TurboAnt (TA) V8, set on level #3 (fastest level), equipped with honeycomb wheels, I’m 59 y/o and weigh 201 lbs I went 14.25 mi up hills, down hills, stop lights, grassy corners, sidewalks, stopping for everything you absolutely have to stop for on a busy street and out of 5 charging bars I still had 2 bars. Most of the time I could easily get it to lock on cruise control and it would hold 20 mph very consistently. On hills it would slow down 16 or 17 mph and really steeper hills it would bog down to 11 mph and on the next downhill though it went back to 20 mph. People at a bus stop were in my way so I cut across as grassy area behind the bus stop, the V8 had no issues it cruised right over the grass. Don’t let go of the hand bars, it’s very unstable, I never wrecked but, if you wipe your face or eyes you could easily loose balance and eat asphalt. TA V8 can really do the 50 mi claimed, but you can only do that on level 1 and your max speed on lvl 1 is 5 mph. Lvl 2 can do 10 mph, lvl 3 will do 20 mph. So really, what TA did was find the line of best fit to get a scooter to go 50 mi and still not weigh a 125 lbs and have a little power with the 450 watt motor. Its perfect for 3 miles to the bus/train stop, but the weight of 37 lbs, that’s a lot for someone to carry on a bus, 21 lbs would be better but you wouldn’t get the mileage out of the batteries, a scooter of 21lbs just wouldn't have the battery capacity. The 37 lbs is from the well-built design and the batteries so again you have to look at the purpose to get 50 mi. I'm able to still fold up the V8 and get it on the bus, in spite of the weight. When you’re on cruise control you don’t’ want to stop but you’ll have to at/for cars, intersections, wet spots, sandy areas, etc… you could get 1 mile in 3 minutes, but that’s not the case in the city, so to go 1 mile you should probably estimate about 5 or 6 minutes, on the safe side. 10 miles about 50 minutes, sorry that’s just the way it is! Would I purchase again? Yes, I purchased to get to the bus stop from home and the bus stop to work and the reverse about 4 mi / day. Aside from being a little on the heavy side I would purchase again, its reliable.

