I'm new to electric scooters, so I have limited experience comparing to other electric scooters. However, I do have two electric skateboards and one electric mountain board. This scooter is just awesome. After a couple of hours of getting aquainted with the way it rides, my timidity has changed to careful satisfaction. I haven't gone full speed on it, but starting at such low speeds to get accustomed to it, I'm getting better and more accustomed to the way the trigger works, the way the tires and suspension works with the pavement. It's a beast on two wheels. Kind of feels like learning to ride a motorcycle again. All jittery and nervous, but slowly increasing the speed and feeling the turns. The included dampener has be installed, but I didn't find any instructions. The allen screw that connects to the red board mount for the dampener, does not fit without loosening the red dampener mount and then once you get the allen screw in there, you are unable to use an allen driver to tighten the screw. I had to user needle nose pliers to hold the allen screw in place, while using a nut driver to tighten the ohlins dampener in place. I think its a mere oversight by the manufacturer. Works great once installed and don't forget to adjust for full turning radius. My dampener was not adjusted properly out of the box to allow me the full turning radius to the left. Easy fix though. Wire management. Wire management is good, but you may need to use zip ties to help keep the excess close to the handle bars. I noticed that the wires are getting pinched near the dampener otherwise if not adjusted for slack to be kept at the top near the handlebars. Dash settings are easily adjusted for miles and I noticed the default settings for the tire was at 10. These are 11 inch tires. That may give you the incorrect speedo info if you leave it at the default settings. Overall I am very pleased with the scooter and would recommend to people that like a challenge, like speed and do not necessarily need a portable scooter. The handle bars do fold, but the sheer weight of the scooter deters any thought of easily placing in vehicle, moving it upstairs even moving it over one little 6 inch hump.
