What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about performance: the title says a maximum of 25 miles, while product details state 15.5 miles and feature copy claims 16 miles. Motor claims also differ between 500W peak and 550W peak, and the details separately list a 400W rated motor. The title refers to 12-, 14-, and 16-inch versions while the product details specify 12-inch wheels. Confirm the selected variant and its range and motor configuration. A headlight and rear reflector appear in one detail, while feature copy claims a rear brake light. Basket and hook capacity claims are not confirmed as package contents. Range and speed are listing claims, not guaranteed results.

Frequently asked questions

The product details list a 400W rated motor and a 500W peak motor, while feature copy claims 550W peak. The listing does not reconcile these claims.

Yes, the listing describes a cushioned seat and rear dual shock absorbers. It also specifies 12-inch pneumatic tires.
