Short Summary

BoltZ: Fast, Long-Range, Lightweight Electric Scooter for a Cleaner Tomorrow


The Current Problem we face today

For short distance travels, all current alternatives have its tradeoffs. Walking takes too long, and biking is sweating. Public transit lacks the flexibility in routes and schedules. Gasoline cars cause pollution, congestion, and parking problems. An electric car still suffers with a high initial purchasing cost, the traffic jam, and the parking issue shared with all other gasoline cars.

The Solution

Our electric scooter is green, economic, portable and convenient to store, and it's easy to learn and fun to ride. We believe Boltz Scooter will be a game changer and disrupt the way we commute.




Reasons why Boltz Electric Scooter is a great product

  • Economic: Its energy-efficient design can move you around 500 miles for electricity cost of merely $1, almost 100 times less than when driving a car
  • Fast: A powerful 350W brushless hub motor is modularized and hidden within the rear wheel so you can go up to 20mph 
  • Long range:  A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery lasts up to 20miles on a single charge. Our lithium is slim, stable, and non-toxic. 
  • Foldable & Compact: The folding mechanism is so easy to use that it can be deployed in less than 2 seconds.  Compactness allows you to fit more than 1 unit in the trunk of your sedan with enough room left for your other favorite things
  • Lightweight: At just 33lbs, the scooter is truly portable to carry a short distance or up a few stairs, so it can stay by your side at all time. 



Designed for Speed and Power

With a 36V, 10.4AH Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, a high efficient hub motor, a controller optimized for most practical usage conditions and overall aerodynamic frame design, the Boltz scooter can travel up to 20 miles on a single charge, so you can go farther with lower costs and fewer charges.



Designed for Compactness 

Boltz scooter's patented folding mechanisms ensure its unparalleled compactness (120cm X 55cm X 30cm in fold). You can easily pack several scooters in the trunk and still have room for your other favorite items. 

Take it everywhere, store it anywhere.

The Boltz scooter weighs only 33lbs/15kg, significantly lighter than other electric scooters or electric bikes on the market. That’s light enough to lift up a few stairs or for a short distance.


Charge it wherever you like

Lithium Ion is ultra-lightweight and non-toxic in comparison with traditional Sealed Lead Acid. Given its portability and low weight, you can easily take Boltz Scooter with you to charge and store indoors. The charger can be plugged into a standard wall socket.

Made for durability and low maintenance

With its high-quality aluminum/stainless steel frame and high-end finishing, Boltz scooter is sturdy and designed for adults. The hub motor is brushless and integrated with the rear wheel, which means high durability and no chains, gears to fuss with. No drag when using it as a regular kick scooter.

Designed for Intelligence and Safety

LED display: Multimode LED dashboard shows you the speed, battery status, odometer, trip distance and total charge cycles at a glance.

For safety there is a 3 speed limit configuration on your LED dashboard to control the max speed of your scooter.

L1 is speed: 0-10mph

L2 is speed: 0-15mph

L3 is speed: 0-20mph


Safe-start throttle and two-staged brake: A configurable anti-jerking feature on the throttle so you only take off when you mean it. The brake first cuts off the throttle function, then applies braking in the rear wheel for a safe and smooth stop. The Boltz scooter ensures your safety from the start to the end of every trip.



Specifications of Boltz 10-Z and 8-Z model



Difference Between Boltz 10-Z and Boltz 8-Z


The final pre-production model in the video and pictures is fully functional and true to the specs. It has already gone through multiple riding/safety tests and been CE certified.

Help us finish the last mile, so we can deliver it to your doorstep

While we are close to entering production, your support will help fund:

  • Packaging design and material order
  • Mold fabrication
  • Development of color variants and customizable options
  • Infrastructure for user support and product maintenance 
  • Patent fees and other administrative charges on paypal and Indiegogo 

Most importantly, we need your help to spread the word. We would like to bring this sleek machine to the mass market. If we can get more people to know and test the scooter during/after this Indiegogo project, we can continue to improve it based on all the valuable feedbacks.


