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.

No more car payment, ever. This thing takes me all over town. The stock battery works for my situation. I have a 5 mile round trip. I take two kids and backpacks. I know this is not recommended, but we get along fine. The charger I received was not working, idky. My older daughter’s pocket mod charger did get it to full power.I am very impressed with the performance.I was not impressed with some of the bolts, particularly the cargo rack ones. Even cross install didn’t help. They stripped anyway. We have so much hardware from junkyards though. Most JY sell nuts n bolt by the bucket, if you get in a pinch.I put it together. I’m not mechanically inclined. If you’ve ever tweaked your bicycle, as a child, you can assemble. It comes 90% complete, anyway. My hub tightened everything to specs though. He is very safety conscious.Some things to note, plug it in straight away, before assembling. It will give you a jump on charging. Borrow a small socket set. The included tools are difficult to work. Cross install good bolts to all areas. You will jump back n forth between hardware to capture the best grip (google).All in all I’m buying another. I have no idea why razor doesn’t make the vintage style pocket mods in 16+ at 48v. I would love another look to add to my collection.I have no problem with spending on scooters, because I have no insurance or car payments or tag fees or registration fees. No risk of a traffic ticket, and money gone. I am free to go where I want without any input from anyone. My town has pro-scooter, pro-cart, & pro-environment laws.Razor is changing lives with these Metros. I am swapping the batteries next weekend with 15ah for extended range, not speed, speed improvements take a different motor, no thanks.I want it to be 100% my transportation. I’m excited to continue my journey as an eco conscious person. Why are American cars so enormous and expensive? I’m over all the problems with vehicles.I’m in love with it.Modification has been a seat on the cargo area. Hub bolted it like the rapture is coming. I bought seat thru Amazon too. I’m waiting on my headlights and blinkers.I’m going to update this review with a video very soon.Sorry if this is hard to understand. I deleted a bunch. I’m dyslexic, and I hope the utility, value for price, and quality comes through.5 stars on for transportation1 star on nuts and bolts5 stars on meets or exceeds expectationsI was expecting pocket mod size. I got a full size machine. I’m blown away.Loads of time has passed. I still love it.

I was very hesitant about buying this scooter.....AGAIN....because I purchased the same scooter a couple of years ago, from a bicycle shop in town. I brought it home, and it never ran. So I loaded it back up and returned it to the store, they kept it a week, and said the controller was bad. So it was going to be a couple of months before I could get it replaced so I asked for my money back, and they returned it. So, that being said, I was afraid to order another one, although, I have had great luck with Amazon making things right, when something isn't right so I gave it a shot. And I followed the instructions of not riding it until I had charged it the amount of time they said to charge it before riding it for the first time. There are red signs all over it, saying DO NOT RIDE IT WHEN YOU GET IT, UNTIL YOU HAVE CHARGED IT SO MANY HOURS. And it has run great, I have had it about a month, I ride it every day and charge it once a week, and so far, it has not left me stranded, although I haven't really monitored how far the battery will go. I just ride it around in my neighborhood for fun. I weigh 195 and it seems to carry my weight fine. My husband now wants to get one to go riding with me. I also bought a bigger basket for it, so my 8 lb. dog could ride with me. The basket that came with it, is super small. Overall, I am very happy with this scooter. Oh, and the replacement batteries are much cheaper than electric bike batteries and in the video they look very easy to change also.

The battery light turns on after a mile. Though it should get 8 miles.. or was it 12? it gets about 3 miles before it dies. It's very quiet though and for getting around a small town I love it.
