Another awesome electric scooter is here!
Funded with Kickstarter, Unagi managed to release the Model One a few weeks ago.
It is a lightweight scooter, with excellent build quality and good features.
In this review I will explore it and show its strengths and weaknesses and from time to time will compare it with Xiaomi's M365.
Let me know what you think of it! Which is your favorite color?

whats good fam? I have had my Unagi for 5 months. I have gone over 800 miles, and I really like my scooter. It is my main source of transportation. Very smooth navigation...sometimes i think to myself "this is what it feels like to ride an eel on the water". I will point out though that there are a few problems with the manufacturing. The scooter starts making funky noises when you ride it in the rain, and water somehow decreases the battery life. Maybe thats just the feel? Maybe its fighting harder to trudge through the slippery streets. So i recommend avoiding riding in water. My first Unagi got water damage, and started to make a ticking noise. but the team smoothly communicated with me and helped to send it back so that they could send me a new fresh one. Without me paying for shipping I add. Overrall i really like this scooter. I ride through the bike lanes of Denver and its really smooth. People always stop me and ask me if its my own personal scooter, and where to get it from. I always throw in how much more i like my scooter than the ones you can rent around the city. Thanks #Unagi #UnagiScooters 🙏😁

[@TechMishka]

Desmond - thank you SO MUCH for sharing all that. There have been a number of criticizing comments from people that didn't even try the scooter, and I very much share the same opinion. Since I avoid riding in the rain, I can't quite say about battery life when rainy - bit will give it a try. Have a lot of fun riding! 😇👍

Hi. And how is the driving sensation with those wheels, compared with rubber and air ones?

[@RPSartre01]

Yup, I had that ticking sound too from one of the motors and it eventually gave out. I was able to return the scooter and get my money back.

[@johnnyyash1130]

I have the Unagi and I live in San Francisco with many hills. I've rode my Unagi 400 miles in San Francisco since June. The scooter is great, it's the best design and quality scooter I've seen. Breaking works great. The battery needs to be more powerful...It can get up hills with full battery no problem...when the battery is dying it can't handle hills and you need to pedal with your foot. Going down hills it's great.

[@denitsadeneva5056]

The scooter feels really great, speaking from personal experience, but one thing I didn't like was the break - it was pretty strong and it took me a while till I learnt to press it very gently and slowly, otherwise the scooter stops immediately and I almost fell the first time. Great review as usual ❤

[@TechMishka]

Always good to see people sharing experience, thanks denitsa deneva 😇 For scooters there always is a learning curve, and even if you know them - could be dangerous. I got used to the Unagi controls so much, that yesterday I almost had an accident with the M365 - rang the bell instead of actually braking 🙃🙃

[@UnagiScooters]

Our brakes are definitely sensitive but also practical! Agreed great review!

[@prof.hectorholbrook4692]

Good colour range. Lot of R&D clearly gone into every aspect of design, materials & build. All this + your info on acceleration with dual motor version & zero maintenance = probably is worth the big price ticket.

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

Im an avid scooter enthusiast -i road an ETwoW for 2 year which was top notch for its tuffness -right now my eye is on a Mercane widewheel to enhance traction for safety in urban road environments -BUT this UNAGI GETS CREDIT FOR BEING SUPER LIGHT while still being well made

Thx. Was on the fence but am gonna go for it.

[@fluxcapacitor]

9:44 Weird statements, as Unagi support claims otherwise: _"the Unagi uses electronic brake E-ABS. We have a slight regenerative braking system if you are coasting along flat ground and use the electronic brake it will give you a bit extra battery life. If you go on any hills though the regenerative braking pretty much cancels itself out. Overvoltage isn't an issue with us."_ The last sentence refers to a question about a rare but severe issue reported by some users of the Ninebot ES2: the scooter completely switched off when trying to use the electromagnetic brake at full speed, due to an electric load sent to the full battery, and the scooter put itself in security - no brake anymore. Frightening!

[@TechMishka]

Pretty sure this statement was not there at the time making the video; And I can show you how it seems to give a bar back once you are in still stand after you've been going downhills. As for the last thing - because I have had this with the Mi Scooter too - never felt it with Unagi. And I am absolutely sure about it because the first 2 kilometers after I go out are downhills 🙃 The only inconvenience with braking is if the battery is close to empty, because braking gets weaker too.

