FIRST IMPRESSIONSBefore going on I want to mention that I had some reasons to contact their Customer Support, even before delivery, & found them to be first class in every way. They bent over backwards to assist me & in a timely fashion too. For me that is a HUGE PLUS!FIRST IMPRESSIONSMy K5 scooter came very well packed & everything was wrapped to avoid damage or paint scraping etc.You will need scissors to cut away all the wrappings. It will take some time to get it all unwrapped and ready to begin assembly.It was immediately apparent that this scooter is strong and well built. It weighs about 68 pounds.ASSEMBLYI have to say that the assembly is a non-trivial affair & it will require some time to get it together. Attention to detail is quite important too.As an example...The front fork is shipped backwards & before going forward tie front fork must be rotated 180 degrees from its shipping position.However, if you are careful to follow the instructions the assembly is quite straightforward and simple.Even so, after assembly there are some adjustments to make to get it ready to ride. In particular the brakes must be adjusted according to the instructions.This K5 model is a great scooter so far and I really like it. The weather is bad so I have only ridden it for a few minutes to test it.I will come back in a few days to let you know how it rides, etc.BTW, I am 5'10" and weigh 150 lbs & I'm in my 80's.FEATURESI lkie the fat tires on the K5 model as they make the ride smoother.A major feature for me is the steering geometry. It is well known that the steering column should be set at about 14 degrees from the vertical & virtually every bicycle follows this setting. To their credit Caroma has set the steering column at the proper angle.This makes the scooter steer just like a bicycle.On another scooter I own the steering column is nearly vertical and that makes the steering very sensitive and hard to control. (for me at least) Older persons, like me, will appreciate this feature.I also like the brakes & they do a good job of stopping.On the other hand I find the seat to be too hard & narrow & not to my liking.I will be looking for a better seat.

I don't have a car, and I needed a way to get to work. I've been looking for months for a scooter. I live 10 minutes from work. But getting home can be a chore. I have to go up a mile long hill. I needed a scooter that could handle that task. OMG! So excited and made it all the way up the hill. The seet in the back can double as storage for when I go shopping. Use a big bag and bungee cords. And also the basket in front. One of the best features of this scooter, it has cruise control. Once you get to the speed you want, push the cruise control button. And let go of the throttle. That's the trick for making it up the hill. Sure, it's slows down going up that hill. But, it never quit. Worth every penny!

It’s true that we are not using it for very long periods , but we go tandem with my 120 pounds and some times with my shih tzu (11pounds) extra in the basket , and we have no problems at all . It’s sturdy and beautiful . We are very happy with it

I first ordered a different model and within a few minutes of use the throttle snapped and stopped working. I returned that item. It was a pain to ship back as it was difficult getting everything to fit into the very narrow box since I could not remember it was originally packaged.Against my better judgement I purchased this model hoping it would be better. The throttle on this model is much more robust. The problem with this one is the battery stops working after about 10 minutes and then will be completely depleted of power. The motor is pretty strong so when you pull the throttle back to start it gets going quickly but then it stops causing you to lurch forward and if not expecting that you could potentially fall off of it. I proceeded with yet another return and Amazon was able to setup a pick up that did not require me to box it up. Since it was the battery that was the issue, before sending it back for return, I contacted Caroma customer service to see if they would send me a new battery if I sent them the defect. My wife has a different scooter that surprisingly worked with this model so I was pretty confident that was the issue. They asked me to send videos of what it was doing but that would be impossible since I would need at least 3 hands to do that. After a few emails I told them I was going to return to Amazon no problem. They asked me to give them a chance at fixing the problem for me. They asked for a picture of the battery label, video of the charger charging the battery and finally a picture of the motor label. They now say they don’t know what’s wrong with it and they’d like my address to see if they can find someone to come to my house to inspect it. That’s not happening. Should have returned it right away and saved myself the frustration.

Somewhat easy to assemble - been on several rides around the neighborhood - still charged up - this has been on flat surface - no hills - wish this model showed distance used and has a cheap clicker bell - but does have a good headlight - loving it so far!
