The EVOLV Terra is an all new dual-motor scooter that requires little to no maintenance due to the solid tires and drum brakes.
Urban Machina has created a commuter scooter that fits power and features into a nice compact package. If you are looking for a fast portable scooter, the Evolv Terra may be the perfect scooter for you!
In this video, we unbox, set up, ride, and tell you what we love and hate about the brand new Evolv Terra.

So I pre-ordered the scooter from Urban Machina because of this video, just got it yesterday, and I absolutely love it! Since it is my first scooter and I haven't gotten my safety equipment yet, I haven't been able to practice and get comfortable with the power yet, but I am very much looking forward to it.
I don't know if my scooter is special or not because I did a preorder of their second batch, but here are a couple differences on what I got vs what was reviewed:
* They changed the "cheap red and yellow buttons" to black with white text, top and bottom ones (and I think the buttons themselves are silicon, they feel nice)
* The charging port cap is knurled metal instead of plastic (but the strap connecting it is still plastic)
* Shocks are covered black instead of the brown color
* The safety lock when folding is silver/grey instead of red
Basically all better things, except for maybe the safety lock. I think red is better cause it indicates it as a safety feature and adds just a tad extra color without detracting from the black and white style, but that is purely subjective.
They put a lot of thought into every detail. Seems to have the best of all worlds. Good stuff!
Pre-ordered mine several weeks ago based on this video. I keep watching this video hoping that it makes the shipment come faster :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the great video. I finally found the scooter for me. One of the things I really like about this scooter is the loop for the handle bar. I can use that for a security lock.
Jimmy, you should do a "best commuter scooter" video/series. That would be amazing!!
Indeed. To paraphrase (Admiral) Kirk - "Galloping 'round the cosmos on an eScooter is a game for the young". Some of us just need a safe, reliable commuter scooter - an eComScoot (good name that)....
Two words - "Yes please"! Good review guys - thank you.
Love your channel! still rocking my wolf warrior 11
Thanks and That is awesome!
Love your reviews,Thanks again
It probably feels so smooth, because they must have smart engineers, who programmed the controllers with a good algorithm. That's what the tech guy from apollo scooters said on a video I saw recently. He said, is a lie that only sinewave controllers are smooth. A good algorithm can make a regular controller feel just as smooth. Not an exact quote, but you get the point?
This makes sense enough to me constantly learning
This looks exactly like the Hiley Tiger T8 Pro🤔
It is the same scooter, I just received my t8 pro
But much cheaper price!
IKR??? That’s what I said
This may be my scooter of choice. Its twice as fast as the one escooter i currently use (i dont even need to reach it to 30 unless im on a bike street path, make some tracks. But 8.5" solid tires that can go offroad, duel powered motors, suspension, and 30 mile range can be great for a daily commute. Definately needs a frontlight on it, but cost-wise this seems the most well-rounded for what you want in a commuting e scooter, while still keeping it fairly portable and affordable.
Thanks for another great review and some nimble riding! Electrifying work! ⚡⚡

Please do a review of the Kugoo kirin g3 🙏🏻 I literally HAVE to know what you guys think.
Really enjoy the channel guys, thank you for another amazing review 👍🏻
The VSETT 8 + acceleration is very smooth.
Just ordered Segway’s P100s…are you planning any reviews for it? Love your channel!
Tired of the high maintenance of scooters as I have gone through 2. Thanks for the video guys. Ordered one and used your discount code
Bravo pour cette vidéo, qui permet une fois de plus, d'avoir un grand choix de trotinettes. Sabel Marseille (France) 👍😉
thanks for great video again ! , will you please share the link to buy the helmet you been wearing? (yellow/black two tone)
You can absolutely make square wave controllers silky smooth (and sinewave controllers jerky - I am looking at you Vsett10+). You would for example see this on a Dualtron Spider 2 that has square wave controllers but too is absolutely smooth. It really comes down to a simple ramp up logic for speed.
I am interested in Spider 2 or Vsett 10 which would you pick? Taking other suggestions too!
@@erikvoelker4054 vest 10
I'd like to know real world range tests when you guys review scooters
Nice review and good to see you back on the communter end again. How would you say the Evolv compares to the Varla Pegasus given they are very close spec for spec ?
I rode the Pegasus the other day and it is very jerky. I much prefer this over the Pegasus.
@@freshlycharged awesome thanks! I had to ask given how close they were specced!
I appreciate that insight cuz I almost bought the pegasus cuz of a July 4th sale. I hate that jerkiness type of throttle response. First timevi experienced it was on The Apollo phantom v2. I want smooth ramp up of speed not a all or nothing feel
@@AdrianButler86 I am glad i asked that question now to Jimmy Chang!
