" ... Just charged the SICKEST ride at work! ... "
" ... Battery life is good. ... Longer battery life and stronger motor (this may make the bike heavier though) ... "
" ... 1st time charging was 5 hours. ... "
" ... It drove well enough and I still had a mostly full charge when I got to work. ... "
" ... I got just less than 6 miles from full charge. ... "
" ... Holds a charge, does very well, lasts me a week for what I need to do. ... "
" ... It is battery powered and saves me gas when doing short trips to the store. ... I weigh 235 pounds so I imagine the strain on the battery is more than it would be for someone ... I like the light on it and the horn and being able to see how much battery power is left when using it. ... "
" ... Can go a whole week on single battery charge. ... "

" ... Still REALLY REALLY worth it for the cost. ... "
" ... Build quality is great for the price. ... "
" ... The best product in the market for the price. ... "

" ... It's been sooo useful around our home and in public places. ... "
" ... Lightweight enough for me to get up and down the narrow stairs of my apartment building with ease and small enough to make it around the tight bends at the bottom of each flight of stairs without any complications. ... "
" ... this bike helps me move around inside my big office building. ... "
" ... I know I saw more of the whole area than I would have if I had to walk everywhere. ... "

Overall performance

-50%
" ... By the end of the burn it started losing speed — maybe I’m too heavy for it? ... "
" ... -Sluggish: starting this thing requires a push because this thing fails to get you going even when yanking down the throttle to the max. ... Even when trying to dial back on the speed it sets you back way too slow as if the motor is too weak to keep up. ... "
" ... It's cuter but it's hard to even stay upright on it due to the slow speed. ... "
" ... Cannot go up 95% of the hills and speed is not as advertised. ... "
" ... you're either going or you're not, and speed has to be gauged by simply turning the throttle and then releasing repeatedly to gain and lose velocity at a rate that balances out to be whatever speed you want to go. ... Unfortunately, because of the weak motor, you'll probably never want to go anything slower than the fastest speed, since half speed would be the equivalent of a light jog, and you're likely to be making 5mph at full speed anyway if you have any wind or incline whatsoever. ... "
" ... I am 180 and i feel that it`s too slow. ... But distance and speed made me upset. ... "

" ... It is super fun and easy to ride (if you are comfortable on a normal pedal-type bicycle). ... (super comfy for my bony back-side, that tends to get soar easily), and notably the handlebar grips. ... The grips have a pleasing non-slip rubber feel to them and the palm rests are amazing. ... "
" ... I have an 6 speed/ electric bike but she is not comfortable riding it or any bike for that matter but she’s totally comfortable and confident when she rides the swag. ... "
" ... It accelerates really quickly and I've hurt myself a couple of times and even fallen off of it. ... "
" ... The seat isn't the most comfortable. ... "
" ... I've suffered more than one fall because of this, although because of the small size, my feet were always able to catch me before I landed. ... The seat is relatively comfortable for upright riding, the chassis is durable and well constructed, and the whole thing feels really nice in the hand. ... The brakes work well and the foot rests are nice and secure. ... "
" ... They picked up the skill of riding it immediately. ... "
" ... It helps and is easier to manage than a wheel chair. ... "
