Ride

The 8.5-inch size tires are filled with air and have excellent shock absorption for a smooth ride. The tires are designed to provide a safe and comfortable ride. The Tomoloo can support weight up to 220 pounds. The double braking system features disc brakes and an anti-lock braking system that is also regenerative. The braking system allows you to stop safely in 13.1 feet or less. The Tomoloo can handle inclines up to 20 degrees steep. There are three gears for low, middle, and high speed, and the maximum speed is 15.5 miles per hour. Users report that the product is compatible with attaching a seat for a more comfortable ride.

Durability

This product has been tested in a laboratory for vibration and wear. It has stood up to testing and has excellent durability. The tires are explosion-proof and resistant to wear. The frame of the Tomoloo is made out of aluminum that is aerospace-grade. The motor is resistant to high temperatures. It is a magnetic steel brushless motor and it is resistant to corrosion.

Battery Life

The battery is long-lasting and can handle a maximum travel range of 18.6 miles per charge. The battery is a lithium-ion that is pure ternary and can be charged fully in 3.5 hours. The digital display clearly shows the battery level with five bars at the top of the screen. Five fully lit bars means the battery is at 100% power. One lit bar means the battery is down to 20% power. One really nice thing about the Tomoloo is that it has an energy recovery system that converts energy from the braking system into battery power. This means that when you press the brake, the product converts the kinetic energy of sliding and deceleration into electric energy which increases battery life and lets you go farther.

Advanced Features

The Tomoloo has some really cool extra features. The headlights and bottom lights are multi-color LED and change colors simultaneously. The Tomoloo includes a music speaker that can be paired through Bluetooth to your phone so you can listen to music or radio from your phone or the internet. Now the really cool thing is that the lights flash in rhythm to the music for some serious style when riding around town. The lights stay on all the time, regardless of whether there is music playing. Some users did not like the lights flashing all the time, but on the other hand, this could be considered a great safety feature so that other cars can clearly see you. It’s like having colorful hazard lights.

Value

With so many unique features and a durable build, the Tomoloo is a great value. It is in the middle of the typical price range for these kinds of products, and it has more features than many models.

Overall

Easy to use controls and comfortable plus durable leather handles are just a few of the reasons that make the Tomoloo a great product.

Ride

The Razor E300 has a wide, super-sized deck for plenty of room. The tires are extra wide for a smoother ride and the motor is very quiet. This model can reach speeds of 15 miles per hour.

Durability

Users report that the Razor E300 is very heavy and made to be quite strong. Many say that this product lasts for many years of use.

Battery Life

The battery lasts up to 45 minutes of ride time, which is nice, but one detractor is that the battery is not a lithium-ion and is instead a lead acid battery and takes much longer to charge. It takes up to 12 hours to fully charge the Razor E300, and it has to be charged a full 12 hours before being used for the first time, but it should not be charged more than 24 hours at a time.

Advanced Features

The Razor E300 is a pretty basic product that is well designed but doesn’t really have any extra features.

Value

Because the Razor E300 is a simple model, the cost reflects that. This one is on the lower end of what you will find as far as price goes.

Overall

The Razor E300 is a basic, no fuss product that is durable and long-lasting.

Ride

Some users have reported that the Glion is not very smooth when riding and instead made them feel every bump in the road. While the Glion may not be the smoothest of rides, it is lightweight at 28 pounds which does provide convenience for moving it or lifting it. It's maximum carrying capacity is 255 pounds. A common thing reported by users is that the brakes are very aggressive and take a little getting used to. They can be easily used once you get some experience with them, but at first, they need to be handled carefully.

Durability

The great thing about the tires on the Glion is that they will never go flat since they are designed to be airless and are designed with military technology style honeycomb rubber. The frame is made from an aluminum alloy that is aircraft grade and powder coated.

Battery Life

The battery in the Glion is a lithium-ion that takes 3.5 hours to charge and lasts for 15 miles of distance per charge. The battery is energy efficient and is estimated to cost $1 per 500 miles. The battery life cycle is approximately 1000 cycles which should last 3 to 5 years before the battery must be replaced.

Advanced Features

One of the good aspects of the Glion is that it is foldable and can be pulled behind you like a rolling suitcase, so it is easy and convenient to keep with you wherever you go. When folded, the Glion has the capability to stand upright by itself. The Glion comes with a headlight and a rear reflector. A cover for the product is sold separately, but a pedestrian bell is included with the product.

