for an electric microcar (''Askoll Elò''). The parent company sold a part of its main business in order to fund the EV activities. In 2017, Askoll EVA entered the French market with an own branch and received an order from ''Austrian Post''. That year, the company stopped its micro car project, started a collaboration with Italian scooter sharing provider ''MiMoto'' and launched two modified scooter models for professional delivery purposes (eS_pro). In 2018, Askoll EVA went public (Alternative Investment Market AIM Italy). Furthermore, a partnership with Spanish scooter sharing provider ''Cooltra'' began. In 2019, a range of e-bike drive-trains for OEM markets was released.

As a result of the pandemic, business plummeted dramatically in the first half-year of 2020 (sales down 62%). In summer 2020, Askoll EVA launched its NGS scooter models, an evolution of the eS models with new design, quieter drive and bluetooth connectivity.
