Glion Dolly Electric Scooter Review

So, we’re back to giving you a thorough analysis of the Glion Dolly Electric Scooter again. The scooter’s additional features set it apart from the competition and make it more appealing to riders. The Glion Dolly electric scooter is a heavy-duty, non-falling, compact machine. Not only is this electric scooter one of the most lightweight models available, but it’s also portable. To begin with, we’d want to provide you with our performance test findings, which may differ from the manufacturer’s.

Glion Dolly Electric Scooter

The Glion Dolly Electric Scooter is an excellent choice for individuals who transport many scooters to and from public transportation. The scooter’s design is based on this idea. The purchase decision is only as good as it meets your needs. There are other options available if you do not need this capability.

 

Acceleration 

Although the Glion Dolly has a 250-watt motor, it is pretty slow. Our scooter testing found that it took 9.4 seconds to reach a top speed of 24 kilometers per hour.

Hill climb 

Dolly proved a solid climber, reaching the top of our mountain climbing test (60m, 10 grade, 74kg rider) in 17.9 seconds on average with a speed of 12.2km/h. The M365, which required 20.8 seconds to reach the top at an average speed of 10.6 km/h, outperformed it.

Dolly will transport you to the tiny mountains, but it is not a hill-climbing machine. It will slow down somewhat on even moderately steep slopes. On severe slopes, you must get off the scooter and walk.

Top Speed

Our test recorded a top speed of 25.4 km/h on a flat surface. With a 250-watt motor, this speed is appropriate for an electric scooter. However, if you compare this scooter’s speed to that of the Swagtron Swagger 5, it is slightly less powerful. Anything over 24 km is appropriate for most city commutes. The following motor makes a lot of noise when operating at high speeds.

Range

A 238-watt lithium-ion battery pack is included with this scooter. According to our testing results, this scooter can travel up to 23.5 km on a single charge.

Brake

Dolly stopping times were assessed when interval speeds varied from 24 km per hour to 0 km per hour. It was determined that Dolly takes 12.2m to come to a stop. The breaking we have accomplished so far is shown in this.

Glion Dolly uses electronic brakes in the rear to help you slow down. By twisting the control, you trigger the break. The brakes can’t change their power because of the binary way they operate. In other words, the brakes are either thoroughly engaged or not engaged.

You must be cautious at high speeds to ensure you don’t lose your balance and shift your weight toward the scooter’s rear. You’ll come to a complete stop rather abruptly if you pull on the brakes. If you’re not expecting it, this may be a fantastic opportunity.

Overall, our analysis reveals that there is only a very slight difference between the Gloucester. Initially, they appear to be reasonably strong, which can lead to frustration later on. The braking distances are also longer, and they quickly lose their strength. Braking is more reliable on two-brake system scooters than on mechanical ones, with a distance of 24 km from as little as 5 km to 6 km.

Ride Quality 

Glion does not allow for any suspension. There are no cushions provided by either the front or rear tires, which are both solid. If you’re riding on smooth pavement, the quality of your ride on a dolly is good enough. Expect a painful experience that will hurt your joints and your brain on the spooky roads (a section of our test track).

One of Dolly’s most significant shortcomings is her low ride quality. While scooters have come a long way, such as the “ultra” portable models (US Cotter Booster V or Unagi Model One), they still lack the durability to ride on bad roads. This trade is somewhat genetic.

Portable 

The Gillian Dolly, the final portable electric scooter, is not an exaggeration. This scooter was designed with functionality and convenience in mind.

This scooter is portable, with several built-in features to facilitate easy transport.

• telescoping stem
• Folding stem
• Folding handlebars
• Dolly wheels
• Telescoping towing handle

However, the dolly wheel with the distance scope handle that protrudes from the platform is the main focus of this narrative. Its results are excellent. Seeing the second performance and utilizing the typical commercial facilities is worthwhile if you ride a crowded bus or train.

The dolly wheels are simple to roll. Furthermore, this thing stands vertically and takes up very little space when you need to squeeze into a bus or train like a sardine. There is also a nylon wrap in the middle of the handlebars, which rests on the floor. When touching the ground, it provides a safer environment.

The scooter’s dolly-shaped wheel that protrudes from the tail is what gives it its name. The wheels on the luggage are similar to the ones that allow it to rotate smoothly when the joints align.

