This Doc Green ESA 800 E-Scooter from Lidl looked a bargain for £149 so Harry has tried it out, and is a big fan.

Plus points:
1. Goes 15mph on level ground with adult, or up hills with kids - performance is good for adults, excellent for kids.
2. Easy to ride with nice throttle and regen braking controls on handlebar
3. Battery lasts over an hour of kids riding round and round, takes 3hrs to charge
4. Standard mode 11mph limited speed, sport mode 15mph (+/- button to switch)

Negatives:
1. Only legal to use on private land currently
2. Really not suitable for kids unsupervised and without proper safety gear on

For the price, this is really good value and great fun, battery warranty is 6 months, scooter warranty is 2 years in manual (Lidl brochure I'm sure said 3 years ?)

Thanks to Arvacon, there are some extra features, cruise control and throttle from zero (you normally have to push start before throttle is active) . Details in this video: youtu.be/xw-A6duv_e8
