Acer Gadget Unveils the Predator Extreme E-scooter

Acer Gadget announced the Predator Extreme e-scooter, the latest addition to Acer’s growing line of e-mobility solutions, at the Taipei Cycle 2023. 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, 700-Watt peak power output, a 29 Nm high torque, and 16% incline hill-climbing gradeability, 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 25 kph speed modes to travel freely across the city and veer through tight spaces.
The Predator Extreme e-scooter has a replaceable 7.5ah/36V lithium-ion battery that significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to a motorbike. The battery can be fully charged in just 3.5 hours and can travel up to 22 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 and eKinekt BD 3 (bike desk) bring new levels of fun and mobility to our lineup of sustainable technology,” said Allen Jong, President, Acer Gadget Inc. “This year, we are looking to continue expanding the product lineup for off-road electric scooters to create a comprehensive range of mobility solutions to better serve larger and more diverse user groups.”
eKinekt BD 3 Promotes Productivity and Healthier Lifestyles
Acer Gadget also held a live demonstration of the eKinekt BD 3, the first-ever bike desk to use kinetic energy to power an entire machine. It also relies on the rider’s pedaling energy to charge devices such as laptops and mobile phones when connected. This solution offers a sustainable work model that eliminates the need for electricity to power the machine and encourages an active lifestyle while getting work done. The eKinekt BD 3’s desktop and casing that protects the bike’s components are made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, in line with a commitment to developing innovative solutions that leave a lighter touch on the planet.
Acer Gadget and Xplova Launch Eco-friendly Apparel Line
Acer Gadget and sub-brand Xplova, which focuses on developing cycling peripherals, have launched an eco-friendly apparel line. The new collection consists of apparel and bags made from recycled materials and were designed to help keep cyclists safe and stylish when on the road.
The Acer Revivify bike messenger bag is made entirely from recycled bicycle tire tubes. It is also waterproof, tear and stain-resistant and built to withstand the daily rigors of a commuter’s lifestyle.
The Xplova Iluminación series backpack and sling bag are made with 100% reflective material for maximum visibility when riding or walking at night. The reflective design on the front and back of each bag reflects light from vehicles to help warn drivers of cyclists and pedestrians from as      far as 200 meters away. The bags feature a breathable back panel enabling better airflow during commuting or long-distance travel.
The Xplova Biisafe bicycle helmet features a unique foldable and lightweight design, reducing its size by 45% compared to standard bicycle helmets and making it easy to store or carry for added protection when riding. The Biisafe helmet’s sturdy yet breathable form makes it comfortable to wear during short or long rides and has passed stringent EU and US safety certifications.
