Customer Reviews

This scooter has given so much fun to both teens and adults as it is excellent in all aspects — in speed, quietness, comfort, sturdiness. The quality itself is reflected in the perfect 5 stars it received from 17 users on Razor’s website:

Anjc1977, one buyer, talked about it here:

“My son was very excited to see the Razor E-Prime Scooter! My husband was able to set it up and no time and our son was outside riding. It took our son just a few minutes to figure out how to steer, speed up and break. Once he had down the mechanics, he was off! Our son really enjoyed the speed of the scooter and the ease in stopping. Our son was so excited, he brought the scooter to his friend’s house to house to ride. They both had a great time!”

Furthermore, here’s a review about the safety in riding and its main features:

“My son loved the Razor E Prime but was hesitant at first. It does go pretty fast for a scooter. I would advise you to wear a helmet and use it on the street and not uneven pavements. My son is about 135lbs and it worked great. My husband even used it and he’s about 200lbs. It charges pretty quickly after the initial full battery overnight charge. The handles are very sturdy and well made. It is a bit heavy but has a foot pedal to prop it up. The hand break is a plus. The sturdy feel is assuring that it won’t easily break apart. The tires are pretty thick and well made. The best part is… it’s quiet! It doesn’t make any noise when riding it.”

2. Kaiser Baas Revo E3 Scooter

Best Electric Scooter for Safety Features

Price: $849

Buy Now At The Market

When riding a scooter, safety is extremely important. And if you’re looking for a scooter that has safe and stylish features, the Kaiser Baas Revo E3 Electric Scooter is it!

Cruise Control enables you to ride smoothly at a maintained speed, making it super simple. It turns off automatically when you use the brake or as you switch off manually.

You can select from 3 speeds of Low (10kph), Medium (20kph) and High (25kph). The speed you currently have is shown on the scooter’s sleek LED display screen.

And unlike other electric scooters, the Revo E3 is built with front lights to illuminate your way at night. The fender light will even glow red in order to alert pedestrians or vehicles to your approach.

Furthermore — and this is probably its best feature — it has a removable battery. The benefit of this is that you can just take the battery rather than the entire scooter to charge it.

Also, the sleek and cool Revo E3 is foldable, which makes it easy to carry.

As it gets you to your destination safely and smoothly, this e-scooter surely ranks among the best electric scooters in New Zealand!

Highlights

• Safe and smooth ride
• Built to last with its aluminium frame
• Sleek, large LED display
• Cruise Control mode
• Equipped with LED front and rear lights
• Foldable
• Three speeds to pick from

Customer Reviews

One owner, John Morgan posted a comment on the Kaiser Baas website:

“My wife and I purchased one each of the new 350 model. Out of the box setup was easy and they go great. Very simple and easy to use. Battery life good too.”

3. Razor Power E100

Kids’ Choice

Price: NZ$399

Check It Out Here

This is a great electric scooter if you’re looking for something that your kids can use. Capable of taking weights of up to 54kg, this kid’s scooter uses an in-wheel hub motor that requires no alignment, chain, or belt for a nearly maintenance-free ride.

The motor can power the scooter to speeds of up to 18km/h and is a kick-start, 100W model. This is married to an extra-durable frame of aluminium and steel that your kids won’t be able to destroy easily.

The front tire is pneumatic, but the rear is airless. It’s also been tested and proven capable of standing 60mins of continuous use.

Highlights

• Max speed of 18kph
• Kick-start motor for easy operation
• Very durable design — aluminium and steel components
• Made for kids

Customer Reviews

Most users liked the easy operation and kid-friendly design of the scooter, although some also noted that they would have preferred the battery to last longer. Nevertheless, others noted that the company was fast at sending them a replacement battery. Here’s a review worth reading:

“After 3 charge cycles and a 180 pound man riding it hard, one of the two 12 volt batteries failed. I don’t believe weight or load was the cause of this, it ran well and the batteries went through full charge/discharge cycles. Until the last cycle when after a full 12 hour charge, one battery read 12.8v while the other was at 9v. Razor Company is kindly mailing me a replacement battery under warranty. However I replaced both 12v 6ah batteries with two 12v 9ah batteries (which required that I raise the deck 1/2”.). The scooter now rides longer and seems to have a little more torque available-top speed is expectedly unchanged. Good value over all, but the power core E90 lasts longer on one battery even with me on it. What you get with E100 is slightly more foot space, slightly taller handle bar, and a pneumatic front wheel.”

