INMOTION Climber vs iScooter i9 Electric Scooter

The INMOTION Climber is the stronger scooter: dual 750W motors, a 36% climb grade, 38 km/h top speed, 56 km range, 130 kg load limit and IPX6 body rating. The iScooter i9 is a light, simple last-mile scooter at 11 kg with solid puncture-proof tires, a 350W motor, 30 km/h top speed and 25 km range. Owners of the Climber praise the torque and app-tunable brakes but note a 9-hour charge and brake feel on steep hills; i9 owners praise easy folding and assembly. Buy the Climber for hills, heavy riders and long commutes; buy the i9 for short flat trips and carrying onto transit.

  • Choose the INMOTION Climber if your route has real hills, you weigh near or above 100 kg, or you need more than 25 km of range per charge.
  • Choose the iScooter i9 if you want a light scooter you can fold and carry onto a bus or up stairs for short flat trips.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a hilly commute?
The INMOTION Climber. Its dual motors and 36% climb grade handle steep streets that the i9's 350W motor and roughly 15% slope limit cannot.
Which is easier to carry onto a bus or train?
The iScooter i9. At about 11 kg it is roughly half the Climber's 20.8 kg and folds in one motion.
Which lasts longer per charge?
The Climber, with up to 56 km against the i9's 25 km. The i9 charges faster, about 5 to 6 hours versus about 9.
Is the Climber worth stepping up to?
Yes if you ride hills, weigh near 100 kg or more, or cover long distances. For short flat trips the i9 covers the same ground with less weight.
Which handles rain better?
The Climber, rated IPX6 on the body against the i9's IP54. Neither is meant for submersion or heavy storms.
Do the i9's solid tires really avoid flats?
Yes, honeycomb solid tires cannot puncture. The trade-off is a firmer ride than the Climber's 10-inch pneumatic tires.
