Fast Answer for Busy Riders ⚡ (TL;DR)
The LAOTIE SR10 edges out the IENYRID ES60 overall thanks to its stronger real-world range, punchier power delivery, and slightly better value per euro if you can live with its rough edges and standby battery drain. It is the better choice for heavier, thrill-seeking riders who want long, fast runs and are happy to wrench a bit.
The IENYRID ES60 makes more sense if you care more about comfort, stability, and that removable battery than outright performance per euro, and you prefer a scooter that feels a touch more sorted and refined once set up. It suits riders who want fast, plush commuting and mixed-terrain "exploring" more than endless top-speed blasts.
Both are heavy, high-powered, very non-beginner machines with compromises hiding under their eye-watering spec sheets, so your choice should be about which flaws you're willing to live with. Keep reading - the devil with these two is absolutely in the details.
Big battery, big motors, and even bigger promises: the IENYRID ES60 and LAOTIE SR10 sit in that dangerous middle ground where scooters stop being toys and start behaving like slightly unhinged small motorcycles. On paper, both give you power and range that used to be reserved for premium brands costing double or more.
I've spent enough kilometres on both that my knees, wrists, and survival instincts have all filed formal complaints. The ES60 feels like a cushioned, LED-soaked off-road tank that happens to commute; the SR10 is more of a stripped-back muscle car that someone welded handlebars onto. The ES60 is for the adventurous commuter who wants comfort and confidence; the SR10 is for the budget hooligan who treats every on-ramp like a qualifying lap.
If you're trying to decide which beast deserves your money, let's dig past the marketing gloss and see what you're really signing up for.
Who Are These For, and Why Compare Them?
Both scooters live in the "prosumer" performance bracket: too big and powerful to be casual last-mile toys, but far cheaper than the exotic super-scooters everyone flexes on YouTube. They're aimed at adults who want to replace a lot of car trips, crush hills, and arrive grinning instead of sweating.
The IENYRID ES60 casts itself as the all-terrain commuter: huge air tyres, plush hydraulic suspension, removable battery, flashy lighting - a sort of SUV on two wheels. It wants to take you to work during the week and out onto fire roads at the weekend without flinching.
The LAOTIE SR10 is more of a budget Zero 10X/VSETT 10+ rival: classic dual-swingarm performance chassis, big 60 V battery, brutal acceleration, and a price that looks like a typo. It's built to go fast and far on tarmac and light trails, with minimal concern for daintiness.
They compete because, if you have around one thousand euros and you want "too much scooter" for the money, these two will appear side by side on your shortlist. Both promise speed, range, and hydraulic brakes in a package that will make shared scooters look like children's toys. The similarities end the moment your feet touch the deck.
Design & Build Quality
Park them together and the personalities jump out immediately. The ES60 is big and theatrical: tall stem wrapped in "fantasy colour" LEDs, wide deck, those chunky 11-inch tyres, and exposed hydraulic hardware. It has a modern, almost sci-fi off-road vibe. You get the impression the designer really wanted you to notice it - and you will.
The SR10, by contrast, looks like it rolled straight out of an industrial workshop. Boxy swingarms, visible welds, thick collar clamp around the stem, a wide grip-tape deck and a general "I lift" posture. It's not trying to be pretty; it's trying to look unapologetically capable.
In the hands, the ES60's frame feels reassuringly solid, with a slightly more cohesive, integrated feel than the SR10. The folding joint feels stout, the deck is well-finished, and the removable battery system is better thought out than I expected at this price. Cable routing is a bit messy in places and you can tell cost was cut on some fittings - think mudguards and some plastics - but the fundamentals feel competent.
The SR10 feels more "parts-bin assembled": very strong core frame, decent welds, but cheaper touch points. The stock grips are forgettable, the bar width feels a tad conservative, and the stem clamp, while robust, doesn't ooze refinement. It's the kind of scooter that makes you instinctively reach for a toolkit before your first ride. Once you've done the ritual bolt-tightening and a bit of grease in the right places, though, the platform itself is impressively rigid.
Neither screams premium in the way a Dualtron or VSETT does, but both give you a lot of hard metal for the money. If you value slightly more polished ergonomics and that neat removable battery, the ES60 pulls ahead; if you'd rather have a simple, proven swingarm chassis you can easily tinker with, the SR10's brutalist honesty has its own appeal.
Ride Comfort & Handling
This is where their characters really separate.
