Singapore, 9 November 2020 – Scorpio Electric is a smart electric vehicle company specialising in creating electric motorcycles with a focus on high performance. Scorpio Electric has raised US$6.3 million in funding to develop and produce their latest zero-emission, fully electric motorcycles.

In 2018, Scorpio Electric received S$2.0 million in seed funding from their parent company, EuroSports Global Limited, which holds the Lamborghini and Alfa Romeo dealership franchises. This successful round of fundraising marks the next milestone in Scorpio Electric’s plan to create a global brand of electric motorcycles.

Scorpio Electric is a global brand with immediate access to the Southeast Asian market, which represents a market population of 200 million motorcycles and annual sales of 15 million motorcycles

Scorpio Electric also intends to differentiate themselves by making their motorcycles “smart” with the use of artificial intelligence and data analytics, allowing them to be even more energy efficient.

Part of the funding proceeds will be used for software and hardware development of Scorpio Electric’s first electric motorcycle. This will include numerous prototypes and pre-production builds that will undergo rigorous quality testing and checks to adhere to international standards. Additionally, the company will invest in the completion of their headquarters and assembly plant, which includes developing the various equipment, parts moulds, tooling, and IT systems, etc. The 3,600 sqm assembly plant at Teban Gardens is expected to produce up to 8,000 electric motorcycles annually.
