The RS Lite comes with a 72V 30Ah battery, offering a maximum range of approximately 75 miles (120 km). While the range is slightly reduced compared to the RS, it remains substantial for daily commuting and recreational use.
Design and Features
Both models share a robust design with adjustable features to enhance rider comfort. They are constructed from aero-grade aluminium, ensuring durability. The adjustable handlebar height accommodates riders of various statures, promoting an ergonomic riding posture. The spacious deck and efficient hydraulic suspension system, featuring a C-shaped design with 11-stage adjustable hydraulic damping, ensure a comfortable and secure ride across various surfaces.
A standout feature in both scooters is the four-level adjustable suspension system, allowing riders to modify the footboard height from 183mm to 303mm. This adaptability makes the scooters versatile for different terrains, from smooth urban roads to challenging off-road paths. Adjustments can be made swiftly using a simple lever or knob.
Safety Features
Safety is a priority in both models. They are equipped with comprehensive lighting systems, including bright headlights, taillights, and side lights, ensuring visibility during night rides. The braking system combines hydraulic disc brakes with electronic braking, providing reliable stopping power. Additionally, both scooters have an IPX6 body certification and IPX7 battery protection, offering resilience against dust and water exposure.
Weight and Portability
The RS weighs approximately 130 lbs (59 kg), which may pose challenges in portability and storage for some users.
The RS Lite is slightly lighter at 116 lbs (53 kg), offering a more manageable option for those concerned with portability without significantly compromising on performance.
Price Point
The Inmotion RS is priced at £3,845, reflecting its advanced capabilities, crazy power and extensive range.
