Shifting gears from gasoline-powered bikes, CSC Motorcycles, a renowned entity headquartered in Southern California, embraced the electric wave in 2018. Their journey into the electric domain has since been adorned by four distinct models catering to varied commuter needs. The ES5 is the latest addition to their electric lineup, bridging the gap between the retro Monterey and the powerful CSC RX1E.
The CSC ES5 boasts a maximum speed of 85 km/h, making it apt for almost any city road. While it's not designed for interstate travel, its speed positions it perfectly for urban commuting. With a 5 kW centrally mounted motor (peaking at 8 kW), this scooter promises an exhilarating ride.
Equipped with three 60V, 31Ah lithium-ion batteries, riders can benefit from a cumulative capacity of 5.58 kWh. This setup allows a commendable range of 110 km when cruising at a steady 50 km/h. Notably, CSC's range estimates have historically been realistic, often echoing actual rider experiences.
Priced at $5,295 (pre-ordering at $4,995 plus $410 dealer fees), the ES5 undercuts the competition significantly. For instance, the NIU MQi Sport Extended Range, priced at $6,199, offers less in terms of speed, battery capacity, and motor power. While NIU does have certain advantages like a comprehensive app and a larger dealer network, the ES5 undoubtedly offers unparalleled value.
The CSC ES5 is more than just an electric scooter. It comes loaded with:
CSC also provides customization options with three available colorways. As the company begins accepting pre-orders, a refundable deposit of $300 ensures potential buyers can reserve their ES5.
Poised to redefine electric scootering, the CSC ES5 Electric Scooter blends performance, convenience, and affordability. As deliveries are anticipated later this year, the electric vehicle industry waits with bated breath for the impact this model will have. CSC has clearly sent a message: they're here to innovate and dominate.
