Urbmob F10 from Fatbikeskopen.nl

Before we get into the Urbmob F10 itself, the most important point: electric scooters are only permitted on private property in the Netherlands unless they have been approved by the RDW and have a license plate. The F10 falls into the first category. What you get is a compact 17-kilogram scooter with a one-click folding mechanism, puncture-resistant tires, and an anti-slip deck. It is intended for use at a campsite, on private grounds, or in a yard.

Where can you ride the F10?

In the Netherlands, you may only ride a non-approved electric scooter on private property. This includes a campsite, business premises, a yard, or a private road, but not public roads or cycle paths. This is not a minor detail but the key factor determining what you can use this scooter for. If you are looking for something you can legally ride on the street, consider an RDW-approved e-scooter or simply an electric bicycle. It may sound like a detail, but it makes a difference on your daily route.

Folding with one click

The 1-click-fold system folds the scooter down in one motion to approximately 114 by 43 by 52 centimeters. At seventeen kilograms, you can then lift it effortlessly into a car trunk or the back of a camper van. This makes it suitable for transport at a holiday destination or between two locations on a large property. It comes with an integrated bell and kickstand, so you do not need to order anything else to use it.

Tires, deck, and brakes

The 10-inch honeycomb tires are puncture-resistant, so a nail or piece of glass on the grounds will not leave you stranded. The deck is anti-slip, which makes a difference on wet mornings or when you have dirty shoes. Braking is handled by an electric front brake and a rear disc brake, a combination that is sufficient for short distances. The scooter is splash-proof and can handle light rain and shallow puddles without any problems. The brake pads and discs use standard sizes, so they can be replaced at any service point. Hydraulic brakes require occasional bleeding; otherwise, they require little maintenance. The rear light functions as a brake light: it shines more brightly when you brake, allowing people behind you to see sooner that you are slowing down. It has a throttle that moves the scooter forward without pedaling.

Range and weight

The 12.5 amp-hour lithium battery is listed in our specifications as offering approximately 30 kilometers, while the product description mentions a longer range. Assume thirty kilometers and you won’t come up short. That’s more than enough for use on a private property or campsite. The vehicle’s own weight of 17 kilos is light enough to carry, and the maximum load capacity is 120 kilos. The frame is made of aviation aluminum and steel. Don’t leave the battery outside in freezing temperatures, as this will reduce its capacity over time. You can charge it from a regular power outlet, so you don’t need any special equipment.

Who is the Urbmob F10 for?

For use on private property: campsites, business parks, yards, and holiday parks. The manufacturer states that the scooter is suitable for ages fourteen and up. What you cannot do with it is ride to work or the store on public roads, as this type of scooter is not permitted there. If that’s what you want, look for an RDW-approved model or an electric bicycle from our range. Consider where you will store the bike, as that often matters more than the specifications. For commuting within built-up areas, this equipment is more than adequate.
