Tohqi ML
Years: 2013 – 2014
Tohqi was part of the first wave of practical e-scooters offered in European cities, focusing on removable batteries, weather-sealed connectors, and straightforward controls so first-time EV riders felt at ease. The company emphasized appliance-like ownership over headline speed, pairing modest hub motors with frames designed for racks, top boxes, and the potholes of old streets. Dealer partners mattered: honest range guidance, spare packs, and charger availability turned curiosity into daily use for couriers and students. As incentives and standards tightened, Tohqi iterated on BMS reliability, charging safety, and braking. Historically, the badge represents Europe’s early EV groundwork—quiet machines that normalized plug-at-home mobility, proving that dependable charging workflows and simple diagnostics matter more than peak power for most short city trips.
