Unagi Model One Voyager Ride Experience
This scooter launches like a rocket! With dual 250W motors, the Voyager delivers smooth, responsive power, leaving other scooters in the dust. Forget slow starts; you’ll be zipping away from traffic lights in no time. One of my favorite features of the Model One Voyager is the thumb throttle and electronic brake controls. By now, most companies are moving to the thumb throttle, so that’s not much of a surprise. What I am super excited about is the thumb electronic brake. The only other electric scooter I know of that has implemented this properly is the Apollo Phantom V3.
How Does The Thumb Brake Work On The Unagi Voyager?
If you are not familiar with this, let me explain. Just like your throttle input gives you more throttle as you press more and more on the throttle, the same goes for your brake. Now you can control your electronic braking precisely, just like your throttle. A little input gives you a little braking, and a lot of input gives you a lot of braking. Up until now, most electric scooters have at least one disc brake and some kind of pre-programmed electronic braking, but the Unagi model One Voyager is unique, along with the Apollo Phantom V3, in having a truly precise way of controlling your braking. I exclusively use the thumb brake on my Apollo Phantom, and I am glad its my only option on the Model One Voyager.
Do Solid Tires Affect The Ride Quality?
The ride quality of the Model One Voyager is not one of my favorite parts of this electric scooter. Its probably the only thing I don’t like about it. The Voyager has 7.5″ solid rubber tires and no suspension. This means that you are going to feel pretty much every bump on any surface you ride on. Unagi did create little air pockets around the outside of the tire but its still not enough to make the ride “comfortable.” If Unagi added 7.5″ pneumatic tires, this would be the perfect scooter, in my opinion. I guess the only pro to solid tires is you don’t ever have to worry about getting a flat tire. So I will give them that! Don’t get me wrong, the ride is not horrible. But its a big change from the pneumatic tires I’m used to.
How Fast Is The Unagi Voyager?
With its dual 250-watt motors (500-watt peak each), the Model One Voyager accelerates to its new top speed of 20mph in just seconds. Its one of the fastest-accelerating scooters I’ve tested in this category. What’s unique is instead of one 500-watt motor in the rear like most other companies do, the Unagi model One voyager has two 250-watt motors, which helps with going up hills and that burst of acceleration. You can control whether you want a single motor or dual motor in the app or on the scooter.
The Unagi Voyager Gives You Precise Control Over Your Ride
However, here’s where the Voyager shines again: the precise thumb throttle and electronic brake control. Forget clunky levers and jerky stops! This intuitive system mirrors your throttle input, letting you brake with the same smooth responsiveness you use to accelerate. It’s a total game-changer for confident, controlled riding, and definitely ranks as one of my favorite features.
Overall, the Unagi Model One Voyager is a speed demon with innovative features and undeniable practicality. While the solid tires might compromise on comfort, the lightning-fast acceleration, precise controls, and dual motor versatility make it a compelling choice for urban thrill-seekers who prioritize performance and convenience.

Final Thoughts On The Unagi Voyager....
Stepping off the Unagi Model One Voyager, I’m left with a mix of excitement and thoughtful consideration. Its speed and agility are undeniable—it’s one of the fastest scooters I’ve tested at this small, compact size, and the precise thumb throttle and brake controls offer a level of control that’s truly impressive.
However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t address the impact of the solid tires. While they eliminate the worry of flats, they do compromise comfort, especially on longer rides or rough terrain. The lack of suspension further contributes to a somewhat jarring ride. It’s a trade-off between performance and comfort that potential riders should carefully consider.
Despite this, I find myself wholeheartedly recommending the Unagi Model One Voyager. It’s not the perfect fit for everyone, but for those who prioritize speed, control, and cutting-edge features, it’s a standout choice. The rental program adds an extra layer of convenience and affordability, making it even more accessible.
If you’re an urban adventurer seeking a scooter that blends excitement and practicality, the Voyager is worth a closer look. Just be prepared for a slightly bumpy ride in exchange for its exhilarating performance.
