fluid - Mosquito

I'll share my needs for multiple: my commute to work is part scoot part shuttle bus. I scoot to the bus stop. As such, the needs for one scooter are "small and lightweight, yet able to go up moderate hills". For this I have the Mosquito. It is top tier for this use case, and nothing else comes close. 29lb and 29mph it's in a class of it's own. However, whenever I need to do something other than commuting to the shuttle stop, the Mosquito fails me. It has only 6 miles range so if I need to go to the doctor downtown (4 miles each way) I need to charge it in the waiting room. It's also an awful ride and is slippery as heck in the wet. So for this I have my Gallop. It's fast, powerful and smooth. But it's hella heavy, triple the weight of the mosquito and nearly a foot longer. Not appropriate for shuttle bus. I was thinking of getting a third, the InMotion climber, for wet days. It's slower, bigger, and heavier than the Mosquito, but it does well in the wet. At 45lb it's half the weight of my Gallop. I haven't pulled the trigger on this yet though.

I've had 5 from different brands. Hiboys are good, but some models are solid tires, and it's really bumpy and dangerous in the rain or snow. Gotrax models have air tires to my knowledge and top out at about 22mph, fold well and have good customer service. My current Fluid Mosquito, has solid tires, is lightweight, but fast, 3 braking systems and folds well, but pricey. My co-worker has the Fluid Horizon, and for the price and features, I'd go with that one IMO. It has a front air and rear solid tire. Battery life is sufficient for your travel needs. This is late night, off-the-top-of-my head info, whatever you decide, fact check my above info.

I know Fluid Freeride has gone downhill as a company and is generally hated in this community these days, but I still ride my [Fluid Mosquito](https://fluidfreeride.com/products/fluid-mosquito) every week and love it. 29lbs, 25mph top speed and a range of about 20 miles. It’s about 3 years old now and still going strong. I just did 18 miles on it the other day, and being able to fold it up and carry it one-handed onto the train and up & down staircases was awesome. I love an ultra-portable e-scooter.
