I bought a Gotrax GX2 for my first scooter a week ago. I’m hooked, and already saving for a Nami Klima 😂
Great review. I bought the pegasus a year ago thanks to your original review. Keep up the good content!
You should make a series on best used scooters to look for. I got my pegasus for 450 based off your review and recently got a mantis king gt for 1100 w/ 200 miles. With some good buyers tips and fair price ranges, it may be a helpful resource for riders on a budget.
this was a very accurate review. i have ridden a lot of these....you are dead on with most...totally not a waste of time.
Your videos on the eagle one pro contributed heavily to my decision to buy one. I got it in September, put 3500 miles on it by December, and now it’s my back up to my roadrunner pro. Thank you for continuing to provide long term coverage and for being the asset to the community that you are!
What do you think is better than roadrunner pro or the varla eagle One pro
@@thesekeyes5964 they are two completely different entities. Both have their place. The roadrunner pro is better for my use case, but others might have the opposite opinion. The varla is a tank, rode in the rain, snow, ice, had 3 bad crashes and it still goes like day one.
Yesterday I bought the Maxfun 10 Pro with great price $1799, thank you for the nice video 👍
Thank you Brian, just checked the Fedex tracking number and you will get the scooter later today, enjoy your riding!
Dumb
Hi great video. what do you recommend 1500-2000 overall best?
I bet you will cover Klima again in the next video loll. Right now I love my Klima and kqi3 pro. Yeah, I am keeping both of them.
Great list. I'd ride any of those. I do ride a Phantom v2, and I would give it a 5/5 but getting new tires (like PMT E-Fire) balanced properly is a real chore
Nice review you got!
These look cool hopefully I'll get one in the future
Hi, great video....if you have the choice between niu qki3 max and the hiboy max pro , witch one do you take and thank , have a great day.
I have done some research and was looking at the teewing x5 I feel like this is a good bang for buck
I own a Kaano Mantis King GT that has 2000 miles on it. Putting PMT tires on it turned it into a real hotrod on the street. Absolutely love it.
I loved my Mukuta 10 plus so much I got a second, definitely deserves a spot on your list
I want to buy one. How is that feel? It is powerful, good for offroading?
@@andreig642 I took it off roading once and the dual shock suspension ate everything up like butter. Great height clearance and tons of power. Upgrade to Pirelli streets for road and you’ll peel off the line less and feel less vibration but always a blast even with the off road tires also. Single motor mode (rwd) is great for cruising. Great customer service you’ll love it lots of torque in dual motor at peak charge with a slight drop once battery loses half its juice but enough to keep smiling 🙂 0-30 in like 1.5 sec
i have the kukirin G3 pro and its a blast.. it stunns me every time over when i get on it and the battery is full... it really good.... i had to reduce the throttle sensivity....amazing scooter, can climb any hill antil you cant stand on it anymore
Would y’all recommend Teewing? I was looking into the mars XT 8000W, don’t see much on that scooter
I got myself Kukirin g3 pro, and I have had it for 1.5 years and driven about 1000 miles with it.
I have basically an E-Move Cruiser S clone, but with 1000W single motor and the smallest battery option, 48V 10Ah.
Im happy with it, costed me less than 200$ 2nd hand, got already over 8k km on it and recently i upgraded from a notebook power supply (330W) to a 600W 24V power supply to charge those 480Wh via a DC DC boost converter.
I give the old 480Wh battery around 250-300W (circa 5A) when "fast charging", still quiet fast and a new, DIY LiPo battery with also 480Wh about 480-520W (10A) and literally charge it to 90% within 50 minutes from 0% (BMS cutoff) or close to it.
I was driving 2 days ago as it was warm and nice outside over 150 km (within like 18 hours), one battery charged at home while the other one was used for driving, on top of 200Wh externally mounted in form of 2 tool batteries (while the other set tool batteries charged at home).
If i would want to, i could drive 24/7 as long i can charge and swap to the spare batteries when i am going low on the driving ones.
My next scooter will have for sure a oversized battery, if it means i have to recharge only twice a week, i will even love it since im annoyed by charging 2-3x a day already.
