" ... - battery is enough for my daily trip but a little more juice would be better. ... "
" ... Battery charge will last her the day. ... "
" ... The charging time is reasonable and rhe battery life lasts for around 3 hours. ... "
" ... Because they are for recreational use in the neighborhood we have never actually folded them nor have we had any battery issues. ... "
" ... Has good battery life (lasts 2 days in San Francisco, and I live on the biggest hill in the city), max speed is 18/19MPH, which is perfect for the San Francisco downtown streets. ... "
" ... I have tested the range up to 15 miles with a full charge. ... It looks like the scooter will go up to 18/19 mph up until the remaining charge gets to about 75%. ... "
" ... Scooter was great up to the point where the battery wouldn’t charge. ... "
" ... It's a free piece which you have to pull out and replace every time you charge. ... "

" ... Even a huge man stomping on the latch doesn't fold it. ... Wayyyyy too dangerous for any new scooter Rider and the folding mechanism is enough for even the most scooterer to get annoyed. ... "
" ... The screws keep holding the top bar to your body keeps getting loose while riding (please see attached photo after one day of ridding ~35 mins). ... "
" ... I made sure everything was tight before riding, but after a few weeks 3 out of the 4 screws were loose and the last had fallen out riding around somewhere. ... "
" ... not only is your ride going to be very bumpy, but every time you catch a tiny bump on the road, the scooter will shake violently, which will lead to premature wear and tear of its mechanical component ... talk to a car mechanic to discuss what will happen to your car with you eliminate its suspension - it will fall apart and die miserably within weeks EVEN with air/pneumatic tires . ... and now, remove suspension from your car AND ALSO slam airless tires on it: it will become trash within a day from all the violent shaking and bumping ... granted, a scooter is much lighter, but it is also made of weaker materials and with more liberal technical tolerances, and it WILL start falling apart with all the road shocks are unabsorbed . ... "
" ... I put the kickstand up but it does NOT hold it up, it must be put on wrong, wrong spot orside!? ... "
" ... It didn’t have a secure cap to cover it, so I was quite concerned that one splash in a puddle would do it in. ... The last issue was the grips, no matter how much I tightened them, upon using, had gotten loose. ... "
" ... I went to fold it and it didn't fold. ... There weren't even videos on how to fold the s2 at this time. ... "
" ... My only concern right now is that the locking mechanism after you unfold does not seem to be secure. ... "

" ... It also has plenty of power that enables you to drive up hills without losing a lot of speed. ... "
" ... Now, as far as “Speed” is concerned then “YES” the advertised speed is correct. ... "

" ... It absorbs the majority of the impact of big bumps that would otherwise jar your hands from the handlebars. ... Then, with my right hand, I depress the switch and the scooter easily folds. ... "
" ... I purchased this scooter about two weeks ago, Feels smooth, handles well. ... "
" ... It took her a couple practice runs, with helmet elbow knee and wrist guards of course, but she got it and loves it. ... "
" ... Overall this is the greatest value for what you pay for a scooter out there hands down. ... "
" ... Wear, a new, cool electric cscooter came into my eyes, I took out all the parts, ready to install, very simple, easy to get started, a total of cars, handles, charging cords and screwdrivers, I will not use After 5 minutes, the installation was completed, and then I started charging. ... "
" ... You have to learn to use the latch, especially when trying to collapse the scooter. ... The S2 is a lighter, more nimble scooter. ... "
" ... smooth ride, feels as if you are gliding on air. ... "
" ... The trade off is comfort which is why I mentioned this not being designed for uneven roads or unpaved roads. ... "

" ... It is a very sturdy, heavy scooter. ... The large platform makes it easy to stand on and its weight makes it much more stable. ... It attaches to the rear fender, making it easy to carry. ... And being lighter it is easier to lug onto the bus. ... "
" ... The unit breaks down and is easy to carry even as heavy as it is after you learn how to muscle it for your particular size and storing needs. ... This is a Cadillac, if you will, so if you need to carry your scooter a lot there are lighter options at the cost of smooth ride, speed, range etc . ... "

" ... When I go to the Coney Island Beach I using it for commuting to the subway or bus. ... "
