We got The Prodeco Mariner S. Well designed and made in USA with Chinese components. The advertized range is 25-35 Miles. I got close to 18. The battery goes dead with little warning. The full charge indicator started flickering shortly before the battery went flat. Top speed approaches 20 MPH.The motor is very torquey. The one problem we had so far was flat tire. A tube was punctured by a small thorn. The only way I could find it was running my finger along the inside of the tire. Close examination revealed half a dozen thorns embedded in both of my wife's tires. My tires had none. Changing the tube was a snap. The Swiss army knife tool kit had two tire spoons which made peeling the tire off very easy. I bought 2 Slime innertubes so hopefully this type of failure might not happen again. I hope this wasn't too much info for you. ;-) |

Did you/can you get a spare battery pack? |
