The Beast D Off-Road Scooter
Are we really at a point that we can call electric, solar-powered scooters The Beast? Daymak thinks so. Their line of (mostly) street-legal eBikes designed for off-road use all carry the formidable name. The Beast D, the only one of the 4 bikes designated exclusively for the off-road, even almost looks the part with its big bad 21" x 7" x 10" tires and Mad Max aesthetics. Almost. I just can't give it full clearance with those solar panels running along the bottom.
Daymak sought to create its Beasts tough and rugged like an ATV, ready to tackle hills, trails, and rough terrain, despite being a scooter...with a battery...and solar panels...at heart. Check out the rest of The Beast D specs, and see if you think they may have succeeded:
- Motor: 2 x 500W BLDC
- Top Speed: 31 mph
- Degrees of Incline: 36
- Range: Up to 18.6 miles
- Battery: 60V20AH Lithium
- Battery Life Cycles: 800
- Solar Panel Output: 15W
- Charge Time: 4 to 6 hours
