Acer Gadget, a subsidiary of Acer Inc., has announced its latest innovations at COMPUTEX 2025: the Acer FreeSense Ring and Acer AI TransBuds. These new products signify the company’s expanding focus on AI-powered wearables and real-time communication tools. In addition, Acer Gadget showcased its expanded smart mobility portfolio, featuring new e-scooters and e-bikes, underscoring a broad innovation strategy that encompasses wellness, connectivity, and mobility.

The Acer FreeSense Ring is a lightweight titanium smart ring designed for 24/7 biometric tracking and AI-driven wellness insights. Crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium alloy, it tracks vital physiological metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, and sleep quality. A companion mobile app analyzes this data to generate personalized wellness insights and suggestions. Users can access all health data without additional subscription fees, making it “a practical and reliable daily wellness companion.”

The Acer AI TransBuds are lightweight and compact earbuds that enable real-time, two-way voice translation across 15 major languages. By connecting to a smartphone or tablet via a plug-in receiver, the device activates AI-based speech recognition and semantic analysis for translation. Notably, only one person needs to wear the earbuds for effective translation, making them suitable for various situations, including casual conversations, business meetings, livestreams, and online study sessions. The earbuds also support live captioning and transcription.

Acer Gadget also showcased its latest e-mobility solutions, expanding its smart urban and outdoor mobility offerings. This includes the Acer eScooter Series 4 Select, Series 5 Select, Predator ES Storm, and Predator ES Thunder, all equipped with 400W to 500W motors and adaptive brake and suspension systems. Riders can monitor performance and manage security settings via the Acer eMobility App. The Predator eRanger, a fat-tire e-bike previously introduced at the Taipei Cycle Show 2025, was also on display, demonstrating Acer Gadget’s commitment to developing versatile mobility solutions.

The Yvolution Electric Scooter promises a fresh take on electric mobility for adults, emphasising vibrancy, safety, and a touch of nostalgia. In this review, we focus on the scooter’s design, performance, features, and overall value to help you decide if it’s the right electric steed for you.

Design and Build Quality
The YES scooter boasts a lightweight design at 15.5 kg, making it easy to manoeuvre and fold for storage or carrying on public transport. While some electric scooters prioritise a sleek, minimalist look, the YES embraces a more playful and colourful aesthetic. It comes in four options such as pink, green, black, and grey – we have reviewed the grey variant.

The scooter’s frame is made from tubular steel, ensuring durability without excessive weight. The YES features solid, 8.5-inch cream-coloured tyres for a puncture-proof ride. Standing strong beneath your feet is a well-crafted maple wood deck outfitted with grippy non-slip tape for added control.

The overall ride is very comfortable and the scooter can handle uneven terrain to a certain extent. The handlebars are positioned at a comfortable height for most riders, and the deck provides ample foot space.

The handlebar conveniently folds, allowing for a compact package that effortlessly slots into a car trunk or accompanies you on a train or bus journey. The scooter features cork grips and offers a luxurious feel while effectively dampening vibrations from the road.

The dashboard and controls are intuitively arranged and boast an elegant design. The thumb control on the right, distinguished by its black colour, serves as the throttle, while the red counterpart on the left functions as the electric brake. And to top it off, there’s even a bell included.

Performance and Range
The YES is equipped with a motor that offers three riding modes. The slowest mode reaches a pedestrian-friendly pace of 6 kmph, ideal for navigating crowded areas or alongside walkers. The mid-range mode bumps it up to a cruisier 18 kmph, suitable for leisurely rides or commuting on dedicated paths. The top speed is rated at 25 kmph aimed at recreational riding in open spaces.

You can control the speed and setting with the single-button interface in the centre of the handlebar. Once the speed is et, the scooter will remember it, even when it is turned off. However, keep in mind that the maximum rider weight capacity is 100 kg, and exceeding this limit will affect performance, especially on inclines.

The scooter’s motor is rated at 350W and it comes with a built-in Lithium Ion battery rated at 36V (7.5Ah). The scooter’s range on a single charge is around 25 kms. However, we clocked around 20 kms on a single charge, which is quite average.

