I’ve had a great E-Bike made by E-go I got at Amazon about 6 yrs ago. My husband got one too. We love them.
Great video and thank you for your excellent review! I am also looking for something like this just to have on the side and enjoy the scenery. Love your neighborhood too!
As someone who owns an electric scooter; the suspension on the scooters, do make a squeaky noise. The squeaky suspension noise is normal. FYI, when I first got my electric scooter, I used a marble bag to hold my mp3 player, and zip tied a cup holder to the handle bars to hold my portable speaker, so I could listen to music while I was riding.
Nice scooter! I need to get one of those, perfect for my metal detecting adventure!
I’ve owned one for 3 years now and have at least 1000 miles on it. Still rides nice
The batteries still have decent charge?
My niece bought one from Amazon and she just loves it if it's definitely saved her money and time she doesn't have to wait for the bus or walk a mile after
I thank you for the video. Great review. Thanks being honest and pointing out the shakes. I’m a fan of electric transportation. Tho I’ve never Owned anything like this. I still wanna try
SpecTY Jordan! I have been considering all of the pros and cons associated with the Electric Vehicle industry. I was not aware of a Metro version of the Razor.
What a beautiful place l. Love the scenery.
Keyboard Sy, that's what I was thinking while I watched this video. Looks like a great place to exercise. Walk, jog, bike --- whatever.
One of the best reviewer in youtube. Keep it up sir . God bless.
Thanks for the review! Bout to buy this for work related transportation. Definitely convinced to continue with my purchase.
Rocking the pogo+ (gotcha)... that's why I was interested in an e-bike/scooter for raiding around the my town and city lol
I just brought one and love it! It's sooo cute. I put a head light, brake light, side view mirrors and black metal basket, cup holder on the front. Warning, it can not ride over speed bumps! I had to get off and raise it over the bump. Later I saw how I can go around the side of them when possible.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
I hope you don't mind my seeing if you have any recommendations recommendations for me, a "fix-it" at heart, who just doesn't currently hv the energy within to fix motors etc:
What would you suggest to one looking for something they don't need to fix or tune-up?
Best, to & for you and yours!
I got one on amazon last fall for $350 put it together ten minutes. It jumps out fast and strong can take grades small hills runs across park dirt gravel paths even woods hauls ass and has balls nothing rides likes it solid metal great tireheight sealed batt so i can ride it in lite snow streets and the handbrake is solid it stops on a dime this puppy is the best priced most dependable anywhere absolutely gets several miles percharge xlnt for gettin around anywhere best nite ridin cycle there is sooo quiet. Best scooter on the mkt for the price runs like a scalded dog dependable. best money i ever spent cheaper than a bicycle!
This looks like so much fun!!
can you do a vlog comparing all the ones you tried or know about? comparison
Great review, informative. I am wondering about the "tune-up" you mentioned?
I haven't had the chance to take it to a bike shop (or wherever you'd take a scooter), but I was thinking at least making sure the wheels were "true" (since they're like bicycle tires, with spokes), the chain was in good shape and well oiled, and the brakes were properly calibrated.
Finally got to take my scooter out for the inaugural run today and really loved it that is until the battery low light came on and so I had to put it on the charger and I'm currently waiting for it to fully charge and unlike my experience with the pocket mod scooter I didn't crash at all.
It would be nice to see a wider/more forward foot rest set up on these board type scooters.
Something like this would take the place of a car when you only need a few things from the grocery store. The one test you might want to try is how far can you get before the fuel gauge goes from green to a lower state. If you take it to the next lower state, how far have you gone? This would indicate how far you can go and the efficiency of the bike.
Very nice video and interesting price. Thanks for stating the price .
I bought this from Amazon when I saw this video a few months back. And I'm glad I did, the price went up and they still ran out of stock! Believe me, this the buy of a life time for me. I was nervous enough just ordering the darn thing, then when it got here, I could hardly wait to unbox it!
