Great so far!
I'm new to e-scooters, so I can't give a very informed opinion. As a noob, I had zero trouble getting up on the scooter and driving right off. (I'm a 61-year-old guy.) Before that happens, you have to unpack it, which is simple. It's packed well -- no damage to the device in transit. It came with a partially charged battery; I gave it a few more hours to top it off. It weighs what they say it weighs (around 60 pounds), so lifting it is, well, a lift. I drove it to a place where I could practice without running into anyone, and I found it easy enough to lift into and out of the back of my car. (Next trip I'll use bungee cords to secure it so it can ride upright with the kickstand down. Otherwise, you have to lay it on its side to transport it, which is probably not a great position for it.)
I got a dual-motor scooter because I had a fairly steep hill in mind where I'll often ride, and I haven't even activated the second motor yet (it starts with one motor active by default). The one motor got my overweight self up that hill EASILY (I weigh around 195 pounds). The brakes are excellent -- of course they work, but you can apply them gradually with no grabbing. No danger of being launched over the handlebars when braking. The suspension is adjustable, but I haven't yet felt the need; the ride is smooth and controlled. The acceleration is zippy. To get going, you have to commit -- put a foot on and give it some throttle while you swing the other foot into position.
For transporting or storage, it folds down easily. The handlebars fold down by unscrewing the fittings near the column. Your right hand turns toward you (counter-clockwise for the right fitting) and your left hand turns away from you (counter-clockwise for the left fitting), and after 8 or 9 turns, the fittings are loose enough to be pulled slightly to the side. This allows the handlebars to fold down toward the column. To fold the column down, unlatch/unhook the column (easy, but takes a little force) and guide it down toward the platform. There's a utility hook that you can hook onto the kickplate -- not a tight catch, but it's hooked on well enough to stay put.
I don't see any great options for locking the device to a bike stand. I got a foldable lock because the segments are thin; I'm not sure where I'll position the lock on the scooter, but I'm also unlikely to have the scooter out of my sight for long.
The controls are well positioned and easy to operate. You can get into a settings mode that has numbered options (that they nerdily refer to as P-codes, but they're just numbered options). It's like setting a digital clock -- one button cycles through the options, another cycles through the possible values for each option. Most of these you would not use unless you were more of an expert. The one you'll have to use if you want to remove the battery is option #1 -- it unlocks the battery.
All in all, a great noob experience. Really happy with my purchase, and I think I'll end up using the scooter for more than the occasional short trip that I originally envisioned.