The ES60 is unapologetically comfort-biased. The hydraulic double-wishbone suspension at both ends, combined with those fat 11-inch air tyres, gives you that "floating carpet" sensation over cracked tarmac and cobbles. After several kilometres of neglected city pavement, my knees still felt surprisingly fresh. You can feel the suspension actually working - it doesn't just bounce; it damps. Add a wide, grippy deck and you get a planted, relaxed stance that makes long rides feel less like a workout.
Handling on the ES60 is stable and confidence-inspiring. The long wheelbase and big tyres resist twitchiness; quick lane changes feel deliberate rather than skittish. You pay for that with a bit of sluggishness in really tight, low-speed manoeuvres, but as a fast commuter or light off-roader it's an easy, forgiving ride.
The SR10 is more old-school performance scooter: dual "C-type" swingarms with spring/oil shocks and smaller 10-inch tubeless tyres. Comfort is still good - much better than any rigid commuter - but noticeably firmer than the ES60. On broken surfaces the SR10 feels more communicative: you know what the road is doing under you. Light riders might even call it bouncy until the springs bed in. After a longer run on rougher streets, my joints knew they'd done some work in a way they didn't on the ES60.
Where the SR10 claws back points is in agility. The slightly shorter wheelbase and smaller tyres make it keener to tip into corners. It feels more playful, more "point and squirt". At speed you still get that heavy, planted feel, but it's easier to thread through tight traffic than the ES60. The trade-off is that you feel more of the chaos when the asphalt turns ugly.
If your daily reality is cratered bike lanes and endless expansion joints, the ES60's suspension and tyre combo is kinder to your body. If you prefer a slightly firmer, more connected ride and like to carve corners rather than just float over them, the SR10 handles with a bit more attitude.
Performance
Both of these will make rental scooters feel like you left the handbrake on, but they go about it slightly differently.
The ES60's dual motors deliver stout, almost "diesel-like" torque. In dual-motor mode, it pulls hard off the line and keeps shoving convincingly up to its upper speeds. The finger throttle is quite sensitive at low speeds, so the first few days in traffic can feel a bit jerky until you re-calibrate your right hand. Once you're dialled in, acceleration is strong but predictable. On steep climbs, the ES60 barely seems to notice - it just digs in and goes, even with a heavier rider aboard.
Top-end on the ES60 is very much in small-motorcycle territory. Real-world GPS speeds land somewhat lower than the flashy claims, but you're still in the "keep your helmet visor locked" bracket. Stability at that pace is decent; I never felt it was eager to spit me off, though I wouldn't complain about a steering damper on rougher, fast descents.
The SR10, though, is the one that actually makes you double-check that your feet are properly planted before you hit full trigger. With significantly more peak power, its shove in dual-motor "turbo" mode is on another level. It surges forward in a way that can catch unprepared riders off guard; popping the front wheel over bumps is almost too easy. In traffic, if there's a gap, the SR10 will happily throw you into it before you've entirely finished thinking "that might be enough room."
Top-speed sensation is borderline excessive on both, but the SR10 maintains its pull for longer, especially as the battery drops from full. On big hills, it feels like a mountain goat on a double espresso. If the ES60 strolls up gradients, the SR10 sprints them.
Braking on both is a highlight. The ES60's hydraulic discs with electronic ABS feel strong and progressive, with plenty of one-finger power. The SR10's Zoom hydraulics are equally stout, with a firm lever feel that matches the scooter's aggressive character. Both systems inspire the kind of confidence you absolutely need at these velocities, though on wet or dusty surfaces you'll still want to respect the limits of those small contact patches.
In pure thrill terms, the SR10 is the faster, more violent scooter. If you're after something that feels like a dragster on a budget, it's the one that will have you giggling and also quietly questioning your life choices. The ES60 is still very quick, but its power delivery is more about muscular, controllable shove than lunatic fireworks.
Battery & Range
On paper, both claim frankly heroic ranges. Real-world, they're closer than you might expect, but there is a clear hierarchy.
The ES60's battery sits in that "very healthy" bracket for a 60 V scooter. Riding it in mixed modes - some dual-motor blasts, a lot of sensible cruising - I consistently ended the day with more in reserve than the display's early voltage drop made me fear. Commuter-style riding at moderated speeds easily stretches to long round-trips, and more leisurely outings can be stretched into all-afternoon adventures without white-knuckling the battery gauge. Push it hard in dual-motor mode all the time and you'll still drain it appreciably faster, of course, but for most riders it comfortably outlasts the average daily routine.
