I got this scooter because I wanted to start commuting to work in an eco friendly way on my city's trails. I had a lot of worries about how this scooter would work for me- I have a few challenges to my commute and those challenges made me nervous.My city has a LOT of hills. A ton. I'm not small, I'm 230 pounds and after adding in all the stuff I carry, it could go to 240-250. I was concerned about the amount of time I'd be able to spend riding on one charge, because it took about 40 minutes to get to my work on the city's electric scooters (Bird, Veo and Spin). Those were locked to 15mph, with clunky and expensive apps. They usually made it up hills okay, but the huge hill to my street, none could handle. It's the kind of hill that makes you sweat after three steps. I have no idea what incline it is, but it's insane. I have had CARS stall out a bit, roll backwards etc at the stop sign at the top.This scooter makes quick work of that massive hill. It's so fast. On a full charge, it can go 15mph up the insane hill. On 20% battery, it goes about 10mph. So far I've never had an issue with it making it up ANY hill. This is with me being 230, and carrying 20 ADDITIONAL pounds.My commute, which was 40 minutes before, is now 30 minutes thanks to the extra speed. Highest I've pushed this scooter using acceleration on flat ground is 22mph, but going down hills it has recorded faster. I am usually about 60% charge after the 30 minute trip to work when I gun it and drive fast when I have the opportunity. If I drive miss daisy, and stick to the speed limit of 15mph, it is typically about 75% charge. I like that you can make it more efficient for speed OR battery life.This means, I can drive to work and back without ever charging it... a huge success.As soon as I kick off, it accelerates with me. By far the fastest to pick up on my own movement compared to the city scooters. This makes a difference when waiting for traffic- I want to be able to gun it as soon as a car stops for me at a light, lol.Great handling around curves. The brakes are definitely acceptable. With scooters you don't want the breaks to work TOO well, since sudden stops can catapult you over the handlebars, and the app gives you choices about how effective you want them to be. I haven't experimented with this much, so I can't attest to how less or more powerful breaks affect the riding experience.I really like the way the acceleration works. It's super intuitive and once again, better than city scooters. It knows when I want to coast. It knows when I want to gun it. It's sensitive enough to let me follow walking people politely for a time. First couple days I stuck with the limited speed mode, but after getting more confident I now just keep it at the mode that gives more choices. I feel more safe on roads knowing I can get up to 22mph, and it's brilliant for the paved trails.I do find it to be rather heavy and cumbersome, I'm female and I do some bodybuilding, but I just have to get stronger. The option to clip it to itself makes it slightly less cumbersome but only in some situations.Build quality, highly satisfied. It feels solid, and premium. This is my new baby and I love it lol.

Update #2 +1 star: I've ridden this everywhere--horrible unmaintained roads, dirt roads and trap rock parking lots. It runs like a champ. I also got it to go 21 mph in sport mode for a moment before it gets capped. It performs better than stated, climbing hills above the stated maximum angle. The downside is that its range is actually about 15 miles if you granny it. I ran it full-tilt during a test trip to see what the range would be at the capped maximum of 20 mph. The trip was a little over 5 miles and the remaining charge was about 50%. That means it has a range of 10 miles if you choose to use the 'cruising' speed. Unfortunately that makes it useless for me. If I made a single trip downtown (6 miles), I would kill the battery on the way back and have to walk it home for the remaining two miles.I have revised this review based on some lengthy trips with this e-scooter, where I pushed it to see how it works close to its limits. The original post was just something I threw together in a few minutes, just after several bad experiences.Note: Since this was posted, Inmotion offered me a full refund for the scooter. While the gesture was appreciated, I'm not going to return a scooter with 45+ miles on it. It's quite used at this point. Also this is not the only Inmotion product I own. I hope a little truthful review writing will make my next Inmotion product purchase experience better. The product is actually good. The price could be better. The documentation just needs to exist--I don't care if there are mispellings.I am a different type of PEV customer. Most PEVs are marketed only to enthusiatists, and the companies who sell those PEVs give them preferential treatment because those people are likely content creators. My interest is practical. I have no interest breaking traffic laws. I am showing other people who are on the road that PEV drivers are not a nuisance. I am safety-minded, and Inmotion seems to have an idea about that.This review is broken into three parts. The good, the bad and the ugly.