Performance
2 x 7.5 Ah Dual Batteries
Among scooters currently in the market, the V8 is a standout performer. This model features two battery slots, one in the deck and one in the stem. Both these batteries have a 7.5 Ah rating. The TurboAnt V8 battery located in the scooter's stem is removable, allowing you to swap low batteries for charged ones during rides. These dual batteries make the V8 the ideal scooter for longer-distance rides, as they give you more hours of riding time.
You might be considering how many hours it takes to charge both batteries when they run down. The V8 electric scooter has one of the fastest charging times of scooters in the market now, with a compressed charging time of 4 hours.
Wow! That is so great, right? TurboAnt designed this scooter so that you can charge both batteries simultaneously, ensuring you are back on the road in a short time and doesn’t leave you stranded.

450 W Brushless Motor + 20 mph Maximum Speed + 275 lb. Load Capacity
The TurboAnt's V8 electric scooter also comes with a 450 W brushless motor, an upgrade on the 350 W found in earlier models. This power propels the scooter, helping you easily reach and maintain a top speed of 20 mph. Are you looking for an electric scooter to take you to your destination as quickly as possible?

Design
Foldable and Portable
The TurboAnt brand always considers durability, comfort, and portability when designing their electric scooters, and the V8 model is no different. This model is more portable than its predecessors. If you are in a hurry, you can fold this scooter in 3 seconds. It also comes with a mechanism that allows you to unfold it safely and securely in a short time. Furthermore, this mechanism locks the stem in place, making rides safer.
Size and Weight
Here is more to its marvelous design. Besides, the TurboAnt V8 electric scooter is very portable, with an unfolded size of 45.7 x 19.9 x 45.5 inches. This dimension means you can stand with this scooter on a mode of public transport without inconveniencing other commuters. However, it gets smaller when folded, with a dimension of 45.7 x 19.9 x 18.1 inches.
What does this mean? The smaller size does not take up too much space in storage, allowing you to store and charge the V8 in tight spaces such as under your office desks. You can also store this TurboAnt V8 folding electric scooter in the backseat of your car.

Dual-Spring Rear Suspension
Another feature of this new release that provides optimal comfort during rides is its dual-spring rear suspension. It comes with back springs, making scaling potholes, bumps, and other unpleasant road conditions easier. With this feature and the pneumatic tires, you enjoy your rides irrespective of the nature and type of road you are riding on.
Wide, Spacious Deck
Slips are a common accident when riding scooters because some scooters have decks with very little space. With the V8 TurboAnt scooter, you get a wide, spacious deck with anti-skid boards that allows you to place both feet on and glue them in place. This helps improve your balance during rides, preventing mishaps such as slips. Another feature that enhances balance on this scooter is the wider handlebar.
