The Ultimate Guide to Inokim Electric Scooters (2023)

As the electric scooter market expands to accommodate more riders, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. Where to begin?

Fear not, for we are here to help you navigate the ever-growing world of e-scooters. The first step in your journey is to acquaint yourself with reputable and trustworthy brands that are dedicated to creating top-notch electric scooters and nothing less. 

In our spotlight today is one of these brands: Inokim. A pioneer in the industry, Inokim is known for its excellent reputation and commitment to innovation. 

Let’s uncover what makes Inokim stand out from the rest.

A Brief History of Inokim E-Scooters

First established in 2009, Inokim is one of the oldest electric scooter manufacturers in the world.

During that year, Nimrod Sapir, an Israeli product designer and inventor, started a passion project called MYWAY in his garage. He envisioned creating an innovative yet practical and eco-friendly alternative to traditional modes of transportation.

Also credited with coining the term “last-mile solution,” Sapir developed the electric scooter as a means to bring people from point A to B using the lowest effort possible while reducing carbon emissions.

Nimrod Sapir’s work has since significantly influenced the urban mobility landscape.

Thanks to the brand’s focus on innovation and commitment to sustainability, MYWAY quickly gained attention among commuters who were seeking a more efficient way to commute.

In 2011, MYWAY was rebranded to “Inokim,” a play on the combination of the words “Innovative” and “Kinetic.” 

Under this new name, Inokim continued to establish itself as one of the best manufacturers of electric scooters across the globe. Over the years, they have continued to refine and upgrade their models, never missing out on advanced technology for better efficiency and safety.

From Sapir’s garage in 2009, today, Inokim can be found all over the world. Since then, the brand has received numerous industry awards for their reliable and stylish electric scooters.

Most Notable Inokim E-Scooters

One of the first models MYWAY released was the MYWAY QUICK, a lightweight folding electric scooter that was made of aluminium and featured a brushless motor and lithium-ion battery.

Two years later, the company released QUICK-1, an improved QUICK model, which gained worldwide success and recognition.

In 2015, Inokim released a lightweight and quick-to-fold model, which they aptly called LIGHT. In 2017, they released the MINI, an electric scooter that weighed only 8.5 kg.

But it wasn’t until 2018 that Inokim truly became a household name, thanks to the release of the iconic OX, a model that showcased impressive range and superb performance. The Inokim OX, which earned the admiration of seasoned riders and enthusiasts around the world, continues to be a top choice to this day. 

This pivotal moment made its mark in e-scooter history and demonstrated just what Inokim is capable of creating. 

Inokim’s Current E-Scooter Lineup: Which One is Right for You?

Each of Inokim’s electric scooter 2023 models, which are all available in Electric Kicks, are thoughtfully designed with a particular type of rider in mind. Let’s get to know the OXO, the OX, the Quick 4, and the Light 2.

Inokim OX Super (2023 Model)

 

Tagged as the SUV of stand-up electric scooters, the OX Super delivers a stable yet superior riding experience. 

The all-rounder OX Super is Inokim’s flagship electric scooter, designed to be suitable for use in both urban and off-road environments.

Propelled by a powerful brushless hub motor and an efficient battery, the OX Super is speedy and can cover a generous amount of distance on a single charge. Plus, with its strong torque, it features almost instantaneous acceleration. 

The OX is equipped with the brand-patented OX Suspension Adapter Patent (OSAP), an adjustable dual suspension system that allows you to adjust your suspension depending on your current riding needs. This elevates the OX from being a dependable commuter scooter to a powerful all-terrain vehicle.

Riders also love the OX’s stable and wobble-free construction, an important aspect of safe and confident riding. 

Is this scooter the right fit for you?

The Inokim OX is a great e-scooter choice for people who commute on weekdays and go on more adventurous rides during the weekends. Because of its adjustable suspension and robust build, it can adapt to almost any environment. 

However, because of its highly efficient and responsive torque, it might be too powerful for beginners and anyone wanting a gentle ride. 

How does it fare against other scooters?

Because of its long range and outstanding top speed, we can compare the all-rounder OX Super to the Segway-Ninebot P100 (Global Edition), the Apollo Ghost, and the Apollo City (Dual Motor).

