I have owned one for about 6 months. I also have a Yamaha Niken and a CCM Blackout, 3 bicycles one of which is a Brompton folding bike. Over 66 in the UK, I have my bus pass and live in a city with a great bus service with a bus going past my door every 10-15 mins. Most roads are 20mph. Why did I bother with all that description? Well, I bought the scooter because I thought that it would be great to have an electric scooter to get about the city, it is, but I hadn't really thought it through. The good points, with the big top box off the Niken and only using a single battery, for the extra space and making use of the curry hook, it is good for a weeks shop for 2. It is also great for rapid point to point around the city. Legal parking can be an issue, but look at where Deliveroo riders park. The concern about the scooter being quiet is a red herring. I can cycle as fast as the 20mph speed limit and make no noise. With skinnier tyres I am arguably less safe on a bicycle. The silence gives you a greater awareness of your surroundings, like on a bicycle. You can ride assertively with the presence of a moped and the awareness of a cyclist. If people walk out on me with a motorbike that is loud, they will on an electric scooter. The build quality is great, better than many of the Chinese scooters on the market. It feels like a pukka Yamaha. The removable batteries are a must for me, I live in a flat and the garage has no power. They aren't heavy and one will charge overnight. The thing is, for the sort of journeys I do, I can achieve all I want to do by bus or bicycle or both. If I need to get somewhere I can cycle almost as fast in the 20mph zone. I can even put my Brompton on a bus to shrink the journey. I can cycle on the Bus Lanes closed to the Neos. If I cycle, I get much needed exercise. So, I don't really need one. Your needs may be different.

Great to see you back on two wheels. Look fwd to more two wheel content 👍

I love motorbikes and have always had a soft spot for mopeds, so I couldn't help but smile at this review. I would actually love one of these but alas I don't live in a city anymore... Is 47km/hr sufficient do you think? Sounds a bit slow for keeping up with even city traffic...

At some point our daughter will pass her test and drive herself to work. We don't have room for three cars so I'm quite interested in something like this to bimble around on.

Would you say the BYD Seagull will be sold in Ireland? Around €15k? Hope it comes and cheaper too 🤞

Price is high compared to Chinese. Quality would need to be great. Range is too low imo. There could be great leaps forward for town bikes in the next five years. A 3 wheel version would suit me better as I crashed my moped on cow dung. Thanks. Love the variety. Des

The move to electric motorcycles is going to interesting. Scooters seem to be a decent use case , inner city travel, lower speed slow and stop / starts etc. The average motorcycle on the hand needs a big battery and therefore big cost, due to the poor drag co-efficient of the squishy human sticking up like a sail compared to a slippery electric cars at higher speeds, and the need to keep up with traffic on motorways, and longer commutes(range)

Nice Yamaha

Would you say the Neos is better on hills and accelerating than the Piaggo 1 ?

Can it maintain top speed going up a decent hill.

Hello mate

Max speed?

For the money not worth it I had the niu m sport Brilliant in the city but no good on hills and overall to much money for limited range best of with an electric bicycle. Or even better a tricycle moped

Dual motor e-bike would be better value

So i can buy a 52v 20ah lithium battery for £308 or pay yamaha for a 50.4v 19.2ah battery for £1148. That probably has the same battery inside

Anyone else watch that in the bath?🛀

Sounds way too expensive for what it offers , chinese and indian scooters have much higher specs at 1/3rd the price points Better buy a ICE scooter at that price point

The display is a joke

What anti-theft mechanisms are on this thing. Otherwise you're just buying some scobie a present.

The range is laughable

first of all speak after spitting cough from your mouth. and dont be in hurry. i watched 1/4 th video and got bored and irritated by your presentation.
