The Ray 7.7 comes out of Spain as the newest addition to the 125cc-equivalent electric scooter market, with some eye-catching headline figures.
As you may anticipate from a brand new two-wheeler within the 125 class, the 7.7 comes with virtually 11kW – 10.7kW (14.3 horsepower) to be exact. It’s aggressive, and so is the vary, at 150km of mixed metropolis and freeway driving.
That vary comes because of a 7.7kWh battery, and the ten.7kW will energy the Ray 7.7 to a high pace of 125kph, or 78mph.
Yesterday (16 June 2022), we wrote concerning the OX One and OX Patagonia, each of which function the identical battery and motor, and the same configuration. These electrics share their nationality, as OX is predicated in Spain the identical as Ray, and are additionally 125cc-equivalent electrics, though OX’s two-wheelers are affirmatively bikes, versus the scooter of Ray.
Furthermore, whereas the One and Patagonia produce 0.5 horsepower greater than the 7.7, with 14.8hp every, their cost takes them 50km lower than Ray’s scooter, and so they take 5 hours to cost. In comparability, the Ray 7.7 takes 4 hours and 20 minutes to cost with a traditional charger, whereas with the quick charger the battery might be crammed in two hours and 35 minutes.
Moving from engine to chassis, the Ray 7.7 comes with a tubular metal body with hydraulic entrance forks with 110mm journey, and twin, nitrogen rear dampers with 95mm journey. As for the brakes, on the entrance there’s a 260mm disc with floating axial twin piston callipers and CBS; whereas, on the rear, the disc is 220mm, with an axial single piston floating calliper. And these brakes could have some work to do, as a result of the 7.7 weighs 165kg dry, and filling the 33-litre (non-compulsory) high field, in addition to the underneath seat storage, will definitely add to that.
Finally we come to availability and pricing. The 7.7 is presently solely out there in Spain, though Le Repaire des Motards experiences it’ll quickly be out there in France, so with that in thoughts it’s not out of the query that it might arrive within the UK in some unspecified time in the future. When it does, it is likely to be cheap to anticipate it in 4 colors, since that’s the quantity out there now: “Classic White,” “Black Carbon,” “Grey Matte,” and “Cobalt Matte.”
Only the white color choice doesn’t add further value to the 7.7, which in its base choice prices €8,500. Throwing in all of the choices (quick charger, Type 2 connector enabling charging from automotive charging factors, entrance display and high field) the Ray 7.7 involves €9,800. This is maybe the place the 7.7 falls down in comparison with the OX One, for instance, as its compatriot’s pricing begins a lot decrease, at €5,200.
