The Kingsong E1 features a 350W nominal motor, capable of delivering up to 500–550W peak power. This allows it to reach 20–25 km/h depending on the version (legal limit in Europe) and to climb inclines of 8°/14%.
The 37V – 7.8Ah lithium battery provides approximately 25 km of range under normal conditions. A full charge takes 4–6 hours, making it convenient for recharging between classes or overnight.
Weighing 16.5 kg, the E1 remains portable by hand. Its aluminum frame ensures rigidity and resistance to minor everyday impacts. The three-step folding system reduces its footprint for easy storage.
The scooter combines a rear drum brake and an electronic E-ABS brake at the front, for smooth stops. Front/rear LED lighting and integrated turn signals improve visibility in the city.
The Kingsong app allows you to electronically lock the scooter, monitor battery status via the BMS, and change riding modes. The central dashboard displays speed, mode, battery level, and turn signal indicators.
The ideal electric scooter for students
With its 37V – 7.8 Ah battery, the Kingsong E1 offers up to 25 km of range in ideal conditions (flat terrain, 70 kg, eco mode).
For typical student use (6–8 km round-trip journeys, frequent stops, varied weather), it has a range of 18–22 km before no need to recharge.
The original charger recharges the battery in 4 to 6 hours.
A student can therefore:
plug it in at night and find it full in the morning,
or recharge it on campus/office for an afternoon.
Optimization Tips
- Avoid frequent deep discharges to extend battery life.
- Recharge partially (30 → 80%) if you make several trips during the day.
- Check the battery status via the Kingsong app (built-in BMS).
Weighing 16.5 kg, the E1 can be carried by hand when climbing stairs or crossing a hall without an elevator.
The three-step folding process takes just a few seconds, making it convenient for catching a bus or storing quickly.
Once folded, the scooter takes up little space: it fits in a bus aisle, on a subway landing, or in a car trunk. Its handlebars remain locked to prevent it from opening while traveling.
In a studio apartment or student room, it fits easily behind a door or under a desk. The absence of exposed external cables reduces the risk of snagging.
The Kingsong E1 is available in a restricted version (for legal compliance in France) .
