Shell RIDE Electric Scooters: 5 Premium Safety Controls That Come Standard
Every Shell RIDE electric scooter ships with the safety controls riders ask for first — dual braking, app-based parental speed limits, and a brake-light flash for night rides. Below: the full 2023 announcement and what’s on board the SR-5S.
LAS VEGAS and Canton, Mich. (May 16, 2023) – Lotus International Company – a Shell consumer products brand licensee – announced today that its Shell RIDE SR-5S electric scooters come equipped with premium safety controls, designed for functionality, style, and control at Shell’s National Wholesale Conference in Las Vegas.
5 Safety Features Standard on Every Shell RIDE Electric Scooter
- Dual braking system — both EBS (electronic brake system) and disc braking
- Shell RIDE app — remotely monitor and control settings like speed and LED headlight; a built-in lock lets users secure their scooter with a tap
- Lightweight design — easier to carry and store
- Comfortable ergonomic grips — paired with simple, intuitive controls
- Semi-pneumatic tires — smooth, maintenance-free riding for years to come
“Safety is one of the biggest concerns that we hear from people who are searching for ways to reduce their carbon emissions. We believe that we have one of the most stylish and safest electric scooters on the market today for the price,” said former Shark Tank winner Michelle Winowich of Lotus International Company, a Brand Licensing partner for Shell and the supplier and marketer of the product line. “As a mom, I love that parents can set the top speed through the app.”
In a review of the best electric scooters, Owner’s Magazine touted the value of the Shell RIDE app saying that “Everything about the SR-5S screams quality. The SR-5S is one of few scooters with robust App integration …it’s an exceptionally well-designed interface that connects seamlessly with the scooter.”
Recent customer reviews highlight safety, saying:
- “The dual brake system is a huge plus and if you have ever been on a scooter with just one brake then you know how big of a deal this is,” said Dylan, SR-5S owner.
- “I love the fact that the brake light flashes for night rides,” said Jennifer, SR-5S owner.
Winowich added, “The world’s energy system is changing, and Shell RIDE’s line of e-scooters, and soon-to-be-released e-bikes, provides a fun, safe, and low-emission mode of personal transportation for life’s short journeys.”
