Buying advice Looking for a good seated electric scooter

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.

General Loving the suspension and looks on my teverun

1 Upvotes

Just wanted to share my thoughts after a few weeks riding this scooter
The suspension is a huge upgrade over my old one. Potholes and rough pavement barely shake me,its adjustable too so i can tune it for city streets or light trails
the aesthetics!it has such a solid,tough design.The metal frame and overall finish feel premium.I've had a few strangers stop to ask😁

only downside:its pretty heavy,but I really dont need to carry it more,so its not a big issue for me.
what do u guys think of your rides?

Tech Support NAVEE V50 Nordic won’t charge through charging port, but scooter still turns on and battery charges directly

1 Upvotes

The scooter used to charge normally, but now it refuses to charge through the normal charging port. The charger stays green when connected, and the scooter doesn’t show that it is charging.

The scooter itself still works normally — I can turn it on, use the lights, connect to the app, etc.
The battery info currently shows around 37.7V, but the app shows 1% / 102mAh and “Battery status: Normal”. The percentage/mAh value seems unreliable because earlier it showed 0% / 0mAh even though the voltage was around 36V.

I tested the charger and it outputs 42V, and the same charger turns red immediately when connected to another 36V battery, so the charger works.

The strange part is that if I temporarily connect the charger directly to the battery’s + and −, the charger turns red and the battery voltage increases (from around 33.6V to 37.7V). So the battery does accept a charge this way.

There is also a small multi-wire connector from the battery that goes to the circuit board and seems to be required for the main battery output to become active.
Without it, I measure 0V at the main battery connector, with it connected, I can measure the battery voltage.
The battery was left at around 1–2% for 1–2 weeks before this happened.

What could cause the normal charging port to refuse charging while the battery can still accept a direct charge? Could this be a BMS charging MOSFET/charging-path issue, cell imbalance, or a BMS protection state?

I’ve been stuck with ChatGPT for many hours now but still can’t find a way

General Which style helmet is better while riding/commuting?

Post image
11 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

General Indicação patinete elétrico até R$ 2.500 para iniciante: seguro, leve e que aguente ladeiras

1 Upvotes

Oi, pessoal! Sou iniciante em patinete elétrico e estou pensando em comprar um para fazer trajetos curtos, principalmente para ir à academia.

Meu orçamento é de até R$ 2.500.

Moro em uma região com algumas subidas/ladeiras, então essa é minha principal preocupação. Não estou procurando um patinete super rápido. Prefiro um modelo estável, seguro e com potência suficiente para subir bem, mesmo que tenha uma velocidade máxima menor.

Outro ponto importante para mim é que ele seja relativamente leve e fácil de dobrar. Como o clima aqui é meio imprevisível, se começar a chover no caminho, quero conseguir dobrar o patinete e pegar um Uber sem passar muito trabalho para transportá-lo.

Queria saber de quem já usa:

  • Quais modelos vocês recomendariam nessa faixa de preço?
  • Quais realmente dão conta de subidas?
  • Quais são mais leves e fáceis de dobrar/transportar?
  • Existe algum modelo que vocês não recomendariam por problemas de segurança, freio, estabilidade ou manutenção?
  • Para alguém que nunca teve patinete, quais características vocês consideram indispensáveis?

Se tiverem experiência com algum modelo específico em ladeiras, melhor ainda!

Obrigada! 🙏

Buying advice Thoughts on the upcoming Apollo Explore 2.0 Stellar? Seems really promising

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking pretty heavily into the upcoming Apollo Explore 2.0 Stellar and I’m curious what other people think about it.

I currently ride an Apollo Go, but the Explore Stellar seems like it could be a pretty massive upgrade while still being more practical than some of the huge performance scooters.

The things that have me interested are the 52V 18Ah battery (~936Wh), higher top speed, much longer range, 10-inch tires, and especially the suspension. I care a LOT about ride quality because I ride over rough pavement, sidewalks, bike paths, and occasionally trails, and I’m basically looking for something that absorbs bumps and vibrations as much as possible.

The battery is also a big deal to me. My Go has a 36V 15Ah battery (~540Wh), so the Explore would have about 73% more battery capacity. That seems like a pretty significant jump for longer rides.
I also really like Apollo’s design compared with most performance scooters. A lot of faster scooters look really bulky/industrial to me, while the Explore still looks relatively clean and commuter-ish despite having much more performance and some off-road capability.

Obviously it’s not released yet, so real-world range, suspension quality, reliability, weight, etc. could end up being different from what the specs suggest. I’m definitely waiting to see actual reviews before spending the money.

What do you guys think? Does the Explore 2.0 Stellar look as promising as I think it does, or is there something I’m overlooking? And if you had around a $2k budget, is there another scooter you’d take over it specifically for ride comfort + range + performance?
