Strutt unveils ev¹ personal mobility vehicle with 360-degree object avoidance and 3D terrain mapping

The Strutt ev¹ personal mobility vehicle is designed for all types of users who want to travel across their neighborhoods faster and more conveniently. Built-in 3D sensors allow the Strutt ev¹ to automatically navigate around obstacles like a self-driving car.

Strutt has unveiled the ev¹ personal mobility vehicle that allows riders to travel more safely than e-scooters or e-bicycles with automatic obstacle avoidance.

Micromobility vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bicycles have become a popular choice for local transportation. However, research has shown that injuries from riding these naturally unstable, two-wheeled vehicles have increased by over 45% per year.

The Strutt ev¹ is stable with powered, all-terrain wheels at all four corners, so it cannot slip and fall over like e-scooters. The seated position is more comfortable, with the head closer to the ground. The safety of the ev¹ is further improved with 3D LiDAR sensors that map the surrounding terrain with lasers. Two drive modes are available that use Co-pilot computer-controlled obstacle avoidance similar to self-driving cars.

In Support mode, the rider uses a joystick to control the direction of the Strutt while the on-board computer controls the speed, braking, and object avoidance to prevent crashing and tip overs. In Glide mode, the Strutt adds auto-plotting to automatically adjust the path down the tightest of corners and through narrow passages. Riders can monitor what the ev¹ sees on the built-in Live-View touchscreen monitor.

The Strutt is powered by LFP batteries (lithium iron phosphate), which are less likely to catch on fire than traditional lithium-ion batteries. New York and San Francisco have seen increasing numbers of injuries and deaths from e-scooter lithium-ion battery fires.
