2020 Sunra Robo-S walkround ⚡// Introducing Usernamedad to the Electric scooter! Was he sold?!👨🏻

[@bobedwards4223]

Nice the vids keep coming hence the shocking weather great little run around and a nice commuter 🏍 👍

[@tedsalmon2533]

You and your dad are great! Who knew a scooter could be so cool

[@johncourt9580]

H Kate, After this review, I can see these selling like hot cakes! and loved your Dad's input, he didn't want to stop, he made a great impression. It's nice looking, practical, with good performance and range, and two batteries, what is there not to love! I'm 80, and my Motorcycling days ended in the 60's, but i can see myself having fun on one of these, you're an ace with your reviews, you and Dad are a great team!

[@KeithO29]

When they first started to introduce these little electric runabouts here in Canada, around 13 years ago, my daughters boyfriend, now husband, worked for the company that imported them. So he gave one to my daughter. It got a lot of attention, i used to run to the shops on it to pick up bread and milk and such. Are they the future, i believe they are. Would i trade in my gas for electric, no, not yet, i like the sound of an engine. Keep the videos coming, love to see my old haunts.

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Hola Federico, yo estoy ahí viendo si cambiar mi moto por esta misma, 90% convencido. Cómo te está resultando? Gracias, abrazo!

[@tufrof]

@@mr_crisi perdon por la respuesta tardia, recien veo tu posteo. Yo la compre más para divertirme y pasear que por necesidad y creo que todavia estos productos no tienen la confiabilidad de las motos a combustible. A las dos semanas tuve que cambiar la computadora por una falla, fue sin costo y lo solucionaron sin más y de buena manera, pero me quedo una sensacion de que el producto no es super confiable. A la fecha ya le hice 700km (dos mese de uso). En general estoy contento pero creo que le falta mejorar en confiabilidad.

Man, I love the UK and I think the UK motovlogging community is tops, but that English Gray Weather! No wonder Teapot and TMF go to Spain so much! lol God bless ya, girl. I think 2 things need to be improved for E-Bikes: Range and Infrastructure. UsernameDad is developing his own fan base - I see a a channel in his future!

[@norriemasson4080]

Nice one Kate, the Electric Bikes are definitely on there way, hopefully not as quick as the cars mind you. The grin on UND face said it all, and to be honest after watching this video the looks of wee Scoot has actually grown on me. Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year, stay safe out there

[@paulwheeler470]

COOL 😎🛵 Perfect little run about to do local errands. You could almost start a nice little pick up delivery service, whilst enjoying what we love to do, ride motorcycles. Beats being stuck in the Office BLAH LAH BLAH!!!!...........Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!! 👍😃

[@FloatingIdeasonanarrowboat]

That's what I call a real world review. What a game dad! Thinking about one of these for my narrowboat. Might need a bit of angle grinding to remove some of the deck rails to get it aboard. In my early 20's my only transport was a CB100. It would just about make 60 mph, but only if you did the points within a few days. Never ridden a scooter though. I'll have to do a test ride to see how it feels.

[@jhellnowh]

Unfortunately I think electric is inevitable Kate, but they need to improve the batteries and range, plus price!

[@cosmodoc]

Not unfortunate at all!! I have switched to electric after riding petrol bikes up to 1300cc for 30 years, and I love them, will never go back!

[@jhellnowh]

@@cosmodoc I said unfortunately due to the fact that we have no alternative to electric at the moment. I’m a touring motorcyclist, who covers 300-400 miles in a day when touring and I don’t see any real improvement in range. The alternative I mention is hydrogen, but I hear nothing about this in the motorcycle press. I live in a large town and there are no charging points at all. The other unfortunate issue is the price and it’s a real issue for most people.

[@cosmodoc]

@@jhellnowh forget about hydrogen, this will never become a viable reality for cars, let alone bikes for lots of reasons. It will only be used for HGV’s etc. Do you ride 300-400 miles without any break? I certainly did not, when I rode from Manchester to Marrakesh! And some of the Zero bikes can do up to 100-120 miles on one charge and with a rapid charger charge quite quickly. Ranges, charge speed and purchase costs will be much better in a few years time, as will be the charge network. For my needs, they are already sufficient. And at about 70p for 100 miles if I charge at home it is a no -brainer!

[@WestyorkshirestRS]

Our kate smashing it again for people who are looking into this kind of thing and the next gen of upcoming riders 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 always perfect and informative

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Yes indeed, what a nifty machine. I'm waiting for the next leap in battery technology, I need more RANGE.

[@nigeltankard6977]

I defiantly like the idea of an electric community bike, it makes complete sense. Thanks for another great review

[@TisMeJohnDee]

Hi Kate thank you for all your hard work and for making this year a bit more bearable . Happy Christmas mate to you and yours, heres hoping next years better.

