Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

I bought this scooter in September 2022 for 32100. The first 500 km. went without waterproofing and rear fender support. I was very worried. Then he made waterproofing from an aluminum corner, polyurethane foam and epoxy. I know, . I changed the factory screws of the deck cover to C grade screws with washers. Everything was flush with the lid. I spilled the windings of the wheel motor with epoxy resin, and baked the rotor in the oven. The rotor magnets and iron of the stator were smeared with varnish "plastic - 71" in 4 layers. I smeared all the boards in the scooter with the same varnish. Also 4 layers. Filled the goose with mounting foam. I made the rear wing support from a 1.5 mm aluminum plate. and turn off the tail light. He is useless. As a result, the scooter "fat" by 500 grams.
After all these manipulations skated another 4180 km. no problem. Now the total mileage is 4680 km. Now 97 full charge-discharge cycles or 155 incomplete ones. There is no battery degradation. If rain catches me on a trip, then I ride and I’m not afraid that the scooter will flood. After the trip, I wash the scooter from the shower. Periodically lubricate the bearings with grease from the outside. I drilled a hole in the cover of the wheel motor, cut the threads and screwed a short bolt with a rubber band into this hole. In this hole, I periodically pour oil. The oil lubricates the bearings from the inside and further prevents corrosion on the rotor and stator. I also threw away the old rubber band covering the charging connector and attached a new one. The new rubber band fits snugly into the charging connector and prevents moisture from entering.
Especially in the rain I do not ride. I only ride in the warm season. Never rode in winter. I take care of the battery. I ride at least +5 outside the window. For all the time I changed only one chamber and a tire on the front wheel. Changed somewhere at 4000 km. Rear stock and almost like new. The fender of the front wheel broke off, but it's my own fault. Stepped on him in a hurry.
Conclusion: a normal scooter.
P. S. : I apologize to everyone if there are grammatical and punctuation errors. In the photo, the scooter is a little dirty, sorry.

Pros

1. Sufficient mileage for me. 48 km at 20 km / h with my 55 kg. +- 2-3 kg. (my weight jumps a little over time) and considering that I go to almost any hill on foot. Save charge. 2. Weighs a little. It's easy to miss the stairs. 3. Narrow handlebar and short scooter. It is convenient to maneuver among people. You can drive and go with him into any gap. The city center is very convenient with it. Easy to transport by train. You put it against the wall and it does not bother anyone. Especially in the evening when everyone comes home from work. With a bicycle or a powerful scooter, of course, this will not work. You will disturb everyone. Ideal for our cities with a huge number of curbs and steps. 4. You can put 10 tires, but I didn’t put it like that, I don’t know how they will affect the range. Who knows? Wheelchair 10s quickly "cover" with hernias, and for normal tens, you need to grind the discs a little. 5. Reliability in general.

Cons

1. No waterproofing from the factory. 2. Protruding caps of the screws of the deck cover. Before waterproofing, I had to drive carefully so as not to knock them down. 3. Difficulty in changing tubes and tires on any wheel. Especially on the front. It is difficult to fit the camera into the hole on the motor wheel. 4. Difficulty in replacing bearings in the front wheel. So far I have not changed them, but it will be very difficult and long. As long as the bearings spin well. You will have to disemble the entire scooter or cut the wire of the wheel motor and install a connector so that it is more convenient to change them in the future. 5. The first 50% of the charge is consumed slowly, and the second 50% is consumed much faster. Now I'm used to it, but at the beginning of operation it was annoying. 6. No rear fender support from the factory. The wing without support shakes like a jellied meat. 7 (no). Over time, the folding unit begins to creak, but this is probably not a minus, since this hellish creak is heard by everyone from 100 meters away, they turn around and make way for me. :D People are wondering what kind of bucket of bolts is going there, rattling and creaking all over the street. :D I don't even use the call. Seriously. It's good, huh. It is treated if a piece of cloth is put into the folding unit, although . Maybe it is not necessary to treat it? After all, this is such a cool contactless call! :D There are more cons, but these are all trifling cons. All are easily finalized with their own hands or the hands of masters from the service. To do it yourself is almost free and very interesting, although it turns out to be less aesthetically pleasing in the end, but it is reliable.
