Many riders want a scooter that feels solid, pulls hard on hills, and still works as a simple daily commuter. In this Yadea G10 review we walk through a trail styled single motor scooter that tries to do all of that without feeling too serious. The Yadea G10 mixes an 800 watt rear motor, long travel suspension, and a big battery in a sturdy frame that looks ready for real use. So this article puts more weight on ride comfort, braking feel, and day to day practicality than on marketing claims.
Key Specifications
On paper, the specifications place the Yadea G10 in the upper range of single motor electric scooters. It runs a 48 volt 15.6 amp hour battery, feeds an 800 watt rear hub motor, and rolls on 10 inch off road tubeless tires. The claimed top speed sits at 25 kilometers per hour, and claimed range lands around 50 kilometers per charge in gentle riding.

Price
Yadea puts the G10 in the upper mid range of single motor scooters. It sits above simple 350–500 watt commuters in power and range, and below heavy dual motor trail machines in price and speed. So it targets riders who want more punch and comfort than entry level models without stepping into serious high speed territory.
From a hardware view, the G10 gives more than many scooters around it. You get a 48 V 15.6 Ah battery, an 800 watt motor, true dual suspension, 10 inch off road tubeless tires, turn signals, and a color touchscreen dash with app link. Plenty of slim commuters trade those features away to save weight or cost. Some skip suspension. Some use tube tires. Some keep only basic lights and a small segment display.
Value depends a lot on what your rides look like. If your daily route is short, flat, and smooth, the G10 really will not stretch its legs. In that case, a lighter and cheaper scooter covers the same distance without much downside. When your route has hills, long stretches, and beat up pavement, the extra power, comfort, and range start to feel worth the extra money.
So the G10 settles into a clear gap. It costs more than small city scooters that focus only on low weight. It costs less than large dual motor tanks. In exchange, it offers single motor simplicity, strong power, a decent battery, and comfort that leans toward trail style machines.

Design & Build Quality
The Yadea G10 looks serious at first glance. The frame is low and long with thick metal tubes. The stem is chunky. Suspension arms stick out at the front and rear. Most of the scooter wears dark paint, with a few color accents on the fork and swing arm so it does not look dull.
The deck is wide and long, with a grippy top layer and a raised rear step. That step matters once you ride a bit harder. You can put your front foot across the main deck and rest your rear foot on the step, which gives more leverage under braking and over bumps. Many tall riders will appreciate how much room they get compared with short deck commuters.
Build quality feels above average for the class. The frame has clean welds and does not flex much under a heavy rider. The folding joint sits low near the deck, which helps keep the stem stiff when you brake or turn quickly. When folded, a hook at the top of the stem locks into a latch near the rear so you can carry the scooter by the stem.
Cables and hoses stay close to the metal. They run along the stem and frame in a tidy way and do not stick out enough to catch on bags or door frames. That sounds small, yet it makes daily life nicer when you move the scooter through tight spaces or store it beside bikes and strollers.
The dual suspension setup is one of the main highlights. Both wheels sit on swing arms with coil springs. Travel suits city streets, curbs, and light off road paths. If you step on the deck, you can see the suspension move, which is a good sign. On broken asphalt, that movement helps keep the deck calmer and your joints happier.
Spring tuning leans firm. Medium and heavy riders get the best feel out of the box. Lighter riders may still feel sharp bumps, especially at high tire pressure. Many people end up dropping pressure a little to find a balance between comfort, range, and steering feel.
Small touches round out the impression. The kickstand feels strong and steady. The deck rubber grips well even when damp. Fasteners use common sizes so basic tool kits handle brake tweaks and clamp checks. It still makes sense to inspect the folding joint, stem clamp, and brake calipers from time to time, since the scooter’s weight puts extra load on those parts.
Motor, Power & Acceleration
Power is where the Yadea G10 starts to separate itself. The 800 watt rear hub motor and 48 V system give it a real shove compared with entry level scooters. Off the line, the scooter pulls away in a smooth and confident way. In low modes, it behaves gently around people and pets. In higher modes, it jumps harder and reaches its speed cap quickly.
