The funds will be used to manufacture the first batch of X1 pre-production prototypes. Mass production and global deliveries of the X1 are set to commence in the second half of 2023. To expand the future portfolio of vehicle model line-up, funds will also be allocated to develop new premium electric motorcycle models and variants that support the onward global march towards adoption of more sustainable energy alternatives.

“Developing an international product of high standards is no meagre task, and our engineering team is working tirelessly to validate and test the X1.” Mr. Joshua Goh, the CEO of Scorpio Electric, commented, "The pandemic presented our business with plenty of hurdles. It was a contributing factor to our new production timelines. Moving into 2023, international travel has reopened and we are working closely with a Chinese conglomerate to assemble the X1. We have plenty of supporters and business partners who are anticipating eagerly. This year will be an exciting one!"
