When we talk about a 1000W electric scooter , we necessarily think of a large electric scooter . Today we are testing the Weebot Leika for you, designed for the city but which ultimately turns out to be an excellent road car. A particularly solid high-end urban model for heavy riders. Let's start this Leika electric scooter test without further delay.
Presentation of the Weebot Leika
Released at the start of the year, the Weebot Leika is the latest electric scooter model from the French company Weebot. Renowned for its quality models, Weebot completes its range of electric scooters with the Leika which slots in between the Omaha and the Zephyr.
Modern and stylish look
Closer in terms of look to the Weebot Zephyr than to the Omaha, the Leika is right in line with the trend for elegant and classy electric scooters . In a black color, a few small touches of red at the brake calipers enhance its design. Just what you need to add a touch that is both high-end and urban.
When turning it on, a surprise awaits us with the presence of LEDs along the stem, as well as on the sides of the deck. It is possible via the display to turn them on or off on demand, by holding down the "mode" button for a few seconds.
Technical sheet of the 1000W Weebot Leika electric scooter
Easily foldable, the Leika once taken out of the box measures 117cm in length and 43cm in height. The foldable handlebars also, by unscrewing the two tightening knobs, make the dimensions even more compact with only 19.5 cm in width.
The Weebot Leika is equipped with an LG 52V and 18.2Ah Lithium-ion battery. Enough to give it a range of around 55 km. We will return to this later to verify whether this theoretical autonomy is achievable in practice.
This city electric scooter weighs 24 kg. Not necessarily an ideal machine to transport if you use public transport. Despite everything, once folded, the grip and balance make this 1000W electric scooter easy to carry!
The Leika's large 10-inch inflatable tires provide excellent stability, especially at maximum speeds well in excess of 25 km/h on private roads. For safety, Weebot's new electric scooter is equipped with disc brakes at the front and rear. A way to ensure effective braking on the road.
When held in hand, the Leika exudes solidity. This 1000W electric scooter benefits from high-end finishes which give it a particularly robust appearance. No cracking or grinding noise!
An excellent point when we come to pay 1249 euros for a 1000W electric scooter which we use every day to get to work.
In addition, the Leika accepts people weighing 120kg without any problem. We were not able to test further, but it is very likely, given the excellent manufacturing quality, that it is possible to withstand a significantly greater weight.
However, we cannot guarantee that the maximum speed of 50 km/h can be reached with a weight above 150 kg, nor the expected range.
1000W power motor
The Weebot Leika electric scooter is equipped with a powerful 1000W motor present in the rear wheel. This delivers a peak power of up to 1400W in mode 3. Of course the scooter is delivered limited to 25 km/h to use it legally on public roads. But if you feel like going off-road, the Weebot Leika can quickly reach 50 km/h top speed.
Unlike the Zephyr which has a dual motor system, the Leika only has one. This is an advantage in terms of autonomy, while still providing enough power for most users. The acceleration is not too violent at the start and is then linear to reach its maximum speed very quickly.
A good point for users who fear losing control. This scooter is made for you, while providing enough engine torque to be comfortable on steep slopes. This model is perfect in the city for slipping through traffic very quickly in complete safety. But also to enjoy good driving sensations thanks to the 1000W motor in the rear wheel.
10-inch wheels with inflatable tires
The Leika's inner tube wheels provide comfort, even during sporty driving. We tested the Leika in the forest and it perfectly absorbs shocks and vibrations from particularly bumpy roads. The 10-inch tires combined with the front and rear double suspension system allow comfortable driving, without fear of punctures.
Because yes, once properly inflated, 10 inch tube tires are very resistant to punctures. To do this, you must check the tire pressure from time to time so as not to suffer from the pinching effect of the inner tube.
Very comfortable suspensions
Whether it's the cobblestones or the sidewalks to climb, the rear suspensions and the front suspension of the Leika offer an excellent level of comfort. Neither too soft nor too firm, these front and rear suspensions give the Leika a pleasant and comfortable ride. This is what you expect from a high-end electric scooter.
Safe high-end electric scooter
Weebot has also not skimped on the security of its users. All the safety equipment is present to support the power of the 1000W electric motor and guarantee smooth driving. We will explain to you why the Leika is the best 1000W electric scooter.
Powerful front and rear disc brakes
The Weebot Leika is equipped with2 140mm diameter stainless steel ventilated disc brakes. This gives the Weebot 1000W electric scooter quality braking. Measured on flat, dry ground, it only took 2.45m for the Leika to come to a complete stop after reaching a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
The brake levers on the handlebars provide very good braking bite. To do this, you need to use your braking carefully if you don't want to be surprised.
Perfect night visibility with LED
When we talk about safety, one point that we often forget to mention is visibility to others on the road. When the weather turns cloudy or nighttime creeps in, the Weebot Leika brings out its ultimate weapon: LED light strips on all 3 sides of the 1000W electric scooter.
This allows, in addition to a trendy look, to offer excellent visibility. It will be impossible to go unnoticed on your Weebot Leika trips in low light. In addition, this large 1000W electric scooter is equipped with front and rear headlights as required by regulations.
But on this high-end electric scooter model, the rear lights flash when braking to better indicate to others that you are slowing down on the road.
It is entirely possible to turn off these LEDs in broad daylight (and even at night if you want) using the latest generation display from Weebot. A simple long press on the “mode” button turns this lighting on and off. This will allow you to save on battery power.
A point on autonomy. The 50 kilometers reached?
Precisely, speaking of the lithium battery, we carried out our Leika electric scooter test over a whole day in order to calculate its maximum autonomy in the most realistic way possible with its 1000W electric motor.
Alternating between mode 1 (25 km/h) and mode 3 (50 km/h), we were able to drive until the battery was completely depleted after 50 km. Bet kept compared to the technical sheet! All this without sparing the li-ion battery with great acceleration and off-road mode.
Quite a feat for an 18.2Ah (946 Wh) urban model with my weight of 70 kg.
Promise kept on lithium battery autonomy
By having only one motor, this offers the 1000W electric scooter a maximum operating autonomy that is more than adequate for urban users. By using it exclusively in mode 1, which is already very good in town, it is certainly possible to reach 60 km. Enough to recharge it only once a week with daily trips of 5 to 10 km.
Charging time on a single port
But what about the charging time of the Leika? To regain the maximum charge of the battery, the Leika's 2A charger needs approximately 8 hours. A charging time that can be reduced to 2h30 with a fast charger (6.5A) available for sale.
No second charging port, however, on the Leika. It is therefore not possible to further reduce the charging time by connecting a second charger in parallel.
The advantages of the Leika, 1000W electric scooter
Very pleasant to use on a daily basis, the Weebot Leika and its 1000W electric motor have many advantages. If you are looking for a more powerful city car than the Weebot Anoki , then this Leika model is for you. It is possible to use it fully in the city, but also in off-road mode as during the crash test carried out by Samo on Board .
