Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R Performance Tested and Explained

The Hypevolt-R has a 5.04kWh battery pack split into two units. It gets three riding modes, each with a different top speed and throttle response. Eco is limited to 45kph, Normal takes that up to 81kph, while Sport allows the scooter to reach its claimed 115kph.

Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R: Acceleration

During our test, the conditions were damp.

Acceleration (Sport Mode)	Time (seconds)
0-40kph	2.64s
0-60kph	4.54s
0-80kph	7.49s
0-100kph	13.05s

In our performance tests in Sport mode, the Hypevolt-R achieved the 0-80kph sprint in 7.49sec and 0-100kph in 13.05sec, making it quicker than the Ather 450 Apex. It was even slightly quicker than the BMW CE 02 we tested last year. Throttle calibration is well done. Despite the strong acceleration, the scooter never feels intimidating.

Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R: Roll-On Acceleration

The scooter delivers 12kW (16.3hp) of peak power.

Roll-On Acceleration (Sport Mode)	Time (seconds)
20-50kph	2.58s
30-70kph	3.73s
50-80kph	3.96s

Roll-on acceleration times are also quick. In Sport mode, the scooter took 2.58 seconds to get from 20-50kph, 3.73 seconds from 30-70kph, and 3.96 seconds from 50-80kph. Normal mode offers enough punch for quick overtakes while preserving more range than Sport. Eco works well around town, but the 45kph limit makes Normal the more useful everyday setting.

Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R: Braking

Decent braking performance, but rear ABS intervenes quickly.

Braking	Distance
60-0kph	23.60m

The brakes are adequate at city speeds, although the rear ABS intervenes rather quickly when braking hard from higher speeds.
