This review is for the iScooter iX3I live in a downtown area where parking is a problem and towing a reality. I scooter to work and all my local errands, and since I am in Florida I only use my car when it rains.As soon as I opened the box, I could see the obvious quality of the construction, and feel the weight of the materials. I was immediately impressed. The battery came about 75% charged so I immediately took a test drive. WOW! I got on the scooter and hit the throttle and immediately did a wheelie! Yes, it's rear wheel drive. It accelerates really fast, and delivers a very solid, and fast ride. It looks just like the photos an Amazon's page.This isn't a good scooter for an inexperienced rider, but I've had several scooters so I think it's awesome - by far, the best scooter I've had. It has real, air-filled tires with great tread, and the four shocks deliver a smooth ride even on the brick streets in my neighborhood. It's solid in the dirt alley behind my house, unlike my last scooter which could not handle dirt. I haven't taken it to the beach yet but I think it would do fine in the sand, too.It does have turn signals on each side, but the design of this type of scooter just doesn't give them a place to mount a truly visible turn signal. The switch is mounted in an ideal place to toggle it with my left thumb, but in daylight I doubt car drivers would see them. Unlike a car, you have to manually shut the turn signal off. The headlight position is perfect, it lights up the road great. I think the tail light could be bigger but it is visible and adequate.The battery life is great! The faster you go, the faster the battery gets used but unlike my last scooter i can ride around for a couple hours and still have plenty of battery.The scooter hits it's max speed of 25 mph very quickly and holds it well. What they call cruise control engages automatically when you hold a speed for 30 seconds or so. It's enabled by default and it's a feature I don't like. It can easily be disabled in the app. The highest speed mode is limited to 25 mph, unfortunately I can't yet find a way to increase that limit.I love this scooter, and strongly recommend it.Theres a metal bracket above the rear fender with two holes in it, they're perfect to use to lock the scooter to a bike rack. The app has a wheel-lock setting but that doesn't stop someone from picking it up and carrying it away.The only problem I've had was connecting it to the app, The error message in the app is in Chinese, so i couldn't understand it, but an email to support answered that question. Because I use an iPhone, and I use screen time to increase security, I had bluetooth sharing disabled. Once I enabled bluetooth sharing I was able to connect, and save the settings so then i could disable bluetooth sharing and still connect.The handlebars have enough room to mount a rear view mirror on one side and another accessory on the other side.I feel this is the safest, fastest and best made scooter I could have bought. iScooter sells replacement tires and batteries and other parts, so it should be easy to maintain and I expect it to last quite a while.UPDATE I reached out to iScooter support to inquire about buying a spare tire, because I like to be prepared for the bad stuff. I got a prompt response from a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful customer service rep, whose first concern was, did I have a problem? She made it clear that the tires are covered by the warranty, with some reasonable limits. After clarifying that, she gave me the information I was seeking, and even sent me a video link that showed me exactly how to change the drive tire.I was already impressed with my scooter, and after seeing how sincerely iScooter supports their product, I bought a second scooter for my partner. It arrived earlier than promised, and was just as impressive and perfectly manufactured as my first scooter.Not only does iScooter make a quality product that in my experience is the best scooter I have had, but their customer service team is the best one I have ever dealt with. This is a company that makes a quality product and supports it like all companies should support their products! After buying two scooters from them, I will say that you can buy with confidence from iScooter!
