Lapa Electric selects Fingerprints for India’s first
biometrics-enabled e-scooter
Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints™), has partnered with Lapa
Electric, an Indian-based premium electric mobility start up, to
create India’s first biometric-enabled electric scooter (e-scooter)
to bring in the best every security system into two wheelers.
The use of e-scooters in India has sky-rocketed in recent years,
and this growth is expected to continue. In 2023, the penetration
rate of e-scooters in India was 13%, yet by 2030 this is projected
to grow to 75%.
Adam Philpott, CEO of Fingerprints comments: “Over the last 10
years, biometrics has become the preferred authentication method
for consumers and businesses alike. From our phones, laptops, and
payment cards to our homes and workplaces, biometrics is adding
security while removing friction. As our lives, and our vehicles,
become increasingly connected, we must enhance security processes
and biometrics is a natural progression to underpin the future of
mobility.”
By replacing traditional physical keys with biometric
authentication, only enrolled users will be able to use the
e-scooter, drastically reducing the risk of theft. In addition,
users won’t have to worry about losing or having their keys stolen
anymore as they become the key.
Pavan Kumar at Lapa Electric adds: “At Lapa Electric we are in
the verge of bringing in a totally new engineering approach to E
two wheelers like for example replacing heavy steel chassis with
weddings and bolts and nuts with light and robust seamless
monocoque carbon fiber chassis. Now we’re replacing physical keys
with biometric smartness. The resulting scooter embodies premium
and performance.”
Though the idea of having a biometric sensor was brilliant, but
the challenge was to find the smallest sensors that can be
integrated into our patented console and throttle system. Here is
where the collaboration of engineering between Fingerprints and
Lapa took birth.
Lapa Electric’s e-scooter will integrate Fingerprints’ proven
biometric sensor and algorithm. The biometric-enabled e-scooters
are presently under vehicle road testing will be launched in
limited numbers by early next year.

physical and logical access control, while improving convenience