Fantastic smooth ride! The speed is very fast. The power is strong. Very easy to use and is very robust and secure. By far the best electric scooter we have purchased.
Nicholas B.
Love it. The quality is great. I drove 10 miles and only used 1-1\2 bars on the battery gauge. Works well all around and I'm satisfied with the performance of the product. Compact, Durable, Lightweight, Easy to Use, and actually quite speedy for the size.
Hatem S.
Arrived very fast. Runs awesome, super fun. Can’t wait to use it more this summer.
Adriana V
This is perfect for me and my wife, only going a few miles a couple of times a week. Easy to assemble, straightforward controls. It's very fast and with our light use, the battery has been great. We loved this so much.
Craig
Fast delivery. My kids and I have been riding it just like the other scooters that we have and this one is performing as well as any of our other scooters. Thanks TurboAnt for having this discounted product as an optional purchase! I really like your product and am hoping to next purchase.
Cesar S.
THANK YOU TURBOANT! Your product is the best for me, and yes I would purchase more, once you change your first flat, which is not that hard, you will become one with that scooter, I did. Highly recommended.
Amanda
I'm very impressed with the TurboAnt so far. Sleek design and great features. Battery life and rang are great. The scooter is well made and is easy to operate. It would be nice if there was a turn signal to let drivers behind you know if you are about to turn.
Thomas S
The TURBOANT V8 blows all other scooters in that price range out of the water. I'm a college student and I can ride this scooter around every day. The only weird thing is that the batteries can't be used separately, both batteries need to be charged to ride. If you do a lot of nighttime driving, try this model, V8's lights are great!
Robin
I am a big rider, close to the scooter's published weight capacity, it gets me around nicely. I'm lucky enough to live in a flat area, and I've been happy with its performance so far. If I had hills nearby, things might be different.
Radu
Quiet, stable, fast and brakes well. Looks nice and solid. I use it every day to get to work. Great battery life. Good speed. Front and rear lights for night riding. The suspension does an amazing job. I highly recommend the scooter.
Christopher
I bought it to replace my bike so that I could easily carry it onto the bus and to my place of work. It's perfect for my short travel to the bus stop, located 5 blocks from my home. The 20 mph, powerful motor, and long battery life are perfect for my needs. I just hope the price drops in the future, so I can buy another one for my brother.
Luke
This scooter is pretty good and fast, it goes up to 20mph, it lasts long enough to get around the city. It's pretty smooth on the road and it's really easy to use. The batteries can be charged separately, and charging is very fast, about 4 hours. Compared to other scooters I've owned, it's well worth the price.
Vannara T
Purchased for my camper. I have used it every morning and the scooter worked perfectly. They should proudly show that this very good SCOOTER is designed, manufactured, and distributed in China. Highly recommended!
Stanley
The scooter is great and works perfectly, apart from one single point. The scooter is a bit heavy to really fit into my car trunk. Apart from that single point, I am delighted to use the scooter and it really saves a lot of time. Thanks for the great product!
Aaron
Doing great. The motor engages perfectly even in cold conditions when trying full throttle. Pumps up okay with a regular bike pump, but an electric type would be much convenient. Two batteries are a lifesaver for long commutes. Well worth the money.
Robin W
Bought this to replace another brand. This scooter has been very useful for getting around Boston. It is solid, has a very nice suspension, and goes up to advertised speed, super fast (20 mph for a 215lb guy). I like the lights, especially the ambient lights, which are cool. The chargers are more robust than the others. Charging is very fast. Very well made, I think it's the best scooter for the price.
Autumn
So far I'm very impressed with my Turbo Ant. Battery life and scooter range is fantastic. Very well built and easy to operate. Quite fast for a scooter too. Cheers!
Sean
This scooter is FUN, easy to use, with fast speed and great battery life! It can easily climb the slope on my commute. I didn't realize how necessary headlights and brake lights were until I started riding around every night! Get yourself one! The description is accurate.
Lorraine
For me, this scooter is a very successful purchase. I have owned this scooter for 5 months and I am glad that I bought it, it has never failed me once and did not break down. So happy with it.
Guzman
This scooter is definitely of quality. As someone who commutes to work every day, I need a scooter that is reliable, fast, and easy to use, and this one delivered on all fronts. It's well worth buying.
Makani
Power-packed features with this scooter. It is perfect for my daily routine. After using it for 2 weeks, the stem battery bars flash. I am really nervous about it. Then the issue was solved after taking the support team's advice and reinstalling the battery. High recommended.
Fisher
Coolest scooter I have ever seen. Four lights near the pedal, emitting dazzling lights when traveling at night, which greatly improves my "survival rate". Haha, just an exaggeration.
Overall, the scooter is durable, strong and impact-resistant. The last time my scooter was scratched by a car, it still survived:)
