S1
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.
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.

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
