We were noticing through our social media and support messages that more and more people were asking for an e-scooter with suspension. We listened. The G Pro is our first electric scooter to feature dedicated suspension other than our shock-absorbing tires. The G Pro also does not require a kickstand, the balance of the third wheel takes care of that. We also included the integrated tiller lock so you don't have to worry about it rolling away. 

We are constantly looking at all of our social media channels and customer support lines for ways to improve our electric scooters for adults. This July we are bringing something to shake-up the norm and take our next step in the electric scooter world.
