Great scooter! Second Glion and this one has great power, very long battery, fantastic commute scooter! I love, love, love my "Aluminum Falcon." It is incredibly well lighted compared to other scooters, so it's highly visable. And as far as speed, I've only encountered one scooter that can outpace it on my daily commutes in SF. So it's top of the line in getting you there quickly AND safely. Some key notes tho. It is VERY heavy compared to the Dolly. You can still carry it, but you can not sling it around like the original Dolly. It can be very tippy when you pull it with the carrying handle, so you have to be mindful. And there are some really sharp edges in the underside of the handlebars, so when you are expanding or collapsing it, you need to avoid putting your hand anywhere near there or you WILL end up cutting yourself. A few quirks, but overall I'm INCREDIBLY happy with my SECOND Glion purchase.

This is my first experience with this brand. This was promoted as a commute scooter, but I use it for everyday pleasure. I can't comment on the long commute to or from work. I can only share my opinion with my local use at parks. For starters, this scooter is amazing, and it has many features. A powerful 400-watt rear hub motor that can propel you up to 18 miles per hour. The motor is quiet and reliable and can handle hills and rough terrain with ease. A long-lasting 36V 12.8 ah lithium-ion battery that can provide up to 25 miles of range on a single charge. The battery is removable and can be charged in 3.5 hours using the included charger. You can also monitor the battery level and speed on the LCD display on the handlebar. A durable and lightweight aluminum frame that can support up to 300 lbs of weight. A dual headlamp system that can illuminate your way in the dark. The scooter has two bright LED lights on the front and a red brake light on the back, making you visible and alerting others of your presence. The scooter also has a horn button that can produce a loud sound to warn pedestrians and vehicles. A front and rear mechanical brake system that can stop the scooter quickly and smoothly. The scooter has a hand brake lever on the right and a foot brake pedal on the left, giving you more control and options to brake. Although, I loved everything about the scooter for my basic needs. The scooter is so heavy that rolling it around would be impossible if I had to use this for my commute to work and back. I tried to roll it up and down the block, and it almost always tips over with every roll and bump. It's so heavy that I can't control where it rolls next. I do appreciate how compact it is and can be easily stored in the closet or corner and takes up less space because of the folding features. There's pros and cons to everything, and so far, the pros are winning.

Pros: Came almost fully assembled, Speedy, Long battery life, Called support with a question, they were GREAT, Solid, and I mean solid, Very well packaged for shipping. Cons: It's a bit heavy I would buy this again in a minute, I am very happy with this. It's a bit heavy

This electric scooter is really cool! It works great and is powerful. It's fast too. The setup was easy enough and simple. Using this scooter is a breeze. It performs really nicely and loving it so far!

Easy to set up, works great, charge is good

Awesome secret sauce!! We have had the older Glion scooters for years. And just upgraded to three new Glion XL’s!! LOVE THEM!!

Great scooter and fun to drive. I like the hill climbing ability. I live two miles from the grocery store and do 90% of my grocery shopping on a Glion. I can even roll it inside the library when I study. I use this for longer trips (4 miles out and back) and my Glion 225 for shorter trips.

I have logged thousands of miles on Glion Dolly scooters since their original Kickstarter in 2014 and the Dolly XL is their best yet! It is more of everything in comfort, stability, and safety. I love the wider deck, bigger pneumatic tires, double headlights, hand brakes, and taillight. But it still is just as easy to fold for storage during the workday, not to mention that it's a blast to ride!

The Gilon DollyXL is amazing. I have other electric scooters and this one is superior in every way. Let's talk about its most important feature "DOLLY" meaning it can be easily lugged around because when you stand it upright it has wheels on the side to easily pull around like a travel suitcase, it also has a handle that retracts to make lugging easy. If you've ever had a scooter, it's HEAVY, this is a revolutionary feature if you are a true e-scooter commuter. The wheel is larger so it has PSI in it (some people don't like that because of occasionally having to handle deflated tires down the road). But the bigger wheel is just fundamentally a better ride. It goes over cracks better and uneven platforms better and handles wet surfaces well. The motor makes a slight noise to make sure people around you can hear you are coming. But not too loud where it's obnoxious. It has three modes, eco mode is below 5 miles which is great in areas where there are a lot of pedestrians, medium picks up really fast, and the fastest speed is up to 18 mph. It has a range of 28 miles. It's well-built and strong. The kickstand is quality, and the LCD monitor is gorgeous. There are two brakes (left for the back wheel, and right for the front). There's cruise control (convenient). The horn is a real horn, people will move out of the way because it's loud! lol but I appreciate this. There are two-night lights for further and closer visibility. Overall, I'm in love with it so much I will buy from them in the future.

