The e-scooter comes with the same speedy performance, and is draped in the famous color-blocked red and white livery. This is not the first Ayrton-themed e-scooter in the edition as Pure Electric revealed the Senna Special Edition e-scooter in the Brazilian national flag colors. The performance of the 1988 F1 car-themed two-wheeler truly compliments the narrative of one of the most successful cars ever in motorsports history. It has a stable and controlled e-ride experience honed by a 710w peak power output and 31 mph range. This makes it apt for strong hill climbing and acceleration without eating up the battery power.

The IP65-rated Pure x McLaren MP4/4 Special Edition has a forward-facing stance for balanced racing aesthetics and a lower center of gravity. For urban practicality, the e-scooter comes with folding handlebars and foot pads that you can store in your car’s boot. Safety takes precedence as it comes with steering stabilization for reduced wobble and rear KERS brakes for control on every corner, even on rough surfaces. For nighttime navigation, the e-scooter has 150 lumens headlight and rear brake lights.

This special edition scooter will please motorheads who want more than a collectible for their living room or garage. Priced at approximately $1,250, the Pure Electric’s final e-scooter in the collection is one to have if you want to ride the eco-conscious wave.
