@nutnfancy, I am happy to help and you are right it takes a bunch of video's combining and editing ,but it makes it worth it when someone appreciates it, thank you!
@@ElectronSurfer all good in the great white north :) rain season is upon us ...sorry fewer days for rides....but i live in the only spot in Canada that doesn't snow (we get one snow fall a year) ...love it here :) take care :)
Great to see this scooter and I do believe the Dualtron Mini was made using lots of features from this Speedway 5? Could be wrong but just what I have read and seen etc. I much prefer the BMX style bars as they give you so much stability and feel of safety too
@LittleJohn_MD, I think you are thinking of the Speedway Leger, it is much the same scooter as the Mini. I'll be reviewing the Leger here pretty soon. Thanks for watching!
I wish someone would do a long range test on this. I’m down to either this or Emove Cruiser. There’s a local dealer for me to get Speedway which is a big plus but the Cruiser is the range king!
I have found little actual range benefit running single vs dual motors, the best way to get more range is just to ride slower regardless of eco/turbo, single/dual motor.
I've always been really interested in buying this scooter. However, the big turn off is non brand name batteries and the air suspension is supposedly inferior to the dualtron system with rubber inserts. Otherwise, I still really want one!!
I hear you, I have seen both generic and Samsung cells both fail, but not really with LG. That being said getting a bad battery is rare. Good thing is you still have a year warranty on the battery. The elastomer suspension does feel better but the air springs on the Speedway 5 feel pretty nice vs. some other scooters like the Emove Cruiser. My favorite thing with the Speedway 5 is the low center of gravity and power, it feels nicely planted. Thanks
Not at all actually. The suspension is way better, handling is better, display improved, it uses the same main body but that is really where the similarities end.
I really don't know for sure, sometimes even matching connectors don't have the same wiring. If the thumb throttle is compatible with the Ey3, you should be good.
very nice review bro love the details in breaking down the specs for the speedway 5 im suprised it doesnt have hydraulic brakes like the eagle pro doesnt either i hate it lol
@david G, I agree almost any scooter over 50lbs would really benefit from hydraulic discs. Glad you are digging the break down, I'll be comparing to the Eagle Pro soon. Have a good one!
@@ElectronSurfer yesss that would be nice I had the eagle for 4 months and the brakes I’m not happy with because of the slight stem wobble also which makes me feel uncomfortable going fast speeds you know takes away the confidence out of me lol
@@elchulazo2k Do you mean you have play in the stem at the folding mechanism? If so there is a allen bolt inside that if you loosen (back out) it works as a shim to help with that.
@@ElectronSurfer yep u mean the screw that’s under the stem fold right I loosened it up but I still feel some play there and whenever I brake it’s like the handle bars feels like it has a slight shift also kinda scary when your going fast speeds u know lol
@@elchulazo2k When you say “stem wobble”, do you mean movement due to looseness at the folding mechanism of the stem down below...or the possibly loose folding mechanism of the handlebars ?
Please I read about the motor from a french sales store to have 800w or 600w while some 1000w motors each all for 36000w in max.please I want to know what exactly is the motor size for each tyres??thanks
Of course I'll reply! There is no way you'll get 60 miles range...well maybe if you weigh 100lbs and go 10 mph. I think 30 to 40 miles are possible for most riders, if you ride conservatively. I hope that helps, if not don't hesitate to ask for more info!
@@Letsgetmad36 This is actually why I started reviewing to get real range numbers for folks like you. I wouldn't say they "lie" but they are often use very optimistic range estimates. Cheers
@@boke75 Reggie in that other video got a Zero 10x, he is now wanting the Speedway 5 because the lower center of gravity. Let me know what you think when you get one...or both. Thanks!
There is no IP rating, honestly most IP ratings aren't real anyway as scooters with the IP ratings do not usually warranty water related problems. My feeling is if you are going to ride in any rain, caulk the scooter everywhere there is a hole! Thanks
Outstanding review: highly detailed, fun, gave all the information I needed. Thanks so much for the work, I know it takes a lot!
@nutnfancy, I am happy to help and you are right it takes a bunch of video's combining and editing ,but it makes it worth it when someone appreciates it, thank you!
Best scooter I've ever owed by far. Jim is great to work with and really knows these machines
Glad you are diggin' it still Kevin, keep on truckin'!
Super pro review! :) :) so true on the headgear and safety...completely agree :)
Thanks Tim, good to see you, hope all is well up North!

I got a range of about 34 miles, I don't think you could get over 40 miles unless you ride pretty slow.
Fantastic test ! For the best battery save the better mode is dual motor and eco so ?

@@ElectronSurfer ty for the feedback !
Tired of companies saying BS battery life.
What they trying to be the next VW?
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Emove Cruier with dual motors and a little smaller battery
Not at all actually. The suspension is way better, handling is better, display improved, it uses the same main body but that is really where the similarities end.
This model reminds me of the emove cruiser. Or am I wrong?
You are totally correct, this frame/body is produced for multiple brands. I am just wrapping up a video comparing the Speedway to the Cruiser. Thanks!
Is the cable connection, plug and play? Do you think the throttle can be switch to thumb throttle?
I really don't know for sure, sometimes even matching connectors don't have the same wiring. If the thumb throttle is compatible with the Ey3, you should be good.
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks! Have a good one!
An extra battary would be great
If we lift the speed limit, we'll reach 60 kilos.
Open the machine room and unplug the gray wire.
No front turn signals ?
No, it's a silly design that is on a few other scooters as well.
Is it something that you would recommend be fine off road?
I would not take the Speedway 5 off road, it is fine for some packed paths but after that the suspension and deck clearance just aren't idea. Thanks
Cool it looks awesome 👍🏻
Does the upper steering bar where you fold have gaps?
I'm not sure where you mean? There aren't any unusual gaps anywhere.

What is peak power? 1 second? 10 seconds+? ;-)
I have seen the max distance you can get is around 60-70 do you think that’s possible? Hopefully i get a reply back

@@ElectronSurfer wow thanks for the info right now in the market and trying to decide between a Emove or sw5
@@ElectronSurfer i guess their site lied because it’s say 75miles distance lol

@@Letsgetmad36 I’m on the same boat as you hahah which one did you end up getting. Big plus for Speedway for me, dual motor and local dealer.
Had to mention the cantelopes, lol.
Cantaloupes...Are you busting my chops and trying to cover it with an lol....hmmm.
All’s cool, just took me by surprise. Good vids. Thinking of buying both the Speedway 5 and Emove Cruiser.

No speed, not intereted
Can I charge it to 220 volts please let me know thanks
I am pretty sure that if you order in places with 220v, it will come that way. I can't say for sure because here in the US we are 115-120v.
Thanks
is it waterproof ? what ipx rating ??

Ducted fanscuters who has tried one out ?
I don't know what that is but it sounds cool....(pun?!)
