Customers are pleased with the EPrime Electric Scooter's speed. However, some customers expressed concerns regarding the scooter's battery life, requiring frequent charging and providing an unclear range indicator. Additionally, the braking system received negative feedback, with reports suggesting it is ineffective and requires a significant stopping distance. Improvements to the braking system and battery life would enhance the overall user experience.

I'm a daily train commuter into the Los Angeles area - something I have been doing for years to avoid about 20 miles of solid traffic along a very heavily traveled corridor. When arriving at my station near work, I would take a bus, get a ride or call for a car to get me to my office. I had begun to notice more and more of my fellow passengers bringing electric bikes, scooters and skateboards along with them for final travel to their destinations, and it prompted me to search for an option of my own. I found expensive options that were way outside of my price range, and cheaper ones that looked like they just weren’t going to cut it (I’m an American adult, after all…not a lighter-weight child). When I came across the E Prime, I felt like I had found the one! It looked to be just the right spec and price for me, so I excitedly decided to purchase the scooter for pick up the same day in store. (I had to have it right away, and loved the instant gratification of getting it within an hour…thanks Best Buy!) It performs as expected, and I have been using my E Prime to get back and forth from the train station to work ever since. It has the power and speed to get me the couple of miles to my office, where I charge it up during the day, and then it is ready to whisk me away back to the train at the end of the day. I am pleased to have received a solid value for the price I paid. My train friends have been asking where they can get one too. Not only is it a fun product that is functional, but it's a great looking conversation starter as well.

Bought the Prime electric scooter for my son for this birthday. Much faster than his previous Razor Scooter. Rides well. I had a problem with the battery charging so I brought it back to Best Buy and exchanged for a new one, no problem. So far, so good on this new scooter related to the battery.

My Grandson loves it! Very user friendly, easy to fold and light enough to carry flight of stairs.
