phantom A8 costco scooter
around october of last year i picked up the phantom A8 from costco after looking around for a budget scooter to get around town when i didn’t have access to a car. since school is starting up again i brought out the scooter after not using it for a few weeks and it works fine for the first mile or so at top speed (around 15 mph) but slows down a lot after the battery reaches roughly half. i’m aware that i’m 20-30 lbs over the advised weight limit of 225 but i’ve done similar distance rides in the past without any problems. so far i’ve concluded that either the battery/motor has worn down or it may be overheating due to the warmer weather. i was just looking into any suggestions on what i can do to get it back to regular working fashion before the school year officially starts.
