- When asked if I wanted to review this scooter, was a little unsure exactly what is is! But after some fun riding it, the P1 from Caroma is a nice little electric vehicle. It has dual disc brakes, full suspension, nice LCD controller, and even has a basket! Let's check it out:
For more information on this scooter (and the E22 Pro), here's the Amazon listing, where it's currently listed at $299 (this is a link provided by Caroma to track clicks, and I am not currently an Amazon affiliate):

My husband bought me today for Mother’s Day🥰
How fun! Happy Mother’s Day…because every day should be Mother’s Day ☺️
Looks like it’d be fun 🎉 Great review ❤️
Thank you for watching! 💯
I already own a razor ecosmart scooter myself
Wow I hadn't gotten a video from you in ages and Im subbed! Im going to keep an eye on it this time. I like the scooter but Im not sure if I would like riding one. Good video! 👍
Thank you! Yea, CZcams algorithms are whacked out lately. Appreciate your support!
Mann,I really hope they get this in the UK.. need an upgrade on my mobility scooter.. been a fan since the pulse rda days Tony.. just about every Tony B product… and yes because of you… frosted Dot+mission xv and some sweet staxx panels 😎
You’ve got a good eye for what people want, at a price we all can pay.. hats off to you bro 👊
Keep the content and the products flowing man. You are making the difference
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate that. That Dot setup sounds sweet! Thank you for watching 💯
Great informative vid here. I just got one for my wife. I just wondered why the default voltage grade selector is 36v when they say it has a 48v battery. Does it extend battery life setting it like that. I'm really impressed with it and might get one too.
I would think that’s why they did that. Battery / range is sorta key. Glad she’s enjoying it, and thank you for watching 💯
I like it. I'll get two. Good video thanks 👍
Awesome! Thank you for watching.
Did you get them?
Is it feasible to carry an extra battery with you to double range? Is the battery easy and quick to change in such a situation?
Nope, definitely not with this one. It’s built into the deck and would require partial disassembly to swap. That’s something I predict that makers of this type of PEV will end up doing if the genre catches on. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
Good video, thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I’m a 50 year old woman with a larger property and this looks fun to me to have together get around my place!
Yup, it would be perfect for that! Thank you for watching!
I’m a single man.
@@double_d_8885 😂 Lookin for love. You go on!
If you get it may you make a video :)
How do you turn the lights on this ? I can’t figure it out
Just ordered this. I lost my license due to a DUI so this will be my new ride. So excited to get it! In 5’3 and 130lbs so I hope it fits me well! Also how did it do on hills for you? A no go?
So sorry to hear you lost your license! This should serve you pretty well. At 130lbs, hills will be decent for you. Super steep hills will slow it down quite a bit, but at 195lbs it still gets me up hills. Slows quite a bit at the top of them, but gets me where I’m going. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
@@VaporTrailChannelThank you! I appreciate that a lot. It just came in the mail and I got it together. My only issue is the handles. They are loose and I don’t feel good riding it if that’s how it’s made also has no insurrections on how to tighten them. The one on their CZcams is very quick and not specific and I can’t figure it out. Do you know how?
Also to add on to this, my front tire had a little wobble too it. I wonder if I can fix this on my own at home without returning it. I’m pretty good at fixing things as a woman, just not sure how to.
Thank you for a cool review: I’m nearly 6ft how tall are you do you think it will be fine for a taller person?
I’m 5’6”, so maybe that will give you some perspective. If you’re on the heavy side, that will factor in for the speed and hill climbing. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
It's a fun little scooter.. I'm liking mine more and more as I ride It.. I have the p1 in blue / silver.
Nice! Yea, it’s pretty versatile. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
Also do you have any idea how to turn the don’t light on? Mine doesn’t turn on at night
Since you have a few questions, I actually contacted their service people to get up with you to help you sort through your issues. They said they would come here to the comments to reach out to you. Mine is currently in my storage, and I can't really remember everything without it being in front of me 🙂 Thank you so much!
Im 5’6 bt idk if may seat to low fr me & battery
Time last? Thnx
We are about the same height and battery range will differ depending on terrain (hills, etc) and whether you have a lot of wind. Sort of a “your mileage may vary” type of thing, so it’s hard to predict your actual range. Similar to others in its class. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
I tried a similar design to this, was genuinely astonished at how bad it was at climbing hills with its 500w motor 10ah battery and my 85kg self, like struggling on 15% hills to the point I had to push.
This is why we have smaller wheels and dual motors on escooters! It was frustrating as it ticked every other box. Strictly for flat ground, not hills...
Yea, I feel ya there! Heck, my eskates have more power than these do. But it does a respectable job and is pretty well appointed with features. And…under $300. Thank you for watching!
I need one with all these accesories, but must be able to handle lots of hills! Suggestions?
Definitely interesting and for what it is the price is fair imo.
Exactly! Thank you for watching!
This little Booter lol looks pretty nice and would be great around my little town, maybe one day if the docs can fix my eyes.
lol 😂 yup, it’s the Booter. Thank you for watching!
Avastin shots helped me try that
@@lamar3697 i was born legally blind, my eyes would just shrug that off like a nat at a bbq
⚡️🤟🏽🤟🏽⚡️
*Great price!*
Thank you for watching!
