@@Jay-qj9zk agreed! I'm starting to look into this too, got a full face helmet but now looking around at gloves like the Knox urbane glove which looks perfect for scooters, not as heavy duty/cumbersome like the other motorcycle gloves and Knox makes great jackets/pants that have padding inserts, but a bit pricey
@@Jay-qj9zk I've heard the exact same, and through research it seems like Bell is at the top of the industry standard.

Thank you for making these YT videos and providing the trove of information on your website. Your comprehensive scooter database shows the time, effort, and love you guys put into your work. Thanks, Chuck, Justin, Paul, Ramier, Richy, Trina, and the rest of your team. A suggestion for your next video is to discuss insurance coverage, especially liability insurance. Most home insurance companies will not cover liability (damage that you cause to others) for escooters or ebikes due to the fact it has a motor. It will help educate your audience on their responsibility. Keep up the great work!
Ooooh! Good subject (and some heavy lifting!). We're working on a huge scooter-laws update, but this is another great research subject. Thanks so much for the suggestion! -Paul
Hi--we actually have a piece that we're collaborating with Unagi on (since they did a massive research study in 2020 and 2021) scooter laws. Essentially we'll be producing the 2022 version with them. It's a great service to the scooter industry, and more so here with all the confusion there is on scooter regulation. A deep dive on insurance itself would be a great video! We'll have to explore this. The insurance market for micromobility is very early still. - Chase
I'm not even in the market for a new scooter, my VSETT 8 is all I really need in my life for now. But still, I am so passionate about escooters and anti-car culture so I'm super happy to watch this and spread it around!
Thanks for putting all of this altogether, keep up the great work! I have a Zero 10x , Zero 8x which are great & my wife rides a Dragon GTS V2 which is sold in Australia here.I am 65 yrs old & love the freedom that electric scooters provide.
Gotta love this channel guys, this is good for consumers and they give this information for free to us. Trust me, I build and sell scooters, done tens of thousands of kilometers and this channel makes sharing knowledge and real experience very easy for beginners
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide 1st purchase, I've had it for a month. It's a blast. Only negative, it showed up broken in the box. I ordered aftermarket parts, was fixed a week later. Still waiting on warranty parts from the manufacturer, a month later.
@@warayamine632 Like all e-scooters, It's going to be awkward to carry more due to shape rather than weight, and if having to share a stairwell with others.

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Awesome I’ve been looking into getting some PMT tires! If possible please make a video talking about them, keep up the great work you guys do!
Fantastic job guys but I feel like there is one overlooked category. Scooters for big & tall riders or tall at least and I mean tall over 6.3 feet. Overall very informative video. Thank you

Would love to see the "Best" scooter companies in terms of customer service, warranty, turn-around service time, BBB rating, etc. Or at least a comparison for your audience. The "Best" scooter isn't always so great if you need to do a warranty claim, in my experience.
Ive been following and buying Escooters for 8 years and this vid is supremely solid -CONGRATS on all the great work !! The only thing you guys left out was that the Vsett 10 has the rare handle bars that fold down which increases portability 10 fold . Its the only high power / high range Escooter that will easily fit in a normal trunk
@Idrissa Morehouse as a seasoned escooter owner, do you have any advice for people that want scooters but are concerned about battery fires/explosions and fire safety and storage of scooter? Thanks
You guys are the absolute standard. Love anytime there’s a new video. Can’t wait for new innovative scooters to come out so I can come to you guys for the real deal review. I need me that dual motor monster! Gas is too much lol
As always Paul so much hard work that goes into an ESG video and is very much appreciated by the Electric Scooter community. Cheers to the entire ESG team including those behind the scenes. Love ya'll ❤️ ....I am Flash and I am out .... PYOW !!!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Your most welcome Paul, you are doing the community a fantastic service sharing your wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise. It's that level of commitment in which ESG provides that has helped people like me that are relatively new to this industry find the ideal Scooter best suited to me. I could not of asked for a better mid-life crisis Man Toy (in my case TWO! .... City Pro & GT1) I would never of found my City Pro & GT1 if it wasn't for ESG reviews, Deep Dive Thursday Night 'Live' sessions and close industry relations such as that with Sean, Mac, Chris & Eloi over at Apollo. (Shout out to those guys, no doubt an equal commitment with their innovative and exciting brand) So excited for what they come up with next come 2023. Anyway much love here mate from down under. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.... Oi! Oi! Oi! Have a good one 👍
They're very good scooters, but even the updated ones feel a little too 2021 for this list. (ducking) -Paul (I still love them though. Particularly the Victor Luxury, the original Thunder and the Thunder II)
SUCH a tight list. Only 13 spots. So basically it had to beat NAMI or Kaabo to get in, and we just could not bring ourselves to do it. If you watch our recent Victor Luxury review, you'll see us give lots of hat tips where its due to the inventor of the premium scooter category. - Chase
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Dualtron X2 should have been the most comfortable one to ride IMHO but you guys ride all of them so IDK you might have a point or 2 but I didn't see your review on X2 yet if you have ridden one ;)
My daughter loves her UM-2 Electric Scooter. She can't wait to ride it after school each day. I'm not ashamed to say I rode it as well. :) I'm 211 lbs. and it maneuvered well. This scooter is well built and we will likely purchase another one.
