Here's how the Okai ES20 E-scooter stood up to a year of abuse: Long-term review

#longterm review time! Read the full story here:

Part 2: www.autoevolution.com/news/ri...
An excerpt: "After one year of riding the first-generation ES20 we've discovered it's still going strong. It's still selling for $700 and worth every penny. Save some gas!"
" A tad over a year ago, Okai, one of the grandfathers of the urban mobility industry, announced they're unveiling their first consumer-destined electric kick scooter, the ES20. Well, I've been abusing it wholly since its first days, and may I say, this thing is one hell of an alternative to moving around your town. "
"Now, I rode this thing through just about any weather I could, not so much typhoons and blizzards, but you get the idea. I used the ES20 to even ride to work in 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius) weather and on sunny days with sweat dripping into my eyes. And every time, I made it to my destination safely. Let's see why that is. "
" While most manufacturers pride themselves on kick scooters able to spit out massive power, Okai prides itself on safety and comfort with a side of power. It's for these reasons that the footboard is as large as it is, the grips too, and the motor and battery offer the range and capability that they do. "
"To sum up Okai's ES20 in just a few words, all I have to say is, "go for it!" Once you hop on this bugger, start riding, and see its true potential - helping you save a bit of cash and leading a more physically active life - you'll understand just why Okai stands where they are today: a grandfather of urban mobility.

Congrats! Have fun riding it!

[@MücahitTopcu-e7u]

how can I activate zero start without kicking?

[@lrellim7269]

Does anyone here owns one of these and has been able to find a phone holder (mount) for this scooter. I've tried on amazon and ebay but none that have the dimensions needed.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

[@snipezpro9554]

[@snipezpro9554]

Did you find a hack bro want to get this one

[@jana.200]

I got one 4 month ago... the rear red light just went nope on me and have some connection issue (it stays off exept when there's some bump, it might flicker...), not really safe considering I'm using it to go and come back from work, at 10pm, so in the dark...

[@denisepicard7124]

Did you buy the parts like brake pads and tires from Okai?

[@autoevolutioncom]

Not yet!

[@robgarrett1101]
