Magnum Premium S1+ Adult Electric Scooter – 500W, Large Capacity 48V/10A Lithium Battery – Easy Fold-n-Carry Design

I've put 100 miles on this scooter. I'm 188lbs. I use if for last mile commuting in San Francisco which has enormous hills and terrible asphalt, steel plates in the roadway due to construction and steel rails all over the place for trains.The Good:Torque. What you're secondarily paying for. The motor is powerful and silent. It can pull me up a 15% grade at a walking pace. If you're 150 lbs you can probably expect 18% grade climbing at a walking pace. Honestly, it's more fun than it should be to kick your way up steep hills with the motor at full at silly speeds. On flat ground it can haul me around at 22 mph flat out.Range: What you're primarily paying for. On flat ground I have no doubt that you can do 20 miles. Stunning, actually.Materials: Everything is aluminum as verified with a magnet. Build quality and fit and finish is excellent.Features: Everything you could want excepting a front headlight but with the USB charger right there plugging in a light that can be charged is no big deal. The folding is fast and secure and easy.The bad:The brake is terrible in that it's cable pull and has a tortured friction-full path through the chassis. Caliper and lever are cheap and Pull is incredibly stiff, woody and the difference between not enough brakes and locking the rear is fairly impossible on steep grades. The good news is that it's a standard mountain bike brake mount and rotor. I changed the brake system to a hydraulic shimano deore xt caliper and lever set (same stock rotor) and the difference is night and day. Honestly it should come from the factory with this as a $100 option. If you don't have big hills the stock brake may be ok but if you have large hills than it's a safety hazard. To be fair, you can actually get a brake upgrade kit for a couple hundred (not on Amazon there is a youtube video of the procedure) and then pay an IMAX dealer to install it but that brake is crap compared to battle tested $100 Schimano mountain bike stuff.Design issue: The kickstand should not be a protrusion underneath the frame. Every time you need to slide the scooter over a curb you grind the kickstand. I'm wearing the aluminum away on the kickstand by doing this. The kickstand should have been mounted to the side, underneath the deck overhang, safely out of the way. There should also have been a curb slider wedge right before the rear wheel so sliding over curbs is a non destructive event. A fair number of kickstand replacement hits exist on Google too. A pity, this.Weight: Yes, it's heavy and unwieldy. It's heavier than it seems due to it's unwieldiness. It feels more fatiguing than carrying a 45lb dumbbell around due to your grip on non-cylindrical stem and the inertia, balance and leverage of that motor. Not a big deal unless you have to fold and carry for some distance. If you do, you better be strong and have a firm handshake. Some provision for luggage like towing would have been a nice feature for many that need to take it deep inside large buildings. You can grab it by the front wheel and sort of do this but you're palming the tire (and the road grime) and the steering flops around on you. Not ideal.As is a common problem with many scooters/bikes were there is a head bearing and a very long lever afterwards. There is some squeaking from the stem. Annoying but nothing unsafe about it.I don't like asymmetrical grips and know few that do. I bought some ODI Mushroom grips and replaced them. Since I'm a motorcycle guy I moved the throttle and the new brake to the right side of the bars together and the left is just a grip.Overall I'm very happy with the machine. I'd buy it again in a minute. If you need range and big hill climbing power this is the only game in town at this price point.

After doing a ton of research, after asking lots of questions in electric scooter chat rooms, and after watching review and demo videos very closely, i bought this scooter. My office is 3.7 miles from the train station. But that 3.5 miles would require waiting for/taking 2 buses, which add on an extra 25-45 mins, plus an extra 10-minute walk from the bus to the door of my office. On this baby, I'm train to door in 15 minutes. I tried a bike, but ended up showing up for work sweaty as hell. Is it a little heavy? Yes, at just under 40 lbs, it's not light. But I've already gotten used to carrying it on/off the train, and up/down the stairs at the station. If i want to add an extra 3 mins to my commute, I'll walk it to the elevator and not carry it. I can put it underneath a folding seat, or balance it on the back wheel between my legs and there's still plenty of room for another passenger to sit next to me on the train. Riding in downtown Chicago is perilous-lots of traffic, lots of potholes, lots of metal grates to drive over that can't be avoided-no problem with the inflatable tires. in fact, the model with the solid tires I tried...every tiny crack in the street or sidewalk set my teeth and internal organs chattering and bouncing. There may come a day when I get a flat, but I've already put over 60 miles on this thing over all the aforementioned obstacles plus train tracks and a whole lot more, and it's still humming along like a dream. This product is as (or most likely more) solid and well-made than anything compatible power-wise, size-wise, or price wise. I'm 6' 240, and on straightaways, I'm cookin' at 21mph. big hills? that's another story. But unless you get a 1000 watt motor (the battery for which would be quite a bit heavier), this is what it is. Nobody's paying me a dime-I just love this machine, and it's gotten me away from a 1.5 hour (x2 per day) driving commute to work every day and on to public trans. And beyond the fun and convenience, everyone asks about it and everyone wants to try it out. If you're looking for "last mile transportation" (somewhere between a half mile and 4 miles), I would highly recommend this machine. .UPDATE: It's now nearly 2 years later. I have 1500 miles on it. Is it perfect? No. But as I predicted, it's kept me out of the car and out of horrendous traffic (by taking the train to work) 6-9 months out of the year. I've replaced the brake pads and (just last week) the front wheel. As others have mentioned, the brakes aren't incredible, but if you keep them adjusted and maintained, they'll be just fine. 2 years in, and I still love it.

Just as expected. I watched a few reviews online about different brands of electric kick scooters and this one was my choice. I must say I'm very please with the product and customer service as well. I weight 180lbs and this little speed demon takes me up to 22mph no problems. I take a few steep hills(around 35 degrees) on my daily commute and although it does slow down to about 10-12mph, yet it will not stop or require further assistance. Feels very sturdy and it is a bit on the heavy side. I'd say around 40lbs but I'm willing to deal with that. It feels, run, and looks like a high quality/premium product. Be advice some times when you fold it and unfold it the brake cable might leave the disc brake slighty clamped and when you turn it on it'll give you an error message. Just apply and let go of the brake lever a couple times and problem solved. I contacted the seller asking about this small issue and I got a quick and prompt response. Yeah the price it's a little high but... You get what you pay for and it's definitely worth it.

I had a few issues out of the box with this scooter, but once I learned how to do some adjustments on my own and after getting in a new part that was defective I am pretty pleased! One word of caution, the powder coating can scratch off, so be careful while changing a tire, etc. to keep your scooter looking like new.This is very well built and has a ton of power for such a small package.I love the five different speed levels. I use a slower setting when riding on sidewalks with my dog in tow and it works great.It folds up easily and can be carried or rolled if needed. It easily fits in a trunk.Overall, this is a neat little scooter with a lot of power that gets me around well and yes, it's a good bit of fun!
