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. With a minimalist profile and a customizable frame, the moped features 11 reinforced mounting points designed to accommodate an array of accessories, including cargo baskets, helmet boxes, and passenger seats, allowing riders to tailor the vehicle to their lifestyle.
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 official website.
