Just got my Thunder out of the box last night and it's fully charged. I weight 165 lbs and the Thunder has more power than I needed around San Diego around 40 to 45 mph up hills ---wow!!! It's a beast with too much power for this scooter. This is my third electric scooters I owned, the first one is Ninebot D4, and the second scooter is the Qiewa QPower dual motor and my third is the Dualtron Thunder, is the one I just rode on today and it much faster smoother more power than the other two scooters combined. The Dualtron Thunder is a much superior quality made product in my opinion. I love riding my first two scooters and there is nothing wrong with it, but the hydraulic brakes and the power on the Thunder is amazing.... LOL... Peace.
Great purchase and I'm glad you're enjoying the Thunder. I have so much fun every time I ride mine. Ride safe bro 👊
Thunder is a BEAST
These are no way near as common on the easy coast and I'm constantly answering questions. Love my thunder this is the coolest thing ever and now I have two friends who have ordered theirs. Time for people out here to wake up.
Awesome, sounds like you are doing a great job spreading the future!! Thunder is a great 🛴 for sure, great choice.
I’m so impressed with dualtron been riding them for couple years. Top notch quality. Range is incredible and power is ridiculous
Yeah for sure. I never thought I would be a scooter rider, but Dualtron definitely changed that!
CANNOT . WAIT !!!!
cannot wit for you to do reviews on the new dualtron lineup. the new design of the storm is gorgeous but the performance edge of the ultra 2 is something i cant not have.
Yeah, I think many people are super excited by the new Dualtron line as they're finally going to 72 volts. I'm super excited to make some videos on these soon!
Nice ride 👍
Love this. thinking of buying one for a long time. need all the pro's and cons on it. some drag races. stunts everything you can show me
You got it, going to make a lot of content on this. I think you would love it if you got one, it's a beast!
czcams.com/video/b-iFcGTfRKs/video.html
That's .... WOW. This from a guy in the sticks of SC and used to just riding ATVs. I love this scooter thing. Thanks for the video.
All about getting out there and doing what you love. ATVs are sweet, id love one some day.
Darn right! *fist bump*
What kind of gloves are you wearing? Thinking of getting similar
Another epic video
still enjoying my Luna Cycle apocalypse scooter... but, this Dualtron Thunder Is really something else.
The fact that the tires can actually be changed more easily (and I hope that is the case) means everything to me
thanks for sharing this with us
Greg Savel Luna cycle made a great scooter no doubt! We have a few in our group. I hope they get back into the game with newer models, really good value in their scooters. I’ve been lucky and haven’t had to change a tire on my Thunder, but I’m sure it will happen some day
@@AlienRides appreciate the reply... the THUNDER is VERY tempting
2:53 Is the folding point for the vertical column (or whatever it's called) as loose or wobbly as it looks?
All scooter stems have some amount of play, but this is probably exaggerated due to the fpv camera in my chest. Feels quite solid IMO.
Cool!Dualtron super!!!
Your Dualtron Thunder is a beast! Though I'm curious about that other scooter with the trolley, looks custom, do you know the specs of that unit?
Yeah it’s a totally custom scooter. I’ve had it in a few videos, but hope to do a feature on it some day!
Hi love your videos
I noticed someone in video in front of you had a trailer on back of scooter and I was wondering if they sell that or if they made it ..thanks
bigteedo111 scooter trailers are a lot of fun, I have one too! Might take some DIY work, but you can rig up most bicycle trailers to your scooter. I’m not sure of the exact model he’s using but I’ll try to find out.
@@AlienRides ok cool thanks
I'm an RC guy but your making me want to get into e-scooters!!
bigteedo111 awesome, they’re a lot of fun for sure! Let me know which scooter you end up getting.
WOW,WOW, that thing is soooo fast,leaves all the other behind, Amazing, you have some Amazing electric vehicles. and i'm only on my 3 rd video of your collection, thanks for sub, sorry I don't have much interesting content like you have, I just recently got the inmotion V8 had my longest ride last knight just riding around my neighbourhood look at peoples Xmas lights was a lot of fun, i did 4 miles, which is a record for me lol, and I never crashed which is a first for me, come close a couple of times, anyway i'm off onto your next video, cheers.
