About E-scooters

E-scooters

E-scooters, also known as electric kick scooters, have quickly become an integral part of urban life across the Nordics. Their popularity stems from their convenience, ease of use, and minimal environmental impact. Pure Electric, the brand behind this article, is a leading manufacturer of high-quality e-scooters, driving the shift toward sustainable urban mobility. To understand their success, it’s essential to delve into the history of these vehicles, their role in pop culture, technological advancements, and the regulations governing their use.

Our mission

Picture this.

Gridlock is ancient history. No one’s paid a parking fine in decades. And your scooter is the go-to for wherever you want to go.

That’s the world we want to create. And it all rests on building a different kind of e-scooter.

So convenient it fits into any lifestyle. So smooth and beautiful it makes every journey a joy. So powerful you feel superhuman riding it.

Where did all the E-scooters come from?

The History of E-Scooters

Kick scooters have existed for over a century, but the idea of electrification began to take shape in the late 20th century. Early versions, such as those from Go-Ped in the 1990s, were bulky and primarily designed for short-distance use. However, advancements in battery technology eventually led to lighter and more efficient e-scooters suitable for commuting and urban travel.

The global popularity of e-scooters skyrocketed in the early 2010s with the advent of sharing services like Bird and Lime. In the Nordics, they gained traction quickly, thanks to their eco-friendly appeal. Today, manufacturers like Pure Electric are at the forefront, offering premium e-scooters designed to handle Nordic weather conditions and meet the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions.

E-scooters have become symbols of freedom and sustainability, frequently appearing in modern urban landscapes. In movies and TV shows, they often represent youthful, active lifestyles, while on social media, influencers showcase them as a trendy and eco-conscious choice.

The Technology Behind Modern E-Scooters

Modern e-scooters are the result of years of innovation. Lithium-ion batteries are at their core, providing a range of up to 40 kilometers per charge. High-performance motors enable speeds of up to 20–25 km/h, meeting legal requirements while providing enough power to handle hilly terrain.

Pure Electric’s models come equipped with features like:

Regenerative braking to enhance energy efficiency.

Smart app integration, allowing users to track trips and battery levels.

Durable construction, designed for Nordic climates and everyday use.

These advancements ensure smooth, reliable, and environmentally friendly rides.

Do one thing really well

We make e-scooters. That’s it. Which is why we’re so good at it. We reckon they have the potential to change urban transport forever. Now that’s worth focusing on.
