Designed for urban riders, the model uses removable batteries for home charging.

Overview

  • The LS1 is priced at €5,185 in Germany with €100 deposits, with deliveries planned for the second half of December 2025.
  • A centrally mounted 8.4 kW motor targets roughly 100 km/h top speed and comes with ABS and traction control.
  • Two removable 1.86 kWh batteries are standard, with an optional third module raising range from about 115 km to as much as 166–170 km.
  • Charging takes about 4.5 hours from 0–90% on the 800 W onboard charger, while an optional 1,500 W unit cuts 20–80% to roughly 1.75 hours.
  • Coverage notes active anti-theft torque pulses that lock the rear wheel on unauthorized movement, and reports differ on torque figures (51 Nm at the motor vs. 240 Nm at the wheel).
