[@Le_Mocha]

[@garrettscott9427]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[@KH-vu8is]

You so much decide to go with the ecoreco L5 👍🏻for NAU

[@garrettscott9427]

Great choice!

[@crdjeep123]

Do you mean s5?

[@KH-vu8is]

I’m deciding whether I want the M5 or the L5 they’re both bigger than the S5

[@allenelrod1504]

I'm in here somewhere

[@garrettscott9427]

I had to cut you out do to the shady conversation our third wheel was having.

[@reddeadlycreeper]

How do the buildings and classes feel about you bringing the scooter inside? Do they generally care if you bring the scooter into class and leave it at the back? Edit: Just as the video owner said there were no issues with me bringing my scooter to class, just leave it at the back or near the table you eat at and nobody really cares.

[@garrettscott9427]

There has been zero issues.

Hi Garry, Thanks for the video. I'm moving to a rural area to start my college, and it's about 4 mile radius town end to end. Your video inspired me to buy an electric scooter for my daily commuting to campus, supermarket, walmart, gym .. etc. And they all are within the 4-mile radius. I need to know what is your experience with the scooter in your daily life. Did it fill the need to use the car? At least for the activities I mentioned above? Im hesitant to buy a car considering the responsibilities that come with it. Thanks.

[@garrettscott9427]

Not buying a car, especially in today's economy, would save you a ton of money. My daily commute to campus was several cities away via the highway so a vehicle was a must. As for groceries I have a family of 4 so that would be really hard to carry all of those groceries. When I was younger I lived on Okinawa for 2 years. Much of my daily life was doable via a bicycle. Do you have any scooters that you could rent? If so then I would recommend renting one even if it costs $20. Then spend some time with it doing your daily commute. You will quickly understand how feasible the purchase is and if it is worth it. Thankfully, electric scooter prices have come down over the years. Also, consider the condition of the roads. Scooters dont do well over pot holes.

[@deltasquad8817]

Oh shit from the thumbnail I recognized that college

[@garrettscott9427]

yup, OU

[@ashf8960]

Can you carry a heavy bag? Or buy groceries easily with it?

[@billiondime]

yes

[@t.mouttate6772]

Where do you put your scooter when you get to class?

[@garrettscott9427]

usually up front where the teacher is teaching

[@funes4355]

do you take your scooter to the classroom?

[@garrettscott9427]

Yeah, zero issue

[@midgitlad968]

Would it fit in a school locker?

[@garrettscott9427]

I have doubts. This things folds up but is still pretty long.

[@random.fandom.011kh9]

Hay just bought the S5 don’t know if it’s on training or not but it keeps on shutting down by itself in the middle

[@garrettscott9427]

That isn't normal. I would reach out to ecoreco support. They are very helpful. My first S5 ended up being a lemon so they sent me a new one within a few days.

[@KH-vu8is]

I’m going to college this year I don’t deciding if I should get an electric scooter do you think it’s worth it

[@garrettscott9427]

I recommend spending the first semester without it and that will be the best indicator of the need for one. Many of my classes are from one side of the campus to the other and I only have 10 minutes to get there before class starts. The scooter allows me to zip across campus quickly and still have time to get to class, use the bathroom, and chat with friends before class starts. Electric scooters can cost a lot of money, but for me it is very much a worthy investment.

[@andreagaribay4597]

do you wear a helmet? is it heavy to carry it around?

[@garrettscott9427]

I don't wear one. And I wouldn't be a good measure of if something is heavy since I weight 285 lbs.

[@jcrottie]

How fast are you going?

[@garrettscott9427]

0 to 17mph

[@KH-vu8is]

What’s is the max speed for you personally?

[@garrettscott9427]

For the S5 and 230lbs I see a max speed of 15-17mph. Great for around campus.

[@random.fandom.011kh9]

Can you get over 20 miles or change the top speed

[@garrettscott9427]

20 mph is the max. Top speed can be toggled between I think 12 and 20. I am sure it can be modified to go faster.

[@mandy7023]

How many kilometers can it reach full charge

[@anilkumarravela6939]

Don't like this remove this

[@garrettscott9427]

Okay
