URBANMAX C1 S Electric Scooter with Seat, Foldable Scooter for Adults with Dual Shock Absorbers, 450W Portable Scooter 25 Miles Range, 18.6 Mph Commuter E-Scooter with Basket Max Load 265 lbs

UPDATE: Sadly I have to return this scooter. It was SO fun to ride, but the flat tires were putting me in the poor house. I got 3 flats. (No cargo aboard, riding on sidewalks.) Always on the rear hub, which the bike shop charges twice the price to change, because of the extra work of the electric hub. $52 just to change the tube. I even had them put in tire sealant, but then I just got a bulging blow out (luckily the sealant stayed within the tire. The shop said the cheap tire was compromised and would need to be replaced too.I thought I’d put on a solid tire, but that requires a special machine to put on, and no one in my area does it for tires this small. So I can either spend $50 a week (and 4 days without the scooter)for the shop to constantly repair the tubes, or return the scooter. I’m hoping to find a seated scooter that comes with solid tires. Do NOT get a scooter with pneumatic tires. Trust me, get one with solid tires.But A+ to Amazon, which let me return the scooter one day past the return window. That made a bad experience a little more tolerable.ADAPTED ORIGINAL REVIEW:I had high hopes for this scooter, and it exceeded my expectations. It is a blast to ride. I don’t have a car right now, but I am really enjoying riding this around, and when I get a car, I will probably still ride it for fun. My teenagers enjoy riding it too.Although I’m a little over the weight limit, it handles me well, plus up to 20 lbs of groceries. It doesn’t affect the speed (except up hills), but you’ll probably only get 14 miles of range, *without* using the lights. I wouldn’t go over 300 lbs total load with the scooter.I attached a metal grid with zip ties to the front end of the basket, so that I can still lift up the rear of the grid to get to the basket contents (I kind of use that as a trunk for emergency bike supplies). Then I used bungees to attach a black milk crate to the heavy wire grid, as well as to the back part of the basket, for security. It works great! I also bungee and a slim plastic black basket between the seat pole and the milk crate, to keep the crate far enough back to leave room for my behind, which overhangs the seat. That gives me a little extra storage or things like folded, insulated bags that I use to keep groceries cold.The ride is very smooth, the motor is extremely quiet, and it gives a comfortable ride. Unfortunately, the seat is a lot less comfortable than it looks. [UPDATE: lowering the seat more than you would think to helped with this, and greatly redcued knee and back pain.] I was surprised at how uncomfortable it was. It’s OK for a quick ride around the block, but if you are riding across town, it’s not at all comfortable. I even added a Schwinn gel pad, which seemed good at first, but after a couple of miles, not much better. I would recommend switching out the seat if you are using this for more than a short casual joyrides.I still have more testing to do before I can see how far you can go on a charge. [UPDATE: the battery drains fast once you get to 3 bars. I don’t go more than 14 miles.] So far, I am pretty impressed with its performance, considering that it is overloaded just with me on it. Also bear in mind that I live in a town that is fairly flat. With my weight, going up steeper hills isn’t an option. I have encountered a couple of very short, steeper grades, and I get off and walk it because it feels like it’s too much for the bike, and sometimes it just can’t do it anyway.Going on gravel or mulch, or using the onboard lights drains the battery a LOT quicker.I would highly recommend getting an extra set of lights (headlight and tail light). The onboard lights are a big drain on the battery it seems, and, my one disappointment with the scooter is that it did not come with the slim, long, headlight attached high on the steering column, as shown in pictures. Instead, it came with a round light, mounted very low, which helps you see the road, but makes you a lot less visible to oncoming cars. Also, the tail light is shown as being attached to the back of the basket in pictures, which would make a lot more sense, but it is not. It is mounted just under the seat, which is completely useless if you have anything in your basket. This is why I recommend a separate set of headlight and tail light. You can mount the headlight to your handlebar to make you more visible to oncoming cars, and the tail light to the back of the basket, or even better, to the back of any crate you might attach on top of the basket. this gives much better visibility, and it means that you can use those instead of the onboard lights (the onboard tail light will still light up whenever you stop, day or night, whether you have the lights turned on, or not), and this will help your battery last longer. If your aftermarket lights run out of juice, you can always use the onboard lights at that point in time.One thing that is important to mention that if you run out of juice, you can still easily push the scooter home. But if you get a flat tire, it will NOT roll. End of story. You will have to call a friend or an Uber to pick you up (probably an Uber XL).I like the fact that it has a slow start feature, so you never need to worry about accidentally hitting the throttle and having the scooter take off, out from underneath you. The one downside to this is when you need to cross a busy intersection. I found that in my small city, which is not bike-friendly, people are even less friendly to you in a scooter. They don’t see you as well, they are not looking for you, and they are for some reason even less patient with you. so when I have to cross a busy intersection, I use the walk light, like a pedestrian, watch like a hawk for drivers almost driving into me, and I usually use my feet to push the scooter to get it, going a little quicker as I accelerate. Other than crossing busy intersections, the slow start doesn’t bother me (and it’s much better than a scooter that forces you to push up to a certain speed before it will accelerate).The one thing I really wish this scooter head is a key start. I might feel more comfortable locking it up in certain places if I could take the key with me. I don’t understand why this scooter doesn’t have a key start when it’s $250 more than a very similar scooter with a similar frame, that does come with it. It appears that you are paying almost $300 more for fewer features, but with the shocks added (although I really love the shocks, and I highly recommend it or heavier riders, it makes for a comfortable ride.) I was also hoping this would be a bit smaller when you fold down the handlebar and the seat, but it’s still pretty bulky. It’s not hard to get into a car or van trunk, but it’s certainly not going to slide under the bottom part of a grocery cart, like a smaller fold-up scooter without a seat might.Other than my few nitpicky complaints (the uncomfortable seat, a different headlight and tail light than advertised, and the lack of a key start), I think this is a great scooter. [UPDATE: if you don’t mind a lot of flat tires.] If you’re buying this for a younger rider who might not require the spring/shock absorbers or whatever they are called, then you might want to buy a cheaper version of this scooter that is sold under other brand names and save yourself a few hundred dollars, and have a key start. But if you are a heavier rider, and think you might want a shock absorbers, is the scooter should do well for you. I really like it. I would buy it again for myself, but I would buy a cheaper version for one of my skinny teenagers.

