A commuter e-scooter with a 1200W peak motor, up to 85 km of range on a 48V 18.2Ah battery and 10-inch urban tyres — ENGWE’s value entry point.
Best for
A city commuter who wants a straightforward, good-range e-scooter without paying for dual motors.
Overview
The Y700 is ENGWE’s value commuter scooter. A brushless rear-hub motor peaks at 1200W and pulls to a 25 km/h top speed across four assist levels, while a 48V 18.2Ah battery stretches to around 85 km of range. It kick-starts from about 3 km/h, holds speed with a hold-the-throttle cruise control, and rides on 10 × 3.0-inch urban tyres with a mechanical disc brake and an IPX5 weather rating. It carries up to 120 kg and climbs 20° inclines. At its price it is the easiest way into ENGWE’s range for a daily city commute.

FAQs
How far does it go on a charge?
ENGWE rates the Y700 at up to 85 km from its 48V 18.2Ah battery; real range depends on rider weight, terrain and assist level.
How is it different from the Y1000?
The Y700 has a single rear-hub motor and a mechanical disc brake; the Y1000 steps up to dual motors, a bigger 52V battery and hydraulic brakes.
Is it weatherproof?
It carries an IPX5 rating, so it handles rain splashes, though like any scooter it should not be submerged.
