Electric Scooter - 350W Motor, 8.5' Solid Tires, Up to 19 MPH and 20/23 Miles Long-Range Portable Folding Commuting Scooter for Adults with Double Braking System and App

I had ridden several electric scooters before... This review was written after using it for almost a month. IN A NUTSHELL The Roinside UP6A is a joy to ride. With decent acceleration and a medium-width base for stability, maneuvering it with the wind brushing against my helmet-protected face felt good and freeing! The brake, gear selection, and acceleration controls were second-nature, and the ability to fold the scooter for carrying around added space-saving convenience around the garage and car trunks. At just 15 lbs, it is fairly lightweight. It packs a good amount of power (350W nominal), but can struggle going up hills (it slows down considerably on steep slopes), and is priced much more competitively against well-established brands, such as Segway and Razor, for models with similar specifications. I was able to tandem ride the scooter on its first day for 15 miles with the battery run down to 40% remaining, solo for 29 miles with 25% left, and always felt that there was plenty of capacity left to stroll around the neighborhood at up to 18 mph, a speed limit artificially set by California law. And that leads to the biggest gripe: the California law for motorized scooters that went into effect on January 1, 2005. Although I understand the intent behind the law to protect people from injury, it had put a tremendous damper on my ability to RESPONSIBLY enjoy riding it around town. Federal, State, and local City laws will also differ. With that said, it does not take away from the fact that driving an electric vehicle is quite fun. PROS - Good (but not strong) acceleration with a powerful, brushless DC motor -- Nominal (average) power: 350W -- Satisfying sound coming from the electric motor - Great range and good battery life --- Before I knew about California law restricting motorized scooters, I cautiously test rode with my 35 lb son on mostly flat sidewalks (with some gradual inclines/declines) for long stretches throughout the neighborhood and parks - At 15 lbs, is less expensive than brand names for scooters of similar range and weight - Folds fairly flat -- Can be carried single-handed by the neck - Readable display in bright sunlight - Built-in kickstand - Arrived fully assembled CONS - Speed capped at 19 mph to comply with US regulation -- Sometimes, I wish I could ride faster, but have to remind myself that the limit is for my safety - Vertical part is not height-adjustable TIPS MAINTENANCE - Before first use, charge the battery fully -- Lithium Ion batteries are known to be volatile and could catch on fire --- Do not charge overnight or unsupervised for prolonged periods of time. Stop charging once full --- Do not leave the scooter in full sun or below freezing -- Keep battery charged at 50% or more to prolong battery's 500+ cycle lifespan. Try to never let it drain completely - Before riding, check the tire pressure and tighten any loose screws OPERATION - Do not brake hard. Doing so could make you painfully tumble, scooter skid, and/or wear out the tires -- Be aware of unexpected obstacles. I tumbled once at roughly 5 mph when transitioning from grass to concrete. It was not fun - I found the most stability (especially when turning) by putting one foot pointing forward and the other at 45 degrees to the side - As battery neared empty, I noticed that maximum speed gradually lowered - Roinside states that the scooter is designed for only 1 rider. California law does prohibit having a passenger MOTOR SCOOTER LAWS When I was made aware by a friend that there are laws governing the use of motorized scooters, I was sad to see how restrictive they were. I considered myself to be a cautious, responsible, and respectful rider when taking my son out on a slow, controlled ride on the sidewalk with both of us having helmets on, slowing down considerably (to 1-3 mph) and moving to the side when approaching a pedestrian. Like a bike rider, I yielded to people as a matter of respect and courtesy, and constantly checked on and reminded my son to stand solid and to hang on tight. Any potential obstacles were avoided, turns were made with caution, and as with bike riding, I wanted to stay on the sidewalk whenever possible to keep the little one safe and away from speeding cars. The point is, courtesy, caution, and riding alert go a long way in being safe, in my opinion. With that said, I read that there were a number of accidents involving scooters hitting pedestrians or riders hurting themselves. I get it. Laws are there to protect people from each other and themselves, especially from irresponsible individuals. Luckily, when a police officer drove past on the third day of test riding, he did not stop and ticket for scooting on the sidewalk with my son. CALIFORNIA LAW California Vehicle Code in January 2005 regulated the operation of a motorized scooter. Keep in mind that Federal, State, and local city ordinances may differ. Disclaimer: I AM NOT A LAWYER. Please consult your local city, police department, and/or legal professional for advice. The following is my interpretation of how I understand the law. It has been shortened due to Amazon limitation on the number of characters in a review text. - Must ride with a Driver's License or Instruction Permit - Must wear a bike helmet if under 16 years of age - Don't ride on a sidewalk unless necessary to enter or leave an adjacent property - Don't ride with another passenger - Don't carry something that prevents keeping at least 1 hand on the handlebars - Don't ride with the handlebars up so high, the hands are above the shoulders - Maximum scooter speed: 15 mph, regardless of any higher-posted speed limits - Can't ride on a street with a 25 mph (or higher) speed limit, unless there's a bike lane to be in -- HELP: Anybody know what your options are when there is no bike lane available on such streets? - Take the bike lane, if one exists - May ride on a bike path/trail/lane - Don't leave scooter on its side on any sidewalk (or in any other position) that blocks pedestrians CONCLUSION Riding the scooter and exploring has been so much fun! The thrill and freedom felt while zipping around on the board with speeds up to 19 mph reminded me of snowboarding up and down the mountains. However, despite what I felt was respectful, responsible, alert, and cautious riding with my passenger son on sidewalks, he and I were both saddened to learn that doing so was illegal. It is what it is. The Roinside UP6A, with its comparatively light weight, decent motor, and long range, makes for a great scooter that costs slightly less than most competitors with similar models. It folds compact for one-handed carry. Its construction appears and feels solid, and with the right stance and balance, I felt in control the entire time