About Us

At Boltz Scooter, we believe that technology should improve the way we commute without polluting the city. It should also be cool and fun to travel around without compromising the safety of you and the people around you. Hence, we set out to develop the best electric kick scooter that is safe and fun to commute around your neighbourhood.


Our Mission

Our mission at Boltz Scooter is to provide eco-friendly alternatives to today’s energy-depleting problems. Pollution in urban city is a huge health concern to many. We wish to build a smart city that is clean and leverage on technology to make this world a better place for all :)

The Impact

We would like to create a new market with nice integration of existing technologies for the personal transportation space. We plan to build the Boltz scooter business as a platform so 3rd parties making accessories, apps, aftermarket modifications can grow with their business with us. And we will continue to introduce new models in the future.



Risks & Challenges

There is the risk of market development and acceptation. As for market development, we can see that electric cars have finally started to gain some traction. This is largely thanks to the success of the Tesla Model S. We expect this development to continue and to see that other electric vehicles will also gain popularity over the coming decade. 

As for the acceptation of the Boltz Scooter, we believe that there is a large opportunity awaiting. The public exposure that we've had always results in very positive reactions both for the design look and feel, but also for the use of materials and sustainable properties of the complete scooter. 

We believe that Boltz Scooter will be a success, and going by our lean and mean efforts to date, we will be sure to mitigate any unforeseen matters.

Frequently Ask Questions

Is the cost of shipping included in my pledge? 

No. Shipping needs to be added to your pledge. Please add $80 for continental U.S. shipping and $20 for shipping within Singapore and Malaysia. We estimate $140 for international shipping. We will update shipping information at the end of the campaign, however – with the $140 – it is a cap. The more we sell the lower this figure will become, it will not go up. Should the shipping cost decrease due to massive volume, we will promptly refund back the difference to your account.
What happens if I forgot to add shipping Charges when i pledge the product, how can i do so after that? 
Simply Click 'Contribute Now', choose 'No perk, i just want to contribute' and add the shipping amount. We will keep track of it and promptly deliver your product. Don't worry! :)
How does the refund credit from referral work?

Please check out our Boltz Indiegogo Campaign Rewards Page for more details

What happens if my scooter has an issue and I need tech support?

Boltz is dedicated to providing high-quality products with superior customer support. Our tech support team is based in Singapore and we will work with our growing dealership partners to help resolve any issues you encounter after you’ve purchased our e-scooter.

What is the warranty?

With a successful campaign, we can run a full-service center with our own dedicated workshop to handle after-sales service. We offer a 1-year limited warranty for the our e-scooters to cover manufacturing defects. Electrical coverage is 6 months and extends to the battery, throttle, controller, and motor.

The following situations will not be covered by warranty:

  • Water damage or malfunction caused by usage of product in wet weather

  • Malfunction due to lack of cleaning or maintenance

  • Malfunction caused by unauthorized modifications, disassembling or repair

  • Damage or malfunctions due to improper storage

  • Wear and tear from regular product usage

Is the scooter water resist? Can it handle the rain?

The scooter is water-resist. We put pretty good seals in the battery compartment and the controller/dashboard. If you get caught up by the rain on the way home, it will still work. With that being said, we still recommend to avoid riding in the rain for safety reasons, mainly due to poor vision and road conditions. 
Always wipe out water afterward and keep it dry to preserve the product life.

How well can the Boltz scooter handle a hill?

Yes! As shown in our video, the scooter has the power to climb! For a normal weight person, our scooter can take an uphill of up to 25 degree incline, which should be adequate for most streets/roads. 
We have several test riders scooting around Singapore. They are performing just fine except some notorious uphills. In those rare routes, a rider can either walk/kickscoot a bit or take a longer detour.

Will you be providing accessories and personalized products?

Yes, we are working hard to provide an array of accessories to complement the e-scooter. Please stay tuned.

How do you charge the scooter? Does it take 220V?

Our scooter can be charged conveniently using regular wall outlets via the included external charger. The charger is CE certified, and it can take 110-240V, just like most popular consumer electronics. 

Should you have other questions. please feel free to contact us at info@boltzscooter.com
