the scooter's performance numbers, which we can only imagine are without a full 418lb load.

• Top speed: 15.5 mph
• Range: 9.3 - 15.5 miles
• Motor: 350w
• Battery: 10.5Ah user changeable

How to order the MIMO C1 cargo e-scooter

If you'd like to get in on the transforming scooter action, you can currently pre-order the MIMO C1 on Indiegogo starting from a $1,281 pledge. Higher pledge levels include larger cargo racks.

MIMO's fundraising goal currently stands at 69%. If funded, scooters are estimated to ship August 2021.
