I know it's a year since this video was posted but I bought one new from pure electric in the UK for £419 black Friday. Waiting on delivery but at a cheaper price than a Xiaomi 1I think it's a steal.
Just ordered it. Some changes are they now have 3 models, each with different ranges, and the price ranges from $600 to $800 which is cheaper than its intro prices. That said there is a lot more competition in the ultraportable space now including the Mosquito. The 2022 released model has an IPx4 rating - so okay in light rain, and the rear tire is now a solid rubber tire rather than an inner tube. I purchased this above the Mosquito because of the front pneumatic tire, since I live in a rainy city, and solid tires are death traps in the rain. Even if it’s just one tire now, it’s better than all solid tires. All other comparable ultraportables pretty much ONLY use solid tires which is a disappointment. The price being $200-400 cheaper also helped.
Is the solid rubber tire actually solid or soft and plush? Does that rear solid tire affect comfort quality? And what is that Inokim light no flat tire all about?
I like the choice of music for this video and the fact that you spent so much time talking about the philosophy of the company. The scooter is way too expensive though. At over $1000 dollars, it'd be nice to see a comparison between this and a similarly priced scooter.
Beside the rough ride, this scooter has a major design flaw. The rear mudguard is flimsy, its tail is too stretch backward so very easy to be broken. The worse thing is this mud guard is also a part of water-proof sealing , so when you change it, the whole battery/electronic exposes to water. Moreover, its real weight is 14.3 kg, more than advertised 13.7, and much more that what should be ultra-light. I bought this as second-hand, even so it does not justify its cost. I would be mad if bought it new.
@@nicolasmaximus2286 I find e scooters rubbish anyway. I been riding EUC 1 electric wheel 3 years. It s 1 of the best fun things I learned ! Awesome. I like to ride of road and it s muddy rainy at times. Mud is beauty treatment people pay for ! Softy !
I got one. Had a few issues with it but it’s fast and battery lasts. I had to change the tyres because I kept in getting punctures. It’s not waterproof so I made it waterproof but wrapping it up in tape.
I did purchase the scooter Inokim light 2 in November 2021. On the 2nd day, the inner tube died on the rear wheel (which I got by mistake instead of never run-flat). I waited for the rear never run flat wheel for 1.5 weeks (thanks for the USPS delivery, appreciated). Once I installed the rear wheel, it went 8 -ty when I rode. I decided to make adjustments but the front inner tube died as well. Having had this scooter for a max of 3 weeks I used it for 2 days overall. It was the worst purchase ever with the budget >1K. Technically it was a complete waste of my time. The only plus is the look and feel. Suggestion to Inokim suppliers - Admit the fact that the inner tube or the wheel design overall is not appropriate. The scooter can not be used on daily basis.
Fair enough, though the model I was on was the Israeli version that doesn't go past 15 mph, and you'll notice I was riding without many cars around on wide open roads. But of course we all take calculated risks when we ride and these are important things to consider. And the OXO is definitely coming, don't worry. I'll have boots on for that one :-D
@@Electrek Greatly appreciate your videos and don't want you getting hurt or kids watching your videos thinking a slow scooters get a pass. Everybody crashes at some point and even careful riders get hit by. I used to ride a R1200GSA and wore the same gear as on my Honda NC700X, BMW c400x, Honda PCX 150, and BMW C-Evolution. Minimum for my electric kick scooters is helmet, gloves and at least decent boots. Stay safe my friend.
I've been looking at a Segway Ninebot Air T15 for its compact size or the ES2 for more range. What can you refer me to in that size class? I only need a ride weight of 60Kg but like to carry 13-20Kg gear on tours. I'm more after range & easy of carry from Metro, to ferry .
When will they Fix the cheap Wobble in the rear-fender? I just checked the Inokim Store in NYC ( Delancy St. ) and they have Numerous Terrible Reviews = 2.9 Rating ? It's a shame as I seriously considering a Purchase.
@@darcychu9652 yes I know that. In my post I was saying that it was very difficult to find where to purchase the replacement inner tubes in the UK. They were so difficult to find and the service from inokim so poor that I eventually sold my scooter. I would never purchase another inokim product.
You can patch the tube , no problem. & good as 🆕!!! When the valve stem is not straight the wheel can pinch it and d destroy it.Owners FAULT. Just like on a bycicle.Must check on it weekly!!! Jumping off curbs(shouldn't do it) can cause a flat tube.!!! Ride sensibly,YOU.🤡☝️😂
In the first minute you mention both, responsible riding and safety, yet there you are riding along at speed wearing just sandals with exposed toes! That's just a nasty accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't go near my scooter in open- toed shoes.
This is a piece of crap. I own this one for 2 years, wasted 1k+ euro on service. Firstly I changed tyre every week. After that I rided in the rainy day (the rain was not that intense) as a result = battery dead (400 euro for a new one) Then I was tired of changing tyres every week and putted airless tyres. After 1 week on riding airless tyres the rear wheel is bended and wobbly very hard. Idk how long can I use it this way but its totally not worth that money. PIECE OF CRAP! Don't even think of buying it, this scooter is pain in the ass. Not sure about other inokim products, but this model is clacky, fragile, you ride like a plastic toy, everything rattles, shakes, creaks. The maximum price for such a scooter is 200 euros. Do not even think of buying it, save yourself from this pain. Before that, I had a Xiaomi m365 - half the price, it served me for 3 years, for 3 years I spent 50 euros on it to put airelss tires, AND THATS ALL.
I’m always a fan of buying things that will last. These are the types of vehicles that can bring about real sustainable transport. Rather than continuing the throw away culture that’s caused this whole mess.
Did the scooter company pay for your airplane trip and hotel stay? Did the scooter company give you at least one scooter? ua-cam.com/video/rosIrY_Aagc/v-deo.html
Yay. Glad this company is finally distributing in the US. I would love to try their Ox.
That’s a 600 to 700 dollar scooter at best. I have the Edrift version of this. Great scooter but didn’t cost 1,100.00. Thanks for the review. 🛴

