The function can be engaged at any time by holding the throttle down for six seconds, and although it’s a slight annoyance that it disengages every time you touch the brake lightly, it makes perfect sense from a safety point of view. not foldable (7) standard folding (15) compact folding (4) 1 second - easyfold (4) manual folding (10) vertical folding (1) This was pretty similar to the Volter and maybe a little less than the Xiaomi Pro 2 I’d recently tested over similar distances, but it’s important to consider that the optimum range varies greatly depending on the weight of rider, terrain and mode when riding, and you’ll often need to recharge a lot sooner than the maximum range stated.On the subject of hills, the Decent One Max dealt with a couple of particularly steep inclines with ease. However, this allows the battery to be removed and replaced in seconds, and also means it’s better protected than on some other scooters, where the battery is located in the base plate. A full charge takes around five to six hours. Is it the best e-scooter you can buy? It’s a solid choice, but a few other scooters edge it for me – although it totally depends on the features you find most useful and where you’re planning on riding. Even though it has lower range, the Pure Air is a better option overall because of its app capability, more powerful motor and ability to carry heavier loads.

It’s important to make clear at this point that electric scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) in the UK and therefore illegal to ride unless you’re on private land with the landowner’s permission. With other models you can sometimes manage to push a few extra miles per hour on a descent but, in the case of the One Max, that wasn’t the case and I was unable to get above 15.5mph at any point. However, that’s more than fast enough for any journey. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Our adult electric scooters come in a wide variety of builds, whether you’re looking to stay economical for minimal use or looking to power up. You’ll find our power range boasting an additional suspension, larger or dual motors as well as more powerful brakes so you can ride through router terrain without worrying about the strength and stability of your adult electric scooter.The scooter has a 350W motor and 10in wheels with pneumatic tyres, while an IP54 weather-resistance rating gives you protection against the elements.

The Decent One Max is very easy to set up. After unfolding and securing the steering stem into its upright position, it’s a simple case of sliding the brake lever on to the left handle stem before tightening with the Allen key provided and then screwing the grips in place. With the Beginner mode feeling rather slow, I spent most of my time in Normal and Sports modes. However, if it’s your first time on an e-scooter, it’s definitely worth starting out on the lowest setting until you get used to handling it.

As with many models, the brake lever with attached bell is on the left of the handlebar and the thumb throttle accelerator to the right. The LED display sits in the middle of the stem, displaying your current speed, riding mode and how much battery life is remaining.

The Decent One Max has three riding modes that can be accessed by a button on the throttle. There’s Beginner mode, which is limited to a maximum speed of 6mph, Normal mode, which is limited to 9mph, and Sports mode, which lets you scoot about at up to 15.5mph.Disappointingly, unlike many other modern e-scooters models, the One Max doesn’t come with an accompanying app that can open up other features such as more precise riding and battery information stats.
