iScooter i9Max 500W Commuting Electric Scooter Reviews

When I first laid eyes on the iScooter i9Max, I wasn’t expecting it to pack such a punch for £300 and so. But after a few weeks of riding it around London, I can confidently say it’s one of the most enjoyable and practical scooters I’ve ever owned.

Power and Performance

Under the hood, the 500 W motor is no gimmick. It’s got enough torque to carry me smoothly up to 21.7 mph (35 km/h), which feels thrilling yet stable. I even managed a decent climb on a 20% gradient without it struggling too much – quite impressive for a scooter in this price bracket.

The range is equally satisfying. With a 10.4 Ah (374.4 Wh) battery, I’ve been hitting around 24 miles (40 km) per charge under mixed riding conditions. It’s enough for several commutes or an entire day of errands without constantly worrying about plugging it in.

Comfort and Handling

The front and rear double suspension makes a huge difference. London streets are full of potholes, uneven tarmac, and the occasional cobblestone nightmare, yet the i9Max handled them with ease. The 10-inch honeycomb solid tyres mean I don’t have to worry about punctures – a huge relief for someone who’s had more than their fair share of mid-ride tyre disasters.

At 15.45 kg (34 lbs), it’s light enough to fold and carry onto a train, but still feels robust. The IP54 water resistance rating means a light rain shower doesn’t send me into a panic, though I still wouldn’t recommend riding in heavy downpours.

Safety and Braking

Lighting is solid here – there’s a front headlight for night visibility and a brake light at the back for signalling. The braking system combines a front electronic brake with a rear disc brake, giving me confident stopping power even when riding at top speed.

Usability and Extras

The i9Max pairs with the MiniRobot app, which lets me check my speed, lock the scooter, and monitor the battery right from my phone. The handlebar layout is clean, and I appreciate the generous 264 lbs (120 kg) load capacity, which easily accommodates me and a small backpack.

The folded dimensions of 115 x 55 x 117 cm make it compact enough for home storage or tucking under a desk.

Who’s it for?

I’d recommend the i9Max to urban commuters who want a balance of speed, comfort, and portability without spending a fortune. It’s perfect for people living in cities with mixed road conditions, students who need something light yet powerful, and even weekend riders who want to explore without worrying about battery range. If you value low maintenance (thanks to the solid tyres) and the ability to climb moderate hills with ease, this scooter fits the bill.

Final Thoughts

The iScooter i9Max is a surprisingly capable scooter for the price. It’s quick, comfortable, and packed with practical features that make daily commuting a joy rather than a chore. It’s not just a budget option – it’s a serious contender in the mid-range scooter market.

For anyone looking for a reliable, punchy, and comfortable electric scooter that won’t break the bank, I can honestly say the i9Max has exceeded my expectations.
