Scorpio Electric granted license for road tests of electric maxi-scooter

The license will be valid for 12 months.

Singapore-based electric motorcycle manufacturer Scorpio Electric has received a Special Purpose License (SPL) from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for one unit of its flagship electric maxi-scooter, the Scorpio Electric X1 (X1).

Effective mid-July 2024, the SPL permits Scorpio Electric to perform comprehensive durability and endurance tests of the X1 on public roads for 12 months.

Scorpio Electric also received a Research & Development license plate from LTA to affix onto the X1 during its testing on Singapore public roads.

Scorpio Electric will leverage the test data to advance electric motorcycle technology and sustainable transportation solutions. The production and delivery of the X1 will commence in 2025.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