Value

The Glion is in the middle range of the price spectrum, but you do get a lot for your money. The product itself is a nice design, and it also comes with some special features and an added pedestrian bell.

Overall

The unique folding capabilities of the Glion are a great feature and won it a spot in the top three of this list. Despite some complaints about the brakes and the smoothness of the ride, the Glion is overall a great product.

Ride

Depending on the terrain, this ride could be incredibly smooth or with some bumps. The tires measure 8.5” and the Hiboy also features dual rear suspension. These two features absorb many of the bumps, but not all. The top speed of this ride tops out at 18.6 mph and it can ride up to seventeen-miles before needing a recharge. The weight limit is about average, handling up to 260-pounds. To make your journey easier, there are also optional features of cruise and speed control. Braking is smooth thanks to the two integrated systems, disc-braking, and ABS anti-lock braking.

Durability

The solid 8.5” tires and aluminum frame provides impressive durability. The overall weight of the Hiboy is 28.9-pounds. It does fold down, but can still be quite heavy if you need to lift it. Some reviewers have had issues with the rear fender breaking, but have all reported back that the manufacturers provided great customer service and quick replacement parts.

Battery Life

To keep you on the move, the Hiboy pairs a 350W electric motor with a 270w MXH battery. This results in up to seventeen miles of travel. The reviewers seem torn over the power of the battery. Some say it’s great and others say that theirs only lasted for about five miles.

Advanced Features

The built-in lights are a great feature for anyone who commutes at night. There are front, middle, and rear lights. On the small dashboard in between the handlebars, you can see statistics such as your speed and battery power. Another way to see these same statistics and more is to download the HI Boy App. This app (for iPhones and Androids) pairs with your scooter using Bluetooth. It also provides insight into the length of your ride, light controls, and you can also use it to lock your scooter.

Value

The price of the Hiboy is quite affordable, especially considering the great customer service and features of this product.

Overall

This is a great choice for commuting to work, a friend’s house, or around the neighborhood. If you are feeling lazy, there is also a compatible seat that you can choose to purchase separately.

Ride

Finally, a product that comes with a seat! The seat is a really nice feature of the Razor EcoSmart and makes up for the fact that the product does not have a suspension system. The seat is extra padded and very comfortable. The throttle allows you to precisely adjust the speed, and the Razor EcoSmart can reach speeds of up to 18 miles per hour. The braking system is for the rear tire only.

Durability

The metal frame is powder-coated, and the deck is made out of strong bamboo. The motor is 500 watts and is high torque. The tires are 16 inches in diameter and are bicycle-style with spokes. This product includes a warranty that is good for 90 days.

Battery Life

The battery lasts for 40 minutes of use per charge, although one thing to be aware of, is that the batteries are lead-acid type and so will take longer to charge than lithium-ion.

Advanced Features

Not only does the Razor EcoSmart have a seat, but it also has a basket on the back for storing things. The basket is detachable, too, in case you don’t want the added weight.

Value

The Razor EcoSmart is similar in price to the majority of models, which is somewhat surprising considering that it comes with a seat and a basket for storage.

Overall

For ultimate comfort, the Razor EcoSmart provides a nice padded seat and place to store things. Some might see this model as one of their favorite options available due to the convenience and safety of being able to sit down.

Ride

Since the tires of the Xprit are solid rubber, that means the ride isn’t going to be as smooth as models with air-filled tires, but many users thought that the product was still fairly smooth despite the tires. The Xprit can go about 12.4 miles per hour, although some users report that it can actually go a lot faster than that. Rubber grips are included to make the handlebars more comfortable.

Durability

The Xprit is well made and users report that it is sturdy and heavy. It can handle about 200 pounds of weight. One detractor is that the product is not waterproof and so cannot be driven in the rain. This also means that the Xprit needs to be stored indoors when not in use.

Battery Life

The lithium-ion battery lasts for about 8 to 13 miles and can be charged over 5000 times.

Advanced Features

The headlight is nice and bright, but unfortunately, a tail light is not included but can be purchased separately. The Xprit has a nice, simple LCD indicator for keeping track of power. The screen shows a series of parallel bars that indicate battery level.

Value

One great thing about the Xprit is that it is much less expensive than most models. It is still a good all-around product and because of the low price is an excellent value.

Overall

We like how the Xprit is an affordable, simple design with some practical features.

Ride

The great thing about the Segway is that it has shock absorbers which will allow for a nice smooth ride. The braking system is both mechanical and electrical which could be a great feature for safety.

