thanks for being like the only guy on youtube to review this. i bought this in march and it's a fun ride. bought something much faster right after
What did you buy right after? I bought a Niu from best buy and after 2 days returned it and ordered a Mantis 8. I'm worried that I should have went with something faster since it hasn't arrived yet.
:-: I am Currently working on the same review.. It's a great scooter.. I got mine 2 Months ago and have put over 1k miles on it.. Beef heavy duty scooter.. Capable of jumps and wheelies. I did recently upgrade to a 5600 watt scooter but I still take the Mate out for a ride.
Edit: Great Review.. I was making one cause I couldn't find the info I wanted or see someone review this scooter.. Well Done Sir.
bruh a week after receiving this scooter I also ordered a 5600W scooter out of impulse. i also wanted a scooter that climbs hills effortlessly and although the mate can climb hills it's not as satisfying as 5600W
like the mate takes what feels like forever to climb a steep hill but 5600W is so damn fun I zoom up that thing
@@Aerochalklate :-: Tbh The Mate is still a joy to ride, it's just once you cross over that 800w single motor to just a dual motor (Not even counting more watts) it's just a different feel and enjoyment.. I still ride my mate and it's still fun. I Just have more fun on my G6 5600watt scooter.
@@Aerochalklate :-: I'll say I can get up a 30° hill going at 19mph.. I only weight 156 so I'm a light rider also.
I'm Seriously thinking about purchasing an iscooter iX3. (Same scooter as this one, with
tubeless tyres instead of solid tyres). Amazon UK are selling it for £469,99, (about $594).
You are getting a Lot of scooter for the money... I'm really Tempted !
I bought this scooter,it will be here Wednesday, can't wait try it.
I am 210lb as well. Just wanted something with turn signals and at least 20 mile range. Ordered this for $489 w/ free shipping. Hopefully worth it
Let me tell you about experience before you buy this. I ordered 3 for a holiday sale they had a month before Christmas. Well one of them came in broken but they only have a 30 day warranty so by time I opened it and found it broken the warranty is already expired. Now I have to try and fix it myself....that's some shady business practices...that knew people buying wouldn't be opening it till Christmas.
I really like this one I have it and it goes really fast and over all good quality product 👌
How fast
I bought this one for about $550. The first one that came had some problems with the display. However, my replacement scooter has been flawless! I really like how bright the light is at night. I do a lot of nigh cruising and I impresses how zippy it can be.
Just got the mate, I’m about to ride it for the first time
How is it? Did you like it, would you buy it again. I'm considering to purchase Mate for my son.
Just got this scooter. Loving it so far👍 whats the highest temperature it should go ?? Is 80’s farenheight normal ?
Hi Paul, This scooter looks very similar to the Isinwheel gt2 as well as features. What differences do you find between both scooters? Which one do you like better? Thanks, Lou K.
Excellent video! I'm considering a Circooter ,can't decide between the Mate or Raptor ,I'm debating if the extra $200 for Raptor is worth it. Also if 800 watts is enough for moderate hill climbing for 200+ lb person. Any thoughts? Thanks
i'm 200lb it carries me up hills well
How do you tighten the stem I have the same one thanks.
This scooter and the Iscooter look so much alike
I bought the KuKirin M4 which looks very similar in spec (same battery, 12.5AH, 48V) but with an advertised 500W (nominal) motor- 800W peak power. Different front suspension with the springs external to the strut shock (I prefer the look of the CirCooter but am neutral on performance difference); else same in the rear. The stem locking mechanism on mine seems to be an upgraded variant from past M4's (which were very similar to this CirCooter Mate mechanism). Mine also has an integrated trigger throttle with display, which allows me to operate both throttle and brake with one hand, without moving my hand to adjust finger position. Mine also has a start key and separate battery voltage display. Same headlight. Same sidelights. Same rear fender light. Same adjustable stem with foldable handlebar.
Price was ~US$440 delivered from EU warehouse to Switzerland within 10 days from order; plus $31 import duties. Fantastic value, imo.
I am 6'1(185cm) and 233# (106kg)...this scooter manages the hilly areas where I live with aplomb (usually they are in the 10-15 degree range...sometimes steepening to 20 degrees for short distances). It can reach displayed speed of 45kmph (28mph) on a flat field/path while in Mode 3 (turbo mode); with GPS it seems to actually be up to 43 kmph.
Just did a 1.75 hour tour around the village and countryside, clocking 28km travel distance (mode 2, max 20kmph legal limit) and leaving the battery at 45.6V remaining charge [Max is 54V, mid is 48V, so I assume the minimum is around 42V]. I see no issue with this scooter getting 30KM (18.75 Miles) on a full charge with me onboard; and in flat countryside with a person ~65kg...I would imagine that the advertised range is do-able or at least damn close to it.
I did uses SLIME sealant for the tubed tires, to avoid flats. I also added silicone sealant to any areas around the deck housing that could introduce water from rain/puddles.
Bottom line, with some minor mods (SLIME for tires, Silicone for deck) this scooter is IMO an excellent commuter and decent for groomed trails. However, it is not an off-road scooter...for such activity I would personally go for something with more robust suspension, better ground clearance, better off-road tires, AND DUAL motors (with 60V or more).
Does this thing have cruise control?
Are you able to put an adjustable seat on it?
