Overall a good price and fun to ride.
The scooter is worth the price. It is easy to ride and picks up speed quickly. It does have a hard time going up street hills but thats only when they are really steepy hills otherwise the scooter really works good on flat streets. Its really a fun scooter to ride and it quite riding.
Very Nice Scooter
The scooter took me around 10 minutes to assemble. Next comes a 12 hour charge of the battery. I then took it for a 8 mile spin...and it worked great! I am 54 years old and weigh 190#. If you are looking for a fun way to run short errands..this scooter could be the way to go. And if you have any children over 10...trust me...they will want to ride this ALL the time. A fun scooter worth the money.
4months, very pleased
I bought this scooter to zip around a warehouse. I am having so much fun on it I have not taken it to work.
I find it has plenty of power to zip a 210 pound guy around although I don't have any steep hills around here. It does fine on the small hills (bridge ramps ect...)
It has plenty of speed for me. Riding it is fun. Its like floating along the sidewalk. Definate cool factor. It is a head turner. People see it they immediatly want one. I do errands on it. Saves gas. I only go about 4-5 miles at a time. Never came close to running out of power.
Well built. The tire pressure was low out of the box. No big deal. Just pump em up.
Reading the reviews on amazon before I bought. I swore I would write one good or bad
I may write another in 6 months to let you know how it is holding up.
I love it. I recommend it.

It has been 4 months now and I am still very pleased with the scooter. I have saved alot of gas and it is fun to ride. I have taken it on hills, does fine. I think these elect scooters will catch on. I have been very pleased.
Needs more power for an adult rider
When I received the Schwinn 650 the box was damaged on all corners and all the tape was coming off of the box. The UPS driver said that it was not their fault and as soon as I open it I own it.(UPS and the Post office must have the same training school for manners) After fully charging for 8 hours the scooter goes fine on flat surfaces but long inclines are a problem.
I weigh 230 and that seems to be too much for this scooter to the point that you have to push it with your foot on the hills.
