Prowler Specs: Performance and Battery Breakdown
Battery Specifications
Sitting inside that faux tank is a 52V 20Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery—a 1.04 kWh beast with the muscle for long hauls. It charges in 6–8 hours and gives you up to 70 miles (112 km) on low PAS with a light rider, or around 40–60 miles (64–96 km) under normal city cruising conditions. It's removable and secured inside a waterproof, embossed leather tank casing that doubles as a style flex.
- Battery: Samsung 52V 20Ah (1.04 kWh)
- Range: Up to 70 miles (112 km)
- Charging Time: 6–8 hours with 2A charger
- Removable: Yes, weatherproof housing
Performance
The motor? A 1000W rear hub brute with 1500W peak output and 85 Nm of torque. You’ll hit 28 mph (45 km/h) in Class 3 mode with pedal assist, or throttle up casually with a half-twist grip. Choose between Eco, Normal, and Power with 5 PAS levels. Yes, the cadence sensor means a slight delay in motor engagement—but the torque makes up for it on inclines or city sprints.
- Motor: 1000W nominal, 1500W peak
- Top Speed: 28 mph (45 km/h)
- Torque: 85 Nm
- Throttle: Half-twist grip
- Assist Levels: 5 PAS modes
Gear shifting is handled by a Shimano 7-speed system. The stretched wheelbase, along with the 26" x 4" front and 20" x 4" rear tires, keeps you glued to the road while giving off serious café racer attitude.
Color Range and Design:
Exterior
The Prowler brings old-school cool to electric cruising. With its 6061 aluminum alloy frame, high-set ape hanger bars, and leather-wrapped tank, it looks like it just rolled out of a custom garage. Integrated front/rear fenders and a café-style sprung saddle with thick sponge cushioning complete the vibe. Even the tires are puncture-resistant K-Shields, layered with reflective strips for safety flair.
Color Variants
Offered in a single-size frame with adjustable components, the Prowler’s visual identity leans into tan and black tones. The café racer-style tank cover can be customized with aftermarket leather finishes, and you can always dress it up with panniers or accessories for a more utilitarian look without ditching the café soul.
Pros and Cons:
Pros
- Bold café racer design with ape hanger bars and vintage tank styling
- 1000W motor with 1500W peak and up to 70-mile (112 km) range

Whether you're headed to the café or tearing up weekend trails, the Prowler is your ride if you like your bikes like your jackets—leather, loud, and loaded with character. Its motor and battery combo is a freight train wrapped in vintage skin. It's not built for featherweights—it’s built for riders who crave torque, looks, and full-throttle comfort.

Comparison:
In the class of retro electric cruisers, the Prowler doesn’t stand alone. It competes directly with head-turners like the Super73 RX, Juiced HyperScrambler 2, Cafe Moto Go, and Michael Blast Greaser. But when it comes to price-to-muscle, the Prowler flexes hard.
Range Comparison
The Prowler claims up to 70 miles (112 km), putting it toe-to-toe with Juiced HyperScrambler 2 (up to 100 miles / 160 km with dual battery), and ahead of the Super73 RX (40–75 miles / 64–120 km depending on rider and terrain). Michael Blast Greaser offers up to 60 miles (96 km).
Top Speed Comparison
At 28 mph (45 km/h), the Prowler keeps pace with Super73 RX and Juiced HyperScrambler 2, all hitting the Class 3 ceiling. Cafe Moto Go and Greaser fall slightly behind at 25 mph (40 km/h).
Motor Output
The Prowler delivers 1000W nominal (1500W peak), matching Juiced HyperScrambler 2 (1000W dual motor) and out-muscling Super73 RX (960W). Cafe Moto Go lags at 750W nominal.
Charging Time
At 6–8 hours, the Prowler falls in line with Greaser and RX. Juiced’s dual battery takes longer, often over 10 hours without a fast charger.
Price Comparison
Prowler starts at $2,999 (approx. £2,320 / €2,740), undercutting Super73 RX ($3,695), HyperScrambler 2 ($3,499), and Cafe Moto Go ($3,999). Greaser hovers around $2,899—just shy of the Prowler’s base tag but with less punch.