I have had this scooter for a couple of months now and it definitely punches above its weight on price vs. quality. You get a lot out of this vs. scooters at the same price point. It is built extremely well, although it just an OEM scooter frame, it still feels very sturdy.
I also agree with you about the suspension though. Circooter is marketing this as an off-road scooter but it is a VERY bumpy ride. My commute takes me over a fairly long wooden bridge and I feel like I'm going to shake myself apart every time I go over it. I also don't like the lack of a latch to the backplate when it's folded. If they resolved those issues this guy would be the unquestioned king of value for money I think. Most scooters at this price point have a 400-500W motor and this guy has an 800W motor. Makes a big difference.
I only bought mine in Feb 2023 and mine didn't come with turn signals and side lights so you came out ahead waiting for awhile. :)
I've had mine for a couple weeks now. Like you, my biggest complaint is the suspension - or lack thereof. Do you know if it's possible to adjust it?
@@pamelasantini8783 I emailed them about it and they said that the suspension can't be adjusted. Maybe someone who is really handy with scooter mechanics could tinker with them, but I could find no obvious adjusting points. Still, for the money it is a great scooter in my opinion. I did sell mine and the only real reason I had was that my commute has some bumpy parts.
I have this scooter too ... and agree with you that it's a great machine except for that stiff suspension. While they built it to boast about a 440Lb rider limit they are disappointing the other 99.9% of their buyers. How many 400 lb scooter riders you seen lately? Weird decision on their part if you ask me.
Based on the performance reported here, I question the 800W advertised power. I have a KuKirin M4 (with 48V, 12.5AH battery), with 500W nominal power rating (800W peak power) and it gets similar top speed (43kmph with GPS; 45 kmph indicated) on flat bike path (no wind, ambient around 28C), as well as similar range ~30+km for someone 185cm/106kgs. Pretty sure the marketers are pushing the peak power figure and not the nominal figure.
@@pamelasantini8783 There are mods on youtube where replacement of rear shocks with aftermarket shocks (120mm or 125mm) has been done...but this will require additional spacers (5x8mm washers per strut mount) to clear the fender. Replacing the factory shocks (red ones at 115 mm) with aftermarket ones (usually US$20~30 per shock) does increase the rear clearance, but this also causes the deck to rise toward the rear partially.
I have a similarly spec'd KuKirin M4 with the same rear suspension. However, for my front shocks (with EXTERNAL springs), I can replace with slightly longer shocks to level out the deck and increase overall deck clearance by about 7 mm's. Not sure if this is possible with the Mate's front-fork suspension system.
This is the 2nd video on this scooter I have seen that mentions the bag that comes with it. I did not get one when I received my scooter. I have since wrote the company and am waiting back.
What's the length and width of footrest plz tell
This video saved me
to buy it or not buy it?
To know how to fold it
Have you had any problems with the throttle cutting out? Our throttle cuts out at times and don’t reengage till it slows to 1mph. It’s intermittent so hard to narrow down what’s causing it.
its the trigger the triggewr doesnt always click back to start
It might be a break Jam type of thing.
can you tell yet if the battery is serviceable. meaning can it be removed and replaced?
You would have to remove several screws to get to the battery
⚡️👍🏽awesome find and review paul👍🏽🙏🏽subscribed brother, great job with these videos, love it, happy I found you through my channel 👍🏽
That's great glad you enjoyed the video and really appreciate you subscribing to the channel.
Nice video, but what about waterproofness of the scooter?
It's ipx4 rated
the pin on my scooter to lock the red thing broke but i think the ring is unnecessary it doesnt get loose
Yeah you could always reach out to customer support. They just might send you a replacement, probably covered under the manufacture warranty
Hi!! What's the name of the app for this scooter to download?..
Circooter
You mentioned there's no stem wobble, that's because this Scooter isn't fast enough. Stem wobble starts to happen above 40 Mph...so no worries of that here.
Looks like a sweet scooter could you get it with a seat? Can you ride in the snow ❄️?
I wrote the company and asked if they have any seat for sale that might adapt to their scooter ... they said the scooter was not designed for a seat .... oh well~
Got mine two days ago and now it doesn’t turn on! Let’s hope customer service comes through
Did they come through?
Is this the exact same scooter as the iscooter ix3 on Amazon?
yes
Currently not available,😢
I told my dad about this scooter and he said we could "get it in a couple of years and I can use the one I have now," the bars are held in with one screw (not the right screw even), it barely gets me to my school now and I'm abt to have to go even farther, there is no fender, no headlight, severe battery damage and the scooter is just destroyed in general
What do you want us to do about it
Idrk, I was just mad at the time and just wanted to say something, don't know why I commented it on a video lol
Im gonna get this in like 2 months i just hope the police isnt gonna take it away@@Dr.Ligma1234
Does this do better with hills then Ninebot max?
Yep
This scooter will rattled your brains unless your on smooth surface. The soild tires don't help the suspension. Need to have a trade up program
Who has it? And it goes over 30 no?
Can you tell me what chord to cut for scientific purposes to make this thing go faster?
love this scooter, mine has an issue with the stem slightly rocking back and forward , is this normal...My lock pin also broke off... powerful and fast, bit heavy but definitey value for dollar
@@pamelasantini8783 they sent replacement lock pin straight away their CS is brilliant
It’s on Amazon for only 539
1.4.24😮
Bud light
A driver got mad at me cause the headlight is too bright
