The developer calls it a hyperscooter.

E-scooters have grown in popularity to the point that a number of Filipinos choose to use them for their commutes. It is easy to use and environmentally friendly as it doesn’t need fuel to run. With the growing demand for e-scooters, London-based personal recreation vehicle company D-Fly is presenting its own take with the Dragonfly.

This is the world's first hyperscooter

The Dragonfly Hyperscooter comes with a comprehensive build that takes e-scooters to the next level. For the suspension, the Dragonfly has a 4-wheel dual independent damped suspension setup, which can help the e-scooter drive even in off-road conditions. Its unique four-wheel carbon fiber platform and full-tilt steering set the Dragonfly apart from the rest.

Powering the Dragonfly are two 550-watt motors that can produce a peak power of 1,650 watts. The e-scooter comes with three drive modes, namely the D1 (15 km/h), D2 (25 km/h), and D3 (40 km/h). It also comes with a reverse ride mode that has a maximum speed of 5 km/h.

All of these features offer a smooth, safe and comfortable ride. Moreover, the Dragonfly can provide you with a spirited riding experience as D-Fly built the machine to give riders the confidence to go fast even on rough roads. Once you’re done, the e-scooter can be conveniently folded for easier storage in your car's trunk or luggage compartment.

“The urban mobility industry is burgeoning, and we realized a need for a more advanced, high-quality product that would usher in a new era of e-mobility. With Dragonfly, we are confident that we have created something truly special that will change the way people move around cities and not only today but forever,” said D-Fly Group CEO Jez Williman.
