Cheap design, rubbish and inefficient scooter
I bought the Boardy Lite scooter and it is absolutely rubbish and not worth £400 for the following reasons:
It doesn't work in the rain
The brakes also don't work in the rain
Made cheaply with only 1 brake
They sell a brake booster on website, they clearly know their own brake doesn't work
I upgraded to a 'folding' version for an extra £110, it doesn't 'fold', it adds about 1kg in weight, the handle bar goes down but doesn't even stay, you can't click it down. This means you can't even carry it when it's folded. It was much easier to leave it unfolded and carry it by the handle, rather than not be able to carry it.
It performs the same as a Xootr scooter, which are less than £150
The Boardy website says it travels "10mph with no effort at all, 20mph with effort" I am extremely fit, my resting heart rate is in the low 40s and the most that scooter would do is about 6mph because it so cheap and inefficient.
If it cost £200, I'd be happy. But at £500, absolute waste of money.
