We saw the awesome Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter at Computex 2023 – take our money now!

Granted, e-scooters have been around for awhile in various incarnations and they do appear in limited numbers in Malaysia via specialist dealers or as a last mile rental option by eBeam but when a popular maker of gaming laptops known for absurdly good performance to price ratios decides to make an e-scooter, you know you’re in for something exciting – enter the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter.

What is the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter

Showcased at their separate pavilion away from their Computex 2023 booth where they can demonstrate their more unusual offerings like air purifiers and e-scooters in a larger area, the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter manages to draw the eye in with its aggressive silhouette and matte black finish amidst its other e-scooter offerings with plain white paint jobs.

Up close, the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter looks impressive with a steel framework, hefty dual suspension system and hydraulic brake system along with a design that is quoted to offer the power and performance of an off-road bike. In demonstrations, a practiced expert managed to adroitly steer around crowds and bank tight corners without a hitch.

According to Acer, it’s able to tackle stunts like wheelies and jumps too thanks to its robust construction. It’s also quoted to be able to go up to 16-degree gradients. Needless to say, this may be a bit overpowered for a short sprint to the supermarket and back but you’ll certainly be able to do it in style with a surfeit of power to boot.

Controlling speeds is via a selectable thumb toggle on the right handlebar that allows for three speeds with a sedate 6km/h Eco mode, a slightly faster 15km/h standard mode and a maximum 25km/h Sports mode. Running under the hood of the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter is a 700W motor capable of offering 29 Nm torque while a replaceable 7.5ah/36V lithium-ion battery allows it to go a maximum of 22 km per charge and tote a maximum 100 kg payload at speed. Charging it to full from dead zero requires about 3.5 hours.

There’s no word on price or availability yet for the Acer Predator Extreme e-scooter as it’s still a concept design and there’s non official word yet if any of Acer’s e-scooters, much less the Predator Extreme will make it to Malaysia but one can hope.
