The Anyhill UM-1 is a foldable electric scooter designed for urban commuting, targeting riders who prioritize portability and ease of use in city environments. It positions itself in the entry-to-mid-range segment with a lightweight aluminum alloy frame and a one-click folding mechanism intended to make carrying and storage straightforward. The UM-1 is geared toward everyday commuters looking for a compact, manageable scooter rather than a high-performance or long-range model. Anyhill is a California-based brand that also offers the UM-2, a sibling model with a higher top speed.

The Segway Max G2 builds on its predecessor with an extended range of up to 43 miles, front and rear suspension, a powerful rear motor, and 10-inch self-healing tires. Featuring a 551 Wh battery and robust 265 lb weight capacity, it's a dependable, durable commuter scooter—though its weight and price prioritize longevity and performance over absolute portability or affordability.
The Segway E3 Pro is a lightweight, affordable commuter scooter packed with modern features—elastomer suspension, Apple Find My, customizable lighting, and turn signals—all at just 40 pounds. With a sleek design, refined ride comfort, and robust tech, it’s a standout choice under $700, ideal for new riders and daily commuters. For Segway's next scooter, definite improvements would be range and water resistance.
The NAVEE V50 is a budget commuter scooter with a unique handlebar folding mechanism Jimmy and Andrew have never seen before — the handlebars rotate and lock directly into the steering pole, creating a slim, rigid folded profile. Beyond that standout feature, the V50 delivers disc brakes, a sharp landscape display, IP55 water resistance, and a hidden AirTag slot. The criticism list is short but honest: the display scratches easily, the app is a repurposed smart home platform that feels out of place, and the tubed tires are more flat-prone than tubeless alternatives. For budget-conscious commuters who want the most portable, weather-ready scooter in the category, the V50 is well worth a look.
The Rion Apex is the pinnacle of electric scooters that boasts unmatched craftsmanship, performance, and cutting-edge features like dual Tronic VESC controllers, PMT tires, and a proprietary throttle. Handcrafted in the USA, it delivers an ultra-smooth, high-speed ride but comes with a hefty price and long wait time. For serious riders, it’s worth every penny.
The Ausom GoSoul 2 Pro is a $799 dual motor scooter that actually hits its claimed 36 mph top speed — 36.5 mph GPS verified — making it the fastest electric scooter our team has tested at this price point. Andrew and Jimmy put it through extensive real world testing, covering everything from hill climbs, brake tests, and power slides, coming away impressed by the value packed into the price point: tubeless tires, NFC and PIN security, accurate display, and dual motor hill climbing capability that most scooters in this class simply cannot match. The criticism list is worth mentioning but very manageable — the center steering notch takes adjustment, the deck needs grip tape, and the turn signal button needs a redesign — but none of it changes the enthusiasm we have for this product.
