“Received my ride. Handlebars weren't included. That alone was a kill joy but understand shipping issues can occur.
My lasting impression was how frustrating it was to get you guys to send them to me. It could've been smooth and I would've been a raving fan of your company, but that didn't happen. My wife and I LOVE the ride though.”
“Thanks to Adam & his support team for addressing my concerns i was able to get my problems solve. I use city rider for my everyday commute. Now i know i can rely on the team & my friends will be purchasing. Thanks from N.J. However my need speed i reach 24mph. I just hate having constantly pushing down the throttle as i go.”
“I absolutely love it! So much fun, and it feels super sturdy. The only problem I've had is that the handlebar grip has already started to break at the very end of it. Overall, I'm very, very happy with the purchase.”
“Unable to provide a full review, as I have only had the scooter one day and the weather is quite nasty. I wanted to share a quick overview of some of the cool features!

Will update as I ride more!”
“Having used the CityRider for over a month now, I finally feel ready to review it. Some observations follow.
BUILD. The steel frame feels solid and robust. When riding, there's no creaking or rattling. Structurally, it feels built to last. There are some things (slightly off-center fender, wrinkles in the plastic by the battery, a couple wear spots on wires) that keep it from being a top-notch build, but these are generally minor.
HINGE. I have high confidence in the folding hinge design. When riding, its main load-bearing element is a robust plug on the column that the hinge lever snaps securely over. After hearing of questionable latching mechanisms on scooters from other vendors, this is reassuring.
POWER. On level ground, you can get going pretty well (~18mph), but it struggles a bit on uphills, especially at partial battery. No matter the slope, a couple of good kicks to get moving first will save acceleration time (and probably battery life, too).
LOOKS. My hands-down favorite thing about this scooter is its classy appearance. A key feature is the wooden deck. It lends an air of non-technical simplicity, making it look far less like a "gadget" and more like legitimate transportation. Along with a minimum of dangling wires and protruding widgets, this keeps it sleekly simple without appearing utilitarian.
LIGHTS. Both the headlight and taillight are bright and well placed for visibility. The turn signals are a great addition, since I mainly ride during my commute after sunset. A programming glitch turns the taillight off if you don't cancel turn signals manually, though, so be mindful when riding in the dark.
Overall, this is a good basic workhorse scooter for someone without many hills to contend with. It's sturdy, well designed, and has (in my opinion) the best aesthetics out there to blend in. Only a couple minor flaws stand between it and perfection.
