Pros and Cons of Primus

Likes
  • Spacious seat
  • Smooth power delivery in all riding modes
  • Good price to performance ratio
Dislikes
  • Drum brakes feel inadequate given the scooter’s 130kg weight
  • Plastics quality feels sub-par in places
  • Low-set handlebar will foul with knees while taking U-turns
  • Instrument console feels too basic
Expert's Conclusion

The Primus offers fairly decent performance and features, but for a little more money you can get more premium e-scooters like the base TVS iQube and Ola S1. Ultimately the Primus is an adequately capable, but forgettable, electric scooter.