* Good *It was easy get out for the box and put it together. It's easily folded and stowed. It's powerful, yet can be lifted and put on the back of pickup truck bed with one hand. (Mine is about 55 pounds.) Super clean layout of the controls, and aside from the useless rear fender and the missing turn signals, it's one slick powered board. The kickstand could be better, but at least it has one. (And it has not broken, despite my unintentional abuse.)I have to point out that the assembly was perfect. No loose bolts, missing parts or other defects. Not a stray fingerprint anywhere. Both tires were correctly inflated, and neither has lost any pressure from the day I first rode it. This is unheard of with PEVs, where a new purchase always requires one Schrader valve tool, one bottle of tire Slime, and a couple of Youtube videos.I had no problems with charging. Thankfully it comes with a battery-friendly, fire-avoiding slow charger. To answer the question that someone will inevitably ask: Yes, it balances the batteries during charging. I suggest putting the charger on a brick or a thick stone, because it will get hot. A hot charger is understandable. A hot battery case means you should unplug the scooter and take it outside. (Also: NEVER charge or store the scooter inside your living space. I can't believe that there are people who do this. Do you gas up your lawn tractor and chainsaw and start them in your kitchen?)I admit I had a lot of trouble figuring how it behaves until I did some speed tests, and messed with all the options in the app. Yes, I was critical about it at first, but now I kind of get what they're aiming for. In the interest of safety, InMotion ships the unit with three options enabled: Rolling start, 25 kph speed clamp and a non-linear throttle. Once you figure out that it has a newbie throttle for the first two-thirds of the control, and get it above 10 mph, you'll see where this PEV shines. It's weird throttle, but once you get the hang of it, you can push those dual motors like they're meant to be pushed.This is why I was getting stuck on some hills. I didn't realize that the throttle works that way. Where I live, it's basically Billygoat Mountain from the North, East South and West. I haven't tested all the roads, but the worst ones of the lot were defeated by the Climber--at 12 mph or faster, no less!* The Bad *The retail price of this model was $1,000. That is very steep for a bare-bones commuter ride--no suspension, no signal lights, and no useful headlight. Probably owing to the dual motors, the range could be better. Twenty miles is not bad--especially for the weight--but it makes daily charging an unavoidable task. More charging with a fast charger shortens battery life and increases the chance of fire. Speaking of batteries, an expensive e-scooter should have a replaceable battery and a service manual to show how to swap it. Boo.It was DRM-locked and useless out of the box, and you have to install a sketchy app on your phone to enable it. It's billed as an adult-sized scooter, but the deck is small--even for a compact model. I don't have large feet, and I can't fit them end-to-end on the deck.There is only one brake, the pad is tiny, the rotor is thin, and it overheats very quickly. Plus there are no brake pads available for sale on the MyInMotion store. Very cheap for a supposedly premium scooter. The brake lever can't be rotated to the correct position because of how it's made. Steering is squirrely, and there is too much arc. I realize that it makes it easier to move it into tight spots, but it takes a special technique using your own body to dampen the steering. Is this an problem with all scooters that don't have a decent rake angle? Maybe it's not a flaw in the InMotion product, but just a downside of having a compact scooter?* The Ugly *No sooner than I bought this model than it disappeared off Inmotion's website. Also can't find parts for it. Very concerning for the parts that wear, such as brake pads, rotors, batteries, soft textured plastics, tires and tubes. I also had problems with the shipped firmware, and there was no support available. I had to figure out how to reset the display computer and get the scooter to receive firmware updates again. There were no useful troubleshooting procedures in the manual, no KBs on the website and the forums were 404. Most people wouldn't do what I did to make the product work again. Pretty awful way to introduce the company to a new buyer. There is no information about what the features are or how they work. I just guessed.Inmotion have safety features that competitors lack, so I'm stumped why the rear fender has a no-step warning. Putting your non-dominant foot on the rear mud guard is emergency braking 101 with a scooter. Even if it doesn't have a tire brake, it's a perfectly-placed spot to put your weight while stopping. Speaking of the rear fender, there are no signal lights (on a commuter ride??) or even brackets for signal lights, or a rear registration plate mount.Also the top speed is only 80% of the claimed maximum. That is a substantial amount of specification inflation.

Pros: best sleeper scooter for torque and acceleration! So much fun!It’s got a great range and it feels really nimbleIt can climb insane slopes, it’s astonishing how easily it makes work of hills. Basically slopes are no longer even a factor in planning rides. And the range is good, 10 miles if you do a lot of launches, 12-15 miles in sport for my riding style, it’ll do 23 mph sustained on full and 19 30% battery and below and probably double the range in dynamic from a smoother acceleration profile. I’ll normally go out for an hour or so and have battery to spare, it does lose a little zip around 30% battery but not much. I picked up a 5amp charger and it was worth it, half’s the charging time to 4.5hrCons: bit one. no shocks, get ready to feel every bump, and if you want to ride in the grass, you better be ready for a bull ride, upside is you do get a workout despite not getting winded and I can ride in 90-100 degrees because of the airflow with enough water.Overall it’s the most fun purchase I’ve ever made, it’s like a land jet ski, it’s almost silent, and has a hilarious little bell, it’s built like a real vehicle and not a toy, with headlights taillights ok breaks for the power, but they can be overwhelmed if you underestimate how quick it is and breaking distance, you will Superman dive to the ground. it puts a smile my face and on everyone I pass too because it’s so absurd, has the cutest bell and is probably the best sleeper scooter around
