The range that you can achieve on your scooter is dependent on a number of factors: Speed, rider weight & height, tyre pressure, terrain / hills, frequency of stops / starts, ambient temperature & wind speed.

Most scooter manufacturers report maximum range based on tests with optimal conditions at a speed of 15km/h. We have re-tested our scooters at the same speed with similar conditions to provide you with a like-for-like comparison.

Optimise your Range

Unlock the full potential of your e-scooter with these expert tips on maximising performance, understanding factors that affect your ride, and best practices for a smooth, efficient journey:

Check and inflate your tyres regularly

Keep tyres inflated to the optimum pressure of 36 PSI / 2.5 Bar. Proper inflation improves efficiency and maximises range, but never exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyre. If you get a puncture or notice excessive tread wear, stop riding and contact your local Pure Electric help desk.

Rider weight and luggage

Your scooter is designed for a single rider with a maximum load of 120kg, including your body weight and any bags or other items. Reducing the load will improve range and performance.

Speed, terrain and hills

For maximum range, ride smoothly and plan routes to avoid hills and choose flatter, less congested routes when possible. Avoid hard acceleration and high speeds, and anticipate stops to maintain momentum.

Temperature and storage

Your battery works best in warm conditions. On cold days, fully charge the scooter at room temperature before riding to improve range. If unused for long periods, keep the battery charged between 50–80%, and recharge monthly to prolong its life. Avoid using the scooter in temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.

Battery care

Use only the original charger, or a genuine replacement from Pure Electric. When the charger light turns from red to green, charging is complete. To extend battery life, avoid letting it drop below 20%, and don't leave it plugged in after it's fully charged.
