A NEW HIGH TECH EXPERIENCE FOR CITY LOVERS
Ujet’s mobility solution embodies efficiency. Noiseless and with zero tail-pipe emissions, it contributes to a healthier, quieter, and cleaner environment. Key to reducing global GHG emissions and enhancing air quality. Ujet is designed for optimum use in cities.

Foldable and equipped with a compact and rollable battery, it requires no dedicated charging infrastructure on-street.

Pre-orders are now available online’.