Wonder if it's better than the turboant x7?

No downsides? Are you working for them? Sounded pretty biased.
if they care that much you should explain if their bms is smart and can monitor at the cell level vs thr pack level
Now costs 600 UK smackers at Pure Electric Scooters.
But Apollo's Phantom is just around the May 2021 corner for 1900 bucks!
Most important detail missing here.. IP rating..Why is it hardly ever mentioned. I like to know , can I use in rain , mud , puddles !
Would you walk in podles!??NO

great speedy review mate.
Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia 🇦🇺
What if the tire is moved of the back rim n the tube
Great videos as usual. 👍👍How long the speed boost last? 2 minutes?
Great review.
Pass. No suspension.
i like the apollo line & they have 24 month warranty. ✌🏿
Yes Apollo is great 🙌🏾
The same manufacturer of Zero(aka Grace) with tighter QC.
In 2023 is only 12 months!!!
Love this channel
ZAC did it first, in Portugal he lunch is scooter in 2005.
Open toe sandals while riding? Dude, you know better than that especially while showing a PEV thats foundation is safety. Can you review the OXO next?

Wondering if you gave those OXOs a test ride as well. I think those are Inokim's first dual hubs?
The OXO is coming up, don't worry :-D
Why doesn't Fluid Free Ride carry the yellow one?

Neat. Good for super light work
I like the design of the Inokim smart bike. When is it coming to the market?
Cool video. Thanks
The quick 3 next pretty please! 🥰
I've used by quick 3 for 13,000km, no issues with it :)
@@chanhonyian5818 how is it with water?
@@othomaso100 no electronic issues :)
I love my light 2, but it's very difficult to get replacement inner tubes and tyres.
No, it has split rims, so that you can split the rim to install your inner tube like an old Vespa.
@@darcychu9652 yes I know that. In my post I was saying that it was very difficult to find where to purchase the replacement inner tubes in the UK. They were so difficult to find and the service from inokim so poor that I eventually sold my scooter. I would never purchase another inokim product.

Love the weight or lack of but how's it handle hills?
Poorly on steeper hills.~10%Max? When slows down,just kick push it.That really helps.
Not a fan small wheels limit terrain. I like to ride off road and my e-bike is best.
Where is it made?
Where I can buy it? (My location Holon)
Hey... Hm and how to order
In the first minute you mention both, responsible riding and safety, yet there you are riding along at speed wearing just sandals with exposed toes! That's just a nasty accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't go near my scooter in open- toed shoes.
Its a vibe
Does it carry 300lbs around ???????????
100 kg / 220 lb max
Good idea but here in the UK they are illegal to ride on public roads and paths :(
Time to Brexit?
no suspension is a huge deal breaker.
Great video but more like an overview, not a review
Cycleboard rover 2 😎👍
Now it cost $200

If it can’t go 50 mph not worth it

Had one and very dissapointed with review. A rubbish scooter.
You talk to much about nothing... get to the point.
Did the scooter company pay for your airplane trip and hotel stay? Did the scooter company give you at least one scooter? ua-cam.com/video/rosIrY_Aagc/v-deo.html
No, and the scooter was a loaner.
@@Electrek yes I would get a free loaner car every week delivered to my home just to test. It didn't influence me at all.

Inokim is junk
