I needed this electric scooter/bike for personal commute on a university campus to get to places, so the overall round trip would be around 6/8 miles. I had no issue at all in battery life/charge which was a plus. The portability of the scooter is great too and I had no trouble at all with folding. I am 6 foot 2, 265 pounds and the scooter/bike had no problem carrying my heavy ass around, even on an incline, but I am sure if I lay low on some candy/like Hersheys then I would feel like I am in an F1 racecar. Here comes the issue (get your popcorn). One day I was riding and suddenly I noticed the back tire is flat. Now you can make jokes and say its due to my heavy stature, but for one week I was riding beautifully. I noticed the tire went flat and that it wasnt a simple fix of putting more air in. As I try to find solutions to solve this, the only options came to send the thing back to across the country and pay for shipping. Or come back to and pray that a replacement would be sent. Luckily, I got a replacement so I will see if the same issues persist. The rear tire is something you cant simply change the tire as all the electronics are attached to it, plus working on it by yourself can void the 1/year warranty that comes with it. This just raises the question about overall craftsmanship and quality of the bike. If this major issue did not happen to me, and it seems like it is fairly common judging by previous reviews, then the Eb5 would be perfect.
