I INMOTIONS1 Adults Electric Scooter for Big Guys, Max Range 59 Miles, Max Speed 18.6 MPH, Front and Rear Wheel Suspensions 10" Pneumatic Tires, Long Deck, Folding Commuting Electric Kick Scooter

The S1 is an eyecatcher, the underglow and gyro turn signaling at night is so cool! It turns freely which i dislike compared to the Climber whose steering wants to center itself (probably because of the two-wheel drive on the Climber) Riding is really fun, and smooth (for a scooter.. compared to an ebike with shocks you will be disappointed but it's half the price and more liberating and engaging of a ride imo), and feels safe. It is the perfect scooter if you want to hop on and ride, go pretty fast, cruise sidewalks, paved trails, and bike lanes, and go anywhere a bicycle can on-road. But if you want a more fun ride at the cost of ride quality, size, and underflow get the Climber.I am super impressed by Inmotion's scooters and initially got the Climber upon recommendation from the freshly charged YouTube channel, now this is where the two have very different roles when I ride them. Both lean and turn great, are built like real vehicles, and are worth the money. But I use them very differently.the S1 has a top speed of almost 19mph and has a big frame, great breaks, and pretty good power (probably 500w or maybe 750w peak... not 1000w as they advertise) so it has enough power, and it's very hard to get in a situation where it feels dangerous to ride if you follow common sense. I liken it to a more comfortable motorcycle, it's pretty, its ride quality is about as good as possible for a scooter and it has all the bells and whistles. When I don't want to blow off steam I ride this.The Climber on the other hand has dual 750w motors, lauches feel like a tesla plad or something, top speed of 23 sustained, which is almost too fast, and has easily double the torque and power. It's a smaller, more nimble frame, I wouldn't go doing tricks on it but it feels more like a tool, like a BMX bike, it has very responsive and precise turning and handling, and a huge pro is the steering will lock toward the center, and I believe the resistance to turn handlebars get harder to turn as you go faster, this could be explained by momentum, it is noticeably easier to steer than the s1, but you feel every bump. it doesn't hold your hand, it's fast and aggressive, and you need to be careful of when you use the full power of this, one mistake at 23mph and you're taking quite the tumble, it's thrilling, but can be dangerous, so be confident and find smooth trails when in sport mode, I wouldn't recommend the climber for commuting unless you like your wrists hurting though,overall the S1 is probably the best commuter/cruising scooter out there and has the power to back it up, but it is really complemented by the Climber as well, I thought I'd be choosing one or the other, but I enjoy both too much!

*The Good*So i use this scooter to commute to work daily aboard the Metrolink and this thing is great. It does not take up much space aboard and since it folds i take it with me to a regular seat when there is no room in the bike car. This thing is not the lightest but if your average built you should not have any issues carrying it into a bus or a train or putting it inside your car. I am 6’ 7” 300LBS and its able to get me up to 18MPH on a fresh charge for the first 4 to 5 miles on a relatively flat surface after that it drops a bit. If your lighter you will probably get more out of it. The handle bar height is actually pretty good for a tall person, its probably the most comfortable that i have found. This thing does not go over its top speed of 18.7MPH it will slow you down even going down hill to maintain that speed which is a good thing.Tires i love the fact that it uses no inner tube and the tire are fairly puncture resistant i have gotten a couple of flats after about 8 months of riding, considering putting solid tires on this.The Phone app it comes with is okay just lets you control the lights on the scooter and the feature i love is it locks the wheels so if someone tries to take it they literally have to drag it away or carry it.*Below - The not bad but can use improvement*This scooter is advertised for big people and i can see that based on the height of the handle bar but it can use a little bit more space on the deck. I wear size 15 extra extra wide shoe and i wish i had a little bit more deck space or somewhere i could rest my foot positioned in the back. Right now i need to rest it in the back fender specially for longer trips.The brakes could be a little better such as disk brakes with a little bit more stopping power as there has been a couple times that i had to slam on the brakes and it did not do well stopping. For gradual slowing down it does okay.Bottom skid plate the protects the battery can use some beefing up as i had accidentally bottomed out the scooter on an angled side walk and a speed bump and i could just here the plastic crackSide Screw Covers - The silicone side screw covers fell off really easily, i lost one side and the other side was falling so i just took them off.Support - I did have to send the scooter in for repair after the electronic brake started making a grinding noise after a few months of use, they where very responsive to support request via email, but it did take them a while (At least a month) to make the repair and send it back to me once they received it so i hope this improves in the future.Overall - Its a very good commuting / Cruising scooter thats is a very good value and built quality for the money. No product is perfect but i hope they do listen to customer feedback so future releases are even better than this

