ZecOO by Znug Design: a futuristic scooter from Japan

Znug Design introduces the zecOO, a new electric scooter boasting an innovative and futuristic design that makes it look like a motorcycle from some sci-fi movie.
The model is the brainchild of former Toyota designer Kota Nezu, who needed just 6 months to get from the graphic concept of his own vision of a futuristic scoot to the actual prototype, which was built by Tokyo’s custom workshop Suehiro.

The most striking feature of this prototype is obviously its flashy bodywork, that includes parts in wood and alloy and might actually be an anticipation of the electric maxi-scooter of the future.

At the front, in place of the usual forks, the zecOO adopts a central hub system, while the cantilever rear wheel is belt driven.
The model also comes with single sided swing arms at both front and back, but looking at the pics there are plenty of interesting solutions that, in terms of sheer design, are pretty interesting and original.
At the moment there are no official specs to talk about, but Znug Design said that the performance of the zecOO will live up to its jaw-dropping aesthetics.

However, a few rumors circulating on the internet reported of a quite unimpressive output of 28 hp and 67 Nm as well as an overall weight of 245 kg, which surely wouldn’t have this bike winning any sort of speed contest.
The first tests of the zecOO will begin this spring, but it is not clear when it will actually hit production.
Accordingly to a few sources, the price for the zecOO would be something in the 8,000,000 $ area, but we would find it hard to believe.
Maybe something got ‘lost in translation’ and that is actually 8 million Yen (roughly 75.
000 € / 100.
000 $), but if that’s the actual price, we might actually go for a dozen of something else instead, and keep the spare change.
