I hate the word "cheap", but it's often the word mostly used to search for the most affordable electric scooters on the market. So today, I put two serious cost-worthy contenders head-to-head in this search for the ULTIMATE affordable e scooter.

Hills!!! No mention of performance going up hills. It's the most important thing for many people.
😂😂😂 you crack me up 😂😂😂.
Keep up the good reviews 👍
Ps the Riley was more comfortable because the tyres were as flat as a jaywalking hedgehog.
Thanks for reviewing these.
I'd started looking at getting an e-scooter for occasional use yesterday and came across your videos.
I've seen the techtron elite 3500 on offer so got it for £221 (all inc) last night which I think it's a very affordable price for someone looking for an entry e-scooter. Can't wait to try it on Monday 🎉
i have 2 things i look in an E scooter 1. range, 2. puncture proof tyres
Rich, i bought the utterly cheapest aliexpress m365 clone for $129 w coupon, and i am so far quite pleased
Great video - thank you. I'm not in the market for a scooter, but after watching this....I WANT ONE 😍🥰 A++++
I own the Hover 1 series pro boss r500 and I love everything about it including the how long the battery lasts on S mode
I'm not convinced it's a good idea to have the battery in the down tube. My scooter has the battery in the bed and I've never once felt like I was going to tip forward. Having the battery high and at the front of the scooter must make it feel unstable and more prone to tipping forward.
I subbed even though I'm in the USA. I love watching the reviews you guys put out, so I had to sub! Good luck to whoever wins the scooter!!! CHEERS!!!
PS: the scooter's rear tire was nearly flat, and needed air. That's why it moved like a slug.
He's a journo, he's allowed to be thick.
Atm I'm considering a ienyrid m4 pro £550 however I'm not pulling the trigger on purchasing until they become legal and legislation is introduced
Hello any discount codes for these two wonderful scooters? Still in the middle and will choose one based on price as they both look good. I like the puncture proof wheels and techron and the removable battery of the Rival so it's easy to charge at work. Great reviews ❤
any range tests done on the elite 8500 yet?
Im looking ar the isinwheel/circooter models or the iscooters have ylu any reviews or information i need to know?
Excellent video as always just little favour could you try out a Lehe K1 scooter I know it’s a seat on scooter I own two of these and I think they are great I’ve had the manufacturer add on a crank and chain and pedals
At the moment I’m getting away with it though the police have seen me many times
Also H&O D50 a much larger scooter restricted speed unfortunately but very comfortable ride considering it’s without suspension I do hope the government get there act together so we can enjoy riding any escooter thanks for all your information Brilliant
I just brought the Riley rs1 v2 and I am struggling to fold it up. The lever won't budge at all
Yes I had the techtron ultra 5000 a great bit of kit but I prefer a scooter with solid tyres so I'm not looking at the techtron elite great video as always guys
The Riley RS1 is a great option in that price bracket. The more time I've spent with it, the more I think it's the best affordable scooter on the market
@@Electroheads good evening electro heads the only reason I sold my techtron ultra as I nearly fell down the stairs where I live now looking for something a bit lighter also the tyres are difficult to replace on it will look in to the Riley rs1 thanks again for the reply
Come on UK Government, make eScooters legal to use! 🛴 🇬🇧
I haven't looked at the UK laws regarding e-scooters, as they were not a thing years ago when I lived there, but you can ride them on public roads as long as you get the most basic driver's license (CBT?) and register the scooter and put a license plate on it and go through MOT and get insurance, right...? Just like with a petrol scooter you would...?
@@Laurynas_LTU you can't get a MOT on an electric scooter my friend
@@Laurynas_LTU E-scooters are not classified as a vehicle in the UK so you can't register them. This means you can't insure them and they have no clue how to regulate if they are "road worthy"
The government are slowly and i mean slowly trying to think of "safety rules" most people consider this to be code for "generate money rules"
The only ones you can use in the UK legally have to be rented from licensed company's and used in specific areas by people over 18 with full driving licenses. The stupid thing is you can get a E-bike and ride it pretty much everywhere (as long as it has pedals) with no license, insurance, registration or age restriction.
Yep it's been 9 months already. I'm on the verge of making a purchase, just hoping 500w is going to be deemed roadworthy when the law changes are in.
They are too busy on trying to stop immigration and their own mess if Brexit.
Aovo pro es80, under 250quid. Good value for money. Bluetooth, solids, 19mph, front n back lights, brilliant for work. Would recommend.
