Customer Reviews

Lots to say about this great scooter but will make it brief. I am a huge electric scooter enthusiast - 14 months ago I bought four of the Ezip 750s (my review is also here on Amazon), and generally like them very much. Then I read the reviews of the Super 800, learned about what goes into them, and decided I really wanted this "Porsche" of scooters. Unfortunately I live in the USA seasonally, and last winter they were completely sold out. When I got back to the states this January, I was very bummed to learn they were again sold out and would not have them in until April.
I waited and was patient, and am glad I did! First of all - need to mention that I purchased one of the Turbo 800s, and one of the limited edition Turbo 1000s. All I can say is wow! After the ezip 750, these things go like rockets. Very sturdily built, very high quality. Like everyone says here, Chris and his company were super helpful and polite. The 1000 is so sensitive to just a slight input of throttle, it jumps forward! And this, with an over 180lb. rider. Goes great over uneven surfaces, disc brakes work good, and speed is great. Just got them so have not had huge time to test battery life or comparison of 800 vs. 1000 (1000 uses a very expensive lithium battery, 48v, and a 1000 watt motor). But in general, all I can say is 'wow!', these are really great scooters.
Only downsides versus the ezip - ezip is lighter, smaller, and more portable (and less expensive). It also is quite well built - my three have held up well over 14 months of pretty heavy use. I am sure the SuperScooters will do just as well if not better. FedEx beat the crap out of one of the boxes, which is unusual for them. But they are so well-packed inside, there was no damage to any part of the scooter.
HIGHLY recommended - get one before they (AGAIN) go out of stock!
FOLLOW-UP: After several days of using both scooters---
I wanted to post a follow-up because I think it's important for potential buyers. Also, I have a unique perspective as a long-term owner of the ezip 750s, and now the Super Turbo 800 and 1000. There's some more info and observations that I think would be helpful to a potential buyer.
Super Turbo 1000 Lithium (not sold on Amazon): Wow! All I can say. Very responsive, fast, leaps forward with just a little throttle. VERY expensive but if you are really into electric scooters as I am, worth it. Two pluses for this scooter that are NOT mentioned in the advertisements: First, it's lighter. The SuperScooters are HEAVY compared to the ezip (more on that in a minute), but the 1000 lithium battery weighs approx. 15lbs. less than the 3-battery deep cell unit of the 800. That makes a 15lb. lighter scooter, and it's a noticeable difference. Second, although the battery in this one is much more expensive, it lasts 3x as long as the lead-acid pack, meaning that over the life of this battery you'll save approx. $250 over what it would have cost to buy two more new lead-acid batter packs (300 cycles, vs. approx. 1000 cycles for the Lithium).
Super Turbo 800: Pros - very solidly built, good quality, rides good over uneven surfaces. Cons: VERY heavy compared to the ezip 750. This may not be an issue for you, but if you will ever be loading the scooter into a car, or carrying it up a couple flights of stairs as I do at my place in Europe, it's a big issue. I'm not a weakling, but lifting this thing into the hatchback of a Mazda Protege 5 (not a very tall bumper to clear) takes a LOT of effort due to the 85lb. heft. The much lighter weight of the ezip 750s make them MUCH easier to transport, move around, carry up stairs, etc. Also, as a former motocross racer of bicycles and motorcycles, I know that weight is the enemy of performance, and that is no different here. The Super Turbo scooters feel like they were built in the following order of priorities: 1). Strength, 2). To meet a price point, and 3). Weight, as the very last concern. Next con: acceleration and battery life. The Super 800 is geared very, very tall, probably in order to make a high advertised top speed of 23mph. However, that gearing does two things - slows acceleration greatly, and puts the motor under more load which uses up the battery quicker. Compared to the ezip, the Super Turbo 800 is geared very tall and therefore, even though it's more powerful, feels less responsive to throttle inputs at lower speed. Yes, it will eventually reach a higher top speed than the ezip, but it feels like you are always in overdrive 6th gear. Super Cycles and scooters sells a hill climbing kit for this scooter that would probably make it much more responsive to throttle inputs, and is probably the 'correct' gear ratio for this scooter for most riders and riding conditions, although it will result in a 'less exciting' top speed. But in my opinion, unless you weigh 90lbs., the very tall gear ratio is not optimum for this scooter, and combined with the heft, make it a bit sluggish.