[@UsernameKate]

Thank you so so much. That is lovely!! I really appreciate that, you've no idea!!! Have a wonderful Christmas yourself! Roll on a better 2021 🤞❤

[@barryjmarling]

Not sure “at present “ about electric bikes,but electric scooters are ideal as the range really suits there needs. Only thing I wonder is what’s the insurance compared to a petrol equivalent? Great to see UsernameDad again,and great vlog.👍🏻

[@warwickstingray]

Had a look at a few quotes and with no no claims as I’m planning to return to 2 wheels the prices were a little higher than petrol 125cc but not by much. Fully comp came out in the low 200s and third party F&F around 170 quid. I am 40 and live in Somerset. Full no-claims and it seems to be just as silly cheap as any commuter bike. Far less insurers to choose from is the only downside though and outside a chosen few the quotes are stupid. Think cossie in the 80s 🤦‍♂️

[@nightster6378]

Another great vid, I'm over 60 been riding on the road for 47 years love the ICE but hoping to someday own an electric bike with the performance of your average 1000cc bikes and I think they will be here sooner than many think. Electric motor, battery and inverter technology are advancing fast. I think as with cars the cost will be prohibitive for some time.

[@johnwelbers4248]

😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 cool and drizzle in bc too 😯 here in Pacific Northwet 🌧 so you not alone

[@leewatkeys9065]

Another informative video UNK, although I rarely travel more than 100 miles in one hit, it’s nice to know you can and with limited range it puts me off considering an electric bike although I imagine they are fun with low down pull on tap. For me we need to have an infrastructure where you pop into a fuel station give them your flat battery, buy a recharged replacement to plug in and off you go: like when you change your calor gas bottle. The industry needs to adopt same size batteries (more of them for bigger capacity bikes). So many different types of AA batteries but all fit the appliance. Without this, how will people who live in flats or can’t park one a driveway be able to charge their vehicles? Keep up the good work and ride safe 👍🏻

[@davidl1380]

Hey Kate, love the videos...i'm from Bolton but live in Adelaide Australia now. its great to see places such as Rivington in your videos. seeing the Chequerbent roundabout in this vid really got me reminiscing, its many a year since i drove down the A6....keep up the great content. stay safe.

[@captainlockheed]

I love the look of the NIU NQi GTS PRO but you lose under seat storage so this scoot makes more sense plus a bit quicker than the Niu.

[@natjzam]

I just bought the same exact bike, if I had seen your review I would have bought it sooner! Its really useful for my daily commute, the top speed is good enough for urban riding, good brakes. The only thing I would complain about it the slightly firm front suspension since we have rough roads here. Otherwise its a real treat!

[@Chijousaikyo]

Great Video, I am obsessed with electric mobility. Gas bikes are toys to enjoy but for running errands and commuting I just cannot think of a better option plus don't polute. Oh, BTW Kate, will you review the C Evolution?

[@trevormartin5459]

Brilliant.Loved that little scooter.Whenever someone develops a longer lasting battery electric vehicles will be much more viable.I think Dyson are working on it now.However for shorter journeys it is brilliant.

[@ianrussell2816]

Enjoyed the video Kate , guess I can't say what I think till I tried it out . But I am a petrol head through and through and like to hear my gsx r 750 on song with its nice scorpion 🦂 pipe

[@pollekepmtb]

Nice “vibe” Kate when you bring in de fam, you’re dad seems a nice guy. Nowdays you almost feel a criminal when there are fumes comming out of the exhaust 😂 can you roadtest some more electric bikes, “real” bikes instead of electric scooters? Like adventure bikes for example? Two thumbs up for this one. And waiting for the next. Ride save and happy holidays to you, you’re friends and family. Let’s hope that we regain our freedom next year.🏍

[@calknight1666]

To answer the insurance question, I ran it through compare the market with my details and got a quote more then my 600 bandit costs me !!!

Hi u.n.kate I like it an the fact you can charge it an keep it topped up no petrol trips to the garage just charge and go nice would definitely use this bike 4 work no wake in the naybers early in the morning very good 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌🤗🤗

[@bshortt4244]

For it's intended purpose... If I lived closer to town, it would work for me... It's right on the cusp right now, just a bit more range and it would work.

