Yo Bykes Electron specifications and features
Discontinued 2021Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed.
A spec sheet on its own says little. Here every Electron figure is set against the average for the 89 electric scooters on this site, so you can see which numbers are ordinary for the class and which ones set it apart.
The 1.2 kWh battery is 1.6 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 84th of 89. Certified range of 70 km is 51 km below the class average of 121 km, 80th of 89.
Charging time is 8 hours, 3 hours above the class average of 5 hours, 77th of 82. Plan on an overnight charge rather than a top-up between errands. Top speed is 25 km/h, 42 km/h below the class average of 67 km/h, 72nd of 89. Kerb weight is 84 kg, 22 kg below the class average of 106 kg, 15th of 69. That is weight you notice at walking pace, in a U-turn and when pushing it into a parking spot.
