  These were crazy overpriced at RRP of over $1500. Usually available around $1k. $600 seems a good deal. I avoided given the wheels - I recall reading reviews that they were not comfortable nor particularly durable, and were not replaceable. I think there may be a JB Hi-Fi review of them saying it was basically a disposeable scooter after a year. Just saying you should do your research. The wheels may now be easy to replace.

    Solid tyres have the benefit of not getting punctures at the cost of less suspension. They're certainly replaceable.

      Yep, aware of the benefits. Have solid tyres on my last mile scooter, thick tubeless on my long range Emove cruiser.

      And yes, sorry. Technically replaceable. But had a quick search and didn't find any replacements around. As I say, may be easier to replace now but I suggest doing a check. That review is still on JB's website.

        If your search for Unagi replacement tyre you'll have trouble. Searching for 7.5" solid tyre is a different story 😜

          @Clear: Did that, too and was same story for me. Couldn't see anything compatible. Found UK sites listing the Unagi wheel, but were out of stock (e.g https://www.thescooter.co/products/unagi-model-one-replaceme…). If you know of something compatible that is available, might be good to know. As I say, I'm not in the market. Might help someone thinking of buying, but discouraged for the same reason I didn't.

            @Trosticles: "7.5 inch solid tyre" brings up AliExpress as first result.

              @Clear: Yeah, I'd looked at that. Not sure it fits. The description doesn't list the E500 as a compatible scooter, and the internal design of the out of stock OEM tyres is different. Do you know it is compatible?

              I have done a bit more looking, and seen another similar review (of the tyre lasting a year and then no replacement available). One US review from 2 years ago said they had both tyres replaced within a year. I can only find an OEM $150 rear wheel (motor plus tyre) so far. Might do more looking later today.

                @Trosticles: Also, pictures on Reddit reviews show examples of how this tyre fails (split where the tyre is thin because of the holes). I have again decided against this model…
