- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024The trike was fairly easy to put together, even though the instructions were a bit lacking. Not hard to figure out, though. Everything was in the box. Not a thing missing. The tire slippage when starting out is a bit of a problem, but once you figure out how to feather the throttle, it's not a problem. The battery seems to last a long time and they even hot glued the terminals to keep them from corrosion. Remember to put the fuse in by the battery or you won't have power. A spare fuse was sent with. My experience when I checked the speed of the trike was about 8 mph on setting 1. About 11 mph on setting 2. And 16 mph on setting 3. Although, you can really get flying if you're going down a slope. Don't forget to re-check all the tightness of the nuts and bolts after a few drives. Lots of fun to take a spin on.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021My son bought this MotoTech 48v 500w tricycle about six months ago. This is a second review. He uses it to ride back and forth to work about 4 miles away, 20 minutes each way. The battery is preforming well. There is no noticeable loss of power during the day and charges fully each night. Yes, the reviews that claim it is top-heavy and can tip over are true. But so is a bicycle and we learn to ride those. It takes some practice to learn the best way to ride. The front wheel does tend to slip on take off but if you lean forward to get your weight over the front wheel it helps gain traction. When the time comes to replace the front wheel I will replace it With a knobby tire hoping for better traction. Pictured. It can go fast! 25-30 MPH. So wear the appropriate safety gear. Helmet, elbow pads, knee pads. The rear tires have the been the challenge so far. The original tires wore out fast and the inner tubes are thin. I tried the Red 2.50-4 hand truck tires from the local hardware store. They fit well and work fine around the house but on sidewalk and street use they proved to be not durable enough. We are trying the Kendra brand 2.80/2.50-4 from the electric scooter parts store. They also have the knobbys. Changing the rear tires are fairly straight forward but the axle nut is on very tight. Use a breaker bar or pneumatic impact driver. Thorn strip between the inner tubes and tires are a good idea. I have not had to disassemble the front wheel to replace the tire yet. Anyone with experience in doing this? A posting would be much appreciated.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024I broke my back last year and recovery is taking a long time. I have a little dog that I walk 3 to 5 miles every single day rain or shine. After my back I decided to get a scooter that doesn't brake the bank, so I could continue walking him. I found this scooter and ordered it and really love it. I have to charge it once every few days. Yes you need to put more weight on the front tire when on gravel or going uphill but just standing up (if u can) works fine. I would have given 5 stars but the tires are what is stopping me. Yes I went to the hardware store and they had the inner tube but not the tires (which are completely bald after a year of driving it). I went back to the place I ordered the scooter (Amazon) and they have tires that they recommend to go with the scooter. Don't bother . They do not fit. No matter how much u try these tires do not go with this scooter. So I am at a loss as to where to go from here. UGH!!!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016When I got it, I had to assemble it. I assembled it in my second story apartment and needed two people to help me get it downstairs....
There was a crack in the fiberglass casing that I had to repair. The front tire peels out and I have a hard time getting traction on hills, gravel or wet grass. I bought it as an alternative to my mobility scooter(because I'm disabled). I wanted something that went faster and was more all terrain so I could get more active with my child. The thing that I like the least about it is it has this very chemical gassy plastic smell and I store it in my car when I'm using it regularly and my whole car smells so bad I feel like it's making us sick, so I keep having to figure out where I'm going to store it where I don't have to inhale the fumes. Also the throttle is very sensitive, I barely turn it and it will GO! And sometimes that's not a good thing, I smashed right into a wall with it :/ and the last couple times I used it I had a hard time getting the key into the ignition which is worrying me a bit.
But all in all I like the height, I like the quickness, power and the turning... and just being able to get around and having an alternative to my mobility scooter. Also, it folds up nicely, so I can store it in the back of my SUV.(the seat comes off and the handlebars fold-down and to the side)👍🏽🤓
