Unfold, open the throttle and you're there. The RED6 85 Sparrow is a folding electric scooter with a 350 W front-wheel motor and a 281 Wh battery, good for 15 to 25 kilometres per charge according to the manufacturer. You ride on the throttle up to 25 km/h and then fold up the 15.4 kg scooter for the train, the car or the office.

Riding and controls

The motor sits in the front wheel and pulls you smoothly away from a standstill. You control the power yourself with the thumb throttle, and you choose from 3 power modes, from taking it easy along the high street to riding briskly on a wide path. The display keeps track of your speed, distance and battery level.

Battery and charging

The battery delivers 36 volts at 7.8 Ah, 281 Wh in total, and is safely integrated in the frame. A full charge takes about 5 hours. You fold up the scooter, put it indoors near a socket in the hallway, the utility cupboard or under your desk, and charge it at room temperature. You can top up at any time.

Brakes and wheels

The scooter brakes with a disc brake, which gives a short braking distance with little hand force. Front and rear lights are included, so you are visible in the dark. The aluminium frame carries up to 120 kg.

Folding and taking it with you

Unfolded, the Sparrow measures 118 x 109 x 47 cm, and once folded it lies flat. At 15.4 kg you can lift it yourself into a car boot, onto a platform or up the stairs.
