Good but not worth $900
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Heres whats good : nicely packaged . Its pretty reliable. The dual motors gets you going pretty fast and good. The bad: It doesnt last long. I can only do a feww trips on uber eats and the. Its dead. Today it died on me vut it was on 3 bars and then none. That was bad. The dual motors consumes the batteries wo much. I dont like that the bottom gets so dirty fast Battery is a huge issue for me. Dead before you knowit. It gets so slow going up hills. with onlyone week ofuse its already taken a beating, My handlebar arrived deffective. The holes are in the wrong place so I can't even screw on the handlebar correctly. Overall, it's solid but not worth the priCe in my opinion.I don't recommend. I (kind Of regret buying. For reference, I originally had the 350 and the motor just stopped working randomly. I'm worries that the same thing will happen to this one. Also I contacted customer supportbecause the handle bar was badly made. For reference I am 22O pounds I don't know if that's thereason that it doesn't go up to to mph but rather just 16 .

Amazing Design & Ride Quality
Posted .I am an employee of Best Buy and had the opportunity to test out the Unagi Model One and it was the smoothest, most quality scooter I have driven. I have seen many references to it being the Tesla or Apple of electric scooters and after riding the scooter I understand. The pictures don't do it justice, everything is very well well put together. Other scooters I have driven can feel a little flimsy and that the hinges/screws aren't tight, but this scooter is solid! I was also surprised to see the scooter had electronic brakes. Some scooters may advertise higher speeds, but I got to 17MPH no problem and notice minimal decrease in speed when going up a pretty steep hill in my neighborhood. The built in front and tail lights were a pleasant surprise and made me feel safe when driving home at dusk. The only part of this scooter that I didn't like was that the "horn" is located pretty close to the accelerator, so I found that I would often accidentally hit the horn when trying to accelerate. This wasn't a huge issue, but did surprise me a couple of times. Overall, I thought this lived up to the "Tesla or Apple of Scooters" reputation.

Classy Scooter!
Posted .I am an employee of Best Buy and had the opportunity to use the Unagi Model One Foldable Electric Scooter. I enjoy everything about this scooter. Starting with setup our of the box. In a matter of minutes I had the scooter set up and ready to ride. All parts needed for assembly are included so you do not have to worry about not having the correct tool at home to complete the little assembly that is required. The scooters handling and response is a big strength so I feel comfortable and safe while riding. This scooter has 3 different ride settings which makes it functional and safe for all levels of riders. The LED screen is a great feature, it captures battery life, speed, distance traveled and the ride level you have it set to. I really like the pickup this scooter has, it gets you up to speed in a hurry and maintains the speed very well while going up hills. I have yet to completely drain the battery so battery life is also strength of this scooter. When you are not riding the scooter it easily folds down and is easy to carry store in small places. Overall, this is a great product and I highly recommend it.

A great ride
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I could not be more pleased with the Unagi. It is absolutely perfect for my needs. I have put over 70 miles on it and here is my take on it. Design: I really like the sleek design. It both stands out from other scooters, but also fits in generally compared to bulky, thick scooters. The controls are well chosen and laid out. Once in a while, on a bumpy road, my thumb will change the odometer setting inadvertently, but it's not a big deal. The controls are well made, the speed dial and brake dial work smoothly, and the whole thing is high quality. The light weight and folding stem are great, as I often pick it up and put it in my trunk, take it into a restaurant, or to my office. The finish is excellent and the whole thing exudes quality. Ride: For a scooter without suspension, the ride is really good. I guess it's the perforated wheels. I ride in Detroit where the roads are awful, and the Unagi is always composed and under control, but you have to concentrate because if you do hit a big hole/bump, it can throw you. My usual 30 min. ride is always comfortable. I also have had to ride on snowy roads, and in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather. You have to bundle up, but the Unagi handles the cold weather fine. The speed is good also, and I like the 3 options. I mostly ride in level 2 (13 mph), just because it's city riding and I want to be careful of potholes and motorists. Although there are no hills here, I usually ride with both motors on just to wear them out evenly, but pickup is noticeably quicker and you need to be careful when starting from a stop -- it can fly instantly. Other: I haven't tested the range of the battery, but I would not feel comfortable taking it over 10 miles. And for top speed, I was able to hit 18 mph (I weigh 155), but not 19. Overall, this is a terrific machine. I even bought a second one (directly from Unagi on sale because I wanted the green color). Get it.

Amazing Scooter
Posted .I am a Best Buy employee and had the opportunity to test the Unagi Model One electric scooter. In my opinion this is the best electric scooter I've ever ridden. It's an incredibly smooth ride and this scooter also has great response when using the throttle or brake. It maintains a consistent speed whether you’re riding on flat ground or going up a hill. I’ve been able to get it up to 16 MPH and have been impressed with the battery life and distance you can go on a single charge. It also has a good headlight and tail light for safe riding at night. Overall, this is a great scooter and would definitely recommend.

Purdy Great E-Scooter
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The Unagi Model One is a very sleek and cool piece of kit. The design gets a lot of attention, the paint, fit and finish, dashboard are all top notch. I've never ridden an e-scooter - so I took it out to a parking lot and started in beginner mode 1. It's easy enough to ride, and the brakes seem really good to me. Today, I went into mode 2/dual battery mode on the street and was like "whoa"...lol... so if you're a noob, get your bearings in beginner mode before you hit the big time in city traffic. This scoot has tiny wheels - which is good and sometimes not so good - it can get a little twitchy if you're going a little fast and need to come to any kind of emergency stop. But those small wheels also make is a joy to handle, and low speed maneuvers are super simple, making tight turns are a breeze on the Unagi Model One. Ride quality: The parking lot I practiced on was pretty smooth so it was a very joyful experience. But add in any other business, like even a crack in the sidewalk - you're gonna feel it with those solid tires. It's not the cushiest ride out there, but I didn't want inflatables because I just don't want to deal with flat tires and the drama that goes with. The only other thing I would say to keep in mind is the range and top speed. Check the specs and make sure The Model One will work for you. For me, I just want to toodle around Brooklyn a little, I'm not looking to be on it for hours or win any races. I just want to get in the wind a little and look good doing it. So if you like refined design and build quality and, um, beautiful paint - The Unagi Model One will not disappoint; and the Cosmic Blue color-way is out of this world. Also- the foldable design is so intuitive, just fold down til you hear the click - and you're good to carry. It has it's downsides, but if you go into it knowing what they are - the Unagi Model One is a refined piece of transport - and hard not to adore. Shout out to BestBuy - they got the scoot to me 2 weeks earlier than anticipated. Loves me some BestBuy!

Worth the price!
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Awesome light little scooter. Sure it's pricey but I have the segway one too and I love this one more. It's smaller, lighter, faster, and goes much further. Worth the extra doll hairs!