Anyway, as they say, the rest is history. I love my little Razor. I have saved so much in taxi fares it has paid for itself many times over. Now I don't have to inconvenience my family or take a taxi, where a $12 meal ends up costing over $25!
G Roc Perez hey does it have keys?
dont you have any food at home?
Wow your really did a great job convincing me to buy it now haha. Transportation for my household are Uber’s, lyft, bus or walking
Fillip Baum 🤨 .. some people like to eat out. 🤷🏽♀️
Negrodamus We get it, you hate your mother.
I bought this a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVE it! I'm getting a lot of laughs when my friends see me on it, but they also can't wait to try it out. I'm now taking it to work everyday It only takes me 4 minutes to get to work on this thing. You can beat the price either. I highly recommend it! :-)
Do you have any idea what you are paying in energy cost to charge it? Is it noticeable on your electric bill?
I just brought one too! Loving it!
This thing is awesome. im using mine day in day out for the past 4 months
I know it's been 3 years but Does it still work good
Nice video. 1. Batteries, off the shelf or proprietary pack? 2. Effectiveness of brakes? 3. Fit and finish apart from the squeaking noise? Did you get that resolved? Tnx
Good review as always. What was the song you use doing your test ride?
I have one and love it.
Question i want to buy one but how fast did it go when you first got on it??? and how long can you ride it before it dies how many miles etc??
The Triad Motion scooters are really awesome, they're a trike/three wheel scooter you don't even have to balance yourself and there are other that are kind of like the Triad at a more affordable price, like the Zoome 3 etc....
Would this be good for deliveries? (I live in NYC). Anything that can help me would be good. Looking to purchase a electric bike fit for deliveries. Thanks! Good vid btw!
I got me an Ecosmart this christmas and love it, good quality, but the plastic chain guard rubbed so I just removed it and for a fast scooter it could use a better brake.
Great info., thanks for sharing. I've read several other reviews that have complained about rear noise so I'm searching for more info. in regards to that issue, specifically. If you happen to see this, any updates feedback regarding this would be aopreciated....
Awesome review looks fun. It's missing wheel flaps for the rain. Should been preassembled with flaps. I like the colors though. Feel sorry for the guy denied bus ride. I know Houston Texas is bike friendly buses. I love their bike communities. Wish I had one these there.
Would be nice if it could do level two charging. That would take about thirty minutes. I don't think you would want to hot-rod this scooter because it sits high and straight up, so it seems to have a high center of gravity. But Lithium batteries would provide for faster charging and longer rides.
Thank You so much for your video l had to be sure it was for me..
Thanks.
great vlog!!
ideal for RV camping, needs mud guards and bigger rear basket
I bet you could put a bundle of wood on the back of that.
Mr. Keyes, this might be what I'm looking for; something in between the E-bike and the rascal. I need something for my Mother & Aunts; whom are all in their 80's, would you recommend this? Thank you so much!
Great stuff . What is the name of that song u played during ur ride??
How easy is it to push/ use as a scooter if the batteries run out?
How heavy are you? I'm 270 and we also have some decent hills. I think it probably wont work for me.
Forgive my ignorance ♥️thanks for the video , but does it have a speed setter , or no? Does it come with a phone mount ? Can you ride in rainy weather ? Ty.
Hi, what is the specification of the motor used in this experiment and what we get it.???
Jordan, have you fixed the sound trouble in the back end? Do you still like the machine?
Get a cover for your motor to protect against rain and dust and mud. I love this scooter overall, and I like the fact you can do all sorts of mods to it. I would find someone to tig weld the back rack to the frame but with the rack sitting just above the back wheel. You can buy under lighting and frame lighting kits for 20 bucks on amazon too. I found a brilliant indicator for 10 bucks that shows an arrow left or right depending on which way you lean and a signal for breaking and even turning around. Basically there is so much more than I have stated here you can do with that scooter of yours, good luck with and please do a part two if you manage to mod it up.
