Motor and speed
The 500 W rear motor provides power for city journeys and helps with acceleration and riding uphill. It is more powerful than the 250–350 W motors used in some urban scooters.
The commonly stated maximum speed is 25 km/h. A speed of around 30 km/h is also reported in real-world riding, although the conditions needed to reach it are not specified. Adjust your speed to the road surface, traffic and local rules.
Battery, range and charging
The scooter has a 36 V, 7.5 Ah battery and a stated range of up to 35 km, which may cover everyday city journeys. This is a maximum figure: actual range depends on factors including rider weight, speed, route gradients and temperature.
Charging takes approximately 5–6 hours, so the battery can be charged during a working day or overnight. A battery management system (BMS) monitors charging and cell temperature, helping to protect battery life.
Suspension and tyres
The i12 has suspension at both the front and rear. It helps absorb impacts on uneven surfaces, such as city paving. The 12-inch tyres contribute to stability and grip on asphalt and less even roads. Suspension does not remove the need to slow down for significant bumps.
Brakes and lights
The braking system combines an electronic E-ABS brake with front and rear disc brakes. Electronic and mechanical braking help the rider slow down, but stopping distance also depends on speed and the road surface.
Front and rear LED lights help the rider see and make the scooter more visible to other road users. They are especially useful after dark and in poor visibility.
Who is the iScooter i12 for?
The iScooter i12 is intended primarily for city travel. Its more powerful motor, suspension and larger tyres are useful on routes with hills or uneven surfaces. When planning a journey, bear in mind that the range may be shorter than the stated 35 km and that charging takes several hours.
