Pack the charger with you if you know you'll be near an outlet and you're worried.
I'd recommend switching it to 元 mode to lower the speed and eke out a few more miles, but most people should be able to get roughly 10 to 15 miles out of this thing on a single charge, if not more. At around 20 percent, the scooter starts to go slower instead of 24 mph, I was riding at around 13 mph. But when I took the scooter from Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, into the Financial District for a meeting-which involved going over the Brooklyn Bridge-it was at 10 percent by the time I arrived at my destination (an 8.6-mile trip). On a 5.2-mile round trip mostly on flat roads (to get some lemon bars from a local bakery), the Fluid Mosquito had 70 percent left in the tank. Fluidfreeride claims a 22-mile range, but this will vary depending on your weight (it supports up to 265 pounds), the terrain, and how much of your trip involves steep climbs. You're likely not going to go very far on the Mosquito.

In comparison, the Niu KQi3 Pro I'm also testing goes at a snail's pace of 8 mph over the same bridge. It went over the Manhattan Bridge at 16 miles per hour. Going up a hill? Don't worry! Unlike a lot of escooters that can only crawl up slopes, the Fluid Mosquito is powerful enough to climb with speed. It has a 500-watt motor that can easily rev up to 24+ mph on flat roads. By default, the scooter is set to L4, but I'm not sure why there isn't a simple mode button.Īside from its weight, power is the next best feature of the Fluid Mosquito.
You need to first hold down the regen brake lever, turn the scooter on, then press the Settings button to cycle between L1 (5 mph), L2 (10 mph), 元 (16 mph), L4 (24 mph), and L5 (no limit) release the regen brake to set it. For some reason, the Mosquito has a convoluted system that requires you to set the speed when you're at a standstill. Most escooters have a button you can press while riding to switch between modes to raise or lower speed. The color display shows a battery meter, speed, the temperature of the controller, and trip mileage/odometer. The horn button should really be easier to access, though it is loud enough to get the attention of any pedestrian or cyclist. I found these mushy buttons hard to press and reach with my hand while riding. In the very center is a display with four buttons in the front: horn, headlight, settings, and power. If you're riding fast and come to a sudden stop, you'll experience some skidding. It does the job, but I wouldn't have minded more stopping power. I've used this brake for most stops, but for anything sudden, you'll want to hit the rear drum brake lever on top of the right handlebar. The one on the right is the throttle, and the one on the left is the regenerative brake. There are two thumb levers near the center of the handlebars. (I mounted mine on the grip itself, which further cut the amount of space I had for my palm.) Thankfully, height wasn't an issue, since you can extend the stem a fair bit. For example, there's barely any room to attach a smartphone mount on the handlebars in case you wanted to use one for GPS. In consequence, ride quality suffers a bit. The handlebars aren't wide (you can fold them down to save even more space), and the deck can only fit my feet one in front of the other, not side by side. How exactly did the company shave down the weight? Well, take a good look and you'll notice that the entire frame is very narrow. It even has a comfortable grab handle on the stem so you can easily tote it around-a serious perk. It's very easy to fold down-undo a lock by the front wheel, push your foot on a folding lever, bring down the stem, and it'll click into a lock on the rear mudguard. I've hardly huffed and puffed taking this thing up my flight of stairs, or even up and down the subway system in Manhattan. At 29 pounds, the Fluid Mosquito is like a dream come true. Most scooters I've tested sit somewhere between 39 and 80 pounds, sometimes even more.