Are you kidding? A cover for the motor? The motor is that large hub on the rear wheel. How do you propose to "cover" it? And tig welding the carrier... wrong kind of design for that. Watch out about modding: authorities don't take too kindly to modding electric scooter controllers, especially mods that INCREASE speed.
@@loginregional lol I must have been tripping at the time. I was actually involved in an open motor project at the time. You could always put a hub motor on the front wheel and another battery or two on the back rackNothing wrong with tig welding the back rack though for carrying extra heavy weights on it. Authorities don't take too kindly to E Scooters as they are banned round here so putting an xtra 20 mph won't make any difference.
Thanks for sharing the video...is this scooter realible
The problem is that it uses lead acid batteries, a brushed motor, and that means a very short battery life as well as less than a third of the capacity compared to Lithium Ion. The lead acid batteries also weigh 3 times more and that brushed motor will fail due to the fact that it uses brushes vs a brushless motor thats much more efficient.
great vid, did you sort out the squeaking motor sounds ?
Thank You Loader. I have my eye out, put I'm very heavy so I going for a quad bike four wheels are a lot more stable for me.
Funny.i just modified a razor scooter to use four wheels and added a seat.rides much safer and more comfortable.even added lights.
What do you do when u get to the store? Do u take it in with you or chain it to something outside? Btw u pick a good song while u was crusin on the scooter
Yes these types of scooters are great, but the one you chose has no suspension, the Evo or it's similar twins come with full suspension and can go much quicker, but all these scooters are great.
If you are considering an electric bike and don't mind a heavier bike consider the A2B octave what used to be called the metro, I have this bike it's heavy but for people who are larger it's a good bike as it has full suspension and fat tires but being bigger you don't look too big for the bike when riding it unlike many other electric cycles, it's expensive but you are buying a work of art in design.
Check out Rad e bikes. That have a fat tired foldable bike that looks awesome
Look into the RadMini folding fat tire bike from Rad bikes in Seattle.
Interesting video-worth watching
So I’ve had a few of the razor mx and e series bikes and scooters and that battery gage is very strange because when you start off riding from a full charge it won’t show any signs of the low light but when it’s about half charged and you floor it off from a dead stop then the low light will come on and then disappear once the bike has reached the speed you’ve set it to go and once you’ve been riding it for a while and the low light stays solid when you have your hand on the gas then that means it’s dead and you shouldn’t home and charge it but the full light will always be shining when you let off the gas because the bikes controller thinks it still has charge but when in reality it doesn’t
Me and my friend have a razor E300 electric scooter but we are putting a motor on it and trying to make it sort of a hybrid
getting this today from amazon so excited :)))
danks brother how did it work out?
How's it holding up 2 years later?
I have read on the net that if you don’t unplug this scooter after charging I full it will burn out the battery? If I changed to lithium batteries will go faster?
This is perfect for my commute. The only thing that it's lacking is a headlight. Do you know of anything similar that has a little more lighting? Thanks!
Erich Boehm i bought two of these scooters add the lights my self add bluetooth an hotspot an showlights
I bought a headlight and a rear blinking red light for mine also mirror so that I could see what is behind me
Can you swap the seat out?
Wish I lived near protected lanes - would like to make my car my secondary mode of transportation
You won’t as you’re too lazy
@@hymatwat9412 Not too lazy to ride that Razr to ya mommas house.
Love the soundtrack lol
Nice neighbourhood with nice roads to ride around in scooter.
Is there a safe way to lock it when at the store?
Looking to see the ebike.. You can pedal too. So a little exercise will come good too.
You can still scoot without using the power on this one, thats some exercise.
You are wanting an old school 80's moped.
Can you fit this in the trunk of a car? Is it easy to take apart and put back the handle of the bike?
I would totally use an electric bike or scooter if i didn't live in the middle of the country. It looks like you live in the suburbs. How do you find it works for you? What is your commute? What do you use it for daily?