Can you send me the link to the clone ? , under 200$ for a 1000w scooter sounds too good to be true
@@jbusy8441 Its a german (rebranded) one, „Mobility, the original from Germany“ it was sold longer ago at XXXLutz
I'm kinda new. My brothers bought a few smaller scooters. Let me ride a GoTrax for awhile. Only went about 17. Don't think it even had a speedometer but we gauged it by me pulling ahead of him on one that said he was going 15mph. Now I got money up and was looking just for something to keep up with local traffic on the streets and to go up hill to my GFs house. I priced and compared a ton of them. I found one called the Zsnake and it hit the sweet spot at I believe$1299? I bought it on Amazon lol. But dude the thing came... The frame is solid. It is friggin huge and clunky. Performance wise tho ... I believe I got some bang for my buck. At first I was afraid I was gonna break it. First ride was fast. 2nd time wouldn't go as fast. But then I figured out how to change from eco to dual mode. Omg guys... I was doing 50mph down the main street in town. Holding my position in traffic.the speed limit is 30 but everyone drives like A holes up here. I gotta do over 40 just to match traffic. Having that little extra speed when you want it is handy tho. I've ridden it all week in dual mode (no eco) and only today has the battery alert popped up. Kinda hard to tell exactly how low it is or how far to go before I plug her back in. Anyone interested I'd recommended checking it out. I've heard people try and trash talk this company who I am not affiliated with in any way. That they are just an American company that buys Chinese parts and yadda yadda. This thing is super heavy. Takes up space. Uses 2 chargers. But when I squeal them 11 inch off road tubeless tires and take off... Boy it's enjoyable. I don't dare give it a high rating until I've had it longer. But I truly believe if I take good care of it... That it will treat me well. And for now... It really is a ton of fun. Bit of a head turner. You definitely get noticed on the thing. With it's bright orange paint scheme and lights all the way around it. Two headlights, a brake light, and turn signals. You definitely get noticed. Especially at night, people gawk like they are seeing an alien go past... but even at day time with no lights on. Had an older gentleman compliment me inside a store. Guess he noticed my helmet matched the orange and black color scheme and figured I must be the guy? Hahaha Good times tho.
I have an Apollo Pro, and the only detail I would add to this is, UL listing/certification.
For example, if you live in New York, e-scooters, e-bikes, etc, MUST be UL listed, or they are illegal... and that law is likely to be implemented almost everywhere eventually(soon).
That said, without going and researching all of these scooters, I can say that the Apollo Go, and Apollo City, are fully UL Certified.
If you don't want your shiny new toy to suddenly become illegal to use, buy ONLY UL certified units.✌🏼🇨🇦
I bought the bluetran lightning while it was still available and on sale for 1499 for the 35ah model. Glad I got the steal while it was still around cause I think it’s sold out and discontinued.
Don't remind me I was going to buy that scooter but I wind up waiting way too long. lol
@WilsonxDoomable be glad you didn't, my friend got one and it's cheap. It won't last
I’m waiting for the Maxfun 10 Max (72v) and the Vsett 10 Apex to release so I can decide which one to get. Tho these might be more than 2k. Maybe an early bird special would bring it down to this price range.
I’m waiting for the Maxfun 10 Max too, but $1799 is really a good price for Maxfun 10 Pro!
Would it be possible to review the CUNFON RZ800 scooter? It looks like it could be a great value and have awesome performance for the price
@Rk9 Rides I just picked up the Varla Eagle One Pro. This is my first scooter however I am having issues with wheel wobble even in the 30 mph range, is this normal and I am just not used to proper ride style? Im 5'11" 195lbs and only have experience riding quads and motorcycles. Any advice would be much appreciated.
great vid
I was waiting for you to get to the klima when you described that as your all time favorite is all I needed to hear fluidfreeride has them for pre-order $1700. Thank you for your reviews it really helps
When will you review the Kukirin G2 Master?
I just bought the ZO01 Plus. Should be interesting 🤔
Please help I can't decide between Splach Thunder and Kukirin G4, which would you choose? I regard reliability very highly as well as range thank you.
What do you think about the vsett 9+ I've been looking for a scooter my wife can ride around with me when I'm on my e skate. I have an exway atlas so looking for a duel motor scooter that can go up hills and keep up with me. Definitely going to check out the ones on this list but i was liking what i was seeing with the vsett brand. I live in utah so there are hills all over my atlas has no trouble going up them want to make sure i get her something that wont be struggling and has enough torque.
