This scooter will not make it up a 40 degree hill. I purchased this scooter to get the mail and ride around the nieghborhood it's fine for that. This scooter has a rage of 15 miles so I wanted to take it to Albertsons and it made it 50 feet and it was a very slow 50 feet up the 40 degree incline. It is a long incline but the scooter bogged down pretty fast. <br /> <br />Also the ride is NOT good, it's very bouncy maybe because of the spring loaded seat. My wife tried it and she had no problem with speed or hills she is only 135 pounds so she is way less than the 250 weight limit... <br /> <br />Overall I give this scooter a rating of 2. The fit and finish is not great, and the instructions leave something to be desired. Not clear at all. I have a full Craftsman roll away toolbox with tools that rival any auto dealership mechanic so I'm pretty good with mechanics. <br /> <br />I also Autocross race my 2000 Miata and did most of the upgrades on it and putting this Scooter together had me scratching my head at 3 different areas, the front tire assembly, no direction on how the forks go, only a picture and you can't see how the forks go as there is a small spacer and I had to figure out for myself on what side the spacer should be. That's not good, the regular Joe or Jane will NOT know how this works, then they tell you you have to install a fuse before use and they give you like 5 fuses and they don't show if you need to install 1 or several. It turned out I did NOT have to install any fuses, found that out after tracing the entire wire harness to find that ALL necessary fuses were installed. <br /> <br />The scooter is NEW so it's not like someone put it together returned it and I got it. All packaging was new. Then there was the fender rack. When I tried to push the rods through the fender holes with rubber washers, the rubber washers decinegrated into many pieces. The rubber is dry rotted so the scooter has been sitting for a long time. Also, no instructions on how to install the rack and trunk. <br /> <br />Lastly, I noticed a smear in the clear plastic that covers the dash so I took it Part to clean it and it was a defect in the plastic so I can barley see the lights in the dash. <br /> <br />A LOT of problems for a scooter that costs over $300.00. I am disabled and need it to get the mail and it's good for that so I will be keeping mine. <br /> <br />I hope this review helps you make an educated decision before you buy...

He wanted a scooter so bad, so we searched and found this one. Beware....it looks great, and is appealing for a young child, but the construction of this item is very poor! The instructional booklet is barely readable and hard to understand. It never did address how to charge or not charge and for how long. I had to return the first one because parts did not fit. Before you buy this product go to other sites that review this product. I wish I would have! Rating: 2 / 5 I recently purchased this scooter for my 11yr old for Christmas.

Indicator lights were on, but would not run. Called and had to order batteries, of all things, batteries never came. Email and call the company about once a month, its been since October 2008 and haven't had a response from the company, paid for the batteries that never came. For the past 20 months the scooter is sitting on the back lanai collecting dust, it really was a great looking scooter, but completely useless. Will never order from this company again. Need to just throw it away, wouldn't be fair to sell it to anyone else, because of its uselessness.

Why does Amazon continue to carry it? There must be those who buy without reading the reviews. Just to make this product available on Amazon is to diminish Amazon's credibility.

Everything worked but it didn't run. Tech support could not help. Ordered a new controller and it arrived with absolutly no paaperwork. It also did not work. For some reason the controllers are constantly upgraded. Rating: 5 / 5 Inherited a beautiful scooter. Everything worked but it didn’t run. Tech support could not help.
