Inmotion - Climber

Recently purchased an inmotion climber instead of g30lp and it was the greatest decision

Inmotion climber! Zips my 230lbs around the hills of Seattle at 20mph.

Can say ive got two inmotion climber and both hit 20mph uphill and 25mph downhill. Im a small dude though and only ~170pounds. Weight will make a significant difference when doing hill climbs.

inmotion climber on sale for $419 on their website BF100 coupon code. I'm the primary rider, but my 7 year old can ride the inmotion climber too. So I'm sure your 14 year old can handle it. Have him use D mode for 3 months before he move to S mode. D mode limits to 16mph, S mode goes around 21-22mph, although can go 24 down hills.

Okay, I run a non monetized YouTube channel helping people with stuff like this. My recommendation is the Inmotion Climber. I live in San Francisco and recommended it to a friend who bought one and he likes it. The only drawbacks that you want to look out for in case it matters to you is the overall weight of it and that it does not have suspension, but it will work on even San Francisco hills. Charging will take awhile too b/c the charger charges at low amps to protect the longevity of the battery. IP56 water proof rating. You can't find a better deal for a dual motor scooter from a reputable company designed to conquer hills. You're welcome to use my discount code, FUNCENTRIC and if you sign up for their emails, I think they're still offering an additional $50 off. $699 for it is a steal. I did see it on sale sometimes for $599 which is ridiculously low. I got my original escooter before rental scooters were a thing 8 years ago and paid $650 for a much lower spec scooter. These things have come a long way since then. I worked at the Inmotion booth this past weekend at the Electrify Expo teaching people to ride some of their products. It's a legit company that has real USA presence and interacts with its customer base.

$419 is a crazy good deal for the climber. Do you need to enter a coupon, or it's automatic? I spun the wheel thing, and got a $200 off $1000 coupon, so would need to buy 2 climbers to get the $419 price! I'd go with the climber vs the segway as the dual motors and split rims are big advantages. Also I got the (ironically G30) seat and it fits the climber perfectly: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRFK1Y8C?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRFK1Y8C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) The brackets they send didn't work as there isn't enough room, so I just use some plastic shims to prevent the screws from scratching up the aluminum deck. It just arrived today, and was a blast to ride with the seat, seems even more fun than standing up.

About 100 miles in, pulling the steering column up when going over mild bumps so it doesn't slam directly into them. No stem issues. It will start to lose acceleration, but maintain the ability to keep you at the rated maximum speed at around half battery.

The climber has been a very solid scooter so far for me with around 100 miles on it, but I believe the motors are rated at 450w nominal voltage, each. I avoid using max voltage ratings when describing scooters, it can get confusing. I'm a big guy and it gets me around great. A little bit slow on hills but it does get me to the top.

It depends on what you're looking for. The Inmotion Climber is dual motor. It peaks at a rated 1500w whereas the Max G2 peaks at 1000 across a single motor. Inmotion Climber has water proof ratings whereas the Segway does not. Inmotion's design is modular making swapping parts out easier. I haven't kept an eye on Segway so I don't know if Max G2 really was ever $1,400. I'm guessing not. That would be way over priced for the spec. Climber is designed as a climber so naturally, the incline hill climbing rating is way higher than the Max G2. I imagine if the Max G2 is as similar to the M365 which was the choice of rental scooter companies, it would be durable. Anti skid feature of the Max G2 is interesting. Find My is kinda cool but I think gimmicky.

For hills, nothing beats the Inmotion Climber for the money. Feel free to use my discount code, FUNCENTRIC. If you sign up for their emails, I think you can get an additional discount on top of that. The Inmotion Climber has been tested and true for hills. I recommended it to a friend and he did end up buying it. I've tried it. It's legit. Mechanical cable brakes though, not the lightest thing in the world. But legit reputable company, built in turn signals, true waterproof ratings and modular design are excellent features hard to find for the price.

