This is a beautiful sturdy scooter. And unfortunately for us, we did not have good luck with it. The right brake handle broke, but Keith was kind and sent us a replacement. We also had problems with the chain, it keeps falling off. Since we are not mechanically inclined we found that the scooter was mostly in a storage position instead of out riding on the streets. We are currently looking for a buyer that is mechanically inclined and can take care of the scooter.
My husband was using the scooter to get from home to the commuter train and back. It was about a 3 mile trip each way.
Keith G. (verified owner) –
Jo,
No. This machine will not make a 12-mile commute- Because of its lead-acid battery, the battery range is between 6-10. But understand, even with a 10-mile range, that does not mean the machine will be full speed at the end of its life. Lithium batteries on the other hand can handle that with no issue. not lead-acid.

Hello!!
This seems to be a great product although I have one question.
How fast will the scooter go if the rider is 150 pounds?
Keith G. (verified owner) –
all estimated speeds and specs are listed for a 150 pound rider on the site for every model

Before buying it I just have a question, could somebody tell me if this scooter can be folded. Thank you
Thomas Andahazy Sr. (verified owner) –
Yes. This scooter and all other models we sell can be folded quickly and easily.

Yes. All of our scooter models can be folded.

I bought this scooter because I live in Park Slope aka Park? Nope! Due to the heavy competition for a parking space, and city parking rules, the only parking spaces available are an average of 20 blocks away from my apartment . So I use the scooter to get to my vehicle. I am very impressed by the high quality of this unit. I could not fathom the power and zipiness it delivers . I highly recommend this company because of their outstanding customer service and speedy delivery of the merchandise . I give it 5 stars .

This is a fantastic machine! Worth every penny! Customer service is great too. I’m the kind of person that likes to talk and has a lot of questions, and responses were always quick and helpful.
The pros:
-FAST! 25-30 mph might not seem very fast in the average car, but that attitude changes pretty quick when you’re on one of these.
-Easy to ride (kinda). It’s took me all of five minutes to “get used” to riding this. I started nearly falling every ten feet but quickly adjusted to being able casually glide from the sidewalk to the bike lane and back (stupid people walking on the sidewalk. get out of the way!)
-Simple. Took me about an hour to put it together. And that was mostly because I kept dropping screws. Once it’s all assembled, there’s two brakes and “go” switch.
The cons:
-HEAVY. Not that there wasn’t a warning on this, but 70 pounds is kinda heavy. While pulling it out of the box I managed to drop it on my foot. That hurt. A lot. It’s to be expected that something like this would weigh so much, but however justifiable it is, I do consider it a “con”.
Battery life. Considering the speed and the compact-ness, the battery life if pretty impressive. However, if you’re an idiot like me and on the test drive you don’t bring the charger with you, that is a loooooong walk home. Something to consider for longer trips.
Overall all, I love this thing. Best purchase I ever made. I rate it a cool out of yes.

AMAZING. If you are buying this for someone of around 12 years old that is used to speed, then this is for you. I am 12, and my mother bought this for me for Christmas. I cannot tell how fun it is to zip around the neighborhood. Only issue I had was the box. It had a few holes punched in the sides of it and it looked like it was thrown down a hill. But the packaging inside was very nice, and kept everything in mint condition. Highly recommended! 🙂
Christina Bailey –
I can’t say enough about how fantastic the customer service is with this company is, how well made the scooter is and how happy my son is with his Christmas present! Perfect 10! When we took the scooter out of the box, it was so sturdy and well made, we could tell right away that this was better than all the other scooters we had purchased at the big box stores. Assembly was a breeze, and with a simple turn of a key (which my son LOVES, HE HAS KEYS!) my kiddo was off and going on his great Christmas Day adventure! These aren’t little toy scooters either. My son is 12 years old, 5’5″ and 150lbs. This scooter is a heavy machine that weighs at least 100lbs. The tires are heavy duty, frame is strong and sturdy. Fabulous product! LOVE IT!