I just picked up a Splach twin for $998 shipped…literally the same scooter. Obviously clones but the price difference gets nothing extra it seems. It’s the same even down to the acrylic lighting tubes. Anyways either way this thing rocks and it boogies
Splash sent us a scooter to review and it was broken when we received it. We tried to get them to service it and never got it fixed. If they won't fix scooters for us, I can't imagine what it would be like to be a customer.
@@Andrew-vt4jt oh wow that’s just terrible. Doesn’t say much for their customer service but you basically just reviewed it anyways lol
I have same scooter from different "brand". Next same scooter is named tiger pro 9
@@Andrew-vt4jt I also bought a Splach Twin, first impression was good, but only last a couple days. The dual mode stopped working after a couple days for no reason. I got a replacement after reporting the issue to their customer service. The replacement was working for the first couple day as the previous one and got the same issue after a couple days. And while in the Single motor mode, the scooter keep turning itself off. So frustrating. Now I have to wait until the end of this month to meet with their CEO at a local shop before I can get my refund. So ridiculous! Not recommend this company.
@@vincentphan3732 sounds like a controller issue.
This scooter looks sweet, solid tires, drum brakes, looks nice, and folds up compactly, I might get rid of my Wolf warrior and get This 🤔
This is Ezotron T8.. clone, the Ezt8 has nfc key start security option! Thanks for the review.
You guys are the few that rode the Terra, Vsett8/8+ and Varla Pegasus. Which, in your opinion, had the best suspension with solid tires? I would like to buy 1 of the 3 mentioned.
I'm also interested! Plus niu
I bought the Tiger T8 pro which is the same scooter as this. I don't know which came first so I don't want to label either as a clone. I weigh 230 lbs and can get up to 29 mph with dual motor.
-The suspension on this is good but takes some getting used to at my weight. It is very soft/squishy so I am hoping there is a way to adjust it. The ride is great on both street and IMO even moderate off road. It certainly shines when you are on a paved path but have to make a short cut through grass, leaves and bumps, to got around pedestrians or dogs.
-Where the suspension with my heavy frame gets hairy is when breaking and accelerating with dual motor. The soft suspension makes it so you HAVE to lean forward when accelerating. And the brakes are not very worn in, so you have to lean back and gently pump the brakes or risk flying forward.
-The scooter corners like a beast with the solid tires. I've had minimal slippage with them aside from a few cases on looser dirt, dusty surface streets and thicker gravel. They seem forgiving and not to hard to recover on slippage.
-This scooter climbs like a BEAST (even in single motor mode). It really is a climber. I can hit 24mph on approx 30 degree hills. And 20mph on steeper approx 35 degree hills. (even in packed dirt) Single motor it can go up those same hills at 12mph and 7mph respectively.
-The lights seem much brighter than shown in the video. Both the front lights and the side lights.
- I am going to change the P settings for the acceleration to smooth. I feel like the edge needs to be taken off a bit from the dual motors though it is nice to hit 26mph so quickly (and then trickle to 28-29). In single motor, the acceleration starts off much smoother, then hits 20mph pretty quickly before topping out at 24mph.
-Also range is over 15 miles hard riding with dual motor and some climbing.
Hope you review the Evolv Corsa next
Awesome.. very similar to the hiley tiger t8 pro
any suggestion on a scooter or ebike thats best for commuting rain or shine
didn't know you guys are in CO as well... sweet..
COLORADO!
@@freshlycharged I’m in springs brother
Does it look like those Evolv front trolley wheels could be installed? I feel like that would make it even better for bringing into buildings
Looks like a nice scooter! Still decently heavy, I've got a Fluid Mosquito more than 20 pounds lighter has become the go-to for most easy trips.
But you have a single 500w not dual 600 and smaller batter size and weight, less suspension, of course it's lighter!
This is as light a decent 2 dual motor gets! This is LIGHT for that. That's why I considering it, because this is light.
@@mojojojo3297 True thanks for pointing out, they aren't exactly comparable. A lot more in this package with that increased weight.
Hey - great video - how would you compare this to the EMOVE Cruiser? if you had to pick one - which would it be?
If you live around hills and more about acceleration, I would say the Evolv Terra. If it's range you are looking for, I would say the Cruiser.
Have you seen any performance scooter whose battery is UL listed? So far I only see ninebot/Segway has their battery password UL certification. To the best of my understanding, if the battery that is not UL listed but unfortunately catches fire to house/garage, house insurance won’t cover
I preordered one. It’s my first PEV. I’m waiting with baited breath. Any good suggestions for add on lights? I loved your review of favorite safety gear. 👍
Let us know how it goes! You're gonna love it. We did a light video recently you can check out.
