Everything points to what Doki It could be the commercial name of the expected electric maxiscoot that Livewire Develop in close collaboration with the Taiwanese manufacturer Kymco. Let us remember, an officially announced collaboration in November 2023, and of which we have already spoken to you long and lying.
According to the plans of both companies, the launch is scheduled for the first half of 2026, reinforcing, even more, the presence of Livewire In the premium urban mobility segment, where high performance electric scooters are rapidly gaining ground.
The application was registered on April 11 before the United States Patent and Brands Office (USPT), and details its use for motorcycles, electric scooters, two-wheeled vehicles and their structural components, leaving a few doubts about its goal, a maxi-scooter based on the modular platform S2 Arrow.
The meaning of Doki and its relationship with the project
Although Doki It does not have a clear meaning in English, it is true that the term is widely recognized in Japanese culture, particularly in the field of anime and manga. In fact, “Doki Doki»It is a Japanese onomatopoeia that mimics the sound of a heart beating rapidly, generally associated with emotion, nervousness or impatience.
This name choice seems a wink to the sensations of enthusiasm and dynamism that Livewire He wants to convey with his new EV vehicle, especially to a young, urban and emotionally connected audience with technology.
He Doki will rely on the well -known modular platform S2 Arrow of Livewirewhich already use models such as Sea, Mulholland and Mountaineer. As we mentioned at the time, this architecture was designed from the beginning to offer great flexibility in different electric vehicles, allowing variations in battery size, engine position and transmission, without the need to redesign the frame.
During the initial presentation of the project, Livewire He showed two conceptual prototypes that, although not definitive, offered several clues where the final design of the Scooter points. Undoubtedly, now one of the most prominent aspects is the rearrangement of the battery, which in these prototypes longitudinally travels the center of the body. In addition, the engine and the transmission system have been modified.
Also, the engine appears invested with respect to prototypes, and secondary transmission by Correa is now located on the right side of the Scooter, in contrast to the usual positioning in motorcycles S2.
These modifications are not merely aesthetic. They point to improvements in the distribution of weight, pilot ergonomics and transmission efficiency in a vehicle more oriented to urban and interurban displacements, where agility and ease of use are priority.
The collaboration with Kymcoone of the Asian giants of the scooters and light vehicles, is not accidental. Kymco Not only does it contribute your deep experience in the design and production of scooters, but also its large -scale supply and manufacturing capacity network, factors that will be essential for Livewire can compete effectively in an increasingly disputed global market.
Brand registration Doki Not only marks a concrete advance in the development of the first electric scooter of Livewirebut also reinforces its ambition to become a relevant actor, not only in the world of high performance electric motorcycles, but also in the increasingly competitive urban segment. The two -wheel electrical revolution continues to accelerate, and the Livewire Doki It promises many emotions.
