This 'Cheap' Electric Scooter is Terrifying

I tried a 2800w dual motor "fast" electric scooter. This is my first experience on a high power e-scooter.

High power scooters are fantastic. Especially when you need to go long distances and get up to traffics speed. A tip I can give is when you’re in dual motor learn towards the handle bars and when you’re breaking, learn back a little. 👍. Another tip for anyone riding on streets is face your feet away from where the cars are parked. If cars are parked on the right side your toes should be facing the left. This is so incase a person swings their door open you can easily tuck your arm to protect your ribs and absorb the hit.

Always fun to see someone experience a powerful electric scooter for the first time with an open mind while being cautious and responsible. I've been riding different models for over 3 years and use it for both commute and recreation. Drive defensively and wear safety gear and you'll continue to have a blast!

Rear foot goes on the back fender for brake leans. There's generally been zero benefit to range when using single motor with other scooters (tested a ton), so just keep it in dual/eco for max mileage. Wolf King GT is available and is about 2x that scooter in power/speed/wtf factor. The dual charge ports aren't for two batteries, it's one pack, the dual ports just allow you to charge quicker using two chargers.

Dude, your editing is so satisfying. Each cut ends exactly when it should! Fun review to watch

You are comically honest. Really enjoy your thoughts on this electric scooter experience...:) My first electric scooter was the 72v over 100lb. Kaabo Wolf King. I rode that thing for about 4 miles, and then sold it to a coworker the next week. Made my upgraded Sur Ron seem tame and safe. Great review. Thank you

Just an update: I just received mine today and it was not the MS668 Display. It was TF-100, the throttle was pretty responsive. Plenty of torque and so much fun to ride. Thanks for the video input.

the way this thing just cruises on the road beside cars is wild. If I got passed by a scooter I wouldn't hold it together

[Risible]

Another excellent video. Small diameter wheels have a tendency to wash out around corners in dirt or slippery terrain. That's why dirt bikes have 21" front wheels. Be careful on this thing!

Around 50mph + is when these scooters become pretty freaking wild. I ridden motor scooters and got the chance to ride a Teverun fighter. The take off and speed was too much fun like no other scooter I’ve ridden. The settings on the scooter were moderate at first so I figure it was decent nothing crazy until I realize it was set on a speed and throttle limiter.

It's an off-brand Zero 10X. I've got one from Envirorides and they call it the R1+. Mine's pretty much the same except it has 1600w motors, Nutt hydraulic brakes, Dunlop bearings and uprated battery. You can fix the speed discrepancy in the 'P' settings, the wheel size will be set wrong. In the P settings you can set the strength of the regen braking, and also whether you want a gradual build of speed or launch control where it dumps the full power to the wheels as soon as you press the throttle.

I will buy anything labeled "terrifying". 😈😈😈

Really enjoyed when he disclosed the company sent this to him.

Your forearm is going to wear down very fast and start to burn with your dashboard/throttle placement. I know this is your first ride. You are going to want to adjust the throttle so it is almost even with the handlebar on the other side where your finger naturally would rest. The more you have to tilt your hand up the faster it is going to wear out on you and your muscles start burning.

Also, you mentioned your foot space.lead with your left foot up near the front of the deck and actually kick your back foot up on the footrest over the mudguard on your back wheel. You want to be in a ninja stance nice and comfortable so you can bend your knees as you roll over different terrain. You will have electronic brake assist in your P-settings so look up how to adjust your P-settings on the dashboard and you will find the setting to adjust brake assist, usually from 0-5. DO NOT TRY A HIGH SETTING ON YOUR BRAKE ASSIST TO START. It can be extremely powerful and when you pull the brakes you will just feel the mechanical engage but then the electronic brakes will grab and almost throw you over the handlebars. It takes some serious getting used to and I actually mostly ride with that on zero. When you are riding at speeds and you are getting ready to brake your scooter you will want to lower your butt down and kind of pulll back on your handlebars. This lowers your center of gravity and allows for the smoothest stop. Obviously the motion of your body will want to continue going forward when you break so bending your knees and lowering your
your center of gravity will work in keep your body in the perfect position for a stop. Once you do it you will see it becomes naturally comfortable.

Modes 1, 2 & 3 are top speed limiting modes...you can change the P settings to decrease the acceleration for a nicer smoother take off (that's pretty much how these generic dual motor scooters work) always ride in dual motor as they share the load, less motor heat and more power efficient. Single motor is only efficient when going really slow (jogging speed or less).

As you found out the hard way, Scooter dimensions are designed around the average 5'10" 165 lb person. There is some adjustability in some, but the deck dimensions are what they are. You should give serious consideration to the Dualtron City scooter. Great big wheels compared to everything else. A real quality machine that will give you 45 mph comfortably and in control. All scooters should do away with the small wheels unless they are needed for a specific purpose. Larger wheels are more stable, more comfortable and I think look better. When I see hyper scooters with these tiny little wheels, I laugh. They're silly looking. These should not be confused with kick scooters

As an overweight person, when I decided I wanted a scooter, I did a thorough research and decided on Yakasuma Cheetah. This bad boy has 1600W engine on both wheels, making it a total of 3200 and up to 5600 with turbo. When fully charged, there is no surface or incline it can't carry me on. It's an absolute beast of a machine and I once did 70 kph (45 mph) and it felt like if I pushed more it could have gone faster but I started feeling tremors and it freaked the living daylights out of me so I slowed down. The book says it can go up to 95 kph (60 mph) and has a range up to 100 km (62 miles). It supposedly can climb 60 degrees (never tested that steep), and can carry up to 200 kg (440 lbs). It weighs 35 kg (78 lbs). It is my first scooter. I bought it with love, and I'm riding it with love. I have no intention of changing it. I could, down the line, have it painted. It has some parts painted in red which I'm not totally vibing. But besides that, it's mine for life!

You need one made from r tall people to be comfortable. I saw a 7 foot person with a KTM modded to be super high. Makes it safe for him

For your first electronic scooter video, YOU KILLED IT!!! Thanks!

I Have a Widewheel W6 It’s 2000 Watts. Front and Rear Hub Motors. Like 52V 23 Ah Says 40MPH to 40 Mile Range. Depending on Road type, weather, Braking and Stoping Frequently, Single Mode Duel Mode. With Gear 1, 2, 3 in between. Duel Suspension With Front Disk Break and Rear Oil Brake + EBS. Also available is Optional Seat. It’s Comfortable and has a bit of Suspension Built into the Seat.
The Amazon Add you posted shows the Scooter you were riding but no Price tag. Mine like Almost a Year ago was going for $1, 400+$100 for the Seat. So $1, 500 and Tax. But it’s worth it to me cause it’s my own Electric Transportation. Long Winded Message but worth it to Tell you all the Goodies. I left out a few Surprises for you to find out on your Own. Thanks for sharing.

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

15:49 Not enough gear ! Agreed. That is heavy enough to cause your legs, knees and ankles some horrendous injury on the way down if you crash it... I'm from the EUC world, where armour is even more important (just 1 wheel etc etc) but I wouldn't get on that thing without pretty much the full motoX gearset... thanks for review - very informative and enjoyable to watch...
