TIFGAOP Electric Scooter High Power Dual Drive 5600W Motor Up to 50 MPH and 60 Miles Range 11 Inch Tubeless Off Road Tires Electric Scooter for Adults with Detachable Seat

Let me be clear; I love this beast. It has earned the moniker ‘Mad Max,’ by someone close to me and who is smarter than me. It is incredibly fun and exciting to ride. I’m telling you this, as someone who’s free-fall skydived and who’s been to all the lower 48 on a Harley. Alone. Never trailered it anywhere. This scooter is fantastic.Mostly.It isn’t for amateurs or idiots. It will kill you if you’re imprudent. It will change your life if you’re irresponsible. It also makes car drivers do a double-take as you overtake them on a 40 MPH roadway. I’ve also noted several people shooting smartphone video of the guy on the scooter as they floor it to again overtake me.But there are issues:The speedometer appears to function properly only until you exceed a jogging pace. Beyond very low speeds, the speedometer displays 199 k/per hour, but I assure you, you’re not moving in excess of 123 MPH. It displays those units of measure because I either haven’t made the effort to change the increments to MPH or because it will not display the speed in MPH.The included pamphlet isn’t user-friendly or informational. The display is also virtually impossible to see in the light of day. You’ll need to wait until you’re not moving, so you can safely remove your right hand from the handlebar to cup the sun from the display, squint one eye, then seek some information other than your speed, which is now irrelevant, because you’ll be at a standing stop. But you can then at least see the battery strength display.Early after receiving it, I got a Brake Cut-Off Fault, which completely disabled the scooter until it was resolved. The resolution was simple, but it was not easy to find. It was not addressed in the pamphlet which came with the scooter and a challenge to find on the ‘net. All I found on the pamphlet was:“4. Fault displayWhen electric scooter broken down (sic), the display panel will show the failed accessories.Brake cut-off. Motor failure. Handlebar failure. Controller failure.”That’s all it says, while also displaying the concomitant respective displayed fault icons. The resolution was likely induced by the new brake cables stretching incrementally, inducing the fault. With a small Philips screwdriver, loosen the two screws below each brake lever pivot point, then slide the cover until the fault disappears. Then retighten the sliding covers. It took mere seconds, after researching the fault, via a Boolean internet search. The language in the video was Mandarin, but you can figure it out from watching what they’re doing in the video.Fasteners don’t stay tight. Check everything when you unbox it, then check again daily as you ride it. You will note that the signal lights, which are visible from behind the scooter, are not tight when it arrives and they will vibrate loose every time you ride. You will also note that even with the slightest tightening with a tool, the threaded male end will pull out from the signal light unit. It is possible — but a formidable challenge — to reinsert it, but you’ll learn you can only hand-tighten it and will need to do so each time you ride. Either that or accept that your signal lights are likely not positioned to be optimally visible to motorists located behind you.I assumed I could operate it on the rear wheel until that battery was exhausted, then switch to both wheels (your options are to run rear wheel only or both wheels; operating on only the front wheel is *not* an option, at least at this time. The battery display stated I had roughly 40% battery power remaining. It quickly went dead after I started riding. I walked approximately 1.5 miles back to my domicile, plugged-in the chargers, then opted to drive a four-wheeled vehicle to my destination. From that experience, I inferred that once the rear wheel portion of the battery was exhausted, the scooter was dead. Switching to “both” wheels and riding via the front wheel was not a possibility at that point.You’ve probably figured out by now that there are two chargers and two charge ports. One charge port for each wheel and of the rear battery is dead, the scooter is dead.From a standing stop, in “gear” 3, in the “Turbo” setting and with power to both wheels, the scooter will literally pull a wheelie from a dead stop, even with a 200-lb rider standing on it. It is that awesomely powerful.Respect it.Start on gear 1 and the switch on ”Eco,” rear wheel drive only. Get used to it. It will leave black marks on carpet or ceramic tile when in full-on Mad Max mode.Aside from those items, it is wickedly powerful and great fun. Be smart. Be safe. Don’t die. There is a reason the shipper requires an in-person adult (over 21) signature, at the time of delivery.I implore the manufacturer to remedy some engineering/design issues and to revise the pamphlet which comes with it to offer more helpful information.

Unfortunately, I have to ride this scooter in the street with vehicle traffic. For me, when I just want a smooth ride without fear of killing myself, I opt to ride this scooter in "Eco Turbo" mode (yellow button), because there's no jerking, when I press on the throttle to go forward or at maximum speed in "Eco Turbo" mode. The ride is smooth from start to finish in "Eco Turbo" mode, but it only gets up to 25 mph in "Eco Turbo" mode, and the gears 1, 2 and 3 don't work in "Eco Turbo" mode. When I feel daring and brave, and I want to feel like I'm part of the wind, I opt for the "Single Dual" button mode (red button). In this mode, I previously feared for my life in gear 3, but I no longer fear riding in gear 3. With the "Single Dual" mode, the gears work. For me, gear 1 maxes out at 25 mph; in gear 2, the scooter maxes out at 39 mph. Also, I've really gotten use to maxing the scooter out at 54 mph in gear 3. My last trip on this scooter was 13 miles straight in 39 minutes going 54 miles per hour on a one-way trip, but the return trip of 13 miles was cut short by 2 miles, because the batteries died on me, leaving me 2 miles from home. I had to walk the scooter 2 miles home, but I'm not disappointed in the scooter. Now, I know how many miles (complete distance) I can go on this scooter consistently doing 54 mph which is about 35 miles combined, and I'm pleased to know this, so now, I'll never allow myself to plan trips that are longer than 35 miles (distance) total after both battery packs are fully charged, because I always plan on maxing this scooter out at 54 mph. I'll settle for a maximum distance of 35 miles, before my batteries die out, as long I can get to my destinations quicker.It takes the top battery 7 hours to fully charge from empty, and it takes the bottom battery 7 hours and 14 minutes to fully charge from empty.So far, for me, this scooter has met all of my expectations of it. Now, my preferred gear of choice is gear 3, because I like being part of the wind going 54 mph on this scooter.June 10, 2023 around 6:50PM, I had my niece follow behind me in her vehicle, because the scooter reached 65 MPH, and I needed to be sure that the Speedometer was accurate; sure enough she kept her speed at 50mph, the local speed limit for the street we were on, but I maxed the scooter out at 65 MPH this time, and I left her far behind me. I'm thinking that I got this scooter that reaches 65 MPH, more than what any other poster has stated, because of some of these bad reviews. The company must have made adjustments on my scooter. Why else would it reach a speed of 65 MPH?
