Reesink eVehicles is hoping to capture the imagination of UK golfers – and course and golf operation managers – with the launch of an electric scooter that provides a new and exciting way to get around the golf course.
Brought to the UK by Reesink e-Vehicles, the eye-catching Kaaspeed scooter promises up to 30 miles of battery life on a single charge.
Weighing 45kg, the scooter’s frame is made from aircraft-grade aluminium and requires little in the way of maintenance. The motor is powered by a car-grade LG cell lithium-ion battery which is housed in the footrest. With a top speed of 28mph – which can be limited – the Kaaspeed can be ridden for up to 31 miles from a full charge. A smart battery management system features temperature resistance, while the motor offers automatic torque adjustment for maximum hill climbing capacity.
A radius front tyre and a solid tyre wall on the rear provide the unique self-balancing profile, while the tyres can be switched to suit the ground conditions. Scorpion tyres offer excellent traction for woodland and sandy surfaces, while the standard plain tread tyres are perfect for flat ground with turf protection.
Dave French, sales manager for Reesink e-Vehicles, said: “Golf managers are facing up to the reality that they need to be more inclusive and attract the younger generation to the sport. Kaaspeed is one way to do that. They provide a different aspect to the game, a fun way to get from hole to hole. Plus, as a solo drive, this speeds things up – no veering off for your partner’s golf ball in the opposite direction to yours – and means more games in the same amount of time, bringing sure-fire appeal to this generation.”
Dave expands: “This provides convenience as users hop-on hop-off navigating the course, but also means their golf bag on the back always remains secure and upright. With four stock colours and up to 10 special colours with 14 accessories to choose from, KAASPEED scooters offer great customisation for clubs to offer a unique and fun rental option for their members and guests.”
“The trend for electric on the course shows no signs of abating, and rightly so. The course is nature’s playground for golfers and it seems counterintuitive to pollute that with the noise and fumes of diesel transportation.”
Offered in four stock colours and up to 10 special colours, with 14 accessories, such as a phone holder and a basket, golf clubs can order Kaaspeed scooters pre-configured for their members to hire or buy.