My dual. Motor Maki would eat that thing up and spit it out. Save yourself a few thousand and buy a dual Maki.
I love my dualtron thunder too. Took my first fall on the first day. Got too cocky and took a hand of the bars to wave at a passing scooterist. After that I went straight to the motorcycle shop and got a jacket and helmet. Bike helmet is not enough. Due to speed your body carries the momentum will cause you to smack your head. Luckily I had on a rinky-sink bontrager helmet for road bikes, but it was enough of a smack to wake me up to the possibility of a worse fall. One thing I wished theyd make better on the thunder is how wobbly the steering bar feels. It's not reassuring at over 40mph. You must check before each ride on streets over 15mph. Also, tip from my experience. If your going double digits, find a comfortable riding stance and stick with it. Shifting weight constantly can eventually lead to disaster especially on windy twist hilly roads with changes in elevation as we have here in winston salem.
Raynell Holmes oof, sorry about your fall and I’m glad you’re geared up. I haven’t fallen on the Thunder yet, but I’m sure I will some day. I’ve heard other datapoints about wobbles as well. You can try changing up your stance and getting lower. I think some people are also selling a steering stabilizer for dualtrons.
Great vid and scooter! Do you guys ever do rides closer to the Eastbay? I’d love to join sometime =)
Not often, but occasionally. We do ride every week in the bay area, best way to find out is to plug into the Baesk8 group at baesk8.club
Your Dualtron is a beast. I recently bought a 600 watt Speedway 3 (same manufacturer as Dualtron) for my commute in SF from BART to the Marina. It is a single motor but is still really fast and can do 20mph up smaller hills (I.e. Polk St. I’d be afraid to commute on the Dualtron- too much power and crazy drivers. Falling off at 40mph is almost certain death. Be careful out there.
John Tashjian for sure, these machines have serious power and one of the reasons I wear full moto gear. The speedway is a great machine for commuting, I recently did a review on the Speedway V and found it to be a very capable machine.
The Dualtron is sick! Thanks for the FPV 😁. What's the top speed? I think I saw 40mph.
I think at 4:00 I see 44mph on the speedometer. I'm not sure how accurate that is though. My plan is to mount my cellphone to the handlebars and run an app as well for the next FPV video.
about 80km/h to 90km/h depends on your weight , this thing is a monster
I've seen one sets where it can go up to 97 km/h by the stock speedometer.
I have seen these scooters on youtube and seem cool but is it true that the prices are $5000 and if not where can i get one.
It is true that some are up to $5k usd, but you can find many powerful scooters for half the cost, and most of the power. Check out my other video on the Speedway V for example, it's a great scooter for about half the cost of this one. I'll be reviewing more scooters in the future also, so stay tuned.
I recommend using a local dealer where possible, but you can also order online from sites like www.minimotorsusa.com.
Looked like fun and such a great place to ride
Sometimes you just know...
So I put a downpayment on my credit card. I managed to arrange a special deal with another set of wheels with knobby dirt tires on them. I opted for a Thunder not because of top speed, but rather the miles I can ride with a build quality and suspension adjustability 2nd to none. I shopped with Ewheels but prices everywhere are basically the same. Jason helped me, tell him Elliott sent you! He will help you find exactly what you want.
Congrats on your purchase, you’re going to love it!
@@AlienRides your video bro was part of my decision making process
Thanks!
Where is this? Northern Cali? or S Cali? Beautiful area!!!
Thanks! Smokey this day. But we’re in Northern California. San Francisco Bay Area. Drop a line if you’re ever in town and want to ride with us.
@alien rides I live close to SF and i was wondering where you meet up to go on this ride? I just got an electric scooter and looking for a group to ride with. Let me know, i would appreciate it!
Awesome! We ride every Saturday at 1:00 Pm at the exploratorium. I hope you enjoy the scooter and join us for a ride some time. More info at: baesk8.club
Alien Rides awesome thanks man! How far do you guys usually ride?
Josh Silva we typically ride between 20 and 30 miles, but you’re free to drop out whenever you want to.
