“Firstly can I say that the service and delivery was excellent.I live in Bundaberg and ordered this late Monday afternoon,and it was on my doorstep the same week,Thursday morning...pretty good since my Dan's order was ordered earlier and arrived the following week..LOL...
Now for the product........
My first scooter was a kaabo Skywalker 8.....no assembly required..
I found that the Inmotion S1 very difficult to assemble...for starters the T handle and the shaft holes didn't align at all..so some of the screws are not in place correctly,so I somehow feel that it is not as safe as it should be..Also,following the instructions as they are...the last screws to tighten are the front wheel,which is odd as it makes it difficult with the rest of the assembly.
My other problem is that it is advertised as being "water proof" ...both on your website and on the blog sights that I viewed before purchasing....However..according to the instruction manual..this scooter should not be used in rainy conditions ..and not ridden in puddles.??? Somewhat confusing as to when it can be used.?? And this was the reason for my purchase...that it was "waterproof"
As for the street performance..it is very different to my previous scooter..the accelerator is very temperamental...a soft touch and one is at 20km an hour...The indicator lights seem overkill and will use up the battery quickly..
Overall..this scooter is OK for my requirements,getting to and from work ...but for an extra $100 I personally feel that the kaabo Skywalker 8 is a better product”
Thank you so much for your in-depth, honest and thoughtful review of the Inmotion S1 in comparison to the Kaabo Skywalker 8!
I appreciate you raising your concern on the Inmotion S1's water-resistant capabilities and I am sorry to hear that the manufacturer's specified Ip ratings vs. what is said in the user manual has created confusion. I believe the reason the choice of words are used in the user's manual is to express that while the S1 has the Ip ratings to allow for driving through light rain and so forth, it is the same instance as to why a waterproof phone case's user manual would not recommend actively dropping your phone in water. I hope this analogy helps!
I have notified the marketing team of your feedback and I whole heartily thankyou for the detailed review! - Tom
“FINALLY decided to buy an electric scooter, got the S1... no regrets! The scooter is super easy to ride and folds down nice and easy. Awesome scooter for the price, and great assistance from the team at Springwood.”
“The scooter is a dream to ride. The scooter is able to make its top speed and going up a hill without any trouble whatsoever and I am a heavy guy (100kg+) I can say it is VERY durable as I had an accident on mine and NOTHING was wrong apart from a loose bolt that I didn’t know was there. The sales people who sold it to me were very nice and answered all my questions I had for them. Thank you to the person who set it up for me when I went to pick it up. Thank you Cannington store.”
“Couldn’t find an electric scooter with better specs at the price it is. Fantastic little run about with all the bells and whistles.
If you’re thinking about getting one, just do it as they are such fun to ride. Not only are they quick, but also safe with a super bright front LED, but also a bright brake light, and side lights as well.
Awesome scooter”
