250-Watt BLDC Motor, Range and Top Speed
The Ekotejas Axel Pro is powered by a 250-watt BLDC (Brushless DC) hub motor. This motor operates on a 48V or 60V battery system, with various battery options including lead-acid and lithium-ion types, enabling ranges from about 44 km to as much as 100 km depending on the battery variant chosen.
The scooter also uses a 12-tube controller that manages the power delivery smoothly across three-speed modes, offering up to 25 km/h top speed. The motor provides efficient torque suited for city commuting with low maintenance due to its hub motor design.
Battery and Charging
The charging time for the Ekotejas Axel Pro electric scooter varies depending on the battery type. It takes around about 4 to 5 hours for fully charge using lead-acid batteries (48V or 60V, typically 28Ah).
For lithium-ion batteries (48V or 60V, ranging from 24Ah to 30Ah), the charging time is faster, typically between 3 to 4 hours.
10-inch Alloy Wheels with Disc + Drum Brakes
The Ekotejas Axel Pro electric scooter comes with 10-inch tubeless alloy wheels for both the front and rear. The tire size commonly used is 90/100-10 for both wheels.
The Ekotejas Axel Pro electric scooter is equipped with a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. The front disc brake provides effective stopping power for safety in city traffic, while the rear drum brake complements it with reliable braking performance.
The scooter also features a telescopic front suspension and hydraulic rear suspension, contributing to stability and smooth braking during rides. Overall, the brake setup is well-suited for comfortable and safe urban commuting.
Three Distinct Speed Modes
The Ekotejas Axel Pro electric scooter features three distinct speed modes designed to cater to different riding needs: Eco mode, Sport mode, and Hyper mode.
Eco mode offers the most energy-efficient riding with moderate acceleration and top speed, ideal for maximizing range and smooth urban commuting.
Sport mode increases acceleration and speed for a more responsive ride. Hyper mode unlocks the scooter’s maximum speed potential, which can reach up to about 50 km/h on unlocked versions, though officially for compliance with B certification, the speed is capped around 40 km/h.
Digital Display, Connectivity and Safety Features
The Ekotejas Axel Pro electric scooter offers basic but useful connectivity features for urban riders. It includes a digital LCD display that shows essential riding data like speed, battery level, and mode selection.
The scooter also comes with a USB charging socket rated at 10 watts, allowing riders to conveniently charge their mobile phones or other small devices on the go by placing them in the provided boot space equipped for this purpose.
Additionally, the Axel Pro features a frequency-operated (fob) key for wireless locking, unlocking, and locating the scooter. This fob key enhances convenience and security by allowing keyless operation and easy identification of the scooter in crowded places.
The scooter’s battery system is designed with a safety switch similar to a household MCB to protect battery life and prevent accidental drain when parked for long durations.
However, it does not have advanced connectivity options like GPS or smartphone app integration.
