#Review Problems I encountered on my MotoTec Velocifero 1600W Electric Scooter after 6 months.
This will likely be the last video to focus on the 1600 watt Velocifero by MotoTec because we've purchased 2 Rad Power Electric bikes to review and we are looking for another brand of electric bike for to also review/compare.
I can say that the overall construction of the Rad Power Bikes is far superior to that of the Mototech Velocifero scooter.
The price difference between the Rad and MotoTech offering is small with the Rad bike being a much better overall value in my honest opinion. I'll post a review of the Rad Power Bikes in another video.

The Mototech scooter had a number of quality issues with the batteries and charger being my and most costly repair. The original batteries plastic cases melted and all 4 of them fused together because there was no safety built into the charger to prevent overcharging.
So the batteries failed after a few weeks.
I do enjoy riding the scooter but it has required constant maintenance and repair.
It has a 1600 watt motor and 48v battery setup but I was only able to get it to 18 mph max. I was able to get the Rad Power Bike to 22 mph with my son and I both on it and it uses a 750 watt motor which is also a 48v setup but uses lithium batteries.
I've calculated a range of approximately 20 to 25 miles for the Velocifero scooter, but remember this is with new and better replacement batteries.
