Acer has introduced the upgraded Predator Extreme PES017 e-scooter, set to hit the markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in the coming months. Originally announced at the Taipei Cycle 2023 event in March 2023, the off-road model has undergone several enhancements, including a more powerful motor and extended range.
Equipped with a 350W motor boasting 960W peak power and 40 Nm torque, the Extreme PES017 enables riders to tackle inclines of up to 18%. The scooter offers three speed modes, reaching speeds of up to 20 kph (~12 mph), 25 kph (~16 mph), or 32 kph (~20 mph), in adherence to regional regulations. Users can conveniently switch between speed modes using a handlebar-mounted controller. Additionally, the inclusion of a swappable 48V 10.5Ah battery provides a range of up to 35 km (~22 miles) on a single charge, ensuring prolonged rides.
