*Battery life is great **Latest.Bike** Scooter . Love the different driving modes. It’s got a little headlight and taillight too. Gets lots of looks haha*
Don't forget it's one of the most powerful and useable lightweight 'carryable' scooters. Because of the exotic materials, you can carry this with you without it being too much of a burden.
I got one (in this color) a few months back. I have to say ordered it on cyber Monday and paid about 750 dollars. Still a pretty penny. Yes as a lot of people have pointed out the range is not awe inspiring but I can get close to ten miles in dual motor mode and "unlocked mode" which is enough for me. And yes the lack of pneumatic tires and any suspension can be rough. I live in New York and have had my brain massaged a few times on some of these roads. The top speed of about 20 mph is more than enough for me; to be honest I still get a little antsy at that speed lol. The dual motor mode eats hills in my neighborhood. The brakes are really good even at high speeds. It's light weight was important to me for using it during my commute. And of course its a great looking scooter. I was looking at the E-Twow also for its lightweight but what made me go with the Unagi was the brakes and the companies custom support reputation. Just my 2 cents.
I have a very skeptical view of most reviews this slick. However he did point out the one huge glaring flaw in this scooter, the lack of any suspension and I have to say I believe this review was an honest one. I don't need to go fast - I want some reasonable comfort as I travel. Suspension really counts when it comes to that. As we all know most surfaces are far from perfect, Very far here in SOCAL. There is real quality here and that is obvious, but the lack of suspension stopped me dead in my tracks. Maybe Unagi is working on fixing that. Let's certainly hope so.
Nice review, I agree that aside from some of us I'd say quite a few people now (like me) park outside of the "zone" and use my scooter to get 2 or 3 km each way between the car and the office. I know of a few others here where I work who also do that. Plus I can nip up to the shops (further away than a convenient lunch time walk would allow) and extend my range from the office to the better lunch venues. Its also faster than taking my car (even if I did pay for parking at the campus) to take my scooter to the shops. For people who pay $500 for a pair of shoes the style and look of this scooter (and hopefully lack of maintenance) will make its swish looks and light weight appealing (maybe even chicks).
@@richardtabor2140 depends where you live. Where I live, they introduced new regulations to cover the use of escooters as previously they would have been considered too powerful = motor vehicle, but cannot be registered = not allowed to ride except private property. Now, you can ride them up to 25km/h etc
Nice video. It would be most interesting to see a comparison between the Unagi with dual motors and the recently reviewed E-TWOW GT. They are similarly priced. Any comments you'd care to reply with about Unagi vs. E-TWOW would be most appreciated.
Could you do more reviews on electric scooters under $500? I feel like this price is what most customers including me would pay for to use this type of commuter.
Hi sir...new subscriber here...can I know if where can I buy or order like this kind of scooter?? I'm base here in UAE...and theres no any shops and online that selling like this....waiting to ur reply....thank u in advance
I wish I have my Unagi scooter now. I made a purchase on July 6th and three weeks later, no scooter. They said they’ll ship it within two weeks, but apparently they didn’t even have any stock (of the particular color I ordered) in the US. Why didn’t tell me this before I placed an order? I don’t know but that’s a sign of bad customer service. Everyone is raving about customer service but it seems like they don’t have anyone working. I understand there’s a pandemic but at least be honest to your customers.
Yes they have great customer service I ordered mine on the 15th and didn’t get it till the 30th But messaged him about it asking why I was paying for something that IDon’t have because I’m renting it so it didn’t make sense, He kindly moved my next billing date to October 15 and give me a 50% off my next month so yes their customer service is amazing
How did you film yourself while you’re riding. I get you use the invisible selfie stick but how are you holding it while you’re holding the handles? Love to hear back :)
Hello, very nice video ! Can I use excerpts from the video (without sound) to illustrate what I'm saying in my video? This is for a french presentation video. Thank you for your reply. Yours sincerely 😉
Too bad this can't toggle from dual to single motor mode to increase range when performance isn't really required. A single 250W motor should easily get to 20 kph. Sleek unit, I like how all the controls are integrated into the handlebars.
It can, but that's not how it works. A single motor will take twice as much power to get up to speed than dual motors. I've tested this myself, the dual motors will actually get you optimal range between 12-15mph.
