Verdict
The Kinetic E-Luna makes for an ideal urban electric scooter with its lightweight body, nimble handling, and wallet-friendly pricing. It misses out on premium features and disc brakes found in rivals.
The Okinawa Dual justifies its premium positioning with powerful performance, long-range, plush ride quality, and abundant smart features. The high pricing may limit its appeal though.
The Odyssey Trot offers the best value for money with its neo-retro styling, peppy performance, and impressive features at an aggressive price point. The average storage space and lack of disc brakes are minor compromises.
