subscribe to hero rider channel for all ur Hero scooter how to's and have a say on the new X9 to be announced ;) / @heroelectricscooter
Dang that little Unagi was a tough little thing! doing that on a 7Ah with 1 bar!! thats impressive. Thanks for sharing a longer ride and perspective :)
Yeah its a little in city living commuter. Single hand carry anywhere. My first ride of it. Went to wheelstand. Flipped on my atse as i didnt expect it to lift at all! Lol
I like how you still have the tag on there. Great Ride! Thanks for showing us your ride.
haha gotta keep it phresh lol. like stickers on caps lol.
@@highwaltage qw
@@carlos5967 whats up?
👍 when you said at the end your mate had 49 volts left, what does it go down to? Is that like maybe 50% battery left? Sorry, just new to all this amp and voltage talk. Also been talking to the NZ supplier of the Hero brand. I’m pretty sure this is going to be my first scooter, probably not my last though knowing me lol.
Oh and also your wheelies in the other video (night ride) are so much better. 👍🏻👍👍🏻👍
Awesome video bro👍
Thank you sir
🔥🔥🔥
Hey man, what shock replacement would you suggest for the X8? I have one and thinking about air shocks? They current are 112mm right? Is there an option for air shocks?
You need a horn or bell for that beast to warn the pedestrians of your coming. Nice to see your vid from anothe country. Looks just like America, but you guys are driving on the wrong side of the road. =P
Its got a horn. I prefer to use it last. Raining non stop right now. I need to ride! Wrong side of the road for me too ;) lol
Brother do have any advice on improving a WWP20? It's good but I'm on one bar after ~10k.
bad battery or ur brakes are draggin a little?
Hey mate, thanks for making these videos, very cool. Got a Hero X8 18AH, my rear Zoom brakes got very squishy and harder to press, any ideas why this happened? Also, just went to the dubitz website, they ran out of red sunshades. Will you be printing some red ones anytime soon? Cheers!
red sunshade. ill print one off asap. takes 24 hrs to print. as for the brake feel. too many twists in the cable can do affect how the cable itself slides.
Awesome, thanks mate. Do I still order from Dubitz or straight from you? Will have a look at the brakes again.
@@davidlee4210 from dubitz bud. just checked. im out of red. i have blue left over, red is coming soon. next batch.
Thanks mate. All good, not in a rush. Are we able to change the colours of the deck lights? I've seen some reviews saying we can but I can't seem to connect via Bluetooth through the LED hue app.
@@davidlee4210 is the bluetooth in ur phone up to date? i had an older s6 that wouldnt work with it.
Where to buy electric scooter tpu shadow protector? Or what is it called? Can't figure it out !!!!
Dubitz scooters :)
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Wolf x pro isn’t happening. Due to $ I have decided to purchase the x8 with the 28ah and hydraulic brakes. Also asked for a thumb throttle, don’t know if that is a good call or not. Really looking forward to cruising.
Went for the big battery. Nice :) you might prefer the thumb throttle. Im against it myself. Would you like an lcd sunshade as well?
May i ask. Did you consider the s10?
@@highwaltage no i didn’t consider the s10. It just didn’t do it for me. Yes would love a lcd sunshade.
@@starkalarm pm me ur address mate. ill send you one.
@@highwaltage I’m not seeing a option anywhere to pm you. I’m on my iPad, maybe it has a option on the computer. I’ll go look
Hey buddy can you put the link up for your 3d printed eye3 sun screen plz thanks
dubitz.com.au/products/copy-of-e-scooter-sunshade-for-dashboard?variant=39764830683294
Where can I get. A sun shade like the one you use
www.dubitz.com.au use code WALTAGE. i designed them and print them.
Nice video Mate, what’s the top speed you have achieved on it and any problems with the stem? Cheers.
56kph boosted. no problems with this stem. the older one i have snapped doing 4 stair gaps and dirt mtb jumps lol. for simple commuting the older stem is fine. for being an idiot. this newer stem is perfect lol.
Haha brilliant. I was planning on getting the mantis 8 but know it has stem issues and the quality is bit dodgy, waiting for this to come to the U.k. Thanks.
Got another question, what would you rather the Kaaba mantis or the hero x8? Cheers
@@Jack44297 if i could get the kaabo tubeless on the hero x8 it would be perfect! I see them both as serving different purposes. Low maintenance and flashy rgb as well as ip rating. And battery sizes. Hero wins all day. Ride quality goes to the kaabo. But thats dependant on rider weight. And you cant do much about it if your out of the margin. Where the hero having external shocks. Gives you the ability to replace them with better units in future if you go down that route. I like modular options :)
@@highwaltage Thanks for the reply mate, i was about to press the trigger and get the mantis 8 but now i think X8 all the way. Cheers!
can i pay you to print me out a red shade for my hero?? i have the same scooter.. thanks or do you know how i can buy one?
contact dubitz scooters :) use code 'waltage'.
Very cool, but why don't you ride on the road? Especially at those speeds... The sidewalk is for pedestrians not motor vehicles
I very much agree. But there are some rules to adhere too until the road and path works are complete. Lots of upgrades going on in brisbane at least. I plan on making a road registerable thing to pick up service scoots with.
Is this an early generation X8? It seems the new one I’m looking at has a thumb throttle and hydraulic brakes. Just curious what other changes there are. Thanks in advance.
semi hydraulic. thumb throttle is an option i dont like.
@@highwaltage according to their website they seem to be full hydraulic now. I don’t want the thumb throttle myself so will likely look into swapping that ASAP.
Thank you for taking the time out in making these vids. It seems as if you are kind of in the R&D department based on some of your replies to other you tubers videos. This is my first scooter (X8 coming Friday) and hope to eventually mod it. How come no one seems to review these things? Anyways, I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to see new content. (Do you ship modded parts to the US?)
@@georgewilde8465 cheers and can do. Just gotta find the cheapest postage to send overseas. Ive sent a set of wolf suspension bushes to a bloke in finland.
@@georgewilde8465 there were discussions about going full hydraulic. Simplifies the line route as well for the rear caliper.
@@highwaltage just got this in an email today. Seems they are upgrading the suspension as well.
“All customers who purchased the X8 will get a new full front and rear suspension in about 1 month. The new suspension will have a bigger spring (more suspension travel.) You can ride on the current suspension and when the new suspension is ready, we will immediately send it at no cost to you. Free upgrade!”
