“Love the scooter. Well built and the fast charger definitely helps.
One thing I would change:
It is defaulted to Turbo. When button is pressed- Eco is activated- for me it should be the other way around. Eco should be defaulted and if you want to go fast then hit the Turbo button - similar to activating Nitrous in cars if you want to go faster just hit the button.
Its a minor thing but that would be a better option for me.
Second button is correct: defaulted to single. When button is pressed, it activates the dual motors.
It is heavy- I dont know how I am going to carry this on the train going to work.
The handle folds down but there is no lock when folded down.
Definitely respect the scooter because it can hurt you it is fast.
Depending on how heavy the rider is- speed goes down with heavier riders.
I tested it at full charge- dual wheel, turbo and 3rd gear and went 49mph.
(Not riding on it by just slightly lifting up)
Wear protective gear - helmet, pants, shoes, etc...
I got the bigger battery- LG.
If its available just get the bigger capacity battery.
Hope this helps.”
“The turbo wheel lightning is it incredible machine I wait about 220 lb and I were able to get 37 miles an hour within seconds use it everyday I could be happier can't wait to see on the long run how does it do so far so good”
“This thing is as nice as the video that sold me on it. I'm a big guy, 6'1" 240+lbs and this thing is fast as $@#(! I've gotten it up to 35mph as far as I know, after going that fast on a scooter, it's probably best to focus on the road and not the speedometer. It does start to get a little shaky going this fast, but I've found that readjusting my stance solves the problem.
I wish there was an option to have a tracking device installed on it.”
“Been living with the Lightning a few months now. Really happy with it! Feel its as big and powerful as I'm likely to want to go.... Brakes are strong. Steering has a bit of what car people call "understeer". It subtly feels like it wants to go straight, which gives a feeling of stability, even at speed. The suspension is great; real treat to be able to ride over cobblestones and city street holes and bumps, as well as some off-road, smoothly with no fear of damage or instability. Power is massive compared to smaller scooter I'm stepping up from. Even lowest settings are good in the bike lane. At highest, 2 wheel turbo and " level 3", dusts all cars at urban stop light. As in, brace with the rear foot on the riser, lean forward and hang on. Have had no negative issues with the stock battery so far. Upgraded charger offered by e-Wheels, that displays voltage and amperage and settable charge percentage, a really appreciated upgrade over stock. I personally modded to folding handle bars for tighter urban storage and find them useful. In my experience, the steering bar lock-in is quite stiff with proper adjustment. VERY satisfied with the scooter, and price paid, for fun and urban transportation. Communication with Jason/ e-Wheels prior to purchase was nearly instantaneous and really helpful. Sense of customer support is so far excellent.”