Robyn T
I bought this electric scooter for my daily commute and I have to say it's worth every penny. It is extremely versatile and fast. Extremely easy to carry as it can be folded, the most satisfying is the quality and design of the scooter. The battery life is incredible. Value for the money!
Kevin
This is a cool scooter. I'm an older guy, but even so I still had a lot of fun on the scooter. I use it regularly at campgrounds and to and from work, and it's great!
Alissa
This scooter is quite powerful, reaching a very good speed of 20mph, and climbs the hills in my area with ease and without any problems. The ride is smooth and battery life has been excellent so far. It even has cruise control. I will buy another one for my husband soon.
Lori A
Easy to fold up, and easy to charge up, the LED ambient light is really cool. I just took it for a spin and it was so much fun. I bought it for my husband who won't be able to use my car during the day so this will be his local transportation. Recommend.
Jackson K
I really like this product. It's very sturdy and doesn't tip over when there are bumps or when I drive it on the road. It goes 18 to 20 mph and can support my weight, 245lbs. Good value for money!
Bryan E
It's pretty much fun. You can fold it if you want to throw it in the car. Could've saved a lot of money if I knew how cheap it was to just buy one of these instead of leaving the meter running all day haha. Oh, and the LED ambient lights are pretty cool!
Jason W
I use this scooter for traveling on my college campus since my classes are very far from my dorm, so far so good. It's extremely well built, easy to assemble with several screws, foldable, powerful, fast, and sturdy. The battery lasts better than expected. Another thing that makes me happy is that this is a honeycomb tire and I don't have to inflate the tire. Nice purchase.
Abby T
It's pretty much fun. You can fold it if you want to throw it in the car. Could've saved a lot of money if I knew how cheap it was to just buy one of these instead of leaving the meter running all day haha. Oh, and the LED ambient lights are pretty cool!!
George
I'm a big dude, 6'2" 250lbs and this thing is solid and sturdy. The brakes are easy to use, and effective. It's faster than I expected. It folds down small enough to store and carry easily. I think I will get lots of use from it. Really happy with this purchase!
judy
I used the scooter for a few weeks, the whole thing is right. clean use
Leandro
I have mine now for a few months and it's pretty sturdy. I weigh about 260lb. Easy to fold and I didn't break it yet with my fat leg lol. However, if you live on bumpy sidewalks be aware. The speed might be lower.
Kim
I'm 6' and 249 lbs and bought it for traveling around town, the motor is powerful, I can even ride it on a pretty decent incline. Fast speed, brakes well, very stable. It's exactly as described.
Sarah
Great purchase wiht this scooter, powerful motor mode is a significant boost of power. Easily tackles hills in power mode and accelerates much more quickly.
Matthew
Looks sturdy and arrived in good condition. Easy to assemble. The customer service is very responsive and helpful, I have no complaints so far, I love the scooter.
Bryce S.
I'm really enjoying the way the scooter handles. It gets chair mileage per charge thanks to the powerful batteries. I can usually use it for 2 weeks on a charge!
Melissa B.
I ride the scooter every day to and from work (1.6miles away) and accidentally got the scooter caught on something and served one of the wires and turbo ant sent video on how to replace and always helps me with my scooter. The company is a good company to work with.
Tracie G.
Really an excellent scooter especially for its performance. dual batteries make a long distance accessible. Folds easily and can be put in the trunk of my car.
Gregory
I bought this so I could ride the scooter with my son. I found it easy to operate and I like its brake system. It's a little pricey but I don't mind. I found it a little tricky at first to fold and unfold but it's not a big problem. I endorse this product.
Joseph
Love it the ride is a little rough with the honeycomb tires but I know they won't pop this way but overall great product built very nice just wish the weather would warm up to ride it a little more
Brian S
Fast delivery, I unboxed the scooter last week, everything is fine and my son enjoys his riding time so much, the shock absorption is an exceptional feature.
Brandi
Excellent Electric Scooter, Well Build, Long lasting Battery, Tail Safety Light, Front LED Light, Solid Tires. This is by far the best electric scooter I've ever used
Pat
Have had a V8 for about 7 months and it has been great. Have reached out to the TurboAnt support team twice with questions and they have been very helpful and responsive. Would recommend!
Rachel
I see that my neighbor owns a V8 scooter, which looks cool. So I buy one. When I tested it last Sunday, it reached 20mph, I didn't use the max speed for my safety, I think 16mph is enough for me. I will recommend it to my friends.
Michael
Have been particularly want to buy a scooter, did not find the right one, my friend introduced to buy this V8 model, have been using it for 2 months, it is very good, fast, very stable. The cruise mode allows resting the thumb. Recommend buy.
Anita
After using my V8 electric scooter for more than 3 months, I see that it is as good as I expected and I've enjoyed riding it. No dents, scratches, or any unpleasant surprises.
Aiden
so much fun! for the first e scooter I've bought worth every penny!

