Unique electric scooter design on display in city showroom

INTRICATE: The design by Magnus Gjoen

A unique electric scooter has gone on display in a city showroom.

The NIU MQi+ Sport features a design by multi-media artist Magnus Gjoen, and is being proudly displayed in the NIU Hull store in Bond Street, until Tuesday, February 22.

It was created using his signature mixture of delft blue. It will be auctioned off on March 18 in support of Brighton rewilding organisation Connecting The Roots.

Born in London to Norweigan parents, Gjoen grew up in Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, and the UK and works with everything from porcelain to fibreglass, prints to painting, and now, electric scooters.

His work has been exhibited worldwide.

The inspiration behind his design on the scooter originates from his signature use of juxtaposition and porcelain, using the old medium of delft blue and applying it to a modern electric scooter.

The MQi+ Sport is equipped with a 18650-power lithium battery, has a range of 45-65km, and a top speed of 28mph.
