3 Reasons not to Buy the Fonz Arthur

  • Choppy throttle control (difficult to keep a consistent speed)
  • Tires are sourced from a low-budget third-party manufacturer and are prone to punctures

Bottom Line

The Fonz Arthur is an excellent affordable EV option. Fast, safe, and with enough range to get you to the office and home again, it will meet the needs of most urban commuters. While it does suffer from a few design flaws, such as the outsourced tires, they aren't glaring enough to take the Fonz Arthur off your radar.
Henry Winkler would approve of these electric scooters.
