Mercane Widewheel 2020 (Pro) Electric Scooter Review - Performance & Features

- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- The long anticipated Mercane Widewheel 2020, also known as the Mercane Widewheel Pro is finally here. We took it for a test drive at the indoor track in Montreal, Canada and this video is a breakdown of everything we like and dislike about Mercane's new scooter. Once we tried it indoors, we couldn't resist taking it outside despite the snowy conditions. So we did and we don't regret a second of it.
Overall, the Mercane Widewheel 2020 Pro can be summarized by saying that Mercane finally caught up on all the basics we've been asking about for years. The display is here. The second brake for a scooter that pushes 40 km/h is here. The metal frame is reinforced and supposedly much more crack-resistant. With these basic, yet new upgrades in place we can finally start to enjoy the Mercane Widewheel for what it's known for - addicting torque and high speeds. Even though this is Mercane's third version of the Widewheel, we would argue this is ground zero. This is no longer a kick-starter project, but rather a product that can take on the likes of Zero or Boosted. A product that can take them on, and for a fraction of the price, crush them.
The scooter is now available for pre-order with January delivery, exclusively at Apollo Scooters:

@Jamison Benjamin Flixportal
@Braylen Johnny Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
@Jamison Benjamin Happy to help xD
Merci beaucoup pour ce test complet ! 👍
Patrick Bourdon Avec plaisir - merci pour ton commentaire 😊💪🏻
Can't wait for my 2019 Pro to get here! I ordered in the Christmas pre-sale batch :P
Shipping out this week :-)!!!
how much was it then?
Just ordered mine from apollo and i have to say they are really friendly and extremely helpful. Will update when i get, can't wait!
Agreed their friendliness knows no limits. Just got my widewheel pro today and the experience touched me on a personal level~ It was amazing
@@Rachiou077 I'm so glad to hear this
@@jscrub6232 5 days away.. thank you for your trust and order, you're going to love this beautiful scooter :-). And always here if you need anything else!
@@Rachiou077 so you have had it for a few days, whats your opinion so far?
@@jscrub6232 unfortunately I've only had 2 chances of riding it but both was a blast.
So far I do enjoy riding it just only that the delay on the throttle makes the scooter takes some getting to use to as well as steering. However it's only my first ever scooter. You do have to take a little extra precaution because of it's acceleration.
I'll be giving it a real test tomorrow when I ride it to work and back for my first time. I didn't do it today because it's too cold outside for such a ride which is around 8 miles back and fourth (sorry I'm from the US so I know my measurement system here is Doo doo)
Hey Chris. Great vid, Im so happy to see that Mercane has listened to the feedback and finally released this uprgaded model.
As far as I understood the 2019 throttle meant to improve the jerkiness of the previous model. Since this throttle closely resembles 2018 version Im wondering if using the scooter at lower speeds (below 10km/h) would still be possible? Thanks
Hi Skateskate - thanks for your comment :-). The throttle itself is the same throttle used on the 2018, but the jerkiness/control is the same as the 2019 model unfortunately. This makes it really hard to drive slowly (below 10km/h) - you'll just need to be gentle and used to it, but then again the Mercane wasn't made for slow speed unfortunately. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to disable a motor on the dual version?
Is the rear brake on the right? and the front brake on the left?
Question again, will it be possible to get the brake kit for the 2018 modell?
Hannes K. Hi there! The brake kit requires you changing the whole front suspension arm, tire and cable - this is a lot of work/will cost you at least $200. But yes, it is possible, just won’t be an easy/cheap change :-) (that’s our honest answer)
@@ApolloScooters thank you, its important to know for me...
What's the difference between your widewheel pro and the one from fluidfree ride?
Hi Chris, great upload. Thanks.
I'm based in the UK. Any advise on how I can buy the widewheel this kneck of the woods?
Hi Madanjit - thanks for reaching out! Send us an email at info@apollomvmt.com and I'll guide you the right way with your options :-). Cheers, Chris
@@ApolloScooters The mercane 2020 wide wheel scooter how many climbing grades it can do 15 degrees or more
Sorry if you have adressed this in another video but what would you say are main pros and cons of this fat wheels vs the typical wheel of other scooters? Great review btw, of course!
