[London, UK] LAVOIE, the fresh face in micro-mobility born out of McLaren Applied, has shed light on its revolutionary 'FlowFold' folding technology that defines the Series 1 e-scooter, a high-performance marvel now open for global pre-orders.
The groundbreaking patent pending FlowFoldTM system is the star feature that propels the Series 1 into a league of its own. Departing from convention, FlowFoldTM is a game-changer that brings an array of advantages. With a simple press of a button, the Series 1 transforms, folding down into an exceptionally compact e-scooter within its category. This seamless motion collapses the stem and elegantly positions the front wheel over the scooter deck, resulting in unparalleled compactness.
Drawing inspiration from precision automotive suspension systems, the FlowFoldTM innovation shapes the Series 1 into an astoundingly compact form, ensuring an effortless fit into daily routines. Unveiling an era of ultimate portability and convenience, the FlowFoldTM-enabled Series 1 unfurls boundless possibilities.
Beyond its sleek design, the Series 1 also boasts top-tier safety and comfort. The FlowFoldTM technology empowers LAVOIE to introduce a broader and lengthier deck compared to other e-scooter manufacturers, while still maintaining its foldable allure. The expanded deck and elongated wheelbase grant the Series 1 a secure and velvety automotive-like ride. This ride quality offers a variety of foot positions, drastically improving shock and vibration absorption. Comfort and control soar to new heights with the introduction of FlowFoldTM.
This transformative mechanism also empowers the Series 1 to accommodate taller handlebars, featuring an elevated stem angle reminiscent of a motorbike. Skillfully leveraging McLaren Applied's expertise in motorsport and automotive fields, engineers have masterfully crafted a steering experience that is smooth, predictable, and easily modulated. When combined with the scooter's finely tuned ergonomics, riders relish unmatched comfort and absolute mastery over their ride.
FlowFoldTM does not stop at design and ride dynamics; it paves the way for the groundbreaking 'Park Mode' feature, further enhancing user convenience. With a single button press, the Series 1 gracefully transitions into its intermediate stance – a secure, cushioned resting position perfect for effortless storage on the move. The era of clunky kickstands has gracefully bowed out.
Eliott Wertheimer, the visionary CEO of LAVOIE, remarked, “FlowFoldTM stands as a testament to our team's ingenuity – it's the driving force behind what sets our Series 1 e-scooter miles apart from the competition. By reimagining the premium e-mobility landscape through the lens of motorsport and automotive expertise, we've harnessed the power to create a transformative technology that opens up new horizons.
“FlowFoldTM has provided us the canvas to innovate and spearhead the market, birthing a premium e-scooter that raises the bar for micro-mobility. The Series 1 is the embodiment of user-centric design, delivering unparalleled safety, convenience, and performance. It's a revolution in urban mobility that's poised to redefine the cityscape.”