I have had this scooter for several months now and am redoing this review to try to cut to the chase with all that I have learned:I. Pros: a. True tall person scooter. I am 6'7" and am comfortable riding this scooter. b. Fits well into the commuter scooter space. I take this on mass transit all of the time. c. I regularly get comments about the scooter looking like a nice scooter. d. The range is good. You need very specific parameters to possibly eek out what they say is possible, but push the size and speed limits of this scooter and the range is still very respectable. e. I kind of like the push start for safety reasons. When I went through reviews on other scooters where they either didn't have a push start feature or it was disabled, the reviewers keep messing up and either nearly or slightly injuring themselves, and these are seasoned riders, by accidentally bumping the throttle before they are ready to go. The push start on this scooter is at a low speed, so give it a normal push send off and then the throttle engages. f. The lighting on this scooter is great and innovative. People can see you well at night and you can see what is in front of you well at night. The turn signals are innovative in that you just lean the scooter over and it automatically engages the turn signals. You don't normally signal on a scooter like you would on a bicycle because on a bicycle you have more stability when sticking out your arm because you are normally sitting down when you do this where on a scooter you are normally standing and using your hands to keep you from falling off of the scooter. So take a hand off of the handlebars to signal a turn and that can easily become how you turn the handlebars the wrong way as you try to stabilize your body on the scooter and go down. So just lean with both hands firmly on the handlebars and the turn signal turns on is very nice and a safe way to signal.II. Cons: a. Not a super fast scooter. This is a commuter scooter and is designed more to obey local speed limits for scooters. It still gets the job done, especially when you mix with mass transit for longer trips. b. While a good design overall, the QA on the scooter could be better. It is really mainly some very fixable things that are not quite right as in you take matters into your own hands, you can make this be a good scooter. c. The Bluetooth is rather finicky on this thing. Not completely broken, but gets to be a hassle. A lot of this seems to be the phone app itself, but I also partly blame the scooter firmware. d. While probably not unique to this scooter, it does heat up rather quickly as in hot hub motor and what seems to be associated throttling as in power output ratchets down as the hub motor gets hotter and hotter. I have even been having some issues with it starting in ECO mode, which I will call granny mode from here on out. More recently on colder days I have seen it come up in regular drive mode and even sport mode at night. It would be really nice if there was a dual hub motor version of this scooter with suspension and all. Dual motor scooters tend to hill climb a lot better as they have twice the surface area for the hub motors to cool when there are two of them.e. While not unique to this scooter at all, I would really like an LFP battery option. After only a 1/2 year of daily beater use, the effective battery capacity seems to have dropped by around 25%. The thing is standard Lithium-ion batteries need special pampering to get them to last. You will see this special pampering in a Tesla car, even your phone app for the Tesla will have you set the max charge to 80% by default because it makes a huge difference in battery life, but not in a scooter like this where you plug it in and it will charge until it gets to 100%, no controls over it. This special pampering (and this also gets into things like temperature control of the battery pack) is the difference between lasting many years and being dead within a year or two. LFP is a battery chemistry that mainly needs a modest BMS that keeps the battery cells from over-volting and under-volting and you can easily use it as your daily beater for a decade or two. You are talking a whole order of magnitude longer life. I put together an electric bike back in 2009 and went out of my way to get an LFP battery for it and it turned out to