I use this scooter every day to help me get around my college campus. I was hesitant to buy one because it can be really pricey for a student, but after a week of running half a mile for back-to-back classes, I caved and I don't regret it. Sure, maybe it's not as fast as other scooters and maybe the battery life is shorter, but that doesn't matter for my purposes which makes the price a great deal.
The brakes make an odd squeaking sound for some reason (and it will skid if you break too quickly, so be careful) but they seem to work well. The only thing about this scooter that really bothers me is the cruise control - I don't like how it activates automatically. I'm sure that's great for staying on a road for a few miles, but for me it's much more of a nuisance, and sometimes it accelerates when I don't expect it to. I still wouldn't choose a different one though.
I've only had it for about a month, so I'll have to see how it holds up!