From a stop, you get up to 15 km/h fast enough that you do not feel caught in traffic. You press the thumb throttle, hear a soft motor whir, and feel the rear wheel dig in. Since the drive is at the back, weight shifts onto the driven wheel as you launch, which helps traction on clean surfaces.
On dry pavement, grip stays strong during hard launches. On dusty or sandy corners, full throttle from a dead stop can spin the rear for a moment. You soon learn to roll on power with a bit of care when the ground looks loose.
Climbing performance matches the motor rating. Short city hills and ramps hardly slow the scooter. Long grades around 10 percent will drop speed, but the G10 still climbs without drama for an average adult rider. You do not need to kick along or weave. For a single motor scooter, that is a solid showing.
Throttle response feels friendly. Small thumb movements give small changes in speed. Deep presses give full power without a sudden hit that might throw you off balance. You can crawl at walking pace in quiet zones, then pick up speed when you enter a bike lane or open street.
The ride modes help tune the feel. Eco style modes keep acceleration and top speed soft to save range and keep new riders comfortable. Stronger modes unlock the full character of the 800 watt motor. Many owners end up using a mid mode most of the time and save the top mode for clear paths or steep hills.
Battery, Range & Efficiency
The 48 V 15.6 Ah battery in the Yadea G10 gives around 750 watt hours of energy. That puts it above many basic commuters and gives room for long rides without constant charging. For people who ride often, that matters more than it seems at first.
Marketing numbers point to about 50 kilometers of range under ideal conditions. Real world results will be lower for most riders. Stops and starts, hills, wind, rider weight, and higher speed modes all pull more power from the pack.
A realistic range target for a mid weight rider in mixed use sits around 30–40 kilometers. That number leaves a buffer so you do not arrive home on a blinking last bar. A light rider on flat bike paths in an eco mode can get closer to the claim. A heavy rider in the strongest mode on hilly ground should plan for less and charge more often.
Regenerative braking helps a little. When you let off the throttle or use the brakes, the motor harvests some energy and feeds it back into the battery. The strength of this effect normally adjusts in the app. High settings give strong engine style drag when you roll off, which suits hilly routes. Low settings feel almost like coasting. The recovered energy does not change the world, yet it extends range slightly and reduces brake pad wear.
Charging works best as an overnight habit. From a low battery, the stock charger needs around 8–10 hours to hit full. So a common pattern is to ride during the day, plug in after the last trip, and unplug in the morning. There is no true fast charge option listed for most regions. For battery health, it still helps to avoid storing the scooter with a full or empty battery for long periods.
Efficiency per kilometer sits in the rider’s hands. Smooth acceleration, steady cruising, and moderate tire pressure stretch distance. Hard launches, full speed runs into headwinds, and very low or very high pressures burn energy. The modes and app settings give enough control that careful riders can tune the scooter to match their routes and habits quite well.
Ride Quality, Handling & Comfort
Ride comfort counts as one of the big reasons to pick a Yadea G10 over a slimmer commuter. The 10 inch off road tubeless tires and dual suspension soak up a lot of what city roads throw at you. On cracked asphalt, the deck moves far less than on a rigid frame. Small potholes and manhole covers feel like dull bumps instead of sharp hits.
The suspension setup uses swing arms and coil springs at both ends. Travel is tuned for real roads and light trails, not huge jumps. On city streets, it cuts harshness and helps keep both tires glued to the ground. On compact dirt paths, it smooths out ruts and loose sections so you feel more in control.
Stability stands out at speed. The long wheelbase and low deck keep the scooter calm and planted. At 25 km/h, the G10 tracks straight, even when wind picks up. Steering inputs result in clean arcs instead of twitchy swings. That gives new riders more confidence and makes longer rides less tiring.
Low speed handling stays friendly too. The handlebar width gives enough leverage for quick direction changes. You can weave around potholes and move through tight bike traffic without fighting the scooter. The turning circle is not tiny, yet U turns on a standard bike path still feel easy.
