The latest electric scooter from the well-known Beijing tech company, the Eleglide Coozy, offers several helpful upgrades over the Mi Electric Scooter Pro 3. I’ve been using the scooter for a little over a week now, and I really enjoy riding it. In this review, I’ll discuss why this might be Eleglide’s best e-scooter to date and why it deserves a spot in our list of the best electric scooters, as well as where I think it still needs improvement.
There are several options available for electric scooters, both in terms of features and cost. The two main categories of models are either scooters designed for use in businesses or scooters designed for use by consumers.
The newest electric scooter from Eleglide is the Coozy.
To be the greatest is difficult, especially if you have to cope with a lot of rules and criteria, as in Europe. Therefore, I believe Eleglide found the ideal balance to dominate the electric scooter market. Examine the stylish electric scooter now.

Eleglide Coozy: Design and Build Quality
Instead of the typical khaki box that almost all manufacturers use, Eleglide uses a white box.
The box is stunning and has prominent characteristics written on the front, making for a wonderful unwrapping experience. All the contents are shielded by thick cushions. The scooter, a power adapter, an Allen key, an expanded nozzle adapter, screws, a tire, and an instruction booklet are all included in the box.
The Scooter Pro 2’s fundamental layout largely carries over into the Eleglide Coozy. The scooter is 1130mm in height and is little under 1210mm length. The deck is 190mm broad, which is a bit narrower than models like the Ninebot Max but still provides plenty of room for most feet.
It is far lighter than many others on the market, including the Mi Pro 3, which weighed 18.7kg. Although it has a smaller battery, which will save weight, it still has a range of 50 kilometers.
Although the design is identical to that of the previous model, Eleglide is now employing blue as an accent color rather than their signature orange. Gravity Grey and Onyx Black are the two colors that are offered for the scooter. The remainder of the scooter looks the same, is the same size, and I still have the same issues with the little board. The deck is big enough for someone with small feet, but not for someone my size.
The quick lock bracket is one brand-new feature. To prevent inadvertent use, this has a safety catch that must be raised before opening. Despite this, it still folds rapidly and easily in three clicks. The Eleglide Coozy can be folded to a height of about 516 mm, which is still quite portable despite not being as flat as models with a lower bracket. The hook on the rear wheel arch and the catch on the handlebars go together well.
The only other color on the black variant is the brilliant blue brake lines, which can be seen on the sides of the front and back wheels. The scooter appears quite attractive, and this actually functions very well.
The handlebar will be the same; the accelerator is on the right, while the bell and brake are on the left. We have a large, bright screen in the middle. The screen’s brightness caught me off guard; everything was clearly visible in the middle of the day.
Since the initial generation, Eleglide scooters have proven reliable. The first generation offers greater strength and a longer lifespan thanks to its aviation-grade aluminum construction. Weak tires that punctured easily from tire-to-tube friction were a prevalent issue with older scooters. However, Eleglide is employing tires and tubes that are stronger and better this time.
Although not overly noticeable, it’s unfortunate that the brake lines protrude from the side rather than continuing into the body. Additionally, it appears like the rear disc brakes have been left without any protection at all, probably to reduce weight. The wheel arch is instead strengthened by two thin metal strips. These do flex if the wheel arch is under too much pressure, such as when one is standing on it, but they quickly recover.
Eleglide Coozy: Motor and Driving
According to Eleglide, the Coozy has a 350W motor with a 540W maximum power output. Although 540W seems a touch excessive, the acceleration and power delivery are outstanding. The scooter travels at a 25 km/h rate. I believe the scooter is capable of more, but EU rules are holding it back.
A clear visual representation of all critical information, including your speed, battery life, and drive mode, is provided by the LED display panel on the handlebars. Additionally, it indicates whether your headlights are on, whether you are Bluetooth-connected to your phone, and whether the scooter has been locked. The single power button can also be used to switch between drive modes and turn on the headlights with a single stroke.
Your right thumb should be near to the accelerator lever, and your left thumb should be next to the bell. The rear disc brake and electronic brake are both engaged by a single brake lever on the left.
Smooth riding is experienced. 10 inch tires offer a smooth ride and effective shock absorption. Those pneumatic tires, though, are unquestionably a benefit. The wheels are somewhat small at 10 inches, but the air-filled tires, which come with inner tubes, provide a considerably smoother ride than larger run-flat or solid tires. The scooter includes a spare tire and inner tube in the box in case you have a flat. Although it may not be as practical as run-flat or solid tires, the ride is much smoother on rough roads.
On the Eleglide Coozy, you have a choice of three driving settings: pedestrian mode, which is limited to 3mph, ordinary drive mode, which gets you up to 12.4mph, and sport mode, which gets you to the maximum 15.5mph top speed.
The scooter automatically increases its power while in pedestrian or walking mode to enable moving it easier without having to grip the throttle. This is actually very helpful because you encounter some motor resistance while attempting to push it with the scooter off. Although the top speed isn’t all that much higher, the conventional driving mode is useful if you want to keep your speed down. I usually stick with the sport option.
Eleglide Coozy: Battery and Range
The scooter’s 450Wh battery allows a 75kg person to travel 50-55 kilometers on it. The tested range is also rather impressive; in the city, with my 90-kilogram weight, bumps, numerous starts and stops, and a small uphill ride, I was able to travel 45-50 kilometers on a single charge.
With a range that is more than adequate for the majority of commutes and a charging time of only 5.5 hours, you can quickly charge it at work or in the evenings when you return home, if necessary. According to the specs, the battery should survive for 500 cycles, which means that even if you charge it twice a week, it would still last for over five years.
Additionally, the battery is protected from short circuits, overcurrents, overcharging and discharging, and undervoltage auto-sleep.
Eleglide Coozy: Conclusions
The Eleglide Coozy is a fantastic little scooter that comes equipped with all the functionality you require while being portable and light enough to take when necessary. Thanks to the air-filled tires, it not only feels solid and well-made but also provides a rather smooth ride.
For whom is this scooter intended? The ideal scooter for first-timers and city commuters. If you require something that complies with safety laws, this is an excellent match for expert users. The best urban electric scooter, in my opinion, just got better, especially given its ideal pricing, abundance of attachments, and enormous popularity. It is one of the most popular items from 2022 and 2023.
It’s one of the greatest alternatives available for what is essentially a mid-range scooter in terms of pricing. More speed can be had for a higher price, but with that speed comes a lot more weight, which makes carrying your scooter more difficult.
I’ve liked every ride I’ve taken on the Eleglide Coozy scooter, including quick runs to the store, leisurely excursions to the beach, and even some rides just for fun. This model ought to be on your shortlist if you’re looking for an economical electric scooter.
