When I was first presented with the opportunity to review the new Freely Pro electric scooter, I was a bit hesitant. I’ve ridden electric scooters in the past, and most have been disappointments: non-durable lead batteries, slow speeds and poor power. But electric scooter design and components have improved exponentially in the last couple years, and I can honestly say the Freely Pro Scooter is fantastic.
Let’s start off with power … Freely boasts a 350-watt motor that reaches a maximum speed of 15 MPH, climbs hills with ease, and gives you a 12-mile range. I was pleasantly surprised that my Freely Pro hit 25 KM/hr on a flat surface. A couple other features I like: the push-type throttle and cruise control are convenient and functional. Anti-skid 10-inch air-filled tires provide superior shock absorption. A disc braking system, E-ABS anti-lock system, and manual fender brake provide safe and secure stopping when you need it.
One of the best designs of the Freely Pro is the swappable/removable battery, which is conveniently located in the handlebar post. You can upgrade your ride with an additional battery, so you can ride for 12 miles, and pop in another battery for another 12 miles. Charge them both up at night.
The high definition LED display provides a snapshot of your speed, battery life, and gear position. You can choose between Beginner, Eco, or Sport speeds. Stay safe and be seen with the Freely Pro’s bright LED headlight and automatic tail lights.
In terms of clever design, its unique foldable body makes the Freely Pro easy to carry and store. Fold and stow in the trunk of your SUV or the flatbed of your pickup truck, and go when you reach your destination.