What kind of scooter is the individual using to pull that little trailer
A Wayward Man that’s a 100% custom scooter, that thing is so awesome. I’ll see if I can do a video of it in the future. I plan on adding a party cart to the Dualtron in the future as well.
Yeah I was looking at tat as well! Esp the rear wheel! Tats a big one!
look nice plz do a video plzb
Is There some possibilities to put the solar panel to drive free?
Great idea. You could charge batteries at home to refill for free, but I don’t really think that carrying a massive solar panel around with you would work well. It would be too big I think.
Thunder is cool, right up until the moment you have to lift it... This is why I'm getting the Dualtron Spider - 20 kg (44 lbs).
Makes total sense, I never want to lift this scooter 😅. The Spider is much more portable! 👍
Why I am looking at the weped mini
The display is it set to mph?
butch godkin yeah, it’s just what I’m used to living in America. I should probably change it to knh though!
How many kilometers is enough? under what conditions
Artemkos how many can you travel with a full battery? If that’s the question then the answer is a lot! Maybe 70-80 km or so.
0:25 Please tell me are you against the background of the bridge Godzilla ran across? )))
Hah, I think that was the Golden Gate Bridge? That's definitely in some other videos though!
@@AlienRides Yes, undoubtedly in other videos))) Thank you very much for your answer! ✌✌✌
1499 for my dual motor Maki and it go's 58mph with me on it. Scary fast. What's the thunder do 40 or so?
Thunder will do 45 or so at my weight. Maki sounds good, maybe too good to be true, I’d love to try it, got a link to it? I couldn’t find it when searching.
@@AlienRides good by a few names. Dualped, Maki.
Ray Murda nice, never seen a dualped in person, but I would love to ride one some day. No doubt they are a good buy.
Is it really the same year in San Francisco?
Last time I checked! 😅 We had a really bad fires recently, many towns burned down. Air quality is much better these days.
@@AlienRides Dang, thanks for the heads up. Glad you're all ok! Guess we'll have also have fires in the year 2604 when that comes. We're in 2018 over here tho
what kind of suspension you have?
I was just using the stock dualtron suspension for this one, I love it. 👽🖖
@@AlienRides thank you so much for replying
Level 3 is pretty aggressive for the riding you were doing for most of the ride. Perhaps you would drive less jerky on a lower setting such as 2. Then again, level 3 is pretty sick and does have it’s moments.
Yeah, good points. Mode 3, and also maxed out acceleration settings makes it a bit jerky, but it's a ton of fun to feel all of the power. And what's the point of buying it if you can't show off a little to your friends 😏
How fast is the Thunder vs a Zero 10x?
Thunder is much faster, but also a lot more expensive. Both are great machines depending on your need or budget. The Thunder will be able to get up to 50MPH.
Does this one have the ability to use a seat?
Yup, you can definitely use a seat on the Dualtron Thunder. I've heard it helps stability and control as you accelerate, but I haven't tried it extensively. You can find one here if you're in the USA: minimotorsusa.com/collections/accessories/products/dualtron-electric-scooter-seat-kit?aff=7
@@AlienRides Awesome thanks man.
Is the speedo in mph or kph?
MPH. I'm going to look for a mount for my phone so I can show both at the same time though.
@@AlienRides Its such a brilliant machine.
Did you have to unclip the 2 grey wires from the controller to unlock the max speed?
@@thefortressishere you should not do that unless you are on private property or on a closed race track. If I did, my speedometer would read >= 15 MPH. 😂😂😂
We have another video where we disconnect the grey wires: czcams.com/video/uqt7DKfCTVo/video.html (Not super visible in the video, but definitely need to disconnect them.)
@@AlienRides Oh those wires will 100% be getting disconnected trust me.
On private property of course 😂
what is the guy with the trailer riding
Haha, Randy's custom scooter/batmobile is insane. He custom-built it and attached a party cart to the back. I wish I had the skills to make one.
I posted some pics of his build here: instagram.com/p/BoK-qqpHENL/
Hey you should check out these other
E -Scooters products the names are Weped and Works Electric Hollyburn P5 they seem like with high quality scooters that could match the Dualtron Thunder. Something check out when you get a chance.