Hey Julie, where did you order it from? I live in the US and the dealers listed on Evolv website don't have it in stock, thanks!
@@oripando if you use the link in our description, Urban Machina can ship it to you and Rev Rides will service it.
Hi Julie. Because it's your first scoot/ first PEV, I will answer fully to try to aid your safety. This will be long, but here goes. Please bear with me. (Maybe of benefit to others who are new to the game.)
There are two types of lights. Those for you to see with (identify potholes and obstacles) and those to be seen with by others vehicles, pedestrians, other bikers and PEV'rs. Being seen type always needed on, even in day. Many distracted drivers out there. I leave front lights on always for this reason, as well as back and side. I want them to see me coming.
I like to add a kiddie bar to my steering post like this to make room for mounting: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WSWS5HW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. (You may need to swap in longer bolts to fit some scoot posts)
Put multiple USB powered bike lights on the bar pointing forward. These are not the best, but they are bright. I use two on my smaller scoots, four on the 70mph big boy:
smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B099RW7W4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For both purposes, see and be seen.. I always have a backpack on ( luggage + protection), and add clip on USB rear blinkers to the rear. Like these: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071X6V4S3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. Many brands like this, but I like all to be USB rechargeable, unless they come with a dedicated outboard battery. And that will usually be USB-C recharge as well.
For 360 protection, these are pricy but cover that base: smile.amazon.com/Guardian-Angel-Hands-Free-Lightweight-Rechargeable/dp/B08PL5WV97/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3BIJ0WMQPDCJI&keywords=guardian%2Bsafety%2Blight&qid=1657214132&sprefix=guardian%2Bsafety%2Blight%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.fa474cd8-6dfc-4bad-a280-890f5a4e2f90&th=1. This is the "mini". There is also a larger one. You would need to select color and mount type. Some colors are illegal in some places, so please pay attention to local regulations. I usually use white for front, red and yellow for other directions, as this is commonly understood.
You can never have too much blinking light. Attention from all is a huge part of the game. Can be both scoot mounted and person mounted. I use and have described both.
Hoping not too lengthily, but these are items I've tried. Hope to keep you safer than if I said nothing..... Being seen is key to avoiding issues. Second only to anticipation and defensive driving. PPE (personal protective equipment) should always be worn. I tend to wear easily found motorcycle gear, but also go lighter if staying under 20mph. Always proper shoes, knee, hip, wrist protection, and helmet. Getting up to 30 is where you definitely start to need the better stuff. Full face helmet above 30. (My PEV's range up to 70mph) But relying on PPE should be your last resort, because avoiding an accident in the first place works far better than protecting from one that happens. Hope this helps your PEV experience going forward. It's awesome, fun, practical, but can be dangerous. Believe me, speaking from experience, an accident can be life changing and happen in a flash. Have time to write this because I'm currently recovering from first accident after 9,000 PEV miles. Don't let this deter you but do all you can to stay safe. Never scrimp on safety, and always think, and ride, ahead. Best wishes.
@@bkanegson Wow! Thank you for all the info! I have definitely gone in on some good safety gear, Bell Full face helmet, leet knee/shin guards, gforce elbow pads, and wrist guards. I’ll definitely look into the lighting. Stay well and may you heal quickly.
I like scooters that has adjustable height handlebar.
Which is better between this one and the Varla Pegasus?
Hello is it plug and play. Can i change the throttle from finger to thumb????
In the video you said you've gotten up to about 35mph on the display and could push more too, if you had to guess or if you know, what's the real top speed for this bad boy?
I think this might be the same model as the splach twin. I bought one and feel like it is accelerates too fast off the jump and wobbles at lower speed
I would really love to have one of these but these are too heavy for me 😅 I should really consider lifting a few weights, I guess.
Any opinion on this vs the Inokim OXO ?
Did u test the range with fastest mode
Jimmy, can this fit in the trunk of your Tesla without having to fold down either of the back seats, or do you have to fold one down like with the Emove Cruiser?
Did you find a got scooter for your trunk? the ninebot is a challenge.
You guys let me know if you're going to be in Texas anytime soon. I just bought a Yume M11H. There aren't any reviews of it on CZcams. You are welcome to use mine for a review of you'd like.
Does this scooter have an optional seat that can be ordered?
What makes it lower maintenance than its competitors?
Stuck between this and the wolf warrior
How come you guys don’t review Fieabor scooters?
no regen? waterproof?
how does it compare to Fluidfreeride’s Mosquito?
I'm very seriously thinking of ditching my apollo ghost and getting this instead. UPDATE: i ordered this today, its replacing my apollo ghost
Does it have regen braking or a way to get some recharge to the battery going down a big hill?
