Review on Electric scooter Ninebot KickScooter F40A, up to 120 kg, dark gray by Ewa Bielecka ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly what I wanted, but basically everything is fine.

Pretty average scooter. It turned out neither fish nor meat. Let's start with the most important problem: the declared power reserve. I have no idea how to get 40 km on it. Maybe if it's a warm, fine day, you drive all the time from a hill, and a child weighing 20 kg will steer, it will work out. In fact, a man weighing 85 kg in the urban cycle with curbs, traffic lights in D mode (not even sport) drives about 15 km. When 10% of the charge remains, the scooter does not ride at all. That is, literally, you push off, you press the gas - but it does not react. Sometimes he catches himself, picks up a couple of meters and gets up again. In the range of 10-20%, it drives like in economy mode (maximum 14 km / h with slow acceleration). Do not look at the description, there are no shock absorbers. All joints will feel very good. As for the weight. It weighs the declared kilograms, but when carried, they are felt very even. The question here is to whom it bothers. As a result, we have a very low-budget scooter that rides briskly, but has a power reserve like that of a state employee. Moreover, for this money there are no shock absorbers, and the software is well, such a thing. The quality of the materials is generally decent, but the steering wheel, for example, constantly unscrews from shaking. If it cost like a younger brother (18th model), then it could be recommended for purchase. For the same money there are much more interesting models. Yes, they may be less balanced, but if you choose the right characteristic, they will tear this scooter like a heating pad.

Pros
  • in terms of weight / battery is not bad enough
Cons
  • short range (no 40 km) the remaining 10% does not go lack of shock absorbers