Definitely, I'd love to! I'd love to try to get one here for a comparison video if possible. They both look like great contenders.
The Dualton looks so smooth, but damn are they expensive.
They are expensive machines for sure, but definitely some of the best scooters out there. It depends on your situation, I don't mind splurging a bit because my scooter is my car.
@@AlienRides I have a scooter that is basically a copy of the small Dualtron, same frame, but made by another company called Honghao. It has 2x 1200w motors and is still pretty fast and good range, and it was alot cheaper. But it also feels cheaper and it's not as fast as the real Dualtron. Now that I know I like the scooter and use it daily I'm going to upgrade to the Dualtron soon. I have 2 daughters who are 10 and 12 and was considering getting them the Zero 10x by Falcon PEV. Any idea if those are decent? They look ok and have cool suspension. They are both pretty lightweight so I'm sure they would rip around just fine.
@@JESSEverything Cool about the Honghao, there's a bunch of clones that coming out now that are near the performance, but just don't have the same quality as Dualtron.
The 10X is a really fun scooter and will be monsters for your daughters. I'm sure you've seen some of my videos on the scooter if you've searched CZcams for this scooter. One thing I might caution about is that it does ship with fairly wide handlebars, great for a full-grown adult, but could be a bit wide for your daughters. I might recommend looking into the FalconPEV 8x which coming out soon, and could be a really great size for your daughters.
@@AlienRides Ok thanks for the reply. I found a guy selling the 10x locally so we are going to go test them out. Can't wait till we can go on family scooter rides all summer. It's going to be a blast!
you should change to a longer bar for more control at high speeds
Good to know, so I am clear, do you mean wider handlebars, or a longer handlebar stem that is higher? (I am thinking about doing a full handlebar swap)
@@AlienRides wider bar
@@cardfight4ever123 I will get one, thanks!
Why is he so unstable when going straight?
I think a lot of it is potentially the 360 camera stabilizing, as well as bumpy roads in SF 😅
i just love how many various el transport variations are there
For sure, all forms of PEVs are welcome.
What is the fastest electric scooter you've ridden??
Gregory Patzelt definitely this one so far, but hoping to change that later this year, possibly with the Dualtron X.
@@AlienRides the dualtron x? What's that??
Have you seen this bad boy? www.rionmotors.com
Also what would you compare the falcon 10x to? I'm looking at that and the dualtron spider not sure which to get....
The Dualtron X is coming out later this year (April or May) and will be larger than the Thunder. I believe stronger motor and battery as well. It’s going to be a tank and I’m definitely getting one.
The Rion is nice looking, I’d love to try one!
The 10X is most similar to the Speedway V I believe. Deciding is always the hardest thing to do, don’t forget to take local service, parts, and repairs into account when deciding on that.
@@AlienRides I live in NYC so I'm not sure what they service here..most shops are in San Fran in the US. I currently have 3 electric skateboards raptor 2 being the best and 2 e scooters the goped esr being the best but I want something quick that takes bumps well and isn't insanely heavy
Where are u from mate
Papp Sebastian Georgian San Francisco! Dualtrons aren't too popular here yet, working on changing that :)
@@AlienRides whooo, so much polution in San Francisco, is almost like China wtf man ?!? With those silly masks :))))
How much was your dualtron and in how many days it arrived ? Any addon accesories bought like fingerprint reader or something ? I wanna get one as well.
Ride safe, i subbed.
@@SebastianPappG Yeah, the smoke was really bad due to the wildfires, hopefully should be cleared up soon.
These machines are definitely not cheap, almost $4k with tax, but cheaper for me than a car (I don't own one). I purchased one from a local store here (Last Mile SF), and I believe if you're in the states you could order one from minimotorsusa. I'm going to be buying a bunch of accessories and modding the scooter over time.
@@AlienRides thanks for your response, 4k huh, okay, indeed better option than a car if u do not have a family.
I am from Europe, I will get one from ali express in 25 days it seems
Is it illegal to ride this kind of scooter in the US? Ever had any problems with the police?
