The world is now full of electric scooters, but the new Renamax is truly unique because it is the first to be produced in the Mena region, “Middle East and North Africa”, the boundless area that goes from Morocco to Iran and which includes most part of both the Middle Eastern states and the Maghreb. The project is by Barq who built and developed the scooter in collaboration with the American catering giant and the delivery platform Jahez. Entrusting everything to Callum, a world-renowned design and engineering company.

The result is an electric scooter with an interchangeable 5.6 Kwh lithium battery, a range of up to 150 km and a top speed of 97 km / h obtained with a 9 kW electric motor. There is also a reverse gear, several driving modes and an integrated 8-inch touch screen.

From the idea of a pony pizza, the startup that wants to revolutionize fast deliveries
by Luca Indemini
All with several innovations related to battery cooling, IoT and fully integrated software that interfaces with the platforms of the storage and delivery areas designed to improve the quality of shipments through temperature control. In fact, the insulated top box has a special coating for foodstuffs, configurable shelving and an integrated thermometer. The locking system is then electronically controlled to record and track all the openings and closings of the box. This offers greater safety for the transport of food.

The Renamax rider then sits in a kind of armchair, a special saddle that lowers the heat during prolonged use, a very important detail for use in the hot countries of the Middle East and Africa. The idea is not only to improve the delivery man’s daily work but also the quality of the delivery itself.
Production will begin at the end of 2022 and Barq expects to churn out 50,000 units a year by 2025 for the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the largest commercial motorcycle markets in the world.
