Apart from being pushed by two electric powers, it also has a spare battery on the deck. Even though the battery under the seat is removed, Ionex is still able to go a certain distance.
In one full charge, one battery can cover a distance of about 60 km. In total, with two batteries and one spare, as well as a battery that is stored in the trunk, this electric scooter is able to cover a distance of 200 kilometers.