I love my 1000 scooter . I get stopped and asked about it all the time and I\’m pretty sure I saw another one in my town last week . I originally bought it for speeding up my commute during the summer when I couldn\’t park within 3 blocks of work or my house , ( the down side of living at the beach ) , but now I work much closer to home and use it to get everywhere . I haven\’t put gas in my Jeep since September . The hill climber gear works like a charm too . Thanks for the great service and correspondence .

Maybe Lunar Scooters even design a Solar powered/rechargeable one?

The Lunar Scooter 1000 is AWESOME! It is very convenient to use when I need to get somewhere quickly without using my car which saves a lot of gas money and saves me time looking for a parking space. Excellent to take to the park when going to exercise. I recommend wearing a helmut. This device is extremely fun to use and the battery lasts extremely long. I think it might go even more then 15 miles. I cannot wait to see what Lunar Scooters comes up with next… hopefully a much lighter model of the 1000.
Darren B. –
As a previous owner of an electric scooter, I know whats out there as is. They’re ugly and they really only get the job done. Currie Tech, Razor…mass market trash. Enter the Lunar Scooter 1000 into the picture and suddenly what electric scooters can do is redefined.
Ill summarize the LS1000 with one easy statement: Lunar Scooter is the Tesla Model S of the scooter world. I can think of no more apt description for this. Its a product category that already existed, had numerous existing products that all worked but really lacked the refinement to make someone say “I want this” instead of just “I could use this”. I dont know what they are doing to their batteries to get this type of performance, but I can tell you this, you will want to wear a helmet if you take this up to full speed.
Quick Summary of pro’s and con’s
PRO’s
1. Fast. Really fast. Still somehow fast even after half battery life is drained.
2. Fast pick-up from full stop. Be ready for it. Versus competitors sluggish granny acceleration.
3. Strong performance actually makes it safer for side-of-the-road use. The ability to break is important and they work like a dream, but sometimes your best move is to be able to accelerate to move out of the way of something. This thing can DO it.
4. Design: No scooter ever had good design like this. Minimalism where appropriate and an overall image that makes this 31 year old no longer feel like a dork riding this to and from work. For the dudes out there, this is a dudes machine.
5. The key start mechanism. Not just good for general theft deterrence but Ive thought this out being that I live in NYC. I power it off at lights so if someone attempts to..eh hem…scooter jack me, Ill have time to grab the key and toss it. Decent lock and chain and no one can steal this on a crime of opportunity basis. Too heavy.
CON’s
1. The rear splash guard feels non-existent to me. I can tell you there is NO splash guard. Took it too work in light drizzle (but wet streets) and I was SOAKED from my butt to my ankles. And covered in Street soot. I dont blame LS for this, because as a biker I am familiar with this. Ive emailed them to see if they have an accessory for this because otherwise it will definitely need something homebrew for this.
2. Tire inflating design. Ive emailed them about this as i cant find any way to do this even with the included adapter. Somethings got to be done to make this easier. Or maybe I am just doing it wrong. Id pay a little extra more for a solid metal adapter instead of the plastic.
All in All, I think it is next to impossible to find a scooter anywhere that is better than this. 799$ may be a bit much for it and was happier to have paid 560, but in all honesty, it may be more expensive but theres nothing that can compare to it.
I have no idea what they must have done with the 1200… the LS1000 is insane, so cant even imagine the performance out of the 1200.
thanks LS

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the exceptional customer service and product!!!! What a treat to actually order a product and get the owner calling you to say thank you and give you shipping information. Then call back to make sure I received. I ordered the Lunar scooter for my son and we could not be happier with it!!!!! He absolutely loves it!! It is extremely fast even uphill!!! Very pleased with this product!!!! Thank you!!!!
Jim H. –
Our whole family enjoys the Lunar Scooter. Very smooth and quiet ride, much better than the other brands we have had in the past. Great for adults and kids to – depending on the age of course. Keith, the owner, was great to work with and goes the extra mile!
Stephen Chen –
Fantastic purchase! It is really convenient to use and get around town. The scooter came in especially useful this weekend when my girlfriend’s family lost their dog. The Lunar Scooter was an excellent tool to quickly post up flyers around a 2 mile radius. Undoubtedly her family can attribute the swift recover of their family dog, in part, to Lunar Scooters and the excellent transportation option they have provided me.
Would recommend to all my friends!!!

