Acer, a technology business, has expanded its e-mobility portfolio with the introduction of the Predator ES Storm Pro, a new electric scooter designed for city riding.

The company made the announcement during the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, United States.

According to Acer, the Predator ES Storm Pro is designed for urban riders, with a 500W motor (up to 1200W peak), a long range of up to 60-65 kilometres, complete suspension, and 'traction control for confident city riding.'

It is designed for everyday use and includes a folding, water-resistant frame, smart app connectivity with automatic locking, regenerative braking, and Predator RGB lighting, the company said in statement.

It went on to say: “The Predator ES Storm Pro is designed for riders who frequently cover longer or more demanding routes, including paths with mixed surfaces.

“It uses a 500 W rear hub motor with peak output of up to 1200 W and a 48 V electrical system to support quick acceleration and consistent speed across varied terrain. Multiple riding modes allow users to adjust responsiveness and prioritize either performance or efficiency.

“For enhanced control on wet or uneven roads, the e-scooter combines a traction control system with 10-inch tubeless tires, front and rear suspension for improved stability, and a rear disc brake with eABS.

“This maintains stable road contact and provides reliable braking in busy city settings. The foldable aluminium frame balances riding stability and portability and folds for carrying over short distances or for storage in compact spaces at home, at work, or on public transport. It is rated IPX5 for water resistance.”