GSPACE getting a lot of love lately. Inmotion seems pretty good with parts. Depending on what long term means, it may be cheaper to buy a used one for parts years down the road, could be cheaper than buying just a few parts new. For example, my inmotion climber has replacement battery pack for $280 or so. But they are selling a new one for $419, so for $140 more I can get a whole new scooter, so it'd make more sense to just buy a new one than a replacement battery pack.

August this year. It's got the turn signals. It's largely replaced a car for all single person quick trips for grabbing something to eat, or doing one person's worth of groceries for the week.

Honestly, I think the Apollo Go would be a pretty incremental upgrade in fun from your utilitarian G2. If you really must try it in person before purchase, maybe go join some sort of local ride meetup and see if you can try some people's different scooters at the meetup. You can also go to the electrify expo and test ride scooters there, which apparently occurs in July in Seattle: [https://www.electrifyexpo.com/seattle?srsltid=AfmBOooEGKlKka8Z58Rt1JBAGMSzDyPs4o6sXhFZoD03x2aHjjOTf8qX](https://www.electrifyexpo.com/seattle?srsltid=AfmBOooEGKlKka8Z58Rt1JBAGMSzDyPs4o6sXhFZoD03x2aHjjOTf8qX) If you can find the scooter on amazon, preferably shipped prime with amazon as the seller, you have until Jan 31st to return it if you don't like it. Otherwise you gotta just take the risk of eating the restocking fee cost. The inmotion is on sale at amazon again for $467, or $476 with a phone mount. Amazon sells older version of the vmax, but not the new ones they released in 2025. And I think the older ones only went up to 25mph. At this point I think you have played up in your head how fun the Go can be...lol. I know the feeling, and often times you end up disappointed. I say if you're going to bother upgrading at all, go for something with a bigger difference than the Go. Unfortunately most of them are going to be over 60 lbs. Under 60 lbs you're kind of limited to probably just the newer Vmax scooters. I do see Vmax as a participant in electrify expo seattle, so maybe try to attend the next one to test ride one, or find a local to try their's out.

The best ones right now in my opinion are: Cheap starter scooter: Hover-1 journey 2.0 $160 on amazon for the yellow. Get this first so you get practice and learn how you'll actually use the scooter and what you like or don't like about it. Midrange scooter: inmotion climber for $419 on their website with coupon code. Super solid, climbs any hills you're going to encounter, fast enough to give you a thrill, and cheaper than equivalent performing segway ninebots. Also IP56 water resistance so you can ride in the rain with confidence, and has very through maintenance video on youtube, and relatively easy to get parts for. Hyper scooter: GSPACE MARS series from $2000 for the ECO to $3300 or so for the GTR. Goes 50-60 mph depending on model, with 30-50 miles range. Has option for awesome seat to make it a mini moped/moto. You're not going to need more scooter than this, and it has the versatility to take you wherever you might consider going on a scooter.

I got the inmotion climber, it's been great so far had it for 2 months and put 150ish miles on it already

For that same price I'd get inmotion climber available on their website for $419 with BF100 coupon code. You'll get more power and range than this hiboy.

Recently purchased an inmotion climber instead of g30lp and it was the greatest decision

Another option is the Inmotion Climber, which is what I have. I added a seat designed for the segway G30 to it, and it's even more fun with the seat. It's available from imotion for $419 with BF100 coupon, maybe need a different coupon code now. It's also available from Amazon with phone mount for $476, which gets you the benefit of Amazon's awesome customer service and Jan 31st to return it. I added this seat on it, and just added some plastic shims between the screws and the deck to prevent scratching the deck, as the included plastic trims are too big: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRFK1Y8C](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRFK1Y8C) I don't know how fast the G2 goes, but the inmotion goes 21-22 mph sustained, which is noticeably more fun than 16 or 18 mph. The Go does go even faster,; probably 25-26, so maybe even more fun? But not sure if it's 2X more fun than the inmotion climber! Finally I think climber accelerates faster than the Go, and acceleration is fun!