[@Zorzi98]

I think the many disadvantages this Unagi has comparing to best seller M365/M365 PRO or many other cheaper competitors prevents it from being considered the Tesla of electric scooters. It would have to smoke the competition in most aspects to deserve this title...

[@TechMishka]

Good point, Zorzi - agreed!

[@stevens7409]

I pre ordered one of these. Very stiff ride for SF. Range is much lower than advertised. Looks good overall. I added gaff tape to keep the stem from creaking while riding. I do not recommend this if you’re going up hills or are a heavier rider. I have a boosted rev on the way.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Steven good to see a comment from someone that actually has it. Do you have the single motor version or the dual-motor one? ANd what is your weight, if ok to be disclosed?

Скъпичко е поне за мен, но определено, ако изключим цената, Унагито е по-добър избор от Шаумито. Но от гледна точка на цената, за хиляда лева отгоре, а и ги сравняваме двете тортинетки като характеристики, еми Шаумито към момента е по-добрия избор поне за нас българЕте, които не сме достатъчно платежоспособни.

[@TechMishka]

Ехаа, много як коментар, Ники. Благодаря от сърце. Да, абстрахирайки се от цената, Unagi е супер забавен за возене скутер. ДОста по-изчистен и пипнат. Но това не прави по-бюджетните решения като M365 лоши - даже напротив. По-големите гуми на M365 са си плюс, особено за нашите пътни настилки.

[@klecara]

@@TechMishka Няма спор! Аз имам намерение да си взема М365, но със сигурност трябва веднага да го мод-на, за да предотвратя неприятностите, но за гумичката, която пази входа за зареждане не съм поглеждал кво може да се направи и за гумите не съм сигурен дали тва slime tire sealant би помогнало да не се спукват толкова лесно. Аз съм почти 60 кг и сигурно по-подразбиране по-трудно ще се пукат при мен, но все пак е хубаво да сложа допълнителната защита. Ти какво мислиш относно това, защото беше показал в едно твое видео, че си сложил на М365 твърди гуми, но как би било най-добре за модване, тъй като няма амортесьори, а така с твърди гуми сигурно ще стане доста по-дървено от към возене.

Ако например ти падне батерията и почнеш да си я буташ като нормална тортинетка или да се спускаш по инерция някъде, ще можеш ли да създадеш някакъв заряд, за да се зареди батерията поне малко, така че да можеш да почнеш пак да се возиш и ако да, колко време или разстояние трябва да изминеш така ръчно?

Quick question: does it have regeneration of energy by braking???

[@TechMishka]

Yes, quite minor contribution to the battery level though.

[@olivermaher3461]

Anyone experience an extremely hot power adapter when charging their Unagi scooter? I just received my new blue beauty, but during the initial charge the adapter got so hot I ended up unplugging it out of fear it would start to melt. I am an electronics freak so I have far too many things that plug in and my experience is that the adapters get warm, but never as hot as the one for my Unagi.

[@TechMishka]

It was pretty hot - but never had the feeling it will melt. Still - check with their support staff.

The review takes a bit of work to digest. Over labouring points and makes references that don't follow a sequence, make it hard work to follow the presenter's overview. Interesting scooter though, but too expensive for what it offers. M365 vanilla or Pro still seem to be ruling as the scooters for the masses.

[@TechMishka]

[@fluxcapacitor]

I don't think that consuming electricity for electromagnetic braking is an issue, on the contrary it is an advantage in my opinion. There are horror stories of people on well-known scooters with regenerative braking who cannot brake AT ALL in an emergency because they were driving too fast down the slope with a 100% charged battery (which is usually the case after each overnight charge at home). Then when braking - say because they are coming to a visible stop sign, but also maybe due to an unexpected car or truck crossing ahead - the electronic undergoes an electric load of incoming energy and since the battery is full, the scooter completely switches off, meaning no brakes at all anymore (all manufacturers tell this is a normal behavior!). Sometimes under such a surprise and lack of time is is impossible to reach and activate the foot brake in time… Imagine what happens then.

