iVOOMi City specifications and features
Discontinued 2023Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed.
The figures below are the manufacturer's. To make them mean something, each is read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed: the class average is the number to beat, and the rank shows how far the City is from the ends of the field.
The 0.5 kW motor is 4.5 kW below the class average of 4.9 kW, 62nd of 77. Battery of 1.5 kWh is 1.2 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 71st of 89. Certified range of 110 km is 11 km below the class average of 121 km, 40th of 89.
Charging time is 4 hours, 0.9 hours below the class average of 4.9 hours, 17th of 82. Quick enough to top up over a lunch break. Top speed is 25 km/h, 42 km/h below the class average of 67 km/h, 72nd of 89. Kerb weight is 65 kg, 41 kg below the class average of 106 kg, 3rd of 69. That is weight you notice at walking pace, in a U-turn and when pushing it into a parking spot.
Seat height is 760 mm, right on the class average of 776 mm. Most riders from about 5'2" will get both feet flat.

Dimensions in practice
The City weighs 65 kg with fluids, has an 760 mm seat, 170 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1300 mm wheelbase. Clearance is average for the class.
Tyres are 90/90/10 front and 90/90/10 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
Console and connectivity
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Electric
Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Reverse mode
Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Keyless start
Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
