- Is it really worth dropping five times as much on an e-scooter? Or do you just look like a bit of an idiot? We sent Jack and Hazel to find out. (We answered the second question, at least)

*The **Latest.Bike** Scooter was everything I imagined. I’m 6ft4 200 lbs and it cruises perfectly… worth every penny!!! Thanks Gotrax!!!*
Omg why is she wearing the helmet like that
I can't believe she can't even put a helmet on properly, let alone ride a scooter properly.
It’s the wrong sized helmet 🤦 Considering it’s a channel on Electric mobility and all the ‘negative’ press around at present, you’d think you’d kit her out in appropriate headwear
Shes not even riding the scooter properly, having your feet beside each other is pretty bad if you crash. Plus it looks awkward.
@@ryanfuller4401 yes I was gonna say that.. ur better one feet front and one back ... How does she not know this and she dares wear that hoodie ... She clearly doesn't know what a break is let alone balance ... So awkward
@@ryanfuller4401 makes it easier to throw arms up and pull into a full gainer in the event of crash
You wait, these people are advocating illegal use on UK roads, just watch as a bunch of untrained, uncaring morons, high on something or drunk start careering around on pavements or roads killing people and riding off to avoid the law. The future awaits? Hope your child/grandmother are not injured or killed- or that you don't kill or injure someone..
i loved that intro mate. simple, effective, and such a flex with ur boosted board.
Love the idea of something with a bit of speed and agility to it. Not sure I love the price though...
Yeah, just wait until the scooter RTA deaths reach astronomical numbers.
Its worth it
@@davidtanslow3584 no worse than cycling
@@jamieniche Not really, small tyres mean its way easier to get thrown off over bumps and cracks, higher speed than cycling and its easier to keep driving quickly than on a bike.
it deserves 700 dollars after tax
Great video guys. Really good. Yeah, I think the single biggest black mark against the Xiaomi is the lack of suspension. It does compromise control, and therefore safety, however it's still a brilliant and simple little last mile solution for a work day commuter, particularly with some mods to that fragile rear guard. I love how quickly it folds down. Did have the Xiaomi, but currently have a Vsett which is very similar to Zero, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
When it gets stolen by a criminal or the police I would rather lose £300 than £1500
OMG this has been the best fun video I've watched on my research for a scooter.. Thanks heaps guys..
I already know that I don't want a commuter scooter as I live out in a rural/seaside setting.
i love that intro mate simple effective and such afix with ur boosted board.
Only video in which I have ever looked short
I bought an AovoPro m365 for 250 bucks new, no taxes or shipping. It’s my commuter to work and school, then I have my upgraded Coleman ct200u ex for weekend and free time fun, it goes 50mph and sure it’s illegal but who’s gonna stop me😂 together I paid under 1500 bucks and I couldn’t be happier!
You see that little fin at the back of the 10x, that's not a mudguard it's a foot support so you have something to press against while the 10x is trying to throw you off. I have both of these scooters and they are both excellent, the 10x is in a class of it's own
Yes i hear good things about that one i have a Kugoo G-Booster it would be a good race that thing is insane 0-30mph aswell 🤣
$2,337 ? Yeah naw I rather save that money for like u know rent and food and bills 😂 ... I'm looking for something along of $1K
@@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233 yeah they're not what you call cheap.
What is the best budget Scooter with suspension in UK at the moment, and is there a shop I can get one
He literally has the scooter the girl was riding in the first scene in The Movie BOLT
The difference is one of them is more likely to get you stopped by police
And six points on your licence.
I would get a more expensive scooter if the laws here in Sweden allowed it. As of writing, the limit is 20km/h and 250kWh, and is classified as a bike. If it goes above that, it is classified as "something else" and is illegal
damn, thats low. :( In Austria it's 25 kmh / 600W, which is reasonable imho.
Gotta love America
So much damn regulation lol. Do they actually check
@Tomass Wolf nah, as long as you don't ride like an idiot, you're fine.
“I don’t have a hugely successful record with electric vehicles” says Hazel that’s wears a helmet on the back of her head. 🤯 Hmmm
Hazel is definitely a warning and not an example
Trochę miej pod sufitem
Yeah, was about to comment on that too. It was completely pointless even wearing it that way!
That's my sister... She fell on the last day she got on one and no it wasn't her first time riding a scooter more like a 3rd time or 4th but it was so fun riding one though I wish it was faster cause it was pretty slow for me... I'm sure it was for secure purposes that Bird and Lime set their scooter to only 15Mph but for the thrill seekers like me... We need more power and speed cause we know the risk and don't take it as a joke
@@Electroheads IF these deathtraps are made legal there will be plenty of even more stupid people who will be riding into children and old people, maiming or killing them, but well, never mind eh it is progress?
