Boosted, a startup that got its beginnings with electric skateboards, has announced the launch of its first electric scooter, Boosted Rev. The scooter that is fast, durable and fun to ride weights 46 pounds. The heaviness of the scooter is attributed to the power it is packing.
Boosted Rev, which retails for $1,599, features all-wheel drive and dual-wheel motors (1500 watts each), is able to travel up to 24 mph with a range of 22 miles, and climb and descend 25 per cent-grade hills. Rev is also designed to handle thousands of miles per year for several years.
The scooter has three ride modes that respectively max out at 12, 18 and 24 mph. Unlike many other scooters in the market, Rev features wide air-filled tires to help with shock absorption and traction.
Rev also features three different breaking mechanisms.
