12"/14"/16" Electric Scooter with Seat for Adults&Teens, Max 25Miles

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.

I live in a retirement village in Pennsylvania, USA. The place is kind of spread out and I was using my car for trips less then a mile to go to different activities. About 6 months ago, our village maintenance department purchased 3 Gotrax Flex Ultras, for maintenance personnel to get around. They claim they like them and have not had any problems. So, a couple of weeks ago, I purchased a Gotrax Flex Ultra to get around and save my car from riding short distances. It arrived in a few days. Assembly was easy. You take it out of the box (yes, it’s heavy), snap the handlebars in place and slide the saddle in place. Everything good so far. When I tried to use the scooter, it would not move, but came up with an E6 error on the display. Next I wrote up the issue on the Gotrax web site. There is an area to describe the problem, based on where you bought it. I had purchased mine through Amazon. The following day I received an email from a person named “Honey” in the Gotrax support group. Honey asked me to send her a video, documenting the issue, as well as a copy of the invoice, which I did (see attached video). Gmail does not allow file attachments larger then 25MB, and the video was larger. I copied the video into my Google Drive, which is part of my email account and sent the link to Honey. Following day I received an email from Honey that the problem is most likely caused by a faulty Controller and she would send me a new one (free of charge). I asked her if she had a video or manual on how to replace the Controller and she sent me a video link the following day, showing it was under the floor board. The new Controller was sent from Texas and arrived in a few days. Immediately I went to work to replace it. Turned the scooter upside down on a saw-horse and started to remove the coves on the bottom, First I had to remove 4 allen screws with a metric allen wrench (also called a ‘setscrew key’) to remove the metal skid plate. Next I removed a number of Philips screws to remove the plastic battery cover. The cavity contained the battery and the aluminum color Controller (see attached pictures). The Controller is held in place by two 3mm metric allen screws. Once loose, I pulled out the controller and swapped wire plugs with the new Controller one by one. Then I reassembled everything in reverse order. The whole thing took less the 2 hours. Set the scooter upright and it works perfectly. In 1st gear it has a top speed of 15.2 mph and 2nd gear it will do 20mph. That is good enough for me. While taking it apart, I had a good look at the scooter construction. It is well built. Also it has a number of safety features, which I assume are built into the Controller. After testing, I did have to make a couple of adjustments. 1. The rear break had to be adjusted tighter. The seat clamp had to be made a little tighter, so the seat shaft would not slide down. That’s it! I am perfectly happy with my purchase. Other then repairing it myself, I could have returned the scooter. Amazon allows a 30 day return for Prime Members and if you bought it from Gotrax direct, they give you 14 days to return. I did not do so, because I did not look forwards to getting that scooter back in the box with all the packing material. Plus, I did not know if the shipper would pick it up from my residence.

Okay, so I got my hands on this Gotrax FLEX ULTRA through the Vine program, and I've been zipping around on it for a bit now. And let me tell you, the "with Seat" part is an absolute game-changer for anyone who's ever considered an electric scooter but dreaded standing for an entire commute or long joyride. My back officially thanks Gotrax. First off, assembly was surprisingly quick and straightforward. You're not spending hours trying to figure out obscure diagrams. Got it put together and charging pretty fast. Now, let's talk about the ride itself. The **seat** makes all the difference. It's comfortable enough for extended periods, and just being able to sit down takes so much pressure off your legs and back. It transforms the experience from a workout to a genuinely relaxed cruise. I actually look forward to using it for quick errands or just getting some fresh air. The **20 MPH speed** feels plenty zippy. It's fast enough to keep up with most urban bike lanes or even short stretches of road without feeling like you're holding up traffic. I'm not looking to break any land speed records, so for practical everyday use, this is a sweet spot. It accelerates smoothly, which is a nice touch. As for the **25-mile range**, I've found it to be pretty accurate, perhaps a little less if you're consistently on full throttle up hills, but that's expected. For my typical daily jaunts – quick trips to the store, visiting a friend a few miles away, or just exploring the neighborhood – I can easily go a couple of days between charges. It's really freed me up from taking the car for those shorter, annoying drives. The overall build quality feels solid. It's not flimsy, and the brakes are responsive and instill confidence. I also appreciate the front and rear lights, which are essential for riding during dawn or dusk. The "FLEX" in the name suggests some portability, and yes, it folds down reasonably well, making it easier to store or throw in the trunk of a car if needed. Who is this for? If you're looking for a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably fast electric scooter for commuting, running errands, or just enjoying some outdoor mobility without the strain of standing, this Gotrax FLEX ULTRA is a really strong contender. It's definitely changed how I view scooters, and I'd absolutely recommend it.

