I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

I have been using this scooter for 3 days now. I don't understand how people even walk. If it's not just a walk. Saves a lot of time! Doesn't fart into the atmosphere. Easily folds and unfolds in seconds. You can carry it in your hand when folded (it’s not hard for me), you can roll it in front of you or behind you holding the steering wheel - it’s noticeably easier. They easily let you on the subway with it, you don’t have to pay for it anywhere. The electronic brake works great. I just jumped over all sorts of curbs, rain tubules - the benefit of this is the shock absorbers in front and behind, the jumping ability is good. Pulls in sport mode quite cheerfully. You just need to learn how to calmly maneuver and brake sharply not only with an electronic brake, but also with a foot brake. And of course, there is some minus compared to a unicycle or a gyro scooter - both hands are occupied. You have to put on a backpack and stop to talk on the phone. You can ride even with one hand, but it is dangerous. Any pebble - and most likely you will not hold it. And he goes 25 km / h easily!
In general, I'm happy with this device like an elephant! For the money, this is just a smart assistant when moving around the city. Drove by car to a normal parking lot or by public transport to the nearest place and drove, instead of dragging on foot. In the car, it easily fits into the aisle in front of the rear seats, no need to open the trunk. You can also ride like a regular scooter, pushing with your foot. But for this you need to turn it off, then there will be no resistance at all.
The battery is enough for me with my weight of 85 kg for about 15 km in sport mode.
Of the three days, two days went in the rain. No problem. Just don't ride it on car roads. It's really not safe, even if you are an ace scooter!

Pros

Very decent appearance, no dangling wires, a comfortable wide rubberized deck (where to stand with your feet), a rather peppy engine

Cons

1. When driving on tiles, it rattles terribly. Like it wants to fall apart. I'm worried. Feeling cheap. But upon closer inspection, everything looks screwed up normally. Although after a day of driving, in some incomprehensible way, one bolt popped out and unscrewed, which secures the steering rack. It's good that I immediately noticed this and picked it up. 2. The steering bearing is a little loose. Quite weird. 3. Cast wheels (not inflatable). This is good for a flat surface in dry weather. But on the pavement, all the vibration dangles the structure. But the main difficulty is riding in the rain. So, when turning on a large stone slab, I slipped and fell - the wheels simply do not hold. But on a dry and even surface, there is much less rolling loss. 4. Some rubber bands began to peel off. Sadness. On the picture. 5. The steering wheel is not of standard thickness - do not put the usual signals and other attachments. On the picture. ate: it turned out that the rumble sound on the bumps was actually a hellish squeak of the rear shock absorber spring. On the picture. I sprayed it with WD-40 and everything was fine, no sound at all! Another ate: I've been riding every day for a week now. numerous mileage measurements show that the battery lasts for about 12 km. And not 25 km, as it is written in the characteristics. In fairness, I note that I drive exclusively in sport mode with a maximum speed of 25 km / h, but not all the time of course. Sometimes you have to go around pedestrians at a lower speed. But the difference in real mileage by 2 times is still a bad result! (((Of course, you will have to buy an additional battery, but the sediment remains . ( And immediately the third ate: two bolts at the bottom of the steering rack are constantly unscrewed. Apparently from shaking. Included with the scooter were spare screws and rubber washers. I recommend that you immediately insert them when buying, although they are intended for a different place.
