Buy
a no-name electric scooter from an online
auction and here’s what you’ll
likely get: the cheapest motor and battery
money can buy, and an off-the-shelf
variable-speed controller. No component
matching. No custom engineering. No
fine tuning. The result, of course,
is predictable: You get what you pay
for!
So what’s
different about a Pukka?
| The
easy answer is performance. The
Pukka offers snap-your-head-back
acceleration and incredible range
between charges. But to really
understand the Pukka difference,
you need to look closer. For example,
disassemble the Pukka’s
high-efficiency, 400-watt motor
and you’ll find a case-hardened
armature shaft, upgraded brush-tensioning
system, and four-brush design.
Check out the Pukka’s battery
pack and you’ll find deep-cycle,
rapid-discharge technology—way
too expensive for the no-names
but essential for Pukka-level
performance. |

"The PUKKA easily
handled the [test course]
with both the 170 lb and
the 235 lb rider. [It] is
one of the highest performing
electric scooters under
$1000 [and] will out perform
all current competition
[in its price class]. "

But
the real key is Pukka’s proprietary
PWM (Pulse Width Modulator). Under
development for more than a year,
the PWM is the Pukka’s heart
and soul. It’s simple, elegant
design pushes the reliability envelope
and produces awesome performance,
conserving energy when it can and
delivering a whopping 55 amps when
it needs to.
The Pukka is an exceptional electric
ride-on and is easily the leading
electric MiniBike™.
