Compared to traditional roads, the curves of a circuit were chosen to test performance and demonstrate the qualities of this vehicle, in one of the most demanding endurance tests. Overall, we drove for two days in a row in order to verify how many kilometers the electric scooter could cover each day, in two different types of tests, both driven by a team and conducted individually. In total they were traveled 2.588 kilometers in 48 hours, roughly the straight line distance between Barcelona in Spain and Helsinki in Finland.

Camouflaged so as not to reveal its shape until its presentation at EICMA, the new eScooter made it possible to set a new record in the space of 24 hours, covering 1.430 kilometers in the team test. A result more than double that of the previous record. Five expert pilots took turns in a relay featuring a change with each battery change, approximately every 50 minutes. The team included Ivo Viscasillas, collaborator of the Complete Vehicle department of the Research and Development area of ​​SEAT SA, the journalist Judit Florensa and the pilots Cristian Marín, Miquel Viñola and Jordi Gené, engaged on this special occasion on a two-wheeled vehicle and not a racing car. In the following 24 hours, the protagonist was the Italian journalist Valerio Boni, who drove the same electric scooter alone for 1.158 kilometers, with short stops to change the battery just over every hour and some occasional 40-minute breaks, establishing the second record .