4. Inokim OX Super

Speed and Distance Champion

Price: NZ$2899

Check It Out Here

Round trips around and beyond the city are managed by the incredible power of Inokim OX Super! It rides on for a max speed of 46kph and the distance it can reach is a sure winner at 100km.

The Inokim OX Super comes with a brushless motor and a 60V battery responsible for its power and speed. Your braking distance is at 3 metres easing down from a 20kph speed.

Weighing 28kg gives it a bit of poor score in portability, admittedly. But it’s forgivable when you consider other details such as it being able to support up to 120kg of weight.

Refilling the battery for this will take you 12 hours too, so that’s another thing to remember. Don’t forget to charge it when you get home after your trip!

Plus, the scooter comes with a bright LED tail and front lights.

The Inokim brand is beloved by adults and children alike internationally. It’s no wonder that the Inokim OX is indeed one marvellous heavy-duty beast! 

Highlights

• Max speed up to 46kph
• Uses brushless motor for increased efficiency
• Powerful for riding uphill
• Popular brand in many countries 

Customer Reviews

In terms of sheer power and distance, many owners admit this one is hard to beat. It comes with tradeoffs, sure, such as a heft and charging time that goes above those of other scooters — but many still say the tradeoff is worth it.

Here’s a review from Dave Y:

“The Ox Super was delivered in just a few days and I am so happy with my purchase! It has power, comfort, range and looks amazing. Easily the best eScooter on the market. Even better if you upgrade standard rear disc brake to a hydraulic hybrid caliper. Five plus stars highly recommended!!!”

Chrystopher Propster also reviewed it:

“While I didn’t buy this scooter on Amazon, I saw that they were offering it here and had to leave a review. This scooter is by far the best on the market for the price. The speed is there but the real luxury is in the build of the scooter. It is the mot comfortable ride because of how the weight is distributed and the quality of the suspension. If you need a scooter to get around your city, this is the one.”

Price: NZ$549

Find It On Gotrax

You can find another awesome scooter in the GOTRAX GXL V2. Its fastest speed clocks at 25kph within a radius of 15-20km, short compared to that of the Inokim but tied with that of the ES2.

It uses a 250W motor and is equipped with 2 8.5-inch pneumatic tyres that make riding on battered surfaces and unexpected potholes manageable.

And it is only 10kg, besides taking no time to fold over and travel around with.

Highlights

• Mid-range scooter with 25kph and a 20km distance
• Shock absorbing 8.5” tyres
• Extremely light 10kg
• Charges in 3-4 hours 

Customer Reviews

This is a great little scooter that may serve a lot of riders well, but owners do warn that its light weight means it is best used by light (and careful) users. Some even called it “fragile”, especially compared to more robust options, so that’s something to consider about this model.

One user, David, gave an in-depth review, even coming back after some time to update it. It reads:

“On my last ride I went about 5 miles through a hilly college campus with lots of elevation change, starting from a full charge. The scooter performed well with good acceleration and only struggled on the steeper hills (not sure what angle the hill was, but it’s difficult to walk up these hills for a long period of time). The brakes worked great as well and I always felt like I was in control (see suggestions below). When I returned I still had 3 out of 4 bars, even though I suspect that it may be approaching 2 bars (see cons below). The handling was nimble enough to move around other pedestrians with ease, and yet still sturdy at higher speeds. I did not get a reliable top speed measurement since I wasn’t able to find a stretch of flat road that was long enough, but even so, I reaching about 16 mph easily without full throttle. (rider weight, hill angle, and battery level will be the main deciding factors for top speed)”

Customer Reviews

According to the reviews on PbTech, some of the owners of the scooter got lights that were not working, parts breaking down, and flat tyres. However, most of the complaints were actually about its slowdown on inclines and similar road conditions.

Some owners suggest this may be due to rider weight. One owner, Tim, said:

“I bought the Mi to commute. It’s an extremely well built, but underpowered for a heavier adult like myself, so if your over 80kg i would look for something with at least a 800 – 1000W motor. It’s 100KG rating is a bit optimistic. It noticeably slows down in head winds and will struggle even on slight inclines. The lack of suspension makes it a hard ride. This scooter nonetheless has brought a big smile on my face and changed my view on eScooters.”

In spite of these concerns, others commented that it was speed consistent, pollution-free, and saved extra gas costs. Simon said:

“Excellent service from PB Tech and excellent price too. Nice Scooter with build-in apps, always know how much battery is left and how much distance can travel. Average speed is 20+km/hour and can do more than 25 Km.”
