Pure Air Pro electric scooter deals
2 minute review
Since electric scooters are a fairly new technology, some people can feel a bit unsafe while riding them, which is probably why Pure created the Air Pro electric scooter - it seems like it was built for people who might not otherwise know about it. they would feel safe with cars. . It's not the newest electric scooter from Pure, and the Pure Air Pro (XNUMX) brings some key improvements to this XNUMX model, like lower cost. If you are looking for a new scooter, this is clearly a more tempting purchase. There is also an entry-level non-Pro version of Go in generation XNUMX. Pure is one of the largest sellers of electric scooters and electric bikes in the UK, and Air Pro (XNUMX) was the first scooter to launch under its name. With that being said, it feels like this scooter was built on the lessons learned from all the great scooters that have come out to date. The Pure Air Pro is built tough: it's IP-rated XNUMX to protect against water and dust, it's made of durable materials to move smoothly and it's easy to fold so it's easy to carry. be transportable, although it is worth saying that it is quite heavy, so it will not necessarily be easy to transport for everyone. The Air Pro drives very well, though: its acceleration is smooth so you'll never get out of green lights, the brakes are strong enough to stop quickly, and its suspension prevents you from being jolted while driving. Truly, this is one of the smoothest rides we've ever tested.
Pure Air Pro (Image credit: Future) The main downside of the Pure Air Pro is that it costs a bit more than some competing cars, like Xiaomi, so the cost can be quite hard for newbies to swallow. However, this money gives you calm at the time of travel, which is quite difficult to assess. Some may find the battery life a bit slow since it's smaller than average, but not everyone will mind, especially since it takes about half the charging time as most of its contenders. Overall the Pure Air Pro feels like a great entry level scooter because it meets all legal requirements, will last you a long time, and feels sturdy and comfortable to ride.
Pure Air Pro price and release date
The Pure Air Pro retailed for €365 (around €02 / AU €XNUMX) when it went on sale in early August XNUMX, but is now you can pick it up for €XNUMX (around €XNUMX, AU$XNUMX) at Pure's site. At this price, the Pure Air Pro is more or less in the mid-price category of electric scooters. It costs about the same as the best Ninebot Segway scooter and is a bit more expensive than the Xiaomi MXNUMX Pro ($XNUMX, or around $XNUMX / AU$XNUMX) and the SoFlow SXNUMX (€XNUMX, or around €XNUMX / AU$XNUMX). If you want the safety and reliability of the Pure Air Pro but the cost is too high for you, it's worth noting that Pure has confirmed to TechRadar that a non-Pro cousin is coming soon, so it might be worth your while. Wait.
Integrated
(Image credit: Avenir) The Pure Air Pro is a fairly conventionally designed electric scooter. It comes in 2 colors, gray and black, and we tested the former. The scooter has dimensions of XNUMX cm x XNUMX cm x XNUMX cm, which makes it big enough but easy enough to have a safe seat. Is the handlebar at the right height as well? The board has a maximum weight of XNUMXkg which should accommodate most people such as heavy backpacks. At the bottom of the board is the charging port and kickstand; it's fairly simple to open by sliding it to the side and it holds the scooter well. The board also has a sticker. The Pure Air Pro has XNUMX-inch diameter wheels, a bit larger than the average XNUMX-inch, making them a little better for uneven or cobbled floors, and they're air-filled rather than solid, which means you won't. Don't feel each and every bump in the road. Pure highlighted the waterproofing of the Air Pro, which can be essential for scootering in wet weather. The entire vehicle has an IP-sixty-five rating, which indicates that it is totally dustproof and protected against low-pressure water jets from all angles, and the interior of the thing is developed to be as waterproof as possible.
(Image credit: Avenir) In fact, the technology à l'intérieur du scooter can replace the main one, where if your batterie falls into panne or if you should change it, you can do it without sending it. scooter (si vous vous en sentez capable, of course). The bars are fairly medium in size, as we stated, and wide enough to be comfortable to hold. On the left bar is the bell and on the right is the screen that you use to monitor the settings of the scooter. The screen has 3 buttons: one turns the lights on and off, another changes the riding mode, the last one turns the scooter on and off (and can also be used to change the distance traveled). The screen is backlit which should help people move around at night. Under the screen is the button you press to drive; It's a bit smaller than other scooters we've tested so people who have used other scooters might be a bit smaller to get used to, but we didn't have a problem with that. The Pure Air Pro has one light at the front and one at the back, plus reflectors on both sides. In short, it's trimmed down enough to make sure it's noticeable when driving after dark.