I bought it too. My first test ride tomorrow. I have a little oil canister from my old classic bike but I hope I will not hear the squick...
What's the max range?
Nice bike. You should try and get a Phantom Gogo R1. That's an electric scooter, it's a bit slower though. Top speed is 15mph
Cool video, am currently looking at getting one of these for me and another for my wife. Curious as to how you resolved the issues with the noises coming from the back wheel, can you elaborate?
Yes! I don’t know how to tune up the thing! But I don’t want the noise. Help!
It is a bit loud. And it knocks every time you hit the throttle. Otherwise pretty nice. Bought an unboxed one for $400 today and am pretty happy with it
What did you get for an ebike? I been wanting a Sailnovo but got a Wooken instead because of hidden fees..
Where did you get the phone /Camara holder on your ride ?
auto subs - korean to english ( automatic )
THIS IS COMEDY GOLD SIR
Mine is coming this coming thursday!! 😄
Angeli Spearman How do you like it? Is it still working good?
ride it to my house
Rad mini looks fun.
Very good job
It says somewhere that the green light might come on before 12 hours on the first charge, but you should still leave it for 12 hours just for the first charge.
That's what I did. Follow the instructions is best.
Add some lights and mirrors and it's perfect
Anyone have suggestions on why the chain keeps coming off and what can be done to solve the issue
i recomend you to check the Shareroller!!!
Jordan I was thinking about buying one of these scooters?? I was wondering if I could add bigger or more lithium batteries so I can get more range??? I don’t really know to much about watts, amps @ volts?? Was hoping maybe you might know a little something?? TY for your time and great video my friend!!! I’m BRIAN by the way!! What gave me the idea was the scooter looks like it has a large area for the batteries??!!
I haven't done any modding to the Razer myself, but I know there's a guy named Elton here on CZcams that did a whole 48V mod to his scooter. Here's one of his videos: czcams.com/video/7lV5AFBepCQ/video.html. Supposed to make it a lot more powerful with longer range
Can it climb a mountain or only riding on the flat surface?
Hey bro ! I have 4 electric bikes.....I highly recommend Easy Motion electric bikes but only buy from an authorized dealer so that you can get the 5year warranty.
Darren Jackson Easley motion Electric
I put a 1000 watt brushed motor and use 40v ryobi batteries (3, 4ah) on mine. Can charge it in an hour from dead, i changed gearing also. 26mph on flat ground, well over 30 downhill which is crazy dangerous actually. Range isnt great, about 8 to 10 miles. But it sure is fun. 10x better than new.
May I ask if it is necessary licence to use it?
Great video again I love my scooter beats walking to the store
Hey. Are you over the 220lb limit? Im heavier than 220 what do you think would happen if you went beyond the 220lb limit?
Are your scooter batteries still charging?
I had a similar but smaller scooter 20 years ago which was a lot of fun. It came in handy after my car was totaled in an accident. Only problems were the tires would always go flat and the battery range was only 10 miles or so. Looks like they haven't really improved much in 20 years.
How heavy is the scooter ?
How many minutes does this run ?
How much weighht can the basket hold?
We have a E500s scooter and the tires wont fill up with air

Does this have a variable speed throttle on it? My razor pocket mod scooter doesn't so it's either stop or go (as in go way too fast) and I can't drive it as a result.
Unfortunately mine arrived damaged so I have to order a replacement front fork before I can actually drive it.
What’s the song at 4:04? Can someone please tell me it. I’d like to listen to it myself.
I like your Ford edge in the back.
luv the video review.
Q. What is the song that you play at (4:05)?
The original title was "Angel by Anita Baker" but what is the name of this remake?
Thx.
I have, and prefer an E-bike. I ran out of battery already and could peddle home. Also it's a little excerise for me at 67 yrs old. But the scooter is neat....thanks
