With a drop-in-fitting and upgraded capacities available, your range is only limited to how many you can carry. Features: It’s important to make clear at this point that electric scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) in the UK and therefore illegal to ride unless you’re on private land with the landowner’s permission.

Of course, the big plus point here is the removable battery. In practice is a removable battery that useful? For convenience, it’s definitely handy to have a removable battery for easily recharging it at, say, a workstation in an office – instead of having to bring the Decent One Max physically into the office (ditto at home). It’s also far more environmentally friendly to replace the battery when it’s spent – or, more likely, to fit a newer, larger-capacity version – rather than junk the entire scooter. Decent One Max electric scooter review: Verdict

Large appliances and heavy items delivered direct to the room of your choice, NOT left on the kerb side. The Decent One electric scooter replaces the original Decent X7 (which was itself a variant on the Turboant X7). The company behind the Decents has been wholesaling other brands for years but felt that the proliferation of the Xiaomis (and the unfair practices employed by some stores selling them) meant they needed a new option. But how does the Decent One compare to other scooters in the price range? It is generally priced about the same as a Xiaomi Essential (though Xiaomi stopped producing the Essential in 2022).

The Decent One Max is a robust, no-nonsense electric scooter with a quick-release battery and cruise control

The scooter has a 350W motor and 10in wheels with pneumatic tyres, while an IP54 weather-resistance rating gives you protection against the elements. At 15kg, it’s lighter than other models with similar specs. It also comes with cruise control, but you can’t pair it with your smartphone to access extra features. The IP54 rating makes them suitable for year-round use. At 15kg , the Decent One Max is light enough to be carried up stairs. It can be folded down in seconds, carried in one hand and is compact enough to be stowed under a train seat, or in the boot of a small car. Decent Performance If you're looking for something slightly more robust, however, we'd suggest looking at the models from Pure and Xiaomi, which currently sit it T3's best electric scooter guide.

Charged in under three hours, these modular batteries allow you to have a spare charging (externally from the scooter, using the standard charger) and always ready to go. With a drop-in-fitting and upgraded capacities available, your range is only limited to how many you can carry. Features: As with many models, the brake lever with attached bell is on the left of the handlebar and the thumb throttle accelerator to the right. The LED display sits in the middle of the stem, displaying your current speed, riding mode and how much battery life is remaining.With other models you can sometimes manage to push a few extra miles per hour on a descent but, in the case of the One Max, that wasn’t the case and I was unable to get above 15.5mph at any point. However, that’s more than fast enough for any journey. In sport mode, the 350w front-mounted hub motor propels the scooter up to its top speed of 18.6mph in seconds. Load-dependant, it can cope with inclines as steep as 20%.

A short press on the function button – just above the throttle – toggles between three gears; beginner, normal and sports, which control what your top speed can reach. In reality, you're going to want to be in Sport the entire ride. With the Beginner mode feeling rather slow, I spent most of my time in Normal and Sports modes. However, if it’s your first time on an e-scooter, it’s definitely worth starting out on the lowest setting until you get used to handling it. A headlight is located at the top of the stem, and there’s a brake light built into the rear mudguard. The rear mudguard also acts as an emergency brake and is part of the triple brake design of the scooter, alongside the mechanical rear disc brake and front hub motor brake. Want to extend your range? Can't get your scooter near a plug? Unlike the majority of competitors, you can remove the battery from a Decent One scooter in seconds, with no tools. It's IP54-rated, so waterproof unless it gets submerged, and can easily take riders (and any bags you might be carrying) weighing up to 100kg.

Given its weight, the folding nature is just as likely to come in handy for storing it in the boot of a car. If you wish to return your item to Robert Dyas, you can do so by the following method: 1. Request a Collection via Robert Dyas Customer Services The Decent One feels much like those first Segway-Ninebot electric scooters (which flooded the streets of Europe in 2019 when rental companies used them) but is perhaps slightly smoother because of the larger (10 inch) tyres. It's really difficult to tell just by riding them. This review focuses on the more expensive Decent One Max, which shares many of the same features as its sister model but comes with double the range per charge.
