Blueshark has finally landed in Malaysia with its battery swap technology, fitted to the new R1 electric scooter starting at RM7,190. Watch this video to find out more.
. The company is known for its swappable battery technology, and it has set up a small number of stations in the Klang Valley for owners to do so.for the regular R1 . The more expensive model comes with extra features such as a 10.4-inch full-colour instrument display, Bluetooth connectivity, loudspeakers, a front dash cam, rear ultrasonic sensors and even a reverse camera.
There are no mechanical differences; all R1s get a single electric motor producing 5kW and a healthy 201Nm of torque. As such, they will get from zero to 50km/h in 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 80km/h. The dual batteries, which have a battery capacity of 2.88kWh, provide a claimed NEDC range of 110km/h and can be charged to full in 3.5 hours.
The real beauty of the R1 is that you can simply head over to a BlueStation to swap your flat batteries for fully charged ones, but that will require a separate subscription that costs between RM59 to RM139 a month. There are also only four such stations at Petronas Batu Tiga, Seksyen 13 in Shah Alam, USJ 6 and Desa Mentari, although there are plans to grown the network exponentially in the near future.
