Electric scooter giant Pure Electric has launched a long-range variant of its excellent Pure Air Pro model.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

British electric scooter brand Pure Electric has launched a long-range follow-up to its impressive Pure Air Pro model, dubbed the Pure Air Pro LR.

Alongside range and performance improvements come some marked visual upgrades over its predecessor, not least the addition of a birch and maple plywood deck, which Pure Electric says has been engineered to provide a more secure standing platform for riders.

This swanky new deck has also been treated to withstand everyday weather, including rainfall, while puncture-resistant tyres with puncture prevention fluid should ensure youre able to keep riding for as long as possible.

As for just how long that ride will last, Pure Electric says the Pro LR will boast a maximum range of 60km on a single charge that's 10km more than youll get from the standard Pure Air Pro, though functional range of scooters often depends on the speed you're traveling at.

Thats based on an upgraded version of its 500W motor, which offers three
power modes, giving a potential of 700W to deliver competent hill climbing speeds and acceleration. Speed and style

Youll look great while climbing those hills, too. The Pro LR comes in the brands three new colour options Mercury Grey, Cobalt Blue, Stone Gol which are also now available for its sibling, the Pure Air Pro.

Those colours arent anything ground-breaking, but coupled with the Pro LRs high quality, durable steel frame (which boasts a 120kg load limit), the design of the scooter is stylishly minimalist making it an appropriate
option for both work and leisure. (Image credit: Pure Electric)

As for other useful features, the Pro LR sports a handlebar-mounted USB smartphone charge port for, well, charging your phone, while a premium click-lock advanced locking mechanism keeps the scooter as secure as possible when stationary. These are both features of the non-LR model too.

The Pure Electric Pro LR is available to pre-order from August 4 at the
brands website , and will retail for 749 in all colours. For comparison,
thats 149 pricier than its sibling (which retails for 599).

Well have to wait until we get our hands on the new Pro LR model to determine whether that increase is worth it but given the incremental upgrades weve come to expect from each iteration of Pure Electrics excellent flagship scooter range, we anticipate this one will be no different.
