Inmotion S1 Electric Scooter Review

I had the opportunity to unbox an Inmotion S1 Electric Scooter yesterday and thought I would share the experience :)
I had a delightful experience reviewing the Inmotion S1 these past few days. It was powerful enough for me to to get up some small hills (Power 500w, Peak 1000w) and had battery enough (675Wh) for me to travel around our fair city for ages. The ride was very smooth with the full suspension, large 10" tubeless air inflated tires. The Inmotion S1 has two charging ports so if you have two charging bricks you can charge twice as fast. It has an IP Rating IP56 and a max load of 308lbs. I've been riding it around and I'm super impressed with the quality of the ride and range. Two thumbs up for me :)

This review is definitely a mammoth experience, well placed scenes are Victoria. I like the idea of the suspension but you are right that super upright stem and no "trail" leads to really quick handling. Great that the tire plugs works good. I agree that 500 watts can be plenty for anyone, depending on where they ride. Keeping on riding!

[@TimsElectric]

Hey Jim, can you explain to this dim rider what you mean by no trail...does it mean the angle of the stem? Cheers :) :)

[@EbikeProducts]

Great review Tim! Besides the excellent detail about the S1, I loved how you showed plugging the flat tire. What an easy fix! The repair process might be a GREAT step by step “how to” video if you have time.

[@TimsElectric]

Glad you enjoyed it! I actually made the video into a short and uploaded it about a week ago (tire repair) and it performed poorly. It also performed poorly on IG But it did well on another platform...which I will discuss when we chat next :)

[@keqrou]

I decided to replace my inmotion s1 rear tire. Bought a brand new identical wheels, same size and all. And it wouldn't seal. Did absolutely everything. The rim is too deep and makes its wo that the tire doesn't seal. It litterally turned into a 3 month long job. Ended up juet taking it to a shop and getting a solid tire. Should've done it from the start

[@Bywhee9875]

Great review. Have ridden my S1 over than 1900 miles, just love it

[@TimsElectric]

Great to hear! Thanks so much for letting me B Yan :) :)

[@winniepeg2020]

have you had any rear suspension rattles 🤔

[@Ontheroadtourism]

We've bought two of these and I can't fault them. I am approx 90 kg and it climbs hills with ease where we live. We use them every day and normally use less than half the battery over 20 to 25 miles. They are good value for money and very well made. The app sucks , but you very rarely need to use it.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome On the road tourism , I love the S1 too...just filmed a review of the new Inmotion Climber today ;)

[@TonesAdventuresHD]

Another great review. Surprised there was a little wobble even though it has those dual fork suspension. Good video!

[@TimsElectric]

thanks for the kind words :) I wonder if others experienced the same thing with the wobble :) I'll check :)

[@staccatoglock]

Great content! Thanks so much! Always nice to see what someone’s thoughts are on these many different models. ESP someone 200+ lbs (myself included)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@TimsElectric]

Glad you like them Brent! Love making these videos :) :) :)

[@e-scooterguy]

Great review Tim. Not a fan of the grey and black think it would look better in all black and I think the deck lights are great but they act like indicators but not a fan as u have to lean or turn. Whole point is u indicate before hand on vehicles! But good effort from inmotion. Better manually activated indicators and all black with better charge port covers and this could be the ultimate commuter!

[@TimsElectric]

Really appreciate your thoughts on this...I didn't mention the indicators as I didn't' think they were helpful...I almost think indicators should be on the helmet...really bright...maybe one day even on a jacket? could be helpful :)

[@meharsandhu9036]

I don't know if you respond to comments a year later but great review tim! In the vancouver area and the S1F scooter seems like the best option thats provided in the local shops. Slightly hesitant, because you said it wobbles at top speeds, but I hope they fixed that by now. Also, was wondering if you ever ended up doing the hill of death test. I live in New Westminster, so we have very steep hills.

