A Scooter less than 30 lbs that can hit 26 mph! | Fluid Mosquito Electric Scooter Review
Introduction
Welcome back to our channel! Today, we're excited to review the Mosquito from Fluid Free Ride. This scooter is part of their own Fluid line and stands out as a single motor entry-level option. Let's dive into its features, including a carrying handle, adjustable handlebars, and impressive suspension.
Power and Performance
The Mosquito's power off the line is remarkable for its weight class. Weighing less than 30 lbs, it houses a 500 W motor in the front wheel. This scooter is capable of skidding the tires off the line – a feat for a single motor scooter. With one speed mode, it can reach speeds up to 26 mph, offering remarkable stability even at high speeds.
Unique Dual Throttle and Braking System
A standout feature is the dual throttle controls. One for acceleration and the other for regenerative braking. The Mosquito offers three braking mechanisms: electric, drum, and foot brake. Each offers a different stopping experience, with the drum brake providing a significantly quicker stop compared to the electric brake.
Range and Performance on Hills
Fluid Free Ride's range test with a 165lb rider averaged 15 mph, achieving 22 miles. In contrast, my experience at 190 lbs and an average speed of 23 mph yielded just under 9 miles, with over 620 ft of elevation gain. Despite its size, the Mosquito exhibits impressive torque for hills, maintaining a speed of 9-10 mph even on a 15% grade.
Design and Comfort
The Mosquito's handlebar is notably compact, spanning approximately 14-15 inches. It features a collapsible design and a folding mechanism, enhancing its portability. However, the LCD screen can be hard to read in full sunlight. The scooter's height is adjustable, and its deck, although not spacious, provides comfortable standing space even for larger shoe sizes.
Suspension and Ride Quality
Equipped with dual suspension, the Mosquito addresses the vibrations and bumps typically associated with solid tires. This balance between firm tires and a cushioned suspension system results in a comfortable ride, even on uneven surfaces like sidewalks and chip-seal roads.
Top Impressions
The three aspects that impressed me the most are the scooter's power off the line, its top speed of 26 mph, and the full suspension system, which is rare in scooters of this size and price range.
Conclusion
Overall, the Fluid Mosquito Electric Scooter stands out for its power, speed, and comfort. For more details, check out the product link in the description. Thanks for watching, and stay safe!
