Motor, battery and charging

The 450S's 5.4 kW motor is the 13rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 90 km/h, comfortable for city and arterial roads.

A full charge from a home socket takes about 7.45 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Dimensions in practice

The 450S weighs 108 kg with fluids, has an 780 mm seat, 170 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1296 mm wheelbase. Clearance is average for the class.

Tyres are 90/90-12 front and 90/90-12 rear, tubeless.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Combi-brake (CBS)

    Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

  • Hazard lamps

    All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

  • Rear monoshock

    One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Colour TFT console

    Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

  • Bluetooth connectivity

    Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

    Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.

  • Ride modes

    An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Under-seat storage

    Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.

Electric

  • Fast charging

    Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.

  • Regenerative braking

    Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.

  • Reverse mode

    Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.

  • Cruise control

    Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.

  • Over-the-air updates

    Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.

  • Companion app

    Charge status, location and ride stats on your phone.

Equipment against 450X, S1 Pro (Gen 3) and Rizta

Against 450X, S1 Pro (Gen 3) or Rizta, it gets combi-brake (cbs), rear disc brake, tubeless tyres and side-stand engine cut-off that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: hill hold, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