be a very good chemistry. Not hard at all to get LFP to last in an e-bike or e-scooter with much more basic battery management than a Tesla car.III. Here is the skinny on what you need to do to make this a good scooter and get the most out of it: a. Take out a number of bolts around the scooter and especially on the rear suspension and Loctite the bolts in place. The bolts will just shake out if you don't do this. Scooters tend to not have redundant bolts, so any one shaking lose and it is the end of your day. Maybe they have fixed this QA issue by now, but it wasn't fixed for my scooter purchased several months before writing this. b. Replace the rear fender with a 3rd party one available on Amazon. While this is another QA issue that may have been fixed by now, the original fender for my scooter was made with a cheap, brittle plastic that just split wide open with the slightest tap. The 3rd party rear fender I got off of Amazon is made with a higher quality rubbery plastic that just snaps back into shape when it gets bumped like nothing happened time and time again. c. Tighten down the front brake. I thought the front brake sucked because there were no instructions on how to adjust it and I didn't immediately figure out how to do it and searches came up empty. What you need to do is look at the front wheel where the brake cable meets up with the brake. There is a little lever arm resting on a thumb screw. The lever arm to the drum brake needs to be lifted up and then the thumb screw on the bottom can be turned to tighten the brakes up. Without this adjustment, the front brake is dangerously weak. You want it to engage about mid way down so as to give a chance for the electronic regenerative brake to engage in the back first so you can gracefully do regenerative braking, but then when you need to stop in a hurry / going down a steep hill, your front drum brake will grip down and stop the scooter very effectively. d. Getting back to Loctiting bolts down, the washers on the rear suspension axis shaft are kind of on the small side. The replacement axis shaft I got after the original had the bolt shake loose and fall out, leading to the shaft getting bent as it started to fall out came with washers that were too small and so the replacement shaft slide out with the bolts still in place and also got bent. So the next replacement shaft I put on washers from the local hardware store instead of just relying on the manufacturer washers and that did the trick. Now the rear suspension is holding together with both Loctite and slightly bigger washers from the local hardware store. e. Adjust the front suspension pre-load to be better suited for my size. There are simple turn knobs at the top of the suspension. Gotta turn these a few rotations until the shocks float nicely over the bumps instead of bottoming out. f. The "puncture resistant" tubeless tires are thick and need to have the pressure carefully measured with a gauge. If you just try a quick feel test, you will get it wrong, at least the first time because a lot of the initial resistance is just the tires are really thick, not that they have air in them. You really need to get them up to pressure in order to have a safe ride and also to keep the rims from getting beat up from hitting the bumps in the road because the flat tires do flex on the bumps enough to do this. g. I have tried various tire sealants in the back tire and have ultimately failed to keep the tire from going flat. I ultimately ended up putting an airless tire on the back. This is really hard to do and I ended up bringing it to an electric bike shop where someone had a specialized tool to do the job. It is crazy hard trying to get an airless tire on these rims on your own without the specialized tooling beyond what most anybody would have. For the front tire, it never gets punctured all the way through, so I have kept it on. I have added tire sealant to the front tire and that has helped to make it far less often I need to pump up the tire. h. Try to avoid big hills on this scooter. The thing I think is happening is that rear motor gets very hot and then the scooter tries thermally throttle it. Then of course the scooter slows down or even stalls on the hill. This is why dual motor scooters exist as you have more effective area to spread the heat load of climbing across. i. Along what I think is this thermal throttle route, I have been having trouble as of late where the scooter keeps coming up in Granny mode. So I have been having to go into the phone app time and time again and remember I said this is a finicky, buggy ordeal, and set it into the right driving mode. There are two usable modes, regular 'D' drive mode, which caps you at 15 mph and has a somewhat gentler acceleration and 'S' sport mode. Granny mode, the mode that keeps coming up, at least when it is not especially cool or cold out, is so weak, I keep having to put my foot out after the initial push start in order to not fall over when I push start on perfectly level ground.

