The scooter works good and I like that you can take off the speed cap to get a couple extra miles. I didn't like that the charger port felt like it didn't actually insert and it came off super easily.... See more

I have been writing emails from a month and no one responds to them now. And the chat option on the website is really bad as there is no live agent and chatbot isn't good enough to provide such resolutions. If such services persist I'll be obligated to take a legal action.

Terrible company

Terrible company. Their app doesn't work, and there is no one to speak to. They dont reply.
The scooter itself malfunctions. I really would not recommend
Update:
Though unagi was expeditious to respond to my trustpilot post, they have not responded to my multiple emails.
Don't take their post as good customer service. It's just them quickly trying to put out a fire

Scooters badly built, no rea customer service, slow, no shock absorb

Scooters are not well built. They tend to only last 300-500 miles until things really start to break apart.

The speed used to go 20mph when unlocked but after the recent firmware update. It's stuck 16 at most and auto brakes when you go down hill to keep it under 16mph.

I do not recommend buying it refurbished either.

Considering the price range of the scooters. I would expect greater quality. The scooter I use from Unagi is the Voyager (the successor to Model One)

It costs me $84/monthly
$10 more because I opted for using brand new scooter.
And $5 for theft insurance.

Customer service is very tedious and slow. It's all AI based. No more phone calls. The only way to reach a customer service representative is through email.

And even that's not easy to find their information. The customer service is also not really good. They closed a ticket of mine without fully answering a question about the firmware I had about them.

The cost to buy a Model One Voyager is $1490.

Honestly not worth it.

There are plenty of scooters with similar to better features that I've found and am going to switch to. For a fraction of the price. I've seen scooter around $500 out perform this one.

The tires are pnuematic? So are many other scooters.

This scooter doesn't have any shock absorbers so you feel all of the road and it's not good for non smooth roads. The only decent thing is the 1000W power and acceleration. But even that's pretty mid, especially for the pride range. plus all that acceleration only to get limited to 16mph. Ok.

The horn is pretty trash too. It's so quiet and weak. In the span of my subscription time so far. Which is about 2 years. I've received about 7 scooters. One replacement arrived dead on arrival. And some one fell apart while using it around the 500mi mark

Another only lasted 300 ish miles and the breaks started giving out.

And the last one I'm replacing because the handle bar and the base board junction became loose and causes the wheel to be unaligned, making it dangerous to operate. (it's been 5 days since I opened a ticket for a replacement via email. Still no update. No tracking# and the status on the replacement is still unshipped. )

I strongly do not recommend this company and I would never buy these scooters brand new.

It’s a no for me

It’s a no for me. I got the 80dollar scooter for the upgrade. I didn’t read the fine print, found out the scooter is 20KM and not Mph. So it’s slower than your average biker. Also I hit a small bump and the thing is t turning on. Writhing 3-4 days of riding it. Not worth it.

To clarify, the top speed of our scooters is 20 mph, which can be fully unlocked through the settings. To unlock the top speed, hold the gas and brake simultaneously, then press the power button 10 times until you hear a beep. This will activate the higher speed mode on your scooter. If you encounter any further issues or have questions, please reach out through our website chat for assistance.

First Time Experience with the Unagi Scooter

I finally received my new Unagi Voyager Scooter app via email, and rode it my for the first time yesterday after impatiently waiting for a while to receive it The app works well, the Scooter nice. The handle bars are a little wobbly, and very short in height (measures to my stomach), but I can still enjoying it. And I am still having trouble figuring out how to change the speed modes.

Customer service at its best

So I signed up to rent a unagi voyager. But it's been almost a week and still no shipment. But if I want it faster coz they're low on refurbished ones I have to order a brand new one. So I did but the problem was I ordered a latte on refurbished one. So I thought it's gonna carry that order out. Nope I received a mist green one. So complained and c/s will be sending me a brand new latte and send my mist green back. Now tell me is that good customer service or what?

It sounds like Unagi is working hard to make things right for you! Even though there was a mix-up with the color, it’s great to hear that customer service responded quickly and is sending you the exact model and color you originally wanted. Plus, getting a brand new latte Voyager sounds like a win! If you have any further concerns, it seems like their team is on top of it, and you’ll be riding in style soon enough!

This company “Unagi”

This company, Unagi, asks for a review and to refer them to my friends… to spread the word… I’m a college student and I am a part of a community where word gets around. Unfortunately for Unagi, I’ve had nothing but negative feedback about them… each month the company gives me a credit due too many inconveniences —like for 1) when I got my scooter the battery was faulty, causing me to be stranded and lugging around a heavy scooter. 2) Firmware update causing the e-scooter functions to not work as Unagi has promised and advertises. 3) Customer service is just not there. I’ve reach out many times to Ungai in regard to this issue with the scooters function and they seem to not want to communicate or be transparent about issues.

This company advertises that this scooter will make your life easier by efficient transportation so you won’t have to worry. However, since I’ve had this scooter, I can say, my life has been more inconvenienced and I find myself worrying more. If this company isn’t able to be honest, transparent, and uphold what they advise and promise, then they need to go or do better!!

They have fixed this issue with the scooter speed... BUT still doesn't excuse their lake of communication and transparency. There is no other company like Unagi when it comes to the quality and efficiency, that's why it made me upset when they were falling back on their promise... however, today they are writing their wrongs, and I look forward to the promise set forth as this commenter has stated. Thank you!

We sincerely apologize for the challenges you’ve faced with your Unagi experience. It’s clear that we’ve fallen short of our promise to provide reliable, convenient transportation, and for that, we deeply regret the inconveniences caused.

Following the recent Unagi app update (v1.06), we encountered a bug that restricted Voyager scooters to a top speed of 15 mph, instead of the intended 20 mph. We’re pleased to inform you that as of October 2, 2024, the issue has been resolved with the release of app version 1.07, which restores the top-speed unlock feature. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience as we worked to resolve the issue.

We understand how important transparency is and are committed to being more responsive and proactive moving forward.

Horrible horrible horrible company

Horrible horrible horrible company - they purposely misrepresented themselves to sell and rent scooters ,.. they out out a firmware update that literally blocked the ability to go full speed . It took the speed from 20mph to 15mph. They still promote a 20mph speed it now that is a lie . Many many angry customers And the only reply is that they “are working on it “- it’s been over 3 weeks now and zero resolution- I believe it was their intention to do this on purpose and now they are stringing people along. No customer service phone number to call. No phone number at all,.. Al you can do is send an email in which they never reply ,.. stay far far away from this company and DO NOT pay them a single dollar until they fix this issue- I also recommend if you are renting a scooter from them currently , to block your credit card from allowing any more monthly charges to take place until this is fixed.

Scooter won’t charge no contact info

We recently received a scooter, refurbished that will not charge, nor will it pair to Bluetooth. We have tried to contact the company but there is no phone number, nor does the chat feature help but is a continuous loop. I’m now paying for a scooter that my son can’t even use because it only came with half a charge and you can’t charge it. Also it will not pair to the app. It’s beyond frustrating because there isn’t even an email feature…so what do I do?

Its a pretty decent scooter, but customer service do not exist. They don't have a phone number no more, they closed their only store in Manhattan and good luck chasing someone over email ( If you can fine their email on the website) and getting an answer every 2-3 days. So disappointed. I have had my scooter for 4 years now and customer service was the company's strength. So sad and pathetic what they have reached too.
