Inokim Light 2; A Comprehensive Review
I recently got myself an Inokim Light scooter, and I’ve been itching to tell people about the scooter. I really love electric scooters, I fell in love with them living in NYC, as I rented a ton of lime scooters to get around. I’ve now owned three scooters, a mi scooter, ninebot, and now the Inokim light. Join me as I tell you about the different aspects of the scooter.
Generally speaking, the Inokim light has a great performance for its size. It’s a small, extremely light scooter with all the features a basic commuter scooter needs. First of all, it’s extremely fast for its size. It has a top speed of 35 km/h, however it comes speed-locked at 25 km/h. This, at least for me, was a pain, as you have to ‘jailbreak’ the scooter to get it to go faster. It took me forever to figure out how to do this, as it was hard for me to find a video explanation on how to do it, as you have to hold down the buttons to get to the menu; a video is attached explaining, but once I did it, the power is crazy considering its size. It handles inclines very well and can still reach top speeds over the load-bearing limit. The deck is surprisingly spacious and comfortable, with plenty of space to stand. The only negative about the scooter’s performance is the lack of suspension. The deck is also very low, so curbs and larger bumps can be a bit of a pain while riding.
The range is also pretty good for a smaller scooter. Its range is 45 km, which isn’t the most, however, it usually lasts me about 2 or 3 commutes. Even when it does die, or gets low on battery, it charges pretty quickly. Its official charge time is 5 and a half hours, but it has a usable amount of charge in just a couple of hours. Overall, the scooter performs well. It’s not necessarily a performance titan, but it does its job as a commuter scooter.
One of my draw points was the fold and lock mechanism and its weight. I live in Business Bay and work in the Marina, so commuting by car sucked, as it's in the direction of traffic every day. So one thing I looked for in the buying process was lightweight and foldable. The light fully lives up to this. Its folding mechanism is much better than some other scooters at its weight. My mi scooter and ninebot have similar mechanisms, but the fold and lock were manual. The Inokim locks automatically once folded and never unlocks until you kick the lever. I had issues with the mi scooter and ninebot locks, as the scooter would come open if you didn’t secure it well enough. The scooter itself looks very good. The design is sleek and unique. Plus, it comes in a range of colors. I have a blue one, but you can get it in white, green, and black. I love the design.
I truly love the Inokim light. Its specs aren’t flashy, however, it’s at the top end of small, portable commuter scooters. If you’re in the market for that kind of thing, I totally recommend it, as the pros hugely outweigh the cons of the scooter. In the future, I might be in the market to upgrade to something more high-powered, but for now, I love my Inokim Light and would recommend it to anyone looking for something to help with their commute.
