i picked one up for Seattle. The 23mph let's me stay in the bike lanes (and the throttle actually lets you fine tune your speed). Every hill I can find has been tackled with zero issues. Really pleased with my little friend.
@garteaga482 Borked the fender and no replacement parts available. In retrospect, I may have also had regen braking set to 100 (use 75 now) making it perilous in winter. Got $900 refund and bought $600 replacement. If you live in Seattle buy one.
Best review of this scooter I have found yet. Thanks for the thorough review and testing. As a consumer I really appreciate the time and production you put into it. Cheers from Canada.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Lightish weight, cheapish, water resistant, relatively maintenance-free drum brakes, simple design, average range and can get up the steep hills of the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. I wish we had a distributor here in Australia.
@@stevepetrowske Thanks for pointing that out. What a shame. I thought it was my perfect scooter on paper. I'm not a fan of disc brakes. I've spent too much time and money maintaining them on bikes and cars. I know they are not as effective though.
Fantastic review. We’ve got lots of steep hills in my neighborhood here in southeastern Pennsylvania, and your review put me over the top to order one. I was leaning towards the S1 for the greater range and suspension, but the comparison between the Hillclimber and the 500 watt scooter on the hill climb really slammed home the performance difference between the two. Thanks for this really well done review. Can’t wait to try it out in a few days when it gets delivered. 👍👍
I was looking at Apollo City Pro and this Climber as well for West Coast Canada. How is the City Pro holding up to the rain for you? I’m on the island so also need good water resistance. Thanks.
@@RIDEGLIDE IF I HAD 1500 EUROS TO SPEND ON AN single Or DUAL MOTOR E SCOOTER, powerful enough to take hills and a load of 160 kg , what do u recommend
Great review. I totally agree with you on the fact that, electric scooters need dual motors. I live in a hilly area in the UK, and my Apollo Phantom is great. Beautiful natural light outside, in that review.
Very nice review. Are you sure it's full waterproof. I mean to say u drove in puddle n light rain and u never updated what happened after scooter was wet n did u charge after that if yes was their an issue bcz of wetness Please reply me if this inmotion climber is really ip67. Means full scooter is waterproof not only battery packs but even other wiring n motors
Thanks. The scooter was fine after the tests but its not fully waterproof, just water resistant to a decent standard. I don't know of any scooter that is fully waterproof currently on the market!
@@RIDEGLIDE what is decent standard according to u? Guy made video on utube claiming inmotion climber withstand Seattle rain all day all year My concern is I hv to drive 4 miles back n forth work to home and it rains every other day for couple of month and rain is like not downpour but more then drizzle If I buy will inmotion climber be perfect for me I mean to say even if rain stop can it be OK with wet road n tarmac I will not drive or go in puddle Please reply in details
Really similar. Both easy to use and great waterproofing. Climber is better for acceleration, top speed and hills whereas the S1 has a larger deck and suspension 👍👍
@@RIDEGLIDE I was able to test both on a hill similar to where I live. S1 made it but struggled. Climber did it at 24kph. Wow! So I now own a Climber :).... Also, i felt more stable on the Climber. Suspension isn't that big a deal for me. I'm not taking it off road and bumps were not that bad - i can live with that. Range is less obviously, but i liken it to a car with a 40 litre tank vs a 60 litre tank. They both chew juice just one needs filling more often but it still costs the same per litre.... For me the zero start was also a big item, something i don't think the S1 has. But the acceleration on the Climber is also a safer thing imo.... Where i live i have so far not even needed to take the Climber into Sport mode for my hills, nor can i use that speed legally in the public space. So 25kkph is fine for me for most things... Only put 30 clicks on it so far. 20 of those in a single round trip and no complaints. My only gripe is Eco needs to be 12kph not 6. Else i am very pleased with it..... I have 33% battery left and calculate a real world range of a tad over 40km in my area. I am six two and 85kg for those who wonder about such things.
i am about to pick one up for 800$ from their store (with a possible 50$ extra discount) which makes it a great price for me what concerns me is how it handles a heavier rider (over 110kg with with a heavy backpack) what its reliability looks like and how did you unlock the top speed (of 38 kph)? through the official app, or external apps? or did it come unlocked? (from what i have read it may come unlocked in the US), but in europe it should be locked and i have not found clear info on the unlocking and how it may affect the warranty
@@RIDEGLIDE thannk you for the resposne! unfortunately they are not selling it any more thorugh amazon, only their site but thrrough that, they wannt over 300$ for shipping to a european country from china...
