FINAL UPDATE 12/17/2024: All I have to say at this point, is if you take care of this scooter, it takes care of you. I learned how to get my hands dirty doing basic repairs, maintenance, etc. and this scooter keeps scooting on. The only thing I wish was better about this scooter is the battery. If the battery was longer lasting, this scooter would be an amazing competitor to commuter scooting. Also inclines really kill speed and eats up battery really fast. Personally I'm saving up for a fat tire e-bike with a better battery and faster speeds, hill climbing ability, etc. as I live in a place where fat tires thrive. Despite this scooter having a somewhat fat tire, it's not fat enough for the best traction. Hope my reviews and updates have informed you guys enough to decide whether or not this scooter is best for you.Flat tire/wiring experience update:It happens to the best of us. A small piece of glass penetrated my tire, into the inner tube and caused a flat. If there's one majorly bad thing with Gotrax, is a lack of footage covering basic repairs on a lot of their scooter models, so I had to learn how to take the rear wheel off myself to patch the inner tube. Taking the wheel off was a pretty straight forward process. Remove some screws, nuts, unplug power wire, etc. and the wheel comes off easily (you'll need an adjustable or socket wrench about 18mm, an Allen wrench set, and screw driver) . The tire however was a nightmare to take off as it was really tough. Fast forward after I patch the tube and assemble the wheel back, I try to ride but the power wire yanked and plugged out a yellow, green and blue cord inside the battery storage. This caused the wheels to stop responding, but the solution was to simply open the battery storage underneath the scooter, plug the colored cords into the matching slot, and viola the scooter is fixed.The whole experience was extremely frustrating because of the lack of resources to assist in basic repairs, but it is pretty simple once you know what you're doing.2 month update:I ride this thing 8 miles total per day, 5 days a week. I’ve racked up approximately 320 miles total so far, and it’s still holding up well. The only recurring issue is the throttle. It seems while I’m riding in neighborhoods where I have to stop at stop signs often, the throttle will have an issue that slows down the scooter’s speed. This is typically an easy fix if you stop for a few seconds and restart the scooter. But to avoid this issue I’ve adapted my riding style in neighborhoods by switching from 20mph mode to 15, which seems to have mostly fixed the issue. Overall, after two months and hundreds of miles, I’d say this is a great buy for casual riding. Even on my bad days, it’s always fun riding on the scooter and even something to look forward to. Great casual scooter.Original review:Let me start off by saying that I’m 6’2 and about 250-260 pounds give or take.This scooter holds me up quite well, much better than I expected. My size only becomes an issue going up inclines. I can tolerate the speed drop off from light to moderate inclines, otherwise I just hop off and walk up until the roads are more leveled. On flat roads I can go up to 20 mph.Battery life seems to be doing great so far, but I’ve only ridden about 14 miles total so far. I’ll have to update later on as the battery ages, but it charges reasonably quick.The scooter performs smoothly, and quietly, just try to avoid pot holes and large cracks in the street. Also try to avoid any sharp objects that may be on the road.If anybody is wondering how it rides in the rain, well I can say it holds up much better than expected. The wheels keep their traction very well and I didn’t experience any slipping or sliding, but try to avoid if possible.I’d say so far, this scooter has exceeded my expectations for commuting to work. Eventually I’ll take it out for grocery trips when I get good locks. I’ve read that u-locks along with thick chain locks from kryptonite brand is the way to go. The more locks you put on this thing, the better. Get sensor alarms too. Get anything that deters and prevents theft. I’m personally gonna get a few different chains and u-locks, disc locks, etc. You can never be too safe.For only 500 smackers, this has shown to have great bang for your buck as far as commuting in a city goes. My destinations are never too far to worry about battery life. When I ride it to work, I bring it inside my post and top off the charge to prepare it for the next ride.Do not let the battery fully die, you’ll wanna charge it while it’s at least at one bar life left.One accessory I recommend getting is a bicycle turn signal, it feels sketch trying to hand-signal and only having one hand on the handlebars.Oh and the rear basket is a neat addition, although I do want something slightly bigger.Anyways, as far as my impressions currently stand I’d recommend this to anybody in a city. I was exclusively walking and bussing before I got this scooter, so it feels nice not having to get on my feet every day for a simple commute to work or the grocery store.
