Indian e-scooter maker 22Motors recently obtained a patent for its upcoming scooter, the Flow. This patent includes Hill Assist control features, which prevents the scooter from rolling back.

The company has also equipped the e-scooter with Reverse and Cruise options, along with a Drag mode. This helps the rider drag the scooter besides him in case of a puncture or a breakdown, as the scooter continues to move at 3 kilometres per hour, which is the average walking speed and eliminates the need to drag the scooter.

It has a fully digital instrument cluster and supports smartphone connectivity. The company claims that the scooter has inbuilt Artificial Intelligence, which analyses the rider’s usage and adapts accordingly.