Personally we feel that its great for people who want the functionality of a lightweight, low maintenance scooter but with the extra power for those steeper areas 🙌🙌
If you bought in Europe then it is likely restricted to the speed limit of the country you are in. Speak with the retailer and they will be able to help derestrict for private land use 😀😀
Annoying we don’t have legislation yet for scooters as you almost don’t want to bother buying anything over 500 watt. Government needs to at least allow 1000 watts nominal which means this and the Apollo city pro etc are ok and we can have dual 500 watts. I think in motion should have improved the s1 personally with proper indicator functions and perhaps offer a single and dual motor version. Great to see manufacturers starting to improve ip rating though and realizing most ppl don’t live in places that are dry all year round! Good in depth review as always guys 👍🏻
Totally agree with all of your points. They need to be realistic about the capabilities of 500w motors. Thanks so much for watching and your feedback as always 🙌👍
@@wrsawy UK! Anything with an electric motor inc scooters, EUC’s, e-skateboards etc are illegal except on privately owned land, so your driveway basically but not illegal to sell them.

@@RIDEGLIDE They made it right in Late July, it took about a month to get it all sorted. Absolutely incredible scooter, I live in a very hilly area and am heavy - this is the only scooter in my budget that actually climbs hills.
@@RIDEGLIDE i just took it on a 2.5 hour scoot @ about 10-12 mph. Hills, valleys, and off to wherever I wanted to go. It was liberating, fun, and after a little time I felt comfortable knowing I could go up any hill we have, which is saying a lot given how hilly things are here. Love this scooter, despite it taking a while to get the shipment sorted.
Those podles and bumps can hit very hard!!! Experienced on the Sagway G30P!!! It's not fun nor very safe.😮 Both are like tanks.😊 Need a front suspension!Thx. Please don't shout into the mikrofon so much gets distorted sounds!!! Very amaturish.😢😮
We need changeable batteries for such lame distances, compared to ebikes, it really sucks. There's no reason why the understatement can't provide a place for an additional battery. Why is this taking so long?
Flat tire very now and then that’s why they came with extra tube in motion knows it but its not enough you need a dozen tube you’ll be having flat tires all the time and I got tired of it
i will stick with my adult scooters not child scooters in the UK , its not bad school scooter for children to get school. or if low on money and need a cheap scooter to get from A to B , would be good to know the actual range of this scooter

think i have had mine a week or two longer than you. it's a bit disappointing. it hasn't hit 22 mph YET. and that includes going downhill and i weigh like 140. solid scooter though. just wish it had a bit more ooomph.
@ Wait what! Mines have hit 24 and it hasn’t disappointed me if anything I fall in love with it even more as I ride it to work and other places everyday. Definitely the best money I have spent in a while love it , I’m going for the RS Midnight next saving up for it can’t wait.
@@YOUMAD__ yup the S mode. it befuddles me how a scooter with 1500w peak motors could be so slow. gonna buy another one. it's looking like the kaabo mantis 10 lite. it's ~15lbs heavier but i reckon that's negligible. the speed difference isn't. (21mph vs 31+ mph)
You can get a lot of scooters on Ali baba but not this model. You will need to go to inmotion and speak to them. They have invested a lot of money in simple, low maintenance, water resistance micro mobility so are a good company to talk to if you need some help deciding 👍
38 km on a DOWN HILL OR stable road... thats dogshit man these things are great but they are marked up way more than they should be ... company got super greedy what a terrible comaany dont even care for their reputation just trying to make money first thing,.