The SR10's pack, however, is simply bigger. In practice, that translates to noticeably longer rides before you're thinking about the charger. Hammer it in dual-motor most of the time and it still shrugs off distances that would have many mid-range scooters crying for mercy. Ride in its Eco settings and it becomes a genuine "charge once or twice a week" proposition even for sizeable commutes.
There is a sting in the SR10's tail: its infamous standby drain. Because of the alarm and remote receiver, leaving it parked for days can nibble away at the battery even when you haven't turned a wheel. It's not catastrophic if you ride frequently, but for occasional use or winter storage you need to be disciplined - either disconnect the pack or top it up regularly, or you risk discovering a very expensive paperweight in the spring.
Charging times favour the SR10 on paper, but both are dealing with big battery packs here. The ES60 can halve its quite long single-charger time if you use both ports; the SR10's "full tank" also demands patience unless you've got faster chargers. In practical terms, both are overnight-chargers for most riders; the SR10 just gives you more riding per plug-in, as long as you manage that vampire drain.
If maximum distance between charges is your priority and you're diligent about storage habits, the SR10 is the range king. If you want strong range without having to think about your scooter slowly drinking the battery while it sleeps, the ES60 feels less temperamental.
Portability & Practicality
Let's rip off the plaster: neither of these is "portable" in any sane sense of the word. They both hover around the magical "I regret this halfway up the first staircase" mass. You roll them, you don't carry them.
The ES60's folding mechanism is straightforward and reasonably fast. Drop the stem, wrestle the bulk into a car boot or against a wall, and you're done. The folded package is long and hefty, but reasonably flat; it'll fit into bigger car boots and along a hallway wall. Where the ES60 wins a clear practicality point is the removable battery. If you store the scooter in a shed, garage, or bike room with no socket, you just carry the battery indoors. It's not feather-light either, but far easier than dragging nearly forty kilos of scooter up your front steps.
The SR10 uses that older collar-clamp style fold. It's strong when set up correctly, but not exactly a "one-hand, one-second" operation. Once folded, the stem doesn't lock to the deck, so lifting it by the bars is awkward and borderline comedic. You end up in a kind of bear-hug carry that does nothing for your back or your dignity. If you ever need to haul it into a van or up even a few stairs, you'll be very aware of where all those euros went: into metal.
Day-to-day, both are far more practical as "park once at each end" vehicles than as part of a multi-modal commute. Roll them out of your flat, take the lift if you value your spine, and treat them like motorbikes: lock them somewhere sensible, don't expect to casually shoulder them onto a tram.
In short, practicality is heavily biased towards riders with ground-floor access, garages, lifts, or very forgiving staircases. Between the two, the ES60's removable battery and slightly tidier folded stance make it marginally less of a pain to live with. The SR10 counters only with a smaller overall footprint once folded, but the non-locking stem undo most of that advantage.
Safety
Both scooters take braking seriously, and they need to. You are dealing with small wheels and bicycle-level contact patches at speeds that are nudging moped territory.
On the ES60, the combination of hydraulic discs and electronic anti-lock system gives a smooth, strong stop with good modulation. Lever feel is light and progressive; one finger is enough in most situations. The big tyres and well-sorted suspension help keep the scooter composed under hard braking - you feel weight transfer, but not panic.
The SR10's Zoom hydraulics are similarly capable, with a slightly firmer character that matches its more aggressive acceleration. Add in motor braking and you can haul it down from silly speeds without drama, provided the surface is decent. Panic-grab a handful of front brake on dusty tarmac and physics will still have its say, but that's true of any scooter at this level.
Lighting on the ES60 is genuinely good for visibility. The main headlamp throws a usable beam at speed, and the stem/deck LEDs make you very hard to miss from the sides. Turn signals are a nice touch and reasonably visible. It's definitely more "look at me" than subtle, but from a safety standpoint, being seen is not a bad thing.
The SR10's lighting is more "Christmas tree" than curated, but functional. The headlight does its job, the deck lighting helps with side visibility, and integrated turn signals are there - though being low on the deck, they're not always in the best line of sight for taller vehicles. I'd still add a high-mounted helmet or bar light for serious night work.
In terms of chassis stability, the ES60's larger tyres and softer suspension give a slightly more forgiving ride over mid-corner bumps. The SR10 feels very planted thanks to its weight and long wheelbase, but you're riding closer to the edge on those smaller wheels, especially on poor surfaces. A steering damper wouldn't be wasted money on either if you regularly flirt with top speed.
Overall, both give you a proper toolkit for riding fast safely - good brakes, decent lights, solid frames. The ES60 leans more into visibility and comfort-aided stability; the SR10 leans into brutal stopping power and a heavy, planted stance, at the cost of a bit more harshness when things get bumpy.

