Technology for optimal comfort and convenience
Designed with a dual motor system, the WHILL R 3 has a compact turning circle; the motors in the scooter can turn in different directions which allows the WHILL R to turn around while occupying less space. Currently, there are only two other scooters with dual motors: Pride Zero Turn and Pride ZT10. The dual motors are a rare feature which allows scooters to manoeuvre outstandingly well indoors.
Enjoy smoother turns with the steering angle sensor. The sensor is a safety feature that functions to adjust its speed during turns for a safe and smooth driving experience. To further enhance the drivability of the WHILL R, the stabiliser and suspension work together to create an exceptionally stable journey.
Apart from the drivability, users can view speed, remaining battery life and range left on the LED display to plan their journey.
