This is a review of my 350W/500W electric scooter. It takes about 4-8 hours to charge and it can go up to 60km on one charge or 37 miles. The max weight it can hold is 330 pounds and it goes 32kmph. When your on it its way faster than it sounds or looks. It lasts me half the day when i charge it. when people say it hates hills...they are wrong...it gopes up most hills for me but it goes just a little slower. If you have any questions just leave them in the comment section below and i will be happy to answer :) The bike weighs 200 pounds i beleive.It has alot of storage for jackets food helmets etc.... The headlights are nice and are not lacking brightness. It has a built ni alarm too! Please Subscribe and Thanks for Watching! :)

i have a Freedom e-bike. the BIG problem is the 48 volt battery I have to drag the battery from bike in basement up to my apt. to charge. But the new battery got lower and lower in power till now it only goes 3 miles on charge. I don't know whether i was supposed to leave it on charge or what? Anyone got any advice?

@Joesolo13 7 жыл бұрын

janet ginger some chargers don't automatically stop when the battery is charged, so could be killing it that way. also if you're fully discharging it regularly that can wear it down. charging it to 90% and only discharging to 40 or 50% extend their lifespan

I just got this scooter and was wondering what he difference is between high/low speed.With the switch in any direction it still goes around 30 mph. Thanks

@victorvondoom3933 7 жыл бұрын

Low speed is good for long distance ( Normal mode ) & to conserve the battery power. Hi speed is for ( Fast Maximum speed mode ) and in doing it for a long period of time, it will decrease the battery power tremendously. Only recommend doing this maximum speed in 1 person and in a short distance. If by 2 and in a long distant, be prepared to walk and carry home with you. Same principle with the heavy payload.

1 thing to note for people most of the scooters use a standered bulb for all the lights look indo replaceing all the lights with a led bulb it will give you a lot more battery life

@caydn2 9 жыл бұрын

Wow good idea. Never thought of that

@vorkev1 9 жыл бұрын

Caydn Johnson Rose most people do not. a good thing to note to I the cooler a battery is the better it will perform and the longer it will last I no in the past on a old scooter I hade I vented the battery compartment and made sure the motor was having good air flow and gained around %5 more life and with the led replacement you can get as much as a 30% longer lasting batterys depending on the size of the bulbs in the scooter also a good note to rember is the lighter the waght on the scooter the faster you go and the longer the battery life.

@martinrichardson5217 9 жыл бұрын

In the UK it would be classed as a moped without the pedals. So you will need to register it and get number plates and have a licence/CBT and insurance etc, And if its 3 years old MOTs also.

No license needed, but you have to be 16 and MUST wear a helmet. and depending on the electric bicycle bylaws of your city, you may also be required to have the pedals attached to the bike at all times. It's a good idea to research all the laws of operating an electric bike before making a purchase. Hope this helps :)

Anyone comparing this to a moped is a fool. This does not require plates, insurance, or dirty petrol! Also, few people are aware that in Ontario you could be charged for driving with out insurance if you remove/don't install the pedals. It's causes the bike to fall into a different category of vehicle.
