This is my first scooter, and I really wanted to take my time and buy something solid so I wouldn’t have any regrets. After a lot of research, I went with the ISIN S10Max and I’m really glad I did. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now and have taken it out around 8–9 times, really limited by how cold it’s been here in St. Louis... but every ride has been nice. The build quality feels strong and well thought out, and from the very first ride it felt stable.. Even as a first-time scooter owner, it was easy to get comfortable.
The ride itself is smooth.. It handles city streets, uneven sidewalks, and even grass extremely well, which really impressed me. The only real critique I have is the cruise control: holding the throttle for 3–5 seconds automatically engages it, which can be a bit annoying and catch you off guard, especially for me since a lot of my ride is stop and go, or at least fast-ish to slow, I'm a defensive driver lol. I think a separate button for cruise control, or maybe a double-tap on the throttle to activate it would be a much better design choice. Other than that minor issue, I absolutely love this scooter and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, well-performing ride, especially if you’re buying your first scooter and want to do it right.
One last minor gripe: the battery indicator. It’s displayed as a series of different-sized bars, which makes it harder than it should be to quickly understand how much charge is left. I really wish it showed a simple percentage instead. It feels like this was probably debated during design, and complexity nerds won out over clarity.
Overall - still excellent and highly recommend.
