Hi everyone!
Few months ago I asked about finding a good cheap escooter: https://lemmy.world/post/15970361
After watching this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC8Fd7Hb1w&t=472s
I ended up buying this scooter!

On Thursday did my longest trip with it and did nearly 13 miles, and it still had over 25% left. I weigh 140 pounds so me being light might be why it had such a good range.
Otherwise I use it a ton to go grocery shopping every couple days, get to dr appointments, and the like. It’s wonderful for little me who works from home and is within 4 miles of most things I need.
Also I have a room mate who doesn’t have a car for financial reasons, and they’ve fallen in love with it as well for running errands under 2 miles so they’ve mentioned they might get one once they get a bit more money so they don’t have to borrow mine. Only complaint is I might try to make the basket bigger, as it’s a tad small!
But yeah just wanted to throw out my experience for anyone else looking for a cheap escooter!
Cool! Thanks for the review. I see lots of folks around with sit-down scooters like this and wonder how they are so it’s cool to hear it’s working for you!
How quickly does it charge?
Honestly never paid attention to charging speed, never actually gotten the silly thing under 25%, and most of the time after riding it’s still over 50%. So I just plug it in whenever I’m done with it and I know it’ll be full when I get back.
not a super helpful answer.
