Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Good suspension system
It has a full spring suspension system that helps a lot when riding off roads or rough terrains.
Pro Excellent brake system
It uses hydraulic brakes rather than the usual cable wire discs. Hydraulic system multiplies how much effort you put at the lever. Therefore, the actual braking force is greater than the force applied, making it excellent for sudden stops.
Pro Complete with display readouts
It is equipped with the following readouts: speedometer, odometer, battery level indicator, and lights indicator.
Pro Recharge on or off the moped
The batteries can be removed and can be recharged on or off the frame. This also means that when the battery has drained or was not recharged, you can replace it with a spare and still be able to use the moped while recharging the drained battery.
Pro Nice keyless ignition system
You can start the bike using its wireless remote. Also, not having to use keys means no keys rattling or hitting your knees (specially if you are a tall person).
Pro Anti-theft system for security
In addition to the locks that the storage compartments have, it is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system that is triggered when shaken.

Cons
Con No longer available
Con Problematic storage compartments
Closing the compartments may be difficult. The glove compartment doesn't close properly. It does not stay straight too. The seat storage doesn't lock in place easily. You may need to push it hard to get the lock to work. Also, it is made of plastic that is a bit flimsy.
Con Heavy to pedal
Weighing 155 lbs plus your weight, this makes it difficult to pedal.
Con Very long charging time
It takes 7 hours to fully charge its battery, while other mopeds would, in average, take only 5 to 6 hours, and the quick charging ones take 4 hours or less. This is no problem if you have a spare, so you can just replace the drained battery with a fully charged one while charging the drained one.
Con Plastic cover feels flimsy
The plastic cover is made from what appears to be cheap material. If somebody tries to break into your storage, he or she can definitely do it with less effort. Even its chain cover shakes a lot when riding off road.
Con Low max weight capacity
The maximum weight allowable is only 275 lbs. It is quite low compared to others that have around 330 lb weight limit. It can accommodate two people, but you have to be mindful of your weight and your passenger so that you don't exceed the weight limit. However, this no problem for petite people.
Con Useless pedals
This bike has a wide body, which makes pedaling inconvenient. In addition, the bike is very heavy, weighing 200 lbs. The pedals are very short too, like that of a kids bike. It seems the pedals' only purpose is for the bike to be classified as a low-speed e-bike.
Con Extremely pricey
While other regular mopeds are priced below $2000, this moped costs incredibly high at $3499 as of this posting.
