Aixam Mega (e-Scouty)

Country of production

The Aixam Mega (Aixam’s MEGA line, marketed in Europe mainly as the e-Scouty) is produced in France, within Aixam’s industrial hubs in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (group supply chain and assembly).

Market launch date

• 2023: start of commercialization of the MEGA e-Scouty (model introduction on the European market).

• 2024: range and positioning updates ahead of the next commercial season (strengthening of the group’s electric line-up).

• 2025: introduction/adoption of the Evo (MY25) trim in some price lists and catalogues, with updated equipment.

Facelifts and key updates

• No classic structural facelift (bodywork/architecture) for the e-Scouty is evident across 2023–2025; evolution has been mainly through trims and equipment.

• MY25 update / Evo trim (2025): increased “tech” and comfort content (display, infotainment/tablet solutions, finishes and styling details), while keeping the underlying quadricycle layout unchanged.

The Aixam Mega e-Scouty is an L6e electric minicar (top speed 45 km/h) with a more “crossover” attitude than typical segment citycars: mini-SUV look, higher seating, and a more distinctive design. It is intended for urban and light peri-urban use: easy parking, simple driving (automatic/variator-type transmission), and equipment aimed at delivering a “car-like” experience (infotainment, rear camera, connectivity) while staying within the technical and legal limits of a 45 km/h vehicle.

Powertrain and performance

Note: for the e-Scouty, different battery/range figures appear depending on model year, trim, and the homologation metric referenced (indicative values to be verified against the price list for the specific year).

Dimensions and capacity

Main trims and prices 
(Indicative prices; they may vary with promotions, dealer network, and list updates.)

Practical note: real-market variability is high due to packs, campaigns, and dealer availability.

Maintenance and early service (indicative costs)
(Estimates for electric minicars/quadricycles: high variability by network, geography, and tires.)

Pros

• Distinctive “crossover” style: a more personal image than more neutral minicars.

• Simple driving and urban usability: compact footprint and a top speed consistent with city/suburban use.

• Often well-equipped for the category (infotainment, rear camera/sensors depending on trim).

• Electric drivetrain: quieter and typically more comfortable than equivalent diesel L6e models.

Cons

• Structural category limits: 45 km/h and a city focus, not suited to real extra-urban use.

• Real range is sensitive to temperature, route, and driving style; declared figures vary widely by version.

• Purchase price can feel “high” compared with scooters or conventional used cars (different use logic).

• Some technical sheets show non-uniform data (battery, trunk, weight): verification on the year-specific price list is recommended.

In summary

The Aixam Mega (e-Scouty) is an electric minicar for those who want a 45 km/h vehicle with a more “crossover” stance and everyday equipment. No recent structural facelift is evident, but the product has evolved through trims (notably Evo/MY25) and technology content. It makes sense as a distinctive, “protected” urban vehicle, provided you verify the exact battery/range specification of the version you are buying.

Verdict — Aixam Mega e-Scouty Evo (model year 2025)

Electric minicar (light quadricycle L6e) · 2 seats · Front-wheel drive · Automatic CVT · 6 kW (8 hp) electric motor, 40 Nm · 5.54 kWh battery · Standard cycle range 75 km · Top speed 45 km/h · Boot (load volume) 422 L · Dimensions: 2,650 mm (L) × 1,500 mm (W), wheelbase 1,795 mm · Curb weight 380 kg · Price “from” €13,999 · Relevant option: auxiliary heater · Market launch: e-Scouty project introduced in 2023; e-Scouty Evo listed in the 2025 catalog (range update)

Aixam Mega (in e-Scouty Evo form) is an electric minicar with a very clear positioning: maximum urban agility, a “mini-cross” look, and equipment targeted at simple everyday use. In 2025 the formula aligns with the city context: compact dimensions, easy turning and parking, immediate driving thanks to the CVT, and potentially low running costs as long as use stays within an urban and near-urban perimeter.

The main limitation is not technical but “mission-driven”: being L6e, the 45 km/h top speed and the typical circulation rules of the category define a predominantly city-focused use case. Also, the claimed cycle range (75 km) requires disciplined charging: if you do not have a convenient socket where you live or work, the experience can become more complicated than the “minicar” format suggests.

Key technical points:

• Category and usage rules (L6e context)

  • L6e light quadricycle: maximum speed 45 km/h.

  • Drivable with AM licence (available from age 14); for minors there are specific constraints on carrying a passenger (to be considered case by case).

• Motor and transmission

  • 6 kW (8 hp) electric motor, 40 Nm.

  • Front-wheel drive; automatic transmission with CVT (forward/neutral/reverse selection via reducer/inverter).

• Battery, range and charging

  • 5.54 kWh battery.

  • Standard cycle range 75 km (real-world range can vary significantly with temperature, route, and driving style).

  • Charging: household/nearby solution (time and power depend on infrastructure and configuration).

• Structure, dimensions and load capacity

  • Claimed load volume 422 L; 2 seats.

  • Dimensions: 2,650 mm (L) × 1,500 mm (W); wheelbase 1,795 mm.

  • Curb weight 380 kg; maximum authorized mass 635 kg.

• Mid-cycle updates

  • The e-Scouty Evo badge identifies the evolution of the e-Scouty proposal (launched in 2023) in the 2025 catalog, with a more defined equipment/positioning structure.

Who it is for

City (or immediate-suburban) users with short, repetitive trips, prioritizing parking, simplicity, and predictable costs. It makes sense as a family second vehicle, a youth vehicle (where permitted), or a dedicated urban runabout.

Who should consider alternatives

If you often need faster extra-urban routes, want car-like comfort (air conditioning, insulation, performance), or need a full replacement for a city car (4 seats and M1-level safety/versatility), a conventional passenger car—or an L7e microcar (with different requirements)—is more coherent.

Recommended configuration

• e-Scouty Evo in an “essential” configuration if your use is pure urban and you have convenient charging (garage/authorized socket).

• If you live in colder areas or use the vehicle year-round, the auxiliary heater is an option to prioritize.

• Before buying, always verify: where you will charge, which routes are permitted in your area, and local circulation rules for L6e.
