Good Commuter Scooter

My commute is about 35 minutes by either subway or scooter. Since getting this scooter I have never wanted to take the subway on a sunny day again. Even though I am a large person (6'3" and 210lbs) I have felt like the construction and performance of this scooter is solid and powerful. I have been commuting daily about 7 miles each way for over a month and have had no issues with the overall construction of the scooter. The battery gets me the 7 miles at top speed (19mph) and the brakes consistently stop me from hurtling into traffic against my will. I always feel visible even commuting early in the morning as the lights are quite bright, though they do consume the battery more quickly (I still get 7 miles out of a full charge but the battery is usually about to die at the end of that if I'm going full speed the whole time) I got a lighted helmet to avoid this issue and remain visible. I have had 2 issues with the scooter and both came from external forces, the first being a loss of a brake light lens from dropping off a small curb inadvertently; Hiboy's very responsive customer service sent a free replacement light immediately after I contacted them with this issue. The second was a flat tire which, once contacted, customer service immediately sent me a link for a tube replacement and offered to reimburse me for the part.The only real issue I have with the scooter is it's lack of power going uphill. It will get you to the top but not very quickly. Usually I find myself kicking up any moderate hill. Again, I weigh 210 lbs and the listed limit is 220lbs so this may not be an issue with a lighter rider. If you live in a hilly area a larger motor than this, or dual motors, may be necessary.Overall this has been a great way to improve my commute and has made my daily life a lot more fun.
