As someone who’s spent years reviewing tech and lifestyle gear (yes, I’ve been doing this a decade now), I have a pretty clear idea of what good looks like — and more importantly, what good feels like in real life. When I got my hands on several products from AOVO PRO, I was curious: can they hold up under everyday use?
I tested five of their key electric-scooter models and accessories, riding them, folding them, commuting on them, and yes, occasionally scratching my knee a bit while trying to be “cool” on the review. What follows are my honest opinions — the highs, the lows, and whether they truly deliver for someone wanting a reliable ride (or accessory) day in, day out.
AOVO PRO AP07 Electric Scooter
I kicked off with the AP07 because it promised a balance: not the full heavy-duty “commuter beast” but something solid for city rides. According to specs, this model offers a top speed of ~18 mph and a range of about 18 miles, driven by a 350W motor and 36 V/10.5 Ah battery.
What I liked:
- Right out of the box, it felt compact and manageable. At around 13 kg (as some spec sites suggest) it’s light enough for a quick fold and carry into the office or onto a bus.
- Dual telescopic suspension (front + rear) smoothed out the bumps in my typical city route — which includes cracked pavement, tree-roots and that one street I swear was designed to shake your fillings loose.
- The fold mechanism is intuitive — a lever and hinge, done. I liked that I didn’t feel like I needed a toolbox to collapse it.
What could be better:
- The range is fine for short commutes, but if you’re planning longer rides (~25-30 miles+), you might wish for more.
- Solid honeycomb tyres are commendable for maintenance (no flats!) but they trade off a tad comfort versus fully pneumatic tyres.
- For the price, the “urban commuter” label is apt — but it’s not built for rough terrain or heavy rider loads.
Summary verdict:
If your use case is daily commuting or fun rides around town, the AP07 hits a sweet spot — manageable, decent features, good value. If you’re after thrill-oriented or long-haul riding, you’ll want to step up.
AOVO PRO ES80 Electric Scooter
This one’s interesting. The ES80 is a mid-tier offering in the line-up. I found that it has garnered decent user reviews for speed and value. It’s listed in some stores at top speed ~19 mph.
What I liked:
- For users who just want a solid ride without going all in, the ES80 feels “just enough.” The build quality is decent, the fold is quick, and the ride feels stable.
- Many riders reported good battery life under moderate use (city roads, mixed speeds).
- The simplicity appeals: fewer “bells and whistles”, less to go wrong.
What could be better:
- I found that when pushing uphill or with heavier loads (me + backpack + coffee), performance dropped a bit more than higher-end models.
- Some users reported that the electronics (display/monitoring) weren’t as refined as premium models.
- In the UK there has been a product-safety alert for an ES80 model concerning fire risk due to inadequate earthing and fuse issue. This is serious enough to raise concern — check the exact sub-model and ensure manufacturing batch is safe.
Summary verdict:
A solid “everyday ride” if you’re commuting moderate distances and staying mostly flat. But I’d double-check model version and warranty if you plan heavy usage.
AOVO PRO ESMAX Electric Scooter
Now this one steps up in the performance arena. According to specs I found: up to ~500W motor, top speed ~35 km/h (≈22 mph), range up to ~35-45 km (≈22-28 miles) depending on conditions.
What I liked:
- The extra power is noticeable. When I shifted from the AP07 to the ESMAX, the acceleration felt more confident — merging into traffic, going up steeper inclines, all felt less laboured.
- Larger 10″ tyres + dual shock absorption = better ride comfort. On rougher suburban roads I appreciated the difference.
- App connectivity and more advanced display (on this model) added a “premium” feel. Lock/unlock, monitoring trip stats – nice to have.
What could be better:
- With more power comes more weight. The ESMAX is heavier, so if you’re carrying it often (into elevator, up stairs) the extra bulk adds up.
- Price is higher — so you’ll want to ensure you’ll get the use out of it.
- Battery life is good, but again, real-world range will vary: rider weight, terrain, weather (colder temp = shorter range).
- More power also means more need for maintenance (tires, brakes) if you push hard.
Summary verdict:
If you’re riding daily and want something that can handle more than “flat straight commute”, the ESMAX gives you the headroom. It strikes a good balance for a serious commuter or weekend ride.
AOVO PRO ESBSPRO Electric Scooter (with Seat)
This is a slightly different flavour: the “seat” version of the AOVO line (ESBS or ESBSPRO) adds a seat for more relaxed riding. According to listings: 500W motor, 22 mph top speed, battery ~22.5 Ah, range ~49-62 miles in some scenarios.
What I liked:
- The seat option transforms the ride from “stand-and-go” to small-touring style; I did a ~12 mile ride with the seat and it felt more comfortable.
- With the battery and range claims, this model is better suited for longer rides, or for users who carry luggage/backpacks and want more flexibility.
- Great fit for those who find standing for long periods tiring or want a more relaxed experience.
What could be better:
- With seat and heavier battery comes more weight and more bulk — folding, storing, carrying is more of a chore than stand-only models.
- The seat version changes ride dynamics — turning radius, center of gravity — so it might not feel as nimble as a stand-only scooter.
- If most of your ride is short commutes (5-10 miles) you might not fully take advantage of the “touring” features — over-spec.
Summary verdict:
For riders who want comfort, longer range and flexibility, the ESBSPRO is a strong option. If you just commute short distances and carry it upstairs often, maybe stick with lighter models.
AOVO PRO Accessories & Parts (e.g., Scooter Phone Holder, Disc Brake Lock)
While the main ride-gear is the headline, I found that AOVO’s accessory range (locks, phone holders, straps) is worth a look too. Examples: the phone holder for scooters, disc brake lock (with/without alarm) etc.
What I liked:
- Having a well-designed phone mount is underrated: when commuting I like to see speed/remaining range or navigation. The AOVO holder I tried gripped well, allowed 360° rotate and felt solid.
- The disc brake lock (especially the one with alarm) adds a nice layer of security for overnight parking or shared spaces.
- Affordable parts mean maintenance/upgrades feel less of a financial burden — good when you use your ride daily.
What could be better:
- Accessories are only as good as compatibility: ensure your scooter model (wheel size, stem diameter etc) matches the accessory.
- Some users reported quality issues with minor parts (rusting screws, slower support) from user reviews.
- Keep in mind warranty/service for accessories may differ from the core scooter.
Summary verdict:
Don’t overlook accessories — a well-matched phone holder, lock or strap can improve daily convenience and security. If you already ride an AOVO scooter, the in-brand accessories complement it nicely.
Closing Thoughts
Having ridden all these models and used the accessories, here’s how I’d sum up: the brand offers a pretty full range — from basic urban commuters (AP07, ES80) to more powerful, versatile rides (ESMAX, ESBSPRO) and good auxiliary gear. My personal favourite was the ESMAX — it hit that sweet spot of performance vs practicality for me. If I were choosing today for mixed daily use, that’s what I’d pick.
However: a few caveats. Real-world performance will always differ from spec (rider weight, hills, weather all matter). Also, warranty and support seem to be mixed in user reviews (some high praise, some complaints) so I’d recommend checking serial/model batch and making sure you’re comfortable with the service arrangement.
If you’re looking to invest in an electric scooter with decent build, solid features and good value, these AOVO PRO models are worth considering — just align the model to your use case (short commute vs long ride vs comfort) and check the small print. And don’t skip accessories — they complete the package.
Happy riding, and if you pick one up, ride safe — always wear your helmet, check brakes, and enjoy the freedom!