I notice that both of you were able to ride the scooter!
I JUST bought it, but I want to ride the scooter with my brother also, we are a combined weight of 290LBS.
Do you think it will still work?
hello , the black version pro , is 2 x 500 w or 2 x 1000 w ? and the max speed pls ? 70 km/h ? thx . great vidéo :)
2 x 500
45km/h
Is there any news on when this scooter will become available in the US? I am dying to get one but it's only available in Canada right now. >.
Hi Elof - thanks for reaching out! Message us at info@apollomvmt.com and we'll put you in contact with the place to get this for you :-)!
Very nice scooter. Roughly how many miles/km are the the tires expected to last?
Hi Book Mark - the tires all depend on how you use the scooter (if you drift and really heavily use the brakes, the lifetime distance will depend). Overall, every 16 months is sufficient (based on what our customers tell us). :-)
Hi, here in my country we are used to have left lever for front brake and right lever for rear brake. Is it possible to swap them? Thanks
Hey Jan - thanks for reaching out! Yes there is a way to switch them out, but it does get quite complex. We recommend reaching out to you dealer/supplier of your Mercane to help out with this - or look at our throttle installation video (it'll be very similar to this).
Thanks :-)
@@apolloscooters9429 Thanks, I'll check it out :-)
Hey guys when are you coming out with the ludacris mode tutorial
Hey - the video is done and just getting editing! Should be up by Friday or early next week. Just send us a message at info@apollomvmt.com and I can send over the instructions for you :-).
@@ApolloScooters cheers guys i did email you looking forward t o some crazt speeds
@@maxchang9920 just wanted to let you know that we unfortunately lost our footage from the speed unlocking video, but did post the process on our blog:
apollomvmt.com/blogs/news/adjusting-settings-for-mercane-widewheel-pro
What visual ques determine the 2019 to the 2020?
Visually, they're quite similar - the easiest way to tell the difference is by looking for the LED display. Secondly, the 2020 model has the additional front brake. Lastly, the 2020 model has a re-designed stem and fork which look sturdier in comparison to the 2019 model.
How’d you get 50 KMH?
I was thinking of buying one but tyres are solid
Problem with the drive is going over bumps etc is slows then speeds on and off like a switch it wont keep going at the same speed
I'm also curious, can the 2019 throttle be installed on the 2020 model? Would y'all recommend that, or is the current throttle sufficient?
Hi Kel, it's a slightly different connection so it won't be as simple as unplugging the old one, and plugging in the new one. The throttle is quite jerky - if you're an experienced rider it won't be an issue, however if you're new to Mercane scooters, it's not the most intuitive. We are working on a better throttle available as an upgrade, check out website next week for more info.
Hi, I'd be interested in the upgraded throttle as I have used my 2020 pro for a while and the throttle is very jerky. It almost seems like it is either on or off.
@@MrScottwindram Would it detour you from buying another WideWheel, or do the benefits outweigh the issues with throttle? I'm strongly considering getting one.
@@kellen1618 The scooter is great and I would still buy one but it's hard to control at low speeds. I use it on a path with people walking and I have to slow down around them and with the jerkyness in the throttle it makes it very hard. I'm hoping that there is some sort of fix for this.
@@MrScottwindram Hey Scott and Kel, we've managed to find a fix for the cheap 2020 throttle! We now offer an upgraded throttle with a much larger turning radius, allowing you to control your Mercane's speed at 10% ,30% ,50% ,70% ,100%. While the old throttle was more like 10%, 50%, 80%. We offer this part and installation - do reach out to us at info@apollomvmt.com for more info :-).
Just a heads up but.....
It was 2018 that there were problems with the alloy parts snapping, ie, the front fork arm holder and main stem, also the poor quality throttle. The 2019 improved the alloy they used and the method also to shape it much better, a key throttle and main stem was re-done with the hole on the side making it more sturdier. I think you may need to put a pop up in your video to clear those facts up :)
Hi @FpvPete! Thanks for reaching out :-). Yes, completely agree that the 2019 was an improved 2018 frame structure, but the 2020 is even strongly reinforced than the 2019 - you see a huge difference in the stem and fork on the 2020 vs the 2019. As suppliers, we still had a few cases of breaking parts on the 2019 (not even close to as many on the 2018) - but with the 2020 frame improvement, quite confident that nobody will face the snapping issue. But you're completely right, the 2019 was a big improvement - but again to put it in perspective, the 2020 is even more reinforced :-).
