“This scooter serves a purpose. To get you from Point A to Point B FAST and in style. I'm looking forward to an accessory lineup, parts and new scooters from Mercane. Peter is of great help as well. Thank you.”
“I'm using the wide wheel for my daily commute. I ordered the dual motor version, and it has plenty of power to make it up a few steep hills in my area. Much more powerful than the typical scooters.
I'd welcome a more intuitive control unit - a smartphone app would be ideal. Also, it would be helpful to be able to lock or otherwise disable the machine when parked.
Overall, strong and solid machine. Tight construction, great power, and easy to ride.”
“Love the Wide Wheel. Having the dual 500w motors really makes a difference. It's so much fun to ride, even for a large guy like me (I'm over the recommended weight limit).
But it could be improved.
The display is not user-friendly. Takes time to get the timing right on long to push the 1 button, to get the option you want.
Would be nice to be able to change from Eco to Power while riding. I also purchased Mosquito Light & really like the controller display on it (can change power mode, shows speed, battery life, odometer, etc).
The headlight is bright but aiming needs to be adjustable so could light-up the path in front of you.
The cruise control function works but you're never sure if it has engaged or not.
Disc brake doesn't inspire confidence though it hasn't failed me yet, just would be nicer if it slowed down quicker.
The suspension works but would prefer a more travel.
Also would like it if the board deck was a little wider & longer.
Folding handles do fold but don't really stay folded due to cables.
I like how the brake light flashes when applied but the flashing only happens if headlight is on.
The mechanism used to be fold scooter down is a pain. I would carry it more but folding the scooter down takes too much time & it has been vibrated loose while riding. Make sure its tight.
The last improvement would be to the charging system. I think the power adapter could be incorporated into the deck, and just use a C13
connection cable (typical computer desktop power cable) to plug in. This would make it really easy to bring a charging cable with you (current power adapter is too bulky to haul with you).
It sounds like I'm complaining but really these are just minor issues & areas that could be improved. Overall it's a blast to ride. I can't imagine wanting to go faster than this can already go (when in full power mode). Very easy to learn to ride. The wide wheels work great and give you confidence in balancing. The dual motors are fan...”
Hi Ty - thank you for your balanced review. You have very valid improvement suggestions there and we are always passing these along so we can get better for future versions.
The one thing I do not agree with is your comment on the disc brake. Feedback has actually been very good and the brake's strength in combination with the wide tires make for a short braking distance.
As every disc brake, it needs to be properly adjusted to be fully effective. I will send you a little video with some tips...
“For the price, it's really hard to beat the performance and style. This thing moves my heavy self with no issue ( 225lbs ). The company is great and responsive. They genuinely care about a good customer experience and will go the extra mile to ensure your happiness and satisfaction. Order with confidence!”
“This scooter is the most stable electric scooter to ride. The wide wheels make it that way. It has the get up and GO you're looking for. I was amazed at the torque the first time I tried it. Charge times are a bit long but its lasts a long time. I got almost 19 miles out of the first charge. I do wish it had a digital display to see your speed and mileage. Overall a great experience with timely delivery of a very solid scooter.”