[@TechMishka]

Very true! I've experienced this once with the Mi Scooter and it was pretty scary.

[@tomheal2159]

how hard could i ride this? bunnyhops down steps?

[@TechMishka]

I've tried pretty steep places and it was fine. Of course any deviation that is greater than 5cm is quite dangerous and if you are not prepared - could be a reason to fall down. Of you want something for offroad - larger tires are needed.

[@TomSpurlock]

Too much $ for the limited range. Nice design though. For that much money I would expect regenerative braking and at least 12mi range, however it appears they focused on light weight, which is nice, hence the limited 9mi range.

[@TechMishka]

True that - the range can be a limiting factor. If a person uses it for daily commuting to work - then if it is 5-8 miles away - that's fine and one can ride at maximum power 🙃 But if we prioritize range - then the situation becomes different.

The main driver in the problems that UL2272 addresses is the use of low-cost electrical components to drive down landed cost on e-mobility devices. Our scooter uses high-quality parts top to bottom, from LG cells in the battery pack all the way out to the charger (which has overload protection).

Price wise it's the Tesla of scooters, performance wise it's the Nissan Leaf of scooters. Speed and range specs are way to low for the price they are asking. I spent $200 more than what they are asking for their dual motor and I got a scooter that holds up to 330lbs goes 40mph and can travel 50 miles on a single charge.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Mike - a comment that was both funny and reasonably justified. Which scooter did you buy?

[@Mmastro28]

I bought a dualtron clone.

[@Mmastro28]

I also have a Joyor LR8. Cost about $800. Does 27mph and has about 43mile range

[@Stan102173]

Mike Mastro how do you like your Joyor L8R? I’ve seen very little online reviews but the ones I’ve found are very positive. Faster than most and great range.

[@Mmastro28]

@@Stan102173 personally I think it's ok. I cant really ride it because it will not take me up most inclines (I'm about 220lbs). When I do ride it on flat roads I have no issues with it. Even with my weight I still get close to 20mph in the high mode. Battery life is ok but you have to stay in the low power setting of you want to see 30+ miles. Otherwise you get between 14-20 miles of range. Hope the info helps

[@gannechaitanya6703]

I have this scooter and frankly, it has no shocks. You will feel the impact on your heels and knees and it's very unpleasant even when you hit a crack on the road that's about an inch. The holes in the wheels don't do any shocking and absorbing, blah blah blah. They are pretty rigid wheels.

[@TechMishka]

Good to know! I feel it's not any worse than M365 with solid tires.

[@gannechaitanya6703]

@@TechMishka Thanks for letting me know. I was in fact wondering how it compares to the more popular models.

[@Ohden68]

I just got mine and it is terrible. The batter only last 5 miles. When I sent Unagi a message they said only to expect 15miles if your 150lbs and using the lowest settings. DO NOT PAY UP FOR THIS SCOOTER IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

[@TechMishka]

If the weather was too cold, you are closer to the higher range of supported weight, and you've been aggressively riding with a lot of stop-go and dual-motor setting - then that's possible; I've had around 12-15 kilometers in my worst runs where speed is priority. Check the Ninebot Max. Twice heavier, but 60KM range is quite a thing.

[@RaGaZzAcCiO23]

Not even close to the ‘Tesla’ if electric scooter. Every scooter enthusiast knows the Dualtron is the Tesla of electric scooters.

[@gtone339]

And the Xiaomi m365 is the Toyota Prius or Nissan Leaf of Electric Scooters! 😁🛴

[@TechMishka]

That sounds... bad!!! 🙃

[@TechMishka]

Isn't the DualTron like the G-CLass of the scooters?

[@TechMishka]

@Alex S Alright, makes sense :-)\ I Used it because of the simplicity, the fast acceleration and the slick design.

[@hydroknight01]

"The handlebar is Magnesium..." Then I hope to god no-one gets it wet, because Magnesium does not like water AT ALL; contact with water causes Magnesium to form a Hydrogen gas that ignites VIOLENTLY. This does not strike me as a user-safe design choice.

[@TechMishka]

Never experienced any ignition so far, but will keep that in mind. 🙃

[@edc5452]

Pretty sure it's a magnesium alloy

[@troutboynz]

Very nice, if only the clowns would actually ship "worldwide"!!! They don't, and won't ship to New Zealand! Oh well... A Xiaomi it is...

