Are you looking for an electric commuting vehicle but you are not fond of classic electric bikes and Adult Electric Scooters? Looking something that looks cool and unique but still have an affordable price? Read on, I'm sure you will find our post interesting.
As you may have read our comparison of electric vehicles, you have seen we have sorted them into 3 general categories:
When I first found OJO, I was amazed by it's unique look, which in fact is quite divisive. You will either love it or hate it. I personally really liked it as the minimalist design instantly caught my eye and it's not just that. Watching their introduction video I had the feeling they are not only created a cool product but they are doing something which every people loves:
Just take a look at the most popular products today. For example the engineers at Apple are making a fantastic work designing their phones, but the main reason so many people are buying them, because they will be part of a community. I hope OjO will gain popularity in a long term, as it has some future potential as well.
The frame is made out of lightweight aluminium which is fully welded and covered with automotive ABS grade plastic fairings. As a result of this combination of materials is a clean, luxurious look with a highly durable body.
As I have already mentioned, the riding deck is part of the core body, there is no separation at all. It has a nice curve running from the front wheels to the end of the deck. The stepping area is treaded which offers a good grip for your feet and makes it safe to travel. Believe me, you can have a really nasty fall with any kind of scooter if your foot is slipping off the deck.. This feature is sometimes overlooked but for safety reasons it's indispensable.
If we are looking at the back of the deck, we can find the removable seat, which also shares the same clean design as the rest of the body. The height is adjustable and the seat is completely removable which makes it comfortable in any positions, furthermore giving you the possibility to use it as a standard standing scooter. There is also an optional rear storage accessory available which is really convenient in everyday situations.
Both the front and the rear wheels are equipped with disk brakes which is nice to see, because a quick and controlled stopping power is a must have in city traffic. I really hate that lots of electric scooters offer under powered braking systems and makes them unusable in some situations.
The charging system of OjO has been cleverly designed. You can find a small plug sign on the front of the scooter. By pushing it, the lid will open and you can pull out the plug and the retractable power cord. That's right! You only need to park by a power outlet and connect your own cord to charge the battery. This on-board charger is OjO's own patented technology, which makes it very convenient when cruising the streets.
Users can choose from 3 speed limits which can be controlled through the touchscreen.
So far I loved the quality and the performance, but there is more: For this price tag, users will also receive some extra features.
OjO comes with a built in motion activated alarm system which cannot be disabled and can be used to deter unwanted attention when powered down in locked mode.