The deck layout helps comfort. Riders have room to change stance during a ride. A wide stance with one foot on the rear step works well for hard braking and bumpy sections. A more relaxed stance with both feet on the main deck feels nice in slow traffic. This flexibility reduces fatigue on longer days.
Noise levels remain low. The hub motor makes a mild whine under heavy load, but tire noise and wind usually sound louder. If the suspension starts to creak, a quick check and a bit of lubrication on pivot points fixes it.
Over a 20–30 kilometer ride with mixed surfaces, the G10 leaves you less beat up than rigid frame scooters. Hands and wrists take less vibration. Ankles and knees see fewer sharp shocks. So for frequent riders, comfort becomes a real selling point, not just a nice bonus.
Braking & Safety Features
The Yadea G10 backs its speed and weight with a solid brake setup. Mechanical disc brakes sit on both wheels, and an electronic motor brake supports them. That mix gives strong stopping power and good control.
Brake levers feel firm, with clear bite early in the pull. As you squeeze harder, stopping force builds in a smooth way. That lets you feather the brakes into a corner, then clamp harder on the straight if you need to stop fast. The motor brake joins in as you slow, which takes some load off the pads and smooths the first part of the stop.
On dry pavement at top speed, you can bring the scooter down to a crawl in a short and controlled distance when you use both brakes properly. The long deck and rear step help you shift weight back so the rear wheel stays planted. On loose gravel or dust, you simply ease off the front lever and lean more on the rear and motor brake to avoid a front washout.
Safety electronics add another layer. A tilt sensor cuts power if the scooter leans too far, which reduces the risk of a spinning wheel if the scooter falls over. Temperature monitoring warns you through the display if things get too hot after long climbs or very heavy use, so you can give the scooter a break instead of cooking components.
Lighting is well thought out. A front headlight mounted on the stem throws light far enough for night rides at city speeds. The rear light makes you visible from behind and brightens when you brake. Front and rear turn signals add side visibility when you change lanes or turn at night. Once you get used to them, hand signals feel like a step back.
The IPX4 splash rating means the scooter handles wet streets and light rain. You still need to respect deep puddles and heavy storms, yet you do not have to panic if a shower hits during your commute. Regular checks on tire tread, brake pad wear, and bolt tightness help keep the scooter safe and ready.
Portability & Daily Usability
Portability is where the Yadea G10 pays for its power and comfort. Folded, it is still about 1.26 meters long. The weight sits around 25.3 kilograms. So this is not a scooter you want to carry up many flights of stairs every day.
The folding process itself feels simple enough. You flip a latch near the base of the stem, fold the stem down, and hook it onto a catch near the rear. Once locked, you can lift the scooter by the stem and move it short distances. Doing that from the sidewalk to a trunk or into an elevator feels fine for many riders. Doing it up three floors of narrow stairs every day will tire most people out fast.
In daily use, life with the G10 stays pleasant when you do not need to lift it far. The kickstand drops easily and holds the scooter stable. The deck height feels natural for quick step on and step off in traffic. The handlebars do not fold at the grips, so the cockpit stays stiff and clean, with the trade off that the folded package is a bit wider.
The color touchscreen wakes quickly and shows speed, mode, battery, lights, and warnings at a glance. In shade or cloudy weather, visibility is great. Under strong sun, you may tilt the bar or shade the screen for a second to read it clearly. Over time, you get used to how many kilometers you get per battery bar in your usual mode, which makes planning simple.
Storage works best in garages, ground level rooms, and buildings with elevators. The IPX4 rating means you can keep the scooter in a covered outdoor spot that stays mostly dry. For long term battery life and clean looks, indoor storage still makes the most sense.
In short, the G10 handles daily commuting well as long as your routine does not include long carries. If your schedule includes many stairs or very tight spaces, a lighter and shorter scooter will feel like a better match.
Features, App & Extras
The Yadea G10 packs quite a few features that go beyond the basics. The color touchscreen dash sits at the center of everything. It shows speed, selected mode, battery level, light status, turn signal icons, and warning messages in a clean layout. Buttons stay simple, so you are not hunting for controls while riding.
