IVA E-GO S4 in brief

The IVA E-GO S4 is an electric scooter from the Dutch brand IVA Mobility. It is intended for commuting, short trips in the city, and recreational use. Since 2019, an updated version has been available: the IVA E-GO S4 2.0. It has a larger lithium-ion battery, an upgraded motor, and an optimized frame.

The scooter is a direct competitor to well-known names such as the Niu N-Series, Segway, and Vespa Elettrica. The difference lies in the combination: Bosch motor, removable battery, titanium swing arm and a price that is usually lower than international brands. IVA assembles the scooters in-house and also supplies spare parts directly from Dordrecht.

The S4 is available in two versions: a light moped that travels at a maximum of 25 km/h and a light scooter that reaches 45 km/h. Which one you need depends on your driver's license, the license plate, and where you want to ride. We will go into this in more detail later.

Who is the IVA E-GO S4 suitable for?

Commuters who travel 10 to 40 kilometers daily often opt for the 45 km/h version because it can also keep up on provincial roads. Students and city dwellers who drive within the city usually take the moped because it remains welcome on bike paths for longer in many cities. Recreational riders and delivery drivers use the second battery for long rides without recharging.

IVA E-GO S4 2.0 specs: motor, battery, speed and range

The IVA E-GO S4 specs are an important point of comparison with other e-scooters. Below, we list the most important technical specifications.

Motorcycle

The S4 is powered by a Bosch motor with a peak power output of approximately 3,000 watts. Bosch is known for durability and smooth power delivery. The motor is brushless (BLDC) and therefore virtually maintenance-free. Direct drive via the rear hub eliminates gears and chain — fewer parts to wear out.

Battery

By default, you get a removable lithium-ion battery of 48V/26Ah. This type of cell is safer and delivers more consistent power than older lead-acid batteries, even at low temperatures. The battery weighs approximately 12 kg and can be carried indoors using a handle.Charging takes about 5 hours via a standard wall socket.

From model year 2020, the S4 is prepared for a second battery. With two batteries, the range doubles to approximately 160 km. This makes the S4 suitable for commuting where intermediate charging is difficult.

Speed ​​and range

The top speed depends on the version. The light moped version is limited to 25 km/h, while the light scooter version reaches 45 km/h. The average range per full battery is approximately 70 to 80 km, depending on riding style, weight, tire pressure, and ambient temperature. In winter, the range decreases by 10 to 20 percent.

Brakes, suspension and wheels

The S4 has hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. The front fork is hydraulically damped and at the rear there is a titanium swing arm with two suspension struts. This gives the scooter more damping on cobblestones and speed bumps. The wheels are 12 inches — a great compromise between maneuverability and riding comfort.

Standard extras

A comprehensive alarm system comes standard on every S4. Furthermore, you get LED lighting all around, a digital display showing speed, battery level, and mileage, and a USB port under the handlebars. The leg lock engages automatically as soon as you remove the key from the ignition.

IVA E-GO S4 choosing 25 or 45 km/h: rules, license plate and driving license

A frequently asked question: do I choose the IVA E-GO S4 as moped (25 km/h) or moped (45 km/h)? The choice affects the driver's license, registration, helmet requirement, and where you are allowed to drive.

Moped: 25 km/h, blue license plate

A light moped travels at a maximum of 25 km/h and has a blue license plate. You need at least an AM driving licence or a car driving licence obtained before October 1, 2009. In most Dutch cities, light mopeds are still allowed on cycle paths, but major cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht have partially banned this. A helmet has been mandatory in the Netherlands since January 1, 2023, also for light mopeds.

Moped: 45 km/h, yellow license plate

A moped reaches a maximum of 45 km/h and carries a yellow license plate. For this, you need an AM driving licence (theory and practical exam) or a car driving licence issued before October 1, 2009. The moped is required to ride on the road within built-up areas and is permitted on the cycle path outside built-up areas in many cases. A helmet is mandatory.

Which variant suits your situation?

Get a light moped (25 km/h) if you mainly ride within the city and value the bike path. Get a scooter (45 km/h) if you commute on main roads or travel more than 5 km. For detailed advice, read our guide. Buy 45 km/h electric scooter.

Model variants, colors, and price: which S4 suits you?

The IVA E-GO S4 is available in multiple model years, colors, and versions. Below is an overview of what you can currently order.

Model years

The original S4 has been available since 2018. In 2023, IVA introduced the S4 2.0 with a more powerful engine, longer range, and modified fairings. When in doubt, choose the 2.0 — all newer accessories and upgrades are tailored to this model. The original S4 is still available as the entry-level model.

To colour

The S4 2.0 is available in black, matte black, matte green and chameleon (color-changing paint layer). Additionally, you have the standard S4 as white and red. View all variants of the IVA E-GO S4 2.0 collection.

Special editions

The S4 Special features a different saddle (light brown or black leather-look), polished rims, and chrome details. Functionally identical to the standard, but visually distinctive.

Accessories

The most popular accessories for the S4 are: a folding rear rack, front crash bars, a smoked windscreen, a special seat, and the second battery. A top case can be purchased separately and mounted on the rear rack.

VAT E-GO S4 price

The recommended retail price of the IVA E-GO S4 2.0 starts at approximately € 2.999 for the standard black version. Specials are around € 3.299. Offers through IVA and official dealers can be 10 to 15 percent lower. With financing via lease, the monthly rate starts at approximately € 79 for 36 months.

S4 versus S3, S5 and S8

The S3 is the smaller predecessor with a narrower frame, primarily suitable for city riding. The S5 is larger, more powerful, and intended for heavier riders or longer distances. The S8 is the top variant with more power and a heavier battery. For most commuters, the S4 is the best compromise between price and performance.

Maintenance, battery replacement, and parts: what does usage cost?

An electric scooter requires less maintenance than a petrol scooter. However, there are a few points that require attention.

Annual maintenance

Count on an annual check of brakes, tires, lighting, and wiring. Wear parts are mainly brake pads (approx. € 30 per set) and tires (€ 60 to € 90 per piece). A major service costs on average at an IVA dealer € 80 to € 120 per year — a fraction of what a petrol scooter costs.

Replace battery

A lithium-ion battery typically lasts 800 to 1,200 full charge cycles. With daily use of approximately 25 km, that is six to eight years before capacity noticeably decreases. A replacement battery for the IVA E-GO S4 costs approximately € 599 including processing the return of the old one. You can read more details in our blog.

Order parts

IVA delivers original parts via the webshop and via official dealers. Body parts, brakes, tires, batteries, and electronics are in stock. Please provide your serial number with a parts request so that the correct repair is delivered — there are minor differences between pre-2020 and post-2020 models.

To ramp up or not?

Modifying a light moped (25 km/h) to scooter speeds (45 km/h) is technically possible, but legally prohibited without changing the license plate. Anyone caught will receive a fine of € 380 plus seizure. Want it faster? Then buy the moped version directly or upgrade officially via IVA — the insurer and license plate change accordingly.

Insurance

Third-party liability insurance for the S4 starts at approximately € 12 per month (moped) or € 18 per month (moped). Comprehensive coverage is two to three times higher. The ANWB, Univé, and Centraal Beheer offer favorable rates for IVA models because the S4 has low theft and damage statistics.
