-Slickdeal page said it was "AOVOPRO", but when it arrived, it was branded "Joyhis". I have a feeling this listing is similar as the Aliexpress page mentions nothing about AOVOPRO, just that the seller is "AOVOPRO Choice Store". All brands are similar, just white labeled so it's whatever.
-I got the 22ah battery version and paid $189 before tax for it, so $153 would be a great deal. But I have a feeling these will be the 10ah version. Item listing page has all sorts of errors. For example, it claims to have front disc brakes, this scooter does not...just rear disc and an electronic brake in the motor. Honestly, it's fine.
-The speedometer is off on these, it claims 22mph but it's closer to 16mph max.
-I could not find the max speed override even though online claims it works by holding the two buttons. The electronic brake kicks in once you hit "22mph", most evident is when you're going downhill and the scooter goes ABOVE the max speed, the brake auto kicks in if you push on the throttle.
-Someone mentioned 50% of stated range for the battery, I would say it all depends on terrain and weight of the person. I ride in "sport" mode all the time and getting 30-35 miles on it. So I would say you definitely should get half when the battery is new and weather is optimal.
-The vicont app is fine, limited to what's available, there is a "lock" feature but can be defeated if a thief knows the button combo override.
-Cruise control is available, just hold the throttle for 5s and it will engage, brake or throttle cancels cruise control.
Overall, I like this scooter, wish it had a key ignition like my old one but I will live for $200. Really convenient if you are traveling short distances all the time...especially if you happen to be in an urban environment.
I immediately took the belly pan apart to determine what was driving the thing, and, as expected- It's a fairly inexpensive, low spec controller.
The YouFS-V160 350w Brushless Motor controller. This is rated for 48v DC at 15amp drive.
The speed control is covered in some sort of silastic polymer to keep the connections from rattling apart while riding, but doesn't appear to offer any signficant water ingress protection. The battery itself is unfortunately glued into the tray, and since i actually intend to ride it, I did NOT tear into that part of the unit.
Wiring from the battery to the controller uses a standard XT60 style connector (stuck together with more glue). Motor appears to have standard 3x power wires and then halleffect (sensored wires) for the controller to sense position and timing to allow smoother drive.
It rides decently, I'm about 185 and in "S" mode it cruises along with a good clip. I can take fair size grades but it exhibits slowing significantly when momentum is lost.
Enjoy some internal pics, so you don't have to tear your own apart.

Thanks OP!
Now, onto the data! From the point that I was riding it at 5mph to get 400' back home, so basically as drained as possible imo, it took in 0.973kWh of power. For comparison, the $490 48v 20ah e-moto I bought via Ali back in May took exactly 1kWh, so I have a feeling they're fibbing a bit about the 22.5ah claim, and it's really more like 18ah, plus you have to factor in 120v to 56.5v charger inefficiencies, which AI is pretty good at.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank IdahoRoamingGnome
Edit: So fully charged, it will do 19mph when speedo shows 22. Starting to do a range test, but it'll take a few nights.
It came with phone holder and a lock combination which im really impressed.
And yes, 3 modes of course i set it on sport mode and max is 22mph.
And the storage lock box it is amazing lol!
It's MASSIVE and takes every square inch of that compartment. The battery alone is worth around $200

Most importantly, there are no instructions on how to assemble the front wheel, which is where I am stuck.
Please share assembly video. Highly appreciate it!
