Have you made sure that the tyres are fully inflated. Flat tyres will make the scooter feel less stable. Scooter tips due to bad cambers are a common issue across all scooter types and users need to judge the surface and drive accordingly. Rather like riding a bike sometimes the user needs to lean a little on a scooter.

Not good for tall people knees short on space too low to the ground. Shame it could be better.only ever demonstrate these on flat surfaces with able bodied people riding on it heck even kids are in on the act now.
Okay, your comment is kind of rude hopefully you dont know cus otherwise its rlly offensive. As they ave said the people in these ads have invisible illnesses. Like me. I look normal and “able-bodied” but i am rlly not and need a scooter to move any distance, and my 10 year old brother has a serious condition and it means also needs a scooter/wheelchair. So saying “even kids are in on the act” is really horrible cus that kid could have serious conditions that means he needs it.
We Our goal is lightweight and compact travel which is what our customers demand. Beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder and our customers appreciate the tough, no nonsense style of our scooters.
@@eFOLDi Hello the limit can't be both speeds 4 and 8. By the way, your top speed of 6 km / hr is only 3.75 mp, as I said, way too slow and very dangerous moving across crosswalks! In addition the electronic brake will not stop the scooter on any incline. Every mobility scooter should have a mechanical brake for safety. Thanks
@@LowOnCash I believe you are talking about the eFOLDi Lite which has a maximum speed of 4mph which is the legal limit for a Class 2 mobility device. The ground clearance of the light is suitable for pavement use which is what we designed it for. The larger MK1.5 scooter has a switchable 4 or 8mph maximum speed and is Class 3. The 8mph limit is imposed by UK regulations governing mobility devices.
