Unfortunately, they arent the ones the Unagi line sorely needs.
Anywhere else, which is pretty much everywhere, theyre a literal headache to ride on.
Unfortunately, the Model One Voyager has inherited that same curse.

There are some welcome improvements here, of course.
But where the upgrades would have mattered better shock absorption, for one there arent any.
That isnt to diminish the Unagi Model One Voyagers strengths.

Theres a long list of thoughtful details as well that make it an e-scooter of the future.
The folding mechanism, for one, is one of the easiest to operate that Ive seen.
You simply fold down the lever and pull the stem down.

And the rubber top does a fantastic job of preventing accidental slips.
I just wish they had improved on that kickstand.
Its still too short to keep the e-scooter stable at rest.

Ive lost count of how many times mine has toppled over from the slightest pressure.
Unfortunately, in many e-scooter-friendly cities like Los Angeles, its not the most ideal.
It is, however, nice to have better-performing brakes than the Classic.

While the foot brake is not the best, the hand brake is actually very powerful and responsive.
The throttle is just fantastic.
I would skip riding this on hilly roads, however.

On the plus side, Unagi slaps on a bigger battery, one with fast-charging capabilities.
Thats certainly a nice improvement.
If you think the Classic was expensive, get a load of the price tag on this.

Unagi wont start shipping units out until March 2024, according to its website.
And its not currently available for pre-order in the UK and Australia.

Its even pricier than the Model One Classic, putting it out of reach for budget-minded consumers.
Otherwise, youre better off looking for other options, many of which are much more affordable too.
Dont worry; there are plenty of other options that will suit your needs and budget.
Its sleek, portable, and minimalist but fitted with fat tires for much smoother rides.
I also tested its battery life as well.
