The iconic athlete is making a play in the crowded and competitive electric mobility sector.
Usain Bolt's Mobility company has launched a two-seater, all-electric and zero-emission vehicle.
Those interested in the Bolt Nano can put down a refundable deposit of $999 to reserve a vehicle, which has a swappable battery and seats one passenger in the front and one in the back. The vehicles are small enough for four to fit into one parking space. Speaking to CNBC's Karen Tso Thursday, Bolt said that, having retired from sport, he was entering a new chapter of his life. "Through traveling, through my times as a track athlete, I've learned that the cities around the world need help with congestion," he said.
