Sorry I just realized I didn’t answer your question. It was an iScooter. Which is fine for my partner as they are smaller than I am. And with our little grift. Every time it tears up we get the check add to it and buy a slightly better one. But we started at around 300 and for real maybe this one was 500. Maybe it wasn’t 600. But there really hasn’t been much improvement and definitely not 200 dollars worth.
Sure, but you get what you pay for here. If you spend $500 you’re gonna get a disposable piece of crap. If you’re willing to step up to a nice brand (Rad bikes have a decent reputation) then you’ll get something that’s going to last several years, and the expendable parts (motor, battery, chain, gears, tires) are all replaceable. Theoretically, if you keep replacing those parts, a good e-bike will last forever. Whether or not you live near an e-bike repair shop is definitely a factor to consider, though.
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you just said. Truthfully, I would like one that folds but is suitable for off road. Like my partner rides theirs to work daily. I wouldn’t want to ride on the streets here it’s too dangerous for my taste. I do, however go fishing in some pretty remote places.
Sounds like you bought a crappy scooter, honestly. Which one did you get? Most of the generic Chinese brands are basically disposable.

Yeah I mean it is. But once again if you want one that isn’t like that it’s going to be far more expensive.
