Well done guys, thanks for all the work
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the vid 🙌🙌
I've got the Solar P1 3.0 (1200Wx2, 52V) on the way, specifically for its hill climbing ability. This video helped me decide that dual motors is a must have for a 260lb guy who rides in a hilly area.
Glad you got the right scooter for you 🙌
Superbe test ! Bravo à vous deux et merci du partage ❤
Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé et content que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo 🙌🙌
Awesome video boys keep up the good work 👍😎❤️
Thanks for watching and the feedback, glad you enjoyed 🙌🙌
Thanks guys great help to others deciding what to buy 🙏
Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful. Always nice to hear that its helpful 👍
Love you guys I’m waiting for the Duarltron Thunder 3 thanks for videos.
Thanks so much!! Thunder 3 looks so good!! 🙌🙌
Thank you for this! This was super helpful in helping me decide on some must have features. I am new buyer and really like to do my research. This was great.
Thanks so much for watching, really glad you found it useful and hope you find what you are looking for 🙌
Watching this from Sweden, looked like a nice day. You guys are not used to the cold LOL
🤣🤣 We really cant! 👍
Cool test!👍👍
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 👍👍
Awesome video guys! Now go look for warmer places!!!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed 👍
Great video, I have the phantom v2 my self and I think is plenty power for hills. I’m team dual motors.
Totally agree, great scooter!! Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed!! 🙌🙌
useful, cheers guys
No problem, glad you enjoyed! If you’ve got any questions just ask!! 👍
wow wow wow one of the best tests ever!! what do you think the Kaboo G booster would do there? May be below the Dualtrons a bit?
Thanks for watching and the feedback, glad you enjoyed. Haven't got a G booster here but would imagine, like you say that it would fit just below the Dualtrons and big Apollos 😀👍
Thank you for posting this informative video. Since making the decision to purchase an escooter, my biggest concerns are hill climbing and range. I live in The Algarve region of Portugal on top of a very steep hill and have been debating between the Apollo City Pro and the more expensive Apollo Phantom V3. After watching this video, there's no question which I need to buy.
If in doubt, go for the power 😀👍👍
Look at the Element Bondi 😍
I need one of those for the day and Nami for the night 😎
O yesss! The perfect combo 🙌🙌
Would have loved to see the Nanrobot LS7 …D6 and N6 perform against these as well …great video guys … thanks for sharing 😃
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed. If we would have had those in we would have tested them but we aren't a retailer for Nanrobot 🧐
Well, that was fun. Subbed.
Thanks Rod, glad you enjoyed it 🙌🙌
Amazing the Etwow got up the hill be it only just but shame Apollo city single motor didn’t. I think the Etwow is so light u don’t have as much of its own weight added to the riders for it to move and the solid tyres as long as you avoid bumps mean less rolling resistance. This really needs a view from the uk transport secretary as this shows exactly the limitations of single motor and 500 watt limit for heavy riders and people in hilly areas. Uk needs to be allowing 1000 watt at least as an overall nominal rating in my view. Great video though guys!
Thanks so much for watching and the feedback! Totally agree about the motor power, rediculius for hills if you arnt under 60kg.
We actually put a 72kg rider on the city 2022 single motor and it made it up the hill so not too bad 😅👍
My Inokim OXO is a hill climbing champ! Love it
🙌🙌🙌
Very entertaining. You guys are pretty funny! I would enjoy seeing more off-road comparisons, as I would like a scooter to ride forest trails when I go camping here in California, but also use it to cruise around town. Luckily I watch a lot of Ted Lasso so my ears are better calibrated to your accents. Oi!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks and what a show that is! We will definitely do some off-road comparisons as we get asked a lot!! 🙌🙌
I own the Etow and it’s so practical and portable for a 40 km/h machine
Its got to be the best portable scooter on the market 👍
What is the degree of incline there. ? My varla eagle one takes up to 30 degrees. I'm sure I can easily cruise up that at 25mph plus
It doesn't look much of a hill, but I think on camera hills don't look as bad
This hill is very steep but doesn't look as sleep on camera

Awesome Evaluation! I would like to know…..How The Batteries on each scooter,diminish from the fully charged batterie…on the same course?
Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful!! Generally when the battery gets below around 50% you will start to see some performance changes but it is different for each model. Acceleration will slow and top speed will be less. Then some scooters are set to go into "eco" mode around 30% battery life but again, it varies for different models and some are adjustable by the rider! 😀👍
Great job.
How steep and long is that hill?
Thanks! Approx 200m and a 20% gradient 👍👍
😆 That first whistle
He's very talented 😂😂😂
If you go single motor whats better, it to heave rear or front motor? For hills?
Such a tough one. Most single motors in the lower power range are front motor driven. Our personal preference is rear as sometimes the front hits bumps and can lose a bit of traction but is really minor! Other than that, there isn't a huge difference in performance 👍
How to do u spin that rear wheel in nami?
We disconnected the front brake sensor 😀😀
Can you test the Apollo phantom v3 on this hill and compare it to the v1 time?
It came just under the Vsett 10+ time!
Mine rates nominal power as 350w and top power as 700 , what does this mean ?
also it climbs really well at around 15-20 km/h
That element look cool.I would so upgrade it to a duel
I also have the Nanrobot D6 and it’s no slouch climbing hills !
Yer we've ridden one and its pretty rapid 😀👍
👍👍👍🤘 Отличный тест. Спасибо.
No problem and glad you enjoyed it!! 🙌🙌
Was hoping to see the unagi which is a ultra portable dual motor scooter.
The Unagi looks great and works really well on very flat ground but we found it couldn't handle even minor bumps very well so we stopped selling them 😢
Can you do a hill test with the segway p100s.
We definitely would do that if we had one here but we don't at the moment 😥
How does the ninebot max g2 compare in this hill challenge? Does it lose to the dual motor Apollo city pro?
We haven't tested one on the hill but the City Pro would definitely beat it up the hill but the standard city wouldn't 👍
@@RIDEGLIDE I wonder if the g2 would even make it up your hill. I’ve encountered really steep hills already that it could not climb, but it is rare & short really steep peaks.
I don't understand why inmotion put full suspension on the single motor S1 but made the dual motor Climber a rigid frame.
The Climber is actually a pretty quick scooter that would have crushed this test, actually a shame. Hopefully they fix that with an updated model someday.
Maybe you tell them they need that? 🤔😉
Love the content! Keep it up!
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed! We actually tested the Climber but it locked in eco mode so didn't perform that well but since its done really well up the hill. Only thing we can think is that it would have added to much weight maybe? 🤷♀️
Did the Nami also have Turbo set on? Provides even more power
Yes it sure did, full power settings on every scooter!! It’s so damn fast 😬😀👍
I have a Nami and Turbo does not give you more torque but more top end. It trades torque for top speed. For hill climbs it's better to have turbo off not that it would have mattered much on that relatively mild hill for a powerhouse like the Nami.
How the onewheel GT would do in this hill?
Check out the onewheel hill climb video on our youtube and its on there 😀👍👍
Why would Apollo even think about a single 500W motor?;-)
It’s great for general riding and really comfortable but unfortunately meets it’s match on steeper hills if you are on the heavier side 😬😀Also, it fits in with a lot of European road law and potentially the UK when the law is changed.
i know right io agree and asll i have to say is my iscooter ix5 would have crushed that hill its a 500w but peak power is 1200w had 2 years now i will never get rid of iyt has a 15ah battery . have faster scooters but she my go to ip64 waterproofing.
@@RIDEGLIDE
*its match
@@allemander Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed and sorry about the grammar 😀👍
because it's legal🤔
Can't quite understand how the Nami Burn E took the edge over the Thunder 2 as the Thunder 2 is 10,050 Watts?
