Windek Foldable Electric Scooter
1 review
Excellent and powerful electric scooter – Been using mine for the last 4 days and here are my initial impressions: Speed: three settings, slow, medium and fast. If it's busy it's a good idea to use the slow setting, probs does about 10-12kmph ideal for not startling path walkers etc. I haven't tried medium much but on the fast setting this goes very quick. It struggles a little up hill but it will get you up. It's definitely better conserve the battery for straight terrain then wasting it all climbing hills.
Fastest speed on flat terrain is 28kmph I've had so far. Downhill obviously even faster and it will keep accelerating down hill.
Braking: the electric brake works but there is quite a bit of a stopping distance if your going at speed. The motor and electric brake are on the front so this makes sense. Take some time to get used to this if you plan on commuting with it. There is a manual brake I've only used it a couple of times but it does the job.
Today I intententionally ran the battery flat to see how much I could get out of it, running it on its highest speed and also going up inclines at points on full throttle. Using it like this i got 13 mile before the battery started to die. Power doesn't cut off, it just gets noticeably slower.
The wheels are not good enough for roads, unless the road is perfect. Too much vibration and I would not want to hit a pot hole at full speed on this.
For now I'm giving it 5/5, purchased it based on my experience in Europe renting their scooters and this is just as good. Its cheaper than other models, I think the LCD screen is very basic but it tells you what you need to know. Hopefully it lasts!
I'll continue using it as a commuter and update the review if anything changes over time.
