MotoTec Knockout 2000W 60V 36Ah Seated Fat Tire Lithium Electric Scooter

I actually only knock off part of a star for a couple of things. My use is for running around the property which is not flat and lightly rough. I have had it for only a few days so far. For 2000w it is a bit weak and I was expecting more! Is it really 2k? I am seeing 20-22kmph and it might get to 30kmph going downhill (km per hour not miles per hour) , but I am more interested in more low end and ability to climb slight hills on my property and it has some trouble. Overall I am okay with the design and build of it though. It has a sturdy feel and quality feel to components and is quiet.. The light is pretty bright and is a spot light style beam. I would like a broader beam for my trails at night so will try upgrading that. There is a switch by the throttle - I and II - which I assume is for speed which isn't mentioned in the manual. It seems to get a couple more km when on II. The brakes have a nice feel and work good. A nice display by the throttle for the battery charge level, speed, and distance (in km). The seat is a bit soft so I feel the bumps. I just stand up though for some of the riding and it is nice to have the flat bottom to stand on. The battery compartment sticking out the bottom is a bit low for some obstacles. The back tire is not working very well for me. No traction on wet ground as they are just groves. Would be fine for pavement but I don't have any. I will need to get tires with some kind of knobby tread. There is no regen or e-brake and since I am always going up and down hills it would be nice to have. I don't know if there is any programmability of the controller.

The packaging was adequate to survive the abuse by Fedex. It was cardboard around a metal frame and everything was well strapped in to the frame with wire. Once it was out I only had to install the handlebars. Mirrors and backrest were also packaged separate but I have not installed them. The manual is almost useless and in typically poorly translated English, but I was able to understand the battery hookup from it. This was the only thing in the process that wasn't obvious. There are two different kinds of batteries. One in the bottom and one below the seat. There is a connector for one at a time to be plugged in. There is a wire with a plug that plugs into either the battery below the seat or a plug under the seat for the battery in the bottom compartment. The battery below the seat is easily removable. The charger would not plug into the second battery. since the plug type does not exactly match. (The middle tab is the wrong direction which is not a problem if the plug allows for both, but the charger plug doesn't.) The manual doesn't say anything about charging but was pretty simple to figure out. Most likely you should make sure the battery is plugged into the charger before plugging and unplugging the charger from the wall. A green light says it is charged. and red says it is charging. It also has a little fan inside that runs while it is charging. It only took a couple hours to top off the battery the first time. I have not run the battery down yet. I have only run it around for about 10-15 minutes at a time and then recharged. The display has 5 bars for the charge and I have run down to 3 each time. My hills probably means I probably have less than half hour of constant riding on one battery. I will be mainly using this to get to places to do things and so it should be fine. If I was going to play hard with it I think the range might be a bit low.

I am happy with the purchase through upzy. No problem there.
Fedex took an extra week to deliver which is understandable for weather but I am so tired of not being able to get accurate tracking info from them! There was a big dent in the bottom end of the package that was absorbed by the frame and probably the tire. So the packaging worked.
The Knockout has been a pleasant surprise of quality but a bit weak on the power side. With 2kw motor it should have either more speed or there should be more torque!
I think I will be able to get use out of it though. Don't have any reliability info yet.