The Glion also has a telescopic handle that is attached to the deck. It is attached to the scooter with a push button, and it spins just as quickly on its dolly wheels as the handle of a roll-ball suitcase does.

Because it is so smooth, you only need one hand to remove the raise tool to increase or decrease the handlebar. It locks in place and doesn’t stay.

Cockpit

This scooter is simple to collapse and expand with a large folding lever. The Glion Dolly has a small cockpit/handlebar region that contains the following:

• Twist-style accelerator/brakes
• Power button
• LCD Display
• Mechanical bell

Overall, the modern electric scooter’s cockpit is a little behind the curve. For example, Dolly employs twist-style throttle and brake controls, which are somewhat difficult to operate. The only information displayed on the LED screen is the battery level.

This motorcycle has a twist throttle that is unique and controls the speed. Although this might seem a perfect idea, it can be tough to try and subtly manage the throttle. We have, however, set the scooter to full throttle, which is a relatively ergonomic position due to the scooter’s extremely low volume.

The handlebar’s right side features a tiny LED display that displays battery life but provides no other information. A large red button drives the scooter and controls the light below the LED display. For those scooter riders, you can now turn your front light on and off with a quick toggle of the button.

The electronic brake is the only mode of braking that overcomes another twist mode, allowing for minimal braking modulation. Turning around will cause you to experience a forced break, which is unexpected if you weren’t expecting it.

On the Glion, if you don’t have complete control, then it’s not possible to break lightly. Although we don’t particularly like it, it is manageable once you get used to it.

Light

Glion has a single, low-mounted front light for easy visibility and only a passive rear reflector for safety. Although a front light can be very useful if you are stuck in an emergency after dark, you should not rely on it. We believe it has little power to allow you to ride safely at night.

Tires

The Glion features 20.3 cm solid tires in the front and rear. Brake tires are flat-free and require zero maintenance. However, the trade road’s performance is poor.

These tires are not designed to hold pneumatic (air-filled) cargo; however, they are not highly resistant to rough highways. Dolly doesn’t have such high standards in part because of this.

Deck

The deck’s standing room is 45.7 cm to 14.3 cm, on the small side for a tiny scooter but not excessively. Ground clearance is 8.2 cm. You can adjust the handlebar distance from the deck between 75.6 cm and 96.6 cm.

Warranty

The warranty period for the Glion Dolly is 12 months or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Build Quality

There is no IP (water resistance) number for Glion Dolly. The manufacturer advises against it and warns that it might void your warranty, even though most scooters can tolerate some rain exposure.

If you ride a scooter roughly on bumpy roads, the scooter will make some noise. Some parts of the scooter rattle when you apply hard acceleration, and the motor revs up when the vehicle moves.

FAQs

Q1. What is the battery lifespan?

These scooters use high-end Li-ion batteries; until now, not a single replacement battery has been sold. We have a thousand plus charge cycles.

Q2. Are these tough tires with any shock-absorbing springs that make it easy to ride on a collision floor?

There is no absorbing spring shock. The tires are composed of rubber with an umbrella-style interior. Similar to the interior of a pneumatic tire, the honey cake’s interior absorbs shock.

With Glion Dolly tires, you don’t have to worry about maintenance or flats. However, these are not hard plastic tires. The wheel is an essential element for a smooth ride. The smoother the ride, the larger the frame.

Q3. Will this scooter function the same in cold and rainy conditions?

It’s okay to be cold, but make sure you’re prepared and can find the snow. Running in freezing temperatures will lower the battery’s power. Please do not keep your Glion electric scooter in a location that is hotter than 110 degrees Fahrenheit or 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Waterproof, not waterproof,” describes the Glion Dolly electric scooter. The seals on our battery compartment can withstand slight dampness, and the elements will keep out any moisture.

However, we advise you not to ride in wet conditions because the roads become slippery when wet, and the scooter may fall beneath you. Any water entering the battery compartment could damage or even destroy the battery and controller, and replacing them would be costly.

Final Words

Glion Dolly will not get any accolades for her performance, ride quality, or appearance. According to our analysis, scooters fall short in a number of these categories. It’s not particularly quick and doesn’t have an excellent range of great brakes. However, if you are the correct individual, this scooter is unique.

This is the scooter for you if you need to take it on public transport during your travels. Dolly is easy to connect to and rolls along with you to take advantage of the many public transport options. It’s not any worse to have a small piece of luggage, and you avoid crashing into other passengers on a crowded train or bus.
