Great commuting scooter for any age!
2 week update:
I’ve put almost 100 miles on the scooter and I have some more info.
I’ve carried a lot of weight in groceries in Costco reusable bags on the handlebars. Literally about 30+ pounds. If you get the weight centered it won’t effect your steering.
My biggest annoyance to date is the speed restriction around 80%. The speed maxes out around 16 instead. It doesn’t sound like much but you can feel it. I wish you could turn that off and just use the extra battery. I have to charge it every single day even if I only go 4 or 5 miles because of this. I hate the effect on the battery and wish I could maintain top speed all the way to 0%.
I’ve taken this everywhere in lieu of a car. I even rode it to the movie theater and had it in front of my seat to see Star Wars.
I don’t mind going 6 or 7 miles one direction at all (12-14 round trip). It’s fast and responsive. I have my regenerative brake set to the max so it helps stop the scooter and it keeps me from having to use the hand brake much at all.
Be careful with cars since people don’t pay attention and going 18 mph puts you at a lot of risk since people don’t expect you to be going that fast.
I absolutely love this scooter and just think some minor improvements would make it even better. Luckily, software updates could fix the speed restriction if they’d let it.
So far, I’m totally loving this scooter! There are tons of good things about it. I bought it to travel around the city and to keep from having to buy another car with all its costs. I will be driving this 1 mile to and from work everyday, to the grocery stores, and to events/friends.
I will give an initial list of things I like and I’ll add to this review in a week or so.
Pros:
Great range!
Great acceleration/speed without being dangerous
Great stability
Tires absorb a lot of the road impact
Good grip in rain
Lots of space for feet
Headlamp works well for night
So easy to use
It carried my weight (about 180 lbs) plus my laundry and 64 ounce full water bottle in bags on the handlebars while I drove home from doing laundry. Still maintained 16 mph without any problems or lack of control.
The charge is nice and fast. Love that.
Love that it doesn’t require you to carry a brick to charge. Only the cable since it’s integrated inside.
Cons:
The secondary locking mechanism For the stem is actually really thin cheap plastic. I broke it the first time I tried to lower the stem and forgot about turning it. It’s a good thing it didn’t do much, but it’s so low quality for the solidness of the rest of the scooter
The rear light is so low and small that it’s basically pointless.
