EW36 Cruiser 3W

I personally like the "motorcycle" style controls. My thumbs would get numb on my old scooter from pushing the lever constantly. I love the speed that the scooter is capable of, but yet, it has the potentiometer (like a governor or limiter) which keeps you from going too fast in a crowd. I also chose not to get the "automatic brake" thing because as an old motorcycle rider, I have no problem with coasting and using the hand brakes which gives me more control of the ride. I love the style! And, the "assembler", JHR Electronics which manufactures this scooter, they were awesome! I love the basket which can be locked to secure your purse, camera, phone, etc. as well as the under seat storage. The scooter has great anti-theft security features and one thing that they don't tell you about, the phone holder kit includes a dual USB charging port which plugs into the battery port!

My only complaint is that the seat is not really comfortable. It's a bit harder than I was expecting. It's great that it tilts back, but it could be softer, and does not really offer any lumbar support at all. I'm thin, so I don't have much "natural padding". I easily fixed that though by making a seat pad and lumbar pillow. Though not a "weakness", you should be aware that this scooter is 61" long will not fit onto a "carrier" (most are made for 48" scooters). I had to buy a trailer to haul it and the 4' gate ramp is too steep for the scooter to go up because the "wheelie" bars catch on it. Then, I realized, I wasn't strong enough to push it up the ramp (all the weight is in the rear end) so then I had to install a winch on the trailer to assist getting it loaded. These are things that a consumer should think about if you're severely disabled or elderly. I'm 65 years old with back problems and my ultimate goal was to be able to load the scooter and go by myself without help, but it's taken some planning!

65 year old back surgery patient, I still love to go places and do things! The EW-36 allows me to do this in style!

I received the scooter with more extras than expected. It is just right to take my dogs for a walk with.

When going up slowly at corners, or having to stop quickly because of my dogs, the scooter will sometimes roll back when I apply the brakes, and then add "gas" while going up the sidewalk corners. It has taken my a bit to get use to.

I have a slipped disk in my back which has effected my left side of my body from working correctly. My leg goes numb and my knee goes out.

The features of the product are easy to use and access

I wish it had more space to carry cargo and I wish it was better balanced. It lifts the front wheel often due to acceleration being all or none.

Well engineered, looks great, everyone loves it, nice to be at eye level.

The start & stop is very touchy. I wish there was a way to have the unit stop not so sharply. Also the start up is touchy to the point of doing wheelies.

I am 83 years old, I can get around but I can't walk long distances. This scooter does what I want just fine.

Running time. Comfort of ride and seat. Lights!

Have not found any yet.

Male, 81, good health. Loves his new ride. Used it to go shopping or up town. Has a small dog he takes with him.

Sturdy, well built.

Almost too powerful for anything but a paved bike trail.

Female in 70's, physically disabled, loves getting out in the fresh air and about town.

The looks, the speed of it, the security issues (alarm, locking trunk), and the vehicle height.

The speed potentiometer, which came off when I turned it, should be attached more sturdily and moved closer to the left hand for operation (reaching across myself to adjust it with my left hand rather than releasing the throttle with my right to turn it) the basket on the back, the motorcycle style front wheel fender, the seat doesn't spin to allow side seating, and not enough lights. It has two handbrakes although releasing the throttle stops it. Also a tiller version (like on Pride units) would be a nice addition.

This is not a vehicle for people with a disability or have any mobility issues that would stop them from riding a motorcycle.

Nice looking.

Cannot see how it would go 43 mile range and 18 mph, the braking is not good.