I "Think" Vsett and Varla are largely the same scooters.
I'm a little disappointed the GoTrax GX3 wasn't featured in the video. It's currently priced at $1,799.00. Although I love my GX1, the additional range and more speed are highly tempting me to sell for an upgrade. The Apollo V4 looks great too. Hmmm
I don't understand why the Zero 8X never seems to get a mention in the entry level dual motor scooters. It's still available with a sight refresh of NFC replacing the key start operation. This sccooter is fast off the line, with robust construction. Still a great machine at its price point.
Now...please do another video that tells us which company actually has parts on hand that we can buy to service our scooters. I've yet to purchase a scooter because I haven't found a single company (whose scooters I like) that shows that they have parts on hand to sell me. Like where do we find good tires for our scooters, once we need new tires...or better tires than the cheap ones that come on the scooters. Is parts scarcity a big issue in the scooter world??
big ups to Klima. Recently bought version 2 of the Burn E 2 Max (my first working PEV) had to change that thumb throttle. Using that above 40+mph gets real dicey. Finger throttle much much much better on feel with the hand securely around the handle bar grip.
I could not imagine going 40mph on a scooter. Would love to try a Nami one day though
@@berengerchristy6256 no regrets. I had issues right out of the box with Kaabo GTR (was my choice) returned it to get the Nami from a different seller.
Truth be told I wasn't ready when I first hopped on to ride. Never being on a scooter like this before I had it in x mode (no turbo) and with the power and grip of the pmt tires it was like holding on to a wild mustang. I didn't realize the power and you wouldn't expect it until you do. I haven't even tried turbo to get it to 60ish yet. 56mph is my fastest before I ran out of road. 😎the brakes are like a lightweight sports car. I'm more concerned with braking than speed tbh. If anyone brakes too hard you will flip over the handlebars no problem.
@@cocoabiscuits I have an apollo go and it's more than enough for me. there aren't good roads for going fast where I live. if anything I'd get the apollo pro because it rains and snows. we have all the weather
@@berengerchristy6256 absolutely! and I don't blame you. More times than not I've found myself cruising in eco mode which only hits 23 mph and I enjoy it. good point about the weather factor.
I've recently bought the mantis 10 lite what's your opinion should I return it and add some money on top and get something better? It was $600 off AUD$ which is 400 US $
What do u think of the ausom leopard and mantis 10 lite and mantis x plus
I’ve been told by another major scooter rider to avoid Nami. Why u may ask….because they rust easier and quicker than any other scooter. His Klima was just in the garage with all his other scooter, and was the only one rusting!
Hi, could you do a review of Hiboy Max pro. I heard that Hiboy Max pro is a beast
Can you review the Nanrobot n6 72V
Maxfun 10 Pro vs Roadrunner RS5 MAX............. is it the same scooter...... what one is better..... I'm thinking about buying the Roadrunner...... or should I get the NAMI KLIMA IDK IDK IDK......
How about the sister of the Max fun 10, the Nanrobot N6 72v? For a time last month in was just under 2k even with a steering damper. You even have swag lights and it being lightweight for a 72v scooter with a 30ah battery it's really hard to beat.
Nanrobot is a brand I honestly don't have a ton of experience with, I'll have to try and get my hands on an N6
@@RK9RidesThey have 2 versions, the 52v and the 72v. The 72v version is better and has really good suspension, it's the same suspension that is on the NAMI Klima (KKE). The Red and silver color is a head turner.
Do you think the inmotion climber competes with these?
Can u review punk rider pro dual motors.
Hey, so i’ve been looking to get a scooter for a while but am torn on what to get because i’m 6’1, 250. My price range is up to 1200 and live in a slightly hilly area. What would you suggest i look at? I’m not inexperienced with scooters in terms of riding them.
i honestly think anything on this list will do you well. Cheaper scooters will struggle on the uphills being a heavier rider. Definitely get a dual motor too from the list for easier hill climbing.
I plan on buying a Nui kqi2 pro but I havent gotten it yet is there any scooters for around the same price I should look into?
