A challenge to the limits of autonomy

Until this achievement, most commercial electric scooters offered average ranges of between 25 and 35 km per charge—figures sufficient for typical urban commuting but limited for long-distance travel. The challenge posed by BEWATT was to demonstrate that an electric scooter could significantly multiply that standard range.

To achieve this, David de la Vega designed a scooter from scratch, equipped with a high-capacity battery system (1,776 Wh) and a set of components adapted to maximize energy efficiency and comfort. In addition, improvements were made such as a more flexible deck and pneumatic wheels that better absorb terrain irregularities.

The route and verification

The test was no coincidence: it was carefully planned along a route in Madrid that met the technical requirements of Guinness World Records, including:

- Continuous GPS tracking to certify distance and route.

- Verification by witnesses positioned along the route.

- The presence of positive elevation changes, adding real difficulty to battery performance.

The total journey lasted 9 hours and 43 minutes without recharging, and at the end the GPS recorded 95.33 km traveled on a single battery charge.

An achievement with impact beyond the numbers

This record is more than just a figure: it is a sign that light electric vehicles (LEVs) can become viable transportation options beyond typical urban use. Although it does not break the absolute distance record for electric scooters (which stands at hundreds of kilometers using specialized strategies and human relays)—such as the 656.8 km recorded by Guinness in China for a modified scooter in 2020—this new milestone is particularly relevant for the personal electric scooter sector.

Furthermore, this achievement by BEWATT and Evangelina is not an isolated event: back in 2023, they had already set another significant record by traveling 2,135.70 km from Frankfurt to Madrid (an extreme durability test).

What does it mean for the future of mobility?

Pushing technical limits: it demonstrates that with proper engineering and components, range can be increased without compromising safety or comfort.

Boost to micromobility: challenges like this build confidence among the public and manufacturers that LEVs can be used for longer journeys without the need for frequent recharging.

Visibility for local manufacturers: the feat highlights Spanish innovation in electric mobility while generating international attention for this technological niche.