I’m satisfied with the scooter overall, but I had a simple rear tire puncture from a thorn one day. Update: A week later, I experienced a catastrophic failure of the rear tire, which required a full replacement of the tire and tube. Below are the updated text instructions. Simple Tube Patch Job - Fixing Without Removing the Tire or Tube Removing the tube for a simple patch job is easier said than done. Unfortunately, there are no guides, manuals, or videos to assist so this is my attempt to help a bit. If you haven't already bought the Gotrax, well maybe consider a 20" tire scooter version with classic pedals to 'possibly' avoid these repair pains. However, it is possible to work around the issue without taking off the tire, tube, bolts, or wires. I originally bought a set of quality steel tire irons (11.8-inch YTOOS), but piercing the tube was a real concern. To avoid this, I recommend using 3 inexpensive plastic tire irons instead which come with most tube patches. Two key tools that made the process much easier were heat and dish soap. I applied heat to the tire using a simple heater (for 5-10 minutes) to soften the rubber. For lubrication, I found that applying dish soap to the rim (and even to the tools to help push them inside) worked better than soapy water. Honestly, I couldn’t have taken the tire off without using heat or dish soap. Once the rubber softened, it was easy to remove one side of the tire and pull out the tube to locate the puncture. I inflated the tube and located the hole by feeling the air rush out. Alternatively, you can dip the tube in a bucket of water to see bubbles, but be careful not to overinflate it, as there’s limited space to work with. I patched the puncture using inexpensive SLIME patches, which came with cheap levers. The levers worked okay with enough heat, but one broke, so it’s a good idea to buy spares. After patching the tube, I reassembled everything, and the scooter was good to go again. Catastrophic Tire/Tube Replacement - Removing the Tire + Tube (without removing the power cord) You’ll need a tube and tire replacement. Gotrax offers a Loxan 2-Pack 14x2.125 tube replacement for around $14, which is a decent price. However, if you choose a different brand, make sure the tube has a bent air valve. A straight valve will make it very difficult to inflate the tube. There are also tubeless honeycomb tire options available, which are more expensive but may be worth considering. Keep in mind, though, that they are harder to install. You’ll also need an impact wrench. I purchased the GEVEELIFE 550N.m/400Ft-lbs Brushless Impact Wrench (around $60), which includes two 3.0Ah batteries, six sockets, and operates at 2450 RPM. Removing the bolts was easy with this tool, and contrary to some reviews, there’s no glue inside. I tried using a manual wrench, but my arm strength wasn’t sufficient, and I didn’t get a chance to try a drive ratchet. You’ll specifically need an 18mm drive head, which is included. Additionally, you’ll need a set of Hex Keys and a small wrench set. Make sure to take photos or record the process as you remove the bolts, washers, etc. The brake side requires the most attention, as that’s the side where you’ll remove the tire and tube. Remember, you cannot detach the power wire on the other side, so the rim will still be attached to the frame. You’ll need to work around it. I used pliers to cut the two reusable zip ties holding the power wire in place, allowing me to maneuver the tire more easily. There's not much more to say - be careful and pay very close attention to every part you take off, since you're going to need to do it in reverse. Heat, Dishsoap, and two or three plastic levers being used will make life a bit easier. Putting the tire back on is harder than taking it off, you should put dish soap on the rim itself, and the tire. Maybe even on the lever itself, especially in the final 30% stretch. You can even jab on the tire as you hold one side and push it in. One lever at 1'oclock and the other at 12'oclock (2-inches apart) and just keep using all your strength. Good luck.

