Whether you’re commuting to work or cruising through the city streets, the CMC Economy promises a blend of efficiency and performance that caters to environmentally conscious riders seeking an alternative to traditional fuel-powered scooters. At the heart of the CMC Economy is its robust electric engine, delivering 12 horsepower (8.8 kW) that provides a thrilling ride with a top speed of 88.5 km/h (55.0 mph). This scooter’s performance is not just about speed; it features an innovative battery management system that includes low voltage cut-off, over-voltage protection, and pack balancing, ensuring a safe and reliable ride.

The CMC Economy comes packed with advanced features and cutting-edge technology. It utilizes lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, offering a commendable range of approximately 30 miles per charge and enduring around 2,000 charge/discharge cycles. The scooter also boasts an on-board charger with a standard 110V / 15A connection for convenience. Safety is paramount with dual single disc brakes that not only provide effective stopping power but also harness energy during braking by using the motor as a generator. With an adjustable seat height of 686 mm (27 inches), riders of various sizes can find their comfort zone, while the vibrant color options of red, blue, and light blue ensure that you can express your personal style. The 2011 CMC Economy is a compelling choice for riders who prioritize eco-friendly transportation without sacrificing performance and comfort.
