New Predator Notebooks and Monitors Made Their Debut at Intel Extreme Masters in Europe from Feb 9 – 11, 2024
Acer announced the Predator Extreme e-scooter, the latest addition to Acer’s growing line of e-mobility solutions. First showcased at the Taipei Cycle 2023, the new eScooter will now also be available in Europe, Middle East and Africa starting Q2 2024. The Predator Extreme e-scooter was designed to carry the power and performance of an off-road motorbike in its compact iron frame. It features a dual suspension system and rear spring shock absorber for added stability, 960-Watt peak power output, a 40 Nm high torque, 10″ crocodile tires and IPX5, giving riders the freedom to explore various terrains.
For thrill-seekers, the Predator Extreme’s forward-facing stance design and low center of gravity provide greater maneuverability, and enable travel through steep hills, narrow trails, and downward slopes. The scooter’s sturdy build also allows riders to do stunts like wheelies, jumps, curb hops, and more, while urban commuters can seamlessly switch between its 6 kph, 15 kph, and up to 25 kph speed modes to travel freely across the city and veer through offroad spaces.
The Predator Extreme e-scooter has a replaceable 10.5ah/36V lithium-ion battery that significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to a motorbike. The battery can be fully charged in just4 hours and can travel up to 35 km with one charge, giving riders greater range and flexibility when going to work, school, or meeting friends.
“As part of Acer’s push towards smart, eco-friendly lifestyles, the Predator Extreme e-scooter brings new levels of fun and mobility to our lineup of sustainable technology,” said Valerie Piau, Associate Vice-President, Acer EMEA. “This year, we are looking to continue expanding the product lineup for off-road electric scooters and bicycles to create a comprehensive range of e-mobility solutions to better serve larger and more diverse user groups.”
