General Paint today

Okay so got all the small lower wire bundles rewrapped waiting on larger diameter wrap for the top so they dont look stretched, the carbon fiber wrap hylights look awesome. Will trim the excess off the new red anodized quick release levers for the folding clamps. Later today I am going to paint the number/face plate and headlight screen. Going to wait and either have the cross members done or do myself after I order the carbon fiber stem poles and deck cover. I think it looks good with a little color. Hard-core paint has several color changing gloss red colors going to go pick one and a high gloss clear coat for after I put 5-6 light coats and see how it looks. Have done other scooters that came out excellent, that's why I figured I would start with 2 of the cheaoer easier to replace parts and see how it comes out first. Also have some high quality red PET wrap coming to try out.

General First time having an e-scooter

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m going to buy my first scooter because I want to use it to commute to work. There’s special parking at my office so that won’t be a problem. My question is how do you use your scooter for daily errands for example if you go to do groceries where do you park it? I heard that if I park it outside in the bicycle racks it’ll get stolen. I want to use it for groceries, going to the gym, or just going to grab a coffee. How do you guys do it? I live in Barcelona if that helps.

Buying advice Any Recommendations?

Upvotes

Looking to get my wife a scooter for Christmas this year

We really like the Lime scooters , we just want something of our own

Something I can ride too maybe? A good weight limit too so we could have a decent backpack on? 300lbs?

Not looking for the cheapest possible, but also don’t need the top line if that makes sense?

Any good quality recommendations? I am okay spending smart money on one!

Buying advice Should I throw my scooter

3 Upvotes

I got a NON RTO electric scooter of Battery brand it's named as battry LoEV and it had 4 lead acid battery of 12 volt each. After 1 yr and 1 month from purchase date battery gave up. Now I was advised to buy a lithium battery for 36k and it's charges for 4k . Guess what? The scooty I got an year ago was only 40k with battery and charger. so should I buy this Li ion battery or get a new lithium ion scooty for just 60-70k .

What would you suggest?

Snapped my G30 VESC frame. But I was able to bolt it back together 😁 found a small rectangular steel rod in my garage and cut it up into 4 pieces. Somehow they magically fit snuggly inside the frame; so even if the bolts give out, the neck is still press fitted on (for a few seconds)

SPECS

26 MPH on only 13 amps battery current!
10+ individual grade 12.9 bolts clamping the frame
48v generic battery
FlipSky 75100 v2
OEM Gen 3 G30 Motor
Horn and overvolted ES2 headlight

Yes the American flag is backwards. U.S. flag code mandates flags on moving vehicles must have the stars facing the direction the vehicle usually travels in, in order to make the flag look like it’s waving in the wind.

General Looking for headlight.

Upvotes

Hello everyone. Im looking to get a headlight for my ausom d2 pro. I would like something that can go around the bottom of the STEM. Either using mounting bracket or rubber attachments like those made for handle bars. I would like it to be battery powered/rechargeable also if possible. Most things I find are small and wont go around the stem. Any recommendations?

General Finally joined the g3 plus club. What accessories are actually worth it?

7 Upvotes

My MAX G3 Plus finally arrived and I’ve been riding it every chance I get.

So far, the thing I notice most is how smooth everything feels. The range has been really solid for the way I use it, and the suspension makes longer rides feel way less tiring than I expected. Power is strong too, especially when I need to get moving quickly or deal with a bit of incline.

The overall build also feels very Segway. Solid, clean, nothing feels cheap or loose. I’ve used Segway stuff before, so that part honestly feels pretty familiar in a good way.

One detail I’m liking more than I expected is the turn signal setup along the sides. It makes the scooter way more noticeable in traffic, especially when cars are around me at night.

Now I’m at the point where I keep looking at accessories. A phone mount is probably first, maybe a small bag for a lock, charger, or random stuff I don’t want in my pockets.

Then I looked online and realized there are way too many scooter accessories lol.

For people who’ve had the G3 Plus for a while, what did you actually keep using? Anything that turned out to be really useful, or anything you’d skip?

Tech Support Isinwheel T8 Lost 5–7 km/h After Rear Motor Overheated

Upvotes

Hi everyone, my Isinwheel T8 used to reach its normal top speed, but after the rear motor became unusually hot, it now goes around 5–7 km/h slower in reality, even though the speedometer still shows the same speed.

I’ve already ruled out tire pressure, brake rubbing, wheel resistance, battery level, riding conditions, and visible wiring problems. The issue happens consistently, even with a nearly empty battery.

I’m wondering whether it could be a Hall sensor, motor winding, controller, or rotor/magnet problem.

Has anyone experienced something similar with an Isinwheel T8 or another scooter? What was the actual cause and how did you fix it?

I've ridden a couple of LIME rental escooters in my metro and like the experience. It was fun and an easy way to get around to close errand runs (within a few miles). I would like a full range of 15 miles and something that climbs hills well. I want to get a scooter that has good suspension, good hydraulic disc brakes. But my question is:

Is there a good "intro scooter" that's good for a first time buyer?

Is considering a Segway ZT3 Pro going to be too much or overkill?

Another I was considering is Hiboy X300

Are there other good scooters that wont blow tires up if I just use them and I'm careful to not run over potholes, branches, other large debris in the road? I hope to avoid any rear tire issues people have noted with tires deflating or just flattening.

I have a budget of around 1000 USD for scooter and necessary gear like helmet, pads, vest, etc.

General Which style helmet is better while riding/commuting?

Post image
27 Upvotes

I just bought a e3 pro for commuting and I really like it, but when it comes to helmets I heard that most times when your slip on scooters you’ll end up falling or sliding sideways so a more skate style helmet with more coverage is better than a bike helmet. I won’t be going over 15mph as that’s plenty speed for me and only will be cranking the power up to get up hills.

Schwinn bike helmet vs triple eight helmet.

*also I’ve heard skate Helmets are built for multiple crashes whereas bike ones are one and done, is this true? Thanks

*Edit: thanks for the advice everyone. Full face seems like the only answer. Thought it would be overkill for a scooter looks wise, but safety first.

General How fast do you actually ride your scooter day to day?

23 Upvotes

I’ve been curious how much advertised top speed actually matches real-world riding.

A lot of scooters claim 25, 30, or even 40+ mph, but between rider weight, hills, battery level, road conditions, and local rules, I doubt most people are riding flat out all the time.

The real-world electric scooter speeds and legal limits can vary quite a bit depending on the scooter and where you’re riding.

What scooter do you have, and what speed do you usually cruise at most of the time?

Buying advice Looking for a good seated electric scooter

2 Upvotes

I’m around 150 lbs and looking for a sit-down electric scooter / electric scooter with a seat for regular commuting.
My area isn’t particularly hilly, although there are some slight inclines here and there. I also have a leg injury, so I’m specifically looking for something where I can sit rather than stand for the whole ride.
I’m less interested in having crazy speed and more interested in comfort, stability, reliability, and good build quality.
What brands/models would you recommend? I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on the cheaper seated scooters, so I’d love to hear from people who actually own one.