[@TechMishka]

Too bad about that :( Not sure what the reasons are, and hopefully that will change in time.

[@Mmastro28]

The Xiaomi is actually better than this POS. The specs are quite similar but the price is much lower. You'll be pleased with the Xiaomi. Or try a Joyor. $799 for their LR8 goes 27mph and goes up to 43.5 miles on a charge.

[@Emo666Cali]

Thanks now I'm getting an x9 thanks for talking me out of this lolz

[@TechMishka]

you mean the Kugoo S9?

[@daa82]

The Unagi ES500 (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.

[@TechMishka]

I think you look at it from the practical side, and maybe - the value ratio. True - riding is far worse than on the Mi Scooter, however it is also something you can get used to. I prefer bumpier ride over flats. I also hate the lack of cruize control (regulations remove it in certain regions for the Mi Scooter too). But brakes... they are lovely!!! Wow :-) THe design and the weight - unbreatable. Strange you don't mention the range, because this is something else to criticize too. But I do agree - Mi Scooter is the better value choice.

[@daa82]

@@TechMishka my commute is about 3-4 miles to the train station and back so range is something I could live with. But the range was terrible also. It quotes 15 miles and I got at most 7. While waiting for the return label it stranded me twice on the same commute as I do with the Xiaomi. The battery went from 2 bars to 0 in about 2 seconds and the scooter started beeping and then it stopped. The other thing I learned is that since it is dual motor it is really hard to push-scoot like a traditional scooter because of too much resistance due to the dual motors. I think the UScooter GT SE easily beats the weight and design of the Unagi - it is more utilitarian rather than luxury but who cares about a custom paint job on a scooter?

[@slug182]

800+ dollars for this? Nahh

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, it even gets close to 1K for the dual-motor. Definitely not the best price-features ratio.

3 times m365 is better than 1 unagi period. m365 is not cheaply made, it is as easy and looks cooler with some scuffs. its not as pretty as unagi..but come on 600 euros for being more pretty is not ok; if it has not better range nor better performance or built quality. so no, this is a niche.

[@TechMishka]

Of course, m365 is quite awesome. It is a market leader for a reason 😎 Or for many reasons.

[@leoinswlondon]

Clickbait! Tesla of all Scoters and $990.00 dollars? Not convinced and worth it.

[@TechMishka]

Don't you think the pricepoint, compared to other scooters, is also similar to how tesla are handling their pricing?

[@Lectrosoul]

@@TechMishka Tesla, pound for pound can charge what they want as they have been the only fish in the pond thus far, their prices are and will drop slightly now with more competition. Unagi are overpriced full stop

Range is bad, portability and build quality are unbeatable.

[@znakist]

Ha ha ha ha....this is a big joke? Xiaomi M365 Pro will destroy this, at half the price.

[@TechMishka]

You might be right about that. But there's nothing wrong having competition - this is why the Pro is that affordable. If there was no competition, Xiaomi would have felt comfortable selling it for as much as they want. 😇

[@justblase5270]

It's really slow.. waist of money

[@artofverity8791]

it's not when you're in a busy city, trust me.

[@TechMishka]

This is a limitation implied by regulations. In most countries going beyond 25km/h (even 20km/h in some places) requires special license. THis scooter is capable of much more. And the acceleration is what matters the most.

[@chrisylink]

I go 16-17 mph on mine and the acceleration is very strong on dual motor version

[@Mu5icPr0ducer]

Waste*....yes, it is a little slow..my city recently got scooters and I've gone over 18mph, which is fast and is my comfort limit. For that price, you'll want to be faster than most scooters.

[@andrewszeto121]

What an overpriced piece of junk. For the same price, I can get an Apollo City or an Emove Touring, which is literally better in every aspects. The City / Touring have suspensions, higher top speed, higher range, bigger batteries, handles more variety of terrain, have cruise control, and are just better scooters overall. In fact, I would even buy a Ninebot Max before I buy this thing.

[@TechMishka]

The point here is the shapes, build quality and the weight. Of course there are way better performing devices.
