Pro-tip, get Slime which should help reduce/prevent punctures.
Edit: Seems the front 12" tire can't remove valve core so isn't slime compatible. Rear tire valve core removal works fine and was able to add slime.

Cons:
1) According to one reviewer, this thing is super heavy. So if you run out of power home, no chance you'll be using it as regular kick scooter home rest of the way. Probably have to lock it up and drive back for it lol.
2) One Amazon reviewer said if a wheel goes flat, there's no way to change a tube. You have to order a new wheel from Razor for $50.

not that great of a deal
There's too many cons here.
There's a place for SLA, I use it for other stationary less stressful things. There is No Way I would want it for powering a moving vehicle just like I wouldn't want it for powering a lawn mower.

Nice thing about this scooter is that it is brushless. It should have a lot of instant get up and go.
So, not impossible, and now I have a much lighter, lithium scooter with longer range and slightly more speed. Something to think about - just run the SLA's into the ground and replace with lithium when the time comes! Of course, you know, don't attempt if you're not mechanically minded and do so at your own risk, yadda yadda yadda. I'm just saying you're not stuck with SLA and there are upgrade avenues down the road. Maybe more advice if you've already bought one... if you've not bought yet, obviously go lithium from the start!

I'd skip this. The razor hover 1 is a better deal. Half the weight, higher weight capacity, similar performance.

If you wanted, you could but a drop-in lithium ion replacement battery that have built in controllers to emulate lead-acids and save 2/3 on weight
But all of this talk about lead acid batteries being a stone age technology that we're supposed to avoid like the plague and a no-brainer deal killer are hard for me to understand. From a design standpoint, for this application, lead acid batteries seem like a reasonable engineering and cost solution . Not sure about the less range observation, but interested in what that's based on