Update 24 February 2024
I was very impressed it delivered great performance and a wide range of awesome functions and features for a friendly price.
I did a mass of research before making my final purchase, The V8 Dual-Battery Electric Scooter came to me and I was supersised by its great features and design!
Amazing build quality, plenty of gentle features you don’t see on similar prices scooters. After using the scooter for over 300 miles now, I am confident to say it truly is as good as my first impression in terms of features and comfort.
First things first, the easy setup directly out of the box was a wonderful experience. The price is a perfect compared to other scooters in the dollar and class bracket. Front wheel drive motor supplies consistent power from full battery charge till end. I'm extremely happy with this model and brand and will be purchasing again.
Positives I like the most:
- Dual batteries ensure my all-day activities on a single full charge, commute to and from work, grocery shopping in a nearby supermarket, a family get-together at a local restaurant, and much more.
- 450W powerful motor, it provides a great performance that delivers an awesome riding experience with many nice features and is really fun with bright light and moderate off-roading.
- 4 hours fast recharge. The scooter comes with a charging dock for the stem battery and 2 charging adapters, allowing both batteries to be charged in parallel and reach full capacity in just 4 hours.
- A little heavy but this feature seems to help with ride feel over rough terrain
- Sports Mode provides a significant increase in power. You can easily go uphill and accelerate faster in sports Mode.
- The suspension works well, making you feel comfortable even on a long travel.
- The headlight is very bright and when turned on, all the deck lights and taillights look great as well, enhance the nighttime visibility in terms of safety.
- The tires grip well even when riding on slippery roads. No skidding easily.
- The grips are made of high-quality material that is not easy to wear out and have an integrated design with the headstock.
- This outstanding customer service experience has truly made me a happy and satisfied customer. It's reassuring to know that Turboant is dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction and goes the extra mile to make things right.
Not "perfect" Positive:
The display is not that easy to read in any light.
- The locking mechanism should be straightforward and handy to use.
- The stem doesn't stay quite fixed in one direction when folded, so beware of sliding while carrying it.
- The V8 dual battery scooter may not be tall enough for some tall people.
- The battery may be depleted faster in the last two bars, it’s uncomfortable to know when it will shut down.
The bottom line is that I am very satisfied with the product and it has been extremely worth it. No regrets so far.
Elton
Last month I got a V8 scooter from my brother and so far I'm really excited to have it, the only thing I'm not happy about is a slight scratch on the display, that's okay, Turboant customer service fixed that perfectly.
Lorcan
I purchased a TurboAnt V8 electric scooter with 9.5'' honeycomb tires one month ago, and I must say it's a great purchase! This scooter has made my work commuting so much more convenient, I no longer need to take public transport, saving a lot of time, I regret not buying it earlier.
Blaise
I love my Turboant V8 scooter and can't wait to share it with you guys!!!! As a 30-year-old it has been so much fun to feel like one of the kids again. My husband made fun of me for my purchase, but even he had to admit this scooter is really fun! Thanks for making such a fun product that allows me to play with my daughter and is a fun way to practice my balance and get used to rolling again, it is also a relaxed way to exercise my dog, a great way to see cities!! We like to go to different cities park the car for the weekend and use our scooters. And as a bonus, I get to cruise around the campground on it to the bathroom lol.
I’m a tall and large woman (220) and it was hard to find a scooter that 1. Could maintain my weight 2. Could accommodate my size 11 feet - much less side by side. So I was so impressed with this scooter that it checked all the boxes! The footboard is nice and wide and long! It is a suspension scooter that glides with ease and can go pretty fast, so sturdy and smooth! I can get on it with no problems and it rolled fine.
The scooter itself is not too heavy and the model is stylish with excellent construction. Nothing flimsy about this scooter. Wheels roll true and are solid. If you have no experience riding a kick scooter, I think you'll be pleased to discover that the low platform and sturdy construction will make you feel quite confident in a very short time. As long as you remain ever attentive to pedestrians and motorists (above all the crazy ones!), you will likely derive great pleasure and satisfaction from owning this scooter. I know I have.
I love how easy this scooter is to fold down so that I can stash it in the car beside the kids' scooters to take to the walking trail. Easy push button to open and collapse the scooter, just need to pay attention to how you hold the scooter when opening.
The front and back brakes work well and help with the terror of going at a decline (just use your breaks before you zoom too quickly out of hand). Of course, the wheels might need replacing eventually because of my weight and sidewalk (and I'll get that done because I have to do the same for my expensive bikes), but for now, I'm really enjoying myself.
I don't know how I ever lived without it. I should have purchased this a long time before! Even in this short time I've had the scooter, it has really improved my quality of life (especially for a bigger woman who would never get on a skateboard because of balance issues). I fell in love with scooters and I decided to trust your brand as the best choice that was going to offer me the quality I needed. Highly recommended!
(I hasten to add, I got a gym membership a month ago; that, plus an improved diet, plus my Turboant scooter will no doubt reduce my weight in the weeks and months to come. Wish me well.)
RoadTripper09
A great scooter easy to assemble and make sure it's fully charged before your first ride. The best part of it is you set the cruise control let go and enjoy the ride
Bryce
This TurborAnt V8 scooter has surpassed all my expectations, and is full of happy surprises!!
If you are a big boy searching for a scooter and are worried, don't be cause gosh dang this boy is a beast! I'm a disabled veteran and weigh 240lbs. I bought this scooter so I could roll around the zoo, parks, neighborhood, etc with the family, it works great for that, and now I use it instead of my car most of the time.
The scooter is much more substantial than I expected; it's rather heavy to lift in and out of a trunk frequently, so I keep it parked just inside the door, but it folds up very easily.
This scooter holds me on Eco Mode I go 6 mph, on Comfort Mode about 9mph, and on Sport Mode goes about max 20mph, but holy moly it's fast. To be honest, I wouldn't want to go any faster as it's intense. This can go about 50 miles on Comfort Mode and that's pretty far to be honest depending on your commute. It's a lot of fun and the lights on it are amazing for night rides, especially for cars. Because the running lights, turn signals, and brake lights are very visible in traffic.
