What if the Mayor of Barcelona wanted a zero emission city centre...

In late 2010, the Mayor of Barcelona announced his vision for the city centre to become CO₂ and emissions free within four years. A joint project was formed under Cluster Moto with support from the Catalan administration and in collaboration with Barca University. The result is the MIUS electric scooter by Rieju - an alternative for individual lightweight transport. The Rieju MIUS (pronounced 'my us') is one of the most efficient, functional and green urban scooters available for personal or fleet use.

The zero emission Rieju MIUS electric scooter is equipped with automotive quality lithium Ion NCM high density, low voltage batteries (48V) allowing a range of 25 – 30 miles (depending on usage cycle).

The efficient 3KW motor can develop speeds of 30 mph (moped) or 40mph (Motorcycle status). The design is robust yet lightweight (just 95KG) with 5-way adjustable twin hydraulic rear shocks and powerful disc brakes on both wheels. This large-wheeled scooter is ergonomically suited to riders of all sizes. MIUS has a range of accessories to increase luggage capacity and rider comfort for longer journeys or for use as a fleet delivery machine.
