Zoom electric scooter moped quick review

[Larry1298]

I have owned several ebikes, scooters and gas mopeds in the past 20 years. And I love using them for different occasions: Ebikes when I need to exercise and cruise around the city; my gas moped when I commute to work everyday without getting too tired before getting to the office.

Last year, an ad for the Zoom electric moped scooter popped up on my Facebook feed, so I did some research online and took a gamble on this product. The scooter came to my door after 3 weeks.

Zoom was able to give me phone support even at night after my work for setting up the bike. After unpacking it, I charged it overnight. First off, the bike is quiet and smooth, and the anti-theft alarm gives me confidence that no one is going to be able to steal it.

On the first full charge, I was able to get about 50 miles of range, at speed up to 30mph.

Currently, I am looking for some add ons such as a big windshield and a big trunk. Zoom promised me a free cover but I am still waiting for it to arrive. I will keep updating my progress.

Update1: I was able to get up to 32mph today. The electric motor and disc brakes are very strong, so I have learned to smooth out my inputs to get a smoother ride.

I sure hope scooter reviews don't become a thing here. Plenty of other places and forums on the internet for scooters.

This is the off topic section. It's as good a place as any. A lot of us use micro-mobility vehicles as tools for covering distances. I for one hope to see more of this kind of thing. One less car is good for all of us.

Update #2

I was trying to lock my scooter and activate the alarm for parking. Their FAQ was not too clear on the instruction. I had to call them but they were helpful on the phone. I learned that I can actually turn and off the scooter with just the remote, without using the key. pretty cool secret feature.
