Blueshark has now officially entered the Malaysian market, allowing local users to get their smart electric scooters. The two scooters offered in Malaysia so far are the R series scooters - the Blueshark R1 and the Blueshark R1 Lite.
This electric scooter comes with a speed of 80km/h, and weighs 92kg. Blueshark claims it can travel 110km on a full charge. Unlike the need to wait for it to be fully charged, Blueshark uses a swap concept, where a battery station is provided allowing you to take out and replace the battery on your electric scooter with the battery on the charging station.
This electric scooter includes a 10-inch screen on the front that supports Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation, media player, driving recording, and several other additional features.
A dedicated application is also provided to facilitate users to manage any subscription, view driving statistics, view the location of electric scooters, and so on.
In Malaysia, the Blueshark R1 is offered at a price of RM9390, while the R1 Lite is offered at a price of RM7190. Price is for vehicle only without insurance and excluding SST.
It also comes with 1 charger, 2 charging stands, and 1 Bluetooth dongle. Users can add RM79 per month for the rental of two battery packs.
For the BlueSwap Battery subscription, it comes at a price of RM59 per month for 36 battery changes, or RM99 per month for 70 battery changes, or RM139 per month for 120 battery changes. Users can also choose to pay by exchange at a price of RM1.95 per exchange.
