Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update 20 months later: Very Happy! Still rides as fast, as long, and as strong since day 1. I've only had to put air in the front tire 2 or 3 times in 20 months of owning; no other maintenance needed. :) Review based upon 1 day of use: It assembled quite easy needing only to connect the handle-bar shaft to the main frame (they give you the tool); tighten it good, but don't over tighten because the clamp is made out of aluminum, and I've seen aluminum threads strip easy from other devices.The battery did indeed need a full 12 hours of charge before the charger's LED turned from Red to Green; however, it ended up charging for about about 20 hours before my 8 year old daughter first rode it. Ready to ride: BE CAREFUL !! My daughter obviously couldn't wait to ride it, so on the driveway which is sloped downward she began to kick off, turned the grip, and she almost ended up out in the street. Have your child in an open space without cars around until they get use to it, please. We went to a nearby park which has a track around a small lake. She kicked it up to ~3mph, turned the grip, and off she went with me riding my bicycle next to her. The little E100 keeps a decent pace for it's size. We rode about 15 minutes, and then came back home and put it back on the charger just to keep the charge up for a later ride. After 2 hours the charger's LED was Green. We took it out again, and this time for about 25 minutes. There were no problems, and no indication the batteries were dying. I feel bad for the 10% bad reviews of children who's scooters had problems. Ignore the stupid review: "My daughter hate it !!!! you have to do until 3mph start the electric motor !!!!! and I did not see anything telling about this when I decided to buy !!!!". I mean come on... I find that getting it up to 3mph before the motor engages is a very nice safety feature for a beginning rider of powered vehicles. Once it gets going, it goes, and it's fun !!!
