Despite its lack of suspension and cruise control, the Unagi Model One remains an excellent option for users that need a solution for short commutes thanks to decent range, good portability, and impressive hill-climbing ability.

Overview

Released in late 2020, the Unagi Model One is a lightweight scooter that pledges breakthrough custom designed tires that are immune to punctures, dual motors that allow it to easily tackle hills, and an integrated command center that gives it a futuristic design.

The premium electric scooter also features a 500-watt battery pack that uses a custom designed management system to ensure the highest energy density and a dual braking system for confident braking. Its 7.5-inch tires are made to be resistant to punctures, and with a range of 8-10 miles, it is far less tiring to ride than the VOKUL Folding Kick Scooter for Adults and Kids.

Read through the rest of this Unagi Model One review to find out what else it has in store and see whether it has what it takes to rival some of the best electric scooters in the market.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Unagi Model One is a powerful, stylish scooter that’s perfect for short city rides. But don’t take it off-road – it doesn’t have suspension. You can choose your speed with different modes, but there’s no cruise control if you want to take your hands off the throttle.
