In a world where lots of scooters have gotten faster, more complicated, and heavier, Unagi has held the line–keeping its focus on ease-of-use, peace of mind, and short-distance rides, and that means keeping things premium, simple, and lightweight.

Unagi’s model is centred around design, artistry, and engineering. As highly evidenced by the Model One line, Unagi offers advanced features and style. The quality build of this scooter is all the selling point it needs, and all models in the Model One line are crafted using heavy-duty aluminium alloy and the same Japanese carbon fibre used by Elon Musk on SpaceX spacecraft- (the Tesla of electric Scooters?) These high-quality materials contribute to a sturdy frame and overall lightweight element critical for portability. Because, in the current climate, e scooters offer a practical solution for navigating urban environments while mitigating the financial burden of high fuel costs. And we aren't talking about the rental electric scooters you see lying discarded across the sidewalk. We mean owning your own electric scooter for commuting.The light on the charger turns from green to red when it’s fully charged, but there’s no indication of charging progress on the handlebar display itself. From empty, the scooter’s 3200mAh LG battery takes about five hours to charge. Unagi claims the batteries last for several years even with daily usage, and the Pure Scooter warranty covers it for two years or 500 complete charge cycles. Unagi offers some of the best customer service and support in the world, and the E500 typically comes with a one-year warranty in most countries, which guarantees you repair at the manufacturer’s discretion. If the damage comes within the first three months, Unagi sends you a replacement scooter. The warranty, like most scooter companies, is extended to the first owner alone. It does not cover wear and tear, damage from misuse (off-road use and water damage). The October 8th group ride was more than an event; it was a testament to what Unagi represents: community, freedom, and unbridled fun. The streets of NYC bore witness to an electric revolution, punctuated by the joyous beats of an afterparty. However, you won’t want to submerge the Model One; it’s not an amphibious vehicle. For your dry-land commute and street-bound exploration, though, the Model One will be able to work, rain, or shine. Intelligent Battery Management System

It folds up fast, it’s aesthetic, and everything about it is made to be zero-maintenance. Those looking for a scooter that requires little upkeep, looks good, and performs well will find what they’re looking for right here. Performance and ride quality Speed & Acceleration With a name stemming from the Japanese word for ‘freshwater eel’, one would expect the sleekest, slimmest, most stylish scooter out there. As a result, riding the Unagi Model One Voyager on anything other than nicely-paved roads will give you a headache. If you were to ride this e-scooter in Singapore or Switzerland, both of which have top-notch road quality, then you’d have the smoothest rides. Unfortunately, in many e-scooter-friendly cities like Los Angeles, it’s not the most ideal. And I’m not exaggerating about the headache – I rode this thing around my neighborhood and I got a migraine after 10 minutes of riding.The Unagi Model One also has an electric braking system, as opposed to disc brakes. Though this exhibits superb stopping power, it’s so effective that on several occasions I found it too abrupt, jerking me forward unexpectedly. You don’t need to worry about seeing your environment or being seen while you’re zipping around in the Model One. It’s got a flush-mounted LED front headlight, as well as a rear blinking LED, that are both quite bright and easy to use. Horn You’ll be glad to know that the Model One makes it more than easy to see and be seen, which is incredibly important when riding around busy cities during commuting hours. The flush-mounted 47 Lumen LED front headlight and rear blinking LED will make sure that passing vehicles see you, and you’ll certainly see them. The Model One line comes in three variations; the E250, the E450, and the E500. What’s the difference, you ask? The E250 carries a robust 250 W front-based motor and is generally designed for flat-terrain commutes with its instant max power output of 500 W. The E500 is an upgrade to the dual-motor E450, which was released as a slightly more powerful option. It is distinguished by its dual 250 W motors, outputting an instant max power of 1000 W. There’s even a new app interface for interacting with the scooter, which anyone who appreciates the techier side of EVs will enjoy.
