The Real Cost of an Electric Scooter | 5-Year Breakdown

I love taking a look at how much things cost over time. So in the video I share a general idea of how much an electric scooter costs over 5 years. This includes maintenance, electricity, tire replacement, battery replacement and scooter accessories.

Underrated video. I remember having watched it before, and it still took me over half an hour to find it.

Some tires can fail sooner than others, tubeless pneumatic tires that are self sealing can last longer than tubed tires. It's like an every other to every 3 year depending on several variables. I rock a Blade GT and a Wolf King GT and 5hanks to those tires, I never really get flats, but I do a lot of hard starts with wheel spins so it may wear out faster than other scooters. The Blade GT on the other hand, the front tire has been on this scooter for a little over a year now and I had zero issues with it.

I'm just upgrading from Ninebot Max to City Pro this week. I'm nervous about some of these City Pro issues you mention but to be a commuter I need that water resistance and only the City Pro has it. Hopefully I don't get bit by any of the potentially unsafe issues.

well it depends on the kinda scooters you have, the battery for the phantom is a thousand dollars

My question is with e-bikes and e-scooters if replacement parts will be available for the given model in a few years...

Luckily my Ninebot ES4 kick-scooter over the four years and 4800km (3000 miles) costed me only the purchase of kick-scooter, glasses, mirror, backlight. I have free night electricity
