Quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product

The weight of the scooter is about 14.5kg, it does not feel heavy. The scooter cannot be called sluggish at all, it accelerates well, good traction, everything suits me here.

Adjustable in stiffness (screws in the ends of the springs) rear shock absorber is best for people weighing up to 80kg, under greater weight it will work less efficiently.

The front shock absorber is initially very hard, under a person of average weight (about 70 kg) it practically does not work - that is, as if there is no shock absorber. And under a person weighing about 100 kg, it will somehow work, but with a very small stroke, and it will still be of very little use. But you can make it softer and increase the stroke by removing the rubber anthers that cover the shock absorber spring and making some improvements to this unit.

I put 4 stars because in general I liked the scooter, and we hope that the manufacturer will eliminate the mentioned design flaws in the next versions. Moreover, it is very easy for the manufacturer to solve the problem with the steering rack.

For those who want to buy this scooter and like to lean on the handlebars (and those who do not lean), I recommend strengthening the weak point of the steering rack by driving a thick-walled steel pipe into this rack (I did just that).

And it’s better to ride a scooter in the correct stance - one leg in front, the other in the back (and not two legs side by side in parallel). And to transfer the force of inertia of the body to the front and back legs, and not to the steering wheel! I also do not recommend riding this scooter with a non-reinforced steering rack together. Then nothing will happen to the steering wheel.

Pros

1. Design. 2. The folding unit is reliable and without backlash. 3. Shock absorbers front and rear. 4. Solid rear fender that won't fall off like Xiaomi scooters. In addition, with this wing, in emergency cases, you can brake like on ordinary scooters. 5. Display showing real speed. 6. Disc brake on the rear wheel. 7. Wide deck with a cool rubber anti-slip coating. 8. Connecting to an application that displays the total mileage and you can adjust the engine braking force and the sharpness of the "gas" stick and some other settings.

Cons

The scooter has a weak point - the lower part of the steering rack between the upper and lower steering bearings. At this point, a large cut was made in the aluminum pipe of the rack for the output of wires. The cut greatly weakens the steering rack at this point, where when the weight of the body leans on the steering wheel, there is a huge effort to break due to the large shoulder of the almost meter lever. And for some people who ride heavily on the steering wheel, the steering rack breaks at the point of cut. If, when driving, you do not lean on the steering wheel with your whole body, but transfer your body weight to your legs, then the steering wheel should not break. The front shock absorber needs to be finalized and brought to mind by the manufacturer in order to absorb more effectively.
