I've been in the market for about a year before purchasing, and I've done all the research. I've watched almost every video available, been to all the websites, put together my own notes, and harassed multiple AI engines with a bunch of comparison between other e-scooters. You will not get anything close to this performance for under $800.
I'm 5'6, 220lbs, and come from a motorcycle and ATV background. My commute to work is 7 miles round trip, and it's fairly hilly in this area of Pennsylvania. According to Google Maps GPS, I'm usually riding around 25mph, and my fastest has been 30mph (going downhill off the throttle). I only ride in Mode 3. Range is hard to determine considering the conditions I ride in, but I usually go back and forth to work twice before charging overnight. I'll still have around 25% juice left, but I dont want to completely deplete the battery, or get stuck walking. I'd hypothesize that I'm getting roughly 25 miles before the battery is below 10%. If I ever do a full drainage ride, I'll update this review to give the results.
The ride is good, but maybe not as "springy" as some would desire. I ride mainly on finished streets, a few sidewalks, and the occasional light offroads. The springs are fine for these conditions. I've also jumped curbs, done wheelies, and some rougher trail riding. It holds up. I've never used the seat, but from what I've seen and heard it seems like a good addition for anyone wanting to sit.
