Evolet Derby specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed.
A spec sheet on its own says little. Here every Derby figure is set against the average for the 88 electric scooters on this site, so you can see which numbers are ordinary for the class and which ones set it apart.
The 0.3 kW motor is 4.7 kW below the class average of 5 kW, 62nd of 76. Battery of 1.2 kWh is 1.6 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 84th of 88. Certified range of 90 km is 32 km below the class average of 122 km, 61st of 88.
Charging time is 4 hours, 0.9 hours below the class average of 4.9 hours, 17th of 81. Quick enough to top up over a lunch break. Top speed is 25 km/h, 42 km/h below the class average of 67 km/h, 72nd of 88. Kerb weight is 76 kg, 31 kg below the class average of 107 kg, 8th of 68. That is weight you notice at walking pace, in a U-turn and when pushing it into a parking spot.
Seat height is 800 mm, 24 mm above the class average of 776 mm, 7th of 57.

Dimensions in practice
The Derby weighs 76 kg with fluids, has an 800 mm seat, 200 mm of ground clearance. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
Tyres are 90/100-10Tubeless front and 90/100-10Tubeless rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Electric
Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.
Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.
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.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
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.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Keyless start
Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Equipment against Edge, Glob and Ryder
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
Only the Derby has
- Single-channel ABS
- Keyless start
Rivals have, it lacks
- Engine kill switch