Durability

Users report that the Segway is not all that easy to carry since it is extra heavy, weighing 37.4 pounds. But on the flip side, that means that this product is well built and sturdy, and it can carry 220 pounds of weight at a time. Another plus is that the tires are solid and will never go flat.

Battery Life

The Segway has a range of about 15.5 miles before needing to be charged.

Advanced Features

An app for your phone is included with the Segway and it offers an anti-theft system as well as allows you to change the light settings and the cruise control options. It keeps you up to date on vehicle health and gives you interesting statistics.

Value

The Segway is another middle price product that is in the typical range.

Overall

Coming from a well known and trusted brand name is one of the strengths of this particular model. We especially love that it includes a good anti-theft system.

Ride

The ride of the Macwheel is quite smooth, thanks to a few different features. The airless tires provide shock absorption and prevent from slipping. There are front and rear brakes that work well, and there are three top-speed settings to choose from. When you set this limit of five, ten, or fifteen (15.6), you can go any speed under the amount. This is especially useful if you are lending the ride to a child. The motor allows for speeds up to 15.6 mph, however, this depends on the settings, road conditions, and the weight of the rider. The Macwheel can accommodate riders up to 256-pounds. Something that has bewildered many reviewers (who did not read the instruction manual) is that the motor will not engage until you are moving at 3mph or more.

Durability

According to some, small bits arrived cracked, which is most likely due to rough handling throughout the shipping process. One of the most admired and durable parts of this machine are the tires. They are airless and therefore can not be punctured. This 28.4-pound machine can be easily folded down in just three seconds.

Battery Life

Depending on who you ask, you’ll get a different number of hours, miles, and minutes. According to the manufacturer, the 350-watt motor and 270wH battery will give you 18.6-miles. A full charge takes only four hours, making this a great option for commuting.

Advanced Features

This machine is easy to use and features great speed controls. For scooting at night or in the early morning, there are lights on the front and rear. A great battery-saving feature is that the Macwheel will automatically turn itself off if it sits unused for more than fifteen minutes.

Value

For a product of this quality and durability, the chances of finding it cheaper are slim. However, something that many reviewers found odd is that you need to register the device to activate the warranty, but the manufacturer does not have a website. It has been noted that they do have a Facebook page.

Overall

This is an affordable and reliable option. It doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as some other choices, but it will get you to where you need to be.

Ride

The suspension system features 6 shock absorbers, and an optional seat can be added giving the Nanrobot a high degree of comfort. The product can reach speeds of 40 miles per hour which is by far the fastest on this list but might be somewhat dangerous to actually do.

Durability

The two motors on the Nanrobot are powerful at 1000 watts. The Nanrobot can handle 330 pounds of weight, making it one of the strongest on the market.

Battery Life

The battery life lasts for 45 miles per charge.

Advanced Features

The digital display on the Nanrobot is pretty impressive. It has a lot of features including speed, gear, voltage, and riding time.

Value

The Nanrobot is very pricey, but it can go as fast as a car and so is likely worth that cost.

Overall

We are blown away by the extreme speed that the Nanrobot is capable of. It is an amazing machine that definitely deserves a place on the list.

Ride

Considering the fact that this is marketed more towards children, most of the feedback comes from lightweight adults or children. The weight limit for the E90 is 120-pounds. It can reach speeds up to 10mph and is intended for ages eight and up. 10mph may not sound like much, but it is enough to whip around the neighborhood! The kick-start motor is accompanied by a throttle button and a front hand brake. The rear-wheel-drive provides impressive control and traction.

Durability

Lucky for you, there is no maintenance needed! This small street cruiser has no chains and requires no alignments. The steel frame, urethane front wheel, and TPU back wheel have proven to be quite durable. The E90 weighs 22-pounds overall.

Battery Life

Users will enjoy a full 80-minutes of ride time on a fully charged battery. The newly introduced 90W hub motor and Powercore Technology doubles the previous ride time and provides 50% more power than the original E90. The machine is powered by a 12V sealed acid battery and the charger is included. Be sure to read the manual upon arrival to ensure a proper first charge.

Advanced Features

This is a fairly simple machine. It arrives almost completely intact and requires minimal assembly. There is a convenient retractable kickstand to deter users from tossing it into the grass.

Value

Whether you are looking into this product for you or your children, it is priced affordably. It is a great way to zip down the street and is easy to maneuver.

Overall

With two color options available, green or pink, you are sure to bring a smile to the receiver’s face. The weight limit and maximum of 10mph do prevent this from being an option for commuters, but it is a great option for children.
