Terra Motors Corporation, Tokyo, Japan’s leading innovator of electric two- and three-wheeler manufacturer, unveils A2000, January 6, 2015. It is their succeeding model of A4000i to expand the e-scooter market worldwide.

“September 29th, 2014, we launched A4000i, the world’s first e-scooter with smartphone connection as our flagship model. Terra has received more than 300 orders of A4000i from Japan, Vietnam, Italy and Iran in the first 3 months. Following this success, today we are pleased to launch A2000.”, Toru Tokushige, CEO of Terra Motors says.

A2000 has consistent design as A4000i, but with more competitive price. Terra Motors hopes to meet the needs of the market for good quality, prevailing design but with reasonable price.

There are several changes between A2000 and A4000i. A4000i has single shock rear suspension, lithium-ion battery, iPhone connection, and only with white color. A2000 has double shock rear suspension, Lead-acid battery, without iPhone connection, and three colors including white, green and red purple.

A2000 will first be available in Vietnam from January 2015 as Terra Motors Vietnam will open 15 showrooms until March 2015. Terra Motors is planning to make distributor agreements in 10-15 countries until this summer to market A2000 worldwide.

Suggested retail price is approximately US$2,000, depending on duties and taxes in each country. Terra Motors will continue to launch the product line of electric bikes with competitive prices to satisfy more market demand this year.

Terra Motors will expand their customer base of A2000, to achieve their vision of “leading innovations with electric vehicles in creating clean & sustainable society”.
