Electric Scooters

E-scooter rules vary significantly across Europe and change often. In Germany, private e-scooters need ABE certification and insurance and are capped at 20 km/h. In France the limit is 25 km/h on cycle lanes. In some countries private e-scooters are still not permitted on public roads at all.

Our scooters ship with a 25 km/h factory speed limit. Higher-output models are intended for off-road and private-land use. Always check your national and local regulations before riding.

Every range figure we publish is a best case, measured under favourable conditions. Real-world range is always lower and depends on rider weight, assist level, terrain, headwind, temperature and tyre pressure. Cold weather in particular cuts range noticeably.

As a rough guide, plan for around 60–75% of the headline figure in everyday mixed riding, and less again if you rely on a throttle or ride hilly terrain.

Lithium batteries last longest when they are not stored at extremes. Avoid leaving the battery at 0% or sitting at 100% for weeks; around 40–60% is ideal for long storage. Charge indoors at room temperature, use the supplied charger, and avoid charging straight after a hard ride while the pack is still hot.

Treated this way, expect several hundred full charge cycles before you see meaningful capacity loss.
