Inmotion S1F
No citable customer rating — see how we compare.
27 mi estimated · 59 mi claimed
The claim is 2.2× the estimate. How this is worked out.
Inmotion's value long-range commuter: a 675 Wh pack and 500 W motor, 59 miles claimed, and dual spring suspension for $649 at Inmotion's own store (Voro Motors lists it at $599). Rider limit is 308 lb, which is high for the class. The 59-mile figure is a maker best case; at 25 Wh/mi the pack is good for about 27 miles, though the Gotrax G6 carries 720 Wh for $30 less. It is a drum-braked scooter with electronic assist, so stopping is adequate and not strong, and IP54 is a splash rating, not a rain-riding one. Compared with the Segway Ninebot Max G2, which is similar in range and price, the S1F is about the same weight, $150 cheaper with 124 Wh more, and has fewer service points in the US. Buy it for the battery and the load rating.

What owners say
Summarised from owner discussions and long-term owner write-ups.
The S1F's owners are mostly big riders who wanted range and suspension at around $800 or less. On the flat it delivers: a 6 ft 6 in owner says it flies and the fit is perfect, and an owner about 2,000 km in says it holds 25 mph and still covers 20-30 miles a charge at that speed, enough that they treat it as an e-bike replacement.
Hills are the weak spot. The same tall owner, at 260 lb and well inside the 308 lb rating, finds acceleration slow and says speed falls to about 5 mph on normal hills. Delivery has also gone wrong more than once: one buyer received a scooter with a tilted front wheel and a reseller unwilling to cover the fix, and another was sent the base S1 in a box labelled S1F. With production reportedly ending, at least one buyer is worried about parts.
What owners like
- Sized for big, tall riders: a 6 ft 6 in, 260 lb owner says the fit is perfect, and another big-and-tall buyer chose it for exactly that
- Quick on the flat: one owner says it flies, another that it holds 25 mph with no issue
- Real range holds up: an owner at about 2,000 km gets a solid 20-30 miles at 25 mph, and a former owner who also had an Emove Cruiser S said its range was perfect for their needs
- That same 2,000 km owner calls it genuinely good as an e-bike alternative
Common complaints
- Weak on hills under a heavy rider: the 260 lb owner, 50 lb under the limit, finds acceleration slow and says it drops to about 5 mph on ordinary hills, and doubts it would make the Queensboro Bridge with a backpack
- Heavy and not portable; one owner treats it like a bicycle, carried on bike racks, because it is much bigger than most scooters
- Quality control misses: one new unit arrived with its front wheel tilted, and the reseller would only help if the buyer paid for shipping and repairs
- Inmotion shipped one buyer a base S1 in a box labelled for both models; the app identified it, and it lacked the S1F's dual charging ports and deck lights
- A buyer in 2025 reported Inmotion was ending production, which raised worries about parts
Questions people ask
Can the S1F climb hills with a heavy rider?
How do I know I received an S1F and not the base S1?
Is the S1F portable?
