From Synthesizers to EVs: Teenage Engineering Launches Its First EPA-1 Electric Moped
Summary
Teenage Engineering, known for its innovative musical instruments and audio equipment, is venturing into the realm of urban mobility through a new collaboration with fellow Swedish brand,Vässla. Bridging the gap between industrial design and transportation, the partnership introduces the EPA-1 — Teenage Engineering's first-ever electric moped and a striking synthesis of form and function.
Short for En Passar Alla ('One Fits All'), the EPA-1 reflects both brands' shared commitment to modularity, innovation, and user-centered design.

Available in Class 1 (2,600W, 45 km/h) and Class 2 (1,000W, 25 km/h) variants, the EPA-1 offers two battery options: a 30Ah unit with up to 60 km of range and a 50Ah version extending to 100+ km. Both batteries utilize LiFePO₄ chemistry for enhanced safety and longevity, and can be charged on or off the bike. Additional features include NFC keyless start, a theft alarm with automatic wheel lock, LED lighting and both USB-A and USB-C ports.
Launching in matte black with more colorways to follow, the EPA-1 is priced from 19,990 SEK (approx. $2,096 USD). For more information, head over to Vässla's officialwebsite.
