I've had this scooter for about 6 months. I can tell you the torque and speed are awesome. I can easily hit 35 mph. I mainly ride around my large neighborhood that is very hilly. It's so hilly that I couldn't really pull my kids in the bicycle trailer we had. I hooked the bike trailer up to my scooter by attaching the mounting bracket to the rear shock bolt. The scooter will pull both my kids with ease - even up hills. We will ride for about 10 miles. Because the motor started feeling hot at times I put the hill climbing kit on. Top speed dropped a bit but more torque - I'd say about a 20% gain in torque/loss in top speed. It was a win since I don't go for speed when pulling my kids. They are about 75 lbs combined and I'm 175. The scooter easily goes up big hills. The front end really wants to come up when accelerating from a stop - even with the standard sprocket you have to be careful. As far as the price and comparing it to an EVO. I have a 1000W EVO. It would barely pull me up some hills in my neighborhood. I'd have to break up the hill by weaving back and forth. The 1500 watt brushless will pull me and my kids UP the same hill faster than the EVOs top speed on a flat surface!!!! So there's no comparison! It has been a lot of fun. I

That is definitely the best scooter Review I've seen out there. 1500w Super scooter from super cycles and scooters website which no longer sells this model. The model I always wanted but couldn't get because they wouldn't ship it to New York so I settled for 1200w lithium powered Lunar scooter which is my 3rd scooter & topped out at about 27mph until it got stolen from in front of my old job about a year and a half ago. Just got my new scooter about 2weeks ago--The dual motor 3200w 60v 26ah 56mph Out Storm Maxx. Hopefully this one last me for a while.

Josh. The controller on this one is even more covered and protected than the 800W model. So it should take even more water abuse. I would recommend splash guards because most of the water hitting the scooter is coming from what the wheels pick up. However, this thing is not waterproof. It won't die from getting a little wet, however don't push your luck and ride it in poring rain.

By my calculations, with the 15:44 gearing, I can hit 43-44 MPH on flat pavement under no wind conditions. However, based on my extensive experience with electric bikes and scooters the motor will be worked pretty hard. I wouldn't ride at those speeds for for more than a few miles. I may just for the fun of it try out the high gearing and make a video of it.

I agree it's pricy. I am giving a year warranty on it though. When compared to other high end models such as gopeds that run on lithium batteries it's a steal. A lithium battery like the one this scooter uses retails for roughly $750. I've seen RC car brushless motors and ECUs retail for over $300. I spent 10k just to have this motor and ECU designed for my scooters. Just letting you know why the price is what it is.

I personally have the 800W model, the 1000W model and this 1500W model. It's like going from a base model Honda Accord to a Lamborghini. Aside from top speed difference, you will notice insane responsiveness. On the 800W model, 0-15 MPH is about 8 seconds while it only takes 2 seconds on the 1500W model. Just be warn that once you go 1500W you won't want to ride that 800 anymore, speaking from first hand experience.

The wheel size should be the least of your worries. I have traveled well over 8000 miles on my Super Turbo 1000 Lithium, the predecessor to this scooter which has 10" diameter wheels with no issues. The wheels on this model are slightly bigger at 12" diameter. I have ran over pretty large rocks and potholes without losing control. If you are riding in low light conditions, get familiar with the road during daylight first.

If you were getting 37 MPH on the old one, then you should've stuck with it. I am only getting 34-35 MPH max on leveled pavement. The new controller may need to be re-programmed to allow more current out of the battery. It may not be reading the throttle correctly. Also check your tires, deflated tires will slow you down. Also check to see that the sprockets are tightly in place. Most likely, the controller needs to be re-programmed.

The motor on Generation 2 which is what Minhvu has, is about 15% stronger then the first 30 experimental models. That's why his is a little faster. I could make them go crazy fast if I wanted to.

$1600 dollars is actually very cheap for what this electric scooter will do. Trying to get the $500 800w version to meet the specs of the $1600 1500w will cost you far more than the price difference. When you buy in bulk you have economy of scale. Having said that the 1000w and 800w models are no slouch either. A perfect upgrade for 800w owners that want to get serious with electric scooters and replace some/most car travel. The fuel savings alone will pay for this scooter in a year or two.

The rear of the frame on the 1500 is a few inches longer than on the 800 or 1000 allowing for this larger wheel and tire. It will fit on the 800 or 1000 however you would have Zero room for chain adjustment. So not a good idea.

If you are planning to ride over hills then 1500W is the way to go. 1000W has trouble on the hills over 4% grade. There is no comparison regarding acceleration. On the same gear ratio for instance: 11:44, 0-20MPH for 1000W is around 9 seconds while the 1500W can do it in less than 4 seconds.
