Built for more casual riding across the city
The Gyroor X8's build quality is immediately noticeable: hefty, tough feel with very clean assembly and urban friendly features. Its wide foot base with front disc (and rear electronic) brakes afford stability, while the front suspension provides a little comfort over bumpy roads. What helped make this foldable, electric scooter stand out are the clean lines and NFC-controlled motor activation. That means: no physical key needed to enable/disable the scooter -- but that also means one thing: DO NOT LOSE the NFC cards! (You can get a replacement from the manufacturer by providing the serial number, though I have concerns about that: what if the scooter gets stolen and the thief simply tries to obtain a NFC card from Gyroor?) [UPDATE: Customer service told me that you can only obtain a replacement NFC card if you can provide the NFC serial number from the smartphone app or manual.]Left and right turn blinkers, built-in headlight and included, mechanical bell round up the feature list with up to 18.6mph top speed.Compared to my first scooter, the Joyor X5S, the Gyroor is much heavier and larger, making it less portable but is definitely built better with a sleeker look and design. The scooter's handlebar can be folded and latched onto a hook hidden on the deck itself. I wish it could fold entirely flat.The 10" tires (and a spare tube is included) helps make the ride a bit more comfortable.Overall, the pretty powerful, 500W brushless motor with my tested, top speed of about 18.6mph, stability, and comfortable design make the Gyroor X8 a joy to ride — but not so much fun to carry around for a prolonged time with its 55 lb weight. As exciting and powerful as the Gyroor and any other electrical scooter are, make sure they are legal to ride in your area. Most, if not all, jurisdictions prohibit operating an eScooter on the sidewalk.PROS- Quality build-- Clean assembly lines and cable management- Urban-friendly features-- NFC card (2 included) to start/stop electrical system--- NFC can be turned off via the smartphone app. Lost cards can also be replaced by contacting the manufacturer-- Left- and right-turn blinkers-- Headlight that's fairly bright-- Taillight is dimly lit in red and flashes when braking-- Multi-functional LCD--- Speedometer, Odometer, and other data points--- Readable in bright sunlight-- Can be secured via bike chain through the front wheel fork suspension- Powerful, brushless motor: 500W nominal (average), unknown peak (maximum)-- Strong, smooth, satisfying acceleration-- Top speed: 18.6 mph--- Maximum speed can be limited via the smartphone app-- Maximum rider weight: 300 lbs based on past experience with similar eScooters- 468 Wh Battery-- Range: 31+ miles, though 27 mi is more realistic under "real world" use--- Use of electronic brakes, rider's weight, and going uphill will reduce range-- Runtime: 1-3 hours--- Took 4-6 hours to fully charge via AC power supply (42V @ 3A = 126W)- Stable ride-- Wide deck with anti-slip grip tape for better balance and control-- Hefty weight (55 lbs) adds to stability and ruggedness-- 10" tires (Replacement: 10×2.125)--- Larger tires generally offer better comfort and stability--- Schrader valve- Front disc brake-- Be mindful of physics: sudden stops can propel the rider forward in a potentially fatal way-- Rear brake is electronic and will use up some battery- Comfortable- Portable-- eScooter can have its handle folded down towards the deck, lock, and then be carried by the bar- Costs about the same as the Joyor X5S, but has a better, stronger design- Built-in kickstand- Water resistance: IPX7-- Can be submerged up to 1m in water for 30 minutes, but you should not drive it through deep water often- Arrived nearly fully assembled and VERY well-packagedCONS- Neck bar height is not adjustable and may be too short for tall riders- Heavy at 55 lbs- Scooter becomes inoperable without the NFC card to unlock with-- NFC can be turned off via the app-- Replacement card can be ordered through the manufacturer, but how can Gyroor ensure the requestor is not the rightful owner of a stolen scooter? [EDIT: Customer service said that you can only obtain a replacement if you know the NFC serial number. This is only available on the NFC manual or from the smartphone app]- Top speed: 18.6 mph. U.S. law generally limits speed to 15.5 mph, making the Gyroor potentially illegal to ride. You can limit the speed through the smartphone app. Check with your local regulations- Only available in black- Only basic instructions included on how to operate the scooterTIPSOPERATION- For your safety, lean forward when accelerating, lean back when braking- Do not brake hard. Doing so could make you painfully tumble, scooter skid, and/or wear out the tires-- Be aware of unexpected obstacles. I tumbled once at roughly 5 mph when transitioning from grass to concrete. It was not fun- Gently push on accelerator lever to start moving. Apply more pressure for faster acceleration- Left Handle-- On/Off: Head-/Tail lights-- Left/Right: Blinker lights- I found the most stability (especially when turning) by putting one foot pointing forward and the other at 45 degrees to the side- As battery neared empty, I noticed that maximum speed gradually lowered- Scooter is designed for only 1 rider. California law prohibits having a passengerLOCKING AGAINST THEFTScooter can be secured with a heavy-duty cable through the front fork suspension. The rear wheel can be fastened with a disc brake lock. Loop the cable(s) around an immovable object. Don't forget to take the NFC key card with you!AIRCRAFT TRANSPORTATIONMost, if not all, airlines prohibit electronic scooters that do not meet specific criteria. United Airlines, for example, allows collapsible ones whose battery is both removable and below 300 Wh. This scooter's is 468 Wh. Lithium-ion batteries are known to be volatile, and the higher their capacity, the more risky they are. Check with the airlines for more details.MOTORIZED SCOOTER LAWSCheck with federal, state, and local regulations governing the use of electric scooters. I had thought that federal laws prohibited recreational eScooters from going over 15.5 mph, but imported ones like this Gyroor go well beyond that. In case it is illegal to go faster than that, look at my PROGRAMMING section to learn how to throttle the max speed to get this scooter compliant.CONCLUSIONThe Gyroor X8 is a heavy scooter but makes up for it with a slightly more powerful motor, sleek and modern design, and a comfortable, stable ride.

