iLiving V8 Foldable Electric Mobility Scooter

I have had my iLiving v-8 scooter for 15 months now and I love it! It's fun to ride and easy to maneuver. It is the easiest to operate, fold up and transport of the 4 scooters I have owned. I've taken it on multiple flights without a problem.There are a couple of design flaws but they are minor:First, on bumpy terrain the batteries sometimes shake loose, which causes the scooter to come to a dead stop. Fortunately that hasn't happened to me in the middle of a cross walk! I decided it would help to use the key that locks the batteries in place and leave them locked. But even with that precaution there have been a couple of times the batteries have still disconnected. I then have to turn the scooter off, push the batteries back down into place and turn the scooter on again. An inconvenience but not serious.The second problem has to do with locking the batteries in place to prevent theft. The manual indicates that is the purpose of using the key to lock them in place. But once they are locked in, the key cannot be removed. Which means that anyone could come along and unlock them and take the batteries. So this feature does not actually achieve what it was intended to do.But aside from these 2 small issues the scooter has worked perfectly. I would definitely buy one again!

Good scooter. I have some mobility issues involving walking distances and balance issues. Thus scooter has been used in a cruise ship and at Walt Disney World. Batteries seem to last forever. Speed is good. Very light weight compared to most scooters. Turning radius may be an issue at times, but with it being so light, I can just stand and lift the front wheel to point it in the direction I want to go. The fold up feature compacts the size into 17" x 17" x 32" tall which is great if you and friends want to sit in a booth for lunch, it can be folded and place next to the table without blocking access to the nooth.

Having owned this scooter for over a year now, we have used it for numerous trips including cruises and flights. The V8 is a well made, portable, and affordable scooter. Long lasting battery, good speed range. Folds quickly and easily to the size of a suitcase. It gets many positive comments about it's size and portability. Light enough for one person to load in the trunk, and yes, it only weighs 40 pounds (I actually weighed it). Easy to gate check when flying, and narrow enough to navigate cruise ships with ease. Negatives: speed control and abrupt braking take some getting used to, no basket or means to carry anything unless purchased separately, can be tipsy if turned quickly or surface is not level, and solid wheels tend to amplify bumps. Overall, the V8 has been a great purchase, and I would buy it again! However, the travel cover that is sold separately does not fit the V8 well and I do not recommend it.

First, I have muscular dystrophy and this is the only scooter that I can still get in and out of my car. It’s the perfect size and weight.However, within the first month of owning the scooter the lights on the control board stopped working. I have no idea how much battery power is left. I emailed customer service and they were unable to resolve the issue.Since everything else still worked, and since this scooter allowed me to get back into the world, I kept it and called it a minor annoyance.However, a year after owning the scooter more electrical issues have sprouted up. Now, sometimes I have to turn it on and off a few times before it starts to work. More troubling, when it does work, the start and stop levers don’t work and the scooter continues to move on its own.Basically, this is a $1,500 a year product. I don’t think it’s built to last longer than that.

This scooter is just so great. I travel a lot via air, ship and car. I can easily lift this scooter in the car-it weighs only 40 lbs and is super easy to fold up! It also goes 15 miles on one charge! I am very happy having bought this fantastic, great looking scooter. I am 88 years old and getting around now is so easy with my new scooter…Thank You iLiving! Oh one more thing, we called customer service to ask a question. They were very nice and knowledgeable about their product ( good to know for the future ;) )

EASY TO FOLD, LIGHT WEIGHT, HOWEVER NO MANUEL. Starter switch would lift out of scooter when we tried to turn on. Switch was not screwed down to base. Very disappointed because we were going on vacation. Returned!

Pros for this scooter are it is lightweight and very easy to assemble and fold. Ordered this so we could take it on airplanes and cruises. Arrived quickly and set up was easy.Cons: unable to turn key all the way. Contacted support and I will say they were friendly and helpful. This was an issue they had dealt with before and so I'm still wondering why they haven't corrected it before sending the scooter out. After trying a few things they suggested we were told to use one battery and tap the top of the second battery to get it in place. It worked but should not have had this problem since it was a known problem.Next con and reason we returned the scooter was the hard stop when slowing or wanting to stop. I'm not a small person and that jolt rocked me. I did not feel safe on the scooter thus it was returned for a refund.The scooter really looks nice and wanted it to work but it was just not for us.
