    Overall

    I used M10 LITE scooter to commute, so far so good.

    Everyone is getting used to faster service or less waits. I find it too slow to walk to and from places. I spent quite a bit of time researching scooters and this is the cheapest one I've found yet that meets my needs. When I was saving up for a car, I used it to commute, so far so good. Top speed is 16mph and the ride takes about 40 minutes and since 99% of the terrain is almost flat (concrete, asphalt, etc.) I don't mind the speed, nor the ride that long.

    Build quality is pretty good. It's mostly assembled. All you need to do is assemble the front end and the wire according to the manual. It will be more intuitive and easier to understand if you go to the TURBOANT website to get the assembly video and instructions. To be honest, I didn't notice that there was a wire that I needed to connect when I first assemble it. I didn't look at the manual until I cannot turn on the scooter. Maybe you guys need to pay attention to this too:) There were no difficulties with the assembly and everything else seemed to work great.

    I charged it before my first ride. It basically charges right out of the box and only takes about an hour to charge. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light on the charger lights green. I did a lot of riding on residential streets and bike paths, and after testing it with no issues I started using it for commuting.

    Wheels: I was a little nervous because these are pneumatic tires and many reviews said they were a pain to replace. However, I have no complaints so far. I have had them for almost 2 months now and I have ridden them on small rocks, and they are still going strong. I always try to be careful where I ride and not be careless. However, sometimes this is unavoidable. Since there's air in it, I guess it helps with bumps and rocks. While I can still feel them and the ride is rough, the hard tires definitely make the ride harder and less smooth.

    Weight: I'm a 4'9"" woman and weigh just over 100 pounds. The scooter weighs about a third of my weight, and since the battery is under the pedal, the weight is evenly distributed. The scooter can be lifted by hand after folding the pole. For me, it's a bit heavy. I recommend getting a handle or strap. Or go to the gym and work out more so you can handle it.

    Mileage and Speed: As for range, I'm happy with it. I drove at top speed for most of the trip and came home with the battery of one and two bars, depending on the throttle. It cruises at two bars and will drop to one bar when accelerating. I didn't notice any slowdown on the scooter during the entire trip. This may have something to do with my weight and the road I ride on. If you weigh 80 pounds and live on the flat, you never have to stop and you get a lot of range. If you weigh 220 pounds (the scooter's maximum weight rating) and live somewhere with a lot of steep hills and a lot of stop-and-go, your range will be much less. this is how science works

    Battery life: The manual says it takes 4 hours to fully charge. Today I only charged 3 bars (full charge is 4 bars), and my 40-minute drive was okay because I didn’t drive it to the maximum as usual. It has a top speed of 16 mph (your weight will also affect how fast it goes, 13 mph/or less). If I only had two bars of power when I left, it would be hard to do, and I would have to walk or push my scooter a few blocks to work. This happened to me once. I hope this gives you a good idea of battery life.

    I paid a little over $300 for this scooter. The price is not bad at all. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, but I feel like even if it's a cheaper scooter, I'm lucky to have it.

    Train Tickets

    This company charged me USD 296 for 2 tickets from Edinburgh to London, a reservation done with more than 2 months in advance. They never show me or inform me of any price breakdown during the reservation process in order to know the service fees and taxes. Then a month later I received the tickets with total face value of USD 162, therefore the fees and taxes changed are more than 80% of the face value of the tickets. I understand that an intermediary company for buying tickets (of any kind) should charge fees and taxes, but more than 80% is a big robbery. Never again using this website. I recommend to go directly to the train services providers website to buy the tickets, but don't use Rail Ninja... they are thieves, this company has no added value and is stealing customers. I was also not able to cancel the tickets because I will lost the money. Lesson learned.

    Face masks

    I ordered my masks at the end of April as the pandemic was accelerating across the U.S. There were delays in shipping, but given the situation, I wasn't concerned about it. My research convinced me that Vida delivered a well made product, as evidenced by the reviews, and was worth waiting for.

    The delays stretched for quite a while. Many companies who got their product from various markets in China and Asia were reporting the same problems (getting product through customs, etc.). There was a delay in information coming from Vida, so I wasn't sure what the status was on my order.

    Much to my surprise, I was informed that they were refunding my shipping fees (and I'm sure many customers received the same notice). Vida was still trying to get in product and get it organized for shipment. I reached out and they were able to get my order set up and shipped, and then followed up to make sure things were on track.

    That focus on the customer, in the face of challenges in availability, shipping, and personnel that were caused by the pandemic, reinforced my original conclusion. The fact that the masks are comfortable to use, are well constructed, and had the features I was looking for (two different cloth layers, pocket for a filter, wire for custom fit around nose) didn't hurt things, either. I ordered additional masks so there would be enough for my family. The order was handled speedily!

    I appreciate a company that looks out for it's customer in the face of challenges and steps up to "make things right". I spent many years dealing with vendors, and always looked forward to working with those who supported the customer. Things didn't always go the way I thought they should, but the vendors who were really interested in the customer consistently stepped up when necessary. In my opinion, Vida has done the same. Thank you!

    Ronald - Thanks so much for your thoughtful review of your VIDA masks. We hope to see you back at VIDA as a customer in the future. Best, Peter // VIDA

    Love my mask from vida, especially the fact that they have filters. The mask is very comfortable and easy to wear because it is adjustable.

    Terrible company. Read the recent reviews or look at BBB. They are scammers.
