Ukrainian WolfStorm electric scooters were transferred to the warriors of the Third Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the assistance of the Come Back Alive Foundation. Before the transfer, the equipment underwent practical tests directly in the brigade, and the final configuration of the scooters took into account the wishes and recommendations of the military, obtained based on the results of the operation of the electric scooters.
Close cooperation between the developers and the warriors of the Third Separate Assault Brigade, which actually preceded the transfer of the electric scooters, made it possible to adapt the equipment to the real needs of modern combat operations. This is not only about individual design solutions, but also about a general understanding of what light mobile electrical equipment should be for operation in difficult combat conditions.

WolfStorm was created as a specialized electric scooter to perform a wide range of tasks: reconnaissance, logistics, operational movement of personnel, delivery of equipment, evacuation as well as work in conditions where mobility, low acoustic visibility and high cross-country ability are important.
One of the features of the design of the WolfStorm electric scooter is the central location of the electric motor, which allows for improved mass distribution, reduced unsprung mass of the wheels and better handling on difficult terrain. The design of the electric scooter also provides for the possibility of operation with high loads and movement over rough terrain.
The electric scooter is equipped with a brushless electric motor with a capacity of up to 8 kW, a 72 V 60 A•h lithium-ion battery and has a range of over 100 km. The maximum speed is over 70 km/h, and the carrying capacity allows for the transport of two servicemen with additional equipment.
Special attention during development was paid to field operation, maintainability and practicality of the design. A number of solutions aimed at reducing unmasking factors during night operations were also implemented.
The manufacturer of WolfStorm is the Ukrainian company "Ukrspetsconsulting", which has many years of experience in creating products for the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The company works on various areas of specialized equipment and equipment, focusing on practical combat experience and the needs of military units.
The transfer of WolfStorm to the Third Assault Brigade is another example of how the interaction of the manufacturer, military and charitable organizations allows for the creation and rapid implementation of equipment adapted to the realities of modern warfare.
Earlier, Defense Express wrote that the use of civilian models of equipment at the front is a forced step of the past stage of the russia-Ukraine war. To be useful and effective, an electric scooter, motorcycle or quad bike must, like any recruit, undergo training and wear military armor