The Yadea app adds extra control. After pairing over Bluetooth, you gain access to a digital lock, ride logs, and settings for cruise control and regenerative braking strength. The lock blocks the throttle and can trigger an alarm if someone tries to roll the scooter away. You still want a physical lock for real security, yet the app lock gives an extra layer that feels handy in quick stops.
Cruise control kicks in after you hold a steady speed for a few seconds, as long as it is enabled. An icon on the dash lets you know it is active. A brake tap or throttle change turns it off. On long straight bike paths, this takes pressure off your thumb and encourages smoother riding.
Regenerative braking level adjusts in the app. A stronger setting slows the scooter more when you roll off, which works well on long hills. A softer setting feels closer to normal coasting and lets you do more of the braking with the levers. It is nice to have both options, since different cities and riders prefer different feels.
You get other thoughtful extras too. A parking or alarm mode darkens the screen and locks the controls. Cable routing stays neat, which helps in shared storage spaces. The kickstand has a broad foot, so it does not sink into warm asphalt or soft ground quite as fast as skinny stands. The handlebar leaves room for a phone mount or extra light if you want more gear.
If you like tech heavy scooters, the G10 fits that taste well. If you prefer something more stripped back and city focused, a model like the Yadea X1 sits closer to that style, while the G10 leans toward comfort and mixed surface use.
Who the Yadea G10 Is For
The Yadea G10 is not built for everyone, and that is fine. It makes more sense for riders who share a few clear needs.
First, it fits people with longer routes. If your day includes 15–30 kilometers of riding across town for work, classes, and errands, the large battery and real suspension pay off. Short casual rides still feel nice, though the scooter really shines when the odometer climbs.
Second, it suits heavier riders and people who carry gear often. The 120 kg rating and stiff frame handle big backpacks and shopping without feeling wobbly. Many light commuters start to feel nervous near their limit. The G10 still feels planted with a full load.
Third, it serves riders who treat their scooter as real transport. Turn signals, strong brakes, an app lock, and an IPX4 rating show that intent. If you use the scooter as a car replacement for short trips, those details matter far more than saving a few kilograms.
Fourth, it works best for riders with ground level parking, garages, or elevators. If you live on a fifth floor with no lift, carrying over 25 kilograms every day will get old fast. In those homes, a lighter scooter simply fits daily life better.
Fifth, it appeals to gadget fans. The touchscreen, app tuning, alarms, and cruise control feel fun and useful if you enjoy tech. Riders who want pure simplicity and zero phone interaction may see these extra layers as clutter.
If you see yourself in most of these points, the G10 starts to make sense. If you only ride a few flat blocks on perfect pavement and climb many stairs, it probably does not.
Value for Money & Verdict in this Yadea G10 review
Value for money always comes back to use. A person with a short, flat ride on smooth paths gets limited benefit from the Yadea G10. The extra power, range, and suspension spend most of their time idling. In that case, the scooter feels like more machine than the rider really needs.
For riders with longer and rougher routes, the story flips. The 800 watt motor cuts travel time and deals with hills without stress. The 48 V 15.6 Ah battery stretches distance and reduces how often you hunt for outlets. Dual suspension and 10 inch tubeless tires make broken asphalt and light trails far more comfortable. Turn signals, strong brakes, and app tools raise safety and peace of mind.
This Yadea G10 review shows a scooter that leans toward power, comfort, and features instead of low weight and tiny folded size. It feels closer to a small trail scooter that moved into the city than a slim city scooter with a few upgrades. You trade stair friendliness and compact storage for stability, hill strength, and range.
The downsides stay clear. The scooter feels heavy when you carry it. The folded package is long and a bit wide. Charging takes time. Very light riders who dream about a soft, floating feel may still prefer models with more advanced suspension. Yet none of these points ruin the package for the right rider.
So the verdict lands like this. If you ride more than you lift, if your city has real hills and rough pavement, and if you care about comfort and safety features, the Yadea G10 delivers a strong mix for the price range. It feels like a solid long term partner rather than a toy you forget in a closet after a month.
