The Phantom GoGo A8-Electric Scooter from Costco - my review 👍🏻👍🏻😎

  • This scooter was on sale for $349, I want to see if it is worth the money. After taking it on an extended nighttime run I decided I REALLY like it! Once you get up to the 15 mph speed it beeps to let you know cruise control is on so you can let off the throttle! The headlights have great coverage and the taillights flash when you brake for excellent visibility. The battery seems to be good too, I ran it around my 7 mile loop and only used two bars on the battery!
    You can watch and decide for yourself but I’m keeping mine! #costcoscooter #phantom #escooter #a8 #costco

    This scooter is exactly the same as he LEQISMART A8 scooter. I'm not sure if they rebrand them for Costco or what. We got a couple from Amazon a month ago. Somehow we got a great deal, even cheaper than Costco's sale price.

    • @ruthtrips7391

      I noticed that when I was researching this one. They are the same. I’ve read rebranding is common with e-bikes, I guess e-scooters too.

    • @isfngu4213

      To unlocked the M and H mode also turning on your led make sure you download and use the app. All your setting is in there. Otherwise it will be default to slowest setting.

      @ruthtrips7391  8 місяців тому +2

      Hi, yes I took this on a 7 mile loop on a 30 degree cold night and it was fine. Still had 3 bars left on the battery.
      They say 32-100 degrees is acceptable but it’s not great for your lithium battery life to go to extreme temps.
      50-80 degrees preferred.
      I’ll ride mine any time when the roads dry in any temperatures and take my chances with the battery because I’m sassy like that 😊 It’s not that high dollar of a scooter to baby it too much.
      Thanks for the question 👍🏻

    • @ruthtrips7391
      @ruthtrips7391  9 місяців тому

      You scan that barcode on the handlebars and download the app. Turn on your Bluetooth and let it connect. Then it walks you right through a few steps like naming your scooter and choosing if you want the push off to start or the auto start. It was easy. And I’m not technically inclined to…