I’ve been really happy with this scooter so far. I’m a bigger guy weight wise, so I was a little unsure how well it would handle me, but it worked amazingly. It feels solid when riding and does not feel weak or shaky under me. The frame feels sturdy, the deck has a decent amount of room, and the seat is actually pretty comfortable for longer rides around the neighborhood or quick trips nearby. The basket on the back is one of my favorite parts. It is really useful for carrying small stuff like a backpack, groceries, tools, or whatever else you do not want to hold while riding. The seat and basket setup make it feel more practical than a regular standing scooter. It is nice being able to sit down and ride instead of standing the whole time. The power has been better than I expected. It takes off smoothly and has enough pull to get moving without feeling like it is struggling. I would not expect it to act like a motorcycle or anything, but for a scooter like this it has been plenty strong for me. The tires feel stable and the ride is pretty comfortable, even on less perfect pavement. One thing that really surprised me is the battery. I stored it over winter in a small shed and the battery still held up really well. I expected it to be drained or have issues after sitting for a while, but it was still good when I went back to use it. That gave me a lot more confidence in it because batteries can be hit or miss with stuff like this. Setup was not too bad, but like most scooters, you do want to check everything over before riding. Make sure the brakes, handlebar, seat, and bolts are all adjusted and tightened. It is also a little bulky, so it is not something I would want to carry around much. The basket and seat make it more useful, but they also make it take up more space. Overall, this has been a great scooter for me. It feels strong, rides well, and has handled my weight better than I expected. The battery holding up over winter was a big plus too. For someone wanting a seated scooter with some storage and a solid ride, I think this one is a really good pick.

Update: Gotrax never sent me a replacement tire tube, despite telling me they did. After giving me the runaround for several weeks, they told me to purchase tire tubes size (and I am quoting them directly from the email) " 14"x2.5" ". They said they woud reimburse. Fine. I trusted that the information they gave me was accurate, however the tire tubes I got arrived today. They are not the right size. The size listed in this ad for the ASTRO is " 14"x2.125" "; the size they gave me is for a different model. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I haven't been able to use my scooter since July 14th. It is now September 9th. I will have to re-order the right size and again ask them to reimburse me for the cost. Their customer service team is in China so it's not as if I can get this resolved in real time. ------------ Update: my rear tire went flat randomly and i could not pump it up. A month ago GoTrax customer support say they would send me 2 new replacement tires since they are a special kind. I have yet to receive the tires. They cannot give me a tracking number. For several days they keep telling me they’ll check the warehouse. I have mobility issues and can’t drive so this is my backup. I’ve been depressed and not having transportation is adding to all of my other problems making me $uicidal. I just want to replace my tire. They won’t give me a tracking number and have not just re-sent tires to me. I’m extremely angry Update: after charging the scooter all night, the battery only had 3 bars. Right now I don’t feel safe traveling longer than 5 miles unless I’ll be able to charge the battery at my destination. I contacted customer support because it seems to me that the battery is faulty and I would rather have a replacement then to be stranded somewhere in winter with a ~65 lb scooter that doesn’t work. I will update once this is resolved through customer service. I found this scooter while looking for an affordable electric scooter that was equipped with a basket. The package was delivered to the wrong apartment, and considering the box weighs quite a bit, it was a workout to pull it up a set of stairs and over to my apartment. Once I got it inside and opened the box, setup was fairly easy. The handlebars come disconnected but are easy to connect. The only things left to do were add the seat, basket, and then plug in the battery. I modified the scooter with a larger basket, rear-view mirror, and phone holder. I also got a Master Lock brand U-lock to use while out and about. The scooter comes with front and rear lights, and a little bell. The bell was in the way so I moved it to allow room for the mirror. The shocks can be adjusted depending on how much cushion you want. I didn’t adjust mine but I may loosen them a bit just to have a smoother ride. On my first ride I noticed that it accelerates nicely and fairly smoothly. The mechanism to go forward took a bit to getting used to, only because the scooters I rode previously were a bit different. I almost always ride at the max speed, and let off when going down hills. Higher speeds are possible while going down hill. On inclines the scooter slows a little bit, and even more if the incline is more than a 20 degree angle. Nonetheless, this was not an issue for me as I was not needing to go up steep inclines. I also weigh around 108 lbs, so I imagine someone weighing closer to the max limit of the scooter would have trouble. There is not a lot of “horse power” driving the motor so for people who want more speed and more power, I would recommend the 500W model rather than the 350W one that I bought. Another small thing I noticed is that - just after one ride, the grip tape is coming off in one of the corners. It’s not a huge deal, but as someone who used to skateboard - gripping her own boards - it’s not difficult to make sure the grip tape stays on properly. The grip tape itself is a little bit thin, so I might actually replace the grip tape myself. On my second right I noticed that on the way back from a ~3 mile round trip, the battery indication screen kept going from 3 bars to 2, interchanging between the two almost randomly. I charged the battery full overnight, and that issue did not happen the first day I rode it, and it had only charged for ~4 hours prior to that. I’m not sure if there is something wrong with my scooter, but I plan on seeing what the bars do when the battery drains lower. Another thing I noticed is that the breaks don’t function as well when roads are wet, so it’s something to be mindful for. This is true for bicycles as well so I was expecting that. I rode the scooter on a dry day and a wet day and it did fine both times. For the price, it is decent. The price dropped around $60 literally the day after I bought it, which meant the price for the 500W had dropped to the price I paid for this scooter, so I was feeling kind of bitter about that. I would have preferred the 500W, but the price point and shipping time for this one just worked out better for me. In the future if I were to buy another one, or replace this one, I would get one with more power for sure.

