After going through more than 5,000 hours of extreme weather testing, Ford-owned company Spin is ready to introduce their new flagship e-scooter – the Spin S-100T. It’s tough, fast, and ready to withstand the “rigors of the city.”
As Spin puts it, the “T” in S-100T stands for tough. Custom designed by the brand’s in-house team, the seventh generation was tested to handle anything the city will throw at it. Fresh off the line, this e-scooter has been through a lot. It went through 149°F (65°C) heat, -4°F (-20°C) cold, high and low humidity, and even saltwater fog.
Its 500W motor took a bath in saltwater then was run at 1,000 rpm for up to 1,000 times. I guess it’s safe to say that it survived the salty adventure and functioned properly after. After withstanding more than 400 different safety and durability tests, the S-100T is ready to face the unexpected.
The new e-scooter features a triple braking system which includes a stomp brake, a front-wheel drum brake, and a rear-wheel regenerative motor braking system. Together, these allow the vehicle to stop in less than 15 ft (4.5 meters).
Much like a car, it has a bright 270-degree tail light which lets other traffic participants see you from 600 ft (183 meters) away. As far as lighting systems go, it also comes with a 360-degree status light ring wrapped around the display that shows other riders if the scooter can be rented or not.
Spec-wise, the S-100T is equipped with a 576Wh custom swappable battery that gives it enough juice for a 30-mile (96.5 km) range. Spin aims to achieve a 15-minute zero-emission solution for citizens by exceeding the 284-day environmental neutrality target.
The S-100T will join Spin’s electrified family, the original S-100, the three-wheeler S-200, and an S-300 e-bike. According to the Ford-owned brand, the new scooter will be launched in Sacramento this summer before rolling out across the U.S. later this year.
