Israeli Electric Scooter Brand INOKIM Earns Official Standards Mark
The Israeli electric scooter brand INOKIM has announced it has received an official standards mark from the Standards Institution of Israel, following a two-year approval process. The company claims this makes it the first electric scooter brand globally to achieve such an accreditation.
The rigorous process involved product testing, factory inspections, and oversight of the entire production chain, from battery manufacturing to final assembly. INOKIM stated that this certification validates their commitment to quality and safety.
Dr. Gilad Golov, Director General of the Standards Institution of Israel, confirmed that INOKIM successfully met the required testing standards and commended manufacturers who choose to operate under full regulatory supervision. The company, founded by brothers Kfir and Dror Ben-Shushan, boasts over half a million riders worldwide, with approximately 100,000 customers in Israel.
This development occurs amidst a significant rise in injuries related to electric scooter use in Israel. Official statistics from the Central Bureau of Statistics indicate that 1,465 people were injured in electric scooter-related accidents in Israel in 2024. Data from the National Road Safety Authority reveals a stark increase in fatalities and serious injuries among scooter riders, escalating from just 4 in 2015 to 356 in 2024.