Happy 😁👍✅ Saturday I enjoy these testing videos. Apollo Pro is getting it with specs. Anyhill um2 and Bo M are lovely. Wish I had something of the two. Although I have Hover 1 Black Hawk. Comparison to Turbo Ant & Levy. Love your review varieties man thanks for sharing. Have a blessed weekend.
I am a 6' 250# guy, my Apollo carries me swiftly and reliably, and although takes a while to charge, its only in the charger 2 nights a week. I don't ride too far or too long, but I wouldn't hesitate to take it across town. The only reason I dont, the traffic where I live is really bad and drivers dont respect bicycle type vehicles at all!! Many times because they go faster than cars in dense traffic, so getting cut off or door opened on you is something to watch out for.
Thanks again, team esg. As this new market evolutionizes and revolutionizes personal transportation you remain at the forefront informing us. I bought the apollo city pro on your recommendation and evaluation. It’s a little heavier than i would’ve like (66 lbs) but manageable. I bought it for its conveniences like self healing tires which no one really appreciates until they get a flat, and the drum brakes which facilitates less maintenance worries and inspections like brake pads and discs after rides (i’m lazy). All the people i’ve introduced to scooters (by riding one and answering questions) and to ESG (real interviews with honest content and discounts) some are now riding and some are planning to. Now i wait for the arrival of my apollo city pro, I sadly must drive MB CLS400, lose my parking spot, endure traffic, look for parking at my destination, return in traffic, and finally must search for a parking spot hoping not to have alternate parking issues the coming week.
Oh, i remember seeing an article by you guys on the apollo ghost, that made me buy the apollo pro, just yesterday. A stellar looking and designed site!
Thanks for putting in the research and making this list. I’m still deciding whether right now is a good time for me to purchase a scooter and this list provided some food for thought.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Entered the giveaway as well. As someone who lives NYC, a scooter sounds like a great way to commute. The ones that can support my weight seem to be quite expensive, so I haven’t decided what to do yet. 🤞🏼 🙏🏼
I got a Ninebot Max G30LP as my first scooter. After I got hit and broke the stem, I replaced the stem and firmware hacked it to get a bit more power out of it. I'm looking forward to my next scooter; I'm ready to upgrade!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide previous speed was 30km/h. Now I can get 33km/h on the flat. More impressive is I can get closer to 30km/h up hill thanks to the increased torque/amperage.
@@jimj2683 it definitely will. I'm pulling more power out of the battery at once than I used to. I have no idea by how much though. You can get new batteries though. Even better 48v ones too. I really only hacked fit because it was hit with a car, and no longer in perfect shape. I was fine with losing it at that point.
Dualtron X2, have a seat option, have the biggest range, with better suspensions and bigger wheels than any scooter on this list, also it is the most visible for night riding, it has the best headlight turnsignals and proper horn .
Very surprised that the Nami burn E2 MAX didn't make the cut. Everything I've researched and watched online pointed at the Nami burn E2 MAX to be the best in class...
We absolutely love the MAX and were on the fence between the MAX and the base model. We just felt like the value of the base model put it over the top. Below 40 mph, they're hard to tell apart, and the base model got slightly more range than the MAX on our range test course! -Paul
I don't have a V2 but I have the original Burn-e, and I can vouch hard for it as the best scooter you can buy right now. Everything about the scooter and Nami as a company is great! Especially the customer service from Michael Sha. I bought a steering damper from mine (directly from Michael actually 😅) but the new version comes with one as standard. Makes it a dream to ride and so stable at speed!
We've been very impressed by FluidFreeRide for a long time now. Truly one of the best companies in the United States industry and a great company to do business with, especially with something like a vehicle that is going to need legit uptime and reliability.
