Last week I picked up an X500 with 46 hours. It's a 2015 but was sold last year so it still has a warranty for another 3 years. Today I had a chance to drive it on one of the moderately steep hills. The old rider was an adventure. I would push as hard as I could on the brakes and it would slow me down. The X500 easily stopped even though the grass was slightly soggy, it's like having power brakes. It's also much quieter than the old rider so I'm thinking I may not need to wear hearing protection. I don't think the picture shows the hill behind it very well but the bottom of the stairs are about 2o feet higher than where the X500 is parked with the left side much steeper than the right.
