The 4 Pro is the most premium Pure Electric scooter in the Air lineup and with it, you won’t be asking for too much wanting it to go faster.
Like every other Pure Electric scooter, it has a maximum speed of 25km/h and, understandably, you might want it to go faster.
Sorry to burst your bubble, though, as making the Pure Air 4 Pro scooter faster is more complicated than one might think.
Key Factors To Consider
The Pure Air 4 Pro Has A Software Speed Limitation
Contrary to most electric scooters where owners simply need to cut the speed-limiting cable or upgrade the scooter’s firmware, that’s impossible to do for the Pure Air 4 Pro.
This e-scooter comes with an internal controller speed limiting regulation, which means you can’t hit more than 15.5 Miles Per Hour even when going downhill.
The primary reason why Pure Electric caps the speed at that is to comply with the local E-scooter rules in the UK.
The Motor Peak Output Is Too Low
The Air 4 Pro produces a peak power output of just 710W.
With such power, it’s impossible to get the scooter going faster especially considering that the battery has a capacity of just 37V 9.6Ah.
For an e-scooter to go fast, it needs a high power output, a huge battery capacity, and an advanced Battery Management System.
Upgrading The Motor, Battery, and Controller Can Make You Go Faster
If you are electrically inclined, budget isn’t a problem, and you love this scooter’s design, you can opt to maintain the shell and buy other components on sites such as AliExpress.
Unfortunately, this will be an expensive affair and could actually drive the price of buying the scooter plus the new components to twice the price of that ride.
The motor, battery, and controller you choose should also be able to fit under the scooter’s deck. That may be daunting because a more powerful motor, battery and controller will be bigger to find in the stipulated compartments.
2 Risks While Modding Your Pure Air 4 Pro Electric Scooter To Hack Its Speed
When you cut off cables or decide to swap out the components of your Pure Air 4 Pro electric scooter, these here are the dangers you need to consider:
- You will void your warranty after opening under the deck without Pure Electric’s knowledge.
- It is possible to cause an electric scooter fire if you aren’t electrically inclined. Connecting the cables wrongly might lead to frying the components; thus, increasing the risk of a fire
