Unagi Unisex's Model One E500

Product Information

The rubberized throttle paddle, located below your right thumb, feels smooth when accelerating, unlike many other throttles that can feel jerky. This level of responsiveness is ideal for beginners, as well as advanced scooter riders. Performance & Safety Speed & Acceleration That new battery powers the dual 500W peak-rated motors up to 20 mph (32 km/h), and for between 12 to 25 miles (20 to 40 km) of range, depending on how fast and hard you ride. However, on smooth roads this scooter is actually a dream to ride. Super-smooth, in fact, which is the reason we’d really only recommend it if your usual every day route is on well-paved roads. Otherwise, it won't be an entirely comfortable experience.

Physically, the Model One Voyager looks every bit like the Model One Classic, which is all well and good. No one needs to reinvent the wheel – unless, of course, the wheels just aren’t cutting it, which is the case here. It also inherits the Classic’s 7.5-inch solid tires, which to their credit, are puncture-proof due to their nature. Pressing the button above the accelerator paddle, on the other hand, performs one of two different functions. Pressing it once displays your current trip and total mileage on the screen. The display is bright enough to read easily, even outside during the day; the controls are ergonomic, and the rubberized grips on the handlebars are high-quality silicon rubber.

So if you mainly commute on fairly nice paths and bike lines, this may be a compromise that you’ll gladly make. The Model One offers no suspension. There are some perks to this as this means that it makes the scooter incredibly light and reduces maintenance processes, but on rough roads, the ride quality is subpar in comparison to other scooters that have suspension.

The thumb throttle is positioned perfectly below your right thumb and has a rubberized action pad. It provides just the right amount of resistance — a bit on the stronger side — and also feels solid and well-constructed.Mode two is ideal for daily riding or commuting and has a top speed of 12 mph. Its balanced throttle means you can keep the scooter at a steady pace.
