The rear motor positioning is great for minimizing some of the weight in the front when lifting on or off of a curb. It's powered by a single 500-watt brushless rear-wheel motor and can get up to speeds of 18.6 mph. Coming in at $699, this responsive scooter has front and rear suspension, 10-inch puncture-proof pneumatic tubeless tires and a handlebar height of 42 inches so there's less hunching over when you ride. The InMotion S1 is an exceptionally comfortable last-mile scooter. I didn't feel hunched over them or pressure on my palms, and the steering column is steady and responsive. When upright, the handlebars are at a perfect height. It easily folded down for transport and, since the handlebars lock from the side of the deck, it's impossible for the latch to come loose while carrying. The scooter's design is clean and sleek, made from aluminum alloy A606 and has an IPX4 rating, which means you're safe from splashing water. It also makes the front lighter when lifting on or off a curb. The scooter is rear-wheel drive when riding, most of the weight is in the rear and this helps maintain traction. It provides information on current speed, battery level and total distance traveled. The LED display on the scooter is clear and visible in direct sunlight. A rear brake light illuminates when engaged and there's an LED headlight with a reflector beneath it. The rear disc brake worked great regardless of the rider's weight. Uphill was another story, though it performed admirably uphill with someone under the weight limit. I exceed the 220-pound limit and it moved effortlessly without any creaking underneath me - at least on level ground. The build quality of the scooter is very good and it weighs 46 pounds. It can also be used to change gears when combined with the plus button. ![]() Another nice feature: if the throttle is held for 10 seconds it enters cruise control where the scooter will maintain its speed until the brakes or throttle are touched. This gives you a 3-mph power assist while you walk the scooter. Holding the minus button puts the scooter in walk mode. Plus, if you try to turn it on and roll it, the motors will slow its movement while making a beeping sound until the passcode is entered. This won't stop someone from pushing the scooter, but the passcode along with a built-in stainless-steel cable and four-digit combination lock are nice to have for quickly locking it up. By default, the scooter requires a three-digit passcode to turn on that is entered using the plus-minus buttons and the power button to confirm. Hold the power button for three seconds to turn the scooter on and off. On the left side of the handlebars is the power button, as well as plus and minus buttons. This also depends on the rider's size, hills and wind conditions. In real-world usage, it was about half of that, which is still pretty good. It can hit a top speed of 20 mph and, according to GoTrax, you can get about 45 miles of travel between charges. The scooter is a kick-and-go, meaning you kick to take off and then use the well-placed thumb throttle on the right side of the handlebar to keep moving. It took approximately four to five hours to charge. Its 10-inch air-filled tires made rides more comfortable than expected considering it doesn't have a suspension. It boasts a 350-watt motor and a 36-volt, 17.5-aH LG lithium-ion battery. With a list price of $900, GoTrax GMax Ultra is the company's top-of-the-line commuter scooter. ![]()
