“I previously had an Emove Cruiser which is related to the Speedway V in design except that the Speedway 5 has dual motors, better suspension and is overall better in quality. I especially like the folding mechanism and the fact that it won't tip over when folded. Often I take the ferry and park the scooter under the stairway on the boat. Since the boat can rock back and forth it's much better to fold the scooter so it won't tip over and scratch or damage the handlebar or other parts.
This is a heavy duty scooter. Since I now live on the ground floor, it's not a big deal that the scooter is so heavy.
Given the excellent acceleration, I feel comfortable when having to drive with traffic in Brooklyn. Of course I would never get on the highway but it's great for surface streets when you have to keep up with traffic. Generally I ride on the bike lanes but occasionally have to switch to the road.
I added a bar-end mirror on my left side handlebar so I can see if traffic is behind me... Unfortunately, I had to cut a hole in the handlebar end to accommodate the mirror but there isn't much room due to the cylinder spring that allows the handlebars to fold.
I loved the deal with the fast charger and finger print scanner. I was thinking of purchasing from a different dealer but these two extras along with the warranty sealed the deal with eWheels.
Looking forward to the warmer months as I simply gave it a test drive here in February in NYC. Even though we are having a mild winter, I prefer to ride in a bit warmer weather.”
“The speedway V is incredible for commuting! I commute through Washington DC everyday and it has made my commute faster. The acceleration is crazy fast and I can pass cars easily from a stop at red lights. Suspension is quite good, makes bumps and potholes not bad to go over at higher speeds. The battery life is good, with all the speed setting on max I use about 33% battery on my commute which is 16 miles with a lot of steep hills. If your riding on the roads it’s nice to be able accelerate fast to get around cars and out of the way of bad drivers. Make sure to adjust the brakes to your liking. Great brakes. All around a 5 star scooter and definitely worth the price$!”
