I had been looking for an electric scooter for 6 months. I really did my research and finally bought this brand on Amazon day when it was on sale because I liked the sleek design and the good reviews. I’m so glad I did! It's perfect for me! I’m 5’4, 130lbs, just to give you an idea for how size effects battery life (I’ve seen other reviewers commenting on battery not lasting as long if you are taller/heavier).
Here’s what I use it for: I commute 2 miles to the train station (no hills). I cut through the mall parking lot so I feel safer on the road. Where I live, electric scooters are banned from sidewalks. Beware that because electric scooters are so new to the road, not every driver will look out for you! I have had a few near scares. If side walk scooting is also banned where you live, you will need to obey the rules of the road. Stop at stop lights and stop signs. Be safe! Where a helmet and assume that people do not see you. I’ve assumed that a driver saw me, because it was my turn to cross and they did not.
This scooter folds so quickly and easily, which is great for climbing up the stairs to the train. Once I’m in the city, I scoot about 5 blocks to work. In the city, it’s easy to scoot along the roads. I can cut my way through a long red light, which cuts down on the commute. Also I don’t have to deal with parking which has been a game changer! I hate parking garages because they get backed up with people trying to get in and out and it’s so expensive! It’s soooo nice to immediately get off the road, walk on the sidewalk to my office door and ride the elevator up. DONE! It’s amazing!
When I first got the scooter, I charged it for a full day before use. I used it for 3 days before the battery was almost used up. I didn’t let it die, but it had one bar left. I don't have a long commute so I'm not using the battery that much. Also, when I'm on the train I turn the scooter off. There are also no hills on my commute so I don't know how it does on the hills.
Overall, it's great! It makes my commute so much more enjoyable than sitting in traffic. The only thing that worries me is the power button sometimes gets stuck and it keeps going! This is bad if you need to stop! But I just pull the trigger up so it doesn't jam.
The app is very confusing and I wish I knew how to work it so I can keep track of my miles and stats. It keeps saying I need to sign up, even though I have.
