NOOS has a simple story. It is built in Greece, it runs on batteries and it now carries full EU approval. Greece’s first EU approved electric scooter NOOS gives local riders a home made option for daily trips, not just another import on the street.
The scooter sits in the L3e class, so it shares the same legal frame as a 125 cc scooter. That means plates, insurance and normal road use all over Greece. It also means the bike can move to other EU markets under the same shared rules, then reach new riders without redesign.
What EU approval really means
EU type approval is not just a stamp on a brochure. The scooter goes through checks for brakes, lights, range, safety and noise. National services in Greece add their own steps, so the final product needs to pass many doors before it reaches a showroom.
For the owner this turns into simple things that matter every day. Registration is clear. Insurance companies know how to treat the scooter. Police and city staff see it as a normal road vehicle, not a grey area gadget. So the rider can just charge it, ride it and park it without stress.
Designed and built in Greece
NOOS comes from Ecoshift, a brand inside the Petros Petropoulos group. Design and engineering happen in Greece. Assembly takes place on a dedicated line near Athens. So money spent on the scooter stays in the local economy more than with a pure import.
The design team pushed for a clean and friendly look. The frame lines stay simple, and the body panels avoid strange angles. This gives the scooter a modern shape that still feels familiar when you walk up to it. A recent European design award shows that this work speaks to more people than just the in house team.
Motor, range and batteries
Under the body, NOOS uses a 5 kW Bosch hub motor in the rear wheel. Top speed for the City version sits around 80 km per hour. The scooter pulls from 0 to 50 km per hour in only a few seconds, so it keeps up with city traffic from the first light.
Power comes from one or two removable batteries. Each unit holds about 2.2 kWh and weighs close to 12.5 kg. With a single battery, the scooter offers roughly 60 km of range in mixed use. With two batteries, riders can see about 120 km before they need a plug. Real numbers will move a bit with hills, rider weight and speed, yet the pack still covers a full day for most city users.
Charging stays simple. A 500 W charger connects to a normal household socket. A full charge for one battery takes about five hours, so many owners will just plug in at night and forget about it. Then they wake up to a full pack in the morning.
Comfort, brakes and safety
The scooter rides on a steel frame with a telescopic front fork and twin rear shocks. This setup aims to smooth broken asphalt, tram lines and speed bumps that fill many Greek streets. Fourteen inch wheels help the bike stay stable at speed but still feel quick in tight turns.
Braking uses discs at both ends, linked through a combined system. Pressing the lever sends force to both wheels, so the scooter stays more balanced under hard stops. There is energy recovery on board too. When the rider slows down, part of that motion feeds back to the batteries as power, so range stretches a bit in stop and go traffic.
Seat height sits around 780 mm, which suits a wide set of riders. Curb weight is close to 108 kg with one battery in place. So the scooter feels light enough to push by hand and easy to handle in narrow alleys or crowded parking.
Smart tech for daily use
The cockpit holds an 8 inch colour TFT screen. It shows speed, battery level, active mode and other basics at a glance. The system links with a phone app through wireless data and Bluetooth. Riders can check where the scooter is, how much charge remains and when the next service visit should happen.
On top of that, NOOS supports over the air software updates. New functions and fixes can reach the scooter while it sits in the garage. There is keyless start, so owners start the scooter with a fob or phone, not a classic key. USB type A and type C ports in the front let riders charge a phone or action camera during trips.
Full LED lighting front and rear gives bright output with low power use. So night rides stay safer and the scooter stays more visible in busy traffic.
For riders and for work
Ecoshift offers NOOS in a City and a Cargo version. The base layout stays the same, yet the Cargo model adds a flat rear area and strong mounting points. Then it becomes a tool for food delivery, parcels or hotel fleets that need a clean and quiet vehicle.
Load capacity sits around 180 kg. This covers a rider, a backpack and a full delivery box in many cases. Families can use the City version as a shared vehicle. Digital keys in the app make this even easier, since one owner can give access to other users in the same home.
Why NOOS matters for Greek mobility
Greece’s first EU approved electric scooter NOOS is not just a new name in a price list. It proves that a Greek team can design, test and build a full electric scooter that stands next to established brands on equal terms. So local riders gain a fresh option, and local industry gains a project that can grow.
If demand rises, the production line near Athens can turn out more units and support more jobs. Greek streets gain a cleaner and quieter form of daily travel. Step by step, this kind of product can help shift city traffic toward smaller, lighter and smarter vehicles, and NOOS now stands at the front of that move in Greece.
