This review applies to the EW-36…
This review applies to the EW-36 distributed by EWheelsUSA and sold by Progress Mobility out of Florida. The scooter is marketed as being the "fastest" mobility scooter on the market and it is fast; but with fast comes the need to have braking power to match that speed. The EW-36 is potentially a great scooter; but they have routed the rear brake lines across the lowest point on the scooter and held it there with a zip tie. Well, the first flea market we took it to, the tie broke and now the brake lines are dangling to about 3" off the ground. Can you imagine moving along at 18 mph and suddenly discovering that you have no rear brakes? This defect is dangerous and a recall needs to be issued to fix this problem before someone gets hurt. It is a simple fix and merely involves routing the cable above the frame, rather than under it. ---I guess the companies don't really care, just as they have not offered to fix my non-functioning turn signals (delivered with turn signals acting as 4-way flashers rather than turn signals. Apparently wired wrong.) At this point, I can not recommend the EW-36 scooter,nor the companies importing and distributing them.