It's clear everything on this scooter was very well thought out: solid tires to avoid flats, disc brakes work great, and the headlight, brake light, and ambient lights are easy to see. The 3-speed function is awesome, and the dual suspension with the spring action seat post makes the ride very comfortable. I love the cruise control also - it works at any speed! Although I actually had to read the owner's manual to turn it on, from walking with my 12-year-old at 3mph to cruising to the store at 28mph, the cruise control is awesome. In addition, the V8 electric scooter's 450W motor provides a lot of power. The strong motivation has made me more confident to face all kinds of road conditions, which is an experience I have never experienced before. I love this machine.
However, it does ride a bit rough on gravel but that's due to the all-solid wheels instead of tube tires. I think it's a great trade-off as you don't have to worry about flat tires or air pressure. This scooter is great fun to ride, has long range, and charges quickly. Overall if you debating on this scooter just get it. It's better than most and especially for big boys and girls it's more than perfect!
At the same time, I would like to mention that there are a couple of minor negative points:
1) the digital display is great at night, but the brightness level is not adjustable.
2) I think that the user manual is not so easy to understand.
3) the scooter does not have a seat. As this scooter can run for a really long range of 50 miles, standing on the scooter for a long time might get tiring and intense. I would recommend upgrading the scooter and adding a seat on the scooter.
If TurborAnt can improve scooters in the future, this scooter will definitely be the one to choose. That being said, I highly recommend this scooter now! ! !
Orpheus
Very safe for riding at night! The range of the headlights is not as far as the headlights of the car, but it is enough. The left and right lights in front of the pedals are especially very helpful. We can clearly see the ground and even the sides of the scooter are also illuminated!
AnimalLover101
So, I would say this is a great scooter. Many people may complain that the price is high, but I assure you it is because they have very limited knowledge about these things. First of all, let me say that I purchased it for $622.43 (tax was charged), and if a lower price is listed in front of you, it is best to consider grabbing it early, will be a great value for money.
The scooter showed its beautiful and durable qualities when it first arrived. The tires travel down our dirt driveway without getting deflected by rocks in the road. My son weighs 110 pounds, and it really goes well with him on it. It even pulled me around (nearly 190 pounds) with no problem. The batteries can last a long time, just make sure you allow enough time to recharge them when they run out of juice.
It is quite stable even at full speed. Tires require 36psi to be fully inflated. If you use their free valve adapter, inflating will be easier. To pump tires, you need to remove the cover and install the adapter on the valve, and then you can use an inflator or electric inflator to inflate the tire. But take my advice and buy a good quality valve extension, made of metal and at least 3 or 4 inches long. Be careful when inflating as it doesn't require a lot of air to raise the pressure. Take your time and check often.
The brake works on the rear wheel. Upon assembly it was already adjusted well and works well. It will be better if you shift your weight to the back of the scooter when parking. The motor is adjustable in speed and has three speed levels, which can be done through the function button. When you twist the throttle to different amplitudes, the motor will go different speeds. If you want to go slower at the beginning, choosing level 1. After you get used to it, you can consider higher speeds, and everything will be fun. This scooter cannot take off on its own from a complete stop and requires you to help it with your feet initially. The rear hub acts like a bicycle. Scooters do tend to slow down without power. I don't mind that because you can slow down to a stop without using the brakes if you think ahead.
There is a charging dock, two chargers and two batteries (so the two batteries can be charged separately and can be fully charged in only 4 hours), and the charger is easy to use. The stem battery can be charged on the charging dock, while the built-in battery under the pedal can only be charged through the charging port on the scooter. The charger has a light that can change from red to green, so you know when it's fully charged again.
Just a warning here... I don't recommend chasing your dog on a scooter through the living room, down the hallway, and into the master bedroom. It can only end badly.
My son has been riding the scooter for a while. Everything is fine with one exception. The kickstand accidentally fell off while riding and couldn't be put back together, I immediately contacted customer service and got a quick response. Make sure you have a pdf of your invoice so you can email it to them if you have any questions. After I provided all the information, they sent me the new kickstand. Installation is easy. The previous one couldn't be installed because one of the screws was missing...
Tiberius
I'm extremely happy with my purchase! This scooter has literally changed my life and how I travel and use public transportation, saving me A lot of time.
Virgil
None of us have used this scooter at night before. At nine o'clock last night, I went downstairs to ride it and went around a few times to feel the lights of the scooter. There is a headlight in front of the scooter, there is a total of 4 lights on the front and back of the pedal, and there is also a taillight. This design is amazing.
Octavius
The scooter has 2 batteries, so the battery life is very long. I usually ride a scooter to and from get off work, and I don’t need to charge it every day. If I just go back and forth between home and work, I only charge once every 4 days on average.
Bertram
My commute to and from work is about 5 miles. I usually commuted by bicycle before. But now I have a scooter. The speed of the scooter is quite good. This saves me a lot of time, and I don’t need to use my own strength to ride a scooter. So much easier than riding a bike! It is no problem to bring a scooter into the elevator. The scooter is not big.
Cornelius
Parking is very convenient. We park the scooters directly on the side of the road and lock the scooters with the U-shaped lock bought at Turboant. We really love the scooters, and now we even take them with us to the beach, and they fit in the trunk of the car, no problem at all.
Maximilian
I feel confident that, when I leave on the V8, I will get home without any problems. The scooter's performance has actually improved noticeably. The V8 is finally the scooter I thought it would be when I first ordered it. So the V8 scooter with honeycomb tire is much recommended.

