Okay. The shipping box was a disaster. But last week the Flying Spaghetti Monster looked down on me and the scooter with pity. I took trash out to the bin and found my scootamer outside its steel bar hotel! Since then I've placed it into service and have an admittedly short term assessment.
Build Quality. It seems very well built indeed. A friend of mine has a few non Vevor mobility scooters. My Vevor makes them seem to like.
Performance. It is easy to operate. It is bloody fast! Fifteen miles per hour on a mobility scooter is hauling the mail. It's range is surprisingly good. All the instruments seem accurate. And then, hills. There are several in my area. Today's test took scootamer and me down and then back up a nasty hill. I've pushed several bicycles up that hill but have never been able to pedal one up it. Once, in ambient temperature of a bit above one hunnert farenheits I literally stopped approximately every twenty to thirty feet to rest several mins in the shade of bloody mesquite! Vevor and I came down that hill using automatic speed control and the dynamic regen put several volts back in the battery. On the way up I started in speed one, no trouble. Speed two had snappy acceleration from about three miles per hour to about seven and a half, whilst ascending the hill of doom. Okay, speed three. We're clear for about 15.5 mph. Accelerating from about 7.5 while ascending the most evil hill. Didn't reach the full 25kph as we were still accelerating, through 23 as we crested the hill! Poor hill. Vevor brutalized it.
We left home at about 65volts and with speeds and about 7 miles total distance and several hills, got back home showing 61 volts... Still about one volt above the nominal 60.
I love it! But, be sure to have assistance is freeing it from its shipping box; rent a gorilla from the circus. And the user manual can be all confusal when it's time to charge it, especially the first time. The charging port is on the front surface below the seat. The instructions on it are correct.
I'm hoping that scootamer lasts me a long time. I like it. And Factory Pure rocks. Not rock like Taylor Swift. Rock like Iron Butterfly. I hope I didn't mistype very often.
