Unagi E500 Model One Electric Scooter

Design meets Engineering

"The Tesla of scooters", as experts called it, is aesthetically unique, with no visible wires, no bulky console, just a sleek, integrated command centre that connects the rider to the ride. Unagi provides an exterior befitting a luxury vehicle with three separate coats including a laminate and a high-abrasion resistant paint to handle the wear and tear of the road.    It can be quickly folded with just one click and weighs around 12kg, making it quite easy to lift up the stairs or to park it somewhere safe inside. Definitely, a great transport to go to shops, school, or work. 

Brilliant motor

The E500 has a dedicated 250 watt motor in each wheel, supplying 500 watts and 32-newton meters of torque so you can easily tackle hills with up to 15-degree inclines. It can ride up to 25km and has three riding modes: Eco (14-18km/hour), Standard (18-21km/hour), and Professional (24-25km/hour). 

Unagi motors are completely custom-built utilising rare-earth neodymium magnets and a monitoring system to prevent overheating. It’s been painstakingly optimised for performance, efficiency, responsiveness and longevity.

Durable, Lightweight, and High-Grip Tyre System

This scooter features 7.5” wheels that are made of solid rubber and are puncture-proof, so they’ll never foil your commute. The air pockets spread throughout the circumference of the wheel act as a front and rear suspension system, providing the right amount of shock absorption that lets you still feel responsive balance and road feel.  

The Incredible Handlebar

The magnesium alloy handlebar is a feat of structural engineering that required more than thirty prototypes to perfect. Integrated in the top bar are the intuitive controls of the dashboard—throttle, brake, horn, and LED headlight. No visible wires. No bulky console. Just a sleek, integrated command centre that connects the rider to the ride. Why Magnesium? It’s 33% lighter than aluminium, which partially explains why the Unagi is the most portable scooter on the market.

First “One Click” Folding Scooter

Press one button and the Unagi patented stainless steel hinge system folds and locks in one smooth, satisfying click. This engineering breakthrough makes it dramatically easier to fold and carry than every other scooter on the market. We know because we tested them.

Confident Braking

One gentle push on the ergonomically optimised lever and the dual electronic anti-lock brakes bring you to a safe, steady stop. Both on our accelerator and brakes, we’ve built variability into our controls so pushing down further increases their action. Additionally, the Model One also features an intuitive friction brake, allowing users to adjust their riding style to a more classic “foot braking” position at their pleasure.

Best Battery

Unagi is powered by high quality electric batteries that we continually strive to improve. Coupled to our custom designed management system it provides the highest energy density and lowest charging time of any battery its size. Like everything on our scooters, longevity, and reliability are our primary focus. The batteries will last for many years with continuous daily use.

Safe Lighting

You’ll always see and be seen even in low-visibility nighttime conditions with a flush-mounted 47 lumen LED front light and a rear blinking red LED.

Tube of all Tubes

Unagi leverages TORAY carbon fibre from Japan to strike an unprecedented balance of lightweight and heavy-duty strength. The composite is anisotropic, a technical term meaning it’s laid down by hand in a painstaking process that optimizses strength by distributing layers of the fibre where it’s needed most. You don’t have to tell your friends that your scooter uses the same carbon fibre as Elon Musk’s Space-X rockets, but we can’t blame you if you did.

Flawless Deck

By combining a singular piece of machined aluminium with embedded silicon on the top surface for traction, the scooter deck achieves an ideal combination of rigidity and comfort. But what’s missing from this equation? The seams, joints, stitches, bulk, scratchy sandpaper grips, and harsh metal finish that comes standard with other scooters.

Epic Paint Job

Run your hands over Unagi and you’ll instantly notice the perfect finish. Unagi provides an exterior befitting a luxury vehicle with three separate coats including a laminate and a high-abrasion resistant paint to handle the wear and tear of the road. And most importantly, our scooters will never rust. And that high-tech paint comes in four vivid, stylish colours. So what colour is personal freedom, anyway? You decide.
