Chinese EV Startup Pai Mobility Presents TS3 Electric Scooter

China is known for its groundbreaking innovations in the field of electric vehicles, including cars and motorcycles. The market continues to see the introduction of new electric vehicles, and Pai Mobility is one of the latest players in this industry. Established in 2021, the company has set an ambitious goal of achieving one million global electric vehicle sales each year. Their solution to the electric mobility challenge is the Pai TS3, a new electric scooter specifically designed for young urban residents. The scooter was recently unveiled at the Shanghai ANSA International Conference Center.

The Pai TS3 is available in two trim levels: S and Pro variants. It is equipped with a powerful 15-kilowatt mid-drive motor that can accelerate from 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour) in just 2.5 seconds. The scooter can reach a top speed of 110 kilometers per hour (69 miles per hour). Additionally, the Pai TS3 features two 72V – 32Ah lithium batteries, providing riders with a maximum range of 150 kilometers (94 miles).

One notable feature of the Pai TS3 is its weight, specified at 150 kilograms (330 pounds). However, it is unclear whether this measurement includes the batteries. The scooter also incorporates Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology, which alerts riders to obstacles such as pedestrians and other vehicles. This system is powered by eight cameras and radar sensors, enabling functions like adaptive cruise control and collision warning.

Pai Mobility has plans to introduce its electric scooter to the European market, and they intend to implement a convenient battery swapping system. Customers will have various battery options, including a simple exchange for a fully charged battery at a cost of 1.60 euros (about $1.7), a monthly subscription for 17 euros ($18), or a leasing option priced at around 1,830 euros (about $1,927). For the first 1,000 purchasers, discounted pricing, complimentary helmets, and a lifetime battery replacement service will be available with a deposit. The TS3 Pro will be priced at 5,699 euros (around $6,000), while the TS3 S will cost 4,999 euros ($5,264). Pai Mobility has promised further updates as it targets the European market.

Squarespace to Acquire Google Domains Assets from Alphabet

Squarespace has announced its plan to purchase the assets of Google Domains, making it the new marketplace for almost 10 million domains previously associated with Google’s short-lived venture. To address concerns about domain renewal, Squarespace guarantees that it will honor the existing renewal prices for Google Domains customers for at least 12 months after the transaction is complete.

Both companies claim that the process of transferring domains will be smooth, although this is usually not the case. It is uncertain whether Squarespace will increase prices or promote its website-building services after the 12-month period of honoring renewal rates.

Nevertheless, this acquisition presents a significant business opportunity for Squarespace. According to the company’s announcement, it will be the exclusive domain marketplace for individuals seeking a domain with a minimum three-year subscription to Google Workspace. Squarespace, known for its website-building platform, also offers domain name registration services. For current Google Domains customers, no immediate action is required. Squarespace allows users to transfer their website to its platform and move their custom domain from one site to another, as long as it is hosted on Squarespace servers.
