Electric Scooter Valuation Appraisal

RCB Electric Kick Scooter

This is a pre-owned electric kick scooter featuring a black matte finish on the frame and handlebars. The central cockpit display housing is prominently branded with the 'RCB' logo in white block lettering. Construction appears to be primarily metal (likely aluminum alloy) for the stem and deck, with rubberized grips on the handlebars. A notable and concerning feature is a significant amount of white adhesive or sealant, possibly silicone or epoxy, applied crudely at the junction where the handlebars meet the vertical stem, suggesting a DIY repair for structural stability or waterproofing. Further signs of wear include scuffing on the black paint of the display housing, a white zip-tie secured around the upper stem, and visible dirt on the deck's grip tape. The scooter features a thumb throttle and a mechanical brake lever or bell attachment on the handlebars. Based on the design, it appears to be a modern commuter-style electric scooter, likely manufactured within the last 3-5 years. The heavy-handed repair at the critical junction significantly impacts the item's safety profile and overall aesthetic quality.
