Ray 7.7: an electric scooter that reaches up to 130 km/h

Based in Spain like Silence, the manufacturer Ray enters the electric two-wheeler market with a first model: the 7.7

Why 7.7? Probably because the scooter has a 7.7 kWh battery, and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. Classified in the 125 cc category, the Spanish two-wheeler is also capable of going from 0 to 50 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 125 km/h. High performance for an equivalent 125!

A regenerative braking system adjustable at the handlebar

Placed in a central position, the motor delivers 10.7 kW, or 14 hp. Peak power rises to 17.5 kW (23 hp). The rider can choose between 3 driving modes with varying performance levels. They can also control the intensity of the regenerative braking by turning the accelerator handle in the opposite direction. This feature is available when the battery charge level is below 95%.

Mounted on large-diameter wheels (14″ at the rear and 15″ at the front), the Ray 7.7 features adjustable gas shocks at the rear, and a telescopic fork at the front. Braking is provided by a disc brake at both the front and rear.

A real trunk thanks to a battery around the swingarm

The 7.7 kWh battery is housed within what Ray calls the “Powerblock.” This assembly is positioned between the floor and the rear wheel, right next to the swingarm. In addition to the battery cells, it contains the converter, the BMS, the controller, and safety systems. This architecture allows for a true under-seat storage space without sacrificing riding position, which is often compromised on scooters with batteries under the floorboard.

The Ray 7.7 offers a range of 150 km under mixed cycle conditions. When plugged into a standard household socket, it charges from 0 to 100% in 4 hours and 20 minutes. When connected to a charging station, the charging power can reach up to 3.3 kW. In this setup, it takes only 2 hours and 35 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%.

High-end… and not cheap!

Designed as a rather high-end scooter, the Ray 7.7 features a 5-inch color TFT display with built-in navigation. It is also equipped with an adjustable-height seat, a USB charger, an alarm, and reverse gear. The electronically opening under-seat storage is spacious enough to hold a full-face helmet. A mobile app allows programming the charging process and provides access to other information (geolocation, trip statistics, etc.).

As for the price, it starts at a minimum of €9,690, excluding ecological bonus. The fast charger (3.3 kW) and the Type 2 connector cost €990 and €319 respectively. Heated grips, a tall windshield, and a top case are also available as options.

The Ray 7.7 is assembled in Sant Joan Despi, in the Spanish province of Barcelona.
