This battery is not large and heavy like other more long distance scooters. And that is good, because it makes the scooter lighter. Yet, it seems impressive to me that I can ride full speed for 1.5 hours on a charge - that is my estimate. I know for sure that I can do this for 1.25 hours - that I have done. I have 1,000 miles on my VE1 Pro so far. I have never replaced the battery, but I also do not know how to remove it. It appears to be glued down. If so, how do I safely remove it?