Is it still legal to ride privately owned escooters in that location? Is that at Olympic park btw?
The problem is that despite them looking similar (a deck with two wheels and a broomstick for steering) these are completely different vehicles. The m365 is something tou take everywhere you go: to a store, on the bus, to your living room, and the 35 kugoo clone is more like a motorcycle - you park it outside on the driveway
Great video guys I currently own the aovo es max dual suspension 14.5ah battery 500watt motor extremely well built also tubeless 10 inch tyres I find the scooters with the 8.5 inch tyres very unstable especially when doing more than 15mph but great videos guys keep it up
I'm a skater i'm not worried about suspension at all🤣
Enjoy Knee arthritis pal
It will matter when you hit a bumpy path suddenly at 35MPH
Yeah even the E-skateboards have to have some sort of compliance. You can get away with a hard ride but I prefer the smooth ones :) especially with all the paths that are too crappy to ride small wheel devices on
@@andrewemroytateiii3977 if you think vibrations are the cause of that. Go back to school, pal.
I live in a downstairs or basement apartment. That's where I'll be keeping any scooter or electric mobility device I purchase so stairs are an unavoidable fact of life for me. Thus as cool as the monster scooters might be they are all impractical. Presently I'm looking at a Hiboy SR2 but hesitate due to its poor hill climbing. It has a 350W motor which is more powerful (At least I thought than my friends Swagtron EB 5 plies pro but that bike takes hills quite nicely so I'm confused. Maybe there's some difference in the hills I see the hiboys climb in reviews vs the ones I've actually witnessed climbed by the bike but regardless it makes making an informed decision difficult.
I think if I'm gonna buy an e-scooter I'm gonna buy the cheapest one that has suspensions, it just feels safer to have some sort of shock absorption.
Hazel spent the whole day defending wobbling around on the Xiaomi... And then immediately wanted a Zero 10X as soon as she discovered there was a life beyond getting yeeted by, err, gravel
Fun fact, you can buy front fork suspension kits for those electric scooters with solid front forks.
With the possibility of messing it up and losing warranty yeh
@@spamham964 Losing warranty for what? There are video guides online showing step-by-step how to install both front and rear. Besides, I've done over 1700 km in 8 months of owning m365 pro 2, installed full suspension myself at 1200 kms and nothing went bad up to now. The difference is night and day - without suspension you'll struggle to ride on anything that is not 100% even asphalt and you won't feel comfortable riding for more than an hour and a half.... with full suspension it really doesn't matter where and how long you drive.
Installing it can even prevent your battery from premature death and improve your range a bit. The only downside is that it now weighs 17,5 kg, not 14,2, and you definitely feel that .
I think with Pro 3 they should include suspension from the factory and perhaps charge a bit extra for it.
@@Electroheads 😂 she's a clutz poor thing
is a Zero 10x the same as a Hero 10x? they look identical lol
okay so ...
Cheaper scooter, you carry it around.
Expensive scooter, it carries you around.
Got it!
I would like to see some plasic side protecters that can be secured in some way
You can buy a decent used 125 motorcycle or motor scooter for that price .None of them electric scooters are worth more than around 200 quid tops they probably knock them out by the container load in China for less than a tenner a piece .
True, used market is great never buy new
i want to buy one for university next year
Kind of applicable: I had a Zero 10X for a while, wasn't my thing, I sold it, got a 365 pro, and I'm much happier with it.
The 10X is so high, looks like you're on stilts. The 'Tesla' acceleration combined with the flexible handlebar stem and extremely weak folding mechanism were my least favorite. In my country (Belgium) electric scooters are allowed to do no more than 25km/h so that was also a concern. The 365 has a lot less range though, if you ride at the same speed.
I do deliveroo with kaabo wolf king gt even if in my country the speed limit is 25 km/h too.
@@TenLonXu using my Vsett 9+ all day too
How did she manage to wear the helmet wrong?
If your riding to and from work and only 5km each direction just get the cheaper one. The ninebot max is the best "cheap" scooter atm. Cheap, long range, good for hills and fast enough
I use one (just started) and for just one or two km to work and back, it's perfect. In my area they made bicycle lanes on the pavement and banned cars from parking on the pavement, so it's a very easy ride without having to go on the road. This is close to city center, not all was improved.
We also have some small streets, so on those u can ride safely, not lots of cars. On busy street I would be afraid to go into traffic, though, I'd just stick to pavement.
