Theres so mant people claiming there own are original or have the patent, IOhawk is the only company which have twisted peoples minds and celebrities into thinking there's is original. To be honest, all scooters come from china, china had the idea first.

1. Speed Racer - wants to prove his car is fast
2. Driver who drives at a snails pace

I've had one for a while now, pretty good, no issues, pretty scary, actually not as easy as it looks and i'm a sporty person, but my little bro has complete control in only 1-2 days of riding around, I would not feel comfortable with it going down the shopping centre just yet because I dont have complete control but my bro could easily.

Was just thinking that rsot, bound to happen if these are allowed to run riot in shopping precincts or pedestrianised areas outside the shops, ordinary bicycles seem to cause enough of that kind of havoc.

Yes i had experience with them one bough direct from china and one from UK retailer, here my story
well you can get from alibaba like 180 usd but on top will be taxes and vat (if talking about UK) + shipping which adds 130 usd more or 35 usd but quite long ....
We have 4 different models (family is big)
one we bought from china direct on ebay for £199 but it took 2 months to arrive.... and paid around £40 for vat and tax on top ..... and the thing when it comes was something wrong with it. when you step up it goes but when you step out its still working and goes it self!! (very dangerous) i talked with a seller and he said he can replace but need to send back to china ..... and he can only cover shipping cost but not duty tax and vat!! (so again pay double tax?) after long discussion we found resolution that he will give me partial refund and I keep this scooter(at least get back for vat and taxes)
of course we liked this scooter even damaged! so we decide bought more this time i google it and looked for local in UK retail online shop (thought they shipping worldwide) as previous experience with china was not that I want again. I found one company EVICED they selling same scooters (visually looks same) but with they own brand EVICED. of course price is a bit more higher for small one, we paid £279 but you get free carry bag (well for us no need it anyway thought) 12th month UK warranty and delivery up to 10 working days (thought we received one in 5 days, another order in 8 days and last one in 3 days) of course all taxes is included. Even they look similar they was a bit different, that from uk was with brand they also was different in battery time! from uk was much longer operation time than from china (thought cannot say exactly but minimum twice longer) Now what main point that they have much more different models than on ebay or amazon. they have small and big one and many model with handle bar like real segway! we have took one x-shape small XB-7 a big one suv-10 and one with a hand bar steering (i think sg-8) now this one is really fun and really possible use like personal transporter to the work and back (if distance up to 10-16 miles) and price £549 but believe me is worth to invest. Btw they repaired my first scooter from china they charge me for pick up fixing and shipping back £49.99 they said was sensor fault (factory defect)
So here my experience that better if you planning to invest to this machines this amount of money you better buy BRANDED one, of course pay more a bit but you will get for what you are paying, as in the end is not small amount and really worth have good service and warranty!
P.S. if you want buy from there i bought, you can find them by google it EVICED they probably wont be in first page but second or third as i remember. or just type they address
good luck hope for someone it makes more clear before ordering

You could just put stabilisers on a normal scooter, self balancing and a lot cheaper