I’ve been a long time customer and they have great customer support with repair parts in stock if needed. Sent my scooter in for repair and received it back within a week. The Dolly XL is a great scooter with a wide standing board and dual lights so people can see you.

I'm a tall, bigger guy and this moves me with zero issue. Really gets moving, and the battery lasts a good long time too. Easy to collapse. Brake is solid, no complaints.

I love it! BUILT VERY STRONG AND IS FAST.. the perfect scooter and u can collapse and bring it with you. Yay!! I had the first and I love it too and this one is great.

This scooter is quite impressive. There is immediate power and speed that can be felt on the high setting and surprisingly runs a long time! The dolly system is a little gimmicky. If the ground is not completely flat, it can feel as if you were taking a wobbly trashcan out to the road. Personally, I prefer walking it in an open state and folding it when I need to store it. We initially bought it to take our dogs out for a quick walk, but found immediate enjoyment that could only be described as feeling like a kid again. As of right now (~2 months), we have had nothing but good experiences with the Glion DollyXL. I will update if anything changes.

We love your scooters! We bought 2 original Dolly scooters 3 years ago and have rode them almost daily. We have put a lot of miles on these with no problems of any kind. These are very durable and well made. In addition to being really practical they are super fun. We use the Dollys so much that we wanted a spare in case we wrecked one. When we saw there’s a new XL version we had to get some. After a couple rides we are very impressed. This is a whole new machine. The original Dolly is like a sporty compact and the Dolly XL is the luxury model. We love the cushy ride and added electronic functions, especially the cruise control. The bicycle like brakes are also a big plus if you cycle and switch machines a lot. Both the original and the XL share excellent handling and controllability especially at very slow speeds. This makes them great for exploring and sightseeing. These scooters easily fold into a very compact package that rolls like a carry on bag. They also take almost no space when standing up. No other scooters we looked at did this. The service/support staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and quick to help with any questions or issues. The fact that this company is located in our state (Nebraska) also factored in to make all this a great deal. We highly recommend these scooters!

I got my XL on Christmas Eve Day and today 12/27/2022 was the first time I took it on what will be its normal commute. This is first impressions. I've worn out two standard dolly's in the past 6 yrs. My normal commute on the scooter is 8 miles total consisting of 1 way between my home and an LA metro station (3miles) and a 1 mile commute to lunch and back. I have a second charger at work, so I would charge the standard dolly's at work. The two standard dolly's I considered worn out when they would no longer do the 3 miles on a full charge. Good things about the XL, the high speed was 17.5mph (Im 215lbs). The hand brakes are so much better than the electric brakes on the standard dolly. Cruise control is wonderful. The pneumatic tires make for a much much smoother ride and eliminate the standard dolly rattle. Contrary to the manual you can change from mid to high speed without stopping, I did it with no issues while coasting (ie no cruise and thumb off the accelerator). The only negative I noticed was there are a lot more external wires on the XL, I'm concerned about snagging while dragging it on and off buses. It is 15lb heavier than the dolly so if lugging the standard dolly is an issue for you, the XL will be harder. It is a different charger than the standard dolly, not sure if I will charge at work or not, need more data. Most of the 3 miles this morning was at High Speed, the battery shows 39.6V, the battery gauge shows 100% full. Ill see where I am at the end of the day when the full 8 daily commute miles are on it.

I really like it and it is real top notch build also really comfortable for the price of it I would buy again

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.

This is the only scooter I have ever ridden. I kid you not, my scooter lasted me 10 years. My scooter met its match after a few falls due to cracks/crevices in the road. The scooter hitting the ground and getting banged up. If it hadn’t been for that, I’m certain I would still be riding it to this day. Love this brand!

PROVEN Products that shout quality craftsmanship, safety, and reliability! I've been a huge fan and supporter since 2014. Glion has GREAT Customer Service too! You're in good hands with Glion!

