The numbers in context

Each figure read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed.

The figures below are the manufacturer's. To make them mean something, each is read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed: the class average is the number to beat, and the rank shows how far the Eco is from the ends of the field.

The 0.5 kW motor is 4.5 kW below the class average of 4.9 kW, 62nd of 77. Battery of 1.5 kWh is 1.2 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 71st of 89. Certified range of 80 km is 41 km below the class average of 121 km, 73rd of 89.

Charging time is 4 hours, 0.9 hours below the class average of 4.9 hours, 17th of 82. 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 89. Kerb weight is 60 kg, 46 kg below the class average of 106 kg, 3rd of 69. That is weight you notice at walking pace, in a U-turn and when pushing it into a parking spot.

Seat height is 770 mm, right on the class average of 776 mm. Most riders from about 5'2" will get both feet flat.

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 daytime running lamp

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

Console and connectivity

  • Ride modes

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

Electric

  • Removable battery

    Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.

  • 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.

Safety and braking

  • Single-channel ABS

    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.

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 Drift, Derby and Ryder

Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.

Only the Eco has
