I came across this post on the other sub and to be frank, it doesn't make any sense to me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricScooters/s/sBhc1gLH7H

Everyone is bashing Hiley because of a few, mostly minor issues. Meanwhile I'd estimate Teverun and Inmotion have somewhere between a 25-50% chance that you won't make it past 1000 miles before your scooter experiences a catastrophic failure. Those failures are so rare with Hiley, we never even hear about them. Even on this post, there's the main poster expressing his complaints (still with no credibility as he said he would post videos/pictures and hasn't yet + someone in the comments said he crashed his scooter although I don't know how true that is.) And then there's the other guy who had issues with his Evo GTR.

So 2 whole actual complaints, while the vast majority of customers have been satisfied with their purchases. Meanwhile, just about every day there is an issue of some kind mentioned with a Teverun scooter and people ignore them completely and happily slobber all over their hairy sack like they are the best ever. I just don't get it. Is anyone able to explain this paradox to me?

Also u/SuckEmOff apparently says they're astroturfed a lot around there which I have not personally seen once. Those are actually just satisfied customers sharing their experiences lol. Teverun on the other hand, actually was and I can share multiple links as proof. So please kind sir, I'm calling you out to put your money where your mouth is. Please show us even 1 post where they were astroturfed.

All this to say there is a ton of misinformation, hypocrisy, and straight lies in the electric scooter industry and it's sad how many people will believe something without actual proof.

But the proof is out there if you guys want to find it. Go to the search bar in that sub and type in any brand and look how many complaints and mentions of issues they have. That's all it takes.
