The Inmotion Climber Earns Its Name

The Inmotion Climber is a relatively inexpensive dual motor electric scooter that is built to climb hills with ease. But is it really better at hill climbing than other similarly priced electric scooters? We find out in our review with three brutal hill climb tests.

Plus, we test real world range and top speed to find out if this scooter’s good to ride. The Climber is made by Inmotion, a company that’s famous for their electric unicycles, but we’ve only ever tested one other scooter made by them – or rather three variations of the same scooter – the Inmotion RS.

Can Inmotion also make a scooter that competes with the Segway Ninebot Max in terms of quality and reliability for daily commuting? That’s the other question we’re going to answer in our review.

Who Is This Scooter For?

The Inmotion Climber is for anybody who needs a reliable commuter but doesn’t need suspension. That means anyone who is considering the Segway Ninebot Max, not the G2, but the original Ninebot Max G30.

The prices of the Climber and the original Segway Ninebot Max are now identical. The range is basically identical, as are the build and ride quality. But the Climber has a higher rider weight limit at 286 pounds, and it’s got more performance, especially if you’re a heavier rider or you live in an area with a lot of hills.
