PHSCOO Butterfly Ultra: Best Value Under 800 Euro
The Butterfly Ultra sits at 749 EUR for the Premium five-colour configuration. For that price you get:
- 13.5 kg folding aluminium frame - light enough to carry up stairs and onto trains
- Dual suspension (front and rear) - absorbs cobblestones and tram tracks, which competitors at this price do not offer
- E-marked turn signals front and rear, plus a deck ambient light for side visibility
- 500W motor with tested 51.7 km ECO range (75 kg rider, flat road, 20 km/h)
- 24-month Premium warranty covering battery, motor, controller and display
- 7 service points in Austria, Belgium and France
The Standard red-and-black version starts at 699 EUR with pneumatic tyres and a 12-month base warranty.
NIU KQi Air: Lightest Pick at 11.9 kg
If saving 1.6 kg is your top priority, the NIU KQi Air uses a carbon fibre frame to reach 11.9 kg. Trade-offs: no suspension, a 350W motor (vs 500W), and you need to confirm local service availability. NIU offers a 24-month battery warranty, which matches PHSCOO Premium.
What to Look For Under 800 Euro
- Weight: Under 15 kg is genuinely portable for stairs and trains. Over 18 kg, you will notice it every flight of stairs.
- Suspension: Without it, every pothole and cobblestone goes straight to your wrists. If your commute has uneven surfaces, suspension matters more than saving 1 kg.
- Tyres: Airless (solid) front tyre eliminates flats on the drive wheel. Pneumatic rear tyre keeps comfort. This mixed setup is the best compromise for city commuting.
- Warranty: A 12-month battery warranty means you may need a replacement battery in year 2. Aim for 24 months if possible.
- Service network: A cheap scooter with no local service is expensive when it breaks. Check warranty return options before buying.
FAQ
Is 800 Euro enough for a good electric scooter?
Yes. Under 800 euro you get a lightweight (under 15 kg), 500W-class scooter with 40-50 km range, suspension or good tyres, and a 12-24 month warranty. Spend less and you sacrifice either weight, range or build quality.
What is the lightest electric scooter under 800 euro?
The NIU KQi Air at 11.9 kg is one of the lightest. The PHSCOO Butterfly Ultra at 13.5 kg is slightly heavier but adds dual suspension and turn signals.
Can I find a 24-month warranty scooter under 800 euro?
Yes. The PHSCOO Butterfly Ultra Premium includes a 24-month warranty on battery, motor, controller and display at 749 euro. The Standard version at 699 euro has 12 months.
Which scooter is best for cobblestone streets?
Choose a model with suspension. The PHSCOO Butterfly Ultra has front and rear suspension; most competitors under 800 euro do not. On Parisian or Brussels cobblestones, suspension makes a real difference.
Bottom Line
If you want the best balance of weight, comfort, safety (turn signals) and warranty at under 800 euro, the PHSCOO Butterfly Ultra Premium at 749 euro is the most complete package. If absolute minimum weight beats everything else, consider the NIU KQi Air. Compare current delivered prices and local service before deciding.
