Final Considerations

Today we bring you a scooter that is a purebred among electric ones, being one of the largest scooters we have seen. Its bright and giant design impresses at first glance. If you want to know more about this scooter, keep reading, as there is much to discover.

The SmartGyro Raptor 18Ah impresses at first sight with its modern and sleek design. The lights on the base not only add a futuristic touch but also increase visibility at night, enhancing safety. Although it is a considerably sized scooter due to its robust components, it is still relatively easy to transport thanks to its efficient folding system.

This model is built with high-quality materials; the aluminum alloy always provides that extra rigidity while saving some weight in the process. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, the rider’s weight can go up to 140 kg without compromising the structure. The solid frame and dual-arm front and rear suspensions allow it to absorb uneven terrain, offering a smooth ride even on less friendly surfaces.

The Raptor 18Ah is very intuitive to use. From the first moment, setting up the scooter is a straightforward process, and the user interface on the digital screen is clear and accessible. This screen provides vital information such as speed, battery status, and other relevant data, making for an optimal user experience.

The folding functionality of the SmartGyro Raptor is another of its strong points. Despite its robustness, the folding system is quick and efficient, allowing the scooter to be reduced in size for storage or transportation. This is especially useful for those who need to carry it in a car or store it in small spaces.

Riding the SmartGyro Raptor is a superior experience thanks to its suspensions and powerful 1000W 52v motor. Sporty acceleration is guaranteed, going from 0 to 25 km/h in just under 4 seconds. Additionally, it has a function that, when going downhill, will brake to try not to exceed the set limit of 25 km/h, which can be a bit annoying but you quickly get used to it. The regenerative braking helps save some battery as well as reduce brake wear. The throttle response is quick and precise, allowing high speeds to be reached effortlessly. The adjustable hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels ensure a safe and controlled stop; in our tests, we managed to stop from 25 km/h to 0 in approximately 2 meters, which is essential for road safety.

The handlebar is ergonomically designed to provide comfort while riding. The LCD screen is one of the standout features, offering real-time information on all the important parameters of the scooter, projecting the image of a high-end scooter. Additionally, the integrated turn signals are a fantastic addition that significantly enhances safety by allowing effective signaling of turns. The electronic bell, in our opinion, falls a bit short if you want to alert car drivers in urban areas, providing a correct but not strident sound.

With an 18Ah battery, the SmartGyro Raptor offers remarkable autonomy, allowing long distances to be covered without worrying about constant recharging. The recharge time is reasonable considering the battery’s capacity, and its energy efficiency is an advantage for those looking for a reliable electric vehicle for daily commuting.

In conclusion, the SmartGyro Raptor 18Ah Certified is an electric scooter that combines style, functionality, and safety. Its advanced features like the base lights, digital screen, turn signals, and suspensions set it apart from the rest and offer an exceptional user experience. If you are looking for an electric scooter that not only meets your expectations but exceeds them, the SmartGyro Raptor 18Ah is definitely an option you should consider.

Now there's only one thing left to say... Happy riding!
