Hyundai wants to integrate an electric scooter into the trunk of its cars

To optimize urban mobility, Hyundai plans to place an electric scooter in the trunk of its vehicles.

While electric vehicles and eco-friendly micromobility solutions are evolving in parallel, they each have limitations in terms of versatility. Solution: Offer a vehicle capable of getting as close to cities as possible before giving way to a small electric rolling object.

And that's what Hyundai will be looking at as a proposal, as evidenced by recent patents popping up on the web. Under these plans, Hyundai will consider offering a fully foldable electric scooter that could be stored in the trunk, see Storm doors.

Scooter with charging right in the trunk

Similar in spirit to what Honda had to offer with Motocompo in the early 80s (a small asthma scooter for storage in the trunk of a city car), this scooter has the advantage of being well attached to the trunk and can be charged. right there.

With a loudspeaker to warn pedestrians, it can reach speeds of up to 25 km / h. But the technical information is not yet known, as well as the timing of the possible serial production of Hyundai or Kia vehicles. The two companies can offer a solution without competition at the moment, especially after the departure of Peugeot, which offered an e-Kick scooter in the trunk of the 3008.
