Use Case
Portable Scooter For Inner City Rides
Most Reliable In The Rain
While we did not invest in an IP rating for the Drider 8, it is the scooter from our portfolio that has the least problems with water damage. The display is IP66 rated. The two fenders do an excellent job in keeping the water down. And the deck openings are protected with silicone.
Intuitive Cockpit
The display with three riding gears allows for ample customizations such as zero start and cruise control. It comes with a smooth to operate thumb throttle. The maintenance free rear drum brake is effective and triggers brake lighting. Triple front and dual rear LEDs ensure good visibility at night. We recommend a handlebar height headlight like the DRIDER flash for extended night rides.
Best In Class Portability
The grip above the rear wheel allows for an easy pick up of your scooter without foling it down. The scooter folds down in seconds, the steering column locks in place for easy one-handed carry. For a minimal footprint you can collapse the handlebars as well.
Dual Suspension
In this price range, dual suspension is a rarity. The Drider 8 delivers a smooth and stable ride even on rougher road conditions. For an optimal stance, you can adjust the handlebar height to your liking. And you can use the rear handle as your foot rest.
Classic Design
The matt black finish with subtle branding makes for an understated look. It's rather classic in design but due to its outstanding reliablity with many riders reporting thousands of miles, we are shying away from changing any of the proven components

Since range of electric scooters varies greatly by riding style and rider weight, here are some examples for this particular model so you can judge:
30 miles
Optimal Conditions (165 lb rider, 15 mph constant speed, 13Ah variant)
This is the range you can get under optimal conditions. Usually manufacturers quote this type of range. We expect real world range to be lower since you will not go at constant slow speed.

Customer Reviews
I have purchased a lot online over the last few years, I have never had such amazing and fast responses to my questions !!! Best customer service, thanks.
We bought the Drider 8 E-scooter for our 14-year-old daughter who absolutely loves the scooter. It goes really fast and smooth. It’s very easy to drive and is real solid, heavy duty scooter. We would recommend this scooter to anyone looking for an awesome scooter!!!!
I like how I can remove the rear fender to clean it thoroughly. I always give my scooter a cleaning after using it in the rain. The scooter is fast, light, and a reliable means of transportation for me. I can do light grocery shopping with it. I can carry it up and down the subway stairs quickly, easily, and safely. Most of all, I can fold it up and tuck it away, anyplace that I carry it along with me.
DRIDER 8 is a very good scooter and the ride is smooth! I haven’t drive it for long but so far so good. Good quality and it has enough power to handle trails and some hills. I received the scooter well packaged and in excellent condition with no damages. I appreciate the Drider customer service and their support. If you need a portable and practical scooter for your daily use or just to have fun, this will be a good option. The speed is good and it has multiple options to chose from using the scooter lcd control. I was able to get 24mph and it was very steady. Overall is a solid scooter and easy to move around!
Thank You
The D 8 is a perfect scooter for commute and Recreation!!!