@@bluecheesybob I'm making around $1000 a month where I live in eastern europe (I'm an electrical engineer...), so after paying for utilities, food, etc I'm left with less than $500 to save or spend. So that probably answers the question.
@@zsomborkodias yikes, even for eastern europe, $1000 is very low especially if you are an engineer. People making US minimum wage ($7.25/hr) would make more than you. Something does not seem right.
Thank you for this effort! Very professional indeed. I got a question. What about the Ninebot MAX G30D II? I would love to know how ESG would judge this piece.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Can you recommend any 40+mph dual motor scooters with handlebars more than 40 inches above the deck and weigh less than 100Lbs? Few companies publish this info. Thanks
I love your videos. You should do a WORST to BEST of all times list comparing all your your scooters in one video. Also it would be an amazing 1 hour video.
great videos as always. The Mantis V2 has a weight of 66.x lbs, that's not 106kg in metric. just a little editing error that I picked up on. Keep up the hard work guys!
Nice informative video as always. Keep up the great work! Hopefully the creators of the Vsett 10+ would upgrade their future models with a thumb throttle and other modern upgrades. As someone who has owned the 10+ for over a year now, you guys are right about the uncomfortable ergonomics for the brake levers and finger throttle.
@@parskyyyy I have a Mantis pro with Zoom, already had to replace brake lever because of leak, happened no more that 50 miles, Zoom compared to Nutt, Zoom you have to apply lot more force, Nutts are powerful like a motorcycle.
@@thehardnesschannel1605 my nutts honestly feel just as good as my zooms, but I spent a good while adjusting them. The pads tend to wear a bit quicker on the nutts too. Ergo is definitely much better.
What about the “RCB Electric Scooter?” It has front and rear double shock absorption. A 350W motor, 22 miles long range and max speed of 18MPH. Two 10" inner honeycomb tires, foldable and waterproof. All for about $500. Just ordered it and can’t wait to receive it. Not a lot of video reviews about it.
I love this. I'm still a relatively new rider, bought my mantis (albeit an older model) earlier this year on a bit of a whim, just because I needed a vehicle and, to be honest, I hate cars lol. It was my first scooter and damn if it wasn't the best purchase ever! I'm only 5 months in and I already want to upgrade. I'm currently looking at the WWX, love the double stem, the relatively decent portability and the fact that it's not that expensive. I'm also looking at the dualtron victor luxury, very nice performance and stylish, but the price gets steeper and it's probably not justified when kaabo makes cheaper scooters that are just as good. PD: Surprised I didn't see the dualtron city in the most anticipated list, I've only seen positive comments on it. Those tires might make it the most stable and comfy scooter ever, gotta have to try it.
I hope for more 12 inch tyre models. I think that is the best compromise between small but still large enough for higher speeds, comfort and handle uneven road and smaller potholes. And having even larger tyres then it become a different category more towards a bike. I have 10 inch tyre scooter at the moment but feel it would benefit from having a larger tyre.
Great vid on what to buy for your needs. I am just waiting for the right deal on a great scooter to pull the trigger and make that purchase. Thanks guys!
Just running through some older videos love this video still to bad I didn't win a free ride!! But none the less I ll Ike the honest reviews yall guys give 👍 keep up the great luck and what about a nanrobot showdown video!!😮
I was going to save for a emove cruiser too until I found out what these reviewers do not say about it. I would never touch it now. Do research beyond what they say here.
I have a gotrax but i'm wanting to buy an emove (which will have to be from like bestbuy online as no one else seems to sell it in canada). i can deal with the long charging to get a huge range out of it!
@@loganroy8853 I have been looking at them for over a year, they look good, can you link ehat you would consider an honest review? ESG seem to do good honest reviews and they recommend it?
I have been looking to get one. But it’s been so hard to check which one I need. I travel 13 miles to work and even though I have a car I have been thinking of going green this way. Fantastic review of all these!
My 15yr son wants a scooter and this video helps a lot but Im still undecided on what unit to buy him for Christmas So many choices and things to consider plus cost
Hey Joe, The nice thing about Lithium Ion batteries is they don't have memory, so the battery really doesn't care. You might have a disappointingly short first ride if the battery is low, because even when full, most scooters only hit about half of their specified range. (we get about half to 2/3 of spec on most of the scooters we test). The main rules with lithium ion batteries is don't store them with less than 20% charge and try not to leave it parked for a long time at 100% charge either, but that one is a little more tricky to avoid. -Paul
I commute to work on a segway es1 bird version. At first i was not excited to commute on a scooter (long mid life crisis story) but honestly…. Its kinda fun and my commute isn’t too far but now im loathing for more and am becoming a scooter nerd. Thanks for the list.