Inmotion climber is IP56. My kid is 7 years old and is able to ride it, although the brake lever is a little longer to reach for his smaller hands. 10 year old brake lever should be fine. If he's good at kick scooter already, electric scooter should be an easy transition. Otherwise, get a cheap kick scooter and have him practice on that first.

I second the Inmotion Climber. I like the fact that it looks like any other generic scooter that won't attract too much attention. However this thing is built solid like a tank and will get you up inclines faster than many $1000+ scooters. I was fortunate to pick up a slightly used one on facebook for only $300 with less than 50 miles on it. I now have almost 800 miles on it and never had any issues. Basic maintenance will make thing last a long time!

Climber is 2x 750w and still pulls me up hills at 18mph once the battery is on its last bar. It REALLY doesnt care about acceleration degradation, at the cost of top speed being 20, no suspension, and just a rear disc brake

Can say ive got two inmotion climber and both hit 20mph uphill and 25mph downhill. Im a small dude though and only ~170pounds. Weight will make a significant difference when doing hill climbs.

It really depends on if you want to go fast, commute, go up flight of stairs, need to do lot of miles... As a big rider too I just bought the inmotion climber, relatively fast, very light, dual motor so it carry me up hill. But not a big battery and it doesn't have suspension.

I have a climber 1300 miles no major problems. I got mine for 600, my brother has one too. Not sure if the price will stay at 700 or not. But there probably promos to get it down to at least 650

i'd DEFINITELY sell you my inmotion climber for 450, zero issues, solid scooter and still has a 10 month protection plan on it

As a rider of all PEV's and knowing their place and use case and valuing them all for their uniqueness, I would highly recommend that you strongly consider an escooter over an ebike. escooters have way better value. For $1,000 you're getting an amazing scooter. For $1,000, you'd be getting an overpriced $700 ebike. These days escooters will take hills nicely (Inmotion Climber for under $700). They're having a sale now. You can use my coupon code, FUNCENTRIC and i think if you sign up for their emails, they're offering additional discounts. Segway also has some legit escooterse as well. NIU may also be an option. If you buy an ebike, the budget ones really start at about $1,300 unless it's on sale. Aventon I think has a sale on some stuff that's under that price that's legit.

Inmotion climber! Zips my 230lbs around the hills of Seattle at 20mph.

I read the whole thing. I've been recommending the Inmotion climber to some folks that I'd feel it would be a good match. Reasons not to get it is if you plan on using just the stock charger and are not okay with the slow charging. It charges at low amps likely to keep the battery in good condition. As you noted, it doesn't have suspension but that doesn't matter to you. It's a dual motor scooter and currently the best value for one and will handle great for someone your weight. Great too that it's from a reputable company. I paid more for a substantially lower spec scooter 8 years ago. I weigh a bit more and rode my friend's Climber after he got it per my recommendation. It's not the fastest scooter but will pick up in acceleration quite quickly in sport mode. If you end up getting this or any other Inmotion product, you're welcome to use my coupon code for a discount, FUNCENTRIC. I'm pretty sure Inmotion is also still offering $50 off for signing up for their emails. Do that and you'll get double discounts. So that from www.inmotionworld.com/funcentric and I assume they'll be sending you the current trim.

I got a hover-1 journey max for my 7 year old when it was $210 on amazon, it's now $299. You can still get the journey 2.0 in green for $162. But even at 7 he can ride my inmotion climber, just his hands are still a little small so a little harder for him to push on the brakes. in motion climber can be had for $419 with coupon code on their website or $467 from amazon. So journey 2.0 you spend $162 maybe they ride it for a couple years, maybe they get bored and don't ride it much. If they ride it a lot, you can upgrade after a couple years. With climber, they can ride it until the battery dies in 5-10 year or whatever. I have a neighbor high school kid has ridden his gotrax over 2k miles, so teenagers definitely do find these scooters useful, and the climber can last through high school basically for your kid, if the battery can manage to hang on that long.