[@TimsElectric]

Hello Mehar, I sure do reply to messages...I try and reply to all of them :) I really love the Inmotion and will be doing another video with it soon :) As to the hill of death, I doubt it would make it up...in fact not one single motor scooter has done so and so if you do have steep hills and you're a bigger guy then a dual motor scooter might be a better option :)

[@hoangtuan8484]

Hi, i m in new westminter, where there are very steep hills, and I am 92 kg. I go up the slopes perfectly fine. I don't think it's that strong. Great

[@bowzerblack]

I am thinking about getting this model and there was an option to add a seat from where I am buying it from but I cant seem to find any info on about the seat. Did this one come with one or mention a seat in the manual or anything?

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome question @bowzerblack, I haven't tried one with a seat but I suspect it would be an odd ride as the handlebars aren't adjustable so your arms would be high up...if that makes sense :)

[@Von_McKnelly]

Ride around Victoria and get a workout climbing stairs with the scooter. Hi Tim!

[@TimsElectric]

Lol...great leg workout:)

[@brad238899]

I'm a very big 6'5 and 270 lbs. Looking for something inexpensive that can handle moderate hills. I know the climber is great but Im looking to spend a bit less. How is the S1 on hills?

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome question @brad238899, personally I'd look at the Apollo City Dual motor...the Inmotion S1 is awesome but single motor on the hills it isn't great ...for us big guys I'd recommend that you stick to a dual motor option :)

[@jorgenkarls]

What app do you use? I have iphone and my app doesn't look like that.

[@TimsElectric]

I'm on Android...it's the Inmotion App :)

[@arigold9276]

Mine goes 25kmh on s mode, and 20kmh on d mode. Can i make this any faster or is this like region locked? Thanks

[@TimsElectric]

probably @arigold9276, but I didn't ...I found 25 was fast enough :)

[@napoleonbonaparte7692]

Hi Tim been watching your videos religiously lately, I'm in Canada, Newfoundland, I'm looking at this scooter, actually I ordered the niu kqi3, but I do door to door sales & I realized that I need higher ip rating then 54 so I canceled the order. Found the l9 as a possible replacement after a while of it seemingly like the only water proof option was the emove cruiser. In any case this seems like better value to me as I really would like something that can also get up hills, so 30% incline is better then 20% with the ninebot and kqi3. In any case, I am probably gonna pull the trigger on this scooter, but I wanted to ask if you had any other suggestions & also wondered if you could clarify, there's like the l9, S1 & s1f, which is confusing not sure which one id ideally need but also, here in Canada I'm not sure about the supplier, Amazon seems to be out, the inmotion website seems to be useless only showing the s1 & and not to purchase directly from. The only site I found was smart wheel for the regular l9 and evees for the s1f and I can't find the S1 to buy. Just not sure what to do to be honest or if I can even trust these providers. Any suggestions?

[@napoleonbonaparte7692]

Also I noticed you didn't take this on the hill of death

[@TimsElectric]

@Napoléon Bonaparte greeting to you in NFLD :) Sorry I don't know the differences between the models..sounds like you're ahead of me on this :) I didn't do a hill of death test! You're right...I need to remember to do those :) Perhaps I'll do one and make it into a short :) I did one for the Varla Pegasus recently here: kzbin.infoFji3nvkQJPo To answer your question the best way I need some extra info :) Can you visit my website and fill in the questionnaire at the top? timselectric.ca I'll do my best to help :) Cheers from Coast to Coast :)

[@napoleonbonaparte7692]

@@TimsElectric the best scooter of the bunch is the s1f up to 40km which is the mostly identical same specs as the l9 except it's rear wheel drive instead. its also susposed to be able to go up 30 hill slopes which is a big deal to me in st johns. + It's one of few water proofed scooters, I mean the cruiser would probably be better but it's also like 650 bucks more expensive thinking I'm gonna pull the trigger on this s1f, can't see any other contenders, but before I decide I wanna see what 1600 dollars Cad can get me in the electric foldable bike realm... If you could do one thing for me it would be a comparison between e move cruiser and your S1 especially on hill of death.

