It's a lot easier to let other drivers know you want to go left or right if you can switch on a light, rather than holding your arm out. The Apollo City has something most other electric scooters lack: Turn signals. Back to top Best scooter for long distances.Read our Unagi Model One Voyager review to see if it's worth the upgrade. Unagi has also just released the Unagi Model One Voyager, which costs about $200 more, but offers roughly twice the range and a few other handy features. However, Unagi has a scooter rental program which lets you rent one of its scooters for $49/month, or $39/month with an annual subscription. And, on Unagi's site, you can personalize the look with custom skins.Īll of this comes at a price: The Model One costs $990.

We were also enamored with the Unagi's sleek design its carbon-fiber front post changes in geometry from a circle to a triangular shape, making for an intriguing look. It has both head and taillights, the latter of which blinks rapidly when you hit the brakes. The Unagi also has a great display that's bright enough to easily see even in daylight we also liked its intuitive controls and loud, electric-sounding horn.

Using both motors (you can opt to use just one) causes the battery life to drop significantly lower than the scooter's advertised 15-mile range. Thanks to its dual 250-watt motors, the Unagi Model One powers up hills with aplomb, zipping along twice as fast as other scooters with just a single motor.

Read our full Hiboy S2 electric scooter review. If you can get the Hiboy S2 for $399 or less, it's a great value, as it delivers more than most other scooters at that price. Its battery life is good for a scooter in this price range, but expect to charge it every few days if you plan on doing a lot of riding. The S2's 350-Watt motor proved up to the task for most situations, but like most budget scooters, I found it had trouble on hills. The one caveat is its rear latching mechanism, which was a bit finicky. I also liked the very clean design of the Hiboy S2 there aren't a lot of dangling wires and such. Not only does it make you more visible, but it's also a really cool effect. These include such things as dual brakes - both regenerative and a mechanical disk - and lights, not just in the front and back, but around the sides of the scooter, too. The Hiboy S2 has several features you don't typically find on a budget electric scooter.
