Do you need that much speed?
For most city commutes, 35–45 km/h is plenty. Extra power is most useful for climbing hills and carrying heavier riders, not just top speed.
Ride fast, ride safe
Always wear a helmet and protective gear, and follow local rules on where you may ride. Fast scooters need strong brakes — both OXO models have dual hydraulic disc brakes.
Twin 1000W motors and up to 65 km/h.
