History

Askoll EVA was founded in 2014 after two years of preparing development within Askoll Group. [5] First e-bike and electric scooter models were launched in 2015. [6] In 2016, the company presented a prototype for an electric microcar (Askoll Elò). [7] The parent company sold a part of its main business in order to fund the EV activities. [8]

In 2017, Askoll EVA entered the French market with an own branch and received an order from Austrian Post. [9] That year, the company stopped its micro car project, started a collaboration with Italian scooter sharing provider MiMoto and launched two modified scooter models for professional delivery purposes (eSpro). [10] [2]

In 2018, Askoll EVA went public (Alternative Investment Market AIM Italy). [11] Furthermore, a partnership with Spanish scooter sharing provider Cooltra began. [12] In 2019, a range of e-bike drive-trains for OEM markets was released. [13]

In 2020, during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Askoll EVA had to suspend business operations for six weeks following a lockdown order by the Italian government. [14] [15] As a result of the pandemic, business plummeted dramatically in the first half-year of 2020 (sales down 62%). [16] In summer 2020, Askoll EVA launched its NGS scooter models, an evolution of the eS models with new design, quieter drive and bluetooth connectivity. [17]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electric bicycle</span> Bicycle with an integrated electric motor

An electric bicycle, e-bike, electrically assisted pedal cycles, or electrically power assisted cycles is a motorized bicycle with an integrated electric motor used to assist propulsion. Many kinds of e-bikes are available worldwide, but they generally fall into two broad categories: bikes that assist the rider's pedal-power and bikes that add a throttle, integrating moped-style functionality. Both retain the ability to be pedaled by the rider and are therefore not electric motorcycles. E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and typically are motor-powered up to 25 to 32 km/h. High-powered varieties can often travel more than 45 km/h (28 mph).

Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. Power is supplied by a rechargeable battery that drives one or more electric motors.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle, fully electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that exclusively uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, with no secondary source of propulsion. BEVs use electric motors and motor controllers instead of internal combustion engines (ICEs) for propulsion. They derive all power from battery packs and thus have no internal combustion engine, fuel cell, or fuel tank. BEVs include – but are not limited to – motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, railcars, watercraft, forklifts, buses, trucks, and cars.