Dude, you're on a 10x, go up the hill, you dont have to carry it up the stairs🤣 or just use access like ramps to avoid stairs 🤣
I’m thinking about of buying the ninebot max g30
How much was your insurance on the scoter
If that girl's character was a spice it would be flour
Depends on what you really need. 35 kilos is too heavy for me. I weight 50 kilos and it would simply be too much. 24 kilos is the maximum and I really like my InMotion L9 escooter. Range is very much OK for me, I don't care about speed that much. It gives me freedom to go around without worrying about the range and that was crucial for me. For some people fun and speed are more important and I understand it. Before buying an escooter one should consider what he or she really needs.
100+KGS of you and an illegal escooter can do some amazing damage to a child or old person. So weight isn't an issue to them.
@@megapangolin1093 - In my country escooters are legal. As well as bicycles ecc.
I really don't think the price on the expensive one is worth it tbh, sure it is a bit faster and wider with suspension but it seems a lot of cash for something that is not massively different
If you ride them both, you'll see it IS massively different!
@@pvanb291 yes in speed and feeling as it has suspension etc, but still I think the price possibly could be to much
@@oddity4650 It would be like comparing a Toyota Corolla with a Porsche 911 GT3. Both are cars and have 4 wheels...
@@pvanb291 if the material is better etc then yes I understand the cost will increase, it depends what costs more than the standard e scooters
I thought these were illegal too use unless it’s private land. So you couldn’t use it too commute. 😢
That's right
unless you are in germany where they have reg plates 😂
Just ignore this article of the law, if police is intelligent, they will ignore the fact that you are running on an e-scooter.
35kg !!?? , what’s it made of lead ?. Iv got an ebike and it’s only 23kg
I got an 800 watt scooter for £450 and it is heavy to carry and scary at 28mph.
I tried it on the road, but was put off by the legality grey area, I just use it for fun now. Also the ‘pot hole’ problem is bad.
I’ve now gone for an e bike and feel safer and more street legal.
what was the scooter called sounds good and want to buy one for myself as i see at as coming in handy?
@@LiamAsimov It is called a Hitway, it is manufactured in China, and I bought mine via Amazon
@@charlesflint9048 thanks
Great video
How is that fair get the 25 or 30 mph not 15mph
Your be safer on the faster one because you won't get robbed 💯
I got the pro 2 version love it.
Love the video! ESPECIALLY the beginning! Lol
The helmet then she mentioned her safety issues 😂🤦🏽♂️
U did not enable sport mode
Perhaps get somebody who can actually ride it next time yea. Could clearly tell from the start she nervous even going at 10 mph
Buy the suspension for the Xiaomi for 70$, can do the same for the rear wheel too probably
1:06 - that is a hardcore way to wear a helmet!
I wonder why the young lady keep stepping off the scooter before it stops
i love your channel
1:59 she did not like the word knob🤣
So 300$ is cheap for u guys?
...Why did you carry those electric scooters up all the stairs as they were - when they can fold in half and be carried easier?
Is that Jack Whitehall?
Everyone is gangster untill ronnie pickling comes near u on 3 scooters.
It's pronounced "show-me" not "jeow-me"
yeah when i heard them at the start i was like 🤣🤣
The odd thing is you can buy a fully suspension escooter that will go around 20 maybe a little more for more than a grand less with lights horn seat and twin disc brakes.
The problem iv noticed with legislation is that the more expensive and faster scoots are probably not going to be allowed on public roads etc, due to the fact that they go faster than the 15.5mph limit, so the cheaper model is perhaps the best all-rounder.
Its so incredibly lame that those legislations are most likely in place only to protect bicycles. The tech has obviously evolved beyond that. So much talk about moving away from cars while also making so much effort to make every other form of transport pure shit.
@@daniel.s9038 , wish I lived in Ireland, they've got new legislation coming very soon legalising e-scoots.
Get a kugoo kirin m4 its 500 pound top speed 33 mph does 30 miles per charge only weighs 22kg and accelerates faster than most bigger e scooters has front and back suspension horn lights indicators and a key
Is it easy to put together ? And does it arrive rather quickly ?
@@xrated2k3 took a couple of weeks for mine to come takes an hour to set it up its pretty much set up in the box but you need to tighten a few screws and adjust the breaks
@@michaelaggro6708 cool, thanks bro !
Isn’t there some danger though, that even if they do legalise these things in the foreseeable, the fast one is going to at best get categorised as an electric motorbike? I think it may be overly optimistic to hope that something with a higher top speed than a moped would be legally treated more like an ebike.
