The RS1’s bright blue cabling is a nice touch, matching the colour of the thumb throttle accelerator on the right of the handlebar and logo on the stem. The chunky, aluminium stem looks the part, too. It’s much broader than other e-scooters we’ve tested but it lends the RS1 a purposeful, robust look.
The thick stem is about more than mere aesthetics, though. Hidden away inside is the scooter’s battery, which can be accessed fairly easily by lifting the dashboard cover.
The position of the battery not only makes it easy to replace but also means it’s better protected than on most e-scooters, where it’s positioned beneath the base plate. It’s quick to charge, too, charging from empty to 100% in just over two hours.

A safety campaigner is urging the trial of e-scooters in Birmingham city centre to be halted after taking pictures and video of potentially dangerous scenes.
The child was struck from behind while walking along the pavement with his grandmother.
The rider of the electric scooter fell off during the crash but remounted and fled from the scene in Feltahm High Street, west London at around 6pm on Saturday.
Paramedics took the boy to hospital and he has since been discharged.
Police have now launched an investigation into the crash and are asking for anyone who saw it, or has dashcam footage, to come forward.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: Police were called at 6pm on Saturday, April 17 to reports of a collision at High Street (A244), near the junction with Manor Lane, Feltham.
