Terra e-scooter linked to iPhone

Japan's leading electric motorcycle producer, Terra Motors Corp, says it will offer an e-scooter that can be linked to an iPhone in December.

The new product, which will be introduced in Viet Nam and other countries at the same time, could take market share away from Honda Vietnam, according to the company.

In the future, the e-scooter will be able to work with other smartphone brands, Terra Motors said.

The A4000i motorbike is the world's first wireless, smartphone-connected e-scooter in which information about the battery and power consumption, mileage and speed can be displayed on-screen using an iPhone 3G up to its newest iPhone 5 model, according to the manufacturer.

The environmentally friendly but powerful bike is operated by a lithium battery that can last for 65 kilometres and give maximum speed of 65km per hour, according to Shingo Hayashi, general director of Terra Motors Vietnam.
