A new model of Taiwanese scooter giant KYMCO's latest electric scooter, the Like 125 EV, has just been announced. It will soon be available in the European market at a great price.
As an affordable, low-power commuter, KYMCO's Like scooters are popular in Europe. KYMCO has just announced an updated model of its Like 125 EV electric scooter for 2022.
Scooters are powered by 3.2 kW motors and offer 4.3 horsepower. Even though 124 Nm (91 ft-lbs) of torque may not sound like much, electric scooters still require less power
Kymco's Ionex batteries can be swapped under the seat, where two of the battery packs power the scooter. Each of the batteries is rated at just 50V and 13Ah, or 650Wh.
Those batteries are used in many electric bicycles today. At around 5 kg (11 lb) each, the small size keeps the batteries light and portable. It even has an extra battery trick up its sleeve.
In addition to the removable batteries, the scooter has a built-in battery that remains in the unit so owners can still take the scooter for a ride if both are being charged.
The 550 Wh built-in battery should still be able to provide enough power for a short local trip while the removable batteries are on charge. There is a 27L storage compartment under the seat.
