What's the mileage range & speed? Can the batteries be stacked, so you can carry an extra one?

I've never really calculated the mileage I get on a battery charge - the manufacturer says 8-10 miles I think. I know for normal daily usage, I have never had a problem, even going to multiple locations in the same day/same charge. Speed, I think top speed is about 4.5 MPH - if I go fast my kids have to jog to keep up. There is no dedicated place to set an extra battery (and it has a handle on top so cannot be stacked) but if you don't need the entire footbed, you might be able to set an extra one there if you came up with a way to secure it.

this scooter is fantastic. i went to a convention and used it three days and the meter was just down a little. i am able to use it in my home, shopping speed varies from slow to very quick. you only have room for 1 battery the best thing about this scooter is that it folds and can go into a small cars trunk good luck and happy

On the original battery I can fly around 15 min unloaded, with upgraded battery it goes nearly 20 minutes. I have taken it out 300 yards. It is difficult to see at that range.

Much less than advertised out of the box. They are useful to us for about one mile. I believe that you may be able to turn up their power, but that might require an FCC License. We haven't checked into it as we use them in a five acre warehouse/yard, and don't need the additional range.

Yes - you can purchase an extra battery online, but the battery has a pretty good lasting charge. It runs well on small hills and grass, but runs best on a sidewalk/driveway surface.

I asked my son, who's actually the person we bought the car for. He knows much more about this than I do. He says: "sure you can use the hexfly 2s 5000 Mah 7.4 V battery but I would not suggest a 3 cell! You could damage your esc or your motor with a large battery."OK?

Yes, of course it extend the range. You will find that the comfort of having your battery lose its charge in the middle of your ride is as equatable & exasperating as driving your car, running out of gas and getting out to push it to the nearest gas station. The 9AH Lion battery is an absolute joke. You will get NO MORE than 15-20 miles MAYBE, between charges. Thats WITH peddling. Why Prodeco sells it as a start up on their E-bike is Glaringly apparent to me Now. Thats because they KNOW that. The upgrade to 17AH is 700$. Get your upgrade with your First bike. Save @ 3-4 hundred $ that way . The 9AH is CRAP. Yes, of course it extend the range.

In my opinion, no. The body frame is not large enough to hold two batteries. You may be able to customize, but a different body type will be necessary.

Battery life is about as good as the kind of batteries you use (Duracell, Energizer, etc.). They use three (3) double-A batteries, each, so you'll need a total of six (6). Buy and use good batteries, and you should have great life as these units don't consume much power when in use. They DO NOT work 16 miles, as advertised...more like a few blocks, and that's it.

Yes you can buy extra battery, it has way more power than what we expected our 2 yr old love it. Grass sidewalks dirt... As far as hills??? I'm don't know it not for a dirt track or anything the wheels are hard plastic I think you would have to do modifications to them? Hope this helps

The batteries average life is 1 to 2 years. Usually after 6 months of use, it will start to give you less mileage per charge.

I put a Gopro on mine so it added a little bit more weight. Its also above 105 degrees in Phoenix when I fly and I still get over 10 mins. I have an alarm that goes off when my batts hit 3.7 volts. I would highly recommend buying one. They are inexpensive. I usually get worried about battery life and land it way before pushing it to limit. I don't want it to have it auto land in a far off location and not be able to retrieve. I have a couple of spare batteries so its no big deal to swap them out. A flight lasts long enough so don't worry about it. 10 mins is a longer than you think. Just have some spares and enjoy. It nice to land and take a break anyway. You will love your FC40.

I took it on a Colorado motorcycle trip so not sure? It is probably better for walking, riding, hiking. Very small screen for a car. It sucked up batteries and was hard to use.

Am not sure about the speed though.. but the batteries can last more than enough for the night (8hrs sleep) per camping trip. Placed it approximately 60cm away from me in the tent during sleep & comfy enough.. Hope this helps. Cheers.

The battery is built in. This is not an ideal unit for backpacking trips, but more for running and cycling. For the same price, you can get a very nice Garmin GPS receiver that is intended for hiking in the backcountry.

Sorry all we know is it got my husband about 5 miles at 15 to 17 mph depending on wind. He would recharge the battery to come home. Batteries last about 6 months. Hope this helps.

No this battery is not enough to get that mileage plus you need to change the gear to reach that speed need a bigger battery with a diffrent gear than the original good luck

I use it as a backup radio to my regular comm gear at a local roadracing track... no problem working well over a mile in bad conditions. Best to have a business license though, as these are either Amateur (requiring license) or Commercial ( requiring a license) depending on which frequencies you choose to use.