52v ? 48v?
Quick question where is the key lock? Also is the LED display available as an upgrade?
The key lock will be available in the final version of the product (this early production model did not have it), it will be attached to the stem at the base of the LED display.
For the LED display upgrade, are you asking whether it's available as an upgrade for the 2019 model?
@@ApolloScooters that's good to know thank you. As far as the LED display yes I was wondering if it would be available for the 2019 model? Thanks appreciate it.
@@lesterg3330 Hey Lester - our pleasure. Regarding the LCD display, yes this upgrade is possible, you'll have to however change the control board too in the process. Do reach out to us at info@apollomvmt.com and we can give you the quote + additional info on this :-).
@@ApolloScooters does this mean there's a possibility the 2018 throttle assembly on this was just because it's a prototype and the final 2020 model might have a better throttle? Any pictures of the final model?
@@cycaboose Hey Cy! Unfortunately the final model has the same throttle (we confirmed this with Mercane). The final model is the exact same as in the video, just an additional key below the LCD :-). Send us an email at info@apollomvmt.com and I'll send you the final photos if you'd like! Thanks,
Chris
what happened to the 1600 Watt reports on ebay??? 1600 Watt with 15.8 ah was reported...??? why has this not happened???
Power is nuts but it's not the smoothest ride. Definitively fun for for the streets
Can this model be used on '' rough '' sand beaches ?
Hi Luce, it's tough to say exactly - the Widewheel can probably handle sand well, but it's not designed for it. For one the wheels are relatively small 6-7 inches tall and the tires don't have much grip. You might be better off going for something like the Zero 10 or 10X.
@@ApolloScootersThank you so much !! And Merry Xmas 🔆
is there a mercane wide wheel pro hack video?
We will be posting a video that shows how to change modes and unlock ludicrous mode next week :)
@@ApolloScooters is this hack video coming out?

Great review! Does this or the Boosted Rev have quicker acceleration? Thanks
Thanks Dan! The acceleration is very very similar for both, we did a speed test and they were on par for the first 5/6 seconds.
Waited for so long, when could europeans (germany) get an order trough you ?
Hi Beefy - thanks for reaching out! We ship ours out mid-January, there will be duties and shipping to pay, but we can easily send them out to you! Just message us at info@apollomvmt.com if you'd like more info :-). Thanks!
@@ApolloScooters Wow really glad to hear back from you so fast!! This will be my first escooter ever and iam so exieted.
@@anonymanonymous2167 they give really good service so you'll basically be all set. :3
How wide is the wheels? In inches?
Hi Trung! The size of the tire is 8" x 3.9" :-) Here to help if you need anything else!
What’s your price for it and where are you located in Canada??
Hi there - price is $1,499 + taxes and we're located in Montreal. We ship Canada Wide free of charge and offer 12 month warranty on all scooters :-). Here to help if you need anything else, always happy to help!
Apollo Scooters fantastic, I am seriously considering the wide wheel pro to purchase sometime in the coming weeks for when things warm up. Do you know if there is any way to test drive one somewhere in the Toronto area?
@@JustDsin Thats amazing news - of course, we can happily put you in touch with a customer who can let you try the scooter if you'd like! Would you be free this weekend for a test drive? Let us know :-)
@@ApolloScooters oh my goodness sorry for the delayed response. Yes, this upcoming weekend would work great, I am in Waterloo if you have any customers in this area. Thank you so much for the consideration and assistance.
@@JustDsin Hey D, unfortunately we were in Toronto only last weekend :-(. However, all orders come with a 2 week return period if ever you're not satisfied with the scooter? (return shipping is at the cost of the customer, just a heads up). Feel free to call us on the 833-640-0090 if you need anything else, happy to chat :-)!
What maximum speed does it reach?
You're looking at 40-45km/h (25-28mph) max speed depending the riding conditions (weight, hills, temperature).
Just bought the 20 20 .....omg...... Buy it but it now....
How much price is each of them in euro ?
