Have you ever been walking around downtown and just really dislike that sore feeling your feet get after being on them for hours on end? Or how about enjoying a-little nature but don’t really enjoy walking or running? Or better yet and in my personal experience, do you have younger kids who have go carts and power wheels that you just don’t have the energy to chase and keep up with anymore? Well I certainly needed something to enjoy playtime with the kids a tad bit more and this Levy electric scooter has certainly elevated that for us. From the light weight design and sleek look it fits the versatility of a on or mildly off road scooter. 

When first unboxing this scooter it may look like it requires a lot of work but the second you peel away the protective story foam and cardboard and get the scooter out you see that it’s essentially all together. With the exception of having to put the brake lever on with the provided Allen key and then screw the handles on which are labeled left and right you’re good to go. I would advise to air up the tires to the recommended tire pressure to ensure the safest and more comfortable ride possible(included is a valve extender to better reach the valve stems on your tires). Between the very nice disk rear brake and the very stylish accent colors the scooter is ready to roll out of the box in under 10 minutes. 

Product information

This Levy plus scooter does have a the option of two larger batteries coming in at 10 ah battery allowing up to 16 miles per charge on eco and and even bigger 12.8 ah batter allowing up to 20miles per charge on eco where the original Levy scooter has a 6.4 ah battery with a maximum of 10 miles per charge on eco and with both options they have a removable battery that snaps in and out with ease. Also if you’re interested they do sell extra batteries for both models so you can swap out and continue to ride without waiting the 3.5-4 hours to charge, and charging is made very easy with a computer like charger that you can just plug into your wall outlets and plug the battery in at the bottom where there is a water tight rubber cap. Charging can be done with the battery in or out of the scooter as well!

A very cool feature this Levy scooter has is the 3 different modes for power output. On the stylish and bright lcd display located in the center of your handle bars you will see the speedometer and the battery indicator at the bottom. To the right of the speedometer there is a blank space that means you are in the beginner mode and that has a max speed of up to 6 MPH. When you press the button with three little lines directly above the power button you will see a white D illuminated on the screen that means you have entered eco mode and that has a Max speed of up to 10 MPH. Push that button one more time and you will see the D light up red and that means you are now in sport mode and that has the maximum speed of 20 MPH. In all three modes the scooter has a setting that doesn’t allow the throttle to be activated until you are going 2 MPH. Note that can be manually turned off in the settings option on the lcd screen as well. 

One very cool feature this scooter has that I have become very fond of is cruise control, yes you read that correctly this scooter has cruise control and it happens when you are holding the same speed for around 7 seconds. You will hear a relatively loud beep or chime and that informs you that you are using cruise control and can relax your thumb off the throttle and To turn the cruise off all you have to to do it lightly touch the brake or throttle and you will be in full control again. If the cruise control isn’t for you, you may go into the settings and manually turn it off so you don’t have to worry about it any longer. 

Coming in at 30 lbs they added a very easy to use folding ability, on the bottom neck of the scooter you will find a sliding lock that you can pull to the side and then you have access to a pull down lever, once pulled you will be able to bring the handle down to the base of the scooter, on the rear fender you will see a hole in the top of it where a little hook on the head of the handles will lock into securely so you can carry it one handed with ease! Such a nice feature! 

Last little bit of much necessary detail on this scooter is the 10” numeric tires that help shield you from the cracks in a sidewalk or small rocks and obstacles off road. You also get 5.5” of ground clearance! That’s plenty to get you over those speed bumps without worry! All models have a max rider weight of 275 lbs and front wheel drive.

Safety features

The Levy plus scooter is equipped with a very bright led headlight that can be manually turned on by double pressing your three line action button and turned off by doing the same. When the headlights are on the brake light is illuminated as well and when you are using the brakes it uses a strobe effect to further announce your stoping. When the headlights are off the use of the brakes will still engage the brake light to make sure your always seen when stoping. On the sides of the front and brake wheels you will find neatly placed reflective strips the front are white and the back match your scooter accent color, a very appealing touch. Also equipped is an Emergency brake. A brake like every scooter owner is familiar with, the old push the rear fender down will result in more wear to the tire but in the event that your disc brakes do malfunction you have a safe way to come to a stop. Also does come equipped with a one finger dual action bell that is loud enough to get the attention of someone walking near or maybe even a dog on the trail. Just that little extra comfort of being able to say hey here I am with the ease of a single pull of the bell. 

Conclusion

Overall I would have to say I am throughly happy and impressed with this scooter. Between having something to run around with the kids on to taking it on a nature ride down the river path. It can be easily folded and put in the car or carried into your hotel room on your trips to the city or your commutes to work. I really do like the looks and feel while riding as well it is very smooth and comfortable and makes it a breeze to use. Even my wife who’s always been afraid of trying new things gave it a try and we started her out going through the beginner – sport and she quickly became comfortable enough to use it on sport. That is mainly what makes this so great is how easy it is to use from the box to every day.
