Teenage Engineering makes fancy music gear like the OP-1 and OP-XY synths. The Swedish company sometimes tries making other stuff beyond music equipment. Their past projects include a desk that cost $1,599 and work with IKEA on lights and speakers. They also helped design the Rabbit R1 gadget that got bad reviews.
The company just announced their strangest product ever. They teamed up with Stockholm bike maker Vässla to create EPA-1, an electric moped. The scooter looks clean and simple, just like their music products. Marketing materials sound similar to how they sell synthesizers.
EPA-1 comes in two versions with different battery sizes. The bigger battery version can travel up to 120 kilometers on one charge. Launch models come in black color only. More colors arrive at the end of June. The moped has 11 mounting points for adding accessories and modifications.
EPA stands for En Passar Alla, which means One Fits All in Swedish. The name highlights how buyers can customize their ride. Teenage Engineering usually charges very high prices for their products. The OP-XY costs $2,299 and their OP-1 Field costs $9,999. EPA-1 costs 19,990 Swedish kronor, about $2,100. That price seems reasonable for electric mopeds and costs less than some of their synthesizers.
