Archos launches the first Google Android Oreo Powered Scooter
Well, don't shoot the messenger. ARCHOS, which has marketed a complete range of urban mobility since January 2017, is expanding it today with three new models. The ARCHOS Citee Connect, the first Google Android scooter, fully imagined, prototyped and assembled in France, will delight the most connected commuters.
Also previewed at the MWC 2018 (Hall 6 - Stand B60), the ARCHOS Citee and ARCHOS Citee Power scooters will bring to the many riders eager to optimize their trips, solutions as enjoyable as reliable. They will be available from April 2018 starting at 399.99 €. The ARCHOS Citee Connect will hit the shelves in the summer of 2018 at 499.99 €.
Designed and assembled in France, the ARCHOS Citee Connect is the first Google Android scooter. With its multimedia
dashboard, it comes in a large high definition screen, with a touch panel, embedding all the functions of a smartphone. Powered
by a quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of flash memory, and Google Android 8 ("Oreo"), this 5-inch display is protected
against shocks and bad weather. It not only shows speed but also distance traveled and remaining battery level. It is connected
in 3G, allowing the driver to access numerous applications and services during journeys.
The ARCHOS Citee Connect is equipped with ergonomic handles and large wheels (8.5 inches), puncture-proof and dimpled for better suspension. Its 250W motor and 36V battery give it a range of over 25 kilometers in urban areas. The battery life can be increased by 15% thanks to its energy recovery system, which automatically recharges the battery with each braking. It can also be charged via a docking station, very conveniently, available as an option.

Its display shows the speed and remaining level of the battery. It can support up to 100 kgs.

It provides maximum adequacy to traffic conditions and comfort with its two speed levels, slow or fast. Truly adapted to roads, it reaches a maximum speed of 25 km / h for a range of 18 to 22 kms. Ultra-secured, it is equipped with disc brakes, a non-slip coating, a headlight, a light that signals the braking in the back and a bell, convenient to warn its presence.

Getting around town basically, I mean we have cars with built in navigation. It's a means of transportation, having navigation ready out of box I think is pretty cool.

Actually, in big cities like Barcelona, Paris, etc. you can see quite a "big" amount of adults using battery powered scooters (e.g.). You can have one of these even on a 30 m^2 flat without taking nearly as much space as a bike or a folding bike.
But a scooter, which i'd say is used by 95% children least from what i see in my everyday life. what parent would buy their child a 500 euro scooter when it can be had for a 1/10th of the price?

I just don't understand the market for any of these... a Bike i could kinda get right more adults use them and for longer trips to and from work and even to just ride around with.

More and more people are buying electric scooters and bikes. I have myself two electric bikes that i use at different times of year instead of a car, suits me just fine and no more maintenance/gas/insurance/etc. costs.
For the summer time, or if i lived somewhere where it was mostly nice out most of the time (not where i live definitely) a scooter like this would be great. Why over the bike? Simple. Good electric bikes usually range $1000-$3000, you can find some cheaper, but they usually don't have good reviews.
Whereas with this (and others), i could pay less and mostly get the same experience. And, they are almost always easier to store. I always have to worry that someone is going to steal my bikes at work (i have two different very heavy duty chains on it and even an alarm that goes off if someone starts moving it, and i still worry), as well as it's not the easiest of things to bring into my house, so i leave them outside in a locked shed, but sheds get broken into all the time as well. Whereas if i could get away with a scooter (again, my environment is a no-go on that) i could bring it in my work with me as well as in my house, since they fold.
