U-Move M004229 Sparkle Tilt Scooter with LEDs, Teal, 66 x 55 x 28cm

Product Information

The EMOVE Cruiser’s anti-theft credentials come in the form of a key-ignition immobilizer. Much like a car, you’ll require the Cruiser’s key to start it up – so most thieves are going to have a hard time snatching this scooter off your hands. Speaking of the bars, there’s also a cool folding feature that lets them fold in to make the scooter even more narrow. Tall, telescopic, and teeming with several of the smartest features the scooter has to offer, the EMOVE Cruiser’s handlebars are one of its main attractions.

Boasting chunky, pneumatic 10-inch car-grade tires, the EMOVE Cruiser is well-equipped to deliver maximum rider comfort.Hill grade - An electric scooter’s hill grade rating is the incline angle that its motor can handle when going up a hill. Most commuter e-scooters have a hill grade rating of 15% to 20%. The more seriously impressive thing about the EMOVE Cruiser, though, is its load-bearing capacity. The Cruiser supports up to 352 lbs of rider weight, which makes it the second-best in our database of over 100 models, as far as the load is concerned. The only other scooter to top this is Kaabo’s Wolf King, which can support up to an insane 400 lbs. For such a little vehicle, being able to fold the bars in and slide it closer against a wall is a nice feature to have. The NIU KQi3 Pro may not have that sleek and lightweight design that seems to have been the very first marker of an excellent electric scooter. What this impressive model does offer is much more important: comfort. It's also surprisingly, amazingly affordable – more affordable than other premium e-scooters with less features. Very tall ground clearance. I believe 8 inches of ground clearance but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, it's tall so it's breakover angle will allow you ride over sharp edges without the frame scraping.

All in all, the LED setup is about what you’d expect for a scooter of its price point. While it doesn’t boast all the bells and whistles of something like the Dualtron Eagle Pro – which sports customizable, color-changing, kaleidoscopic patterns of shifting light rippling up and down its stem – the Cruiser’s lights are still bright enough for night-riding.

\n\t\t\tU-Move Flex Tilt Scooter with LED Wheels - Pink - Extra Info

Although electric scooters are getting a bad rap because of irresponsible riders as well as the lax road rules that govern their use on public roads, they're actually excellent commuting alternatives.Plus, they'll help you limit your carbon footprint as well as minimize air pollution and road congestion. They will also help you save money by reducing your fuel usage. When the ESCs are cold, I've noticed that the motors will occasionally jolt for a fraction of a second regardless of what mode you are in until the ESCs are warmed up. This could be terrifying for a beginner. Before you hit the road, make sure you’re equipped with a helmet and safety gear. I’d also advise ensuring that your Cruiser’s fully charged up before you head out and that there’s sufficient pressure in the tires. If you’re riding at night or in conditions of low visibility, additional attachable lights are strongly recommended. Ride Quality Is the EMOVE Cruiser Comfortable to Ride? Wear and tear aren’t included. That goes for any rips, surface defects, or other assorted cosmetic damage that may occur to your Cruiser in the course of daily use

I’ve got to say – when it comes to the EMOVE Cruiser, Voro Motors’ self-support resources are excellent. If you have an existing account with that provider, you will be directed to login. If you do not have an account, you will be prompted to complete a brief application.

I mean… just look at the size of these things. The Cruiser’s jumbo tires remind us that – despite the colorful, playful design of its frame – this scooter belongs to an entirely different class to the Unagis, Segway-Ninebots, Turboants, and Hiboys of this world.

Pneumatic tires - Pneumatic tires are essentially just rubber tires filled with air. They deliver better stability, suspension, climbing, and traction than solid tires. It’s all there from an aesthetic perspective, too, with the Cruiser’s handlebars folding neatly down to aid storage and transport. In fact, the Cruiser’s handlebars are a neat blend not only of portability but customizability too. Via the telescopic stem, you can fix the Cruiser’s handlebars at whichever height suits you. Sure, its single motor means that it’s not able to compete with the dual motor-powered models when it comes to speed and acceleration. So if you’re an adrenaline junkie, you may want to opt for the Apollo Ghost or Mantis Base, for more speed at a similar price. Okay, I’m saying “dangerous” in a bit of a tongue-in-cheek way. Any two-wheeler can be dangerous. Hell, any car can be dangerous. Materials aside, it’s clear that – from a design standpoint – the Cruiser has been built to last. The mechanisms securing its folding handlebars and telescopic stem are smooth to operate, while the savvy S-knob controlling the stem’s folding feature is super secure.

Punches Above its Class

The EMOVE Cruiser’s frame is made from a lightweight – yet extremely durable – aluminum alloy. Rubber and reinforced plastic have been used for some of the scooter’s more cosmetic details, such as the handgrips and mudguards. It’s not a standing electric scooter, that’s for sure. But it also doesn’t fit with the other seated electric scooters because it is just so much more powerful. Some of the info the QS-S4 provides is your speed, riding mode, and ride distance, as well as the number of miles you’ve traveled in total. You’ll also be able to view an indication of how much battery life your scooter has left, although the Cruiser’s battery voltage meter – which I’ll explore in more detail in a second – offers a more precise reading of this.