I have yet to ride my scooter and not have someone stop me to ask where I got it… The laser projection tail light is an attention grabber, especially at night (see my pic). It’s perfect for short trips around the city and can easily be taken up the elevator to park in my apartment.
I ride it pretty hard and ended up blowing the fuse early on. I put a new fuse in and when it blew a second time, Lunar replaced the entire fuse wiring assembly. I was expecting a hassle, but was pleasantly surprised at their excellent customer service. I’m enjoying it nearly everyday with the weather lately and it’s a blast to zip around on… would recommend highly for inexpensive campus wheels, beach bum transport, and cruising the city bike lanes!

SORRY FOR THE LATE REVIEW MY SON WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND SICK FOR A WHILE. I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR A SCOOTER FOR MY GROWING SON AND HAVE FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT CAN HOLD HIM, ME, AND MOST ANY ONE. THE GUYS AT WORK HAD A BLAST PUTTING THIS TO GETHER AND “TESTING” IT LOL. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE 5′ AND 6′ SECURITY GUARDS AND MAINTENCE GUYS RIDING AROUND A CASINO. IT WAS A GREAT SITE THEY LOVED THE SPEED AND SIZE. I AM GLAD WE SHOPPED AROUND. MOST OTHERS WERE UP TO 110 LBS AND MY SON WAS RIGHT THERE THIS ONE IS 300 LBS SO HE MAY GROW INTO IT. WHEN HE IS HOME IT IS HARD TO KEEP HIM OFF OF IT. OUR PLAN IS TO PURCHASE AT LEAST 1 MORE. BUY THIS YOU WILL LOVE IT WE JUST KEEP THE SEAT ON ALL WAYS. ENJOY AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE FAST DELIVERY AND GREAT PRODUCT. MONICA

For bigger people who hit the scales at close to the 200lb range I highly suggest to purchase the hill climbing kit $30 upgrade and a quick install. It helps with getting up the hills and adds more power for us bigger people out there.
Nick S –
The quality of the scooter is awesome! Very heavy duty, and way faster than I thought it would be. The customer service was excellent, friendly, and all around very helpful. Definitely the best electric scooter I’ve ever ridden!

I’m glad i purchase this awesome scooter! all my friends love it. An its nice not to have to break a sweat before for work. Its hard not to get on my bike now! that i have this loi. The customer service is helpful, They r great!! I hope u enjoy it as much as i do!!
Kyle P. –
I can’t believe how powerful this scooter is. It’s absolutely amazing. I weigh 210lbs and it can take me up the steepest hill in the area without so much as a groan. I mean… it’s not talking me up the hill at 30mph but I’m amazed it can even make it up the hill on its own; let alone with me on it.
vailskidude –
Great Purchase!!! Easy to put together out of the box and customer service is Excellent!! Would for sure recommend getting one for yourself!!!
Daniel D. –
Excellent machine! I get all the range and performance I could possibly need for traveling to and from work on one charge. Customer service and support is solid and helpful. Cons: not enough speed for me! I want to go 60mph!
Christie –
I’m a graduate student in Philadelphia and I use my scooter to get to school every day.
Pros: I love it because I can ride it on the bike lane so I feel safe. I also like the speed and honestly get such a kick out of passing all the peddling bikers. Plus, it’s easy to lock up in the bike racks.
Cons: It took me a few rides to get comfortable with the throttle, which is sensitive but now I feel very comfortable with it. As a petite girl, I wish it was a bit lighter.
