As a first time escooter buyer and a senior citizen I starve for information including details.
You guys do an amazing job. Each review is excellent and credible. The long list of tests provides meaningful comparisons and is world class.
As an entrepreneur myself, I think taking your methodology and signature look-and-feel to other markets could hold great promise. Ebikes might be a good fit.
I’ve been enjoying my fluidfreeride horizon so much that i haven’t gone to the shows on Tuesday. Thanks for making my decision easier and having an awesome channel.
Thank you for putting metric conversions throughout the video!
Just bought one! Thanks for confirming my purchase!
Thanks Chuck and Vienna! It is great to hear Vienna's perspective. I finally got my wife to ride one of my original E-Twow Booster scooters. She has to travel further to her work now so the kickscooter is not as beneficial. The Booster can use the bike lanes and maintain a decent speed and still be light. She has now seen the light :)
Best scooter reviews on the planet 👌,
Thank you.
Wow, thanks! Appreciate the support
Great review. Thumbs up!
I will Wait for the Inokim Light 3 with a 500w battery and longer range. They Charge a Ton of Money so I'm Waiting for "more value" E.S.G. = Best Reviews on the planet !!!
Just managed to get one of these on black friday deal for £420, its usual RRP is £849.99, so at less than half price, I'm pretty happy. Can't wait for it to turn up so i can ditch my Pure Air.
can you do a full review on kugoo Kirin m4 e-scooter please the reviews I have heard so far are not in English so they make no sense to me and other English people and I'm still loving your channel because of your in-depth reviews?
Just got the used one for 200 usd and working so damn good!
Any chance you have a review of the INOKIM Quick 3? For a slightly slower speed and heavier weight you get 10 inch tires. I am very impressed with the portability of the Light 2, especially with a speed of 21 mph, but am concerned going that fast with only 8.5 inch tires. Not sure how it would handle anything other than the smoothest of streets.
I got a inokim light 2 :) love it
Are you going to test this one also sold at urban Machina 2020 EVOLV Tour XL and XL Plus
Thanks for the Review.
Considering that my Quickwheel Explorer with 5400w Dual Motor 11Inch 36.4ah and dual top front oil Suspension did cost 900USD including 2 charger
-1 seat
-1 scooter bag
-1 chain lock
-1 phone holder
-1 inflator
-1 Allen Wrench
extra 2 road tires for free,
I think this scooter is a bit to overpriced ;)
I think that the xiaomi m365 400USD and even the xiaomi m365 pro 600USD are more reasonable.
With a second battery Back you get ~31 Miles of range :)
Are you a SALES MAN?🤑🤫🤭
It didn't get best-in-class weight or speed, but that wasn't mentioned. Does this scooter, with its pneumatic tires and no suspension ride better than the booster GT?
will you do a review of the GoBoard Titan (should it be available there)?
$1200 is grossly overpriced... I paid under £650 for mine on AliExpress from a seller I have used before and would highly recommend - 100% original Inokim Light 2 - shipped from Europe in under two weeks! Had mine for over 9 months, no issues what-so-ever and I use it everyday!
who’s the seller ?
UK RRP is 850, so yeah you got a good deal but its easy to forget that their $1200 is our £850. If you wouldn't consider it at it's RRP then fair enough but I think it's worth the money.
Hi Chuck, I'm starting to question the ESG Droptest. I don't recall any scooter that fails this. maybe the pass/fail threshold need to be reconsidered?
i know right? lmao
Yea, we will probably discontinue it. It was actually a suggestion from viewers to see if a scooter can handle normal drops and what happens if anything. But most scooters pass. The Levy had the fenders both broken off and some have a sticky throttle for 10 mins.
It's actually a good test, just that maybe consider other typical ways people break scooters: jumping off curbs, and hitting a nasty pothole. One extreme test you can consider is how strong is the stem folding mechanism (prolonged wear and tear, how easy is it to break, etc.)
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide in my Opinion just don't do it anymore. You slightly damage a new product for no reason.
