About two years ago, the Greek engineer and designer Nikos Manafis published images and videos of a project he had ready concerning an electric scooter.

It was based on the chassis of another electric scooter which he transformed giving it a completely different character.

The reasoning behind the change in the chassis was practical as it “solved” the problem of issuing license plates, which more often than not puts a “brakes” on Greek entrepreneurs who want to create something of their own.

In the two years that went by, the Greek designer worked a lot on the project which he perfected, and already, since last June, he has started deliveries.

As he has stated, a total of 250 motorcycles will be produced, while the model called Basic Urban electric 1.1 is already on sale outside of Greece, in France, and England.