Use some alcoho, and clean all oil and grease off the disc.
Shipping from Amazon $160.
The shipping fee is $160? If so, wow. But these aren’t lightweight, so that is about how much they cost to ship. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
So in the end you're paying five hundred dollars total for this product? That's so not worth it.
@@VaporTrailChannel
Ordered mine yesterday for a cost of three hundred 88 dollars plus shipping and the total cost came out to around four hundred 18 dollars which is not too bad.
My order should arrive within the next week or two according to my Amazon account.
Feels real fast like you on a bike pedal
Faster than most scooters, for sure. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
LOL, 19MPH down hill with a tail wind! I couldn't find this particular scooter on Amazon (I did find loads of Caroma scooters on Amazon, none for less than $430.00)
More like a head wind 😂 It’s not meant to be a speed demon. I think they had complaints that there wasn’t free shipping, so they raised the price to reflect shipping cost, then made it free shipping. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
@VaporTrailChannel free shipping is ONLY available to prime members.
I just looked today on Amazon and this scooter is selling for four hundred and 22 dollars plus shipping.
I added it to my shopping list on my account although even at 50 years of age a certain family member strongly objects to me purchasing so much as one more vehicle via Amazon since I already own a razor pocket mod, razor ecosmart metro, razor DXT drift trike ( non electric version) a drift cart and bicycle...I'm somewhat satisfied with the ecosmart metro scooter but it's limited range leaves a lot to be desired. ..probably due to it's use of sealed lead acid batteries as opposed to the more volatile lithium ion batteries.
It's not really $300, they are charging another $179 shipping on top, so $479. The GoTrax Flex is $399 with free shipping.
At the time of production for this video, that wasn’t the case. I appreciate you providing the information. I can only tell you what I think of this one as I haven’t tested the Gotrax. I looked it up and it looks quite similar, so if that’s a better fit, and you can get free shipping, go for it! There are a few differences, that might matter to some. This has dual disc brakes (flex is only back / electric brake), the Y handlebars…which may be more stable…I’m not sure as I haven’t ridden the Flex, the basket appears to be bigger, has fenders front and back, and it also has front AND back suspension. The shocks on this look better than the Flex as well, as they’re sealed shocks. It all comes down to what you, the consumer values. I tend to do a spec comparison before I make a buying choice. The extra $79 you pay in shipping, in the end over the Flex option, may make up for the things the Flex doesn’t have. Or not. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
For $300 that’s pretty good
Right? Thank you for watching
So I dont mind that your link is an affiliate link, you really should get paid for doing honest work. You said it wasnt an affiliate link though, and it very clearly is. Is that the only thing you lied about? How am I to trust your review now?
It’s definitely not an Amazon affiliate link. I actually joined their program about a year and a half ago, and blew it. I didn’t know that you couldn’t promote links on your Facebook, etc. So, they banned me. So, I am not an affiliate. I do shorten the links using bit.LY, because I like to track how many clicks the links get. That’s all part of the game, as you need to, have metrics to be able to show companies when they ask you for them in order to get product to do reviews. If a link is an affiliate link, I do say so. And that usually comes directly from the company that has sent the product. Take it as you will, but I don’t appreciate being called a liar when the accuser doesn’t have the facts. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻
I actually had to go back and look at this one, because this company asked me to use the link that they sent. Apparently it’s their method of tracking it. But if you look at the rest of mine, it is using bit.ly I can see where you would’ve thought that though, in looking at the link. I’m sure there’s a way to find out if I am an Amazon affiliate, if you feel like looking that far into it, but I assure you, I am not an Amazon affiliate. Due to my own mistake with them.
@@VaporTrailChannel Its not tracking, and maybe its not your affiliate link, but I know Amazon affiliate links and it is 100% someones affiliate link! It has a tag, not just a tracker.
@@jon9947 I see. Well, that might be true then. When one of these companies asks me to use their link, I'm fine with that. So I just didn't care either way. So yea, when I say I'm not an affiliate, I mean it. Heck, I wish I was, because I could at least make some beer money 😛 But as it is, I can't. I often do when it's something direct through a manufacturer website, and I will say something like "if you use this link, it doesn't cost you any extra, but I make a few dollars to help support the channel". Yea, sorry if I came at ya a little hard initially. I do my best to operate with integrity. If it is an Amazon affiliate link, it may be the rep who I emailed with who is the affiliate. She told me that she wanted to use it to track the activity. I don't question a whole lot, because I expect the same integrity from manufacturers. This link didn't look like the typical Amazon affiliate link, because it has that linkgeni thing, so I had no idea. I'm going to look into that, and if it is, I'll change the link. Thank you for informing me.
@@VaporTrailChannelwhen I looked it up on Amazon your video was on there.
Amazon pays product reviewers in exchange for giving the product ( regardless of whatever product it is) a good rating in order to trick gullible consumers into purchasing said product.
Also sites such as Amazon frequently have their own employees write product reviews for the site to help drive up product sales.
You can place what little is left of your masculinity in the little basket 😂
Looks fun though
😂😂😂 Can’t fit my guitar or amp, that’s for sure. Thanks buddy
Is this meant to be funny or rude? Lol
@@Anangelfromabovelol 😂 I know Ritchie, so…funny
@@VaporTrailChannel hahahaha
