The frame of the scooter is made of a lightweight monocoque from Long Glass Fiber Reinforced SMC (sheet molding compound). The frame is designed to be indestructable in a crash. The shells of the scooter are 5x thicker than shells found in many other scooters, providing a high durability and scratch resistance.

The scooter is robust and is designed for all roads, also damaged roads, dusty roads and flooded roads.

The scooter is designed to carry two passengers. The buddy seat provides a comfortable seating and a safety grip enables a passenger to hold on during acceleration.

The scooter has a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) or regenerative braking in which energy from braking is returned to the battery.
