Upgrade Your Scooter And Get Some Speed...


Having 4 boys in the house leads to lots of fast and fun things happening. The regular scooters just weren't cutting it anymore and my older boys were looking for something more so I decided to purchase this electric scooter for them. I was looking for something that both my younger kids (9 and 11) could control and have fun on as well as my husband and myself and this scooter does it all. I was impressed with the quality from the time I opened the box since everything was packaged neatly and it was quite easy to assemble the scooter in under 10 minutes.

The Pulse Performance Super C Electric Scooter has lots of features that make it worth the price such as the steel construction with triple tube geometry, 250 watts of power, up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time, holds a rider up to 150 lbs, a 24-volt rechargeable battery with Instant Throttle Response, ergo sweep stem and handle bars with integrated dashboard showing the current speed, a twist-grip throttle, two-piece Composite Deck Traction, front caliper disc brake, protective aluminum bash guard, air filled rubber tires, durable chain drive system, LED light on/off indicator for safety and power converter and more.

Once the scooter is initially put together and charged, there is no further upkeep except to re-charge as needed and placing air in the tires over time making this a good buy. I was able to easily find the on/off switch and charger port on the bottom side area and the scooter is easy to drive since you just twist the right handle bar the desired amount to increase/decrease speed up to 15 mph. The left handle bar has the brake attached and it is easy to squeeze (I have bad carpel tunnel and weakened wrists) so you don't have to worry about a child not being able to brake properly when needed. I find that the speedometer is quite accurate and is easy to read at almost any angle so no matter your height you can see the details of your ride. Turning the scooter is a breeze as the air filled tires make it feel like you are indeed riding on air...I even hit a few random rocks and the scooter barely budged...and the turns can be as tight or loose as you can handle depending on your experience while riding.

The base plate where your feet rest is wide enough for a larger framed person to stand comfortably and the metal plate provides some traction for the feet while riding. The kick stand is small and barely noticeable yet is able to hold the heavy scooter without any problems. This particular scooter does NOT fold up to store so keep that in mind if you have a small space. Charging the scooter takes a few hours when the battery is dead but once charged and the on/off switch is left in the off position, the scooter keeps the charge so you don't have to leave it plugged in.

This scooter gives up to a 40 minute ride time at full speed however, my children have been able to achieve a longer riding time by keeping the scooter speed at lower speeds while riding. I would recommend safety equipment to be used while riding as the scooter can reach fairly fast speeds that could do damage to a child/teen. The recommended weight limit is 150lbs yet my 175lb husband is able to ride and it still can reach up to about 13 miles per hour before starting to slow. Also, the recommended age is 12+ due to the speed of the scooter yet if the child is mature/responsible enough I believe this to be a good choice that will last for years before outgrowing (not that anyone really outgrows an electric scooter) just make sure the child is capable of handling the faster speed.

The speedometer is digital and shows you the battery life, speed, distance traveled and current ride time. These features are able to be reset at any time. This truly is a solid built scooter that was made to last.

I was offered this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion.
