xm3k

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie with xm3k as my first escoot.

Received xm3k on July 7, other than cosmetic problems: broken panels, missing handcup,
ripped seat cover, the xm3k seemed ok.

after initial inspection and tighten some nuts/bolts, executed John H. recommendation of charging/ride 1-2 miles;
charge and ride. Worked great.

on the fourth and longer ride, 5 miles with some hills, the scoot had problem climing some hills, though the battery
meter was still in the green zone; which is not unexpected.
