I pre-ordered and now have 1 yr. 9 mo. service from my Balto. Fantastic machine. Love mine. A GREAT value! It’s my land transportation, kept on my sailboat. I also use my 2 Dollys as “last mile” solutions carried in my SUVs. Love them, too!

Great scooter, surprisingly torquey, and very comfortable. I have to comment on the review from Min because he claims a lower range then expected. Make sure your tires are filled to max pressure because this will make the biggest difference in range besides weight and terrain. If you ride on sidewalks and are constantly stopping then this will drain the battery faster as well since it uses more power every time you stop as opposed to riding in bike lanes and paved bike trails. This scooter has the potential to go over 20 miles on flat ground without any stops so it all depends on your weight, tire pressure and riding style.

I’ve used the Balto since early 2021, in a city environment. The scooter is ideal for taking your (small) child to school, thanks to its wide step and the luggage rack. The range is fine for my purposes.
The sole problem that was not my own fault has been dealt with quickly and professionally by the technical staff at glion. This is a gradual fading of the brake. Glion sent me a replacement brake assembly, under warranty, which solved the problem. This excellent support gives me a lot of confidence in the scooter’s quality: I hope to enjoy it for many years to come.

The goods: Lori, has been great at answering all my questions from the moment I took interest in Balto to the moment I received the delivery.
-Balto has lot of good features and well thought out safety features like the front light, back light and deck lights that have turn signals.
-Dolly, nice loud horn, bright front lights with wide beam and long beam in one headlight, basket, rack that is dual feature, rear view mirror, 12″ pneumatic air tires absorb really well and it feels good on the road, seat is included, looks unique compare to other scooters because it is hybrid moped. Battery in cased well so it looks like it is rain proofed. Scooter feels sturdy.
The bads: Ordered Balto on a pre-order. Received couple of months later due to delivery 2 issues, on the part of oversea delivery to Balto company.
-Motor has very whining sound, that gets more amplified once it touches the ground as you ride.
-The range did not get me the stated distance. I ride with no seat, no rack or the basket and nothing added on. I am a 185- 190lbs person and carry no bag or any type of additional weight besides my 10oz helmet. I also ride in slow mode of 12mph, which is good enough for me as I ride for casual/fun not a power hungry speed demon. I get roughly 13-14 miles of distance. Good thing I bought the second battery. Looks like I’ll be using backpack to carry the 2nd battery.
-The deck is made of honeycomb plastic, I was surprised. I assume this has to do with limiting weight. I did not feel unsafe but time will tell the longevity of this plastic deck.
Recommendation to Glion:
-For X2…3 to 5 miles longer battery range
-Lessen the whining motor noise decibel
-Maybe another 5mph for people who enjoy little more speed
3 addition would make X1 version 2 or X2 a perfect moped/scooter hybrid

Balto X1 has good potential.