Julian
An additional battery concealed under the V8's deck in addition to the one on the stem. This battery boosts the scooter's range, allowing me to go more miles. With the extra battery, I never have to worry about running out of juice during those longer rides. Traveling long distances with friends is also a pleasure.
Isaiah
The V8 scooter is as good as I expected and I've enjoyed riding it. It arrived quickly and it was securely wrapped. No dents or scratches.
Chase
I received my V8 scooter one morning a few months ago, as soon as I opened the door, I saw the package containing my lovely scooter. It was well packaged and I was very surprised! The scooter was immediately unboxed and installed. It is very simple to assemble. There are tutorials in the manual. I also received additional instructions from customer service via email before I received it. Just follow the steps to assemble and it will be done in about 3 minutes! The scooter body is not as huge as it looks in the pictures. After folding, it is usually placed in a small corner. It is no problem to put it in the trunk of the car. The folding operation is simple and even a little girl can handle it easily. It is better than a bicycle in carrying and storing, riding a scooter is also easier and less strenuous than riding a bicycle.
The scooter is great in terms of quality, design, and performance. I bought a cheap one before and it broke after just a few uses. This time I spent a little more money to buy it for quality. The actual scooter did not disappoint me. It looked like it was worth more than 1,000 US dollars. Great product, the materials are quite solid and the overall design is simple and fashionable. I feel like I have found a treasure. lol.
When I received the scooter, the battery still showed full. I couldn’t wait to start my riding trip after reading the instruction manual. Although it was raining, the operation was still very safe. However, considering the scooter maintenance issues, it is not recommended to ride it in the rain. What I like the most is that it has a complete set of lights, including brake lights, headlights, and ambient lights around the pedals. It has a sense of technology and is safe for riding at night. It is very convenient and safe to go for a stroll in the surrounding park streets after dinner. I can completely rely on it to commute to and from work. It not only saves transportation costs but also relieves me from the pain of rushing during rush hours every day. Before it snowed, I rode this scooter every day at work. I really liked its long standby time and the fact that the battery can be disassembled and charged. The two batteries can be charged separately and are fully charged quickly, which is the most important reason I chose the V8! I basically ride about 5 kilometers a day on my way to and from work. A full charge is enough to last about a week, which is enough for me to go shopping for groceries and commute to get off work. They are very stable when passing some speed bumps. The tires are big enough and it is very comfortable to ride.
The customer service attitude is really great. They answer all questions and explain them in detail. In addition, the cruise mode is really easy to use, as you don’t have to hold down the throttle all the time. My bestie tried it and she is planning to buy one when the weather warms up. Recommend it!
Lincoln
The first week's experience was great! I ride V8 electric scooter to and from home and work every day, enjoying the morning sun, the breeze on my face, and the smell of freedom in the wind.
Joseph
When I first started riding my V8, the drivers that met me on the street had surprised looks on their faces, wondering who makes such a cool scooter. Now, they even ask me to recommend a purchase link.
Cooper
The V8 scooter looks good, built pretty solid, it seems like quality products. The overall APPEARANCE of the V8 is sharp, and I love having the extra battery under the deck, that's why I choose it, for more mileage.
Jason
Update 1/15/2024.
I've had it for a few months now and I'm loving it, the set up was straightforward, and the design is built well. I'd love to share wonderful experience with the riding.
All in while, I'm searching for a scooter is powerful and compact in somewhat to make the commute easy as much as possible. After reviewing a bunch of websites and top-hot brands, Turboant's concept about the scooters hit my demand. In the vast world of electric scooters, TurboAnt's V8 stands out as a beacon of innovation and quality. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell that this was more than just a scooter - it was an invitation to an entirely different way of navigating the world.
The first thing that struck me about the V8 was its sleek design. It is not just another electric scooter; it's a meticulously crafted piece of technology. The durable frame, comfortable handles, and the overall robustness of the scooter immediately gave me confidence in its performance.
As for riding the V8, it's nothing short of a dream. The scooter offers three different speed modes - beginner, eco, and sport. As a novice, I started with the beginner mode. It offered a smooth and steady ride, perfect for getting a feel of the scooter. As I became more comfortable, I switched to eco mode for daily commuting. The scooter effortlessly glides on the city streets, making my daily commute a joy instead of a chore.
The sport mode is where the V8 truly shines. It's fast, fun, and exhilarating, without compromising safety. The scooter's speed and power surprised me, but its stability and control were what truly impressed me. Whether I was zipping through park paths or tackling gentle hills, the V8 handled it all with ease. yet I always felt in control. Whether I was navigating crowded city streets or cruising on open roads, the scooter's performance was consistently impressive.
One of my favorite features is the scooter's long-range battery. I can ride for up to 40 miles without worrying about recharging, which is fantastic for long leisurely rides or busy days full of errands. The scooter's battery is also removable, making it incredibly convenient to charge. It was incredibly convenient for both short commutes and longer recreational rides. The removable battery design further added to this convenience, as I could easily take it out for charging while leaving the scooter parked.
Another significant aspect that makes the V8 standout is its portability. The scooter's folding mechanism is straightforward and efficient, making it easy to carry it up the stairs or store it in the trunk of a car.
The after-sales support team from TurboAnt is another feather in its cap. They were quick to respond and incredibly helpful with all my queries, ensuring a seamless customer experience.
In conclusion, the TurboAnt V8 has transformed the way I travel. It's not just a mode of transportation, but a fun, efficient, and eco-friendly way to explore the world around me. I can confidently say that choosing the V8 has been one of the best decisions I've made.

