Acer Predator ES Series 5 Reader-Testers: it’s time to take stock!

For this test, I had the opportunity to travel the streets of Paris with the Acer Predator scooter. An enriching experience which highlights the strengths and some points for improvement for this model. From the start, it impresses with its robustness: the construction is careful with quality materials. This scooter inspires confidence thanks in particular to its wide deck which allows both feet to be placed comfortably. It ensures a stable position even on longer journeys. The integrated turn signals are a real safety asset. This is a particularly valuable point in dense urban traffic like that of Paris. Night lighting is also very practical, as it provides excellent visibility.

Despite the driving stability, the Predator remains quite sensitive to the roughness of the Parisian asphalt. This may be a point to consider for those planning to ride on uneven surfaces like cobblestones or paths. The brakes, on the other hand, are precise and responsive, which is essential for driving in an urban environment. With its 18 kg on the scale, this model favors robustness, but this also results in limited portability. For multimodal use, particularly in public transport, this weight can represent a real challenge. Connectivity-wise, I encountered difficulties using the application. Improvements would be needed to provide a smoother user experience.

Based on my experience, I think that the Acer Predator scooter is primarily aimed at those who prioritize safety and reliability. It shines with its robust design, its well-designed equipment such as the headlight and indicators, and its precise braking performance. If Acer manages to improve vibration filtration and optimize application connectivity, the Predator could establish itself as a must-have for urban journeys.

After three full weeks of use, I can say that this electric scooter has transformed my daily commute. Although I'm not at all handy, assembly and handling were child's play. It was ready to use in less than 10 minutes! In use, I was really surprised by its simple and intuitive side. From the first contact, you immediately perceive that this is a reliable and solid product. Small details, such as the Predator branding and green piping, add a subtle aesthetic touch without being flashy. On the driving side, stability proves to be a major asset: even on slightly uneven roads, I always felt perfectly safe. What I particularly liked was the driving position. Thanks to a relatively high handlebar, comfort is guaranteed, even over long distances. Its maximum speed of 25 km/h is perfect for driving around town. At night, the headlight ensures optimal and reassuring visibility to avoid obstacles. The same goes for the indicators which effectively signal changes of direction in urban traffic.

Special mention for the ultra-precise braking system which consists of a progressive engine brake and a mechanical brake. At no point did I feel like I was losing control. Whether on climbs or on fairly steep slopes (20%), it maintains a constant speed without showing weakness. Acceleration is smooth and jerk-free. In terms of charging, a full charge takes just under 8 hours. The autonomy of the Predator pleasantly surprised me: a single weekly recharge is enough to cover all of my home-work journeys, or around 50 km. This far exceeds the needs of daily use like mine, with trips of 10 km round trip every day. No longer having to worry about the battery offers real everyday comfort.

As a city dweller, the weight and folding of the scooter were important criteria for me. With its 18 kg, I can easily fold it and carry it on public transport or store it under my desk. The folding mechanism is ultra-fast and intuitive. In summary, this scooter has everything you need to simplify everyday life. It is robust, efficient, easy to transport and offers impressive autonomy. I can only recommend it!

To summarize

For several weeks, our readers evaluated the Acer Predator ES Series 5 electric scooter through their daily trips, analyzing its design, performance and comfort of use. Strengths that emerged from their testing include a sturdy design, well-thought-out safety equipment like integrated turn signals, efficient lighting and precise braking. Testers praised the stability and driving comfort (including over long distances), thanks in particular to the high handlebars and wide deck. The autonomy was particularly appreciated: a full charge of less than 8 hours offers up to a week of use for commutes of around 50 km. Some points for improvement were raised, such as sensitivity to irregular surfaces, difficulties in connectivity with the application and a significant weight which limits portability for multimodal travel. With generally convergent opinions, our two testers share enthusiastic feedback and highly recommend the Acer Predator ES Series 5 scooter.