Agreed. I read somewhere that its looking like 500w its gonna be the limit in the UK. So this at 2000w aint gonna fly.
Also, no one needs to go over 15mph on a scooter imo. Anything above that should be for an ebike where you have more control, bigger wheels etc.
@@tiimsmiith1130 i disagree, 19mph is the sweet spot for e-scooters
@@tiimsmiith1130to use an e-bike legally on public roads or bike paths currently it has to be limited to 16mph anyway or licensed and insured as a moped (and used on roads only). I think there is a case for moving that up to 20mph for both scooters (when legalised) and e-bikes. The use case for scooters is for small and light ones that you can take on a bus /train/tram or put inside a locker at a gym or at school or work. They are great for 'the last mile'. But there is no point in an off-road 35kg £1700 scooter - unless you can't use a bike or pedal at all for some medical reason. Just get a e-bike for the same price. It's safer and has much better range and utility.
The 365 pro has never been that low price,I paid £479 march last year that was on offer
got scammed lmfao
why she ride it with one leg
Hazel has alot of forehead sticking out from underneath that helmet, doesn't seem safe
Just bought PURE AIR with the super expensive 500w motor……won’t go up hills as claimed…..VERY PISSED OFF CUSTOMER…..I paid £150 extra for this……damn good mind to send it back
Pure (Pure Electric) really should bring out a high powered range of e-scooters for off road or all-terrain use that can exceed the 15.5 mph AND NOT AIMED AT COMMUTERS. It would be great if Pure did this. It worked compete with the likes of vsett, kaabo, apollo, dualtron etc
Why is her helmet on like that??
Falling off a 40mph escooter is also way more fun than falling off a 15mph escooter lol
That is funny guys, I have exactly those same scooters, I first bought the smaller then the bigger.
My electric scooter goes 40 miles when it got to 30 or 25 i stopped it was so fast
i just wish they where legal i would so use the x10 for work commuting

you should do a giveaway , not because i really want one just cause why not
lots of power driving through small wheels .. what could possibly GO WRONG?
Olympic park yh
I'm surprised neither of you had your scooters seized by the met police.
But why the obsession with scooters? You could get a radrunner with all the extras for that money.
One is a scooter, the other is a motor-Cycle
All illegal in uk .. I live in france legal but limited to 20kmh its fine for getting around
She wearing the helmet wrong. Stance is wrong too.
rip cameramen who was running after you 4:45 - 5:25
Well the UK government have made private electric scooters illegal on UK roads. You are allowed to only use these scooters on private land. The point I want to make is that there are now council run E-transport bikes, so does this mean that they're now going to stop people using their own bikes?. All of the scooters if they don't carry warnings on there displays, then should and if two people jump on, them, the scooter shuts itself down.
Individuals have been killed because safety is being overlooked.
Your experienced scooter rider cameraman should have given Hazel advice, twice he watched her get off the scooter without breaking to a stop, she was lucky not to karma-gutsa! That is like reaching out to touch a slow moving cannonball boucing past troops in a Napoleonic battle and losing a hand... you must use the brakes to stop a scooter and then step off. There was no real preparation for this show.
So you just proved the point do not have a scooter that is faster than a fast walk if you exit it in a emergency you don't maintain control that's because the don't have a seat if they were fitted with a folding seat it would be safer and not a greater weight
“Costs about 1500 pounds”
Uk people: oh wow that’s a lot of money
USA people (me): how tf does it weigh that much 😳
Mine costs 30 bucks and drives 25 km
No no no!.. The Xiomi M365 is not cheap. its expensive actually for a chap like me. Can’t even afford it.😂😂😂
it deserves 700 dollars after tax or 800
I can't ride one legally on the road so what's the point? My mate just got 6 points on his drivers licence, scooter seized and a 300 quid fine.
You should mention this is you e scooter reviews
Thought this was jack whitehall
I want the big boy
Like a $20,000 vs $100,000 car haha
I thought there was a maximum speed limit for hire scooters so these more powerful ones will be a target if the police start reinforcing laws. I’d rather have an ebike or moped. Saw an off-roader on an American site with 2 batteries.
In my country there is a max speed and max power limit, it's not enforced, but 200W it's a little too low. I think power shouldn't be limited, only top speed, because with 200W you won't be able to go uphill.
Nice video guys. You talked as though the Zero 10X is at the top of scooter power, speed etc. It's really in the middle! The top is where Rion, Weped, Dualtron, and Kaabo Wolf live. If you found the 10X scary, don't go anywhere near these ones!
won't matter what price it is still illegal to ride pretty much everywhere
He should really teach her how to ride.
