Genuine now sells electric scooters, the other kind of scooter.

Post by scootERIK »

Genuine is now selling Genuine brand stand up electric scooters. - https://www.genuinescooters.com/shop/escooters/
There are two models,
A normal scooter called the "Chase" - https://www.genuinescooters.com/product/chase/
And a feet on the side model call "Trail" - https://www.genuinescooters.com/product/trail/ Plus, it has a removable seat.

Both are restricted to 20mph and ranges over 25 miles, and put out 500 watts continuous, 800 watts peak. From a quick internet search it looks like both models are retailing for $999. Based on the owners manual it should be easy to up the top speed in the app that controls the scooter.

The Chase is a pretty good looking scooter and it has dual suspension, and the Trail is pretty interesting since you have to put your feet on the sides when riding. If the build quality is similar to the XS 750F these should be some decent scooters. Time to see if my local dealer is going to carry them and if I can get some test rides.

Interesting.... I had a Apollo Ghost for awhile and lost interest in it. Plus my feet can't stand that long because I'm old and a bit overweight. Electric Scooter Guide (ESG) used to be the spot for any and all electric kick scooter news/reviews. I'd wait for them to test both first if thinking of buying one. But heck yeah go out for a test ride if possible!

I will be buying a kick-style e-scooter when I sell my Buddy this Spring. I'm not sure that this pricing is competitive in this space. The Hiboy S2 max is approximately equivalent and it's $569.

It integrates perfectly with their line of kitchen appliances. Philip McCaleb is rolling over in his grave.

They (Genuine) needs to change the name to Genuine Kitchen Company for their new line of cooking products.
