Unagi Model One (E500)

Zero 8X
Comparison: Unagi Model One (E500) VS Zero 8X Electric Scooters
The Unagi Model One and the Zero 8X electric scooters offer impressive features – a sleek design, high power, and impressive speed. However, they have subtle differences.
The Unagi Model One (E500), for example, beautifully combines sophistication and technology. It boasts an elegant, lightweight design paired with dual 250w motors, generating a power of 500w – hence the E500 in its name. Its top speed of 17 mph combines with a range of 15.5 miles per charge. For riders looking for portability, this is a perfect pick weighing in at only 26.5 lbs. The single-button LED display makes it easy to operate. However, its inability to perform well on steep hills and the stiff ride are some drawbacks.
On the other hand, the Zero 8X electric scooter is a heavy-duty model designed for long-distance travel. Equipped with two powerful 800w motors, it provides a total motor power of 1600w. It has a top speed of 34 mph and can cover up to 50 miles per charge. This scooter is larger and heavier, weighing 63 lbs, and comes with dual disc brakes and spring suspension. However, it might be less portable, and the higher top speed and range result in a longer charge time.
In summary, the Unagi seems more suitable for light daily commuting or city travel, while the Zero 8X is built for longer distances and more challenging terrains.
