Ausom SR1

What the Ausom SR1 is built for

The Ausom SR1 is an electric kick scooter for short trips and the last mile of a commute.

It has a 2.2 kW peak motor and a top speed of 41 mph (66 km/h).

It carries a 1,082 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 71 miles (114 km) on a charge.

The Ausom SR1 carries up to 287 lb (130 kg) including the rider.

In the United States the Ausom SR1 sells for $1,149, above the median of $530 across 163 electric scooters with a US price, among the premium models. That is $1 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Ausom SR1 may be ridden

Most European countries cap electric scooters at 20 to 25 km/h on public roads; the Ausom SR1's top speed of 41 mph (66 km/h) is above that, so it may be ridden at full speed only on private land there. In the United Kingdom privately owned e-scooters may not yet be ridden on public roads, and Germany requires a type-approved model with an insurance plate.

Ausom SR1 safety certification

The brand's listing for the Ausom SR1 does not state a UL 2272 or EN 17128 certification. New York City allows only e-scooters certified to UL 2272 to be sold or rented there; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
