Renault 5 Scooter by Plume

Renault has developed a very wide range of derivative products around the new electric R5. Here is the made-in-France scooter.

In collaboration with Plume, Renault offers this nice little yellow two-wheeled device. With a distinctive design combined with the electro-pop colors of the new Renault 5, here is the first Origine France Garantie electric scooter.

It’s hardly an exaggeration to say that the look of this scooter, derived from Plume’s Allure model, is unusual. Its double sprung fork provides a frame with extremely prominent lighting at the front, which might be shocking at first glance. But Plume explains, noting that the main disadvantage of scooters is being looked down upon by other road users. With this front face styled like neons along with a central headlight, you won’t go unnoticed! At the back, the light is also quite large, functioning as a brake light during braking. Both lights incorporate turn signals, operated via the handlebar.

Regarding batteries, the choice was made for the 454 Wh model, which offers 45 km per charge. Too bad, because a second version offers 70 km thanks to a capacity of 702 Wh. The rear motor is 500 W, with a peak power of 1,000 W. It provides 5 modes, 4 for driving and one mountain mode delivering high torque. Nonetheless, it complies with electric personal mobility device regulations, thus limited to 25 km/h.

Overall, the Plume Allure weighs 20 kg and can support up to 120 kg on its two 10-inch wheels. If you’re interested, you’ll need to go through the Renault Originals website and be patient. Each model is made, or rather decorated, to order and shipped within six weeks. Before that, you’ll have to fork out 1,600 euros!!! A little tip from Mobiwisy: if you like this model, it’s offered at 1,299 euros on the Plume website. It’s not yellow, but you have 300 euros left to customize it.
