Losing my licence for three months was a pretty frustrating experience. As someone who spends most of his working week driving around Melbourne meeting clients, I was genuinely concerned about how much it would impact both my business and my day-to-day life.
After a bit of research, I ended up at The Simple Commute, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision. The team were fantastic to deal with from the very beginning. No pressure, no nonsense, just good advice and a genuine willingness to help me find the right solution.
I ended up purchasing a Kaiju scooter and, to be honest, it has completely exceeded my expectations. What was supposed to be a temporary replacement for my car has become something I genuinely enjoy using. It’s powerful, comfortable, handles rough paths and trails with ease, and has proven to be incredibly practical for getting around Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Over the past few days I’ve already covered a huge amount of ground on it, and it’s given me the confidence that the next three months are going to be far easier than I originally thought.
A big thank you to the team at The Simple Commute for their help, advice and service. I can highly recommend both the Kaiju and the awesome people at The Simple Commute.
Received my scooter in good time, especially for WA. The scooter had a small issue which the team were very quick and helpful to get a solution sorted. Very happy.
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW
This is my first electric scooter & I did my research before purchasing.
The communication via email was amazing as to how quickly The Simple Commute responded, answered all my queries and recommended the Astro to suit my needs.
I then organised to pick up.
These guys customer service is next level and would highly recommend.
Been riding the Astro everyday and love it
Can see myself upgrading in the future and won’t be going anywhere else
Keep up the good work guys!!
This is my first scooting purchase at 60+ , found the crew very informative, scooter received within a week to Tas, looks like quality, charged up and had a couple of rides, really pleased so far
Thanks so much Richard! We’re really glad your first scooter experience has been a good one. Welcome to the scooter life mate, and ride safe!
I am very impressed with it. I live in the country and The Kaiju handles our rough tracks with ease and is built nice and strong for the task. Even the strength and thickness of the tyres surprised me. Family love it also! Well done guys!!
Thanks so much! It’s great to hear the Kaiju is making light work of those rough country tracks. The Kaiju is built tough for exactly this kind of riding, so we’re glad the strong frame and chunky tyres have impressed you. Even better that the whole family loves it too, happy riding!
Well uve done it guys! I was wary and did my homework, was never a scooter fan before but now...Whoohoo, im sold this thing is a total rippa, full control, comfort and go next to anywhere grunt and performance, very impressed so far and I haven't had it fully unlocked yet lol 😅🤣
Haha, love this! Thanks for giving us a go and doing your homework first. Great to hear the scooter has completely won you over with its comfort, control and serious grunt. And you haven’t even fully unlocked it yet… the fun’s only just beginning 😅 Enjoy the ride legend!
I’ve bought this scooter from them and their after-service is why I would choose to buy from them again.
Hi Mandy, we're so glad to hear you're happy with your scooter and our service! Thank you for your kind words and for choosing The Simple Commute. We look forward to serving you again!
I needed a scooter to commute to work, and I hate buying cheap, unsafe crap. I spent hours upon hours researching e-scooters which must have caused the ads for TSC to come up on my feed.
I spent a few more days reading reviews, comparing models and specs before deciding that the Aurora was best for my work commute needs. I was impressed with the availability of spare parts, the strong focus on delivering quality, and the lack of bullshit. That many 5 star reviews can’t be wrong.
Blowing over a thousand bucks on a purchase is always nerve wracking, so I tested their WhatsApp response to see ask how long it would take to arrive. I got a response within minutes, which calmed my nerves significantly. Better yet, my order was delivered within 3 working days. Amazing. A week after I received my Aurora, they were still responding to my queries within minutes.
I did a test drive, worked out the speed settings, tightened things up, customised my settings, and started using it for work. I’m 105KG and 5’11”. The handlebar height was perfect for me and there were no issues with the power or suspension. The ride is smooth, comfortable and my thumb is thankful for the cruise control. Travelled 6km to work and back, and the battery bar was still full.
The Aurora is just a well thought out, well built, no nonsense and, best of all, street legal e-scooter. It even looks classy enough that cyclists don’t give me sour looks. I am confident that TSC is a company that is going to go the distance and I can’t wait to pass down my Aurora to my kids one day so that I can continue supporting this Aussie business.
Hi Nagaraj, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that the Aurora has met all your commute needs and that our team’s support made a difference. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to being part of your journeys for years to come. Enjoy your rides!
This is my favorite scooter. It hasn't been perfect, I've had a couple of break downs, but even still, the customer support here has been excellent. Enough to get me back on the road when I had mechanical issues. Regrettable, mine was stolen tonight on the Gold Coast, so if someone is trying to sell a Kaiju in my city. Check to see if it isn't stolen first. I'm hopeful to buy another one but will increase my security measures on it.
We're genuinely sorry to hear that. Absolutely sucks, especially when it’s a scooter you actually love riding.
Really appreciate the kind words about our support too. We know things aren’t always perfect, but we’ll always do our best to get our riders back on the road when something goes wrong.
And if you do end up needing a replacement, reach out to us. We’ll help you out with the best option we can, plus some stronger security gear this time so the next thief has a much worse night.