Beats it on the drag race pretty easily as well. Not all about Peak power, comes down to torque, power distribution etc 👍👍
If you guys could. Please try to get your hands on a Weped SST
30kw peak power
Try this hill climb again
My warrior X pro would fly up that tiny hill lol
czcams.com/video/dg4UMq80T00/video.html
The ideal scooter in my opinion.
Scooter Weight 45lbs/20 kilos or less
Top speed 25mph/40km
Climbs significant hills and maintaining at least 15mph/24km
Range of 30miles/48km which would be real world 20miles/32km with combined flat and hills.
Good/decent disc brakes
Good video! I know there are scooters out there that are pocket rockets. Think of commuter scooters that you can throw in the trunk.
Always like the etwow GT for that reason. Super lightweight, nippy, decent range and water resistant 👍
i bought a ninebot g30 replica, that can go up to 35km/h on flat surface but sucks a** on inclines. i thought an 500w motor would be able to handle more
What helmet is that R&G
It’s this one www.rideandglide.co.uk/buy/safety-gear/helmets/leatt-helmet/. 😊👍
How does the nami 28ah compared to the max one it similar right ?
28ah are great but with the 1000w motors, they are not as fast as the Max and they don’t have the same range. That being said, they are still a really high quality, high performance scooter and lovely to ride plus the range is still massive 😀👍
Weird because I tried both and they were the same between 0 and 40 in torque and the 28ah still peaks at 5k watts
@@erwinbell6474 Not raced them against each other yet but surprised they are equal to 40mph. The 40ah peaks at 8400w from the specs 🤷♂
I think you should you be surprised and the peaks wattage I think is only to increase the top speed and not acceleration
Why would larger diameter wheels help with hill climbing?Seems it would hurt....provide the gearing of the motor is the same.
Not sure but all the larger wheeled scooters we have tested have coped really well on it. Possibly it could be down to the lumps and bumps on the surface as the lower powered smaller wheeled scooters get caught up in them whereas the larger wheels glide over them so keep constant traction?? 👍
It's hard to see that my beloved Achilleus getting buttkicked by the Vsett 10+ 😭🤣
The Nami Blast would be interesting on that hill. It's a 60V system, but i'm sure he could beat the 72's, cause the Blast is specialized for torque! 💪🏻
The Vsett is quick off the line!! The Blast destroyed everything apart from the Burn-e 😀👍
🔥🔥🔥
😊😊😊
Thanks for this video😊..
Just a question, do we need a license for the big off road escooters (dual motor) to ride this big toys??..
Thanks for the answer😊
Which country?
@@allemander here in Austria....
Oohh that means evety country have its own rules with these big escooters..??..
@@The_Rockstar05
Laws vary by country on most things and eScooters are no exception. No license, insurance or much regulation here in the USA. Even less enforcement of the few rules that have been enacted.
@@allemander thank you so much for your information..😊..
Because here in Austria, I dont really know yet..but I got an information that as long as the power of escooter reaches the speed 50 kilometer per hour, then it needs a license...But my question is, what if I only use it not in normal streets where the cars drive??do I still need a license??..I will ask our police officers here as soon as possible before I'll buy a big escooter..😆😅
Depends on the country. In the UK you would need to make it road compliant, then get it DVLA registered and then you could tax and insure but would need to have the relevant license 👍
E-twow GT Sport 2022 is a beast!
Cant believe it climbs the hill with 92kg rider 😀😀
@@RIDEGLIDE
The Etwow GT SE is much more powerful and better for the hills than the GT Sport.
I need a scooter that will take me up a steep hill that is about a mile long. It's my work commute. What would people recommend? I want something nice but can only afford cheap
What is the budget?
I've owned the 35Ah Nami now for about 18 months, and have ridden just over 7000km now. I bought it for it's range and comfort more that brute power or top speed. I used to own the Zero 11X and the Nami is SO much better. I would love to see a scoot that beats the Nami in every way.
We haven’t found one yet, what a scooter 🙌🙌
Hi there bro!..Just a question, did you need a license for your big escooter to drive??..
