Now the German E-Mobility specialist IO HAWK enters the scooter business. With the SPARROW, the firm offers a handy and comfortable scooter, which shines with many little details.

The SPARROW is 53 cm long and thus offers about 10 cm more of a thread than comparable scooters. Consequently, the scooter can be used by people between 150 and 200 cm with offering them optimal riding comfort. At a size of 120x55x118 cm in opened state the scooter only weights 12,5 kg, which is quite lights considering the built-in electronic devices. Via a button the scooter can be closed and then easily transported on public transport or other vehicles without needing so much space.

The scooter has a LCD-display integrated in the handlebar, which shows the speed, battery status and the driving mode (6, 15, or 24 km/h). Moreover, it adds to the high-end look: Together with the fancy aluminum frame and the cognac-colored handles in leather look the scooter is a quality frontrunner.
Security-wise, the scooter has LED lights in the front and back and a brake light at the back. A highlight are the underboard lights, which can be adjusted via the free IO HAWK app. Apart from the light adjustment, the app offers further useful features like a system-self-check or the setting for the speed.
