Unagi is known for their sleek and high-quality electric scooters designed for urban commuting and personal transportation. The Model One is portable and easy to use.
Electric scooters, often referred to as e-scooters, are small, two-wheeled vehicles that are powered by electric motors. They have become increasingly popular for urban transportation in recent years.
E-scooters are equipped with electric motors that provide propulsion. These motors are typically mounted in the scooter’s rear wheel. They are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The capacity of these batteries determines the scooter’s range, which is the distance it can travel on a single charge.
Many electric scooters are designed to be foldable, making them portable and easy to carry. This feature is especially convenient for users who need to combine scooter travel with walking or public transportation.
Electric scooters have handlebars with hand grips, throttle controls, and brakes. Riders stand on a platform with one foot on each side of the front wheel. Electric scooters are commonly used for short trips within urban areas. They can be a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation for commuting, running errands, or exploring a city.
Most people are familiar with the sharing services in Denver. Companies such as Lime operate fleets of electric scooters that can be rented via smartphone apps. Users can find and unlock available scooters, ride them to their destination, and then leave them for the next rider.
But, have you ever considered owning one of these products? One brand to consider is Unagi. Unagi is known for their sleek and high-quality electric scooters designed for urban commuting and personal transportation. Unagi scooters are designed with a focus on both form and function, featuring a minimalist and aesthetically pleasing design while offering impressive performance and features.
As mentioned earlier, Unagi offers a foldable design and long battery life. The scooter does not have a removable battery but charging it to 100% takes less than two hours. The Unagi Model One Classic retails for less than $1,000 and comes in your choice of five different colors.
The Levy Plus E-Scooter has a range of 20 miles and can also reach speeds over 18 mph. The triple braking system makes it one of the safest on the market.
Unagi places a strong emphasis on design aesthetics, using high-quality materials and finishes to create a premium look and feel for their scooters. The Model One is a simple scooter to ride and lasts for hours with an easy-to-read dashboard, smooth braking, and impressive speeds. In our tests, the Unagi Model One reached 18 mph which is fast enough for most users. For more information or to purchase, visit unagiscooters.com.
Another scooter to consider is the Levy Plus which has a range of 20 miles and can also reach speeds over 18 mph. It is also portable as it folds and weighs a total of 30 pounds. The Levy Plus features cruise control which is a nice feature when cruising down the street while paying attention to traffic.
The triple braking system includes a front e-brake, rear disc brake system, and a rear fender brake for backup. The LED front and rear lights allow for nighttime riding while remaining visible and safe. On our test, we were impressed with the shock absorption. It performed nicely on the streets of Denver. It also has 10 inch tires which makes it suitable to handle rougher situations — like gravel paths and dirt roads.
All Levy scooters come with a six-month warranty and this particular model retails for $729. For more information or to purchase, visit www.levyelectric.com.
