Design and features:
Though the S1X shares some components like wheels and suspension with its sibling, the S1 Air, its unique design ensures a distinct appearance. The teaser image indicates a different facial design, while certain elements like the rear tail lamp are expected to stay consistent with the other models in the S1 range.
Tech-savvy yet simplified:
While maintaining a similar styling to its more expensive counterparts, the S1X will come with a slightly lower resolution digital screen displaying basic scooter information. The specifics about navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and internet access have yet to be confirmed.
