Description

The Solar P1 4.0 is a folding dual-motor scooter with a 52 V, 18.2 Ah battery; 52 V nominal times 18.2 Ah gives 946 Wh. It has two 1,200 W hub motors that the page labels 2,400 W and 3 kW peak, with a handlebar switch between one and both motors, and no rated output is printed.

It has mechanical disc brakes front and rear with regenerative braking, front and rear spring suspension and 10-inch self-healing tires. The maker gives 55 lb and a 330 lb maximum load, and claims 40 mph in Sport mode, 15 mph in Eco mode and 30 to 38 miles of range.

It has an LED headlight, a rear brake light, NFC keyless start, an alarm with key fob and an LCD display; the page rates it IP54 in its spec table and IP64 in its header.

The listing sells it at $999.99 without deck lights and at $1,259.99 with Tron deck lights in cyan, green, red or purple; the seat versions at $1,359.99 to $1,399.99 are sold out. A padded seat with pole sells separately for $79.99, and a 52V replacement battery for $490.00.

The listing still uses the P1 3.0 web address, and its pack and motors are shared with the Revon H1, which differs in styling, split rims and a 60 lb weight.
