Durable hill-climber; heavy with limited range.

TL;DR: Hill climbing champ, great value, but lacks suspension.

alab_11I bought an inmotion climber recently in San Francisco, so far it has handled all the hills I've taken it up, though it will slow down quite a bit on steeper ones (~25%+ grade). The lack of a suspension is a bummer of bad roads, but I've had no other complaints so far! Had it for a couple months now.
Aromatic-Dig-8127Had my climber for 2yrs. LOVE it! Like the Toyota corolla of scoots! Also have the Segway GT3e. That's like a Bentley.
Bubs_Swayze_ExpressRecently purchased an inmotion climber instead of g30lp and it was the greatest decision
BuildingFair4320InMotion Climber isn't that good. The app always breaks down, and it takes me like 5 attempts to even lock the scooter.
Common-Pay-3869For 419 I’d say it’s a good deal. Was 639 on Amazon a few days ago. I bought one. A couple years ago and I thought it was cheaply built. But for 419 that’s hard to beat
DIAMOND91827Inmotion Climber is a beast for its price point, got over 1k miles on it and no problems at all except squeaky brakes
