Packaging contents & quality
The electric scooter JOYOR S10-S was delivered to us by the GLS courier in a box measuring 119 x 25 x 46 cm. The box was wrapped with yellow film and secured with plastic straps. Thanks to that, it’s easier to carry and the film helped prevent damage or getting dirty.
Inside, you’ll find a folded scooter with the handlebars disassembled, an instruction manual, a small box where the charger is, and a nylon cover with small accessories. Here you’ll get the tools, spare screws, and even one inner tube, which is quite unusual.
The scooter inside the box is protected with nylon and polystyrene, so there was no damage during shipping. Overall, the packaging quality is at a high level.
Assembling the scooter
As we already hinted, the scooter doesn’t require any special long assembly. Once you take it out of the box, you just remove all packing and protective materials and mount the handlebars.
Simply fold out the main stem, where we then attached the handlebars using three screws. One goes from the top and two from the sides. That’s it. The assembly is really simple and quick.
JOYOR S10-S: Design and build quality
The JOYOR S10-S electric scooter impresses with its attractive design right at first glance. It features bold orange-colored TPU suspension, which immediately stands out. It resembles the Kugoo Kirin G3 scooter we tested some time ago.
When folded out, it measures 124.5 x 61 x 123 cm, and when folded down it’s 115 x 61 x 52.5 cm. It weighs just 27 kg, so considering the dimensions and weight, we can say it’s one of the more compact high-performance scooters.
When it comes to build quality, it’s exceptionally good. The scooter’s construction is made from an aluminum alloy, and as we mentioned earlier, the suspension is made of thermoplastic polyurethane. Nothing rattles or flexes on the scooter, and overall we’re extremely satisfied with the quality.
Handlebars and display
The JOYOR S10-S scooter’s handlebars are height-adjustable and have a nice width of 65 cm. At the lowest position, they are 100 cm above the ground, and at the highest they’re 124 cm. That makes them suitable for both shorter and taller riders. Our editor is 185 cm tall, and the handlebars fit him well—both in height and width.
What’s great is that, unlike some other scooters, the handlebars here have only minimal play and they absolutely don’t squeak. They feel solid, and the grips are comfortable to hold.
On the left side you’ll find the rear brake lever, a classic bell, and buttons to turn the scooter on/off and adjust power, while on the right side there’s the front brake lever together with the throttle lever you control with your thumb. If you’re switching to a more powerful scooter from a weaker one, you won’t have to get used to a different throttle control.
In the middle there’s a large color display. It shows your current speed, the selected power level, the mode (single-motor or dual-motor drive), the distance covered, the battery status via a graphic indicator, and the startup method (from zero or after kicking off). The display is easy to read even in sunlight.
Foot deck and lighting
Because the JOYOR S10-S electric scooter is fairly compact, the trade-off is a slightly shorter foot platform. For taller people, the scooter may therefore feel a bit short. That’s how it seemed to us too, but after a little riding we got used to it and it didn’t bother us at all.
The advantage is that it fits just fine even in a smaller elevator if you want to keep it in your apartment, or in the trunk of a car.
This platform offers space for your feet measuring 44 x 21 cm, and in the rear part there’s also a footrest for one of your feet, where you can brace. It’s a shame the platform isn’t fully rubberized, but it does have fairly thick edges (4 cm), with only matte metal underneath.
From the sides under the chassis, you can spot orange reflectors along with red rear lights in the corners. The rear brake light is also on the fender. Up front, a white light is included, but it’s rather dim. It turns on when you press the power button to turn the scooter on/off.
Maximum power up to 2000 W
Let’s move on to the most interesting part: the actual performance. The JOYOR S10-S has two motors, and each of them provides 1000 W. The total power of 2000 W is more than respectable—so you can look forward to a fast, fun ride.
Once you turn the scooter on, you’re always in S-drive mode, which means only one motor is active. Even in this mode the performance is very good, but once you switch to D-drive, where both motors are active, you can feel a clear difference.
In dual mode, the JOYOR S10-S has great acceleration and the ride is genuinely enjoyable—we always had fun with it. You can choose from 3 riding modes with maximum speeds of 20, 35, and 65 km/h. Besides different top speeds, each mode also offers different acceleration. In the highest mode it’s already quite aggressive, so if you’re not used to a more powerful scooter, we recommend riding carefully.
According to the manufacturer, the scooter should handle a 30 ° climb, so we went to the steepest hill we have nearby. While many weaker scooters can’t make it up, the JOYOR S10-S handled it with ease, hitting a speed of 40 km/h in dual mode.
Suspension, wheels, and brakes of the JOYOR S10-S scooter
The JOYOR S10-S has front and rear suspension using so-called TPU parts that complete the scooter’s design. The suspension is on the stiffer side, but not too stiff, so it works well.
The wheels are 10″, inflatable, and as we mentioned in the introduction, the manufacturer includes an extra inner tube as well. They’re quite thick, which also contributes to a more comfortable ride. Tire size is 80/65 – 6.
Brakes here are disc, hydraulic brakes from the well-known ZOOM brand, which this scooter absolutely needs given its power. Their performance is very good, and we highly appreciate that.
Battery and range on a single charge
The JOYOR S10-S electric scooter is equipped with a 60 V system and an 18 Ah battery. The manufacturer states a maximum range of 70 – 85 km, but we don’t know which mode and at what speed they measured such a range. Of course, as is typical, it’s probably the range you get in one of the weaker modes and at a low speed.
We checked the range during a test ride, when we turned on activity tracking in the Runkeeper app on our smartphone. We rode in Košice and the surrounding villages, and we didn’t skip the hills either. The rider weighed approximately 78 kg and we used the highest mode with dual drive. Since we covered most of the route between villages, we often rode at speeds between 50 – 60 km/h.
On one charge, we covered 35.81 km like this, which isn’t bad at all for this kind of high-speed riding style. Of course, range depends on riding style, but at minimum you should be able to get 30 km even with aggressive and fast riding.
One of the few downsides of this scooter is probably the charging. With the included charger, it takes endless 11 hours. Personally, we charged mostly during the night. The charging connector is located at the top of the chassis and has a screw nut for better securing.
Folding and carrying
It also lets you fold the handlebars together with their stem, which makes carrying the scooter easier. The manufacturer used no less than two safety latches. The first is the folding latch, which prevents unwanted movement by the locking lever.
The second is the lever itself—by using it, we release the joint and the scooter can be easily folded down toward the rear fender. In this position, the latch clicks into place, so you can carry the scooter in the folded state.
JOYOR S10-S: Final rating
The JOYOR S10-S electric scooter really pleasantly surprised us, and we totally understand why it became this summer’s bestseller. For a very attractive price just above the 800 EUR mark, it offers 2000 W of power and a top speed of 65 km/h.
The scooter has a solid, high-quality build that doesn’t creak, with good suspension and brakes, and riding it has always been a pleasure for us. Thanks to its compact dimensions and high performance, it’s very agile, comfortable, and nippy, with exceptionally good acceleration. It also handles hills really well.
Happy to 60 In the system with 18 Ah battery, with which we covered approximately 35 km on a single charge during quick riding in the highest mode. We definitely recommend the JOYOR S10-S to everyone looking for a powerful yet compact e-scooter.