INOKIM OX 2023	SEGWAY- NINEBOT P100	APOLLO GHOST	APOLLO CITY
Motor	1000W	650W	Dual 1000W	Dual 500W
Battery	748.8 Wh	1200 Wh	946.4 Wh	960 Wh
Top Speed	50 kph	48 kph	60 kph	51 kph
Max Range	97 kilometres	100 km	63 km	69 km
Weight	28 kg	32.9 kg	29 kg	29.5 kg
Rider Weight	120 kg	120 kg	135 kg	120 kg
Tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	10.5-inch tubeless tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	10-inch tubeless tyres
Brakes	Front drum and rear disc brake	Front and rear disc + electronic brakes	Power regenerative brakes	Dual drum and regen brakes
Suspension	Adjustable dual suspension system (OSAP)	Front & rear dual arm suspension	Front & rear disc + electric regen brakes	Triple spring suspension system

Despite being equipped with a single motor and a lower-capacity battery, the Inokim OX performs at par with its dual-motor counterparts. It has the second highest top speed in the group, which is more than ample for exciting rides. Moreover, with just a 3-km difference, its range comes very close to matching the category winner. 

In conclusion, the OX is a compelling choice for riders who seek diverse riding experiences not limited by distance or terrain.

Inokim OXO (2023 Model)

While its younger brother feels like an SUV, operating the Inokim OXO is akin to driving a luxury vehicle. 

The OXO is Inokim’s most heavy-duty model, a workhorse that is designed to conquer both long-distance urban commutes as well as off-road adventures on challenging terrain.

Equipped with robust dual motors, the OXO delivers impressive top speeds and can effortlessly conquer steep inclines. Despite its power, the electric scooter’s operation is smooth and surprisingly silent.

As it is a premium and solid electric scooter constructed from aviation aluminium alloy, the OXO is built to withstand demanding riding conditions. It is a highly versatile e-scooter that you can use over paved streets or mountain bike trails.

And with its pneumatic tyres and the brand’s patented dual suspension system, even the bumpiest ride is a stable and comfortable experience. 

Is this scooter the right fit for you?

While stable, the Inokim OXO’s powerful acceleration might catch beginners off-guard. Thus, this model is more ideal for experienced riders – those who are well-versed in handling and manoeuvring high-powered electric scooters. 

The OXO is also an excellent choice for off-roaders whose main intention is to find a fast and powerful ride that can cover a good amount of distance on a single charge.

On the other hand, because the OXO is not exactly lightweight, it might not be the most practical choice for those who need to frequently carry and transport their electric scooters.

How does it fare against other scooters?

With its dual motors, high top speed, and long range, the Inokim OXO is comparable to the Apollo Phantom V3, the Apollo Pro, and the Segway-Ninebot GT2.

INOKIM OXO 2023	APOLLO PHANTOM V3	APOLLO PRO	SEGWAY- NINEBOT GT2
Motor	Dual 1000W	Dual 1200W	Dual 1200W	Dual 1500W
Battery	1497.6 Wh	1216.8 Wh	1560 Wh	1512 Wh
Top Speed	65 kph	66 kph	70 kph	70 kph
Max Range	110 kilometres	64 km	100 km	90 km
Weight	33.5 kg	35 kg	42 kg	53 kg
Rider Weight	120 kg	136 kg	150 kg	150 kg
Tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	12-inch self-healing tyres	11-inch tubeless tyres
Brakes	Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes	Mechanical disc + regenerative electronic brakes	Power regenerative brakes	Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes
Suspension	Adjustable dual suspension system (OSAP)	Quadruple spring suspension system	Adjustable hydraulic + rubber suspension	Adjustable front and rear damper

In terms of performance statistics, the Inokim OXO keeps pace with its closest competitors. However, it wins in terms of maximum range. And while it may have the lowest maximum rider weight capacity among the three, it compensates by having the lowest unit weight, making it one of the lightest in its category.

With its high top speeds and serious mileage, the hardworking Inokim OXO easily scores a top spot on our list of powerful rides.

Inokim Quick 4 Super (2023 Model)

Inokim is known for its trademark quick folding mechanism, and in its impressive lineup, nothing demonstrates this feature as well as the Quick 4 Super. 

Best known for its ability to fold or unfold in 4 seconds flat, the Inokim Quick 4 is a sleek and portable machine that blends performance with convenience. Its collapsible handlebars further enhance its compactness, ensuring that the electric scooter doesn’t take up a lot of space when folded.

And since it weighs less than the OX and the OXO, the Quick 4 is a preferred choice by commuters who require an e-scooter that is easy to carry and transport. 

