Glion Dolly Features Overview

It is not a far-stretched claim to say that the Dolly is an ultimate portable electric scooter. You can easily carry it around. The following are some features that make it better in terms of portability quality:

  • Dolly wheels

The dolly wheels are one of the most prominent features of Glion Dolly. These tires help not only in riding but also in carrying around the folded scooter.

  • Folding stem

There is a convenient large lever that you can use to fold up the scooter.

Glion has a handle like in a rollable suitcase. When folded, the handle can be used for towing. You can control the telescopic handle by pushing on one button. You can easily carry it around by using this handle. The dolly wheels further make it easy to carry around the folded bike.

  • Handlebars

The handlebars of the scooter are highly minimalistic in nature. It has twist-style accelerators and brakes. The handlebars also have a display as well as a mechanical bell.

  • LCD screen

There is a small LCD screen on the right side of the handlebars. It provides information about battery charging progress and exhaust. However, there is no other information on this LCD. Right below the LCD screen, there is a red button that can be used to turn the scooter on and off. It can also be used for controlling the lights of the scooter.

  • Brake control

The braking system is not up to the mark for Glion Dolly. The scooter offers little modulation when it comes to braking. When the brake handle is twisted, there is a sudden and very strong brake applied. It can be surprising for you, especially when you are new to the scooter. It is not easy at all to apply light brakes on this electric scooter.

  • Lights

At the front, there is a single light. At the back of this scooter, there is only a red reflector. Although the front lights are enough for when it becomes dark, you must not rely solely on this light on a route without lights. If you have to frequently commute when it gets dark, getting additional lights is recommendable.

  • Tires

The 8″ front and back scooter tires are airless and solid, which ensures there is no risk of flats. Hence they require very little or no maintenance. However, they are not suitable for rough or bumpy paths.

  • Suspension

One of the major drawbacks of Glion’s scooter is its lack of good suspension. You are bound to get a rough ride on uneven tracks.

  • Build quality

The scooter may get a bit noisy on rough roads. There is frequent rattling as well on bumpy rides. However, it requires very little maintenance. Wittily, it can be called a German tank.

These features make the scooter one of the best when it comes to portability. Once it is folded, it takes very little space. Also, there are ample measures for protection for times when it is placed on the floor. For example, there is a nylon wrap in the middle of the handlebars.
