UNCOVERED: Brixton is developing a new lightweight electric scooter - Caught on Camera

You may have heard of Brixton before. The company is a subsidiary brand under the KSR group of Austria. With its bikes made in China, its offerings consist of affordable middleweight retro-style bikes. The company has recently filed patents for a new all-electric two-wheeler that's likely to make it to production pretty soon.

Unlike other manufacturers who are building full-blown electric scooters and motorcycles, Brixton’s creation seems to be more of a moped design ideal for use in the urban setting, as opposed to long-distance rides on the highway. It takes the form of a bicycle-like machine at the back, with an exposed frame and rigid swingarm. Instead of traditional rear suspension, it makes use of a single-seater saddle with a spring mounted underneath, kind of like what we see in vintage and classic-style bicycles.
