E bike/scooter performance info needed urgently please

[jkam]

Hi all, Can you help with a little knowledge please? I am intending to collect a Yamaha scooter I bought tomorrow with fully charged new batteries, I want to ride it about 10 miles home but the seller said .....'are you thinking of riding it home i dont think it will make it as they are just for short distance they do about 12mls on a full charge but not in one go as the motor gets hot after 2to 3 mls then you have to give them a rest these do not go like a motor bike' The listing said range 28 miles at 15mph. I have no experience of e bikes/scooters. Surely what he states is wrong and it must be faulty? It's a Yamaha Matis R.
I don't think they were marketed in the UK. Seller remorse maybe? I paid £190
Thanks

as stated on another thread by funkylyn, get the refund and look for something that is going to work and last

I agree with ajb9 a refund is to me the only option, the scooter would seem to have a problem.

Hi,
The refund will only be an option if I can definitively state that this is a problem-- not how they should perform. I expected ebikes would perform as advertised but I have no empirical knowledge and will have to tell a seller of many ebikes that he has contradicted himself. Hard to believe he was expecting I would only discover he is a cheat after I later use it. Hence my asking you, the oracle.
Please remove my other posting if it contradicts listing rules. It contains an explanation as to why I think I made an error.
"look for something that is going to work and last " Yep, I did.....a YAMAHA with brand new batteries.
Cheers all.
