Had my climber for 2yrs. LOVE it! Like the Toyota corolla of scoots! Also have the Segway GT3e. That's like a Bentley.

InMotion Climber isn't that good. The app always breaks down, and it takes me like 5 attempts to even lock the scooter.

For 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

Inmotion Climber is a beast for its price point, got over 1k miles on it and no problems at all except squeaky brakes

I too have a climber as my daily driver scoot. I Picked up an EUC, an Aero, mostly because it's significantly smaller while going the same speed and more, once you become confident enough at handling the fact that you only have one wheel and are reliant on your balance. It'll rip up hills before wind pressure and inclines force me to accelerate slower at 26 MPH, but before that it GOES. It satisfies the "Go faster" itch by virtue of feeling faster and getting more adrenaline going because of the inherent risk involved, it fits in a gym locker, and you can sit on it while it self balances when you go out and have to stop for pedestrian crossings, or are just sitting in line. You probably won't even enjoy going 30 on a scooter, TBH. Used to have an Ausom that could, and it felt more sterile than the climber without the fun factor.

Climber is 2x 750w and still pulls me up hills at 18mph once the battery is on its last bar. It REALLY doesnt care about acceleration degradation, at the cost of top speed being 20, no suspension, and just a rear disc brake

Inmotion Climber. Turn signals on the handlebars. Accelerates to 20 under most uphills, or close enough to 20 that you wouldn't notice the difference.

Inmotion climber is the one, ninebot scooters are weak, and dont even consider appollo. If you can afford it, you should really consider a 60 or 72v scooter like the teverun GT2, they are like actual vehicles for adults to use to commute, not fancy toys like the cheaper scooters. Not everyone wants to ride st 50 mph, but a big fast scooter is so much safer and more capable even at 15mph. I owned a vsett 9+, and it felt much more dangerous at its top speed of 32 than my teverun feels at 50+mph But the inmotion climber is fine if youre on a budget, I actually just did a 23 mile round trip ride with another redditor who owns a climber and he made it back with 15% left. He lives in San Francisco, so it must be fine on the hills
