Pros and Cons of Primus
- Spacious seat
- Smooth power delivery in all riding modes
- Good price to performance ratio
- 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
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.