Teverun isn't currently in the plan. If you're in contact with them, definitely suggest that they reach out to us. There are so many good scooters to test! -Paul

do they still sell the gas powered ones and are these just as durable? i had a gas powered one that was real fun to ride
we only review electric scooters! -Vosk
Thanks for putting in the research and making this list. I’m still deciding whether right now is a good time for me to purchase a scooter and this list provided some food for thought.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Entered the giveaway as well. As someone who lives NYC, a scooter sounds like a great way to commute. The ones that can support my weight seem to be quite expensive, so I haven’t decided what to do yet. 🤞🏼 🙏🏼
Best guide will buy one
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
I got a Ninebot Max G30LP as my first scooter. After I got hit and broke the stem, I replaced the stem and firmware hacked it to get a bit more power out of it. I'm looking forward to my next scooter; I'm ready to upgrade!
Thanks for commenting Austin. What sort of top speeds can you get out of your G30LP now? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide previous speed was 30km/h.
Now I can get 33km/h on the flat.
More impressive is I can get closer to 30km/h up hill thanks to the increased torque/amperage.
@@KickingAustin Do you think the hack will damage the longevity of your battery?
@@jimj2683 it definitely will. I'm pulling more power out of the battery at once than I used to. I have no idea by how much though. You can get new batteries though. Even better 48v ones too.
I really only hacked fit because it was hit with a car, and no longer in perfect shape. I was fine with losing it at that point.
Dualtron X2, have a seat option, have the biggest range, with better suspensions and bigger wheels than any scooter on this list, also it is the most visible for night riding, it has the best headlight turnsignals and proper horn .
Unfortunately we have not tested that scooter yet , hopefully in the future. -Vosk
Very surprised that the Nami burn E2 MAX didn't make the cut. Everything I've researched and watched online pointed at the Nami burn E2 MAX to be the best in class...
We absolutely love the MAX and were on the fence between the MAX and the base model. We just felt like the value of the base model put it over the top. Below 40 mph, they're hard to tell apart, and the base model got slightly more range than the MAX on our range test course! -Paul
The list is SO tight. We scraped hard for every single one on the list of 13. - Chase
I don't have a V2 but I have the original Burn-e, and I can vouch hard for it as the best scooter you can buy right now. Everything about the scooter and Nami as a company is great! Especially the customer service from Michael Sha.
I bought a steering damper from mine (directly from Michael actually 😅) but the new version comes with one as standard. Makes it a dream to ride and so stable at speed!
excellent video!
Thank you! And thanks for commenting! -Paul
Love my FluidFreeride mosquito they are a responsive company when I had a shipping problem. Folds nice and compact.
Nice! So glad you like it! Great scooter! -Paul
We've been very impressed by FluidFreeRide for a long time now. Truly one of the best companies in the United States industry and a great company to do business with, especially with something like a vehicle that is going to need legit uptime and reliability.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide why didn't the mosquito make your list? where does it fall short?
@@ArminHartmann It is a copycat of the Uscooters GT Pro indeed.
Best bang for your buck is the Apollo Ghost 22. Great!!
Huge bang for the buck! We just got our 2022, but haven’t unboxed it yet! Can’t wait! -Paul
Even though they're all out of my budget, it's still a highly informative and great video (special thanks to the data in metric). Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Even the budget scooter choice is out of your budget? What kind of budget are you trying to work with??
@@bluecheesybob I'm making around $1000 a month where I live in eastern europe (I'm an electrical engineer...), so after paying for utilities, food, etc I'm left with less than $500 to save or spend. So that probably answers the question.
@@zsomborkodias yikes, even for eastern europe, $1000 is very low especially if you are an engineer. People making US minimum wage ($7.25/hr) would make more than you. Something does not seem right.
Amazing detail in every product! Great video 👍🏻
Thanks so much for saying that! we appreciate it. Stay Safe -Vosk
Fantastic video guys, the e-scooter space is lucky to have you! Aaaand we wait to have you guys test out the Äike T either! ⚡️⚡️
Thanks for the kind words! We are excited to test the AIKE for sure.
Thank you for this effort! Very professional indeed. I got a question. What about the Ninebot MAX G30D II? I would love to know how ESG would judge this piece.
We have not tested that one yet!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Alright, thank you for the quick answer. Would be nice to see it in the future!
