“I've had the scooter for a few weeks now; I preordered the 2019 dual motor version. Customer support was excellent throughout the process. I've ridden a little over 100 miles since it arrived. It's very solidly built. Folding mechanism is easy to use. The wide wheels provide a stable ride, and it's easy to maneuver once you get used to it. I use it mostly for commuting; my average ride is 12-14 miles round trip and it handles it easily with no loss of performance. I'm 175lbs and it gets me up hills easily. Average speed on relatively flat ground is about 20mph according to my GPS app when top speed is unlocked. The display is simple; it would be nice to have a speedometer and a battery percentage display, but neither of those things are really dealbreakers for me. Using the settings menus takes a little practice, but I had it down within 15 mins. Throttle is responsive, but takes some getting used to. Nothing really happens until you get to about 25%, then it creeps along. Past 50% and you're off like a rocket. Now that I have some riding time, I find it quite easy to control. Excellent product overall, and fantastic customer service from FluidFreeride!”
“I live on the East side of NYC and use this for my commute to the West side daily. It performs better then I had hoped. Takes on inclines without any trouble. I know they say this is rated for 220lb riders. I weigh 250 and it works great. The suspension works amazingly well. No problems over the irregular streets in NYC. Do not take it out on wet streets though, you will get a wet back. Other than that....I cannot find anything I don't like. I read people complaining about not having a better display. I'm ok with that....It's simple....keep your eyes on the road, not the display. Peter has been great answering my questions. I could not be happier,”
“Overall this is a very good scooter. The power and brakes are especially good. The user interface could/should definitely be improved, and neither the suspension or user interface are comparable to the turbowheel lightning, which costs about $400 more. weighs 25 lbs more, and goes 15 mph faster. -Still, it's an excellent, well built, and fun machine for what it is and at the price its at.”
“I acquired the Wide wheel dual motor, it is a beast. Exhilarating acceleration. Have used it day and night. The wide wheels help overcome all types of terrain and no incline is to steep and I live in an area with plenty. Very Impressed!!!”
“Really like the scooter overall: power delivery, braking and design/construction are all as promised. Throttle response is still fairly binary... very hard to modulate at low speeds, at least in high power mode.”
“The WideWheel is amazing, great stability, dual motor allows for massive torque - it's unnerving for the novice rider. Only had it a few days, loads of fun.
Additional pros:
[a] The key lock mechanism is unique for an e-scooter.
[b] Rides very well, very stable. You lean into your turns!
Things to improve:
[1] The throttle needs more work - you push down pretty far before it engages dramatically.
[2] How about some underbody lighting?
[3] Throttle + voltage display + key ignition is basically covered in cheap plastic, it needs to be of higher quality.”