Are the Nanrobot scooters any good?
lookin at the N6 atm
I would love to have the klima, but it’s out of my price range, so have to compromise & get the dualtron pop
What do you think about Solar P1 3.0 and the Solar FF Lite?
What is the range on the Gotrax gx1 and the varla pegasus(9 inch tire)? Also can they go off road and which one would you recommend
of course choose valra,its best,
What is your opinion on the RS5 max roadrunner?
I get the NanRobot N6 72v in two days I chose it over the maxfun 10 because they were the same price but I got a 30 amp hour battery instead of a 24 do you know anything about that specific scooter that I purchased?
Am thinking about this scooter because of the 72 volt how does it perform is better than than the Lima?
@@doultonevans I absolutely love my scooter. It’s been a blast way more power than I actually thought it had without a steering damper, I’ve never put it in dual motor third gear. It’s too much that being said the screen on the scooter is absolutely shit. You cannot see it in the daylight at all. I hate it.
Do you think vsett 9+ would still be a great purchase in 2024?
The nanrobot N6 72v is $1850 on check out right now. I'm ordering it next week. It does 50mph and has a range of 81 miles
Anyone know of a way to test scooters (besides asking in Facebook) since I’m not in range of a dealer and am new to the e-scooter community. Just looking for the best option before making a big commitment.
Can you review the toursor x8pro
what about yume scooters? Are they any good?
What scooter in this price range has the best ride quality for cobblestone?
Any info on the GooBee 6000w 58mph Z0001 Pro?
What do you think of Vsett now days?
I'll cover VSETT more in my $2000+ video, but I like their scooters a lot
What about the gotta gx3 scooters?
What do you think about the Nami Stellar, a younger brother to Klima (Michael Sha said that will be on market in 2024)? Should i wait for this as a more urban choice or buy the Klima? I would love to hear your thoughts on the Stellar
If you can afford the Klima I don't think you'll regret not waiting. You'll be glad you have the dual motors
Thank you! I really appreciate your content and your excitement about electric scooters played an important role to make me take the decision to use an e scooter (probably the Klima) for commuting. Unfortunately we don't have the infrastracture (bike lanes) in Greece to feel safe but maybe in the future it will change.
@@gregalaI’d wait on the smaller version simply for weight. If you’re using it for commuting weight is huge unless you’re just going to wheel it everywhere instead of carrying it.
I’ve also heard that Namis rust easily, so if you want to commute in the rain I’d get an Apollo for that IP66 water resistance rating
I bought kugoonkrin g2 35mph 50mile I’m pumped and and ready coming in at 8:30
whats the max speed on the ausom leopard?
What’s the range of the gx1 at max soeed
cant find the ausom gallop for 1100 did they raise the price back up?
Yes they raised it on April 8th 😢
can you do one around the range of 600 - 700 dollars? or a recommendation maybe?
segway max g30lp
The YUME Hawk is 1,390 and does 43 mph and has a 43 mile range dual adjustable suspension 1200 watt dual motor 2400 total watts with a peak of 3000 and something...yume is a hugely overlooked brand and they have great scooters at great prices..the yume hawk also has 11 or 10 inch tubeless tires...and the tires are hybrid on off road..and it also has your favorite thumb throttle...check out yume and you'll def change this list
I'll be reviewing the YUME hawk next month when it arrives!
@@RK9Rides you wont regret it.. I do however wish I would've bought the pro version
Why not get the yume y11+ same price and 50mph
@@justsomeguywithahugepens8940it's outdated and back from when yume made budget builds .. their new products are better
@@Mattdoc210 Simply not true, it's one of the most cloned scooter models anywhere for a reason. Price to performance ratio is unmatched and it's very robust, replacement parts are very cheap and easy to source. The 600 miles of hard riding I've put on mine would have already broken most smaller scooters.
What about the gotrax gx3
What about the Vsett 10+ ? I own one and it's a blast riding it.
The Vsett 10+ is great, I didn't list it because the 10+R that I have tested is more than $2k, I'll cover it in the next, high-end scooter video
I've had mine for a year and a half. I'm an older rider so I don't do jumps or anything crazy and I only weigh around 170lbs. It seems the hole for the pivot point on the rear suspension arm is becoming oval. A good 1/4 inch of play back there. I think I'll need to take it apart, drill out the hole and put in some bearings. Maybe even switch out the rod if it's bent or mashed at the ends. It seems the material that the rear forks or swing-arms are made from, just isn't strong enough for the weight of an average rider or the strength of the suspension spring. I did a search, and it seems most riders are experiencing this problem a year down the line.
try the kaabo wolf warrior x
Is mukuta 10+ the best scooter for 2000$?