Portability
Pure Air Pro (Image credit: Future) You can fold the Pure Air Pro using a latch on the front, with a snap on the rear wheel that lets you hold it folded. This allows you to take it on public transport or reduce its size so that you can put it at home. The folded dimensions are XNUMX cm x XNUMX cm x XNUMX cm, making it a bit shorter when folded but not small. However, at XNUMXkg the scooter is very heavy as most scooters weigh between XNUMX and XNUMXkg and we also imagine that some will find it quite difficult to transport when folded. In fact, unless you are looking at a high-end scooter (as they often have huge batteries and motors), this could be one of the heavier scooters you consider. Suffice to say that using this with some frequency is going to be a workout. Also, there is nowhere on the scooter where you can easily put a lock so it can be dangerous to leave it out depending on where you live.
The battery
As with all electric scooters, the time between charges of the Pure Air Pro really depends on how fast you ride, and faster speeds will discharge the battery faster. Pure estimates that in "Eco" perfect mode, the slowest perfect mode you can travel in (which we'll describe in more detail later), you'll be able to travel around XNUMX miles, but in perfect mode faster you see thirty miles. km or less. . Battery life depends on more factors than speed, like hills and how often you stop, but these estimates are based on a flat plane.
Pure Air Pro (Image credit: Future) We're happy with the Eco mode number as the battery was still pretty powerful at this speed, but when we were going as fast as we could go, power dropped pretty quickly. In fact, we'll agree that you'll need to be savvy enough with your driving to last even 4km in this mode. Depending on your commutes and commutes, the distance between XNUMX and XNUMX miles can be contentious, and if you only need to travel XNUMX miles or less on a daily basis, you'll find the Pure Air Pro perfectly suited. However, this might not be suitable for those who try to cover long distances on a regular basis, and there are other scooters that last longer. If the somewhat low battery life bothers you, the charging speed may make up for it somewhat, as the Pure claims it will power up in just XNUMX XNUMX/XNUMX hours, that's about half the time of most. the other scooters are slow to turn on. Therefore, you won't need to keep this beast energized throughout the night every time you want to use it, as a quick streak before and after your entry will suffice. A power cable is included with the scooter that connects to the vehicle's plate; it is very simple to install.
Horse riding
The Pure Air Pro has 3 drive modes: Eco, which gets you to fifteen km / h (ninety three mph) and conserves the longest battery, Mid, which goes up to twenty km / h (one hundred twenty four mph) and High, which gets you to the maximum scooter speeds of twenty five km / h (fifteen, 5 mph) mph), which is likewise the legal limit for scooters in the UK.
Pure Air Pro (Image credit: Future) Well, you can go over XNUMXmph on inclines depending on gravity, but the scooter isn't going to help you get there, so it's still legal. This top speed is lower than the top speed of other scooters, but since UK law prohibits the fastest scooters (unless you're on private property), it makes sense for Pure to set a strict limit. On quieter streets the mid is perfect, but when driving on busier roads you'll need to shift up to keep up with runners and traffic. We're not sure which Eco is best for any type of setting, unless you're looking for a particularly laid-back pace. The Pure Air Pro is more fun to ride than some other scooters we've tested, so you can feel a lot more confident on the road. One would accept that this was a result of the air-filled tires, the robust construction. and a just suspension as well. Acceleration on the Pure Air Pro is slower than other scooters, but that's a good thing, as fast acceleration at the start can be really dangerous - it's quite difficult to hold control when pulling towards it. Before after staying still. Thanks to the slower acceleration, we always felt confident starting from scratch or just speeding on straighter sections of road. You have to give it a few kicks before the throttle will work, as with all scooters, and it can be scary on a busy road. The minimum speed for this to work on the Air Pro is pretty low though, so you won't find yourself kicking too much before you set off. The brake was very safe and when we applied it we stopped quite quickly, but it was perhaps less useful as a tool to modulate speeds, since we had to push it in enough for it to work. We found it was easier to take your finger off the throttle early to slow down, rather than hit the brake close to where you needed to stop. We were impressed with the sound of...
