Today we are reviewing the Megawheels electric scooter which is a cheaply priced, lightweight scooter. We are at the moment on the hunt for the best lightweight and folding electric scooters. A scooter you can take with you anywhere. Many of these work as a last mile solution and rarely\u00a0go more than 5 miles per charge. Let\u2019s see if we’ve found a diamond in the rough<\/strong> here by dissecting it thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s it for, why is it so cheap, and does it provide any sort of value to its user?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to answer those questions, we need to know how an electric scooter works and operates<\/a>. Luckily we do and I say we just go straight into our full review.<\/p>\n

Review<\/h2>\n

Megawheels is a brand I actually knew pretty much about beforehand. I have talked to one of their US managers and I know they started out with hoverboards and eventually went into electric scooters. From my previous knowledge, I know their products are good and that they have a good after sales department based in the USA.<\/p>\n

The Megawheels S1 is a budget electric scooter. At this price tag, you cannot expect to get insane performance<\/a><\/strong> when it comes to distance and speed. However, It should still provide a good quality scooter which is comfortable to ride and handles everyday use.<\/p>\n

I would say that with its 14 mph top speed and 5-8 miles range.<\/a> <\/strong>Highly dependant on the user’s weight, it mostly caters to teenagers and by stretching it, even to lighter adults. If you have a bigger bone structure then I suggest going with something more durable and with a little more power underneath the hood.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the scooter’s design is very smart and I especially like the unique folding mechanism<\/strong>. I have never encountered a folding mechanism that works the same way on any of the scooters I\u2019ve previously tested. Easy to use and it enables you to adjust it, even if just a bit.<\/p>\n

Combining that with the light weight of this unit I consider this to be an excellent choice as an alternative to the Glion Dolly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It might miss a few features here and there, but the fact that it has no LED-screen to read values off is a bit strange. However, there is a battery indicator mounted on the footpads left side, a peculiar placement I know. But you can actually see the battery level while riding, even though it’s not convenient at all.<\/p>\n

It’s definitely not the most powerful scooter we’ve reviewed<\/a> but it does provide some value.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Megawheels S1 is a decent model if you're a teenager or kid and need a budget scoot. A teenager\/kid with their lower weight will get a lot more bang for their buck. An affordable way to get your electric scooter toes wet. However, adults should keep on looking.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
