  • Introducing the Dualtron Achilleus! This electric scooter has looked to take the best features of the previous Thunder and Eagle models and combined them to create a powerful, yet nimble experience. We put it through the paces in some adverse conditions and get a real look at what the new powerhouse has to offer!

    Ordered new Achilleus
    I ordered yesterday. Achilleus + One extra original charger + AY4 screen total: 3318$ / 3033€.
    I'm 43 years old, 105 kilos. I'll use it as a second scooter. I bought a Navee N65 a month ago.
    Does anyone use Achilleus with AY4 display? What can you do on this screen, what can you see?
    I was torn between the Achilleus, the City and the Ultra II up. I eliminated the City because it was underpowered and the wheels were too big, while the Ultra II Up was too dated in design, even though it was more powerful. Both were 100 dollars cheaper than the Achilleus. But I preferred the Achilleus because it was a newer model and I thought it would have some innovations and improvements and I liked the design.
    Are the batteries in Achilleus Lithium Ion?
    What should I pay attention to when I first buy it and during use?
    Is there a must-have accessory, a must-have piece?
