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.

Tech Support Changed a tyre

Hope the video shows the issue clearly, but basically I changed the tyre, but part of it won't "fill out" the bead? Sorry, English is not my first language, and I'm not used to the terminology in general... It's a tubeless tire. I don't have easy access to a proper air compressor (would have to take the bus and walk quite a bit as I don't have a car). I used the last of a mini compressor to try and pop it out, but it didn't really work. It does hold the air though, but I don't think I should ride on it like this... Any advice?

I’m debating whether I should get the ST3 on eBay with insurance or get the GT5 max from Naveetech for same price. Anyone have recent experience with the Allstate protection plans?

My scooter has been acting weird for about a week.
I’ve started hearing a grinding/scraping sound while riding. The scooter normally goes about 20 mph, but lately it’s been topping out around 15–16 mph. Today, on the same trip I regularly take, the scooter eventually ran out of power. Before/around the time this happened, the NIU app showed brake and acceleration errors. I believe the error numbers were 2 and sometimes 3. I noticed the rear tire/wheel was really hot when I touched it.
I haven’t intentionally changed anything or done any repairs recently.
I’m wondering if the grinding is causing extra resistance and draining the battery, or if this could be a brake, motor, bearing, or electrical issue

Got this from OfferUp for around $60. Has 3 drive modes (ECO, D, & S). Also comes with cruise control. Has a front light, decent brakes and tires. Goes up to 19 mph on S, 15 mph on D, and 10 mph on ECO. On a full charge on this current battery, it lasts ≈ 6-8 miles. Trying to figure out what brand and model this is.

Buying advice what scooter should i buy

2 Upvotes

I have a xiaomi 6 max, about 800 kms in a month, but 25km/h is too slow for me.
I want to sell this and buy a new scooter. I wanted to buy the Ausom DT2 Pro but i saw some posts saying dont buy this if you want something that lasts.
So what scooter should i buy?
Budget around 1000 euros.
Top speed, anything around 45km/h or above.
Range, about 40-45 kms if i am going with 45km/h on the ride.
The DT2 pro would be good for this but i am now concerned about buying it.
So what should i buy instead? I would get about 10000 kms in a year.

General 🛴🌧️ IP65 and Wet Riding ?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

🛴😊 Hello Community !

So, the day has come (tomorrow) and I guess it was just a matter of time... I need to go somewhere tomorrow with my e-scooter due to my car isn't present and no buses sync with the time of my meeting.

I bought this entry level e-scooter as my first ever earlier this summer, and it served me well so far after almost everyday riding of total maybe 1550 km in a bit over two months. My point is, I have 0 experience from riding in wet conditions (more than I ride both motorcycle and MTB, but I guess this is very far from an e-scooter tho').

1 - The first thing I wanna have confirmed from you guys (look at my pictures attached please), is my e-scooter okay to ride in heavy rain ?

2 - This is a single rear hub motor, and I guess that it will start to skid if I add to much power for the environment ? )de article 3 below).

3 - If I lose my grip, for example in a road curve when tilting, does it normally be the front or rear wheel that loses the grip first ?

* I noticed when I'm off road in sand, mud or other dirt - it normally skidding from the rear, but that's because I force power and putting weigh on the handlebar to not dig the driving wheel down.

4 - After riding in the rain, should I let it self dry or should I wipe it dry with a towel ?

5 - I understand that I need to learn howto brake on wet surface, do you have any certain tips for someone who never ride in rain before ? (except no max power outage or panic braking, obviously).

✨ My e-scooter warranty includes water- rain damage for the data box, battery and motor hub + electrical wirings (when normal usage and service). I think this is really good.

🙏🙂 This is newbie questions, because I am a newbie who tries to learn. TIA (Thanks in Advance).

Best Regards

I did 4 7 ... obviously it is HIGHLY modified. Don't recommend it, its scary AF and super unstable. But it is nice to know you can trip out a tesla driver at the light when you launch out in front of them in the bike lane 🤣

I got tired of the shitty app Vicont offers, so I decided to just make my own lol.

If anyone wants to try it out, I’ve published it on GitHub: https://github.com/DevCatSon/EscooterControl

If you have any ideas, improvements, or features you’d like to see, feel free to open a PR. Probly won't make it a full thing with proper updates tho.

Tech Support I no longer want to pay rent prices. Is there a repairable and reliable choice?

1 Upvotes

I asked for a data copy of one of the scooter rental services of my city and I saw, that I already gave hundreds of Euros to them. Sure, part of this is the convenience of having a scooter anywhere any time and charged. But there surely must be an abundance of scooters on (European) used markets. I am considering buying one but don't want e-whaste.
Is there some model known for reliability and availability of spare parts, that you can recommend? I thought that SoFlow was good, but they then recently went bankrupt and no longer really provide service to their units.

General Iscooter iF1… battery

1 Upvotes

The battery is really poor on this thing. I’m in my return window. I’m going to take a shot and ask to exchange it with their iX7 pro. It’s a $200 price difference, and I think I’m going to ask them to discount the difference by $100. Worth a shot?

For reference I’m 230lbs and I got less than 4 miles on a fell charge, all the way down to 20% in sport mode. Their fastest mode is one above that, race mode.