It generally depends on the state, but most states have legalized electric scooters now. In California for example, we are allowed to ride in bike lanes and in the road if there is no bike lane. So far I have never had a problem with the police.
Alien Rides ok cool! Thanks!
whats the top speed in km?
flash burt my top speed on the Thunder is usually around 75kmh. Some people can go faster, but that’s about the most speed I can get on mine at my weight.
@@AlienRides you live in america, I guess its legal to drive that fast, in sweden highest speed is 20km/h
flash burt hmm, now that you mention it we have a similar legal limit that I forgot about 😬🙈👼
@@AlienRides I thought in us its like the wild west, joking no I thought the laws over there were.. nicer to ppl more getting crazy, I must say these videos on youtube is awesome I feel alive just by watching them, I sure wanna buy one and speed it up, no limit but I mean 60km/h is enough...
Does the scooter beep when applying the brakes?
hey germans check this out! this is how the normal countries drive. not 20 kmh ....haha. You have your bmw e scooter for 2k lol. for 2k I would drive the Dualtron !
remusny love it! I’m glad it’s legal there, but too bad about the speed limit. Hopefully that’s gets lifted someday, they have the autobahn after all!
Twin electric drive motors with powerful batteries always a good combination ..the scooter needs reworking into something less awkward...standing bolt upright like a flagpole looks stupid....not cool...i agree it's exciting but... think miki scoot
A lot of it is also how you ride... My buddy tears it up on his custom scooter. czcams.com/video/qJHeYiRyFeQ/video.html
So much less annoying than harley riders. I look forward to this reality.
Many people will hate us, but at least we are a lot more quiet, almost silent! 😅
I am seriously think about getting a scooter but the thought of the small wheel scares me to death.
What are you riding now? The 11” tires on the Thunder are pretty nice. The DualtronX and Hollyburn have even larger tires too.
I thought the same coming from "regular" electric scooters. Why the hell would I want to go over 40 mph? The Dualtron scooters are so robust that going 40 mph is nothing. I recommend going straight to the Thunder. I have 500 miles on my Dualtron 3 and have been wanting to go faster for months.
Too bad IQ45's tariffs have lately exploded prices on these in the US. Like one but not paying that tax.
Oof yea, these were definitely not cheap to begin with! I'm curious what the tariff does to the price, any chance you asked around how much it is per scooter?
Watch dogs 2😊😂
😂 I have just as much fun riding a scooter as gaming, so I suppose it's not far off!
cojonudo cambiar coche por patinete, adiós polución
I agree! ⚡️💪
In eco mode u can reach even 400 km, yeah ? If u go 25kph with 75 kilos
Papp Sebastian Georgian 400 seems like a lot, not sure. I haven’t done a range test yet, but maybe I should.
@@AlienRides hehe I see. Ty for the quick respons3. Do a range test please with 25 kph and 75 kilos charge. Thanks. Also what is your job so u afforded thunder? I am curious....also, dualtron X will come up in 20 days, would u get that as well ?
Papp Sebastian Georgian tons of videos I wish to make, just need to find time 😅 for me I don’t own a car so I use the Thunder instead of a car. I do like the DTX, perhaps I will sell the Thunder and buy the DTX. I want to see what a huge machine is capable of.
@@AlienRides what ar3 u working?
Papp Sebastian Georgian I make websites :) maybe one day I can do this full time though if I have enough subscribers, or if www.patreon.com/alienrides takes off 😅
dualtrón ❎ #️⃣ 1️⃣🛴
that bull cost too much , others are beating this in power and price .
Big Dawg Status any recommendations? I would love to try them!
How does it compare to inokimi ox?
@@alexisregan4119 I've never ridden one, but the inokimi certainly looks more portable, though not as powerful. If I can get my hands on one I'll do a full review.
I just got the ox hero and it goes 45km hr i get up to 55km hr tho sometimes 60km hr on hills weighs 26kg .. how about ur dualtron?? Weight?
I bought it because we have a inokomi dealer here and if i need help fixing or parts i can go to them instead of ordering online which is very useful!!
