United Cheetah

Battery and motor

The Cheetah has the largest battery of any United electric scooter. United lists a 1,200W motor and a 72V 35Ah graphene battery, which works out to roughly 2.52 kWh of storage, about a quarter more than the Sharp Pro. Despite the bigger battery, United still quotes a full charge time of 4 to 5 hours, so it can be charged overnight like the rest of the range.

Range and speed

United claims 75 to 80 km on a full charge, the longest range of its scooters, but a top speed of only 60 to 65 km/h on a plain road, well below the Sharp Pro’s 75 to 85 km/h. In other words, United has tuned the Cheetah for distance rather than speed. It suits riders with longer daily city trips who do not need to ride on faster roads. As always, real-world range drops with a passenger, loads and hills.

Equipment

United lists cruise control, an anti-theft alarm and a mobile charging port on the Cheetah, and its electric vehicle menu shows a front disc brake with tubeless tyres. United does not publish dimensions, weight, seat height, storage or lighting details for this model, so check them in person. Our view: the extra battery capacity is the Cheetah’s real selling point, so ask the dealer whether the battery carries a longer warranty than on the smaller Pro models, and how much a replacement pack costs.

Price and warranty

United does not publish a price for the Cheetah. PakBikePrice lists Rs 205,000, while PriceOye lists a United ‘Sharp-Z’ scooter at Rs 340,000; the official Cheetah page sits at a web address ending in sharp-z, so these may be the same model. Because the figures conflict, we have not listed a price. Ask a United dealer for the current ex-factory price, and ask for battery and motor warranty terms in writing, as United does not publish them online.

Which to buy

There is a single version. Our view: the Cheetah is the United scooter to look at if range matters more to you than speed, for example for long daily city commutes or delivery work within town. If you need to keep up with faster traffic, the Sharp Pro is the better match on United’s own figures.