I bought an electric scooter online for the first time. After comparing many similar products, I found that this product is really good. This electric scooter not only has a sharp shape, but also has powerful functions, with very fast acceleration and stable riding. At the same time, the endurance is also very good, which can meet my daily commuting needs.

The build quality is fantastic, and the battery life is impressive. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and fun mode of transportation.

Hey! I'm so excited to share my thoughts on the TurborAnt V8 scooter with you. I recently got the chance to try it out and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for me! The V8 scooter is not only sleek and stylish, but it's also incredibly practical and fun to ride.
It arrived in the biggest box I ever got in the mail. And, somewhat surprisingly to me, they needed it: the scooter is pretty sizable. What I was happy about this: I come in 6'2"" 220lb as standard, so need my means of transportation to match me.
First off, the build quality of the scooter is top-notch. It feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence when I'm cruising around town or climbing some small hills. The design is sleek and modern, and I love the attention to detail in the overall aesthetics. It's portable. It's middle-weight and foldable, making it super easy to carry around or store when you're not using it. This is especially handy if you need to take public transportation or have limited space at home.
And, I've been watching people cruising on these machines for a while now. So, I figured, I might just bite the bullet and join the fold. The idea is a very attractive one: I live in San Francisco, a city with pretty bad traffic, plenty of bike lanes (yeah, don't ride these things on sidewalks, please), and a rampant bike theft problem. How does one resolve those, and have a reasonable 2-5 mile commute in the city? Right - a scooter! It's as speedy as a bike, but I can also easily fold it, take it with me into the office, put it under my desk, and not play the daily guess game of ""how many parts of my bike will be missing tonight"".
Besides, one of the standout features for me is the powerful motor, which is a 450 W Brushless Motor. The V8 scooter has a zippy acceleration and can reach some impressive speeds. It's perfect for zipping through crowded streets or getting to your destination in no time. Plus, the battery life is pretty impressive too, allowing for longer rides without worrying about running out of juice. Surprisingly, the Maximum Range is 50 miles.
Speed-wise - I'm yet to get the limit. I got to 15 mph, and I don't dare to go faster, with those relatively small wheels and the below-par pavement of SF streets. Only a couple of times I felt I could use more power, and that was climbing a pretty impressive hill. And, again, 220lb here.
Another thing I really appreciate about the V8 scooter is the Rear Suspension System, which is attached to the rear wheel. The dual springs effectively absorb shocks from road imperfections and they support top-notch Comfort on Every Trip.
Overall, I can confidently say that the V8 scooter is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a reliable and fun mode of transportation. It's well-built, powerful, and offers great portability. Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or simply enjoying a leisurely ride, this scooter has got you covered. ✨

Mason
This scooter is very fun. It’s also cool when I take this scooter to play in the park! Easy to operate, highly recommended!

The 8.5" pneumatic tires provide a smooth and comfortable ride, even on less-than-perfect city streets. I've found it to be a great balance between portability and ride quality. It handles bumps and cracks with ease, and I feel stable and safe while riding.
Christian
The e-scooter is fairly decent; it accelerates quickly, folds up to be highly efficient, and has a long-lasting battery. In my opinion, the cost of this e-scooter is justified.
Nathan
Excellent so far, performs as promised; we'll see how long the batteries last. Does extremely good thus far.
Peter
Nicely constructed and smoothly riding. I truly like having pneumatic tires because they have more traction than regular tires.
Austin
I gave up my car since I live in a city for this! Not need to pay parking fees. fantastic battery life. easy ride. It's been approximately two months, and I really enjoy it!
SarahStar89
I was thrilled when this product arrived. I had been searching for an electric scooter for a few weeks, but there were so many that I couldn't decide.
Jarvis
Absolutely love this e scooter! but overall this scooter is built tough and sturdy! I definitely recommend this e scooter for anyone who's looking for a nice commute to work or a leisure ride!