@@IIISentorIII if they have the money for it then it's fine
Although, I like the design, and stability of the scooter, I really wish it had more power. I also like the drum brakes on it. In my opinion, drum brakes are better, at least when it comes to scooters, at stopping power. The Weped GT-50 comes to mind when talking about drum brakes. That scooter has the best stopping power of any scooter in its category. For the same reasons the inokim founder discussed, as to why drum brakes are better than hydrolic disk brakes on scooters. The disk brakes tend to bend, cause friction, and are heavier. Which adds weight to a scooter.
I hope more manufacturers follow inokim in the build quality of their scooters, and the design. But I'm a power freak, I need something with more power. I'm kind of caught in the middle, because I want to buy a scooter with power to spare, but I also want a scooter that is on the lighter side, and designed well. I know I maybe asking too much. Unfortunately for me, I live on a walk up, so I need a scooter I can carry up 4 flights of stairs. The scooter I currently own, is on the monster scooter side, 110 Lbs. Yeah, I have to log that monster up the stairs.
I have the Pure Air, not sure if they are a different brand name in the US, but the single drum brake alone at 15.5mph, will stop me in less than a meter. I know because riding through London, people will just step out into the road without looking and I have to slam the brake on and I just stop practically instantly. Naturally that distance increases with speed but I believe the stopping power is the drum brake becasue the ninebot I had previously used electric brake and it absolutely sucked.
What size inner tube are they please? where do you get them in the UK?
How does this compare to the Zero 9? Bigger wheels VS suspension
Wonderful review.
My rear wheel or motor does a sound when I drive or just spin the wheel by hand. Is it normal or can it be fixed?
16:40 lol awesome stunt
There is SO many other scooters that you guys just absolutely look past and don’t even consider it’s crazy I really feel like people are not getting a good comparison if there watching these videos 👐🏽💯
Love Inokim.❤😎❤
I'm OK w/ the cost of dome right. As for ultra compact, is this ad small as it can get w/ a matched distance over top speed. Something more beneficial to small frame skimmy riders of 130-150 ?
Yes that weight will get best top speed! -Vosk
hi folks, does anyone know how to remove the speed limitation (25 km/h) for use on private land / roads? Is there a video link please?
There is a page in the manual about it.
Inokim really does seem like the Volvo of scooters. Safe, solid, well built, reliable but no thrills and no excitement.
Being well built is a characteristic that is lost to some buyers who look at only the quick cosmetic specs and face value.
As an example , a couple of decades ago I bought a car that was largely mocked at the time for being somewhat ugly looking.
As an ex mechanic I knew it to be solid ,
17 years later , it still has the same unopened , engine, gearbox, diff, and still runs like a beauty and has been a fantastic car , even though yes it is still ugly 😄.
@@mikldude9376
Which car?
@@urbananalrapist
Toyota Land Cruiser!
@@mikldude9376 Name it.thx.
Why would a person sacrifice suspension for pneumatic tires that you can install on a suspension version? :D
Decent scooter however buy solid tyres cause these normal tires especially if you’re heavier etc with just puncture with ease
Can you test the hovsco 8.5 48 volt scooter
Did you know that there is 3 different models of this scooter? So what model is the one you are reviewing? ..models are, light 2 ,super, max,and Hero ,difference between them is battery size
This is the light 2! -Vosk
The design engineers of Inokim really should adopt hexagonal tube as stem to enhance the strength. The hexagonal cells of bee hives have been regarded as the strongest in structure by natural scientists.
Hexagons are the bestagons
can u make review on kugoo m4
Is this the Light 2 "Hero" with 10Ah? Because there's also a Light 2 "Max" with 13Ah battery.
This is the smaller of the two. -Paul
The Booster GT 2020 edition is superior to the Inokim Light 2 in every measurable dimension. Also, the now discontinued Egret GT (not Etwow) also had dual drum brakes
Wonder why its discontinued? 😕
How does it compare to ninebot max/F40
I feel like the FFR Horizon beats all of these 🤷 it's also half the price of this scooter and you get to go farther and faster, I'm just saying
only if you base your choice on speed and range...
Anyone know what error 25 is on my light 2
I wish this had suspension other than that very good scooter.
