Slack Core 920R

The Slack Core 920R is the world’s fastest electric scooter model and it’s designed specifically for racing and extreme speeds. The scooter’s unique geometry provides exceptional stability, with its chassis handling accelerations like no other. 

Built with a sturdy titanium frame and an astonishing 33,600 Watts of power (yes, you read that right), the Slack Core 920R is truly made for the track. Unless you’re planning to race electric scooters, it may not be the most practical or safest option. However, it’s definitely fascinating to watch this beast in action.

Curious to learn more about this speed demon? Check out our Slack Core 920R review below. 

The Slack Core 920R is in a league of its own as the fastest electric scooter. However, scooters like the EMOVE Roadster come close with their 80 mph top speed compared to the 920R’s impressive 91 mph. But, one huge advantage of the Roadster is its 119 km max range, which is considerably more than the Core 920R’s 70 km.

The EMOVE Roadster has a robust 3360 Wh battery and dual hub motors, with each one providing a peak power output of 15,500 W. On the other hand, the Core 920R features a 72 V, 2592 Wh battery and dual 200 amp controllers that offer an incredible 33,600 W peak power.

Another great option is the Dualtron X Limited. It‘s 70 mph top speed and dual 2000W motors make it one of our all time favourite scooters.

The e-scooter boasts dual batteries: a primary 84V 60Ah LG battery that provides an incredible range of 100 miles, along with a secondary 11V 20Ah Li-ion battery that powers the lights, including the headlights, taillights and turn signals. However, its weight can be a challenge, especially on hills; at 182 pounds, it’s understandable.

But for now, let’s dive into the specifics of the fastest electric scooter— the Core 920R!

The Slack Core 920R’s the fastest electric scooter in the world and no other scooter comes close to it. With a tested top speed of 90 mph and a remarkable 33,600 W of raw power, it’s in a category all its own.

Retailing for around €7,000 and produced in limited batches, you may find it difficult to get your hands on the 920R, which makes it feel more like a “boutique” scooter compared to other standard production models.

In terms of ride quality, the Core 920R is the best, thanks to its dual suspension system, which absorbs all shocks like a champ. Plus, the tyres, despite their minimal tread, offer impressive grip and ensure confidence and stability on the road.

As for the battery, the scooter features a 2,592 Wh battery which may seem small for its price, and it can drain quickly if you’re really pushing the motors. However, it’s important to remember that this scooter is designed for extreme speeds rather than long-range cruising.

Overall, for daredevils and speed lovers, there’s nothing quite like the Slack Core 920R and its phenomenal power. 

The Slack Core 920R is one of the fastest electric scooters available, and reaches an incredible 91 mph max speed on the track. Powered by dual 200 amp controllers, this scooter can unleash a peak power of 33,600 Watts and it’s truly a powerhouse on wheels.

One feature that we were particularly impressed by is the scooter’s manageable throttle response. When you go full throttle from a standing start, you can hit the claimed top speed in just 60 seconds. However, this impressive speed makes it a machine that’s best suited for experienced riders who know how to handle the power.

Moreover, the Core 920R is equipped with a 72 V, 2592 Wh battery. This high-voltage system allows the scooter to maintain a steady current even as the battery gets lower, which is typical for racing scooters. We also love that it uses energy-dense 21700, 40T cells from Samsung as this ensures you get decent mileage per charge.

On a single charge, you can expect to travel around 30 km in Turbo mode, which is perfect for those fast-paced rides. If you switch to Eco mode, you’ll enjoy a max range of up to 70 km and get plenty of distance to explore and enjoy your ride.

When it comes to stopping power, the Slack Core 920R is one of the best scooters. It’s equipped with 4-piston Magura brakes, which are known for their reliability and efficiency. We love how these brakes respond quickly and give you the confidence to tackle high speeds while knowing you can come to a safe stop whenever you need to.

The Slack Core 920R may be one of the fastest electric scooters out there, but it’s surprisingly easy to handle, especially for those who’ve got some riding experience. You will need a steady hand, but once you get moving, the scooter feels incredibly stable, thanks to its forged titanium handlebars, stem, and parts of the frame. 

