Ive been thinking about buying an electric scooter but with both california and the federal govt close to passing tax incentives for buying an ebike i might look in that direction instead

I got one of these from camping world out of the whole gotrax debacle.
Overall, it's pretty meh.
The Segway G30P blows it out of the water in every way (the Segway is also $600 more expensive).
I haven't GPS tested the speed yet, but it's nowhere near as fast as the G30P's 18mph. I'd guess 13-15mph at the most.
It struggles up hills.
The electronic brake leaves a lot to be desired. If you need to stop quickly you better be ready on the rear fender foot-brake.
At sub $300 it's probably still a deal, I use mine for running around the paddock at the racetrack and it beats the hell out of walking 5-10 miles a day.
That being said, I've still got a deal alert set for the G30P and if it hits <$700 this one is getting relegated to loaner duty.

I have had this electric scooter for more than a year and I am happy with it. My friends tried riding on mine and they became really interested in buying one that I am actually sending this link to them right now.
I also have tried the GoTrax scooters and I feel like this is the more solid build.
Pros:
- 9/10 Soild build. Feels premium and rugged at the same time. High quality materials. Aluminum.
- Bright white LED front light.
- Big tires can go through different terrains. Not on sand though. Offers a smooth ride.
- Non-slippery deck.
- Two ways to brake.
- Well known brand
- I am 190 lbs and it feels fast enough for me. I probably don't need it to be faster.
- Easy to fold with just a pull of a knob.
- Love the colored battery light indicator.
- Packaging is great and setting up/assembling is a breeze with English notes and manual. Took me less than 10 minutes. All tools came inside the box.
Cons:
- No speed indicator. No screen. (Which can be positive. To avoid glass parts)
- Personally, this feels heavy at 24 lbs.
- I wish the neck can be folded or shortened. Or it would be great if the handles can also fold in so I can fit this in better in the trunk.
- Expensive. At this price point though, it is at a really good price.
- Other people are right. Uphill can be a challenging.
- Not really a con but the charger can be improved.
- I wish the wires on the handles are not as exposed as they look.

But buyer beware they have a notorious cancellation fee (8%) and restocking fee (25%) and credit card charge will be from a foreign country. So, use a credit card with no Foreign transaction fee.

Although I haven't used this model, my experience has been that any 250 watt scooter is garbage. Definitely go for a 350 watt. I would take a 350 watt Chinese knockoff over 250 watt name brand.
