I had high hopes for this scooter. Unfortunately, even at slow speeds it had so much hesitation that I had to buy something else at the local hardware store. At least they made it easy to try one and if it doesn't work, trade it in for another. Luckily, the first one from the hardware store worked well, although it was a lot more expensive than this gold mold. Maybe I got a bad one, but I don't have time to go back and forth so this one comes back.
