Customer Reviews

A terrific solution!
Love it! I ride it to work everyday! Really strong, well built, and costs a fraction of the TAX on a Segway. Only problem I have is its weight because I live on the second floor and have no elevator.

Mediocre at best
I purchased three of these units. The last one in stock from Wal-Mart (charger failed within 2 hours), the last two in stock from K-Mart,(charger missing on one unit). After a lengthy telephone call to Currie, they agreed to ship two replacement chargers. The units frequently shut off when coasting down hill if the speed goes over the max set by the on board circuit controllers. We are hoping to use them in campgrounds and such. The handlebars fold down and the seat posts come out for travel but the units are a little heavy to lift. For the money, chargers aside, they seem to be a good deal.
In a follow up, Currie sent me two new chargers and the units have worked fine every since.

Great fun
In light of the bad reviews of many of the other scooters, I decided to buy this one locally at Walmart in case I had to take it back. I paid a little bit more but it gave me more piece of mind. At least I could see the box of the one I was buying and could tell it wasn't damaged. This scooter's battery lasts much longer than I had expected. We can ride on it about an hour before it wears out. I weigh about 200 lbs and I was surprised that it had no problem going uphill with me at the wheel. But I would not go below 500 watts. I considered the 1000 watt unit but it's just too expensive. I expected this scooter to be completely silent but it's not. It makes a whining sound when in use. This is FAR better than the gas scooters though. If you get a gas scooter, your neighbors will hate you! At least with this one you are not disturbing the entire neighborhood. The body is made of sturdy metal and it feels well put together. I would stray away from the cheaper brands that are made of plastic. You wouldn't want a scooter cracking and falling to pieces going 15 miles per hour with you or your kid on it! The speed is pretty good as well. It goes about as fast as I would want something of this size to go. The only thing it's missing is a light. You can get one of those for $20. If you're going to drop a few hundred dollars on a scooter, it makes sense to pay a few dollars more for a name brand unit like this one. I am so glad I did.