I bought this to commute to the train and to the office from the train. Great scooter, entirely fit for purpose. I live in Chicago and the roads are pretty rough, the suspension makes for a really comfortable ride. It is heavy. I can one hand it without issue but I am big and strong. I think it might be an issue for some people. My boss jokingly said she could use it for deadlift workouts. It's easy to get on and off the train and fold. It isn't particularly fast in eco or D mode, in S it's a little more torquey but is entirely manageable. The top speed is really not that fast. Even with the governor off it tops out at a little over 18 mph, which nowadays is nothing really. Other people have ridden it around the office with no experience on it which demonstrates its manageability. The app works great, everything is easy on iOS. All in all I would totally buy it again.

For years now, I’ve been riding e scooters up and down NYC more than my car with my toddler in tow using installed mini handlebars…ALWAYS. I’ve ran through a fair amount of segways which were ok but the distance I’d get on the batteries were always so disappointing. I’m talking I’d get maybe 6 miles on an advertised “18”. We’ve had to hit the pavement one too many times on them. I’d always regret grabbing groceries while transporting on those as the extra weight would tank battery life, so thus, my reason for the S1 purchase. It was an eerie start but first the pros…- nice pick up at first go- feels safe (although the small broken pieces that came in the box still give me anxiety as to how important they are…see cons)- fun lights…wierd but still fun turn signals (it’s like the signals are constantly on no matter how minute the lean is).- def comfy for big and tall which my toddler and I can both stand comfortably and then some- sturdy design (wish all these producers would spring for a dang cup holder! Is it such a cost burden to add such a useful accessory? It holds drinks and Bluetooth speakers which are my 2 scooter necessities. js)- the braking seemed ok- battery life far exceeded all of my Segway experiences this farWhy I will be,unfortunately, still on the market for escooter…-upon opening package, there were loose small parts and I don’t know any better as to if something is missing- there were small broken parts that look important but what do I know🤷🏻‍♀️ safety issue or no?- I may have received a refurb vs new by the amount of visible wear- lackluster assembly instructions ( I follow directions to a T and being unfamiliar to the exact components of a scooter, confusion set because part of my unit was already put together ( stem, bearings, gasket) but the directions state to get parts and assemble. So here I am rummaging through the loose parts not finding what is pictured thinking pieces are missing, but all along it was completed, mostly). This to me is a small but huge annoying detail- marry the directions to the product. Period.- unique power cord is annoying due to a specific way to plug vs a round tip just going in. That extra few seconds of bending and spinning the top to fit SUCKS and is so unnecessary- Wish the lights scheme wasnt wholly red and blue. Makes me feel “Paul Blart-ish” when we ride. No color options available (like Segway had on one of my former rides)- huge deciding factor for me: sport performance craps out at 3 bars left of power ( sport mode is cool at 4-5 but at 3 and below👎🏽) drives at the “normal” rate from 3 bars down. Other scooters wait until a bar and a half to two before doing tanking🤷🏻‍♀️- riding flat perfect smooth road you’ll never reach advertised max speed of 18mph. 15/16 is the real cap. It’s still a good mph but I wanted “more” being a little more advanced of a rider. I just can’t forgive that large of a lacking.- the feel on the brakes is so inconsistent. You can never gauge how intense or not they’ll be which is important to me because I tell my daughter to hang tight if I know I’m going to dig in and feel it but sometimes it’s smooth and others it’s jagged (🤷🏻‍♀️)All in all, do not mistake this scooter for a more “advanced” performance. It is very much a suped up beginner. Which is not bad If that is what you’re looking for. Its ideal in that situation. If you’re past the beginner stage looking for the next step…keep shopping. I wish I would’ve had this as my first scooter and went from there. Id have a completely different tone on the review. I was prepared to spend a little more for what I needed and the advertising and reviews said it was what I was looking for at a great price, but naw. Pricing is right on for this product. I wouldn’t feel at a loss if this is what I was actually looking for but, like I stated, I wanted more out of my next scooter.
