This top speed has consequences for German scooter drivers – because: With its 70 km/h, the KickScooter GT2P cannot be used on public roads. Irrespective of this, the two-wheeler can be kicked and rolled on: private property, company premises or a race track.

Need for Speed

Here are some of the key facts about the speed frenzy of GT2P:

• 90 km range: So much should be in it thanks to the power battery
• 30 percent increase: The scooter should be able to master such an increase
• A powerful battery: With 1,512 watt hours
• disc brakes: These are attached both on the front and on the back. For comparison: E-scooters with less power usually have drum brakes installed.
• Flashing: These signal the other road users in which direction the journey with the KickScooter GT2P continues.