*Firstly I want to talk about the delivery. Amazon, you need to get it together. I was told it would be delivered Thursday before 10pm, fine, whatever. I am not working Thursday so I’ll just stay home all day and wait for the notification. Then I got an email that it was going to be delivered a day early (Wednesday) which normally would be awesome but they required me to meet the carrier to exchange a password for the package. I work Wednesday at 2p so I called Amazon to ask if I could get a more narrow time frame so I can plan around it. I was told they don’t know when it will be delivered. 30 minutes after my call I got a notification it would be delivered between 11a - 3p. Why not just tell me that? I was able to sign for the package but was a bit late to work for it.* The bike itself is really great. For reference I am 280 lbs, 5’9” and I got the 500w 25 mile version of this product. Starting with the unboxing, it came very well packaged and took maybe 30 minutes to put together. It’s very self explanatory with minimal experience. The seat is adjustable, the shocks are adjustable and the handle is adjustable to an extend. It comes with a charger, bell, 2 keys, and a basket to affix to the scooter. I do highly highly highly recommend getting a cupholder, phone holder, and at least one rear view mirror to add to the bike, it will make your ride much more enjoyable. The scooter is pretty comfortable. They advertise the seat being really padded making long rides more bearable. It’s alright, not as comfy as I thought it’d be. The seat does also have some springs to make your ride smoother, however I do sometimes feel like I am going to fall off the back of the scooter due to the springs compressing. The lack of suspension in the front is noticeable but once you get riding you get used to it. Something that isn’t really talked about is the gear mechanism. It has 3 gears, “A” (gear 0), “1” (gear 1), $ “2” (gear 2). When you turn on the bike it automatically is in “A”. The motor will not move the bike. It’s essentially in neutral. “1” is a slow speed, while in this gear I can get up to 15.7 mph on a flat road, 10.3 mph going uphill. “2” is full power, in this gear I am able to reach the bikes max speed of 20 mph going on a flat road, 13.5 mph uphill. I am really impressed with the performance of this scooter. The battery indicator is not very accurate. I ride under a mile to work everyday. The indicator drops very quickly when in “2” but pops back up when I come to a stop. It’s more of a “current use” indicator than a “remaining life” indicator. The lights are EXTREMELY bright for something this size. They do take some adjusting out of the box as mine came with the headlight facing the wheel below it but once they’re adjusted the work very well. The rear light does flash as you brake. Overall a great bike for the price, I 100% recommend this for anyone looking for a neat scooter to ride to work, around campus, or through a city. Edit: I still love this scooter however after stress testing it, I am only able to get about 10 ish miles on a full charge when fully using gear 2. I’m sure if you rationed the battery, keeping it in gear 1, it’d last longer but I’m a bit disappointed as I was expecting it to last much longer.

Purchased this for my daughter's 10th birthday. Fit and finish are great, reliability and battery life have been good too. No issues experienced at all. Assembly was simple enough too. The basket on the back has been super useful for carrying supplies like water bottles and small toys. She loves this thing, and even as a grown man, I do too :)

I recently purchased the Gotrax Flex Scooter for my daily commute, and I'm extremely satisfied with its performance. The scooter is lightweight yet sturdy, making it easy to maneuver through crowded city streets. The foldable design is convenient for carrying onto public transportation or storing in tight spaces. The battery life is impressive, allowing me to travel several miles on a single charge. The braking system is responsive and reliable, giving me peace of mind while riding in traffic. Overall, I highly recommend the Gotrax Flex Scooter to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable mode of urban transportation. It's a fantastic value for the price and has made my daily commute much more enjoyable.

