This scooter was conceived in Silicon Valley and engineered/assembled in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is designed to help alleviate challenges associated with urban commuting, parking, congestion, and pollution. It has a removable lithium-ion battery that can be recharged at any standard electrical outlet, providing optimal freedom and ease of use. Its smart, utilitarian design offers ample rear storage space so people can get where they want and take their belongings with them. Beyond its use as a personal vehicle, the GenZe 2.0 has also attracted a lot of attention from cities and corporate campuses who are searching for efficient multi-modal and first/last mile solutions to help augment existing transportation infrastructure.
"Oakland is the perfect place to combine electric bikes and electric scooters, with mobility sharing and solar power. Projects like Bike Solar Oakland and San Francisco's Scoot Networks are the type of Smart City Initiatives we are launching in Oakland," said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. "We are so happy to be working with Mahindra GenZe - this is the kind of innovation and partnership we want to see - finding that pragmatic but visionary intersection of business, environment and technology to equitably serve our community," she added.

-- Battery state of charge
-- Range estimation
-- Remote diagnostics
-- Alerts for theft, distress and geofence triggers
-- Customized navigation features.
These features are smartly delivered to users by an app through a GenZe hosted cloud and makes the vehicle the first truly connected electric scooter in the United States.
This electric scooter represents the most efficient, user friendly and sustainable transportation alternative for short distances with:
-- Minimalistic Aluminum exo-skeleton design
-- Class leading large storage Back-Bay, with a 75-pound payload capacity,
-- Removable battery with an integrated charger
-- Excellent ride quality with a larger front tire, calibrated throttle