@@The_Rockstar05 No, they are currently legal to ride on private land without. When the legalities change then we may need one over here 👍
@@RIDEGLIDE thank you so much for your answer...Which country you are??
@@The_Rockstar05 We are in the UK, right down on the south coast!! 🙌
Really good video. I’m a bigger guy at 150kg so is there a scooter you can recommend
Thanks for watching!! Depends on the terrain you are riding but for the hills you are going to need a bigger scooter with decent power. We always recommend the Nami models as we think they are really high performance and quality but other brands would be ok as well. Think about battery range as being a heavier guy, it will drain faster. We have got an e-scooter buyer guide video which is pretty helpful as well that may be worth checking out!
@@RIDEGLIDE I see. Some good points thank you. I was thinking of the Nami however as there is a grey area regards legality on roads. In truth not being legal would I get stopped using a nami
if they truly were 500W all they would probably slow down the same, the fact is the peak power is different of the controllers
Yes they have different peak powers but also weight of scooter and design can have a big effect 👍
@@RIDEGLIDE yea forsure, but 2 motors getting 500W would get the same speed as a 1000W single motor unless the weight difference is very significant, i'm pretty sure that 1000W single motor thing gets quite a bit more juice, probly neighboring 1500 or 2000W
besides i believe regulators shouldn't touch/make power rules, low power makes it useless for heavier people especially if there are alot of hills or whatever in their area, and even then, even for lighter people it is an issue
i could get that they don't want people to accelerate beyond stupidity but true acceleration speed could be done by just firmware keeping track how fast it accelerates
like what does it matter if someone rides with a limit of 15mph but they have 2000 or 5000W for example? nothin
if they want to limit the acceleration they could just demand minimum 0-15 of 3S for example, that is easy to be done via the controllers' firmware and could even be 10kW, it helps unbelievably much uphill
it's like they want people to just stick to gas mopeds and nerf all untaxed vehicles
agreed my scooter 2400w peak power 3600w i knew what too buy paid 900.00 pounds 2 years warranty paid 900.00 pounds hill climb 45*
A Little Correction - the Sun is not 20 Meters away, as a matter of fact several Million Miles
Thank you David, we live and learn 😀👍
Throw a GT2 into the mix .
We have since tried it and its just behund the Thunder 2 👍👍
With the new regulations only allowing a maximum of 1000W of nominal power, which scooters would you recommend for a similar driver as yourself living in a very hilly area? Thanks guys.
If that really is the update then scooter like the Nami Klima One would be in that bracket and they are excellent! 👍👍
No Kaabo Wolf King GT?
No longer have one at the shop 😭👍
Prices would be nice
Check the website www.rideandglide.co.uk for all the prices! 👍
Should of done double tap on the thunder 2 😂
My Evercross H5 with it's 800 watt rear motor is loads faster than my Ecotric Rocket with it's 500 watt rear motor
Yup, makes sense. Depending on the controllers etc as well will depend on the much power can be drawn 😀👍
i cant find out the power restrictions for scooters in california so it must be illegal ive never seen anyone riding a scooter around here
judt get one stop obeying them dammmmmmm European creatures
@@jamescashmore1452 i am a european creature its not them i need to disobey its everyone else
Nami it is 😊
🤣🤣 Great choice!!
@@RIDEGLIDE I bought it from u guys I have done 127 miles already 😆
@@shaun5761 Nice 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@RIDEGLIDE Thanks 🙏
I didn’t know it was possible to mess up your lungs thru over exertion. Yikes can you tell us what happened so we can avoid? Glad you are okay! 👌
Send this videonto the authorities, ad the parliament and ask how that max 500w legislation is going to be any good? Thats a mockery
Yup, it definitely highlights the limitations of 500w scooters 👍
New subscriber in the US, and I'm considering either a Yume or Kaabo, however, maybe, I should widen my options. I'm big. 6'7" 235, but older and won't do anything stupid. I want it for mild to moderate trail riding. So far I'm considering Kaabo WW 2, Yume m10, and Yume Y11. Please.....any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! You are a big guy so you are looking at the right kind of scooters. I know they are pricey but have you checked out the Nami scooters? They are really high quality and are amazing for larger riders!! 👍😃
dont pay for the name but the specs
@@RIDEGLIDE
Thanks! Will do.