[@TimsElectric]

So at the moment I don't have a cruiser ...but want one badly :) However I've been thinking...the Cruiser would be ideal for you for range but the hills, it would depend on your weight. send me an email if you can and I'll reply with my thoughts...another option would be to get a Varla Pegasus ...not the range but plenty of power to conquer the hill of death :) Cheers Tim p.s. I haven't had any single motor scooters make it up the hill of death yet.

[@hotblack1166]

@@napoleonbonaparte7692 From watching a lot of the videos on the S1, the S1F can go faster but you lose the torque for better uphill performance. The S1 has slower top speeds but is supposed to be better with the steeper hills. Would have been nice to have seen how it performed on the steeper hills especially as I'm 6'3" and heaver than your average Joe.

[@winniepeg2020]

nice video 😎 I've just received the latest version of the inmotion S1 they have changed to a single light that isn't a part of the display housing, the bell is integrated into the brake lever, the backlight is brighter, it seems more brutal acceleration, after 19.6 miles still had 45% battery, my lemotion S1 is dead at 19mls, supposed to be the same scooter 🤔

[@TimsElectric]

thanks so much for sharing...I didn't know they had a new model of the S1 :) can you dial up or down the acceleration I wonder?

[@winniepeg2020]

@@TimsElectric what do you mean lol

[@TimsElectric]

@@winniepeg2020 I thought you were pointing out the differences between the model you got and the one I got...am I wrong?

[@Eddienet]

Sup Tim again:) Would u choose Inmotion SF1 over Inmotion Climber, Im a big guy 133kg with neck and back probs. Want the climber but it has no damping, Is Sf1 better for me and will it climb any hills…Ty u again love ur videos. Want a second scooter and want one of these

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @Eddienet, personally the climber had the power I wanted but the ride (without suspension) was too harsh. The S1 was smooth and had ok power....so of the two...I'd go with the S1 if your town doesn't have big hills....also if you're a heavier guy and need the power (cold weather, steep hills, wanting to keep up with traffic, etc.) but of the two...I would reach for the S1 more than the climber....lastly if you want to step it up a notch then I'd look at the Apollo City (dual motor or single motor)....it eclipses both :)

[@Eddienet]

@@TimsElectric Ty again Tim for ur answer top guy. I have set my mind one of the Nami models in the future but Ill think Ill go for the Sf1 then thats the scooter wich has been on mind last months its for sale now in Sweden - wanna have the sf1 one to just cruise and comute with,ty u again Tim have a nice weekend.

hope you like it :) :) Cheers and safe travels :) Nami scooters are fast ...very fast :)

Do you know if the solid tires is available in the market for this scooter?

[@TimsElectric]

Sorry I don't know...probably ...but the fix for a flat is so easy with these tires...I did a video on it :)

I fit solid tyres on a xiaomi and it destroyed the insides of the scooter 😱 look at the sealant link below

@@TimsElectric I owned Xiaomi scooter and my inner tube will leak air after about 2 weeks. The amount of effort to get it replaced on that frequency is not making me enjoy riding the scooter. After I replace the solide tire, the ride is rougher but I never had to replace any tire anymore.

@@Kenndy16 peace of mind...or piece of mind :) :) I totally get it...a bit of rough ride vs flat tires...priceless :)

[@coffeedomudi9409]

I love it, your videos are very informative. Unfortunately, I had to find out with my Inmotion S1 that the speed does not quite correspond to reality, because on the one hand a different speed is displayed on Google Map than on the scooter. Not wanting to sound nasty, but the speed doesn't match that of google map. That's why the entire 95 KM long route can chop off, isn't true either. What do you say about the topic. Sincerely, Coffee Domudi

[@TimsElectric]

thanks for enjoying my videos...I don't know why manufacturers put these ranges up...in the real world they don't go that far :)