I'm fortunate to own 2 sports cars that I both love, for different reasons: a Nissan 350z roadster, and a Ferrari 360 Modena. There is a PERFECT analogy between those two cars and the two scooters from Super Cycles. The 800 is the 350z - sporty, and adequate for most people. But a true purebred sports car it's not - it is underpowered and quite a bit too heavy to be a real performance car. The 1000 Lithium is the Ferrari - lighting-quick responses to the throttle, always wants to go faster, and will test your ability and bravery as a driver due to its very high performance. Both are great cars, but if you had both of these in your garage, which would you take out for a Sunday drive?
Quick comparison with the ezip 750: I've already mentioned the weight and gear ratio issue. The ezip has a much lower top speed than both of the Super Scooters bikes. However, if the Super Turbo 800 was geared what I feel to be 'properly' for its power and weight, the top speed difference would pretty much disappear. Both units are made to a surprisingly high level of quality (considering mfg. plants for both are in China). The ezip is the more 'polished' and 'finished' looking item; it's obvious it was designed and built with the budget of a much larger company behind it. The Super 800 and 1000 have a bit of a 'kit-car' look to them, like maybe something you built in your backyard. They're not ugly, but not so sleek as the ezip, either. Thankfully, the quality and strength of the Super 800 and 1000 are there in spades (as is the weight).
If anyone claims the Super 800/1000 'blows away' the ezip, I'd have to disagree with them. The Super Turbos, even with the flaws mentioned, are still great scooters at a fair price. But even the Super 800 now sells for 50% more than what I paid for my ezips last year. The ezip is still fun, still quick, and is much lighter and easier to cart around. Is the Super Turbo 800 worth 50% more? Only you can decide. In my opinion, each of the three different scooters is fairly priced for its given performance level.
I can't end this review without mentioning one more thing, about the availability (or lack thereof) of these scooters over the year. I know that Super Cycles is a small company, and that the owners are very friendly and bend over backwards to help their customers, and have received rave reviews for this. But as a business owner, I know, and they must know, that if you do not have your products in stock for months on end, you are going to lose customers. It's obvious - they are a small company - they place an order from the manufacturer for how many they can finance or expect to sell over a few months, sell those, then place another order. But this has resulted in the scooters not being in stock for months at a time - when I tried to order in January 2010, they were out of stock, and for over two months. Again this year - tried to order, out of stock, had to wait 3 months to get product. They may have great customer service, but this is no way to run a business and they urgently need to find outside financing or a bigger credit line, to enable them to order enough units to meet the demand and not lose customers. I very nearly bought the competing scooters sold on ebay (the ones mentioned on their site as being of inferior quality) due to my frustration of having to wait - again - to get these scooters. While it's obvious that Super Scooter's bikes are of better quality than that competitor, reading the reviews of this 'copycat' shows that most customers of his are, in fact, very satisfied with their scooters- even if they are made more cheaply. And, they sell for quite a bit less than the Super Turbo 800.
I'm not trying to be harsh on the company or the scooters - just making observations that may help potential buyers. I would have loved to have all this info when I was first researching these scooters. The Super Turbo 800 and the 1000 Lithium are both GREAT products that I hope to enjoy for many years to come. Hopefully this review provides more insight to future buyers.

We bought this for my 11 year old for his birthday and our whole family loves it. It is solid construction, nothing flimsy or cheap about this scooter. I actually feel safer on it than a smaller low powered one because of the substantial size of the wheels. We plan on taking this camping with us to scoot around the campground...and because it is electric is will be quiet. I have to say that Super Cycles and scooters are great to deal with...you can talk to someone that KNOWS the product inside and out and who knows the meaning of customer service. I received the scooter in 2 days! I highly recommend this scooter and this supplier!