Safety
The Yvolution Electric Scooter boasts two braking systems. The primary, and arguably superior, system is a straightforward friction brake, engaged by pressing down on the rear fender, similar to the brakes found on children’s scooters. The secondary brake is controlled by the left thumb switch, using electricity, albeit with slightly less efficacy compared to the rear friction brake. Both the brakes trigger a rear brake light upon activation.

The YES also features a large front headlight and five points of light in total, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. The wider 8.5-inch tyres offer better shock absorption and stability compared to smaller wheels found on some electric scooters. However, it’s important to remember that, like any electric scooter, the YES is not invincible. Always wear a helmet and follow local regulations for safe riding.

However, one of the things sorely missing is app connectivity, which is found in many competing brands. While this might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, its presence would add a touch of convenience, especially for those using the scooter for commuting.

Who is the Yvolution Electric Scooter For?
The YES is best suited for adult riders looking for a fun and affordable way to get around for short distances. Its lightweight design, three riding modes, and focus on safety make it a good choice for leisure rides, cruising around campuses, or quick errands.

However, those seeking a high-performance scooter for long commutes or tackling hills might be disappointed by the limited range and power. Additionally, riders who crave a minimalist design or advanced features such as app connectivity may want to explore other options.

Verdict
The Yvolution Electric Scooter falls into the price bracket of AED 2499 but is currently available through many outlets at a discount ranging from 30% to 40%. This makes it a tempting option for budget-conscious riders seeking a safe and functional electric scooter for short trips. If you prioritise affordability and a playful design for casual riding, the YES could be a good fit.

EVLAB, the multi-brand electric vehicle start-up, has made adopting a sustainable lifestyle easier for drivers in the UAE with the launch of the EVLAB App, an all-in-one mobility app to rent, lease and host their EVs in the UAE with phase 2 to include buy and sell electric vehicles (EVs) available in the Middle East. EVLAB’s new one-stop marketplace app addresses a growing desire among consumers in the Middle East to make a switch to sustainable mobility solutions. Electric vehicle sales have seen rapid growth in the region, with an increase of 72 per cent during 2020 alone.

In line with the goals of COP28, EVLAB is committed to reducing CO2 emissions and fostering sustainable mobility in the Middle East, striving to play a pivotal role in catalyzing positive transformation. The new platform supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative, which is a national drive to achieve net-zero emissions and make the Emirates the first nation in the MENA region to do so. The app also complements other sustainability initiatives in the country, including the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, which has resulted in the installation of more than 1,000 public charging stations across the UAE.

The EVLAB App allows eco-conscious drivers to browse a unique collection of electric vehicle brands available in the Middle East and take advantage of EVLAB’s expertise to understand the benefits of electric vehicles and make a seamless transition to sustainable transportation. Drivers can consider short-term rentals, leasing or hosting their electric vehicles through a seamless and hassle-free user journey.

The booking process is straightforward with easy navigation using the rent, lease, host and chat tabs on the homepage. Users can filter options based on brand preferences and features, such as performance and range, to save time and effort in finding an electric vehicle that suits their requirements and budget. All the listed cars and their hosts are vetted to guarantee authenticity and quality of service by the owners. In phase 2, electric vehicle owners can also conveniently sell their vehicles on the platform with guidance from EVLAB’s experts at every step of the way.

“With the accelerated pace of climate change, the adoption and transition to e-mobility is inevitable. At EVLAB, our ongoing goal is to consistently reduce emissions, and we are proud to say that we have successfully saved a cumulative total of 76,174 kilograms of CO2 to date and will further reduce with the EVLAB app. The all-in-one EVLAB App complements our EVLAB website with a broader range of functionality and services to make the eco-mobility journey easier for drivers in the region. The app allows users to rent, lease and host their electric vehicles seamlessly in a safe and trusted marketplace. As battery technology is rapidly evolving, the range of electric vehicles today will become obsolete in two to three years, so this model of renting and leasing becomes more attractive than buying. Consumers will have the additional ease of choosing their preferred electric vehicle based on their budget and lifestyle by selecting from a variety of options, including performance, acceleration, range, and charging times,” said Kevin Chalhoub, CEO and Founder of EVLAB.
