I have had this scooter for about a month so far and it is fantastic. I have had a sterling diamond 8mph scooter previously but this is by far the best scooter bar none. I have a very bad back, the soft suspension gives great releif from the bumps on the pavement and road. Also the lights are highly visable and it even has brake lights, wicked. Attractive machine I bought the optional locakable top box to keep my waterproofs in along with my lap blanket. This machine is fantastic only down side that takes getting use to is the turning circle, when you turn it is quite a big turn to manouver around in tight places. that is its only fault apart from that it is fantastic, if you can afford one get one you will never want to bother with anything else.....
