Askoll EVA S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of two-wheeled electric vehicles for urban mobility. The Dueville based company produces e-bikes, electric scooters, components and kits. Askoll EVA is a subsidiary of Askoll Group, an Italian corporation specialized in manufacturing electric motors and drain pumps for washing machines and other domestic appliances.[2][3]
History
Askoll EVA was founded in 2014 after two years of preparing development within Askoll Group.[4] First e-bike and electric scooter models were launched in 2015.[5] In 2016, the company presented a prototype for an electric microcar (Askoll Elò).[6] The parent company sold a part of its main business in order to fund the EV activities.[7]
In 2017, Askoll EVA entered the French market with an own branch and received an order from Austrian Post.[8] That year, the company also started a collaboration with Italian scooter sharing provider MiMoto and launched two modified scooter models for professional delivery purposes (eSpro).[9][8]
In 2018, Askoll EVA stopped its microcar project and went public (Alternative Investment Market AIM Italy).[10] Furthermore, a partnership with Spanish scooter sharing provider eCooltra began.[11] In 2019, a range of e-bike drive-trains for the OEM market was released.[12]
In 2020, Askoll EVA launched the NGS scooter series, a further development of the eS-series with new design, quieter belt drive and bluetooth connectivity.[13]
