This powerful e-scooter features plenty of speed while also offering responsive braking.
TheInmotion Climberpromises to tackle the hills that would prove otherwise insurmountable.
With dual motors promising speed and climbing potential, it’s seemingly all one could desire in an e-scooter.
In practical use, this makes for a very familiar feeling when transporting the scooter.
However, the differences become much more apparent in other areas.
Unlike the S1, the Inmotion Climber lacks any suspension system.
Similarly, this allows for speedy acceleration that can deliver speeds of up to 23.7 mph.
It can hit a potential 35 miles, however, this is under much more ideal, controlled configs.
Heavier riders, maximum speeds, and more difficult terrain will all lower your expected mileage.
For the little construction needed, it’s a very quick affair.
Attaching the kickstand requires a simple alignment with two screws to fasten it in.
In comparison, attaching the handlebars to the neck takes slightly more precision.
If you want to track ride statistics, it can also prove valuable there.
It also can sometimes prove slow to update the total mileage.
The minor bugs or hiccups that can occur typically relate to the scooter needing to be reconnected.
These provide the necessary grip and the power for a variety of terrain.
Unfortunately, the Climber isn’t equipped with the dual-shock absorption system of the S1 scooter.
This means you’ll feel everything on bumpier parts of your ride.
To help with safety, the Climber features electronic brakes on both tires.
Letting the Climber naturally slow down with a gentle brake tool suffices in most cases.
Thanks to the responsiveness of the motors, this also allows for effortless speed adjustment when handling turns.
Each of the three modes has potential speed restrictions to fit various riders.
The standard Dynamic mode handles speeds up to 15mph.
More experienced riders will likely want to swap to the Sport mode which achieves speeds of up to 23mph.
For nighttime or dusk riders, the Climber features a single bright light.
It’s never blinding; it’s sufficiently bright even during early dusk.
This can also be activated via the single control button or the Inmotion app.
However, you’ll want to lift appropriately to avoid any potential muscle injuries.
Like with the S1, it can fit easily into most car trunks.
However, it also worked fine in both a mid-sized sedan and a compact car’s back seat.
As such, it’s best practice to charge the Inmotion Climber after any lengthier commute.
Should You Buy the Inmotion Climber?
Bigger riders may miss the comfort of a larger riding deck or even taller handlebars.
However, the InMotion Climber capitalizes on its niche.
It offers plenty of power, reliable safety features, and sufficient range for shorter commutes.