Really wish ESG would add handlebar vertical height from the top of the deck to their database.
Great tip! We will look into that.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Can you recommend any 40+mph dual motor scooters with handlebars more than 40 inches above the deck and weigh less than 100Lbs? Few companies publish this info. Thanks
I love your videos. You should do a WORST to BEST of all times list comparing all your your scooters in one video. Also it would be an amazing 1 hour video.
That is a interesting idea! -Vosk
Great video, thank you so much for all the information and time you put into it.
Awesome! We are really glad you like it
-Vosk
great videos as always. The Mantis V2 has a weight of 66.x lbs, that's not 106kg in metric. just a little editing error that I picked up on.
Keep up the hard work guys!
Thanks for the tip! Will update. -Vosk
Loved the video!
Thanks so much for the kind words! -Vosk
Very useful video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! -Vosk
Nice informative video as always. Keep up the great work! Hopefully the creators of the Vsett 10+ would upgrade their future models with a thumb throttle and other modern upgrades. As someone who has owned the 10+ for over a year now, you guys are right about the uncomfortable ergonomics for the brake levers and finger throttle.
Very insightful! Thanks for watching.
I got the Nutt’s, so my ergo’s are way better
@@thehardnesschannel1605 swapping to NUTTs or Maguras is 100% worth it just for the ergonomics
@@parskyyyy I have a Mantis pro with Zoom, already had to replace brake lever because of leak, happened no more that 50 miles, Zoom compared to Nutt, Zoom you have to apply lot more force, Nutts are powerful like a motorcycle.
@@thehardnesschannel1605 my nutts honestly feel just as good as my zooms, but I spent a good while adjusting them. The pads tend to wear a bit quicker on the nutts too. Ergo is definitely much better.
What about the “RCB Electric Scooter?” It has front and rear double shock absorption. A 350W motor, 22 miles long range and max speed of 18MPH. Two 10" inner honeycomb tires, foldable and waterproof. All for about $500. Just ordered it and can’t wait to receive it. Not a lot of video reviews about it.
we have not tried that scooter yet!
Very nice video, also each of the scooters
Thank you!
I love this. I'm still a relatively new rider, bought my mantis (albeit an older model) earlier this year on a bit of a whim, just because I needed a vehicle and, to be honest, I hate cars lol. It was my first scooter and damn if it wasn't the best purchase ever! I'm only 5 months in and I already want to upgrade. I'm currently looking at the WWX, love the double stem, the relatively decent portability and the fact that it's not that expensive. I'm also looking at the dualtron victor luxury, very nice performance and stylish, but the price gets steeper and it's probably not justified when kaabo makes cheaper scooters that are just as good.
PD: Surprised I didn't see the dualtron city in the most anticipated list, I've only seen positive comments on it. Those tires might make it the most stable and comfy scooter ever, gotta have to try it.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. We are hoping to test the Dualtron City in the future. Stay Safe. -Vosk
This would be the best birthday gift to my brother ever!!!
Good luck in the giveaway! -Vosk
For someone like me that knows nothing about scooters and wants one this was a amazing video!
Awesome!Thanks for your kind words.
I've just started looking for scooters . This really helps me out.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
Subscribed. Saw so many scooters on the streets that I kind of (totally) got the message.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
I thought I knew what I wanted amd now I’m back to researching again!!
Haha! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
I hope for more 12 inch tyre models. I think that is the best compromise between small but still large enough for higher speeds, comfort and handle uneven road and smaller potholes.
And having even larger tyres then it become a different category more towards a bike.
I have 10 inch tyre scooter at the moment but feel it would benefit from having a larger tyre.
For sure! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
12-14in would be great!
Great vid on what to buy for your needs. I am just waiting for the right deal on a great scooter to pull the trigger and make that purchase. Thanks guys!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Great! Excellent job. I was interested in some electric scooters.
Thanks for the kind words! There is definately some excellent choices in the video. -Vosk
Just running through some older videos love this video still to bad I didn't win a free ride!! But none the less I ll Ike the honest reviews yall guys give 👍 keep up the great luck and what about a nanrobot showdown video!!😮
Always go to your channel for information love you guys keep doing what you do.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We appreciate all the support. -Vosk
I'm saving for an emove cruiser, they tick all the boxes, I have got an aovopro esmax atm, I can't really recommend it. Keep up with the great videos.
I was going to save for a emove cruiser too until I found out what these reviewers do not say about it. I would never touch it now. Do research beyond what they say here.