My scooter price range is around 300-600$ 200-300 being the lowest with very low range but okay speed of 15 mph and slightly higher at 18-20 mph with 20 mile range but my most will be 600-650 with a 22-25 mph and a range of 20-25 maybe there are ones with 30 miles ramge but the speed i will pay for is 25 with 25-30 mi with 600-650$ price tag as i’m too broke for even 700$ let alone 1,000$ and over.
gotta try some roadrunner scooters. they are american and well made
Varla Pegasus or gotrax gx1? Also can they go off road
Varla. Never buy gotrax, their CS is abysmal
we need a video for the fastest scooter under 1k for the speed junkie
What about niu kqi3 max ?
Why did you not mention Laotie TI30? Its in that price range and does 85 mp/h
Do any VMax scooters make at least an honorable mention?
The Solar EQ looks pretty good at $1500. What do you think?
I'm also looking at the solar p1 3.0 as it small enough to fit in my trunk; curious to hear how it compares to the rest of these scooters.
@@ludespeeder I just ordered one. It should be here tomorrow. I'm pretty excited.
Isn’t the Segway GT one called the GT two
honestly yall sleeping on the amazon scooters. i got a skycore rs3 about a week ago and it is way better than majority of these scooters for a way cheaper price($1300). it looks nice accelerates super quick most times when i leave a stop light i dont see any cars until im about to be at the next one unless the road is really long. its advertised at 40mph but sometimes on full charge and when theres not much wind it’ll hit 45. it says it can go 45 miles on a charge im sure it can if you go on the lowest speed. but full speed it can do i’d say around 15-18 maybe 20 miles is more accurate depending on how much you’re breaking to regenerate. overall really solid scooter got many compliments on it but i am probably gonna return it and spend a few more hundred for a 50mph one i saw with a bigger battery more range because i use it to go to work which is about 13 miles away and would like to keep up with traffic better and be able to go more places after work instead of just home to charge. ill do a review on video before i return it then ill review the next one as well
If you’re going that fast regularly get yourself some motorcycle gear. You don’t want to fall and have the road scrape all the skin off your back or off your palms or grind your elbow to dust before friction brings you to a stop
I got an Apollo go for my first scooter. I’m already trying to sell or trade to level up on speed. Anyone interested?
No Inmotion scooters?
They don't offer anything in this price range. I'll cover the Inmotion RS in the next $2000+ video
No mention of the motor(s) power or battery capability at all in a review? No numbers at all?
Fluid Mosquito?
The main benefit for something like the Mantis King GT or the Mantis V2 is that they've got spare parts out the wazoo and are more than likely going to last the test of time. I had a fair number of issues with my V2, as I have stated, but I am convinced I've got a lemon unit because EVERYTHING else on the scooter has had zero issues across the board. It's a tank. The King GT is a tested design that's had 3-4 revisions and is one of those models you get when you want something reliable and has a solid database of known problems, parts to fix and user experience to back it up. If you're looking for a $2000 scooter and the Mantis King GT is on sale, I'd say get that if the Klima isn't available.
Just my three cents.
I'd LOVE to see you try the Mantis V2 and give it a solid chance since your original mantis just fell apart. I want to know your thoughts on it over time too, if only because I feel it'd be more of a 'redemption arc' in a way for that specific model. :)
That info is almost important, but not the most important! The battery pack makeup, the wire size used, the controllers used, the battery cell, (not just the brand) mostly worthless info in every video!
@@Vmaxfodder Oh agreed, and I think we'll start to see more comprehensive details regarding these scooters as time goes on. But yeah I 100% agree.
How can i find a fast scooter under 600 dollars
NANROBOT N6 72 Volt
What about the Roadrunner RS5+?
It is so similar to the Ausom Gallop and the KuKirin G3 Pro that I didn't want to double up in the video, but the RS5 models are great for the price
40mph. Good lord!
