   I purchased this scooter as an upgrade from a Razor E300. I was impressed with the suspension system, but thats where it ended. After several modifications I can now say that I thoroughly enjoy and rely daily on this scooter. Some of the components on this scooter are so inadequate that they should never have been installed in the first place. First of all the drive wheel does NOT have a fly wheel clutch, so when you release the throttle instead of coasting you immediately and abruptly begin to slow down. As a result you use more battery power and your charge does not last as long. Secondly, the brakes on this scooter while looking impressive are inadequate. Thirdly, the recharging jack and recharger are very tempermental. If you intend to buy this scooter here are the steps you can take to improve its functionality and your enjoyment. All of the parts added and changed were from a Razor E300. First remove the rear tire, chain and brake assembly from the Razor (and get 5/16th flat washers). Then (for ease of installation remove the plastic cover) from the Xtreme scooter remove the wheel, chain, and brake. The brake cable can be installed into the brake from the razor, use the washers to center the wheel on the axle and ensure that the chain is perfectly straight from the motor to the gears. You must drill a hole through the frame of the Xtreme scooter through to the brake housing hole from the Razor. A 1/4 stove bolt, lock washer, 1/4 flat washers and nylon lock nut work perfectly. The front brake on the Xtreme can be removed it’s NOT needed. Remember to remove the brake cable and hand control as well. The charger plug and charging jack for the Xtreme are crap as well. The Jack from the Razor is easily installed into the body of the Xtreme just below the existing jack, just drill a new hole and solder the connections. All I did for the plug was cut the old plug off the razor charger and solder it onto the Xtreme chargers cord. These are the upgrades that mostly increased the usability of this scooter. I Have also added wheel covers front and aft to eliminate tire spray. The kickstand will probably break on you as it did for me but that is not a concern for me. One last thing the throttle broke after about two months and I installed a half grip throttle that I ordered. With the half grip I was able to use the old grip from the Razor that holds the valve extender inflation tool. If you choose to buy this scooter I’d say it’s a good choice but be prepared to spend a bit more making it perfect. I can send pics of the upgrades to you just let me know.
   
   I hope this has been helpful

   I bought it on mid September 2008 from NeoScooter as a project to commute from work and home to the train station, both distances are about a mile and also to ride it to go to local stores for lunch, an average of 8 miles round trip.
   
   It rides well and holds the charge, you can go up the hills ( not to steep ) as advertised but at slower pace.
   
   I would give it 5 * but the quality is not there yet ( Chinese product ), some of the wiring could be pinched under the battery pack, the rest of the wiring is bunched and can also be cut between the deck and the frame when closing the battery compartment. Also to hold the deck in place the manufacture uses Velcro, and the warranty is only 30 days.
   
   This is a bad thing turn into a good thing, it is heavy ( 75 lb.) what makes it stable when riding over gravel roads. But not to good when you have to lift it to get on the train using the steps.
   
   Is a good product overall for the price. I will update review in 2 months.