Thank you for the encouragement ElectroRider! - Chase
The Cruiser will serve you well.
I have a gotrax but i'm wanting to buy an emove (which will have to be from like bestbuy online as no one else seems to sell it in canada). i can deal with the long charging to get a huge range out of it!
@@loganroy8853 I have been looking at them for over a year, they look good, can you link ehat you would consider an honest review? ESG seem to do good honest reviews and they recommend it?
The dual stem kaboo wolfs are just too goated 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
For sure! We love all our kings!
Ridiculous that dualtron thunder 2 is not on the list!
We have tested the Dualtron Thunder 2 and it’s a very good scooter.
Really looking forward to Segway P100S and new Apollo City and Pro. Hope to see something new from Kaabo sometime soon.
We agree! Should all be awesome!
Can’t wait for the P100s. If it’s anything like the GT1 it’s going to be amazing! -Paul
Thank you for a quality video
Thanks so much for the kind words! -Vosk
Here from the giveaway. I NEED the APOLLO so so bad
Good luck in the contest!
Thanks so much!
Your very welcome! Thanks for watching
Thanks for this video, made a lot of things clear
Awesome! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
I have been looking to get one. But it’s been so hard to check which one I need. I travel 13 miles to work and even though I have a car I have been thinking of going green this way. Fantastic review of all these!
Thanks for the kind words and yes scooting to work is a excellent way!
this video is really amazing. I loved all the scooters.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I want the wolf king gt pro sooooo bad I’m definitely saving up for that
Great! It’s a excellent scooter overall!
I have one , it’s so heavy and next to impossible to get it up and down stairs . I’m selling it with 200 kms on it .
@@joebidenshearingaid1618 for how much
Thanks heaps for this video.
Greatly appreciated. But now my wallet is going to hurt even more haha.
Haha yea these things are definitely not cheap! -Vosk
My 15yr son wants a scooter and this video helps a lot but Im still undecided on what unit to buy him for Christmas So many choices and things to consider plus cost
What is your budget and speed/range needs ?
Hey ESG im getting my scooter soon and i dk if when i unbox it i should charge it before i ride it or i can just ride it out of the box
Hey Joe,
The nice thing about Lithium Ion batteries is they don't have memory, so the battery really doesn't care. You might have a disappointingly short first ride if the battery is low, because even when full, most scooters only hit about half of their specified range. (we get about half to 2/3 of spec on most of the scooters we test).
The main rules with lithium ion batteries is don't store them with less than 20% charge and try not to leave it parked for a long time at 100% charge either, but that one is a little more tricky to avoid. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thankss very helpful and quick in responding
Thank you for your videos. I have learned a lot about what scooter i would get and what i need
Thank you! We are glad. Stay safe.
I commute to work on a segway es1 bird version. At first i was not excited to commute on a scooter (long mid life crisis story) but honestly…. Its kinda fun and my commute isn’t too far but now im loathing for more and am becoming a scooter nerd. Thanks for the list.
Thats awesome! How long is your commute?
This looks like so much fun!!
It sure it! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Thanks for your effort and research
Thanks for the kind words! -Vosk
Amazing machines, I love all types of electric mobility vehicles :) Thanks for the chance :)
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Good review!! Looking forward for future videos. One question for you….what ever happened to Chuck??? Haven’t seen him in a video for a LONG TIME.
Thanks for the kind words! chuck had a baby and is taking some time off. Stay Safe. -Vosk
Love all of the info. thank you
Your very welcome! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Great line up I just got the evercross h5 pro it's a good scooter so far goes 25 with me on it
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter.

Can’t believe you don’t include Lunar Scooters chain drive scooters. They’re out of this world!
We have not tested any Lunar scooters yet! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
I'd like to know what your opinion is about the City e-Cruiser scooter Cobra 1000. Thanks for the reply
The value of the product is EUR 1178
We have not reviewed it yet! -Vosk
Hey guys, will you be testing out the Teverun Fighter 11 Supreme?
Teverun isn't currently in the plan. If you're in contact with them, definitely suggest that they reach out to us. There are so many good scooters to test! -Paul
Is this a whitelabel of the Bronco? (or is the Bronco one of Teverun lol) -- we would love to check them out. You can email yt@electric-scooter.guide to intro us to anyone who could get us connected with their team - Chase
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Okay I will get ahold of them. From what I see, they are a subsidiary of Minimotors.
Very well done video!
Thanks for the kind words! -Vosk
Great video
Thanks so much Kygnon! -Paul
