Mobility: "New vehicle class": Novus wants to excite motorists for its lightbikes
The start-up wins high-profile investors. The development of the electric two-wheeler took longer than planned - but now the makers have ambitious plans.
René Renger, former Volkswagen designer, has launched his startup Novus with the goal of becoming a world leader in urban light mobility. The company's first product, the Novus One, is a lightweight electric vehicle that combines the benefits of e-bikes, scooters, and motorcycles. Novus has secured funding from investors, including 468 Capital, Eric Bach, and Martin Hoffmann, and plans to launch a more affordable model, the Novus Two, in 2027.
The Novus One has a top speed of 130 km/h and a range of 150 km, and is priced at €21,300 for a limited "Founders Edition" of 100 vehicles.
