The Inmotion S1 is a large-battery commuter aimed at long trips and heavier riders. Its 675 Wh battery, 140 kg rider limit and suspension at both ends are the headline advantages; its 24 kg weight is the trade-off.

ScootFinder verdict

Is the Inmotion S1 worth considering?

Choose the S1 when range and rider capacity matter more than carrying. At its current Australian sale price it is a strong specification value, but its scale and basic drum-plus-electric braking setup will not suit everyone.

About the range figure

The manufacturer figure is a controlled-condition maximum. ScootFinder uses 65 km as an estimate for planning and has not independently measured the S1's range.

Should you buy it?

Best suited to

Commuters wanting genuinely long range from a single motor scooter, with a high 140 kg rider capacity and suspension front and rear.

Standout strength

A big 675 Wh battery giving strong claimed range plus a high 140 kg max rider weight, ships default-limited to 25 km/h.

Main compromise

Basic front drum brake, and unlocked top speed of 30 km/h is modest compared with faster private-land scooters.

Pros

  • High 140 kg rider limit
  • Large 675 Wh battery
  • Front and rear suspension
  • Current Australian retailer support

Cons

  • Heavy at 24 kg
  • Basic front drum and rear electric braking
  • The 95 km claimed range comes from controlled low-speed conditions

Check before buying. Confirm current promo pricing and stock with the retailer.

Inmotion S1: questions buyers ask

Is the Inmotion S1 legal in Australia?

No public-riding approval is confirmed from the required catalogue evidence. Eligibility remains unconfirmed in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. An app speed mode alone is not approval. WA device eligibility is not confirmed by speed alone; weight, dimensions and configuration matter. NSW personal e-scooters remain private-property only; NT has a separate maximum 200 W / 10 km/h definition. Rider age, equipment, licence and route conditions still apply.

Can I ride the Inmotion S1 in Queensland?

QLD maximum capability exceeds 25 km/h. The transition through 28 February 2027 requires manufacture before 1 July 2026 and former compliance; neither a model year nor an app setting proves it. Confirm the exact unit; do not ride on this result. General rule: age 16+ and a valid learner-or-higher driver licence. Specified exceptions cover supervised riders aged 12 to 17 (including unlicensed 16 and 17 year olds), eligible medical exemptions for riders 16+, and designated recreational areas. Supervision and exemption conditions still apply. A transitional reasonable-excuse provision for the licence requirement runs through 29 November 2026; it is not a blanket licence exemption. The current PMD definition includes motor-only capability no more than 25 km/h. Through 28 February 2027, a transition covers devices manufactured before 1 July 2026 that met the former definition. A model year or app mode does not establish this exception; we do not presume it for unverified units. 12 km/h on footpaths and crossings, and when passing pedestrians on shared paths. Otherwise obey signed path limits up to 25 km/h. Roads up to 60 km/h and specified bicycle-lane exceptions; check signs and the route.

Can I ride the Inmotion S1 in NSW?

Personal e-scooters remain illegal on NSW roads and road-related areas, including footpaths, shared paths and bicycle lanes. Use a personal e-scooter on private property only. Shared hire trials have separate approved areas and rules.

How far does the Inmotion S1 really go?

The claimed range is 95 km, measured by the maker in ideal conditions. ScootFinder estimates about 65 km for mixed everyday riding. That is an estimate, not a test result. Hills, rider weight, cold weather and riding at top speed all cut range, so plan with some battery in reserve.

How much does the Inmotion S1 weigh?

It weighs 24 kg. The maximum rider weight is 140 kg. It folds for carrying and storage.

How much is the Inmotion S1 in Australia?

When we last checked on 17 October 2026, the lowest price we found was $1,099 at Electric Kicks against an RRP of $1,899. We list one Australian seller on this page. Prices change, so check the seller before buying.

Is the Inmotion S1 waterproof?

It has an IP54 rating, which means it resists splashes from any direction, such as light rain. No e-scooter is truly waterproof, so avoid deep puddles and do not wash it with a hose.

Is the Inmotion S1 popular in Australia?

Yes. It is number 2 in our list of the most popular e-scooters in Australia for October 2026. A best seller at both retailers. Its big battery and $1,099 sale price (down from $1,899) make it one of the cheapest long-range scooters on sale.