Hi there, Euro would be roughly 1,100 + shipping and duties! Please contact us at info@apollomvmt.com for a full quote :-). Thanks!

I feel bad for anyone who purchased the 2019. Sounds like A Disaster. I'm looking at the Segway Nanbot Max 10" wheels. Nice review.
*Ninebot Max
I weigh 65kg and I’m only getting 40kph top speed, also distance is about 20ks and I’m down to 1 bar
Hi Jom! Where did you purchase your Pro? They technically haven't been released yet, unless you got it off Aliexpress? (which may be fake/not authentic). I recommend opening you Mercane battery case and seeing what the correct aH is (we've seen some being sold off AliExpress coming with 10aH or 13aH batteries, instead of the original 15aH battery).
Just opened and it says 48v 15ah. I got it from widewheels australia the week before christmas. It seemed like the real deal since it's coming from an official distributor here in au. They also added new foam paddings underneath the battery. How far can you guys go?
Also, top speed im getting is 43 sometimes 45. Just a correction
My mercane 2019 (new) I've had for just one week and it delevoped a problem where it cuts out both motors in high power mode and cruise control is now always active. Has anyone else had this problem with the mercane 2019 model? Is there a fix?
Hi Andrew - here to try and help:
- Cruise Control: Hold the middle button only for 1.5s, when dashboard is flashing pull the left brake and accelerate once (you should see the last light go away - this means cruise control is off). That's how to activate/disactivate cruise control.
- For the motor cutting at high powers, are you sure the front motor cable is well installed? This can be due to this.
Let us now how that works! Thanks, Chris
Great review mate and I agree with you to a point. I have 4 2019 1000w and the new Pro. I also do reviews on CZcams so this is my findings. They both reach the same speed, Mercane says they have re-enforced the alloy but that’s bullshit! It’s still the same. All they have really done is sell a new style with the same product from 2019! The price on the new WW Pro here in Australia, you can buy a way better scooter like the falcon X10 or the new D-thunder which is way better product. Great upfront review mate but do a full review in 2 months of riding this WW day in day out and see what happens. Hill tests, terrain test, gutter jumps and people that weigh in at 100kg. I will follow your channel
Good luck
Hey Alek - thanks very much for your kind comment and feedback! Speed wise, agreed - but when looking at the frame, they've definitely re-enforced it (we remove both stems and compared the thickness of the material) + the mechanism they use has more support (crucial as the front brake adds much more forward pressure). It's really a love or a hate relationship with Mercane scooters and depends on your needs - personally its one of our best sellers and if you love that need for speed/stability of the fat wheels, its incredible. The turning radius and foam tires are a little bit of a turn off, but again depends on what you're looking for!
We'll be releasing hill tests, brake test, range tests and all other videos soon - will look forward to your feedback on those too :-). Thanks again Alek!
@@ApolloScooters true they did improve the stem and electric scooter guide confirmed it, but what is not true is that range is better with the bigger battery. Range is the same, within half a km difference, the bigger battery just makes up for the additional weight and speed. For me however the weight is the dealbreaker. I went with the Boosted red which is even a bit heavier than what I can stand and I don't mind the shorter range since I have other single motor lighter scooter with a much better range if needed. Also the Rev is amazing under heavy rain, thanks to its large pneumatic tires and powerful electronic brake that does not skid contrary to the disk brake...
@@_Digitalguy Agreed - the Rev unfortunately is missing suspension, still can't believe they designed such a beautiful scooter, and didn't add one of the key components to it - the reason we wouldn't pay such a premium price for it! Hoping that they'll release a new version with the suspension soon :-)!
Apollo Scooters sure, suspension are a big miss on the Rev, but not a deal breaker... They would be a deal breaker on the mercane, at any price at that speed and with solid tires. But the pneumatic tires do a decent job in city streets.... And the Rev is much safer under rain than the Mercane or any solid tire scooter (and it’s truly waterproof). Having said that if they manage to add suspensions without increasing the weight by more that 1kg I’d buy a second rev again.
Is it possible to limit the speed to 25km/h?
Hi BisseonJees, yes it is possible to limit it to 25km/h on Eco mode (may be a little more, 30km/h), but it is possible to limit the speed very easily :-).
Speed unlocking video was promised 1 week ago !!!
