ENGWE electric scooter – Y600S and Y700 at Wheelyshop
ENGWE is best known for its ENGWE electric bikes, but the brand also builds e-scooters that you will find at Wheelyshop: the Y600S and the Y700. Both share the same 48 V 18.2 Ah battery, a 500 W rated motor, a claimed top speed of 45 km/h and front and rear suspension. The differences lie in range (70 and 85 km respectively according to the manufacturer), peak output (830 and 1,200 W) and weight (24.0 and 31.7 kg). An ENGWE electric scooter suits you if you want long range and real comfort in a folding format, ride standing without a saddle, and know that the output places the models in moped class. At Wheelyshop you get free delivery on all electric vehicles and a 2-year warranty.
In short
- The models: the Y600S with 70 km of range, 24.0 kg and 830 W peak output, and the Y700 with 85 km, 31.7 kg and 1,200 W peak output – both with a 48 V 18.2 Ah battery and 45 km/h.
- Shared technology: front and rear suspension, two disc brakes, 10-inch pneumatic tyres, IPX5 and indicators. The Y700 adds an app, NFC unlocking, cruise control and four riding modes.
- The Y600S for you if you lift and fold often; the Y700 for longer commutes, steeper hills and more equipment. Neither has a saddle.
- Rules in Europe: with 500 W rated output and 45 km/h, these ENGWE electric scooters exceed the 20–25 km/h and roughly 250 W that most EU countries allow for bicycle class – without national registration and insurance they are for enclosed private land only.
- Wheelyshop offers free delivery on all electric vehicles and a 2-year warranty on both the Y600S and the Y700.
Choosing the right ENGWE electric scooter – a guide to the Y600S and Y700
With the Y600S and Y700 the choice is easy to survey, but the details decide. Here we go through the differences, how to read range and output, what applies on European roads and how to look after your ENGWE.
Y600S or Y700 – how the ENGWE electric scooters differ
The Y600S arrived in 2024 and is the lighter model at 24.0 kg. It has 10-inch pneumatic tyres with an off-road tread, an ignition key, a USB port, a horn, an adjustable handlebar and three riding modes. The motor is rated at 500 W with 830 W peak output, and range is quoted at 70 km. The Y700 is new for 2026 and weighs 31.7 kg. It shares the battery and rated output with the Y600S but is quoted at 1,200 W peak output, 85 km of range, four riding modes, cruise control, a bag hook, plus an app and NFC unlocking instead of a key. The manufacturer recommends the Y700 for riders of 160–200 cm and from 16 years of age.
In short: the Y600S is simpler and lighter, the Y700 heavier but more complete. Both fold, carry a maximum load of 120 kg and have indicators and front and rear lights.
Range and battery on an ENGWE electric scooter
The Y600S and Y700 have the same 48 V 18.2 Ah battery, which corresponds to roughly 874 Wh. Even so, the manufacturer quotes 70 km for the Y600S and 85 km for the Y700, measured under ideal conditions. In practice, expect 50–70 percent of the quoted figure, i.e. around 35–50 km on the Y600S and 40–60 km on the Y700; rider weight, speed, cold, wind and tyre pressure all make a big difference. The battery is built in on both, and charging time is quoted at 8–10 hours for the Y600S and 9–10 hours for the Y700. With those figures both belong among our long-range electric scooters. Tyre pressure, speed and charging habits all matter – see our guide on how to increase your range.
Motor, peak output and hills
Rated output is 500 W on both, with 28 Nm of torque. The difference lies in peak output, what the motor can deliver briefly when pulling away and on climbs: 830 W on the Y600S against 1,200 W on the Y700. That gives the Y700 a claimed hill-climbing ability of 20 degrees compared with 15 degrees for the Y600S. The claimed top speed is 45 km/h for both, with a 25 km/h speed limiter in the software. Weight matters too: at 24.0 kg the Y600S is reasonable to lift into the car, while 31.7 kg on the Y700 is something to reckon with if you live without a lift.
Comfort: tyres, suspension and brakes – but no saddle
Here the models are alike. Both have 10-inch pneumatic tyres, front and rear shock absorbers, two disc brakes and an IPX5 rating that copes with rain spray. The Y600S rolls on tyres with an off-road tread for extra grip on gravel, while the Y700 has smoother pneumatic tyres for tarmac. Neither has a saddle; both are ridden standing. The Y600S has an adjustable handlebar and a horn; the Y700 lacks both but has cruise control, which rests your thumb on longer stretches. What the IP rating means in practice, and how to ride and care for your scooter in the wet, is explained in our guide to riding an electric scooter in the rain.
Rules in Europe for an ENGWE electric scooter
In most EU countries an e-scooter counts as a bicycle only if it is limited to 20–25 km/h and, usually, no more than 250 W of rated motor output. The Y600S and Y700 have 500 W and are built for 45 km/h, so they are formally treated as mopeds and, without national registration and insurance, may only be ridden on enclosed private land; the 25 km/h limiter does not change that. Always wear a helmet – choose from our helmets – and check the EU overview of road rules and safety and our guide to electric scooter laws in Europe.

Frequently asked questions
Is an ENGWE electric scooter legal in Europe?
Both the Y600S and the Y700 have 500 W rated motor output and are built for 45 km/h, so they do not meet the bicycle-class requirements that most EU countries apply (roughly 250 W and 20–25 km/h). Formally they are treated as mopeds, and the 25 km/h limiter does not change that. Without national registration and insurance they may therefore only be ridden on enclosed private land. Check your national rules before riding.
How far do the ENGWE electric scooters Y600S and Y700 go on a charge?
The manufacturer quotes 70 km for the Y600S and 85 km for the Y700, both with a 48 V 18.2 Ah battery of roughly 874 Wh. In real-world riding you usually get 50–70 percent of that, i.e. around 35–50 km and 40–60 km respectively depending on weight, speed, temperature and surface.
Which ENGWE electric scooter is best for commuting?
The Y700 is best for longer commutes thanks to 85 km of claimed range, 1,200 W peak output, 20-degree hill-climbing ability and cruise control. The Y600S is better if you need to lift or fold the scooter often, since it weighs 24.0 kg against 31.7 kg for the Y700.
Does the ENGWE Y700 have an app, a saddle or suspension?
The Y700 has an app, NFC unlocking, cruise control and front and rear suspension, but no saddle. The Y600S also has front and rear suspension but lacks an app and unlocks with an ignition key instead. Neither model has a saddle; both are ridden standing.
Are spare parts available for an ENGWE electric scooter?
If you need a spare part or servicing for the Y600S or Y700, contact customer service with the model name and we will help you. Both models come with a 2-year warranty.
