When to get the EMove Cruiser S?

I believe that both the EMove Cruiser S and the Ninebot Max are the best scooters in their price category, so if you can afford the EMove Cruiser, go with it, it’s impossible to make a mistake. Also consider it if you want better speed, acceleration, weight limit, and, of course, a legendary range.

When to get the Ninebot Max?

You can think of the Ninebot Max as a sort of an “EMove Cruiser Light”. It’s also a very versatile, very popular scooter, but it’s not as powerful, and it’s also cheaper.

So, if your budget is less thant $1,000, the Ninebot Max is your ideal choice.