I have been riding this scooter for the past 2 years and it is a very useful in NYC, the good is that is it reliable and holds a charge pretty good and the portablity of this scooter is by far the best on the market. the little wheels to just be able to pull the scooter is perfect exactly made for a daily commuter who needs to fold up the scooter at some point. the Bad, I am pretty rough with it and had to change out the handle 2 times because it broke, its plastic and I think this should be made with a heavier handle becasue the weight of the scooter is not too important becasue you dont need to lift it up to carry.

I love my Dolly scooter. It makes my commutes so easy. The features of the folding handle bars and the dolly pull. There is no other design like it. That being said, because it is such a unique design, finding a company that can do a repair on it is impossible. The Dolly pull on mine is jammed. It won’t go down, which makes it impossible to open the scooter. The dolly pull is similar to one that you would see on a suitcase, but I have taken my scooter to multiple luggage shops and they all say they can’t fix it. So I don’t know what to do here.

Since places have started requiring people on site again, the commuter rail has gotten much more crowded. My previous scooter did not fold down compactly and didn’t lock. The folding handlebars makes a huge difference in its compactness. I can put it between my legs on the commuter or even in the top rack because it’s so compact. And the compactness doesn’t make it seem cheaper or anything, either. It feels really sturdy. The handle that pops out to wheel it works fine when I carry it by that, too (shortly just to move it), but per their instructional video you should carry it only when the handle pops out to the first stop. The full extension is for wheeling. I’m 5’8” and 240lbs and it works great for me even with my heavy backpack adding weight on.

I bought this 3 years ago and I love it. My only complaint is the shocks need to be improved because it hits hard but other than that it has been awesome. I leave it in my trunk and park far away when there is an event in the city and its busy with parking. I drop everyone off and ride in on my scooter back in and lock it up nearby with a cable lock through the tire.

I've used this scooter as a daily commuter for the last three years. I cant believe it still holds a charge. I see so many scooters out there but none of them fold up to the size of this one. It's a little slower then those speedy ones but I still pass those pay via app rentals.

An incredible scooter and awesome design. I use it to commute around Philadelphia - as a student I love being able to fold it up and bring it inside with me. In addition, the customer service is the best I've ever seen, and was one of the reasons I purchased the Glion Dolly in the first place.They are friendly, responsive, and helpful. I had to get a repair and they made it really easy to ship it back and forth for the fix. At a reasonable price point, definitely consider getting this small but mighty scooter!

About the Glion Dolly Model 225 The Glion Dolly is one of the best commuter E-Scooters on the market. The Glion Dolly features an anti-lock electronic brake, water resistant controls, and a patented vertical self-standing feature.

My husband bought 2. We have so much fun on these. We go cruising around town, and on the local bike trail. We have driven for an hour and still had a little battery left. Had them for a couple of years and they still work just as well as when we bought them.

I Love mine. My husband always wanted to "borrow" it ..so I bought a second one for him so I would always have mine available. Now we ride everywhere together. It s great!

I have two dollys now very reliable🥰🥰🥰customer service is above and beyond.im hooked with glion 🥰

An absolute beast of a little scooter! I got it as a gift a year back and I use it to commute in Charleston to and from classes. It's fantastic to have in a small city it gets me just about everywhere I need to be quickly and reliably. The build quality is what I was most impressed with. It has never let me down has plenty of battery life and is easy to use. Not the fastest scooter on the marker but its hard to beats its portability. A little pricey but I have saved hundreds not having to find transportation every day.

I love my Glion Dolly 225!!!!! It was bought prior to the pandemic in 2019 because of my $2.75 commute on the train to and from work. No more waiting and wasting time on public transportation which can be so unreliable. Post pandemic? I don’t have to worry about social distancing and I am still saving money!!!!

I live in NYC and use the Dolly to commute to work. It's awesome and potholes, bumps you name it this thing is built like a tank.

I’ve been riding the scooter now for about two months in New York City. It’s a good scooter! It’s lightweight convenient and it folds so I can bring it in a store while I shop, and put it under the shopping cart. It only took about two or three days for me to really feel comfortable and confident riding it. It’s fun and easy! It gets me where I need to go on one charge with no problem. It’s not even necessary to charge it every time you ride it you can just charge it like once or twice per week. Perfect for avoiding public transportation during the pandemic.
