What pure electric mobility scooter do you recommend under 100k? Usually when I see such questions and needs, I would recommend the BYD Seagull. As a new generation of mainstream mobility scooter, it does come with 12 standard features across the board, which is still very advantageous in its class.
In fact, whether a car is good or not, you can tell by its sales. Like BYD Seagull it was launched in China in April 2023, nine months cumulative sales exceeded 280,000 units. At the same time, BYD Seagull for two consecutive months won the sedan monthly sales champion, and for four consecutive months won the pure electric sedan monthly sales champion, at the same time in December sales were more than 50,000 units, which is really a veritable champion model.
Appearance Style
Today we will see why it can get such excellent sales results? First of all, BYD Seagull’s entire shape style it is not like many small cars to create a rounded and lovely shape instead of using a lot of sharp lines so that people at first glance look quite sharp and dynamic. The front hood and the front windshield form an angle extending backward, with the side waistline, and waistline from the front door extended to the C-pillar position, the whole shape looks very dynamic, the whole looks like a flying seagull is a swooping state.
BYD Seagull mid-range and above will be equipped with 16-inch aluminium alloy wheels, there is also a detail that is the whole system standard equipped with front ventilated discs and rear disc brakes, which in the same class is also a relatively rare configuration. In addition, thanks to the e platform 3.0, body size close to 3.8m, wheelbase 2.5m, and axis length ratio of 66.1%, then this layout structure guarantees space at the same time ensuring that the body size is small enough, very suitable for use in urban environments, parking is also convenient.
BYD Seagull rear end styling
The rear part of the car modelling style with the car head echoes the feeling. Tail lamps using the current popular penetrating LED light belt, ignition effect is also good, high recognition. Boot space, although the overall size is not big, the boot empty performance is still quite big, like the regular volume putting two suitcases is very easy. Even if you go to the supermarket shopping and camping, the loading capacity of the boot is not a problem at all. Of course, if you feel that the trunk is not big enough, you can have the backrest of the trunk seat can be extended to 930L.
BYD Seagull Interior
In terms of interior, the Seagull has three interior colours: light sea blue, deep sea blue and dune pink, which of course is a different matching scheme from the exterior. The whole interior style of BYD Seagull looks more fashionable and young, it adopts a lot of marine aesthetic design concepts, and you can see a lot of marine elements.
Other configurations Seagull also has features like this EPB electronic parking brake, NFC key, electric heating of exterior mirrors, etc. It can be said that BYD Seagull’s configurations are also very competitive within its class.
Dynamic behaviour
Range-wise the Seagull has two versions to choose from, 305km and 405km, that both use BYD’s blade batteries at the same time, so there’s no need to worry in terms of safety. Charging is standard with DC fast charging, half an hour can charge from 30% to 80%. Support DC fast charging after the overall is much more convenient, it is worth one is the BYD seagull has VTOL external discharge function, this function is very practical for you to go camping or on excursions when you need an external power supply.
Power seagull with a 55kw motor, daily driving power output is strong enough, seagull this car speed up or fast enough, even if you overtake on the ring road are very easy. BYD Seagull’s top speed mileage is 130km/h, so running on the highway is no problem at all.
BYD Seagull Power Realisation
Kinetic energy recovery strength it is standard and larger two can choose, when you drive with the standard mode, from the whole feeling point of view is actually similar to the petrol car, and lifting the door after there is no obvious sense of drag, very smooth and quite natural. Although the body of the Seagull is small, the chassis is very stable. The proportion of high-strength steel used in the white body of the Seagull reaches 61% and comes standard with four airbags and an electronic body stability system. The flying version also increases the front side airbags, and configuration security at the same price in the same class temperature has a certain advantage.
With regard to power consumption and range, the mileage achievement rate in sub-zero weather is about 81%, which is very good compared to other trolleys in the same class, and people who know BYD know that its trolley performance is very good. In terms of power consumption, normal winter driving on the ring road with air conditioning power consumption is 11kwh, and in autumn without air conditioning in 10kwh, this power consumption can be said to be very good for the performance of small cars.

You can feel the car’s space, power, and range, including the performance of safety performance is very outstanding.
