A Padded Saddle a Sprung Fork and Room for the GroceriesA Basket Up Front and the Sun Ahead

A 600W rear hub, a 48V 21Ah 1008Wh pack under the deck, 20-inch wheels, a front disc brake and a sprung fork, with a padded seat on a post and wire baskets front and rear. It is a scooter you sit on rather than stand on, listed at 25 to 37 miles, and that one change is the whole product: no balancing on a deck at 20 mph, and no folded-up posture for a 40-minute ride, and no reason to own a second bike for the shopping.

Standing scooters are fast, foldable and miserable after twenty minutes if your knees or your balance are not what they were. This one keeps the scooter layout and puts a saddle on it: a padded seat on an adjustable post, a wooden deck in front of it, and the bars high enough that you sit upright rather than crouched over the stem. The seat is the part that changes who buys it, not the motor.

The two baskets are the other half of the argument. A wire basket up front and a deeper one over the rear wheel turn a commuter toy into something that carries a grocery run or a work bag without a backpack, and the deck still works as a footrest when you are moving. Both baskets come fitted, which is rarer than it sounds at this price.

Frame, Seat and Baskets

The frame is a black tubular spine with a low deck rather than a step-over bicycle frame, and the seat sits on a post behind it. That layout keeps the centre of gravity low and lets you put both feet flat on the deck when you stop, which is what makes a seated scooter usable in traffic.

Up front there is a sprung fork with a disc brake and a wire basket bolted over the front wheel; the rear carries a deeper basket over the hub motor. Both baskets are fixed to the frame rather than clipped on, so a loaded bag does not swing when you turn.

The stem folds at a single collar so the bars drop alongside the front wheel for storage. It is not a package as small as a standing scooter's, because the seat post and the deck stay in place, but it fits a hallway and the back of a hatchback.

• Frame: black tubular spine, low deck
• Seat: padded, height adjustable
• Fork: sprung, front disc brake
• Baskets: wire, front and rear
• Deck: wooden insert, footrest when riding
• Wheels: 20 in, treaded

Fitted as shipped: front and rear fenders, the two baskets, an LED headlight under the front basket, a wooden deck insert and the key ignition on the stem. The wheels are 20 inch with a treaded casing and orange rim accents.

Motor, Battery and Range

The motor is a 600W brushless rear hub with a throttle on the right bar and pedal assist through the display. On a seated scooter the throttle does most of the work and the assist is there for the hills, which is the opposite of how a bicycle in this class gets used. A geared hub rather than a direct drive, so it coasts when you release the throttle instead of dragging the wheel.

The pack is 48V 21Ah, 1008Wh, under the deck and key-locked. A full charge takes six to eight hours on the supplied charger, and the capacity is what separates this from the standing scooters that list 20 miles on a 10Ah pack and mean it. The capacity is the whole argument against a standing scooter: 1008Wh is roughly double the pack on a 20-mile commuter scooter.

Range is listed at 25 to 37 miles: the low figure with the throttle held open and a rider aboard, the high one at a steady 12 to 15 mph with some assist. Cold weather pulls both down, so a 12-mile round trip lands at two charges a week. The high figure assumes a steady hand rather than a held throttle.

Who It Fits and How It Rides

The seat post and the bars both adjust, so one size covers riders from about 5 ft to 6 ft 3 in. The deck height is low enough to put a foot down at a stop, and the seat is wide enough that a short ride in ordinary clothes is comfortable rather than a compromise.

On pavement it is stable and quiet at 15 mph, and the sprung fork takes the edge off a cracked lane. It is not a scooter for kerbs, stairs or gravel: the 20-inch wheels and the low deck mean you ride around obstacles rather than over them.

• Short commutes and station runs where standing is out
• Grocery errands with both baskets loaded
• Riders returning to two wheels after a knee or hip problem
• Not for kerbs, stairs, gravel or long-distance touring

What's in the Box

Before the first ride: check the stem collar is fully seated, set the seat post and bar height, check the front disc brake and the throttle return, then charge the pack. Ride it once in an empty car park before you take it into traffic with a loaded basket.

Color and Finish

Matte black covers the frame, stem, baskets and fenders, with orange accents on the rims and the model graphics on the battery cover. It is a scooter palette rather than a bicycle one, and the orange is what makes it visible in a bike rack full of black frames.

Touch-up paint is available on request. The wear points are the deck insert, the basket welds and the frame where the rear fender stays bolt on.

Battery Care and Maintenance

Charge the pack between 20 and 90 percent for daily use and take it to full about once a month so the management system can balance the cells. A 1008Wh pack takes most of a night, so start it in the evening rather than an hour before you leave. Charge it indoors rather than in a cold shed, and let a cold pack warm up before plugging it in.

Check tire pressure weekly and the front brake pads monthly, since a seated scooter brakes harder on the front wheel than a bicycle does. Check the stem collar and the basket bolts after the first few rides, and keep the deck dry so the insert does not lift. Check the stem collar for play every week, since it takes the whole weight of the bars, and check the basket bolts after a loaded ride.