Price & Value
Both scooters exist because traditional brands left a big value gap in the market. They cram high-voltage systems, big batteries and dual motors into price brackets that used to buy you a warmed-over commuter with delusions of grandeur.
The ES60 sits slightly higher in price, but justifies a fair bit of that with the removable battery system, more sophisticated suspension, extensive lighting and generally more comfort-oriented hardware. If you look at what established brands charge for something with similar ride quality and dual-motor grunt, the ES60 still looks aggressive on price - especially if your priority is comfort and "big scooter" feeling rather than absolute spec sheet dominance.
The SR10 undercuts it and then throws a larger battery and higher peak power into the mix. Purely as a pile of components - big pack, powerful motors, hydraulic brakes, tubeless tyres - it's frankly absurd value. The catch is that you're clearly not paying for polishing: QC, small hardware, grips, clamp refinement, standby power logic... all remind you why the sticker price is so low.
If you're the kind of rider who sees a scooter as a project - something you'll tweak, tighten and improve - the SR10 gives you a bigger performance canvas for less money. If you'd rather pay a bit more for a scooter that feels slightly more coherent and comfort-focussed out of the box, the ES60 tries to earn its premium that way.
Service & Parts Availability
Neither of these brands is famous for Western-style dealer networks and five-star after-sales pampering. Your buying experience will depend heavily on which reseller you choose, and whether they're actually responsive when something goes wrong.
On the ES60 side, I've seen both ends of the spectrum: some European resellers handling issues quickly with spare parts, others vanishing into email limbo the moment you mention warranty. The good news is that much of the ES60 is built from reasonably generic components - standard-style hydraulics, common tyre sizes, generic controllers - so a competent PEV shop or DIY rider can keep it going.
LAOTIE is fairly notorious for the "high specs, low support" model. You're essentially buying factory-direct via big online platforms. Don't expect local service centres. The flip side, again, is that it uses very standard components that the broader scooter scene knows well. There's a healthy modding and repair community for the SR10's family of frames, and you can source most parts - or better upgrades - without too much drama if you know where to look.
In both cases, assume you'll be your own first-line mechanic. If that idea horrifies you, you might be better served by spending more on a brand with actual local dealers, even if the spec sheet looks anaemic by comparison.

Final Verdict - Which Should You Choose?
Living with both, the pattern is pretty clear: the IENYRID ES60 is the more comfortable, "sorted-feeling" ride; the LAOTIE SR10 is the more ridiculous value-for-money cannonball.
If your idea of a good scooter day is gliding through ugly city tarmac, hopping onto the odd gravel path and finishing your commute without your knees filing a complaint, the ES60 is the more civilised choice. Its big tyres, plush suspension, and removable battery make it much easier to live with as a daily vehicle, especially if you store it away from a plug socket. It still hauls hard when you want it to, but it doesn't constantly shout about it.
If, however, you want the most speed, range and sheer silliness that sub-1.000 € can buy, the SR10 is hard to ignore. It hits harder, goes further, and delivers that "how is this legal at this price?" feeling every time you bury the throttle. You just have to accept that you're also signing up to be part-time mechanic and power-management officer: bolt checks, grease, and keeping an eye on that standby drain are part of the deal.
For most riders who want a fast, capable, but still reasonably civilised daily machine, I'd lean towards the ES60. For the budget thrill-seekers and heavier riders chasing the biggest numbers and longest blasts, the SR10 is the unapologetic hooligan that will keep you entertained - as long as you're willing to put the work in.

Totals: IENYRID ES60 scores 29, LAOTIE SR10 scores 26.
Based on the scoring, the IENYRID ES60 is our overall winner. Between these two overachievers, the LAOTIE SR10 wins on cold, hard performance and value - it simply gives you more sheer madness for every euro you spend, as long as you're willing to babysit it a bit. The IENYRID ES60 counters with a calmer, more comfortable and more liveable experience that still feels properly quick, and that counts for a lot when you're actually riding every day rather than bragging in a spec-war thread. If I had to live with just one as my daily "almost-a-motorbike", I'd personally lean towards the ES60 for its comfort and calmer temperament - but if your heart beats faster at the thought of full-throttle pulls and you don't mind a little grease under your nails, the SR10 is the one that will keep you laughing longest.
That's our verdict when we try to stay objective – but hey, riding is mostly about emotions anyway, so pick the one that will make you look forward to your commute every single day.