The scooter’s front suspension is designed with braking efficiency in mind rather than pure comfort and features a parallel sustained suspension setup. On the other hand, the rear suspension, measuring 165 mm, is excellent for shock absorption and makes sure your ride remains smooth, even when you’re cruising at high speeds.

Overall, the construction of the Core 920R results in a strong scooter body that’s also flexible enough to soak up vibrations and torsions. This combination leads to an extremely comfortable and stable ride, which is particularly important when riding at high speeds. 

The Slack Core 920R’s 11-inch PMT tyres are racing tyres that are built to grip the track with serious precision, and they do just that! They don’t have a tread as they’re designed to heat up and cling to the surface to give you that perfect “stuck-to-the-track” feel. And once they’re all warmed up, they get even more sticky (think duct tape levels of grip). We really appreciate how this improves the scooter’s overall performance and safety as you whizz past the track at 145 km/hr. 

Weighing in at 105.8 lbs, this scooter isn’t the most lightweight option in the market, especially if you’re carrying it on the subway or upstairs. We also want to point out that it doesn’t fold, so it’s not the type you can just tuck under your arm and go. But since it’s a racing scooter that’s built for speed and performance, we’re not surprised that it’s not extremely portable. 

As a powerful scooter that’s extremely expensive, the Slack Core 920R is designed to be extremely durable and functional. Right from the multi-function handlebar stem, this scooter provides all the information you’ll need at your fingertips. It includes a volt gauge, a keyhole, and driving mode selector, with each feature perfectly integrated for a sleek and simplified setup.

Moreover, the scooter’s cooling system is also one of a kind, and Numo has put a lot of thought into it. The front and rear bodies double as heat sinks, which means they pull heat away to keep the battery and controller cool, even as you’re pushing the scooter to its maximum limits. Plus, the front and rear controllers are strategically placed for extra thermal efficiency, and the shortened rear motor cable also cuts down on any extra heat buildup.

Lastly, the scooter’s build quality is unmatched. The handlebar, pole, and ladder frame are crafted from titanium, while the front fork and swing arm are forged aluminium. As for the handle stem and front/rear block, they’re made using liquid-forged aluminium which makes the scooter strong yet lightweight. 

The Slack Core 920R can support riders that weigh up to 242 lbs. So, even if you’re on the heavier side, this scooter has got your back. 

The riding modes include a turbo mode, which allows you to reach the max speed of 90 miles. However, keep in mind that all that power power will drain the battery faster, and the range will be reduced to only 30 km. Alternatively, you can opt for the eco mode. Although you can’t reach the top speed that this 920R is famous for in this mode, you get a much greater range of 70 km! 

While the Core 920R is a great pick, it does have a few cons, which we have discussed below.

• Exclusively Designed for Track Use: One of the major drawbacks of the Slack Core 920R is that it’s designed solely for racing on tracks and isn’t approved for use on public roads. This limits its practicality for everyday riders who want a versatile scooter. 
• Difficult to Find: The Slack Core 920R is produced in limited batches and finding it is quite challenging. So, you might have to face long waits or have to search extensively to secure one.
• Heavy Weight: Weighing in at 105.8 lbs, the Core 920R isn’t the most portable option available. Carrying it up stairs or on public transport can be very hard, especially for those who live in urban areas and need portable e-scooters. 
• Extremely Expensive: The Slack Core 920R is more expensive than most other scooters in the market. 

The Slack Core 920R’s price tag is pretty hefty as it’s a professional racing scooter. It’s only worth it for serious racers who can take it on the circuit. However, you’re better off looking elsewhere for a daily-use option, like the Dualtron X Limited. 

The Slack Core 920R is the perfect pick for serious racers who are into circuit racing, as it features powerful motors, remarkable top speeds and tyres that are specifically designed for maximum grip on the track. However, keep in mind that beginners need to steer clear of it, as it can be extremely unsafe for those who don’t have enough experience.
