The Unagi Model One (E500 Dual Motor) is a premium electric scooter designed for urban commuting, blending sleek aesthetics with practical functionality and a focus on rider experience. It aims to provide a lightweight, durable, and enjoyable ride for navigating city environments.
The Unagi Model One serves as a personal electric transportation device, offering a convenient and eco-friendly alternative for short to medium-distance travel. It is propelled by dual electric motors, one in each wheel, providing responsive acceleration and the ability to tackle inclines. The scooter is designed for easy portability, featuring a one-step folding mechanism that allows for quick storage and transport when not in use. Its primary function is to offer a smooth, stable, and controlled ride, making daily commutes or casual rides more efficient and enjoyable. The integrated lighting system ensures visibility during low-light conditions, enhancing safety for the rider.
The Unagi Model One is engineered with several features to enhance its usability and rider comfort. The "One-Step Folding Frame" allows the scooter to fold and lock with a single button press, utilizing a patented stainless steel hinge system for a smooth and satisfying action. This makes it highly portable, enabling riders to carry it into restaurants, stores, or onto public transport.
Riding is made comfortable and intuitive by the "Iconic Handlebar Design," crafted from magnesium alloy, which is the result of extensive structural engineering and numerous prototypes to achieve optimal ergonomics. The handlebar integrates a "Stunning LED Display" that provides essential ride information at a glance.
The scooter is equipped with "Brilliant Motors," specifically dual 250W motors, one in each wheel, delivering a combined 500 watts of power and over 32 newton meters of torque. This power enables the scooter to handle hills with inclines of up to 15 degrees with ease. Riders can select between different riding modes (Eco, Std, Pro) to adjust speed and power output according to their preference and riding conditions.
Safety is a key aspect of the Unagi Model One's design. It features "Confident Braking" with dual electronic anti-lock brakes, activated by a gentle push on an ergonomically optimized lever, bringing the scooter to a safe and steady stop. The scooter also includes a kick-to-start mode, a safety feature that prevents accidental throttle engagement by requiring the rider to kick off before the motor engages. For visibility, it is fitted with 1.8W high brightness LED headlights and LED taillights.
The scooter's construction utilizes advanced materials such as an "Aluminium Forged Frame" and a "Carbon Fibre TORAY Tube," contributing to its lightweight yet robust build. The tires are designed for durability and a smooth ride, being maintenance-free rubber tires suitable for various urban surfaces like cement and tarmac. The scooter has an IP54 water resistance rating, meaning it is splash-proof and can be ridden on damp streets, though riding in heavy rain or through deep puddles is discouraged for safety and to maintain the scooter's longevity.
The Unagi Model One is designed with several considerations to simplify maintenance and prolong its lifespan. The tires are described as "maintenance-free rubber tires," eliminating the need for inflation or puncture repairs commonly associated with pneumatic tires.
For battery longevity, the manual provides specific recommendations. It advises against fully discharging the lithium-ion battery before storing and suggests keeping the battery at a 40% charge state at a minimum. For optimal storage, it recommends a 40% charge level and a temperature of around 61 degrees Celsius, aligning with best practices from battery manufacturers. The scooter's charger is designed to prevent overcharging, automatically turning off once the battery is full.
The scooter's intelligent battery management system (BMS) incorporates safety features such as protection against temperature abnormality, short circuits, under-voltage automatic sleep, over-current, over-charge, and over-discharge, all contributing to the battery's health and safety.
In terms of general care, it is recommended to store the scooter in a safe, dry place away from long-term exposure to the elements, especially rain, despite its splash-proof rating. This helps to prolong the life of the scooter's components.
For assembly, should the handlebar need to be attached, the manual provides a specific screw-threading order (top front, top back, bottom front, bottom back) to ensure proper fit, addressing potential issues with manufacturing debris. Similarly, for a stuck folding mechanism, a simple fix is provided: while pushing down on both sides of the folding mechanism, gently smack the stem forward just beneath the handlebars/display to alleviate tension and allow it to fold.
The scooter's robust construction with an aluminum forged frame and carbon fiber tube is intended to provide inherent durability, reducing the need for frequent structural maintenance.
