I'm older and heavier so I was looking for something that had the safety, power and durability features I needed. I was also looking for a scooter that could accommodate a newbie but would have the power reserves I knew I would eventually grow into. I received this beast about 10 days ago but had the brake sensor issue so had to order the replacement sensors and wait for them to arrive. Finally got them yesterday and got out on the scooter today. Loving the ride, the power and the build quality of the product. Thanks to Fluid Freeride for making the process to get the replacement sensors so easy. Great purchase, support and product experience so far. Couldn't be happier.
