We test: Ewizz Spark 3 NX electric scooter | IOL


Ewizz Spark 3 NX electric scooter available in South Africa Acceleration on an electric scooter can be quite quick but the 70km range for the entry level model may be a bit tight for many. The top speed of 94km/h is pretty much on par with my 125cc petrol scooter. The difference comes in with running costs: A full charge for the 2.9kWh nickel cobalt manganese battery takes about eight hours from a domestic 220 volt supply, and costs less than R5. My petrol scooter is 2L per 80km = R26. So 5x cheaper is not bad and remember that there are no filters or lubricants to change when servicing. The top end Lightning NX: Higher power and 20% longer range with their biggest battery. Lightning NX offers 300cc equivalent power with a 7.2 kWh long life Lithium battery. Top speed is 120 km/h and average range is 150 km. Charge rate is 30 km/h, charge time from flat is 5 hours and opportunity charging is supported. See http://ift.tt/2oQuuVq or http://www.ewizz.co.za