How can we add extra battery to this scooter🤔? The extra battery should look good on the handle bar (the long part of it) Oh, and please if anyone know how to remove the kickstart-kickpush of this scooter or the name of the app to connect with, please write it down here🙏🏻⤵️
For $900 to go only 17 mph is despicable, i got rid of my $300 one that went 15 mph cause that is way too slow. So I returned that and ordered the OUTSTORM MAXX which goes 56 mph but it's only $1000 more than the Unagi, which is priced at $1999, the fastest electric scooter on the market. Go BIG or Go Home!!!
Unagi keeps getting better but for $999 i thought theyd have some suspension at least?! To get the most out of a scooter your gonna need to switch terrains every now and then - its like “Hey everyone we have the FERRARI of scooters but w/ skimped on the suspension ?? Yeah yeah -theres cost/profit ratios WE GET IT but come on -when its this sexy it should have a sexy feel to the ride?!?! It looks nice for some sunday funday cruising - But For those who are planning to use their scooter for multiple mission types (including work) -The EtwoWOW line is still the best workhorse -it has dual shocks and foldable handlebars too - you dont always need these features- but theres those times when they are a real life saver -look forward to UNAGI 3.0
17mph is actually pretty low. Why have dual motors, the most powerful of all of the smaller scooters for a low 17mph top speed. Most scooters in the lower category reaches 18.6MPH which is not much better, but still... I am a bit surprised at the low speed. I love the design and low weight, but a real brake and a bit more speed would make it the perfect scooter. I have a hard time finding one that fits all the criteria I want but honestly I do not think I am too picky. Here is what I want from a scooter - min 18.6mph speed. Rear wheel drive, at least one manual brake, 10" pneumatic tires, no more then 38lbs and a bit of a modern, elegant look, not the old style 90's scooter look and under $700. So far the Mankeel is the one I selected, but have not yet received it. We'll see if I chose well. I really like the low weight of this though...
Very nice scooter but most people at Reddit doesn't fancy this much because of dismal range. Maybe not the best weekend scooter but for me, this is the perfect scooter for last-mile commuting.
Every electric scooter will have resistance from the motors. Only way it wouldn't is if the motor were to somehow physically disconnect from the wheel axle.
IgWannA2 if you times that by 50 trips you get 500 miles. $1000 divided by 500 is $2 per mile for this beautiful smooth slick machine. That's how i look at it! 👍
If range was all that mattered, you wouldn't have a world where a Camry and a Lexus can both exist. Yet even though they both get the same range, somehow each still has a large customer base.
UNAGI SCOOTER RENT/MEMBERSHIP REVIEW I was super exited about this one but i didn't expect it to be a disappointment because there are so many amazing reviews on it and most of them are not being paid to give a good review. Since they have no place to review it on their official page, i'm sharing my thought with you here. So if you are like me, looking for the right/perfect scooter, i think you need to read this. So the cool thing about this scooter is that you can either rent it for 40 buck a month or buy it for 990. The membership is too high in my opinion, that’s where they actually get you with that “one-time registration” of 50 dollars!! But fine, at least you get to try it out and rent it before you go spending a 1000 for a scooter you might not like. So the delivery was super fast, that was a nice surprise. Once i registered I received an email asking me to pick the time of delivery for the following day (options were between 10-2pm or 2-6pm). The next day i received a link where you can see the driver’s location in real time. That was a cool thing and who doesn’t love a 24hr delivery, right?! It seemed promising so far! But, ehh not really.. The driver arrived and handed me the scooter (out of it’s box) the charger and cable. No manuals, no instructions or booklet, nothing. So i called customer services just to make sure that i am not missing any paperwork or instructions, but there was no one to speak to, instead you could leave a voice message, your phone number and name and the reason you are calling AAAND if it is urgent you can email them. LOL really? Email for help? what if it were an emergency??So, their customer service is non existing, so that was very disappointing as i had to go back online and read about instructions. So first let’s start now with the things i liked about it: The design of the scooter looks sleek, modern and sexy, so yes it is pretty. It is a little bit lighter than other scooters of similar specs (no wonder there are a lot girls riding it), it is suuuper quiet (if you like that) although ppl sometimes get stunned when they see me ride past them as i appear like a ghost all of a sudden. And the one-click fold works great, so unfolding is effortless. There are 3 speeds, and you have the option of turning on the dual motor function, so those rides up the hill are effortless. Now sadly i do have more things that i disliked about it..And i was so hoping and really wanted this this one to be THE best scooter for me. First of all, whoever said this scooter was a smooth ride must have been drunk! For those who are not familiar, the tires on this scooter are “made of solid rubber and puncture proof, so they’ll never foil your morning commute.” I’m guessing they were scaling between ‘Would you rather never get a flat tire? or would you rather have a nice, enjoyable, smooth ride??’ Honestly, i would now pick a flat tire once in a blue moon than a super rough, bumby, and unpleasant ride every day! I kid you not, the ride is so damn bumpy that i started having headaches every time i would ride it. Because the tires are so hard, you feel every single crack, bump and rock on the road, all the way from your jaw to your forehead! So annoying! So i would constantly have to watch and focus on the ground, avoiding any cracks and bumps and the continues vibrations from them made me feel tense while driving and it kills the fun of it. It definitely did not make the ride enjoyable. Recently i even fell because i thought it could cross a thin hose on the street, even though i lowered the speed. Now on top of everything i don’t feel as safe on it. Even my partner who has an amazing scooter (no i will not mention the brand name, but if you ask i will tell you) and he tried it and said it truly is a rough ride. His scooter btw is so smooth on the road as if you are riding on butter! Also there is no cruise control, which i think they need to incorporate as you have to keep your right hand on the accelerator non stop, and if you need to fix your mask or glasses (i’m a righty) good luck if you hit a bump! But at least now i know exactly what i am looking for in a scooter. So i will not be extending my membership after all, even after only a month of using it. I guess the good thing about it all is that you can rent it and see for yourself. But i would not recommend it, in all honesty. Best of luck and if you do, wear a helmet!!! Pros: fast delivery / lighter than other scooters with similar specs/ super quiet / one-click easy unfold / emergency manual back brake Cons: came with no manual or instructions / tires too hard, terribly bumpy, definitely NOT A SMOOTH RIDE/ no cruise control / doesn’t not show how many miles you have left, only the battery bars / glossy finish (looks a bit cheap in my opinion, i think a matte finish would be sexier).
Thank you for your honest and detailed reviews. I was about to subscribe the annual membership. I live in New York too, and I need to buy electric scooter asap. I would love to know your partner's scooter brand. Would you please share?
Hi there! I actually got the same one as my partner. It's a INOKIM light scooter. They actually have a shop in New York, where you can see all the scooters in person and even test them. It's at 333 Bleecker St. I gotta tell you i avsolutely LOVE my scooter, the ride is so smooth and i feel like i am surfing every time i ride it, super fun! They are a little pricier than Unagi but it's an investment you won't regret, if you are planning to use it frequently. It's sturdy fast but very responsive and you feel safe when you ride it. I ride mine everyday. I live in Williamsburg (by Hewes station), and it normally takes me 30-45 minutes to get to Soho, but with the scooter it takes me only 15 minutes! For me, it's the best purchased i made in a long time. I highly recommend it. Best of luck!
I have the same feeling but I think the movie has been edited /or shot in HDR with weird level settings. There is even a strong purple fringe around the body, typical chromatic aberration.
The Unagi E500 (dual motor) scooter is TERRIBLE compared to my Xiaomi. Forgetting the price difference of Xiaomi costing a fraction of the Unagi. The only plus on it is that it climbs hills much better than the Xiaomi. The minuses are (1) feels much heavier than Xiaomi, (2) very rough ride to the point of unbearable when going on NYC roads (Xiaomi doesn’t have suspension but its inflated tires absorb most small cracks in the road), (3) no cruise control (in a $1000 scooter?), (4) no drum brake? (I really like Xiaomi’s dual braking feature when it activates both electronic & drum brake when you press the drum brake). The “no cruise control” and the “real rough ride” is a deal breaker for me so I’m returning it after 1 day of commuting with it. I’m going to look at UScooter GT/TWOW - everyone keeps raving about it! I’m really looking for a Xiaomi that would fly up hills like the Unagi and be as light as possible.
I don't see how Unagi would even sell any of these at $1000. Even people with money to throw around would rather get something with more range and more power for $1,000. Aesthetics are nice, but it doesn't justify 3x the price. Also, it's not just that, it lacks physical brake and suspensions that scooters half that price has as well. This doesn't make any sense.