Bad customer support
This looks like an excellent scooter. I mean, it is a good built scooter. The only problem I have with it, is with the app. The scooter depends on the app. But the app is so horrible to use. The app doesn't connect with the scooter. This company should fix this app and make one app for every product they make. I downloaded the app, I then opened the app. Once the app opens, you select from a group of other products the one that suit your scooter. The app let you select the scooter, but then quickly deselect it and say that there is no product selected. Then, some sort of instructions popup letting you know what to do in case of having issues. The instructions tell you that you have to go to Bluetooth settings first, and once there, connect the scooter to your phone Bluetooth. Then I followed that instruction, then you get an error message: This product has an app, connect it to it, etc. So that instruction popup should be removed from the app, because for a few seconds I was able to connect to the scooter without the need to connect it to Bluetooth. But it lasted like 9 seconds, and then it got disconnected. After doing this for endless hours, I gave up. I am one of the people who do not contact customer service/support. I always tend to solve everything on my part. But then I contacted Amazon, and the agent told me to contact the scooter tech support. Which I did. Days went by and no response. I then checked spam on my email, and there was a replied. All they asked me was a picture of the order number, nothing else. The first thing I wrote on the email I sent to them was the order number. I contacted them a few times, but I never received another response.

CHARGER STOPPED WORKING AFTER ONE MONTH **Updated!!
**Customer support was very helpful, after some trouble shooting they had me ship the malfunctioning scooter and charger back (they paid for shipping of course) and sent me a new one. The new one looks wonderful, going to be taking it for a spin this week. As long as this one continues to work/charge I am very happy to change my review to 5 stars because the scooter itself is AWESOME. Very zippy, battery lasts a long time, and this thing is built like a tank (which I like).For this first month I owned this scooter, it was awesome. Very quick acceleration, sturdy build, long lasting battery. Suddenly last week the charger stopped working, simply does not charge the scooter, the light on the charger is always green. I followed all instructions for how you should charge the scooter.I emailed Gyroor customer service asking for help, will happily update this review to 5 stars when/if this issue is resolved.

Very Disappointed-Update #2
Update #2 03/01/22Ok I now give this scooter and the seller 5 stars rating. I initially gave them a 1 star because I couldn't get a hold of customer service then once I gotten a hold of them I was a little happier and gave them a 3 stars because I was waiting to see if they come through with their promise or not. I got a replacement scooter and everything is working properly and a customer that I was dealing with was nice and understanding.My original scooter wasn't charging at all right out of the box and the charger itself wasn't the problem. I know because I checked the output voltage of the charger and also got another charger to try(same exact charger with same model #) and same problem that was why I contact customer service in the first place.Anyway, I'm happy with the scooter... it's a solid scooter and for the price it has many features that I think it's much better than other brands in it class. Things that I don't care for are the NFC card and the App. I think the App sucks and the NFC card also sucks because you have to use it to get the scooter to function. Other than that I like the scooter and the customer service that I was dealing with. How reliable this scooter or how long will it last only time will tell.
