The EMS-103 is very well made by the HYC Group in Taiwain. They have put together a great electric scooter that addresses what a lot of Americans need and want: SIZE and POWER. The wheel size is the biggest in its class at 4.0" by 11" . This provides stability when riding. The large frame and powerful 600 watt motor can handle most any size man or women with ease. Hill climbing is exceptional with a nice top speed of around 18 MPH on flat level ground. Expect an average 8 miles per charge, but load the included battery bag with another set of batteries($89.99 extra option) and bungee the batteries to the rear of the frame. When the batteries are run down in the deck, plug the extra set with the handy cable provided in the rear top of the frame, and BAM!, another 8 miles. Afraid of not being able to stop? Not with band brakes on BOTH wheels for worry-free stopping on a dime. The EMS-103 has off-road ability on hard-packed surfaces with front-suspension to ease the rattle of bumps. A twist-grip throttle and a bell on the handlebars are more features on this excellent buy. If you want a great all-around mulipurpose scooter at a great price, look no further than the EMS-103R!