Right idea in losing the weight but a perfect zero when it comes to performance. My sub 200 dollar scooter is better. I can replace my $200 dollar scooter when I wreck it and I will. Having said that excellent niche play. Verdict: to say the competition is coming on strong would be an understatement.
They rate these scooters with a 150lb rider A person 200 to 260 lbs Isn't going to get 10 milee I had a swagtron Swagger 5 they said 12 miles on the highest setting I averaged 4.5 miles I didn't test it on the other two settings the slowest setting was so slow I felt like I was going to fall off
For the price and range I’ll stay with my uberscoot 1000w mines has a seat and suspension for these rough streets this scooter to me is not really nyc ready I need a stronger scooter 🛵 it’s nice but just not for me
Given the fact that the sole purpose for owning this scooter is to RIDE IT !! The lack of suspension isn't quite as easily dismissed as you'd like us to believe !! WASTE OF MONEY !!! NEVER BUY A SCOOTER THAT HAS NO SUSPENSION !
Christopher Roberts I disagree,pneumatic tires will absorb some of the bumps. This model is not for everyone ,it’s for a niche market,it’s expensive but not everyone can afford a Ferrari.
I don't understand this review. 1000 dollar scooter with no suspension that goes 17 miles per hour and has a terrible 8 mile range. How are you calling it premium? How are you saying it's good? Customer service alone isn't going to make it premium. The iPhone isn't just pretty it's one of the best specced phones in the world.
I own the scooter and I bought it from a store near me for $500 new, that's about the right price for this thing, though I love it and it's perfect for my needs
Those tires will wear out after 200 too 300 miles then what do you do. I guess you throw it out then. 98% of people can not fix never the less get ANY parts. The company will send you the tires then what. There are hardly anyone showing how to change the scooters tires. Bike shops will not touch a scooter at all. It's very difficult to change the tires. Changing car tires is simple did the car tire once with no help are instructions that was just common sense. Scooters are equivalent to fixing a Rolex opposed to changing a watch battery on a Timex.

The range is not good at all. The most I get is 6 miles but acceleration and top speed is the reason I'm keeping it.
I'm not here to say anything other than my commute is 10.1 miles each way. That line was one of the funniest things I've heard in a video review.

Nice, but still lacking in battery life. I'll stick with my E-Twow Booster GT!
tds 101 I’ll stick with my Honda Grom!

@@waldalwahsh7833 - same to you 👍
I have the E-Twow Booster GT model with the new handbrake. It has awesome battery life. Solid tires, but the suspension works really well.
999 USD is too much for this range even with dual Motors imho
Just like most iPhones on their specs.
The materials and aesthetics took the majority of its price.
@@jaz1nce960 loving our xiaomi mi 365 with same range and speed for half price
If range was all that mattered, you wouldn't have a world where a Camry and a Lexus can both exist. Yet even though they both get the same range, somehow each still has a large customer base.

UNAGI SCOOTER RENT/MEMBERSHIP REVIEW
I was super exited about this one but i didn't expect it to be a disappointment because there are so many amazing reviews on it and most of them are not being paid to give a good review. Since they have no place to review it on their official page, i'm sharing my thought with you here. So if you are like me, looking for the right/perfect scooter, i think you need to read this.
So the cool thing about this scooter is that you can either rent it for 40 buck a month or buy it for 990. The membership is too high in my opinion, that’s where they actually get you with that “one-time registration” of 50 dollars!! But fine, at least you get to try it out and rent it before you go spending a 1000 for a scooter you might not like. So the delivery was super fast, that was a nice surprise. Once i registered I received an email asking me to pick the time of delivery for the following day (options were between 10-2pm or 2-6pm). The next day i received a link where you can see the driver’s location in real time. That was a cool thing and who doesn’t love a 24hr delivery, right?! It seemed promising so far! But, ehh not really.. The driver arrived and handed me the scooter (out of it’s box) the charger and cable. No manuals, no instructions or booklet, nothing. So i called customer services just to make sure that i am not missing any paperwork or instructions, but there was no one to speak to, instead you could leave a voice message, your phone number and name and the reason you are calling AAAND if it is urgent you can email them. LOL really? Email for help? what if it were an emergency??So, their customer service is non existing, so that was very disappointing as i had to go back online and read about instructions.