Shes mean, brake disk is loose and suspension needs to be played with an adjustable height for the bars would be nice aswell for the price other than that absolutely does the job
Thanks heaps for the honest feedback! Glad to hear she’s doing the job properly 🙌
For the brake disc, it may just need a slight caliper adjustment, which normally solves the issue pretty quickly if it’s rubbing or feeling loose. The suspension can also be adjusted, so definitely get in touch with us and we’ll help you sort it out.
The reason a lot of higher-end performance scooters don’t use adjustable handlebars is strength and stability. Adjustable stems usually add extra moving parts, clamps, and joints, which can create more flex, rattling, or wear over time, especially on heavier off-road scooters.
For something like the Kaiju, we chose a stronger fixed-height setup because it’s built for rougher tracks, higher loads, and long-term durability. Less adjustment means fewer weak points, which matters a lot once you’re riding on gravel, dirt, bumps, or farm tracks.
That said, we definitely understand adjustable height would be handy for different riders, so it’s feedback we’ll keep in mind for future models.
The absolute best
Legend! Appreciate that heaps!
Got my Kaiju with in 5 days of ordering it was so impressed with it and customer service is A1
Love hearing this! Glad the Kaiju landed quickly and you’re impressed with it 🙌 Appreciate the support heaps, we’ll always do our best to keep the service A1。
I bought this to use around the farm. It is silent for checking livestock, it handles the dirt tracks easily. Due to a accident I can't sit on a bike or in a ute, so standing on the scooter has helped me get around.
Customer service has been awesome when asking questions as there hasn'tbeen any problems. Delivery to regional NSW was very fast. This scooter is very solid and well build. I give this 5 stars👍
cheers Phil
Thanks heaps Phil, this is exactly what the Kaiju was built for 🙌 Silent, solid, and handy around the farm without needing to fire up the ute every time. Stoked to hear it’s helping you get around after the accident too. Really appreciate the support and the 5 stars!
Had a few weeks great everywhere sturdy and goes well, customer service is best very fast and help with everything
Fantastic scooter. Handles the hills on my rides without skipping a beat. Highly recommended for either commuting or fun
Absolutely loving the Kaiju so far. Living out regional way, it’s become part of the daily routine. Whether I’m cruising through paddocks, checking fences, or taking the scenic route around the property after work, this thing handles everything with ease. Sand, loose gravel, rough tracks and hills are no drama at all with the dual motors.
One of the best parts is being able to stop and take in the views while riding around the farm, especially during sunset. It’s honestly turned boring equipment runs into something fun. Solid build, heaps of power, and an absolute weapon off road.
This is exactly what we love hearing 🙌 The Kaiju was built for this kind of real-world use, not just smooth footpaths and cafe runs. Paddocks, gravel, hills, sunset laps around the property… absolute weapon territory. Thanks heaps for the support Rex, and stoked it’s become part of the daily routine!
After 1 week of owning my new KAIJU All-terrain E-Scooter, doing local errands, I’ve come to the following conclusions of this no-frills beast:
1- The larger frame allows a greater degree of stability and sturdiness.
2- Easy balancing dynamics owing to the wide tubeless tyres and adjustable suspension system.
3- Hill inclines are achieved with amazing ease and hill descents are easily regulated by the super-responsive disc brakes.
4- The removable battery allows it to be charged independently in a safe surrounding environment.
5- The absence of unnecessary “Bling” and pizazz contributes to extended intervals between battery charges.
This scooter is of raw simplicity and sturdy construction, making the investment more viable.
I’ve saved on quite a bit of diesel fuel usage with much more to come.
Remember, less is more, you get what you pay for, and long after the price is forgotten, the quality remains.
Wayne.
Love this Wayne, what a review
You’ve pretty much nailed exactly what we wanted the KAIJU to be. No gimmicks, no flashy nonsense, just a properly built all terrain machine that’s comfortable, capable and reliable in the real world.
The removable battery, chunky tubeless tyres and adjustable suspension really do make a huge difference for everyday usability, especially around hills and rough terrain. And hearing you’re already saving on diesel while actually enjoying the ride makes it even better 😄
Really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review mate. Means a lot supporting a local Aussie brand like ours.
For a bigger guy like myself it felt so stable and comfortable for my feet to fit side by side or front to back
Great product
Love that!
That extra deck space makes a big difference hey, stoked it’s feeling stable and comfortable for you, that’s exactly what we aim for.
Appreciate the feedback legend, enjoy the ride.
We purchased the duo pack, communication was great, product is good quality, we have given them a fair workout already. So fun
Appreciate the support heaps Emma
The guys answered the phone when ever I rang they were very understanding as I'd clicked the wrong purchase method (for me) and they immediately refunded me allowing me to then purchase the Kaiju with a method of payment that suited me. I will be a repeat customer with these guys no problem there !! Thanks again appreciate your help and can't wait to take delivery of mt new commute !! 😀
So here’s a personal experience with TSC of my own. I ordered the Kaiju and super impressed with it. Easy to ride and very capable off road. TSC was so easy to deal with and will get my business again when buy a scooter for my wife very soon. Only downside is my son has a Segway ZT3 pro and I get stuck having to ride his scooter because he’s taken off on my Kaiju😂
First time riding found it nice and sturdy going up a road incline was great seems like a good ride.
Love that first ride feeling.
Glad to hear it’s feeling solid and handling the inclines with ease, that’s exactly what it’s built for. Nice and stable, plenty of power when you need it.
