I bought it a few days ago. Took it around my neighborhood, and now I'm currently at work waiting to go home with it. I can't tell you a long term review, but as for these times it's actually a nice one, I don't know why people say it's just "decent", especially if you are just getting started. If someone says that 25km/h is slow, it means they drive recklessly. These are not safe devices. I like the app too, it's very cool to see how much gas you saved and other statistics.
Yes. Briefly owning it, I found it was great on the flatsbut struggled on hills. It couldn’t climb many of them at all. If your area is flat then you should be fine with it. The mileage is a bit overrated if using S mode, which is recommended. Finally, there were some throttle response issues on mine. Sometimes it wouldn’t engage even after hitting the minimum speed.
My takeaway is to try it and if it doesn’t meet your needs, then consider if an upgrade makes sense. But there aren’t many competing models at that price point that will perform better.
I have one and I like it as a starter model. I appreciate the solid wheels (flat free) and that there is some shock absorption. In time, I’ll probably upgrade, but it’s very enjoyable for now. I do wish it had a bit more power for hills, but the speed limit is not an issue for me right now.
The only advantage of this scooter is that it is very compact. But all other technical characteristics do not differ from scooters of the average price category. In addition, it is quite expensive for the same average price category. The weight is 16.2 kg, so it's not even light. You need a compact scooter when traveling, not a compact scooter for storage. And the main problem with any device with moving parts is the breakdown of these very moving parts. The more moving parts there are in the device, the more often it will break. This additional folding mechanism will cause a lot of problems. You will also have to put your feet to the left and right of the frame to ride this scooter. This is not only unsafe, but also not comfortable. The natural position of the legs when riding is when one foot is in front and the other is behind, it is safe and comfortable.
In fact, all scooters with a standard handlebar height are much more comfortable to drive for people of low stature, as it is more physically comfortable when the handlebar is in the chest area, rather than in the waist area.
Almost all new scooter models weigh more than 15 kg (rather more than 16 kg). If the main thing for you is weight, not shock absorption, range, maximum speed, and all that modern scooters offer. It is worth paying attention to the old models of scooters. Xiaomi m365/1s/pro, Ninebot f25/f45/f2/e2. These are excellent scooters, lightweight and reliable, and they are quite inexpensive.
