InMotion S1 Electric Scooter: 90 km Range Meets 24 kg Portability
With its 675Wh battery and claimed 90 km range, the InMotion S1 stands out for long-distance riders—but at 24 kg and without suspension, it balances portability with a firmer ride. Priced at $989, its 30 km/h top speed and pneumatic 9" tires promise efficient urban commutes, though lengthy 7 hr charge times and minimal bump absorption may influence daily usability. In this review, we’ll explore where the S1 shines—its exceptional endurance and compact folding design—and where it falls short compared to category averages on comfort (1.1/10) and value (2.7/10). We’ll also cover maintenance tips and compare the S1 to peers like the Xiaomi Pro 2, revealing whether its $989 price tag delivers competitive long-range performance.
Real-World Range Factors
Although InMotion rates the S1 at 90 km per charge, real-world conditions typically yield 70–80 km. The 675 Wh battery performs best at steady speeds under 25 km/h; pushing the 30 km/h top speed or tackling steep inclines will reduce range by up to 20%. Rider weight also matters: expect around a 10% drop if you exceed 90 kg. Cold weather and frequent stop-start traffic can shave off another 5–15%. By selecting eco or standard mode and maintaining tire pressure at 45 psi, commuters can maximize efficiency and approach the advertised range on mixed urban routes.
Portability vs. Comfort: Key Trade-Offs
At 24 kg, the InMotion S1 strikes a middle ground in portability with a score of 6.4/10—light enough for short lifts onto public transport but too heavy for extended carriage. Its compact folding mechanism eases storage, but no built-in suspension (comfort score 1.1/10) means riders feel every pothole on urban roads. Pneumatic 9" tires provide some vibration dampening, yet long rides can become fatiguing. If your route includes rough surfaces or lengthy walking segments, consider a model with suspension. Multi-modal commuters should weigh these trade-offs to find the right balance between weight and ride quality.

Frequently Asked Questions — InMotion S1
The InMotion S1 has a claimed top speed of 30 km/h (19 mph). This is below the commuter average of 47 km/h.
The manufacturer claims 90 km (56 mi) of range per charge. Real-world range will vary with rider weight, speed, terrain, and temperature.
The InMotion S1 weighs 24 kg (53 lbs). It is lighter than the commuter average of 28.20 kg — good for portability.
At 40/100, the InMotion S1 scores below the commuter average. This is 7 points below the commuter average. Better-scoring options exist at similar prices — see our commuter rankings for alternatives.
The InMotion S1’s 675 Wh battery delivers up to 90 km on a full charge under ideal conditions. In real-world use—urban riding, moderate hills, and a 75 kg rider—you’ll see around 70–80 km before needing to recharge. Using the eco mode setting and keeping tire pressure at 45 psi can help you approach the full 90 km range.
With a realistic 75–80 km range, 30 km/h top speed, and pneumatic tires, the S1 handles most urban commutes on a single charge. Its 24 kg weight balances portability and stability but lacks suspension, making bumpy roads less comfortable. If you prioritize long range and can accept a firmer ride, it’s a solid choice for daily commuting.
The stock charger fully replenishes the S1’s 675 Wh battery in about 7 hours from empty. Partial top-ups to 80% can be achieved in approximately 5 hours. Avoid using higher-output chargers, as the manufacturer recommends sticking to the supplied 2A adapter to preserve battery health and warranty.
