KUGOO S3

Advantages: For your money - one of the best scooters. I am on the forum of electrical engineering and at the very 3 scooter. This model is 2 pieces. This scooter is a small Chinese lottery, be sure to check all the knots and elements. On the first kugoo S1 I drove 2000 km and the battery died .. the battery can be restored, it is a consumable. Briefly +: 11.5 kg weight, 2 shock absorbers, Easy to fold, stows away in a cover, Relatively convenient in the subway, Good blasting from a standstill, 36v power of the wheel motor - if of course it's honest. The maximum speed at idle speed is 40-42 km / h with the correct settings (read the forums), with a load under the rider's weight of 75-80 kg 32-35 km / h. Now the market offers weaker motors, which idle 34-36 km / h, and under load with the same rider weight, the maximum speed is 26-28 km / h ... Which is also actually not bad. If it suits you, take it boldly. The Kugoo S2-S3 has a brake light, a footrest. Batteries at the time of writing the review on the market are only 6.0 and 6.6. a / h .. the maximum happens at 7.8 a / h .. tested many times, disassembled and tested by craftsmen. All that the sellers and the Chinese write glue stickers on batteries for 8.8 a / h and especially 12 a / h (it will not physically fit into the scooter deck :)) .. this is a marketing move (under the sticker, by the way, another sticker with real battery data ) .. batteries are only assembled to order by craftsmen and services ... So the maximum is 7.8 - 8.0 a / h. Honest 6.6 a / h should be nursed under 18-25 km of run, with flat sections and a rider's weight of 70-80 kg (it all depends on how you press the trigger). The 7.8 a / h battery rolls out accordingly more, maybe 30+ km. In general, if the sellers are honest and the batteries are alive))), then they will roll out their resource from 100% in mixed mode by 25-30 km until they are completely discharged. If you roll out 12-17 km with an average rider weight of 75-80 kg, then you most likely have a 6.0 Ah battery. If everything suits you and especially the minimum mileage .. take it and enjoy life.

Disadvantages: Doesn't like moisture very much. After the purchase, do moisture protection .. sellers often suggest this. You can do it yourself with a sealant or silicone. It is better to wrap and fasten the battery in the compartment so that it does not dangle or be damaged. Over time, the hammers begin to fall out after about 700-800 km of run, but it all depends on how carefully you operate, the quality of your specimen ... they are inserted back easily after falling out (treated with spacers, bolts +1000 km guaranteed .. or replacing the hammers) I did not change the hammers on the first scooter in 2000 km. Some people have fork and damping issues. (A friend has the same scooter, there is no front shock absorption .. it doesn’t steam, it rides like that .. but for some it may be critical .. all this can be fixed either under warranty or by yourself. Check when buying.

Advantages: Agility, appearance, protection from water, tubeless wheels

Disadvantages: People look back

Advantages: Price, folds up quickly, unfolds, handles fold !! Good speed 25-30 km with my 95 kg. The battery lasts for a long time.

Disadvantages: It rattles after 30 km run, the vibration is harsh on cast wheels of 8 inches on tiles and chipped asphalt, but this is not a bicycle for you, with inflatable wheels of 20 inches (I have one, it goes smoothly over bumps). rear lamp, removed free of charge on the guarantee, they put silicone inside. On inflatable wheels, I think it would be better, more comfortable scooters, but as if often owners are looking for new tires. The battery when half discharged, power, speed drops to 20 km / h

Advantages: Big battery, powerful motor, price, cruise control

Disadvantages: The whole shock absorber-wheel-wing assembly creaks

Advantages: I liked what was stated, and separately for ordinary (non-electric) scooters I will add that the paving stones have finally ceased to be a problem (you can not go in zigzags so as not to get into the paving rut, for me it was good news)

Disadvantages: A very non-linear power scale of the gas handle and the recuperator (you have to get used to it, I'll get used to it); when folded, the retracted step tilts the structure a little (in the subway you will have to put it on the floor lengthwise); not the most reliable system for attaching a retractable steering column (I had this on a regular scooter, in the end I fixed it on that with a drill and a screw with a nut); FERALLY badly holding the plug of the charging port; difficult to fold (at least new) - a girl under 50kg cannot cope, especially in soft slippers and the folding pedal is too small in size
