A5
Origin
Joyor is a Chinese electric-scooter brand (Xinzhouyang / Shenzhen) that has built its business around affordable, mass-market folding commuters and, later, dual-motor performance models sold widely across Europe through its Joyor-EU storefront and marketplaces like Geekmaxi and Amazon. The A-series is Joyor's small, entry-level line: compact 8-inch-wheel scooters designed for city dwellers who want something they can carry up stairs, fold in seconds and stash under a desk. The A5 sits at the top of that little family - it is mechanically the same scooter as the cheaper A3 but ships with an extra clip-on battery pack to stretch its range past 30 km. It first appeared around 2018 as scooter-sharing and last-mile commuting exploded across European cities, and it has been kept on sale for years as a budget alternative to pricier Xiaomi/Ninebot commuters.

- Brakes
- Electronic (E-ABS) front + mechanical rear foot brake
The verdict
- Very light and genuinely portable with a fast 3-step fold - easy to carry and store
- Removable second battery gives useful 30-35 km range for the class and price
- Simple, cheap to run and maintain (no hydraulics, no disc brakes, solid rear tire)
- Only 25 km/h and 350W - slow on hills and against faster commuters
- Front-only suspension plus (often) solid tires means a firm, buzzy ride on rough tarmac
- E-ABS + foot brake is weaker and less confidence-inspiring than a disc-brake setup
Generations
A3
- Base model, single internal battery, lighter and cheaper
A5
- Same scooter as A3 plus a detachable extra battery for longer range
