Performance Test: Putting The Throttle To The Metal
With a 550W motor under the hood, the Gyroor C1S packs quite a punch. Sure, it might not break any speed records, but it’ll get you from point A to point B comfortably with style and grace—just give it a few seconds to warm up, and you’ll be cruising in no time. I really like the throttle on the C1S. It has a half grip throttle similar to what you would find on a motorcycle. it can take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it its quite nice.
- Powerful Motor: 550 watts is enough oomph to tackle those uphill climbs and power through the urban terrain.
- Impressive Top Speed: Clocking in at around 18.6 miles per hour, it’s not the fastest scooter on the block, but it’ll get you where you need to go. In my testing, it took about 14 seconds to reach the top speed of 18.6mph.
How's The Range And Battery Life?
Now, let’s talk battery life. The Gyroor C1S boasts a 36-volt, 7.8-amp-hour battery with an advertised range of up to 20 miles. But let’s be real here—your mileage may vary. During my testing I was able to get about half of the stated range by the manufacturer. Range depends on factors like rider weight, speed mode selection, and the terrain you are riding on. In my Youtube video review I wanted to see if the C1S had enough range to get me to the store to get a Slurpee and back again without running out of battery. If you didn’t see my review, watch it here! I found you have enough juice to keep you rolling for 10–15 miles on a charge. This is expected in real-world conditions. While not the long-range champion, it is perfect for zipping through downtown, around the neighborhood, up to the store for a quick errand, or taking the scenic route through the park or by the beach
Gyroor C1S Ride Comfort and Convenience
One thing’s for sure: comfort is key when you’re spending hours on the road. Thankfully, the Gyroor C1S has got you covered. Sure, there’s no suspension but Gyroor does offer a version of the C1 that does have suspension, but unfortunately, the C1S does not. I would like to see suspension on all of the C1 models because it really does make a difference when going over curbs and bumps in the road. The C1S does come with one of the most comfortable seats on a scooter that I have reviewed. It really helps your rear end on longer journeys!
The Gyroor C1S is specifically designed for the rider with storage space in mind. Not only does it have a rear basket for you to put things in, the C1S specifically has a removable basket that goes on the deck for even more storage space. Now you can go grocery shopping and use the C1S as your shopping cart! Or maybe take your pet for a ride around the neighborhood!
Worried where you are going to put your feet? Gyroor has given us some pretty cool foot pedals that get installed on the basket. This makes me feel like I am riding a motorcycle out on the open road because your feet are on pegs out to the side. I find it more comfortable to ride with my feet on the foot pegs than on the deck itself.
- Ergonomic Design: Designed with your comfort in mind, you can focus on the adventure ahead without worrying about a sore rear end or stiff back.
- Practical Storage Solutions: Say goodbye to backpack-induced back pain—there’s plenty of room for all your gear, groceries, and whatever else you need to haul around town.
- Stability and Maneuverability: With a sturdy frame, 12″ tires and responsive handling, you’ll feel confident tackling tight turns and dodging obstacles with ease. The C1S rides similar to an e-bike with its larger tires rather than a scooter, which usually has tires 2 inches smaller. The 2 inches really make a difference in the quality of your ride.
Is The Gyroor C1S A Good Choice For Urban Commuters?
Ah, the joys of city or campus living—never a dull moment, am I right? From dodging potholes to weaving through traffic or running late for class, every day brings a new adventure. But don’t worry, the Gyroor C1S is up to the challenge. Its got plenty of range for short trips, a respectable top speed, storage for your groceries or backpack and 12″ tires so your urban commute is as comfortable as can be.