The media could not be loaded.  Assembly time: less than 15 minutesThe scooter comes moslty preassembled. I was able to unbox it and have it completely assembled within 15 minutes. The instructions are mostly easy to understand.However, my preassembled parts varied slightly from the instructions. The front wheel rod and retaining clips have assembly instructions in the book. There is also video on Amazon showing this part of the assembly. Mine was already put together all I had to do was loosen the bolt a bit then slip it in, position the clips in the holes then tighten.I did have to unscrew the quick release for the horizontal portion of the handlebar, figure out how to slide the top portion off, place the handle bar on, then reassemble the quick release. Without instructions, I'd say that part was a meduim difficulty task.However, overall it was very easy. I only needed 1 of the 3 included allen wrenches. I assume the others are included for maintenance.Lights and Display:The tail light/reflector operates on a separate AAA battery (included), and it is turned on and off with a button. It is not a brake light.The headlight uses the onboard lithium battery. It is turned on by long pressing the + on the display.The display can be set up to show the current speed in miles per hr plus another data element like a trip odometer or total distance odometer. I was pleasantly surprised to see the mph display since the manual only mentions km/hr. The display also shows an indicator for the headlight, max speed level, and remaining battery charge level.Max speed levels are controlled with the + and - buttons. The options are ECO 12.4 mph (20 km/hr), MID 15.5 mph (25 km/hr), and HIGH 18.6 mph (30km/hr). I assume longer use at higher speeds decreases the range per charge. The listing says the max range is around 25 miles per charge. Its winter here so didn't test that. Brrrr.Maintenance:The instruction book includes information on using and maintaining the scooter. I like that they included detailed instructions on how to properly charge to maintain the battery's life. (Do not store below freezing; do not leave the charger plugged in once a full charge is reached; charge a bit each month; etc.) Information on adjusting the breaks is also included.Use:This thing is fun! It really zips along! The shocks make it a nice smooth ride. It has a nice sized basket for transporting a bag of groceries or other essentials. I like the fold down handle bar and easily removeable/adustable seat. It's easy for me (a middle aged lady) to pick up and put in trunk. It weights about 40 lbs so most adults and older kids shouldn't have too much trouble. I can't speak to durablity as we just recieved it, but so far we love it. Since the price is right, we might have to get a second one!

I arrived with the broken wheel guard and I have seen many people stay on this issue. Can someone help me correctly set the values ​​on the LCD screen because the MID mode does not work for me and the speed that it shows is not correct in terms of the quality of the product for My is very well, only these couple of problems, the rest is very good.
