Fonzarelli X1 electric scooter: orders open
The home-grown electric scooter will go into production in 2018Australian startup, Fonzarelli, will begin manufacturing its eponymous electric scooter from January 2018.
The Fonzarelli X1 is the company’s higher-spec model, and has a claimed maximum speed of 100km/h (compared to 80km/h for the base model) as well as a lightweight frame, remote reservoir shocks, floating front disc and “luxury trimmings”.

There is also regenerative braking.
"After two successful years in operation, the time is right to bring manufacturing home – we have the skills we need right here, and we've engineered a high performing product with a simple drivetrain, efficiently and cost-effectively built locally,” said Fonzarelli Managing Director, Michelle Nazzari.
“We believe that all Australians should be able to enjoy the benefits of electric transport, and the newest edition to the family makes this option even more appealing to motorcycle enthusiasts.
“We collaborated with local motorcycle legend Matt Bromley and his team at DVMC to engineer the high performance X1.”
Price is $9890 for the X1, and is available for pre-order now. The first deliveries will commence from February 2018.
