What experts liked

It's of good quality, very heavy and thick, and the pedals are non-skid, so you don't have to worry about slipping during use. We can use it for days on a single charge!

Overall, build quality is good when you take into account this is one of the least expensive electric scooters. Its built-in LED information display, and its design make it an attractive entry-level scooter.

What experts didn't like

The brakes misalign after the first small bump, the clip for the folding feature will vibrate off as it is only screwed onto the fender, the tread on the back tire become racing slicks after a mile and the front tire is....well, its toast after 2 miles on rough pavement.

Nonadjustable handlebars. Has trouble getting up steeper hills.

Struggles on steep hills. No pneumatic tires.

Some components, like the brake lever, feel cheap. The brakes needed some adjustment, and the cable routing isn’t the best design. The brakes are also a little noisy.

Low visibility. Not for those with limited riding experience as this folding scooter has an app. We experienced some issues with the android app that comes installed on these folding scooters.

The price is a little too high since there are other models with similar features.

There is a red cable going on the outside of the scooter, I would have preferred them to go inside the frame or at least use two black cables. Have an issue with the cruise control, similar to early m365.
