Nanrobot LS7+ review: This 70 mph electric scooter is absolutely insane

This one isn't for Retrofit Relay's usual territory of insulation and heat pumps, but here's the gist: it's a review of a very fast, very powerful electric scooter called the Nanrobot LS7+, priced at $2,299.

The scooter has two motors totaling 6,000 watts of power (with brief bursts up to 10,000 watts) and a claimed top speed of about 74.5 mph, though the maker says real-world riding tops out closer to 58-65 mph. It weighs about 119 pounds, so it's not something you'd carry up stairs, and it's built more like a small electric motorcycle than a typical commuter scooter. It comes with hydraulic suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a steering damper to help keep it stable at speed. A large battery (2.52 kWh) gives a claimed range up to 81 miles, though that number drops fast if you actually use the scooter's speed and power.

The reviewer is blunt that this is not a beginner scooter and is probably more machine than most riders need. Depending on where you live, a scooter this fast may not even be legal to ride on public roads, so anyone curious would need to check local rules. The reviewer suggests it makes more sense as an off-road recreational vehicle for experienced riders with private property than as a everyday commuter option.
