Just bought this and the manual says the following (it's currently charging so I haven't tested these yet): -Use the red button to change between gears. First gear equals more torque for going uphill, second gear is more speed for straightaways. -To activate cruise control, press the throttle down for 10 seconds. To deactivate, press the throttle or apply the brake.
@@random_fella.17322 Just to follow up, I can validate that the cruise control works and it's awesome. However, I haven't been able to figure out the first gear/second gear setting so I think that one is bunked.
I struggled with the cruise also. But figured out that while I was riding, I kept the throttle held at 12 and didn’t realize that I had engaged the cruise until I hit the break. I wasn’t holding the throttle down like I had been so I didnt notice that it was keeping speed. I kept trying to “push” what looked like a button but it’s not. Just a nice place to rest your thumb. Will be perfect for the campground. If I want something more, I will ride my e-bike.
What i found, is its a bit disapointing for an adult, but as a kids scooter at 10 years old its insane. My daughter who is almost 10 hasnt been brave enough to get it up to speed yet and at just 70 pounds it crawls up mountains with her on it.
If you’re not going to be ripping it up hills then it’s fine for an adult and priced low. Just know it’ll slow down to about 5 mph or so on big inclines
I just got one today from Walmart. The manual mentions switching gears low and high. I wonder if the newer versions just do it automatically because I can't tell. The manual doesn't really clarify how it's done?
I have connected mine to a timer so as to not overcharge the battery. The kind that you can get to make a lamp turn off and on while you're away on vacation or something.
Thank you for the review. Love mine . I’m 5.1 and 125. Its perfect for me. Thank you again

I didn't know that 💀

@@redbirdsjunkie alr but I don't think I can even use cruise control bc I mostly use mine on dirt gravel and grass and it's not very smooth
@redbirdsjunkie the older models (red cable ones) have that feature the new blue ones dont from research on them
@@alphonsoskate5193 Ah ok gotcha. I also read somewhere yesterday that the newer models have this automatically enabled, not sure if that’s true 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah the cruise set is t the best. It’ll beep at you when it’s set.

Thanks for the Review, how much is the Batterie loaded when its new from Store?
It showed full bars but I charged it before riding.
Convinced me not to get it because I live in a hilly area. Thanks!
Yeah may not be best there. Get something with more power.

I heard the newer ones released don't have a gear switch it's already let's you go top speed which is 15.5 mph
Correct its to switch for hills
Great review
Thanks for the kind words
It says it has 3 gears in the manual have you figured this feature out?
Did you ever figure this out?
how long have you been using it. I cannot turn it on after a month.
Quite a while.
Im only 80 pounds and have gone over 20 mph!
What type of screw do you need to open the charging thing?
No screw
Is I suitable for tall people ? Are the handle bars tall enough ? I’m 6’5
The bars might be a little low but not sure you’d notice it much.
Is it just an electric scooter or can u still use it old school manually..?
Electric
Does it have regenerative system
No
I rode my daughters. I'm 290 +/- and it easily hits 15mph .. but I can figure out how to set the cruise below 10mph
Nice. 15mph is still pretty fast.
yeah thats the max speed
How do you take off speed themometer
You cant
Got my son this scooter and it's broken already 😂 It got wet and currently researching a solution.
Yeah. They aren’t really made to get wet.
Is it really fast?😐
Define really fast
@@DIYReid huh🙂😊
What’s fast to you.
How do you charge it dude?
With a charger.
But really you use the charger to plug it into the wall.
I have connected mine to a timer so as to not overcharge the battery. The kind that you can get to make a lamp turn off and on while you're away on vacation or something.
Ooh yea totally easy fix
i just wanted to say that you can ride in this in rain and through deep puddles you will be fine
Can you? Sure. Should you? Probably not.
@@DIYReid it never did anything to me and i’ve been doing it forever
@H3N3 that’s good
@@DIYReid yeah but when i did it when it was super cold it froze and my brakes and kickstand got stuck but it still worked
