The best rolling stock I have invested in, in years. Fairly light and both fit easily in the back of the truck in between Marina gigs.
Update:
The original sealed lead acid batteries basically gave up at 25 Cycles. Not untypical for lead acid junk. Popped on Amazon bought three 12.8 volt 6 amp hour Jita batteries for $90 and one 42 volt fushield lithium charger with the exact xlr plug for $20. Installed 6 push on terminals and increased the length of one wire. Duct-taped the batteries together in a bundle and set them in below the board with a cardboard sheet in between to hold them in place. I have been running these batteries for 4 months now. With these batteries I can get a full 6 ahr in reality not just 3 ahr available from the 6 ahr lead acid. Better voltage better speed more range for $120. A must-do if using it everyday. As far as water resistance goes. It rains a lot here and I have to use this in the rain all the time. I avoid running it through puddles but have not noticed any issue with getting soaked other than the low battery light becomes erratic. Which doesn't matter because the lithium batteries never run low enough to operate it before being empty anyway. There are small drains in the battery control tray so you cannot submerge the unit but it does appear to operate in rain without issue. I have seen people covering the throttle control with a plastic bag but I've never done it.
I am running docks all day, ride it to lunch and sometimes hitch up the trailer and use it to run up to the supermarket for my weekly shopping.
I do plug it in every night as I can put some miles on it and tow a heavy trailer. Only time it let me down was when I forgot to plug it in for 2 days
My credentials:
I have been a commercial equipment and marine systems technical specialist for nearly 40 years, and also an electric car and motor cycle owner for 5+ years, so I have an experienced EV grin.
I waited before I wrote this review to give it a good honest shakedown opinion. My update was added almost six months after purchase.
Please:
Make sure you do not use this before checking all hardware for tightness. Electric plug brake action is Extreme and will lock up the rear wheel. Even if this was regenerative braking it it couldn't produce much of anything if it stops the wheel. I did discover recently if the switch on the brake lever is unplugged under the footboard it runs on the brake band Only and does not lock up the tire. Brake action is reduced however more gradual and predictable.
Pro's:
Wide strong foot board and frame.
Predictable smooth speed control.
Plenty of power, even up dock ramps with trailer.
Tall 16's with smoother ride.
Kick stand.
Almost half the price of segway. With the special packaging offer on black model.
Cons:
Non folding handlebars.
Have to install shields or no flat inserts to avoid a nasty flat tire.
Harsh braking.
Sealed lead acid versus lithium.
Twice the weight of segway.
