Making a segue from Bator’s Classic Bike Auction and the World Vet Championships, Tucker Powersports, a leader in electric powered adventure products, has expanded its ePower portfolio with five new products from Segway. Ranging from a $200 scooter for kids to a full-grown people mover, Tucker dealers should be receiving Segway products now. The products include a moped/electric bike, a scooter, updated versions of the original Segway device for both adults and children and a go kart.
"Our partnership with Segway gives us access to a wonderful range of products for both kids and adults" said Jamie Kempinski, Tucker’s Director of Business Development. "Early orders from dealers indicate that they are extremely excited to have these units in their dealerships."
Segway's iconic self-balancing, stand-up device for adults, the S Max, features two brushless, DC hub motors, an air-cooled battery pack, LED lights, an adjustable control bar and adjustable speed controls. The S Max integrates with a mobile app which assists with rider training, adjusting the LED lights, and monitoring battery and mileage. The S Kids version comes with three different riding modes, non-slip, maintenance-free tires, LED lights, and it also integrates with a mobile app. Most kids learn to ride in about three minutes with the aid of the mobile app. The S Kids will travel eight miles at up to 8.7 MPH.
An equally fun approach for kids is the eKickscooter Zing A6, which features three different riding speeds, lights, a rear brake, and thermo plastic rubber grips. It's lightweight, easy to disassemble for transport and has a range of more than three miles.
For customers interested in making their commute more fun, Tucker offers a moped-styled Class 2 e-bike called the eMoped C-80. It's available in four colors and comes with an intelligent management system that includes functions like Airlock System, NFC Tag, Smart Seat Detection and Auto-Lock mode. Its small size makes it perfect for travel to an office or home and it's compact, so it fits in an elevator. It also has a removable battery that can be swapped for one that's fully charged. The eMoped's range of 47 miles easily covers the distance of a typical commute.
Also new to the Tucker offering from Segway is the Go-Kart Pro, an electric powered cart with four driving modes which makes it appropriate for beginners to professionals. Designed in partnership with a professional go kart racer, the vehicle has a custom high-end, brushless motor with pure copper coil, low internal resistance, reduced heat generation and electricity loss. It comes equipped with special drifting TPE tires. Drivers can choose from four driving modes: Safety, Regular, Sports and Race.
