When folded, the Atomi Alpha measures 44.5 inches long by 21.9 inches wide by just 19.5 inches tall (113 x 55.5 x 49.5 cm), making it compact enough to store it inside car trunks and other compact spaces, such as under an office desk, on a shelf inside your garage, etc.

The Atomi Alpha also features a very stylish and ultra-modern design, with its body coming in a solid metallic color (either Pine Green, Slate Black, or Zinc White) which is also coated by a smooth powdered finish, giving it a very cool and professional look.

More importantly, this electric scooter also packs a super-durable construction, as its frame is built of aircraft-grade aluminum that’s treated with an automotive-grade surface treatment, making its aluminum frame very sturdy and also very resistant against accidental bumps and potential scratches. This choice of material also makes the scooter itself very stable to ride, while still keeping it fairly lightweight, thus ensuring that users can comfortably control it.

Furthermore, the scooter’s aircraft-grade aluminum frame is also rated to be Water-Resistance against water splashes, including rain, splashes from potential puddles on the road or sidewalk, etc.

When it comes to riding the scooter, the Atomi Alpha is meant to be used as a stand-up / kick electric scooter (not a sitting scooter). As such, it comes equipped with a sturdy rubberized deck that has a really great grip and is also capable of absorbing most bumps and shocks, making it comfortable to stand on and ride it, even for somewhat long distances. Note that the scooter’s deck is rated to support a maximum load of 265 lbs. (120kg).

In addition, the scooter’s deck also comes integrated with a built-in kickstand that makes it easy and safe to park it on the sidewalk at any given moment.

Then, for even more stability while riding it, the scooter also comes equipped with two (x2) highly durable 9-inch puncture-proof tubeless tires that do not feature inner-tubes. This greatly improves its tires puncture-resistance in comparison to tube-type tires, thus preventing you from getting a pinch flat(s), and they can also be ridden at a lower pressure, thus offering you a lower rolling resistance and better traction. This essentially makes the scooter feel noticeably lightweight while riding it, even on rough surfaces.

It’s also worth noting that this e-scooter also comes equipped with a set of smooth rubberized handgrips which can effectively absorb most vibrations while riding it on rough terrains, giving you even more comfort during rides.

As for its safety functions, the Atomi Alpha also integrates a dual braking system, which consists of a front drum brake for its front-wheel, plus a rear electronic ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) regenerative brake for its back-wheel.

Essentially, its electronic ABS regenerative brake works as an energy recovery mechanism that converts the kinetic energy that’s generated when breaking with it into a form of energy that can be either used immediately for re-accelerating, or that’s stored in its battery when breaking / stopping the scooter completely.

Additionally, the scooter’s back-wheel also comes integrated with a hidden rear suspension system that provides riders with extra stability and ensures their safety when riding the scooter over bumps such as speed-reduction bands on the road.

Another really cool safety function that the Atomi Alpha features is an anti-theft cable and a built-in combination lock (integrated on the right-side of the scooter’s deck), which allow you to safely park it in any location, whether that’s outside an apartment, outside a coffee shop, or even at your place of work.
