Peter really hooked it up, I had my scooter stolen the first day I got it, I had only riden it for a few minutes but it blew my mind. I bought another one and he expedited the shipping.

The absolutely love this scooter. Pros: powerful acceleration, although top speed isn't what I expected out of this model about 24mph, it's super stable, comfortable & smooth, dual suspension great looks & it folds up surprisingly small, excellent battery life. Cons, not many: weight, for a smaller person the dual motor model may be a bit to carry, brakes could be better because of the weight & speed, an addition of adjustable electronic braking & regen braking would be nice, this would only require a software update.

Overall very well built scooter, very stable and drives smoothly. Great for longer trips - while it barely fits in a two row train seat, it's also really quite heavy. Biggest complaint is that the wheels don't lock when folded down, so it slides around or trips over when in the train bike area. So need to be careful about loading it into a train. Otherwise, it drives over potholes without and issue and is a ton of fun to use! I was worried about finding this model after the Kickstarter ended, but am really glad to find this available with US support and warranty. Company has been a pleasure to work with.

Solid construction, sleek look, lots of compliments. I really enjoy the power of the dual drive motor. The smooth acceleration and impressive speed of the scooter and range far surpasses my expectations. Couldn't be more excited about this product. The only draw back is waiting on decent weather to enjoy the ride.

We purchased this scooter along with a mosquito light and also purchased a Swagger 5 (different dealer). I purchased the dual motor option (500W x 2) mainly for the larger battery pack. Of the 3 scooters, this one is the largest, heaviest and definitely the fastest! The torque is really amazing and it easily goes up hills that stall the Swagger and Mosquito. It is really enjoyable to ride. It can be folded and carried but it is quite heavy. The disk brake works well and it has suspension on both the front and back wheels. Few areas for improvement. First, the threaded knob for the folding handlebar often looses up while riding so it would be nice if this stayed secure. Second, the user interface is terrible - not intuitive at all. Additionally, when changing the settings while riding seems to get the controller in some stuck state and you have to wait many minutes for it to time out. (No combination of button presses or holds seems to be able to get the controller out of this stuck state and you end up having to walk the scooter or use it as a kick scooter for quite a while). Lastly, the user manual is really bad. Some of the English is so bad it is had to tell what it really means. I think Google translate would do a better job. Customer service has been good and Peter is responsive. Have to wait to see how it goes with reliability, longevity, replacement parts, etc. Bottom line: It is fun and fast and I would buy it again...but for over $1k, the user interface, software (bug) and instructions should be much better. In the pictures below, you can see the WideWheel on the left, Swagger 5 in the middle and Mosquito Light on the right. You can notice the size, wheel, and display differences.

Powerful and comfortable ride. With motors on both front and back wheels I am able to climb the hill up Queen Anne Ave in Seattle about 18% for 1/2 mile. Like all electrics the torque hits hard from the start. The first thing I would change is to give the throttle more delicate control. I always have to hold tightly to the controls to stay on board.

I've only been using it for a couple of days but was easy to set up and lots of fun to ride. Customer service was excellent and very responsive for any updates on shipping timeline and questions about scooter. I got the dual motor and it really flies.