Absolutely the best, just need a better light, a bigger basket and it would be the best on the market period, don't know why there isn't mor of this design being promoted everywhere I ride this EVEERYDAY to and from work over 8km, rain or shine, day and night, and having used a few of their other standing scooters, this is by far the best one I've had. Good speed + acceleration, good weight, front and back lights, key start, the sealed breaks so I don't have to clean the all the time, good sized tires, and SHOCKS yes so, many very great shocks front, back, hell the seat has one too, not having to carry my lunch, groceries and things on my back Had a really nasty crash with a fallen tree branch at 40kph in the dark, and I can 100% say this scooter came out of in 99% better than I did, only a little scuff to the top of the handle screen meanwhile I'm in the hospital for 12+ hours, so well-built is an understatement Maintenance is a breeze, mostly just wiping off road grit and pumping up the tires once a month Alot of people seem to think they should be able to ride any scooter, not just this one up ANY hill like a car, but they can't and this one's no exception, though I've easily made it up hills beyond the standard 15 grade they all scooters suggest on this with very little slow down but you're not going racing up the really big ones that even cars can be heard chunking on to go up, so plan your path accordingly Battery and distance is great, I used to use nearly all of it in one trip on previous scooters, with this beast my battery meter doesn't even drop one bar in a full trip to and from work, which is great since I forget to plug it in often lol, I do wish the plug in for the batter wasn't on the bottom though, while not bad or anything it just isn't as convenient as an older guy like me would like (knees are creaky lol) 100% Would buy again, and again, love it

Purchased 2 of these for my wife + myself for putting around the campsite. They arrived within 2 days! Packaging was very good and the scooters are easy to assemble. They zip along pretty good, although you won't win any races with them! Top speed is about 15 mph but that suits us fine as we're retired and only wanted a fun way of getting around. We had electric bikes a few years ago but wanted something smaller + less expensive. I think these are a bargain at this price! Recommended!

I received my scooter yesterday, ON TIME and in PERFECT condition. Unpacking was easy and ASSEMBLY was simple and took only a few moments: lift and lock the stem, screw down the handlebars, insert the seat, adjust and lock, and screw down the basket. Tools were included and I'm quite sure 99% of buyers can do it all themselves. The scooter is LIGHTER than I expected and the clever weight distribution and high floorboard clearance makes it easy to handle. CHARGING is a bit slow ... but they don't claim otherwise. Build QUALITY is top notch - I am so IMPRESSED! Everything is sturdy and secure and there is no wiggle in the stem. Tires are nice enough and arrived inflated and ready to go. Fenders are nice and secure - no rattling or noise. Kickstand is thick and robust and holds it up nicely without worries. The basket is high quality, spacious and handy. The screen is functional and has everything you really need: speedometer, odometer, voltage, gear settings and battery bar. Took it out for a ride today and was super happy! The SUSPENSION systems are excellent! 2 in front, 2 in back, there are springs under the plushy, wide seat and a seat post with suspension as well - WOW! Feels like you are floating over even the worst road conditions! Fantastic. ACCELERATION is gradual and smooth. If you want something to do burnouts on, this is not it - but for me this is perfect. A smooth and silent ride. There is also a unique acceleration guard: If you stop at a red light (for example) the scooter automatically switches to 0 gear after a short wait, so you cannot accidentally 'take off'... you have to tap the brakes to put it in 'drive' again. I think this is a brilliant addition to PEV's which I have not seen before. (And I have owned a bunch of 'em) Way to go GoTrax! SPEED is good and as claimed. TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT is large, bright and functional. HEADLIGHT angle is adjustable but the amount of light thrown is minimal and too focused. If there was one thing I would like to see improvement on it would be a better headlight. All in all my first impressions have been very positive. It's better than I expected and that's saying something because I have pretty high standards and expectations. :) I will update again after some more thorough testing~

UPDATE : now that the cold weather is here is Canada and I mean chilly brrrr , you will have to bring the scooter in from the cold in order to keep battery life . It is terrible in the snow BUT is it lol . If you use the lowest setting ( in the cold ) and go slow you will be fine but if you gun it be prepared to wipe out . The battery has lasted me around 4 work day commute but I do bring it in and remember this is extreme cold weather commute (-25 to -30) . If you have to carry it in I recommend you be able to as it is heavy 75lbs . I have no problem female -58 but I am physically capable . I still love this scooter and I highly recommend it . I’ve had this scooter for almost two months , let me just say it is FANTASTIC & FUN ! It is not crazy fast but it is fast enough . I use it for my daily commute to work and home now ( 6kms) and charge it at the end of my 5 day work week . The battery lasts way long in first “gear” and it does reach 15.5miles . Second gear well let’s just say speed wobble at 20 miles . I’ve taken it down to the last battery bar and this scooter did 10 kms which I will test it out longer one day and still had pep and 1 full bar still . The grandkids also love it and have a blast every time they come over (11&15) . Will update when the Canadian cold weather arrives as I do like to play in the snow 🤣🤣🤣