[@garyshuttleworth3459]

love the star wars reference

[@ElliotDooleysmith]

I've ridden the Livewire. It was a lot of fun, I think they are the future, but more so than with cars, batteries need to be lighter with better range. Motorcycles are quite defined by their noise, that is something I think I would miss, it is nice to hear and feel the rumble of an engine under you. But, just because I like the sounds and smells of an ICE doesn't mean they should be around forever, the future of the planet trump's my likes. I can easily get used to riding/driving electric. Only thought is safety, it's sketchy enough on a motorcycle with cagers not paying attention and I've got a Hella loud Harley. I think, like you said, it's great to have the choice. Motorcycles in general are far more eco friendly than any cars, largely due to less materials in manufacturing, so the offset of carbon is less. I think a great future would be all electric cars, no fumes in your faces when you ride up behind them. And a mix of electric and ICE motorcycles. Each have their positives and negatives, so a world with both is great. But would be nice to get some consistency with chargers. Imagine pulling up to a petrol station with 6 different nossle types... Urrgh.

[@jopaco85]

I don't think ya dad wanted to give that scooter back Kate 😁 he was having way to much fun zippin up and down the street 😀👋

[@dominicthm]

Dad makes a good point about insurance, I have just ordered an electric CPX, have only managed to get three quotes with the majority of insurers saying that they will not cover electric bikes. Three quotes (fully comp) Bennetts £1500!!!!!! Lexham £520 with £400 excess MCE £372 but pointless quote as excess was £1925. Hopefully more insurers begin to offer cover.

[@momagic8912]

I’m the same. The insurance costs are certainly turning me off an electric moped. It’s just not worth that extra cost for commuting against a combustion engine.

[@Fernando90054]

It is nice in deed! I’m sure it will take a while to take over the market. It’s something of a near future . No one realistically see this, as an alternative to a petrol engine machine but it maybe gets its place in the future. Not for a long time. I think the electric has to evolve a lot to be serious competition towards the traditional vehicles. Nothing compares to the sound of a petrol engine, mainly in bikes world. But it is practical and cute.

[@HippoDrones]

Although the little ones are not my thing, I very very much want to embrace the electric motorcycles, I just can't see them being viable for my real world use just yet, am happy to be proven wrong on that though. I'd love a green laner, but getting stuck out on the lanes could be an issue, I'd love an electric tourer, but I am not convinced I could travel as far per day. They currently make the world larger, when up until now, all vehicles have been making the world smaller. Once all the motorcycle haunts have charging ports in each parking bay, it will make it all far more useable for folk to have fun rides. Commuting is already doable, but play rides are a bit of time away I think. Hahaha, ya Dad sayin it is a Stormtrooper bike, it kinda is, certainly feels a bit sci-fi :D

[@vazza7504]

Love the way your dad took to it so quickly considering his age and the pigeon hole that people selling this new tech perceive his and my age group to be technophobe and so against Chang. I myself think this and other vehicles full electric, hybrid, diesel and petrol others too including bio fuel gas, they all have a roll to play in future transport needs, instead of trying to smash us into submitting to wholesale changes in the way we fuel our transport needs why not just let it happen naturally over time even if it takes a few decades. Full electric vehicles for me would work for short journeys over a working week and the odd run out at the weekend. Hybrid tech has come on leaps and bounds lately and could be a great buffer between fossil fuel burning vehicles and full electric has we move forward in time to a day when full electric vehicles can do much greater distance on a single charge, bearing in mind the need for a possible hybrid diesel engine for truck transport, rail freight transport, ships would probs still need full diesel engines for the power needed to shift goods and people around the world. Sad fact, all governments don't do common sense so are pushing for mass change in the next ten years. :-( great video. Thanks, vinny.

I think bikes are more suited to electric than cars as exceleration is more fun than top end and you use it more often and most trips are within battery range but I would still want a petrol second bike for the sound and top speed

[@kevindarkstar]

Just a quick one how tall are you, I'm just wondering from the point of view of you sitting on it at the front of the video 😁

[@stewy62]

The green argument for electric vehicles is....let’s not go there but I can see the attraction of electric on a scooter where it won’t pollute in a city (no CO2, but breathable dust will still come off the tyres and brakes, again let’s not go there). What is undisputed is that Internal combustion engines are thermodynamically useless and produce such limited torque that they need a gearbox, unlike electric motors. Nevertheless character, engine noise and the enjoyment of changing gear is a bit part of why I ride, I’m glad I’m old enough not to have to contemplate being forced to ride electric in 20 or 30 years time. Petrol ⛽️ head until the end 🇬🇧🏍

[@grumpsrides6074]

Riding in winter, or poor weather conditions, 'can', improve your riding as you get used to the bike not having as much traction etc as normal. As long as you clean your bike regularly, and use something like ACF50, to prevent corrosion, it should be ok. I ride all year, by choice, and use ACF50 and demon shine to protect the bike. As far as electric bikes go, yes its the future, but the battery technology isn't there yet. My biggest issue is: Where does the electricary come from to charge your vehicle? Fossil fuel power stations?! Nuclear power stations?! Not very environmentally friendly. Better battery technology and a greener way of charging, and its a winner, IMO. But I still prefer petrol bikes, i'm old school......... Grumps.
