Seems to be a good deal for that price. Watched a couple of reviews on youtube a while ago... seems to be OK. nothing special. But, they also seem to have problems here and then...

I see the problems and suggest the solutions: The battery can get lose inside the footboard. \-> Solution: try to avoid bumpy roads, don't do too much offroad. And you'll be fine. If it happens anyway, you can fix it by open the footboard and fix the support or improve it. Range deminish. \-> Solution: hold the battery's level between 30% - 70% (or max. 20% - 80% if you need it). This will delay the aging of battery and let your scooter live longer. Insufficient spotlights. \-> Solution: Buy a bicycle light running on batteries. Doesn't cost much.

Exactly. I've owned and rode an isinwheel. Its not good. A kqui1 base model NIU or the base ninebot is the way to go.

Isinwheel makes decent cheap scooters- I have three but the welds gave way on one but they say they've fixed the problem

A better brand than this or Roinside, and better, solid specs, could be worth $400 without suspension, especially with air tires (tubeless or split rim, or even air front only since the back is more likely to have problems). If you can only spend $400, look at isinwheel or Freeboy, avoid iscooter lots of bad press. Or a less exciting Segway or Niu to play it safe. $250 yeah maybe Roinside.

This- I bought an Isinwheel direct from their website and it came broken. They wouldn’t help me. If I bought from Amazon it would have saved me $900.
