your ride
Ok a little update since I just got it this week.<br />1. It is FAST!<br />2. IT CAN  ALSO GO VERY SLOW AS WELL.<br />3. Be very careful on sidwalks! Watch for curbs! (on the side of your scotter too! Can tip very easily if your rear wheel falls off one.<br />4. It is very derible!<br />5. You will get to your destination faster then you realize it.<br />6. The sispention is so-so, you will feel the bumps and drops harder then you should with the use of the word sispention.<br />7. Well worth the money.<br />8. Best of all it’s a low profile scooter. Not flashy like the more exspencive models.<br />9. You need to charge it before you use it.<br />10. Not recamended for hilly locations.<br />11. Does not come with rear view Mirrors. (sold sepretly.<br />12. The EW20 does not seem to be set up to except the cute little “chalanger” Trailer.<br />13. Buy the long cable and a pad lock for it. (a must)<br />14. It would be wise to have head gear if you plan to go 15mph all the time.<br />15. If  you live in Florida. Watch out for the car’s when you in the crosswalk. They don’t care if your in it. They will zoom in front of you!  Meaning<br /> cars have the right of way. (idiots)<br />well that’s all for now.. updat: The EW20 is NOT a Sr. friendly.  It is very unstable. Thow a lot of fun Ride on. It is dangerous.  At top speed of 15 MPH + (free wheel)  you can easly tip it.  The center of gravity is way off. You need to cut the seata post to lower it low enough to fix it.  The women you see on it in the park? She is like 5ft tall or less.  It is not for tall people over 5’6” you knees will stick out. There is not enough leg/foot room for anyone taller.  It also should of never been madeTo be portable. It is way too big to put in a standerd trucnk. It is silly. Getting parts for it other that a battery or charger is non exsistent.  You have to call a qualified rediesterd rapair Co. to come out  (of no where) to fix it. The warenty does not cover labor or mods.<br />As an owner:  I’vve persnolized it a lot!  Took off the basket it blocks the tail lights and turn signals.  Was not made to pull the chalanger traier (it was discutinude) till further notice.  I had to add a 18”x 1” PVC pipe and a small hitch  ball on the seat post to hook it up. Put a breaklight under the seat. No turne signales.. remember this is a 48v scooter. The handlebar post comes loss do to flips and cubs and the likes. No mater how tight u put the breaket. Its going to have play in it.  I am not trying to put this  scooter to shame. It is A LOT of fun to ride on. Your insurance won’t pay for it. Do to its outdoorsy nature.  Its more for the young/mid lifeers.. and for us who have bad knees who can’t or just won’t want to walk that exstra mile to the stores or in my case a dialysis center.  Not for grass, not for dirt, gravel OR Rain.  You will just burn out the hub.<br />I hope this anwerd a lot of your Questions.  Bottom line I love the thing!  We just need parts and the likes to keep it going and looking nice.<br /><br />OH! And yes you can preform a panic stop!! It does skid thogh..<br />For safty do NOT make a U turn when it is on the fastest setting!<br />1st setting up to 6MPH, 2nd 10 MPH 3rd 15MPH.  Good luck and have fun!<br />UPDATE 9/19<br />alright, reality check. EWheels just sells scooters among other rides.. they do NOT suport their products gracefully with out a credit card number! said this before. if u breke down. your stuck. they offer 175 bucks to get someone to your place to look at it.  (not going to happen) your best shot is going to a local mobility scooter repair shop. (no names0<br />you can't find parts for this. maybe battaries and charger. (to get the battaries out.. tip it on it side and use plyers on the  batary post and pull) i just had to change them. do to it not reatching top speed. guess what? that was not the problem. so soething ells is wrong. sigh. still can't find parts not even on here.<br />BOTTOM LINE. DON'T BUY THIS. IT WON'T LAST. WAIT A FEW YEARS TILL YOU START SEEING PARATS TURN UP. OR YOU TUBE "tm" VIDSS SHOWING YOU HOW TO FIXX THEE EWHEELS.  its a damn shame.
