Commuting with an electric scooter is a freeing experience. With one, you no longer have to deal with traffic jams, rising petrol prices, or limited parking spaces.
If the idea of effortless commuting sounds good to you, there is an e-scooter we’d love you to meet: the Inokim Light 2 Max. Compact and lightweight, it offers a reliable way to move around the city—without the unnecessary bulk.
That said, despite its name, it delivers heavy-duty performance that is even more robust than other e-scooters in the category. By combining efficiency and manoeuvrability, the Inokim Light 2 Max is one of the best choices for city commuters today.

Getting to Know the Inokim Light 2 Max
Built by the global brand Inokim, the Inokim Light 2 Max is equipped with premium and durable components, plus an overall quality that has passed the industry’s most stringent standards.
In other words, when you buy an Inokim, you’re assured that your e-scooter is dependable, safe, and offers great value for your money.
Currently the lightest in the Inokim lineup, the Inokim Light 2 Max may not have the same level of power and off-road prowess as its siblings (the Inokim OXO and the Inokim OX, to be specific). However, what it boasts is ultra-portability—a feature many city commuters may value over brawn.
Portability and Convenience
The average commuter electric scooter often weighs between 15 and 25 KG, but the Inokim Light 2 Max sets itself apart by weighing a mere 14 KG. With collapsible handlebars, the result is a compact folded form that doesn’t take up a lot of space.
What’s great is that this sleek electric scooter does not sacrifice form and function for the sake of keeping the weight low. Featuring a sufficiently-sized deck, it offers a very comfortable ride. Furthermore, a telescopic stem is added, which gives riders the option to adjust the stem so it suits their height.
Power and Speed
Even though portability is the key feature of the Inokim Light 2 Max, there were no compromises made in terms of power and speed. In fact, compared to similar commuter e-scooters—some of which sport heavier weights—our favourite lightweight e-scooter attempts to offer more.
Equipped with a 350W motor, the Inokim Light 2 Max reaches 650W in peak power and up to 34 KPH in speed. This is definitely higher than many city e-scooters that utilise 250W motors to reach top speeds of 20-25 KPH.
While these rides have their own merits for sure, if you’re looking for an ultra-lightweight e-scooter that does not fall short on performance, the Inokim Light 2 Max is your best choice.
Ride Quality
Inokim prides itself on creating electric scooters that deliver smooth and stable rides. Now, because it is not meant for off-roading, it’s understandable that the Inokim Light 2 Max does not come with a suspension system. That said, thanks to 8.5-inch pneumatic tyres, it provides solid bump absorption that’s well-suited for smooth paved roads.
Furthermore, the e-scooter is also built with auto motor cutoff, a safety feature that automatically stops the motor under certain conditions (e.g. when brakes are applied), preventing unnecessary or unwanted acceleration.
Meanwhile, front and rear drum brakes ensure safe and steady stopping.
Battery and Range
A good commuter e-scooter must provide adequate range, especially if your commutes involve longer routes. An efficient battery also comes in handy for riders who need to make several trips throughout the day. For example, couriers and errand runners might not have enough time to charge their batteries between jobs.
Fortunately, the Inokim Light 2 Max meets this requirement as well. Using a 36V (460.8 Wh) battery, this electric scooter is able to cover up to 40 KMs on a single charge. The battery also takes only 3-5 hours to fully charge, so you can hit the road as soon as possible!
Of course, remember that actual range is affected by multiple factors such as terrain and rider weight. That said, if an e-ride has a good published range to begin with, you have better chances of realistically covering as many kilometres as possible.
Safety Features
Performance matters, but no level of speed, power, or range is as critical as having the right safety features in place. Don’t worry—Inokim knows this.
For starters, all Inokim electric scooters are UL-Certified and have undergone meticulous testing to meet the most stringent standards for electrical safety, fire risk, and overall construction. This means your Inokim Light 2 Max is proven to have top-tier quality, with minimal risk of shocks, overheating, short circuits, and other issues that could lead to fires.
We also have the aforementioned auto motor cutoff feature, which keeps the ride from accidentally moving or accelerating under certain conditions.
Furthermore, the Inokim Light 2 Max is equipped with front and rear LED lights that automatically switch on when you’re riding in low-light conditions. This is especially useful when you have to navigate busy city streets at night.
Wrapping Up
It’s a wonder how Inokim has managed to fit a lot into such a lightweight package. At only 14 KG, you may think the Inokim Light 2 Max is only good for connecting Point A to Point B, but it’s capable of so much more.
Thanks to a robust motor and an efficient battery, the Light 2 Max delivers more speed, power, and range than similar commuter e-scooters. Beyond performance, it does not take any shortcuts when it comes to ride quality and safety features. Save for the understandable lack of suspension, there’s no stone left unturned with this city e-ride.