I'm looking for a convenient and fast means of transportation every day, and the V8 electric scooter is undoubtedly the ideal choice in my heart. This remarkable device has revolutionized my daily routine, providing me with an efficient, environmentally friendly mode of transportation that is both powerful and practical. I chose this scooter to solve my commuting problems, but it turned out to be far more than I expected.
First of all, I was amazed by the V8 electric scooter's dual battery design and long battery life. I'm moving around the city and have to deal with all kinds of road conditions and distances, but this scooter can handle it with ease. A single charge allows me to move freely around the city for a whole day, which greatly saves me time and effort in charging. Moreover, the dual battery configuration also gives me a greater sense of security in case of emergencies without worrying about running out of power.
Secondly, the V8 electric scooter's 450W motor provides a lot of power. It's no exaggeration to say that I no longer feel sluggish and difficult in rush hour traffic. I often have to cross busy intersections, and this scooter handles it with ease, whether it's a crowd or a narrow passage, it can get through it effortlessly. The strong motivation has made me more confident to face all kinds of road conditions, which is an experience I have never experienced before.
Furthermore, the speed level setting of the V8 electric scooter is very practical. It offers three speed levels that can be adjusted according to different road conditions and needs. On city streets, I usually choose a lower speed to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. On the open road, I would choose a higher speed and enjoy the feeling of speed. The top speed can reach 20mph, which is more than enough for everyday travel.
Finally, I would like to talk about the tires of the V8 electric scooter. Its tires are honeycomb tires, and this design greatly reduces the risk of punctures. When driving in the city, safety is always my top priority. With the design of the honeycomb tires, I don't need to worry about sudden punctures during driving, which undoubtedly increases my sense of safety when driving in the city.
Overall, the V8 electric scooter is a game-changer that has transformed my lifestyle and has given me many surprises. I was impressed with its power, long range, multiple speed level settings, and safe tire design. In my opinion, the V8 electric scooter is not only a means of transportation, but also a right-hand man for my life in the city. If you are also looking for an electric scooter that meets your needs, I highly recommend you to consider the V8 electric scooter. I'm sure you'll be like me, attracted by its superior performance and great design.

I just opened the box its a nice and strong scooter. Came fully charged awesome.cant wait to ride it

I have cycled about 500 miles and everything is fine. It's a rugged, powerful scooter that can go many miles on a single charge.
It’s well designed, I am very happy with the purchase.
It is well designed and I am very happy with the purchase. A shock absorption system is a good design, even if it is just a few large springs as a shock absorption tool. I used to ride a scooter, which in my city was impossible to ride because the streets were cobblestone, and when I came home my whole body hurt. But now I don't have that concern anymore, crossing streets and speed bumps was easy.
Lights are very powerful, 4 lights are distributed at the four corners of the pedal, so the light is very strong, and you can see clearly what is ahead. The pneumatic-tire version of the scooter I bought is comfortable to ride, equipped with a shock absorption system that makes riding on cobblestone roads no problem. Especially at night, turn on the lights, you see everything clear, and the machine is also very cool under the 5 lights!
Compared with ordinary light scooters, it’s heavier, which is attributed to its two batteries, bringing long endurance at the same time, but also increase its heavy sense or... stable sense:), riding on such a scooter, I feel safer. But if there are steps in front of your house, it might take some effort to get it in. There are two steps in my driveway front my house, to pick it up easily, I have to remove the stem battery to lose weight before I fold the scooter, then I grab the middle of the scooter stem or the pedal with my both my hands, which made it easier to lift. in my case, I "parked" it on the stairs at the entrance because there was plenty of room.
It is worth noting and appreciating that their warranty service is a real thing. My scooter broke the kickstand and the side cover of the wheel in a sudden accident, not long after I received the scooter. Though I expected that it might not be covered by the warranty, I still had hopes of getting some help from turboant so I called and emailed them, the result was unexpected with good, its customer service team was very patient and kind, I only paid for the shipping, and they sent me the accessories I needed for free. If you have a good temper, you may be as lucky as me to get these, of course, it is better not, I hope everyone is safe every day:) Apart from that accident, nothing has happened to this scooter.
Maintenance is essential, and I prefer to go out by car on rainy days. The tire has a cool pattern, and if there's a lot of mud on it, I'll clean it off in time.
If asked to give suggestions to improve the function of the scooter, I can put forward some humble proposals. One day, I was planning to go out then found the scooter won't mover with one battery no power and the other with a lot of power. I did not know that the scooter cannot be used in this case until I asked turboant. The scooter can start only when both batteries have power. I wouldn't mind buying another one if they would consider improving the design.

Used for a few days now and can confirm the scooter works well for commuting on the flat roads in my area. Battery life is decent too as long as there aren't any steep inclines.

One of the best scooters I have bought! I have been searching for a birthday gift for my son and I came across this and I immediately ordered it. Right when it got delivered, my son fell in love with it. Their customer service is amazing!

Great electric scooter, very easy to assemble. The scooter was already charged and ready to go as soon as unboxed.

Probably the best e-scooter on the market right now. I spent hours doing my research before purchasing this and I’m so glad I didn’t give in to other models or brands.
Palmer
We are satisfied with the scooter purchase. Going to Walmart, Lowes , UPS, and other places without the necessity of driving a car is amazing. It does contribute to save gas and reduce emissions.

This is my first e-scooter. I've been using this it for about 2 weeks now. I use to ride around at my local park and to commute to work. I have around 63 miles on it and here are my thoughts.
