500W Motor – Serious Power for Hills and Acceleration
The U1 features a 500W brushless hub motor – significantly more powerful than standard e-scooters (typically 250-350W).
Why 500W matters:
| Feature | 500W Motor (U1) | Standard 250-350W |
|---|---|---|
| Acceleration | Quick and responsive | Moderate |
| Hill climbing | 19° max incline | 10-15° typical |
| Top speed | 25km/h (maintained on hills) | 25km/h (drops on hills) |
| Heavy rider performance | Excellent | Struggles |
| Acceleration from stop | Strong | Delayed |
More power means more confidence in every situation.
Three Speed Modes – Ride Your Way
The U1 offers three selectable speed modes:
| Mode | Speed | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Eco Mode | 10km/h (6.2mph) | Beginners, pedestrian zones, battery saving |
| Standard Mode | 15km/h (9.3mph) | Normal commuting, mixed traffic |
| Sport Mode | 25km/h (15.5mph) | Open roads, maximum performance |
Note: UK law currently restricts e-scooters to 15.5mph (25km/h) on public roads for rental schemes. Private e-scooters are not yet legal on UK public roads – please check local laws.
48V 15.6Ah Battery – 60-70km Range
The U1 features a 48V 15.6Ah lithium-ion battery with intelligent BMS protection.
Real-world range (tested with 70kg load):
| Condition | Expected Range |
|---|---|
| Mixed riding (Eco + Standard) | 60-70km (37-43 miles) |
| Sport mode only | 45-55km (28-34 miles) |
| Hilly terrain / Heavy load | 35-45km (22-28 miles) |
Range is affected by: Load, temperature, road conditions, riding mode, and riding style.
Charging time: 7-8 hours (overnight charging).
BMS protections:
-
Unusual temperature protection
-
Short circuit protection
-
Under voltage protection

Ride longer. Charge less. Worry never.
10" Vacuum Tyres – Comfort and Puncture Resistance
The U1 uses 10" vacuum tyres (air-filled, tubeless design).
Why vacuum tyres matter:
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Puncture resistant | No inner tube to pinch-flat |
| Smoother ride | Air cushion absorbs vibrations |
| Better grip | Larger contact patch than solid tyres |
| Self-sealing | Small punctures often seal themselves |
| Lower maintenance | No tube replacements |
Note: Best used on flat cement or asphalt roads (as specified by manufacturer).
Dual Disc Brakes – Stopping Power You Can Trust
The U1 comes with front and rear disc brakes.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Front disc brake | Primary stopping power |
| Rear disc brake | Balance and stability |
| Dual system | Redundancy if one fails |
| All-weather performance | Consistent in wet conditions |
Two brakes. Double the safety.
IPX4 Waterproof Rating – Weather Resistant
The U1 carries an IPX4 waterproof rating:
-
Splash resistant from any direction
-
Rain-ready for typical UK showers
-
Not submersible – avoid deep puddles
Ride confidently in light to moderate rain.
Folds for Easy Storage and Transport
The U1 folds down quickly and compactly:
| Dimension | Unfolded | Folded |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 128cm | 125cm |
| Width | 69cm | 22.5cm |
| Height | 126cm | 46cm |
