EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter – Padded Seat, Wide Bamboo Deck, 16" Air-Filled Tires, 500w High-Torque Motor, Up to 18 mph, 12-Mile Range, Rear-Wheel Drive

I had owned this scooter for a little while now. Overall I have had a good experience. This electric scooter offers a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation, with a unique feature that allows you to bring your small dog along for the ride. However, there were a couple of areas where I felt it could be improved.Let's start with the positives. The scooter is undeniably fun, especially fun on fresh cut grass and having the option to bring your furry friend along in the basket at the back adds an extra level of enjoyment. For my personal experience my dog loved the crate we put in place instead of the basket mind you he is a large parsons jack Russel terrier. It's a delightful experience to see your dog's ears flapping in the wind as you zip around the neighborhood. The basket is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a small dog but I put a larger basket to better fit my larger dog this and provides a sense of security with its high walls.In terms of convenience, this scooter ticks many boxes. The electric motor ensures a smooth and quiet ride, and the battery-powered operation eliminates the need for constant refueling. The adjustable seat is comfortable, allowing for longer journeys without fatigue. The scooter's overall build quality is sturdy, and it handles well on smooth surfaces, making it suitable for leisurely rides in the park or on bike paths.However, I did notice a drawback that could be improved—the battery life. While the scooter's battery is decent, it falls a bit short compared to some other models on the market. Having a removable battery this particular model has a battery life of about two years, this could make this product more versatile. This is just one of the few drawbacks from this amazing scooter. For longer commutes or extended rides, it would be beneficial to have a longer-lasting battery to avoid the inconvenience of frequent recharging. An extended battery life and removable battery would greatly enhance the overall experience and make it more practical for daily use.Furthermore, something that could be improved is having a charge level percentage display. With no indicator of charge level it can be hard to gage how much battery you have left during a ride. Even though the light will turn yellow when your battery is getting low I still think that having a charge percentage would make this scooter better.Finally, If you want this scooter I think you are making the right decision if you don't get well, its your choice.

i ordered this to get around while nursing a broken foot - it is a LOT of fun! I live in a hilly neighborhood, and this did well, though the battery began showing low after about 45 minutes. Still pretty good for the hills. It may only go 20mph, but that seems pretty fast with the wind in your face. Assembly was easy, though you really have to crank down hard on the seat clamp bolt to prevent the seat from dropping, as it did on me as I left the driveway. A quick-clamp would be handy here, but once it's set you're in good shape. The charging port could be more accessible, as it's pretty well hidden under the foot board, and everything is black down there so it's hard to see. The charger cord could also be more robust - but the scooter itself is very well built. Might buy another for my wife, as this doesn't easily travel at walking speed. Add a drink holder, headlight/taillight, and bell (none of those are included), and you're all set!

I was not sure what to expect with this scooter. I've watched many reviews of youtube videos and such.My only critique about this scooter is the weight. IT IS HEAVY! I do not recommend this if you have to carry it up the stairs every use (unless it is part of your workout).Pros:Very easy to operateParts are readily available from local bike shops/retailers. They are literally standard bike parts.Easily upgradeablePowerful enough for most use. Its quick and fast enough to get around city streets.18mph top speed. 21mph on a good day (level street, no wind, no hills, etc)Cons:VERY HEAVY!!! its about 80lbs +/-... plus its awkward shape to pick upI wish the range is longer. in reality, you may get around 10 miles average range for this E scooterCharging takes longer than i would wantLED Battery level indicator could use a lot of improvement. Its wrong most of the time (dont trust it, not accurate)Did i mention it is really HEAVY?Overall, i strongly recommend this E scooter. It isn't the best looking nor the fastest, but it does get the job done.NOTE:I plan on upgrading the battery to lithium in the near future. It is to add more range, less weight, and faster top speed.I hope you find this review helpful. Have fun!
