Score
There are many options to choose from but what makes this a good deal is the price to power ratio. If you're just looking for a good starter scooter I would give this a shot, just don't expect speedy customer service if you have an issue.
PROS
- The build quality is surprising good, it feels very sturdy and because of the tires it absorbs uneven terrain very well.
- It's fast, for my size (175 pounds (79.38 kg)), it gets up hills (that aren't to steep).
- It has tall handle bars, I'm 6'2" (187.96 cm) and I feel comfortable riding it.
CONS
- You can't see the LCD on a sunny day
- Your power will greatly diminish once you've reached less than 25% battery life
- Stopping on a downhill can be a bit scary.
