This Jetson scooter, with 14-inch wheels and a 350w motor, is pretty decent, seems reliable, and would work for most people who desire a non-pedaling scooter to get them around (commuting in the city and campgrounds/RVs come immediately to mind). I got it and liked it fine at first, but I live at the base of a mountain, and there are lots of hills, etc. in the area. It got me up medium grades, but it didn't work so well on the steeper stuff. It also used a lot of power carrying me uphill (5'9", 180 lbs), and in my neighborhood that translated to a top range of maybe seven miles.
I took it to the city trail system that runs all around town. It's mostly flat, but often the track is unpaved with lots of small rocks scattered about. I lasted about a mile. With no shocks and small wheels, it was too rough a ride–and riding the trail system was one of my major intentions. Again, this is a decent bike that would work for many, especially on flat ground that's paved or fairly smooth. But in my situation it didn't quite cut it, so I returned it and got a more-powerful bike with shocks and longer range (Jetway, 750 volts,14ah), and that one does everything I need it to do.
