Origin

Joyor is a Chinese electric-scooter maker that emerged in the late-2010s wave of budget-to-mid personal-mobility brands, positioning itself between throwaway no-name scooters and premium marques like Ninebot. The company built its reputation in Europe and North America on value: it undercut the established players while still shipping pneumatic tyres, disc braking and long-range batteries. The X-series (X1, X5, X5S) is Joyor's touring-commuter line, defined by larger 10-inch wheels that soak up road irregularities better than the 8.5-inch clones common at the price. The X5S sits at the top of that series as the long-range 'S' variant of the X5, adding a bigger 48V/13Ah pack and a 500W motor over the smaller X1. Launched around 2019 and sold continuously since, it has been reviewed heavily by independent outlets and remains one of Joyor's best-known models on the used market.

The verdict

+Strengths
  • Genuinely long range for the price thanks to the 48V/13Ah battery
  • 10-inch pneumatic tyres plus front suspension give a comfortable ride on rough urban tarmac
  • Strong value: pneumatic tyres, disc brake and accessories at a budget-to-mid price
Weaknesses
  • Only average hill-climbing — the 500W motor labours on steep grades and with heavier riders
  • Front-only suspension and a single main disc brake; rear ride and stopping feel are basic
  • Only IPX4 water resistance and reported patchy after-sales parts/support

Generations

  1. EU compliant

    • Legal-for-road EU trim; speed capped by regulation, range is the selling point.
  2. US / export unlocked

    • Same hardware, no 25 km/h cap; faster but same battery so real range drops at speed.