@@smoxesk
So you like the Yume possibility?
@@biggregg5 i have been loooking at that as well but like the the FLJ more jas more power
Avfucking steep? These are everywhere in Czech Republic... That is why i need check tests like this. Most people test it on flat.
Thanks for watching, glad we could help!!
@@RIDEGLIDE You should try add some weights with some scooters. People have some heavier bags, like with groceries. Or even test max weight, to test durability of a frame.
Would you recommend some scooter with 30-40km reach and 90-100kgs? I am mostly concerned about battery life and climbing power.
@@foreignfat6009 wish we had the time to test everything but unfortunately we don't i'm afraid. For recommending scooter its really important to know your budget as this can make a big difference on the scooter you pick?
Suprised nami beat thunder. Thunder has 10080W peak power compare to namis 8400
I guess we should not watch for specs , only results of tests like this for speed, range, acceleration...
Nami power distribution is so efficient and the torque is insane 😅😅👍👍
I HAVE THE P1+ i would get easy 30mph on that hill i paid 900.00 pounds for it i own 2 of them ?? not fully watched video as of yet am half way tru , and can say i have a powerful scooters but they need upgrading need more power
Watch til the end 😊😊
inmotion climber should have been on the list.....
It arrived the day after we filmed 😪😂
That's a slope not a hill
its the best we got 🤣🤣
Where's the kaabo at maaaan
All gone 😢
should've sent a Solar FF 2.0 up the hill it wouldve got sub 15 seconds easy with its 72 volt and 2x 2500W motors
Wish we had one to try 😀
Death Wish😮😅
🤣🤣🤣 it is scary
Apollo were absolute disgrace! They ask so much for their scooters while their motors dont have real peak power, just some 200 extra W, when usually other have 2x more or even on some accoasions 3x time just to be able start quickly or overcome some hills
The City wasn't great on the hill but their other models performed really well 👍👍
@@RIDEGLIDE True, but expected to do better for that price range, considering Victor is cheaper
@@felixmdx We hear you. Its designed as a high end, low power (road legal) model though and it fits pretty well into that bracket 😀
funny
Thanks for watching 😀👍
thunder 2 don't care about hills
Eats them up 🙌
@@RIDEGLIDE it winds up just as fast on hills as flat
just wait till you get dual motor that 20mph will feel like nothing , i started with a reid E scooter only 15mph and onlyb 15 miles ranges , then i got a iscooter i9 , then i managed too get a iscooter ix5 , then i was a able too get a envirorides p1+ . 45mph , 2400w , peak power 3600w , 18ah 52v, i paid 900.00 pounds with 2 years warranty had i about 2 years now love it , but just bought a kugoo g booster for 800,00 pounds 23ah 48v new version brand new 1 year warranty , now thinking of a 60v 38ah E scooetr for 1350.00 pounds
my scooter 2400w peak power 3600w i knew what too buy paid 900.00 pounds 2 years warranty paid 900.00 pounds hill climb 45*
the Apollo was shocking but seeing it selling at 1500 is joke i just got a bigger scooter fails like the Apollo cost me 1000 got my money back
Its not the best hill climber but a really quality "road legal" style of scooter. Indicators, app functionality, self healing tyres, front and rear suspension etc and it looks great 👍
my scooter as fast as the vsett 10+ and i paid 900.00 wow am really shocked , i really am a good buyer of scooter but is still want that damm vsett , dammmmmmmmmm i only have a 1000.00 but have to do up my home and buy clothes and food :/
It’s a seriously nice scooter 😃😃
@@RIDEGLIDE i know i really know man ????
got me thinking now ........................
