Tech specs and review

Front and rear shock absorbers
Both front and rear suspension units are fully adjustable, I found out of the box, the ride was very stiff, so I slackened the springs slightly.

The front and rear mudguards are made from ABS which makes them flexible and not prone to cracking and breakage like metal units

120mm mechanically operated vented disc brakes front and rear pull the i scooter up without any problems.
Because the IX6 has a rear motor, it also acts as an engine brake when off the throttle.

The IX6 came ready to go.

Construction was simple, just lift the handlebar stem, clip it into place and lock.
Lift the handlebar ends up and lock with the screw collar
The only item I had to manually fit was the headlight.
The overall frame is made out of aircraft grade Aluminium.

Power modes

The i scooter IX6 has 3 power modes, Eco, Normal, and Turbo.
There is also an option to unlock the top speed.
However, be prepared to take a hit on the battery life / range when in Turbo mode.

Menu navigation
This was a little frustrating as the manual is a little vague, and you have to really work things out for yourself. I did watch some YouTube instructions, but they were really not much better.
To unlock the i-scooter – turn on and press the M button 5 times.

i scooter iX6 has a neat lighting system including brake lights and indicators.

The rear mudguard has plenty of clearance, combined with the chunky tyres it should be perfect for rough terrain.

The throttle tab is easy to access with 2 start modes – Push away then throttle or throttle and go.

IX 6 Transportation

The IX6 folds down in seconds and can easily be lifted into a vehicle.

The handlebars do collapse down, but I found it not to be necessary when transporting.

There is a small locking clamp on the rear mudguard, just to secure everything.

Near Field Communication
The NFC tags are a nice addition, allowing the rider to quickly touch the back of the screen in order to turn the IX 6 on

Lighting
The IX6 is equipped with LED lights, an ambient board light and even directional indicators.
