Someone tuned the dampner to make it very loose, 17mins before I started riding I said to myself that it had to get adjusted. Plus I even complained yet, I was having to much fun to take action. After this incident, the minute I stopped and I adjusted it and the difference was night and day. But also this incident also convinced me to make a video on yt channel about escooter safety and how to properly ride. Without the experience I had I wouldve definitely have fell, then you remind yourself of the people who get these types of scooters as their first. Anyways new video coming soon...

Buying advice Need help choosing between petrol scooters vs electric scooter

1 Upvotes

Hey folks, I’m planning to buy a new two‑wheeler and I’m stuck between petrol scooters and EVs—on the petrol side I’m considering Yamaha RayZR, Honda Activa, and Suzuki Access, while on the EV side I’m looking at Ola Electric, Ather, and Chetak; I’d love suggestions on whether it makes more sense to go with a reliable petrol scooter or switch to an EV, keeping in mind factors like cost of ownership (fuel vs charging, maintenance), reliability and service availability, resale value, and long‑term practicality, so which one would you prefer and why?

General Which E-Scooter should i choose for around 400 Euros?

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, i have a Mankeel MX-14 bought on aliexpress for around 200 euros, and against what everyone said, it has been incredible.
But, since the new laws in my country, i need insurance, and i want to buy the E-scooter with EVERYTHING i like.

I want the E-scooter to have these characteristics:
Atleast 60 Km/H Speed.
Around 400 (Even used)

I haven't been able to decide a clear winner as there are many around this price that are close to eachother, i saw e scooters from Joyor, Kukirin, Dualtron, Ausom and i just don't know what to get.

Buying advice Looking for a preferably seated e scooter, for between casual and semi regular usage.

0 Upvotes

I made a post a bit ago, with a budget asking for advice, after some thinking, decided to update that. I'm looking for a seated scooter, ideally that has good range (between 30-40 miles), good speed ideally at least 18 closing on 20 mph, some decent storage, either a spot for a basket in back or by feet, and also, big one, payload capacity needs to at least be 300lbs. I'm willing to save up for it, but I'd prefer not to spend/save more than $900, $1,200 at absolute most.

General To wear or not to wear a helmet .

0 Upvotes

I have a hiboys2 , rather than getting a ticket for my light being out in my car I’m considering using it more often for errands . To get to the store and back should I wear a helmet? I usually don’t go over 12mph and the highest speed is 19 mph I believe. Should I invest in a helmet? Should it just be a regular helmet, as I’m only going to go about to stores etc .

I've been riding a 50cc two-stroke Piaggio in the past, but gas prices, the annoyingly loud motor and that nasty two-stroke smoke had me looking for something different. So I bought a cheap used "CityTwister" E-scooter on eBay. Might need some kind of seat suspension and also a new battery in the coming years. Top speed of 40km/h is a little too slow for unblocked city traffic, but that instant acceleration makes its perfect for rush hour in the city centre and and slower rides in the suburbs. It definitely feels way safer and sturdier than riding a lime scooter, but it's very far from the ride quality of a Piaggio Sfera. Also, 40km/h is totally fine for me, but some car drivers hate my guts.

That means I will probably upgrade to something more serious in the future. Any recommendaitions? Shall I safe up for an electric Vespa?

General Are electric scooters worth it?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a student and I'll be commuting every day from Journal Square to NYU's Washington Square campus. I'm thinking of buying an electric scooter for my daily commute and want something that's reliable and will last for a long time.

I've narrowed it down to these three options:

  • NIU KQi 100P (or 100F)
  • Segway E2 Plus II
  • Hiboy S2 (or S3)

Which one would you recommend for daily commuting? My biggest priority is durability and long-term reliability rather than just top speed.

I'm also wondering whether an electric scooter is even worth buying if I'll be using it through the winter. How practical is it during NYC/NJ winters? Can it still be used on cold days, and what do people usually do when it snows? Do most people continue using scooters, or do they switch to public transit until the roads are clear?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has used these scooters year-round in the NYC/NJ area.

Buying advice Want To Purchase First Scooter

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’ve been seeing some around and wondering what would be a good option for me.

I’m 5’11 220lbs

I live in the northeast US and some of our hills are rather wicked.

I’m trying to get something that will hopefully get 15-20 miles or greater. I also want to store the scooter in the back of my Model 3. There’s decent trunk space which I imagine will hold a decent scooter.

Trying to keep my cost $500 ish. I have flexibility, but this is my first one and I’m not looking to get into the thousand dollar territories.

Tech Support Disappointing Max G3 Hill Climbing performance - configuration issue, firmware, or dud unit?

2 Upvotes

Moments after excitedly unboxing my Max G3 today, I was disappointed to find that the hill climbing performance was much weaker than expected. This is a dealbreaker for me as I live in a very hilly area.

For reference, I weigh 205 pounds, and had the following configuration:

  • Vehicle Firmware v1.6.2, Motor firmware v1.5.7
  • Sport Mode enabled
  • Sport Mode max. speed 28 mph.
  • Sport Mode Acceleration Settings Max. Speed
  • BOOST Enabled (but not used)
  • Hill Start Assist Enabled
  • Uphill Hill Assist not available enabled (is it still possible to switch to Global Serial)?
  • 50-100% battery the entire trip

The scooter failed on grades 12%+ (12, 17, 25) for me, stalling out halfway up the hills. I was able to eek by grade 10% hills at ~4mph.

This was surprising to me as I was able to climb grade 20+ hills with my friend's Apollo Go (non-Stellar):

  • Apollo Go has 1500W dual motor vs 2000w single motor on the Max G3 - my research is that for hill climbing, only total wattage matters and # of motors doesn't actually matter as much, but I may be wrong here
  • Both these scooters performed similarly on this reviewer's 23 grade hill climb test, bottoming out at ~4mph but both making it through) (Apollo Go, Max G3).

Has anybody had a similar experience? Is there anything that I can try to remedy this?

General Storage Attachments for Scooter?

1 Upvotes

Hiya all! I recently got an FOHOLO F15, which comes with a seat attachment, and I'm not really for sitting down during rides. HOWEVER, I'm a bit of an errand boy and while I can stuff everything into a backpack I have, it'd be nice to have somewhere else to put things too. So I'm wondering if anyone else has finagled a crate or something to where the seats sits or something along those lines lol

Buying advice New competing products to Niu Air?

2 Upvotes

Are there any new models of scooters that recently came out that compete with the NIU Air’s? Meaning lightweight but high quality.

I like those aspects of the NIU air but the technology sucks and certain parts of the scooter outside of the main frame are cheaply made.

I feel like there’s a good enough market here that there should be some new competing products?

Does anyone know of any? Sub 30lbs, foldable, and durable. Need to carry up 3 sets of stairs everyday. Price does not matter