I suspect that suspension in this case might add only weight and complexity with little or no benefit to ride quality. Its tempting to obsess on spec details and not see the forest for the trees, isn't it?
@@curtwpk1361 My Ninebot had 'suspension' on the front and back and it was nothing but problematic. Had to constatnly tighten it up, lest the bolts just start undoing themselves with every bump. Since then I had a Pure Air, no suspension but 10 inch air filled tyres and I havent had to tighten up even one bolt since getting it 6 months ago. About to retire that for this Inokim this weekend, but I feel like I may end up tightening it a lot like the ninebot based on some reviews I've seen. One good thing about that Pure Air is the build quality and waterproof (not just resistant) design but it is a puncture magnet.
Why do you have another car battery in your boot??
I'm surprised at the price. Light 2 is half of that price in my country.
Where you from buddy
I love ur reviews but idk the specs are so bad that I have a really hard time with this review XD Its barely a "ultra portable" and at that price you could get a Zero 9 at just 10 lbs more for example which just completely outclasses it and is cheaper.
Smaller wheels on the Zero tho
Is this a light or a light 2? It doesn't say light 2 on the stem.
It is an Inokim Light 2, it's one of our team's favorite last-mile scooters. Still going strong!
Is it waterproof?
Hey Tim - AFAIK no Inokim models are waterproof.
I did purchase the scooter in November. On the 2nd day, the inner tube died on the rear wheel (which I got by mistake instead of never run-flat). I waited for the rear never run flat wheel for 1.5 weeks (thanks for the USPS delivery, appreciated). Once I installed the rear wheel, it went 8 -ty when I rode. I decided to make adjustments but the front inner tube died as well. Having had this scooter for a max of 3 weeks I used it for 2 days overall. It was the worst purchase ever with the budget >1K. Technically it was a complete waste of my time. The only plus is the look and feel. Suggestion to Inokim suppliers - Admit the fact that the inner tube or the wheel design overall is not appropriate. The scooter can not be used on daily basis.
We ride ours a lot and have never had a flat. Maybe they had a bad batch of tubes? On all scooters with air filled tires, you have to check tire pressure at least once a week to prevent pinch flats from low pressure. We've also found that Dr. Orange tire sealant from Voro Motors works really well when we have gotten punctures on other scooters.
Sorry you're off to a bad start with the scooter. I hope you're able to get your Light 2 sorted out and working reliably. -Paul
Liar !
Is it better then a Kaboo mantis
No way at all.
Different class!
Why portable.its not safe if things folds lol.and I never file scooter bcoz folding system get loose lol
I’m sorry but 350 watts for $1,200? Even the freakin boosted rev has a better price to performance ratio.
But its made to be a Light commuter...more power would need a bigger battery and then the whole scooter would be bigger...
Seriously, the price is actually half of that. I don't know why it's so expensive in the US?
It's because it's not a crap scooter from china.
How pissed off would you guys be when I tell you this costs 300 bucks in Hong Kong? (Yes you're paying a shot ton for shipping and taxes)
Lol, the same scooter, or a clone? Also will it come with local US or service outside of Hong Kong?
It's cost like 600 dollars in Malaysia and it's because our currency exchange rate sucks. Also, it comes from an authorized distributor, not just parallel imports.
16 miles range at that price is a no go
but it's shiny! ;)
24 miles.
Pro Dan Only if u drive slow.
Way over priced for what you get! Especially if you compare this scooter to others in the same price range.
True but I think the price is super inflated as it's very cheap here in my country. It's like 200 dollars more than m365.
most of these scooters are made somewhere in the world disguised made in China .. so... show us the manufacturers where they're made for batteries and parts.
When you realize you have no hair 10:00
16 miles? Might as well just get a Segway or TourboAnt
This is a older scooter and video!
Please stop comparing the Xiaomi M365 with all of these 1200.00 scooters. They should be better.
lmao
To much wiring outside👎
For extendable stem.
Bird One Scooters much better.,
Who cares about the seconds? It's not a race.
Some people like the stats!
A sponsored video!!???
Like a sales add. Ok scooter.8/10?
Screen isn't well visible under sunlight!!!Weak hill climber.
This is a old video! Like 2-3 years old
