Inmotion - RS Jet

I tested rode the inmotion jet at an EV expo, I blew a controller while riding it and it wouldnt go above 10mph. Before that happened, I leaned hard to make a sharp turn and the kickstand caught on the pavement, nearly knocked me off.

I have the RS Jet and the inability to change the handlebars is disappointing. I wish for more forward rake to offset the aggressive stem take:(

I like the inmotion RS Jet and Midnight when I test drove them. I feel like the Apollo had a better durability. I should have probably spent more time on them. Me and the misses went with Teverun Mini Pros(my 4th choice). We wanted a great scooter at lower speeds, hill climber, and light. The Teverun Fighter Supreme was an amazing tank. It was too heavy for putting in the truck without a ramp. The Daytona would have been an awesome off-road scooter. Another tank with all kinds of bells and whistles. I have a Segway, mini-motors, and a Inokim. So test drive, test drive, test drive.

Rule of thumb is, the higher the performance, the worse the water resistance will be. I wait a day after it rains before I’ll take my 7260R out. They claim high water resistance like IP65 but in reality, the faster a scooter goes, the more cooling it needs for its motor, batteries and controllers and cooling means airflow. Any place where air can get in, water can also ingress. The only hyperscooter I would trust as actually being “waterproof” is the INMOTION RS 2.0, anything outside of that I haven’t seen any real world testing to convince me otherwise. https://preview.redd.it/dqgjwwz17v4g1.jpeg?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=537d6ee97455bc0174be800068dd3216b7093856

INMOTION RS is the go to for super scooters. It’s getting a little long in the tooth now though. It’s waiting on a “refresh” to upgrade some components like the screen and wiring harness. I just ordered the Teverun 7260R, that has some really cool features like a built in GPS module that can geofence your scooter or give you an alert if someone takes it. It’s also probably the most powerful 72v production scooter available right now and has the best battery with a 60AH pack with a high discharge rate that allows for moddability. There’s the NAMI Burn-E Max 3. NAMI is the scooter company Apollo wishes it was. Build quality and engineering is next level. Super fast, built like a tank. Everyone who has one around here loves theirs. There’s the Roadrunner RX7 which is the equivalent of a riced out Honda Civic, it has Lumilor panels that are like massive LED sheets and it comes with Italian PMT tires and upgraded brakes as well as a removable battery. It had some issues when it first came out but they appear to be working out the kinks. There’s also stuff like the Kaabo WK-GTR or the Mars XTR but I’m not super versed on them. That’s just a few off the top of my head. Obviously I’m gonna push the 7260R because it’s what I chose but hyperscooters fill a lot of niches and I’d look into it more to see what you want.

In motion all,day everyday. Realize it’s a big heavier scooter so if you aren’t having to,fold and carry regularly it’s the scooter to purchase IMO.

Well put it this way, besides the probably big weight and size difference, you can always power down the RS, can’t power up the phantom. I use my big ass Burn E as my everyday scooter. I tried using the Vsett I bought for my gf, but yeah the power isn’t there, plus she has the acceleration turned down a bit. Like 3/5. So I don’t feel comfortable getting a good lead in front of traffic. Of course when it’s gets up to speed it’s not issue. No customizable modes so I’d have to go in the p setting every time to change it. Sure, it’s easier to whip around… but that’s about it. I will lug my scooter everywhere because I can switch from granny mode to balls to the wall in two button presses, with my regular riding mode dead smack in the middle. 52v vs 72v is no joke. I’d go with the RS and call it a day. With all of that said, unless you’re dealing with stairs, the widest part on scooters is the handlebars, you can always put it on the lowest mode if you need to walk with it. Also: being able to adjust the ride height on the RS makes a huge difference. With the stem *and* the deck. Also also: had no idea the 52v phantom is just as heavy as my 72v burn e (102lbs), just about the same top speed as well. So weight is out the window

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty sure the Phantom has its own customization going on where my issue isn’t an issue on that scooter. And the phantom is way stronger than the Vsett. I was just speaking from my experience. It’s really about what controller and motor is packing. But all in all a 72v scooter like the RS is a very different experience power wise than the Phantom. I personally rather have the power for when I really wanna get a thrill. Even though my scoot can go up to 45, I’m mostly near 30, but the torque I have at hand is frickin nuts, and that’s just the weaker base model hauling 220lbs. It’s frightening when my girl rides it, she’s like almost 140. The RS has even more torque. If I didn’t hear so many issues coming from it, I’d recommend the RS Jet. Punch in a smaller form factor. It’s so tiny looking

Tell that to my Inmotion RS with the stock steering damper 😅 wobbles appear at a maybe 3/10 severity when they do appear though, really controllable

There's nothing wrong with the RS at all, though. It's tops imo. highway speeds are no issue, and freeway speed, if youre insane can also be done easily. But I live upstairs, and there is no elevator. Wooooo, that was fun the first 3 times. I need to look into yours, and for what it's worth, I've not yet adjusted my steering damper, so the issue can be eliminated

That does change the equation to have a Segway store nearby. If they allow test rides, and you like the scooter in person that's a pretty big advantage. You also shouldn't be getting the run around with any potential warranty issues. GT3 Pro was on my list before I learned of potentially better options. I had GT3 Pro, Inmotion RS, and Apollo Phantom Stellar on my list as desirable scooters around the same price range. After relearning about the GSPACE Mars GT/GTR, and looking into it more, it floated to the top of the list. But if I had a Segway store near me, GT3 Pro would become a competitive candidate again just for the advantages of having a local store/dealer. On the other hand, I'm within driving distance of the Kaabo distributor, and I still wouldn't consider them based on the potential issues with their scooters. So I'd doubly avoid buying a used Kaabo. Also pretty sure the GT3 Pro is 72V.

If you have a substantial budget for an escooter, there are but 2 superior scooters that remain the most stable you can find. Those being the inmotion RS and the GSpace (TeeWing) Mars. Nami by all accounts are supposedly extremely good also, but if I had that sort of a budget, I'd get the inmotion RS (Midnight i think is a revised edition upgrading the controllers that were unreliable) or possibly the inmotion JET (it has a much easier deck height system adjustment mechanism, a really cool feature)

Inmotion RS is the truth, light, and scooter life way, my friend. Bless your righteous quest 🙏

Yup. Since it was pretty order. Every part is easy to work on and such. Watch gingers channel for his shouts and yogi Steve from electric scooter academy to prove the point. Yogi does more miles in a month than most yearly riders. You want true blue numbers and the truth without hype/marketing is free there. You get what you spend to a point. Ride well my brother
