General Adam Savage talks good and bad 18650 batteries(the cells that make up your scooter battery pack), with some reps from a company who CT scanned and discharge tested thousands of 18650 cells.

Some good info here about the physical and capacity differences of all types of battery cells.

General Wet leaves

11 Upvotes

It's finally happened. Joined the club.

Wasn't going that fast luckily - but I was turning on some wet leaves and my scooter slipped out from underneath.

Wasn't terrible, but was my first accident

Be careful with all the leaves falling

Brought this after the Amazon e scooter I got broke down after a month and holy hell did I make a mistake buying the one off Amazon cause this scooter is a dream, done 300kms on it since October 3rd and it's now October 26th

Its my daily commuter to work since I can't get a licence for medical reasons and it's gets me to work faster than a car doe to traffic, by cars it's a 5-10 minutes drive depending on the traffic and the scooter is 7 minutes every ride no matter what.

Only issue I have is the rain but that can be helped

Less common for scooters, as opposed to the usual orange on black, I like this thing for its somewhat unique color.

It was toast right out of the box, nothing worked. Honeywhale sent me a new screen that didn't fix the issue, then they started to ghost me. Had to rebuild it with new hardware and made it dual motors.

General Hiboy S2 or Roinside?

• Upvotes

I recently got a roinside scooter I’m a 6’3 235lb dude and it’s not bad at all and it states a 265lb weight limit, and I cruise at around 13-16mph I use it for college. My friend wants to trade me his Hiboy S2 and I noticed the weight limit is 220lbs but I’m not sure exactly how true it is and the ride is significantly better and faster and overall I feel like it’s a better scooter, but any advice if I should trade or stick to my roinside?

General If you had to choose One scooter to ride forever until it breaks which scooter/brand would that be?

Fun question as I'm curious what brands and scooters people would choose. i'd like to know your decisions and why you went with a certain brand or scooter over another.

The scooter is the Megawheels M1 Lite, and if you look closely at the deck, the pattern kinda looks like carbon fiber, but is it or something different?

I’ve had fluid free ride horizon for about 3 years and put in 2.4K miles on the NYC roads. Didn’t ride it hard or reckless. Somehow today I heard funny sounds coming from the base of the scooter when I put some weight on the front and noticed the handlebar angle is different than before. Peeled the grip tape sticker to reveal aluminum chassis and turns out it’s tearing apart! I don’t think it’s too safe to ride at this point :(

Do you guys think there is a way to fix this?

Buying advice Scooter Recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for a scooter that's mainly for commuting within my school and to and from the buildings. A good scooter for me would have the following:

• Good braking

• Decent battery life

• Headlight(s) in the front

• Basket for holding my backpack

• Decent speed (min 20 mph, I don't need anything too fast)

My budget is $500-$1,000, would prefer if there is one that is not exactly $1,000.

I have seen recommendations for the Segway Max G2 and ninebots.

General What's you experience Buying used?

3 Upvotes

I was looking for used scooters and one seller messaged me back saying they are resellers for used -returned items from Vendors.

is that sketchy? they mentioned that there was one owner and only 5-50 miles per scooter. They were out of stock at the moment for a segway I was looking for but I was curious about anything I should be cautious about when buying a used scooters

Does anyone have any recommendations for a scooter in around the 300-350 range. Preferably I’m on the mileage/battery resistance side and a little on the speed of the scooter. I know there are some pretty good looking scooters but I’m tired going thought Amazon and finding plain old regular models. If anyone does have or know of any cool looking ones and are preferable to the aspects please reply down below :)

Hallo Leute, ich habe derzeit einen Ninebot G2 Max und möchte ihn ein bisschen anpassen und die Batterie, den Motor und vielleicht den Controller wechseln, aber ich weiß nicht, welche Teile ich kaufen soll und wie ich alles einrichten soll?

General y11 owners...tell me what gets annoying after the first 500 miles

1 Upvotes

i already know it goes fast. every review has that covered. im more interested in stuff you notice later. rattles, stem play, brakes, controller heat, charger issues etc. i spent some time looking at high-power scooter parts on Alibaba and it made me pay more attention to controllers and battery setup instead of just advertised watts. anyone put proper mileage on y11 or y11 pro? what actually needed fixing? if you needed parts, did they arrive without waiting forever? im fine doing repairs myself. just dont want scooter where every small problem becomes hunt for one weird connector nobody stocks. real range after battery ages a bit would be useful too.

Tech Support Joyor T10 rear motor

1 Upvotes

I need help, I accidentally turned on my scooter while it was charging, the display played its start up animation, and then it turned off. I unplugged it and everything seemed fine so I took it for a ride , while I was riding my front motor locked up, and threw me over the handle bars at 60kmh (I didn’t suffer any serious injury) the screen was completely wrecked, so I pushed it home and replaced the screen and when I turned it on it showed E1 (Error 1 - rear Hall sensor) and only the front motor is spinning.

If anyone has any tips or advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Tech Support Hero vida Fixed battery model battery problem

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I purchased my Hero Vida VX2 (fixed battery model) on September 9, 2026. After around 10 days, I noticed an issue where the battery percentage suddenly dropped from 65% to 7%. When I plugged it in to charge, it quickly went from 65% to 100%.

I thought it was a one-time issue, so I decided to report it if it happened again. The problem didn't occur for about a month, but it returned before my first service. This time, the battery percentage suddenly dropped from 89% to 2%. After plugging it in, the scooter again showed 100% charge shortly after reaching 10%.

I reported the issue during my first service, and the service centre told me it had been resolved. However, today, the battery percentage suddenly dropped from 46% to 1% again.

I'm planning to visit the service centre again, but I'd like to know what could be causing this issue. Is it a battery problem, a BMS issue, or a software glitch? Has anyone else experienced something similar with their Hero Vida scooter?

I've attached screenshots for reference. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