I bought this scooter for my husband who is 6”2 and 205lbs. This scooter holds both of our weight capacity. Both of use rode on the scooter together and it still went really fast!!! I’m 160lbs at 5”6 (Not recommended to others can be dangerous-we did it at our own risk) I gifted him this for Christmas. When I bought this scooter I didn’t realized it was going to be so huge, it’s not commuting friendly it’s exhausting to take it on the bus or train (we live in NYC) which I totally get why it’s a very big and powerful scooter that goes extremely fast, the battery doesn’t die fast and it’s great for off roading. We eventually kept the scooter of course it was a done deal that we decided we shouldn’t give up. Apart from the whole commuting thing I would give this scooter 100/10 because it can tolerate a large weight capacity and still have speed power. I highly recommend to anyone that’s looking for a powerful scooter to do food delivery or even casual riding. The scooter came in great condition and customer service offered a $50 refund just for us to keep it. This is an exceptional branded scooter and you shouldn’t look past it everything works to perfection the braking system is safe and the scooter bed is very wide so if you have big feet then don’t look past this scooter. Assembly was A+++ very easy to put together and TALL PEOPLE THIS SCOOTER IS REALLY FOR YOU. And for the price it’s a steal
This scooter is pretty slick! I just passed the 400 mile mark and other than a very small amount of battery sag it's still as good as it was on mile 1!There's a lot to like about this scooter and only a few things that are less than awesome. So pros and cons:PROS: This scooter is definitely well made with sturdiness and longevity in mind. The locking mechanism is solid and easily or into place quickly, as well as taken out when you need to fold the scooter. I'm 215lbs and it carries my weight well reaching 24 mph (top speed) even on pretty steep hills. The lights are bright (head, tail, under, all of them!) and all parts of the scooter function as they should. The tires have held up amazingly and the size of the scooter is perfect for a 5'11" male or smaller (handle bar height is adjustable.CONS: Let me begin by saying only one of these really really falls into this category. The other two are just... Inconvenient i guess you would say. So let's get the big one or of the way.... Battery size. It has a 48v 10ah battery and they boast that it'll take you a maximum of 25 miles per charge. Well as mentioned before in 215lbs and riding with a mix of turbo for about 5 miles and the rest of the battery life riding on standard i consistently only get 13 miles from full to empty. And i live in Florida so it's definitely not because of steep hills or gusty wind. I'm my own humble opinion the battery should have been at the least 15ah, but more likely closer to 20ah and this scooter would be nearly perfect. Im getting ready to build my own battery and add it as a secondary to get a little more mileage out of it.Next is the rear shocks... They have been closed to useless from day 1 and bottom out on any kind of bump be it small or large. I haven't going an upgrade for them yet but I'm looking.Ok, last con would have to be the slowest of the 3 speed... Eco. Eco registers at 10mph, Standard at 18mph, and Turbo at 24mph. Honestly i have tried to make myself ride out in Eco and it's slow, like walking slow! I never can make myself keep it on for more then a min and i tell myself and the blinking 1 bar left in the display that is rather walk than ride this slow before putting it back into Standard.So that's it. I know there are a few points i should cover like brakes(power full enough that I've take 3 separate over the handle bar dives by engaging the front brake too fast?), cruise control ( very simple and effective) , and the app ( could also be on the cons list) but really I've said all that needed to be said about this awesome scooter.Btw if anyone knows how to make it faster please post it on YouTube or Reddit. Look thanks
FANTASTIC scooter!!Our 14 year old rides this several miles a day and it's fast, durable, well made and reliableI am 205lbs and have ridden it several times up and down hills and it's powerful and greatMaybe not for a smaller inexperienced kid
The scooter itself has been great since we purchased it. It is really fast going close to 25mph. I like that it folds easily and can be transported. The buttons and controls are intuitive. The battery lasts much longer than we typically need and we have yet to ever fully drain it. We’ve gotten at least 5 miles on the turbo mode and it still had 50% battery.My biggest gripe is their customer service. After 1 summer of use and maybe 20 partial charges the charger failed. I contacted customer service who said I was just outside of warranty and after jumping through all their hoops and sending videos and evidence their fix was for me to purchase a new charger. I’ll add the charger stayed 100% in a fully enclosed garage and was never exposed to water or anything that might damage it. Seems there is some defect with the actual block but nothing I can fix myself. Very disappointed with the company that doesn’t stand behind their product.Quick update. Company did end up sending me a replacement charger which works great.Would have been happier if I didn’t have to deal with all the hassle on the front end but in the end they did make it right.
