Drive on any surface! With its full suspension, the IO HAWK Exit-Cross doesn’t shy away from stunts and jumps. At the same time, the front and rear shock absorbers ensure an especially comfortable ride. The Exit-Cross is protected against wet weather according to IP54 and has an output of some 500 watts. With its powerful 48 volt battery, it can handle gradients of up to 20 degrees with ease. An e-scooter of the superlatives.
In version 2.0 of its successful model of e-scooter, the IO HAWK Exit-Cross, IO HAWK, the inventor of the hoverboard, has once again proven itself to be one of the best in several tests. A total of three different versions are available: Entry, Premium and Exclusive. All versions have an even greater range of features than the previous version 1.6., which was already one of the best four e-scooters in Germany. With the Exit-Cross Premium version, you get a lot more than you do with the low priced Entry version.
What makes the Exit-Cross Premium so interesting:
- Powerful 500 watt motor
- 15.6 Ah battery, range of up to 52 km
- Hydraulic brakes at rear
- 2 shock absorbers at the front and rear
- Extra wide footboard (approx. 22 cm) for secure positioning
- Cross tyres for every surface
- LED lights and indicators
Off the road – and how!
The Exit-Cross Premium weighs some 22kg, but it also has plenty of power. The 500 watt rear wheel motor provides plenty of drive and can cope with gradients of up to 20 degrees. The footboard is almost twice as wide as that of a conventional e-scooter and provides for maximum hold. The built-in shock absorbers cushion plenty of bumps. In combination with the 10-inch cross tyres, you get a genuine off-road feeling and the best grip, even on wet roads. Speaking of weather: With its IP54 certification and sturdy design, this e-scooter can also be used in rainy weather or even snow. Two mechanical disc brakes ensure decent deceleration. The Premium version features a mechanical disc brake at the front and a fully-hydraulic disc brake at the rear.
Let there be light!
IO HAWK has also done a great job with the lights on the Exit-Cross. All the models have bright LED lighting at the front and rear. The Entry and Premium models also have an additional brake light for greater road safety. The indicators in the handlebars have finally solved the problem of one-handed turning in traffic.
Entry, Premium and Exclusive – the finer points of difference
The battery capacity is a decisive factor! While the Premium and Exclusive get a full 748.8 Wh and a range of up to 52 km from the 48 V battery, with the Entry version, only the small variant, with 499.2 Wh and 30 km is available. There's an important difference with the brakes as well: In comparison with the mechanical disc brakes on the Entry model, the Premium model has one hydraulic disc brake and the Exclusive model two. The Exclusive version in particular, comes with countless additional features: These include, for example, the improved front suspension, a large colour display, GPS positioning, an immobiliser, push function and much more.
Conclusion: If you’re looking for a high-end off-road e-scooter, you’ll find it with the Exit-Cross. Compared with the Entry version, the Premium version also comes with a much larger battery, along with other great features. The 15.6 Ah batteries ensure a range of up to 52 km. Even more features are only available in the Exclusive version.

Feedback from the scene
www.ntv.de (31.07.2019): "The IO Hawk Exit Cross likes the dirt. ....."The IO-Hawk scooter is also tough thanks to its effective shock absorbers and thick tyres with their deep tread. Equipped in this way, you can't just skip over meadows, gravel or sandy tracks without any problems. With the Exit Cross, you can even drive pretty easily on Berlin's worst cobblestone streets, while those driving rental scooter drivers have to put up with the shakes."
www.adac.de (ADAC e-scooter test from 12.11.2019): "Quality comes at a price – grade 2.5, i.e. good! 3rd place for the Exit-Cross in the big e-scooter test by ADAC."
Grip, the motor magazine (RTL II): "Test winner! The 1A doesn’t just have the best battery range, it also has the price-performance ratio and it's great looking."
scooter-bible.de (test): "This e-scooter is something very special. The Exit Cross is ideal for fans of e-scooters who don't just drive over perfect tarmac, but also go off-road."
www.stern.de: "The IO Hawk Exit-Cross – an e-scooter which is great on surfaces both rough and smooth. With its wide rubber tyres, it’s great for driving on roads and cycle paths – but it also offers much more fun, as the Hawk can also take its driver over dirt tracks, gravel roads and through parks."