So first let’s start now with the things i liked about it:
The design of the scooter looks sleek, modern and sexy, so yes it is pretty. It is a little bit lighter than other scooters of similar specs (no wonder there are a lot girls riding it), it is suuuper quiet (if you like that) although ppl sometimes get stunned when they see me ride past them as i appear like a ghost all of a sudden. And the one-click fold works great, so unfolding is effortless. There are 3 speeds, and you have the option of turning on the dual motor function, so those rides up the hill are effortless.
Now sadly i do have more things that i disliked about it..And i was so hoping and really wanted this this one to be THE best scooter for me.
First of all, whoever said this scooter was a smooth ride must have been drunk! For those who are not familiar, the tires on this scooter are “made of solid rubber and puncture proof, so they’ll never foil your morning commute.” I’m guessing they were scaling between ‘Would you rather never get a flat tire? or would you rather have a nice, enjoyable, smooth ride??’
Honestly, i would now pick a flat tire once in a blue moon than a super rough, bumby, and unpleasant ride every day! I kid you not, the ride is so damn bumpy that i started having headaches every time i would ride it. Because the tires are so hard, you feel every single crack, bump and rock on the road, all the way from your jaw to your forehead! So annoying! So i would constantly have to watch and focus on the ground, avoiding any cracks and bumps and the continues vibrations from them made me feel tense while driving and it kills the fun of it. It definitely did not make the ride enjoyable. Recently i even fell because i thought it could cross a thin hose on the street, even though i lowered the speed. Now on top of everything i don’t feel as safe on it. Even my partner who has an amazing scooter (no i will not mention the brand name, but if you ask i will tell you) and he tried it and said it truly is a rough ride. His scooter btw is so smooth on the road as if you are riding on butter! Also there is no cruise control, which i think they need to incorporate as you have to keep your right hand on the accelerator non stop, and if you need to fix your mask or glasses (i’m a righty) good luck if you hit a bump!
But at least now i know exactly what i am looking for in a scooter. So i will not be extending my membership after all, even after only a month of using it. I guess the good thing about it all is that you can rent it and see for yourself. But i would not recommend it, in all honesty. Best of luck and if you do, wear a helmet!!!
Pros:
fast delivery / lighter than other scooters with similar specs/ super quiet / one-click easy unfold / emergency manual back brake
Cons:
came with no manual or instructions / tires too hard, terribly bumpy, definitely NOT A SMOOTH RIDE/ no cruise control / doesn’t not show how many miles you have left, only the battery bars / glossy finish (looks a bit cheap in my opinion, i think a matte finish would be sexier).
Thank you for your honest and detailed reviews. I was about to subscribe the annual membership. I live in New York too, and I need to buy electric scooter asap. I would love to know your partner's scooter brand. Would you please share?
Hi there! I actually got the same one as my partner. It's a INOKIM light scooter. They actually have a shop in New York, where you can see all the scooters in person and even test them. It's at 333 Bleecker St. I gotta tell you i avsolutely LOVE my scooter, the ride is so smooth and i feel like i am surfing every time i ride it, super fun! They are a little pricier than Unagi but it's an investment you won't regret, if you are planning to use it frequently. It's sturdy fast but very responsive and you feel safe when you ride it. I ride mine everyday. I live in Williamsburg (by Hewes station), and it normally takes me 30-45 minutes to get to Soho, but with the scooter it takes me only 15 minutes! For me, it's the best purchased i made in a long time. I highly recommend it. Best of luck!
False advertisements, i just got confirmed by unagi that its only 500 watts in total.
my commute is 10.1 miles
Battery life? An hour?
Depends on how you ride the scooter!
Why does it look like green screen?
I have the same feeling but I think the movie has been edited /or shot in HDR with weird level settings. There is even a strong purple fringe around the body, typical chromatic aberration.
