Apart from durability, the Micro Explorer also boasts impressive specs. The motor has a power of up to 500W and can reach speeds of up to 30km/h, but depending on the local regulations, its speed is limited to be street-legal (20 km/h or 25km/h) and comply with regulations. The 280Wh battery lasts for up to 30km and can be charged in just 3.5 hours. Instead of a thumb-throttle like most e-scooters have, the Explorer features a twist grip which is similar to a motorbike and more intuitive, accurate and fun to use than a thumb-throttle. By turning it forward, it only uses the kinetic energy recovery system to brake and recharges the battery at the same time.

For more comfort, the Explorer has a front and rear suspension that can be adjusted according to the rider’s weight and preferences. This way, full rubber wheels can be used instead of air tires; they have lower rolling resistance and therefore increase energy efficiency, and are also lower maintenance. This e-scooter has four different riding modes that can be changed on the built-in display or on the Micro app: pedestrian (250W, 6km/h), eco (300W, 20km/h), standard (400W, 20km/h) and sport (500W, max. speed country-specific). The brand new Micro App not only lets you change the riding mode, it also displays the total distance traveled, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride time, among other things. The app also features a diagnostics mode that improves after sales service and contributes to the e-scooter’s longevity. In addition, the scooter can be locked with the app which acts as a second protection against thieves together with the Micro lock that can be purchased as an accessory to the Explorer.

Although it is comfortable and high-powered, the Explorer remains compact and foldable, thanks to its telescopic T-bar and foldable handles. Despite its power, it is still light, weighing only 13.5kg and can be perfectly combined with other modes of transport like cars, trains, metro and buses.