With these qualities, the Quick 4 is definitely one of the best commuter e-scooters in our inventory.

Is this scooter the right fit for you?

Commuters and riders who need to frequently carry and transport their e-scooters will appreciate the portability of the Inokim Quick 4. 

Since the Super variation of the Quick 4 (the variation we currently carry) has a considerable maximum range as well as an adjustable suspension, it is also an ideal choice if you need to cover long distances or challenging road conditions.

How does it fare against other scooters?

The combination of the Inokim Quick 4’s portability and long range makes it comparable to the Apollo Air V3, Segway-Ninebot MAX G2, and the Segway-Ninebot G65.

INOKIM QUICK 4	APOLLO AIR V3	SEGWAY- NINEBOT G65	SEGWAY- NINEBOT G2
Motor	600W	500W	450W	450W
Battery	832 Wh	540 Wh	551 Wh	551 Wh
Top Speed	40 kph	34 kph	25 kph	35 kph
Max Range	71 kilometres	55 km	65 km	70 km
Weight	21.5 kg	17.5 kg	24.4 kg	24.3 kg
Rider Weight	120 kg	100 kg	120 kg	120 kg
Tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	10-inch pneumatic tyres	10-inch self-healing tyres	10-inch self-healing tyres
Brakes	Front drum brake and rear disc brake	Front drum + regenerative electronic brakes	Front drum brake & rear electronic brake	Front drum brake & rear electronic brake
Suspension	Adjustable dual suspension system	Front dual-fork suspension	Triple suspension system	Front Hydraulic + Rear Double Spring

In this comparison, the Inokim Quick 4 emerges as a clear winner in terms of power output, battery capacity, top speed, and range. Surprisingly, despite being packed with power and features, the Quick 4 is one of the lightest in its category.

Notwithstanding its competitors’ unique merits, it is evident that the agile Quick 4 Super is one of the most formidable commuter electric scooters of today.

Inokim Light 2 Max (2023 Model)

The Quick 4 Super may be portable, but it’s not the most lightweight of the Inokim lineup – this distinction goes to the Inokim Light 2 Max.

At barely 14 kg, the Light 2 Max offers the best possible solution to commuters in search of ultra-lightweight electric scooters. Its sleek and compact design also features a telescopic stem and collapsible handlebars. When folded, the Light 2 Max is small enough to fit limited spaces in your home, office, or even on public transport.

But despite its lightweight design, the Light 2 MAX does not compromise on function and practicality. Built with city commuting in mind, it has pneumatic tyres with excellent traction and a “never-flat” tyre feature to make all your commutes hassle-free. 

The Inokim Light 2 is also equipped with dual brakes and integrated with front and rear LED lighting for the safest rides.

Is this scooter the right fit for you?

Every rider of every skill level – from beginners to skilled riders – will enjoy using the ultra-lightweight and portable Light 2 MAX.

The Light 2 MAX is the ideal first- or last-mile solution, as it is really easy to carry and transport. This lightweight e-scooter is also a fine and practical choice for individuals residing or working in buildings without lifts. 

How does it fare against other scooters?

The portability and compactness of the Light 2 Max remind us of the Segway-Ninebot E2 Plus, Pure Air³, and the Pure Advance.

INOKIM LIGHT 2 MAX	SEGWAY- NINEBOT E2	PURE AIR³	PURE ADVANCE
Motor	350W	300W	350W	500W
Battery	460.8 Wh	220 Wh	266.4 Wh	355.2 Wh
Top Speed	34 kph	25 kph	25 kph	25 kph
Max Range	40 kilometres	25 km	30 km	40 km
Weight	13.6 kg	14.4 kg	15.5 kg	16.2 kg
Rider Weight	100 kg	90 kg	120 kg	120 kg
Tyres	8.5-inch pneumatic tyres	8-inch hollow-out tyres	10-inch tubeless tyres	10-inch tubeless tyres
Brakes	Front and rear drum brakes	Front electronic + rear drum brakes	Front drum and rear KERS brakes	Front drum and rear KERS brakes

Weightlessness and slimline folding design define the electric scooters in this category. But even though it is the lightest in this group, the nimble Inokim Light 2 MAX proves to be a champ in terms of top speed and maximum. 

This remarkable electric scooter gets you to your destination quickly and covers quite a lot of ground while maintaining its featherweight design.

So if you’re looking for an electric scooter that you can easily carry but does not cut corners on functionality, consider the Light 2 MAX.
