Mobility in modern cities is changing rapidly, and Acer is now positioning itself even more clearly in the field of high-performance e-mobility with its gaming brand Predator. With the launch of the Predator ES Storm Pro (model PES016), the company is expanding its portfolio with a model designed specifically for demanding urban environments. The e-scooter promises a combination of robust hardware, intelligent software connectivity and the striking design that technology enthusiasts are already familiar with from the manufacturer’s high-end PCs.
- Enormous power reserves: A 500 W rear hub motor delivers up to 1,200 W at peak times for superior acceleration.
- Long range: Thanks to the efficient 48 V system, you can cover up to 60 kilometers on a single charge.
- Intelligent safety: Integrated traction control and a regenerative braking system (KERS) ensure stability and energy recovery.
Performance and riding comfort on any surface
The Predator ES Storm Pro was developed to bridge the gap between compact last-mile scooters and powerful commuter vehicles. At its heart is the rear-wheel drive, which, with a rated output of 500 W and an impressive peak output of 1,200 W, can effortlessly tackle inclines and difficult surfaces. The 48 V electric system is designed for consistency, so that the speed remains stable even when the battery level drops. Users can choose between different riding modes to either get the maximum performance or prioritize efficiency for particularly long journeys. The latter enables a range of up to 60 kilometers, which also makes the scooter interesting for commuters who want to cover longer distances without charging every day.
Acer relies on a combination of technical finesse and robust construction to ensure that the power gets safely onto the road. The scooter rolls on 10-inch (25.4 cm) tubeless tires which, together with front and rear suspension, effectively absorb impacts from cobblestones or uneven paths. A novelty in this price class is the integrated traction control system, which prevents the rear from swerving, especially on wet roads. The necessary deceleration is provided by a disc brake on the rear wheel, which is supplemented by electronic ABS (eABS). Particularly clever: the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) feeds energy back into the battery when braking, which noticeably increases overall efficiency in city traffic.
Smart features and sophisticated design
Today, a modern means of transportation is no longer defined solely by its engine, but also by its connectivity. The Predator ES Storm Pro can be seamlessly connected to the Acer eMobility app. Detailed journey statistics can be called up via the smartphone display, the vehicle status can be checked and the remaining range can be read off precisely. The app also serves as a digital control center that can be used to customize settings such as the lighting effects. An electronic locking function that prevents unauthorized driving ensures everyday safety. Acer has also integrated a holder for smart tags so that users can discreetly attach tracking accessories such as Apple AirTags in order to be able to locate their vehicle at any time in the event of loss.
The scooter also remains true to the Predator line visually. RGB lighting elements not only provide the typical gaming look, but also significantly increase visibility in traffic at night. Clear light signals when braking or turning indicate every maneuver to other road users at an early stage. Despite the solid construction with a sturdy aluminum frame, comfort does not fall by the wayside: the folding mechanism allows the scooter to be stored in a space-saving manner on the train or in the office. With an IPX5 protection class, the vehicle is also protected against water jets, which makes riding in light rain unproblematic.
Conclusion
With the Predator ES Storm Pro, Acer provides a strong argument for the switch to electric micro vehicles. The combination of high motor power, smart app control and innovative safety features such as traction control makes it a serious option for technology enthusiasts and commuters alike. The Predator ES Storm Pro will be available from the first quarter of 2026 at a recommended retail price of €649.00. In view of the features on offer, Acer is positioning itself extremely competitively in the premium e-scooter segment.
