I'm betting they are the big ponchos - the ones that come with the BV scooters are large - I've used them just to cover the scooter! I really like getting from amazon.com some of the disposable plastic ponchos that are folded up into tiny pouches and keeping those handy too. They're so much easier to carry than the big ones - but if it's super rainy I've had to buy the plastic type that Disney sells that are tougher to rip. Hope you have a great trip!Are the poncho's one size fits all? We have two smaller children in the group. For those of you with experience renting from GMS do you believe they will fit small kids also?

Their brochure states that the Victory 10 has the charger and the cell phone carrier.Expecting delivery on Friday once we arrive at the hotel! I've rented the Pride Victory 10 3 wheel scooter. Does anyone know if this scooter has a USB port for cell phone charting?

Quick reminder about the phone holders.....I loved using this feature BUT be aware that if you have your phone in the holder & go over a rough or cobblestone surface your phone may slip out, mine did. I was going over the cobblestones near the Hall of Presidents in MK & boom went my phone & crack went my screen.

Wow! Well we can both determine the accuracy of this soon! I'll be at Universal on Sat/Sun and Disney the remainder of the week. This not only means testing the battery but testing how easy it is to take this apart / reassemble because we rented a car for our universal portion of vacation....We received our delivery confirmation text message, and then I called them for a quick question about the battery. We were assigned Bob as our delivery concierge. I asked about battery life, and Bob said with the new Victory 10 scooters extended power battery my parents could use the scooter for 12 hours with the lights on, the fan running, and charging a phone or tablet non stop, and thats based loading the scooter to the maximum 400 LBS also. He claims we will still have a good battery at the end of every day. Hopefully we will prove that over the next 14 days.
Just wanted to add on to this... The cell phone holder has two small "arms" at the bottom that can be turned out so that your phone can rest on them. Also, make sure that squeeze the side clamps as close as you can until your hear some clicks. To test if the phone is snug in the holder, just try to pull it out from the top. If it moves, squeeze to get an extra click. Here is a picture of a holder that has the same features as the one on the scooter. It is attached to an adjustable arm that can act like a spring when going over those cobblestones. If you keep your speed low, it'll reduce the vibrations and the bouncing of the holder.
Additionally, remember that the power to keep your phone(s) and any other devices you plug in charged up has to come from *somewhere* - and that "somewhere" in this case is the battery that powers the ECV.
So, you are *potentially* draining the ECV battery faster... Now, obviously, it depends on how many devices you plug in, and what each devices' potential "draw" from the ECV battery is... but an iPad Pro, and an iPhone 8+ alone can pull a significant amount of juice to fully recharge. If you are at all concerned about your ECV battery lasting all day long, then you *might* want to consider using an external battery pack.
FuelRods are sold/exchanged all over WDW - in each Park, at Disney Springs, and at the Resorts now too. BUT, you can purchase your FuelRods before you leave home for $20 each (US) from the company's website. That's a lower price than at some airports ($25) and last I checked, it's cheaper than buying them at WDW as well. Once you buy a FuelRod, you can exchange it an unlimited number of times at any FuelRod kiosk for a fully charged FuelRod. You can also recharge it yourself if you want to. We still have our original FuelRods, because we just recharge them every night at the hotel room, but it's nice to know if we ever needed to, we could swap them out and keep on going.
I've been wondering about the FuelRods! I have one & didn't know that was what they were called!! Can it be any fuel rod that you exchange or only a certain brand?
FuelRods are a specific brand of reusable/rechargable external battery charger: https://www.fuel-rod.com/ . Unless you have that specific brand, you don't have a FuelRod.
Disney has FuelRod stations where you can purchase or exchange that specific brand.
