I purchased this scooter for daily commute. It’s a great price, but you get what you paid for. After several months of use, it’s paid itself off in not having to buy gas, but it does come with some caveats.
Safety - It’s really hard to get used to if you use the scooters for rent in your city because this one zips around and brakes FAST. I also feel like helmets are needed for this scooter. The first week after purchase, the wheel got stuck in the sidewalk cracks and I bruised my ankle pretty bad, so now I take the street when there are ridges in the sidewalk. It’s also really bad on uneven ground and bumps, so you need to know your route well. Because it breaks so fast, I’ve learned to pump the breaks or lean my weight backward so I don’t fall forward. I definitely would not recommend this scooter for tall adults or anyone who weighs over 170lb. It’s just too small and rickety and I’d worry about someone seriously injuring themselves; however, as someone that’s on the average to shorter side, it’s great and zips around the way you’d need to in city traffic. I saw in some reviews that parents have been purchasing for kids, but it just doesn’t feel safe enough in my opinion.
Battery - It doesn't go as long as advertised and I end up having to charge between every other trip. I’d say it only lasts 3-4 miles at most on top speed.
Speed - Perfect for city commutes on top speed. You don’t really need to go faster than 15mph. Low speed functions seem pointless and not necessary in my opinion.
Weight - Easy to carry and collapses simple enough. Clasp does not lock; however, so you have to be mindful when carrying.
App feature - Didn’t connect and customer service never responded.
Overall - I’d purchase this again! It’s not the best, but perfect if you’re a small adult looking for daily use. It locks up in a bike rack well, but it’s cheap enough that you don’t need to worry about it getting stolen. If I didn’t need my car for my pets, I’d honestly ditch it because I love this scooter so much. If you’re looking to go down to a one car household, or save money on public transit, this is your best bet. A great starter scooter!