Yes it has regen. In smaller speed its bit harsh but in faster very smooth
looks like a dualtron mini i wonder how many clones are on this frame.
Take the kick to start off and the soft start and now its powerfull
a good buy
Same as the Splach Twin, maybe a rebrand
Can you guys make a video about Yahweh best scooters on amazon
it looks like the varla pegasus but how does it compare to it?
Had the pegasus it's great but, the folding mech attaches to a little ring that will come off and it's pretty heavy
As a highly experienced rider, owner up to largest 70mph dual motor beasts, always looking to upgrade my commuter tool scooter to a compact dual motor, and this one checks most boxes. BUT the deal killer is solid tire. Sad experience, including some falls, is that solid tires are icy slick as soon as pavement gets damp. As a commuter, you can avoid rain, but sometimes are forced to go home on wet streets, after rain has stopped. That's when this becomes a potential death trap. Any input, braking, turning, acceleration, can cause that rear tire to abruptly swing out from under the rider. Even slicker on painted surfaces (like white lines and bike lanes.). The low maintenance factor is not worth the safety compromise IMHO. Would consider if they offered a pneumatic option (with which I would use Armor Dilloz, or similar.). Not concerned about the lighting, easily upgraded with accessories. Charge port placement not great engineering. Frontal to weather and asking for damage. Could have been to the side. But solid tire(s)? No way. Sorry for any negative input, but safety concerns always worth mentioning.
Good feedback. Thanks!
Facts, what scooter would you recommend then 🤔?
I agree with solid tires not being as safe. Most solid tire scooters are made from a hard compound that is extremely dangerous on wet and slick conditions. I was really surprised with the compound on these tires. I will always prefer pneumatic tires for safety but these solid tires were some of the best I've tried.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Not worth the risk.
@@shanew7361 if you like this scooter but want pneumatic tires, a VSETT 9+ would be a good choice.
Are the shocks adjustable shocks?
The shocks are like the Vsett 8/9. Can make it firm and soft by adjusting the Allen bolt
This one or the 2022 Emove Cruiser
Nice review, but i think the Mantis 8 is a better value with more comfortable, grippier pneumatic tires and lower price point.
The Mantis 8 feels sluggish compared to this scooter. But the worst part is it is serviced by Kaabo USA. (Not affiliated with Kaabo manufacturing) They don't even have tubes on their site to purchase if you have a flat tire. I've been trying to find a tube for the scooter and had zero luck finding one.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Oh really?….unbelievable, that sucks! Sounds like the Evolv is the way to go then. I just know that solid tires are not as grippy or comfortable, but that’s the trade off for not having to worry about flats.
@@gt500dreamer the difference isn’t nearly as much as you’d think. These solid tires on this setup are more compliant than the pneumatic front/solid rear combo on my
Fluidfree horizon.
@@gt500dreamer what do you mean by solid tires are compliant compared to one pnu and 1 solid rear
@@batmangsxr300 Pneumatic tires are much more compliant and provide better traction than solid tires when used on front and rear.
Ehm, correction EVOLV reviewers. Those aren't light bars! They are my WARP NACELLS! 🖖🏼
Looks a lot like a Vsett 8+ with dual motors
Vsett 8 + has 2x600 motors 👍
LOL@ 3:26 tire change there is no tire
This one vs Varla Pegasus ?
Pegasus is great but, I like how this fold with out having a stem latch. The ring latch on the Pegasus blows.
Cos of that I rather buy 6month or are old line cars, bikes, all same after are you see product and feadback from people. And with Vsett I'm good and dealer has my beck if eniting happens. Also company wher i both scooter is extra solid. E-mowe store in Croatia 10/10 . Also next scooter will bee from them .

Is there a U.S. connection to return it to in case it arrives broken?
What is the warranty? I don't see it on the website. Thanks
@@NoProGoPronto Urban Machina will ship it and REV Rides will service it. If you have warranty issues, you can contact Urban Machina and they will set up servicing through REV Rides.
@@NoProGoPronto and its a 12 month warranty.
Which scooter would you say is better the EVOLVE Terra or the new Apollo city scooter 2022?
The city is a single motor. You have to get the pro to get dual motors and it is hundreds more $$$.
I was about to get a Varla Pegasus before I saw this. What stopped me was the order site said solid tires is not available in the US.
Solid tires are a must for me. In Oakland there are so many potholes, cracks, glass, screws or bits of metal, branches, and gravel/rocks. I would never trust pneumatics.
If this order keeps getting delayed, I may cancel and try and see if I can order a Vsett 9+ with at least the rear tire solid :)
