I rented the Go Go Sport last year, and I specifically requested the same for this year. The battery life was great! The only time it decreased from full charge, had one less than all the lights on, was at the end of a long day when I was going uphill. One thing I especially liked was that when I "free-wheeled" it, I was able to push it myself without difficulty. As a solo female that was important-made it easier to get in and out of my room. I didn't ever break it down for transport, but it is one of the travel scooters I'm considering for purchase. Seems to be a great combination of battery life yet weight of individual parts.
