Thanks! They're NyloNove bumpers.

Thanks! It sure does have some torque to work with, although I often had to "corner up" the steeper parts. The X3 off road is a good way to learn to work around the shortcomings of weaker wheels.

@@adamizme1 Yes, I'm happy the X3 was my first wheel. I used it in the forest for 3 months and that learned me a lot. Learning to not take any watt for granted. Learning to read the terrain etc. I think a knobby tire could help it a lot.

340km

@@terminator2451no I think this scooter maxes out at 320 kmh

@@Werk4Cash aa ok

Banggood has it. You just have to search their site for "laotie es19 seat"

If that's the case, it basically doesn't have NLS. The point of NLS is to bring the RPM down to where the next shift is (or close) rather than just bouncing off of the rev limiter.

@@adamizme1 Put it in neutral and rev it or just run it to redline and you will see that the rev limiter is different. It doesn't make that same sound. When you let out clutch in the next gear it will pull the rpm down to the next gear and you'll get a little torque boost from doing it, that's why the standard SS NLS is at 6400 and the 1LE is 5000 - 1LE designed for smoothness on race track, normal SS setup for maximum straight line acceleration on drag strip. NLS is still protecting you from over-rev between gears because in a normal powershift situation you'd be bouncing off rev limiter between gears as when you push the clutch in with foot to the floor rpm will rise quickly instead of holding at 6400. Rev limiter is about 6750.

@@z33guru Interesting. Thanks for the info!

I had a basket on my old scooter and foolishly sold it with the basket. It's very handy! Although I have had things go flying out of the basket when I hit a bump. A backpack is a bit more practical.

If you look at my other video where I ride it around my neighborhood, it shows the common wiggle problem. I'm no physicist but I think it's caused by the weird shape that the tires are when fitted to these crazy wide wheels. If the front tire were more narrow or went to more of a point toward the center, I don't think it would happen.

​​@@adamizme1I think he meant speed wobble, but thats what the damper is for, but it is mostly due to the C suspension being really in the wrong direction to have the best suspension effect and thus changes the overall geometry

@@BH4x0r Both are probably factors, but yeah the normal 11 inch tires with hydraulic fork front models are where it's at. Despite it's shortcomings I appreciate this model existed as it got me thinking about optimal designs and as such I made a better choice.

@@FatYokel actually the Mars GTR's "forks" and the Nami Blast's inverted C type are probably the best design, easier to maintain and you can use virtually any type of suspension on those wether it be hydraulic shocks of different brands or air shocks when a shock breaks/starts to leak an Exa 291R isnt as expensive as 2 shock tubes for a Kaabo scooter or whatever and the rebound and preload adjustment is plain better as for the Blast type, it sorta acts like a pair of shock tubes but better

@@BH4x0r Yeah I'd love something like the Mars it's a great design, the inverted C types are probably good too although they look a bit funny. Unfortunately it boils down to cost, the value just isn't there compared to the regular hydraulic models. The manufacturers are crazy greedy to be charging 2-3x the price on the same models with basically just suspension upgrades. The R&D in no way costs that much lol :P But then again nearly all PEV's are overpriced for what you're actually getting, it's just the game we play for now I guess. Perhaps the prices on the superior designs will trickle down as the market matures :)

Thanks! It seems to want to wobble side to side at higher speeds. The steering damper helps when it's turned up, but then it's quite awkward to ride at anything below 30mph.

It's amazing for tooling around at low speeds being a hooligan. They say it gets up to 60mph, but I'm not sure I'd trust it for that. 40mph feels like 100mph on something like this.

@@adamizme1 yeah i like to pop the front on all scoot if i can lol. latest vid is my dualtron storm.

@@smackout I looked at your channel. Between scooters and rc stuff, we have a lot in common! Keep it up!

@@adamizme1 boost everything lol.

Joe Lasalla GoPro used it on their ad for the GoPro hero 8. It’s a cool song

The first run is throttle only slightly uphill and tops out at 24 point something mph. Then I go back the other way (slightly downhill) throttle only and it pretty easily gets to 25 mph and change.

@@adamizme1 anything above 20 is plenty fast I think

No problem! Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying my X6!

Seems to work fairly well. There are a couple downhill sections on my daily ride and I notice a bar added back to the battery meter sometimes. I haven't tried to collect specific data on its efficiency.

The battery regeneration is the main reason I am look at buying this bike along with the speed. How is the bike holding up three months later? Have you put a bunch of miles on the bike since then?

@@dankgenetics9663 I haven't been riding much lately because of the covid thing, but I am just recently starting to ride again. One strange thing happened... My odometer reset to zero on its own! Otherwise it's holding up great.

Yes it is in mph.

I think it's from the wires running along the bottom of the bike, but I'll see if I can pinpoint where it's coming from and make another video about it.

@@adamizme1 could it possibly be the battery rattling in the tube?

@@AntPernal That's absolutely a possibility. Thanks for the tip. I'll check for that too.

@@AntPernal Confirmed by riding around with the battery removed. It is the battery rattling around in the tube.

@@adamizme1 I'm glad you could confirm this. I'd imagine a rattling battery would decrease it's life and safety. Some people have had luck with sticking a couple strips of the fuzzy side of velcro on their batteries to minimize the movement.

I've had it up to about 30mph, but it usually cruises around 25mph in mode 3.

@@adamizme1 that's really good for the price. Do you need the key in order to operate the bike or just take out the battery?

@@nervy4362 Just to remove the battery. I usually carry the key in my pocket because I have a vibration sensing alarm installed on the bottom of the seat and the remote is on the key ring.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm only about 155lbs but it seems to haul me around just fine, even on pretty steep inclines. I've only folded it a couple times, but this seems like a good idea for another video!

A rear rack that only attaches to the seat post should be fine. As far as other rear racks, I'm not sure since the swing arms are not your typical tubed metal. I suppose it depends on the rack. I don't know how much range with throttle only, but I'm 36 miles into the current charge with 46.5v left, which is about 50%. There was quite a bit of pedaling involved though.

@@adamizme1 do you think a 2 inch tire would fit the rim on this bike?

@@AntPernal I'm honestly not sure. The wheel appears to be about 1.6-1.75" wide. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Really enjoying this bike so far!

Thanks! It's a GoPro MAX filming 360 video then framed later.

Thanks! I'll be back on Oct 2nd. I run KW coilovers. because of the long sweeping turns, there was a lot of suspension roll at Roebling. I wouldn't be concerned about the tmic. I still run one too.