Facebook keeps forcing me to buy this 😒
The Unagi E500 (dual motor) scooter is TERRIBLE compared to my Xiaomi. Forgetting the price difference of Xiaomi costing a fraction of the Unagi. The only plus on it is that it climbs hills much better than the Xiaomi. The minuses are (1) feels much heavier than Xiaomi, (2) very rough ride to the point of unbearable when going on NYC roads (Xiaomi doesn’t have suspension but its inflated tires absorb most small cracks in the road), (3) no cruise control (in a $1000 scooter?), (4) no drum brake? (I really like Xiaomi’s dual braking feature when it activates both electronic & drum brake when you press the drum brake). The “no cruise control” and the “real rough ride” is a deal breaker for me so I’m returning it after 1 day of commuting with it. I’m going to look at UScooter GT/TWOW - everyone keeps raving about it! I’m really looking for a Xiaomi that would fly up hills like the Unagi and be as light as possible.
no sirven el mio ya se descompuso y no atienden por la garantia
Lo compraste o rentas?
save the children help the Palestinian's
I don't see how Unagi would even sell any of these at $1000. Even people with money to throw around would rather get something with more range and more power for $1,000. Aesthetics are nice, but it doesn't justify 3x the price. Also, it's not just that, it lacks physical brake and suspensions that scooters half that price has as well. This doesn't make any sense.
Right idea in losing the weight but a perfect zero when it comes to performance. My sub 200 dollar scooter is better. I can replace my $200 dollar scooter when I wreck it and I will. Having said that excellent niche play.
Verdict: to say the competition is coming on strong would be an understatement.
Which one do u have which is more faster
please do a review of Segway Ninebot ES4
Comparing to Unagi, please!
They rate these scooters with a 150lb rider
A person 200 to 260 lbs
Isn't going to get 10 milee
I had a swagtron Swagger 5 they said 12 miles on the highest setting I averaged 4.5 miles
I didn't test it on the other two settings the slowest setting was so slow I felt like I was going to fall off
This looks appropriate for the suburbs.
Agreed!
Sexxxxxay!
Essentially the iPhone of scooters
I will just rather buy the Segway Ninebot Kickscooter Max because it has more range then the unagi scooter
I have that scooter and yeah it says it has that range but that's only in eco mode. Sport mode it get like 16-18 miles
For the price and range I’ll stay with my uberscoot 1000w mines has a seat and suspension for these rough streets this scooter to me is not really nyc ready I need a stronger scooter 🛵 it’s nice but just not for me
Huh no wonder i got unagi ad on this vid
Given the fact that the sole purpose for owning this scooter is to RIDE IT !! The lack of suspension isn't quite as easily dismissed as you'd like us to believe !! WASTE OF MONEY !!! NEVER BUY A SCOOTER THAT HAS NO SUSPENSION !
Christopher Roberts I disagree,pneumatic tires will absorb some of the bumps. This model is not for everyone ,it’s for a niche market,it’s expensive but not everyone can afford a Ferrari.
You should of started with the price, I am out.
They should of put a seat on it
Looks like a upgraded m365 for triple the price.. Just saying
If only handlebar folds like mercane.
I go on my scooter 25 miles
This is the epitome of form over function. Seems overpriced cuz its pretty.
High-quality street style and amazing acceleration!
Me got hit by a car on one of these and the back wheel snapped off
OMG , is the scooter gonna be fine ?
@@cristianrojas995💀
My ninebot max would smoke that scooter
Way to short range for that price! Everything else with it looks nice though...
I don't understand this review.
1000 dollar scooter with no suspension that goes 17 miles per hour and has a terrible 8 mile range. How are you calling it premium? How are you saying it's good? Customer service alone isn't going to make it premium. The iPhone isn't just pretty it's one of the best specced phones in the world.
I own the scooter and I bought it from a store near me for $500 new, that's about the right price for this thing, though I love it and it's perfect for my needs
Who’s here after joe rogan
Not manly enough for me. looks too pretty
hahaha thanks
Those tires will wear out after 200 too 300 miles then what do you do. I guess you throw it out then. 98% of people can not fix never the less get ANY parts. The company will send you the tires then what. There are hardly anyone showing how to change the scooters tires. Bike shops will not touch a scooter at all. It's very difficult to change the tires. Changing car tires is simple did the car tire once with no help are instructions that was just common sense. Scooters are equivalent to fixing a Rolex opposed to changing a watch battery on a Timex.
Paid £245 for mine lol
LOOKS MEAN NOTHING I AM INTERESTED IN PERFORMANCE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