Agreed i had one they are very good. I hit 22mph on mine
Could you please tell me what the real world range is Cheers
At 19mph everywhere about 10mls. Truthfully you don't want to bother with eco it's walking pace at 4mph. Middle speed 11mph. Range increased to 15mls ish. Mine does a round trip of 3mls 3 mornings that leaves about 25-30% battery for a 4th trip but I always charge it up at those levels.
Cheers mate much appreciated 👍
How do they Compare with the Xiaomi 1S?
Could u tell me about the Apatchi 500
Please how can I get one to Nigeria I can't find any over here please help
I literally found this video because I searched "best cheap electric scooter" 😂 cheap fits for scooters because they are by nature so expensive right now
I live in Denmark, where the speed limit for electric scooters are 20 km/h. Is it possible to set the max speed for 20 km/h from the manufactor ?? Either with some software, or engine mechanics ??
look to buy from your country so it already got the speed limiter on on 20km/h. here in us is 25.
If you buy from another country, you can download the app for said scooter and set a max speed etc.
Hilarious! And great review.
Nice video. I'll only consider buying a cheaper electric scooter if it goes faster than or I can make it go faster than the standard 15mph by updating firmware or whatever.
I'd prefer to buy an Aovo pro 365 which hits 20mph+ or a 2nd hand Xiaomi m365 pro than one of these new ones because i can change the firmware to get 20mph
Check out the E-Dash LE1 on the Electroheads.com site - it goes 20mph as standard and has a similar design to the Riley RS1 (but with longer range).
@@Electroheadshi I bought the e dash and it only goes 15.5 per hour instead of the advertised 20 how can I fix this please can't find anything in the manual or any where online it's beginning to get annoying
I have the old model RS1/Decent One and I'm not getting the range out of the battery, not even going that far each day(about 4 miles round trip) and I have to charge it twice. I'm not even that heavy so battery fault maybe?
I weigh 16st and get about 4 miles out of my RS1 at 15mph.
@karl kilding Thanks for the info. Makes my choosing easier as theres so many out there!
What is the point of continuing to sell them in the UK until they are legal to use on public roads? At least in cycle lanes.
Great video, its just a shame people still can only use them on private land, lest they break many laws.
Comfortable ride but your voice tells a different story😂
What’s better e dash le1 or Techtron elite 3000
Riley RS2 or maybe NIU KQi2 Pro? 🙂
I'd love to buy from you, if anything in your shop was in stock
Decent looking hopefully it last long n easy to scoo away.
what’s the difference between the pro and elite
350w and 500w
The platform on the Elite is a bit bigger and suspension a bit better. I have BOTH of these models, so speak from experience and naturally prefer the Elite.
I've had a Techtron 5000 on order for ages now. Desperate to get my hands on it. Its your fault Rich as you spoke so highly of it that i won't buy an alternative that's available now. At Silverstone atvthe moment watching people zipping all over on them
Police compound near my home is full of hundreds of escooters been seized from riders never to be returned to owners who belive they can lawfully ride them on public foot paths and roads. Few people have acsess to large plots of private land to ride these, leaglely.
Have you been in a chip shop lately.
The problem with these reviews is that scooters are not road legal and anyone using one on a public road faces a driving without insurance charge, points on their licence and a hefty fine. I’ve seen more and more being ridden by children, without helmets being driven on pavements and roads sometimes dangerously.
"A moped that has pedals".... as in a moped.
I want inexpensive, not cheat !
GOT...nothing's bigger than GOT🤨😂
Nothing beats air
Still not legal in the UK so what's the point in buying ome just so some police officer can confiscate it 🤷🏻
lol sorry but the solid honeycomb tire are not comfortable in any way even with that trash suspension.
Safety, Reliability and Stopping Power - my 3 criteria. IF you want range, it'll be HEAVY (and more expensive) - it's all about compromise (the aforementioned portability v range for instance, so ask yourself what exactly do you need/want it for?). Now; 15:40 - "Would you want to p*ss off a channel that has 100,000 subscribers?....." - Ailish said something similar recently - I gotta say, that comes across as a tad arrogant/cocky, which, like pride, "cometh before the proverbial fall" - 100,000 subscribers could easily unsubscribe, simply because not many of us take too well to arrogant/cocky! Just sayin' (good review though).
⚡⚡⚡
Decent one scooters are a waste of time
I have two decent one Max
They are the most gutless lowest range scooter you can lay your hands on 😢
that's too fast slowit down
This video is 15 minutes tooooooo long.
Why you talking so much? 🤔
I appreciate his self-awareness regarding his likability, and always acknowledging it in his videos. It not only preempts his haters’ comments, but probably also takes the fun out of trolling him.
Well-played! 👍 ♟️ 😂
