the unagi model one is a sleek, zero-emission, light-weight electric scooter

in a world that’s rapidly changing, people are opting for new transportation methods which are more convenient, personal and safe in times of social distancing. the unagi model one electric scooter is exactly what many may be looking for — a zero-emission scooter that is able to travel long distances on a charge, tackle hills with ease, and smooths over rough road surfaces. designed with durability, structural integrity, and a minimal aesthetic, the company claims this ride will give you an experience like no other.

‘we first introduced the unagi model one because we saw a clear need for an alternative to modern mobility options,’ comments unagi CEO and founder david hyman. ‘we didn’t want to design “just another scooter” — instead, we wanted to liberate people from the tyranny of the costs, inconvenience, and carbon emissions of traditional transportation.’

the all new usagi model one E500 is equipped with 500 watts of power and at only 26 lbs, its sleek and light dual-motor delivers a top speed of 19 mph with 32 newton meters of torque. the scooter is able to travel long distances on a single charge, tackle hills with ease, and smooth over rough road surfaces via patented air gaps ingeniously embedded in the tires. one gentle push on the ergonomically optimized lever and the dual electronic anti-lock brakes bring the rider to a safe, steady stop. on top of that, unagi’s solid rubber 7.5” wheels are puncture-proof, so they’ll never go flat.

unagi’s design puts portability before anything else. weighing just 24 pounds, it’s one of the lightest e-scooters out there. unagi also has a patented “one-click” hinge system, allowing the scooter to fold and lock with a push of a button. this engineering breakthrough makes it dramatically easier to fold and carry than every other scooter on the market. unagis also have carbon fiber shafts, a magnesium alloy handlebar and forks which provide unmatched strength to weight ratios.
