Thanks for all the amazing videos and comprehensive tests. I have a couple of suggestions - (most) people don't buy e-scooters for speed. If they wanted speed they'd buy a motorcycle! People buy e-scooters for the mobility. So they can easily throw it in the back of car to take to the trail. Or carry it into the bus for daily commute. In addition to speed, you may want to focus on weight of scooter. Is it easy to fold and put in the back of car? Maybe add a "trunk stow" test. Also, please do talk about customer support. Is it easy to get repaired? Does the company have physical service centers? Is it easy to contact customer support? Does customer support even exist? I think talking about these will force the companies to improve their products and after sales support. Once again, thanks for the in-depth reviews and keep up the good work.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Great input! We were featuring a trunk test in our reviews for a while, but it didn’t get that much retention. Lately I’ve just had a small section where I talk about portability, including what it’s like to fold and its weight relative to other scooters. We really need to do a best-lightweight, best-portable, or best-last mile scooter video again. We had plans for lots of “Best” content this year, but got overrun with scooters to review and never updated some of our favorite videos. I’ve also started talking about the ESG reliability score, which takes into account several factors including parts availability and whether they have a US service center. I’m especially concerned with the ability to buy parts, because when all else fails, that’s the last line of defense between keeping something on the road or recycling an otherwise good scooter. Every time I speak with a new company I bring up the issue of spares availability, and remind them how important it is. I wish I had a way to objectively measure customer service and warranty response. I’ve called up companies who have bad reputations, but found that unreliable, because in one case, the company I had heard the most bad things about picked up the phone right away, but it probably isn’t a good measure of the final outcome. Thanks again so much for your feedback. We hear you! And thanks for your support! -Paul

[@aj8044]

Very impressive. Thanks for your uploads on reviewing many scooters out there. I'm about to do a video on the Foholo F15 Escooter I purchased. Hopefully my camera editing clears up. It has 5000 watts of dual motor/ 2500 each. It provided me a range of 34 miles by riding 15mph. I still had 3 out of 5 bars left. Even traveling 25+ mph on mostly very high inclines, I managed to get 35-40 miles of range. It advertises 55 miles range. Still testing lol.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Definitely make sure to run it all the way to empty if you're doing a range test. It's impossible to say how many miles are left.... unless it's zero. :-) Every range test I do ends with pushing. Pro tip: 1) pick a good loop to ride. 2) make sure there's a high part and a low part 3) park at the low part 4) use a device other than the scooter to measure range (sometimes the scooter turns off and won't turn back on at the end, and always the odometer is wrong by at least 5 to 10% sometimes much more! Have fun testing! -Paul

Thanks for reviewing another Varla scooter. I own the Varla Eagle One 2.0 and have over 1000 miles on it. This 3.0 has some nice upgrades but I don't know if the $500 extra is worth it to me. My 2.0 is still going strong and is a stable comfortable scooter to ride in my opinion. Love your channel my scooter collection continues to grow I will have 5 scooters this week!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

Really glad to see Varla being reviewed! My 2.0 is a tank. I’m a big dude and it just feels like an extension of myself. I’m curious if the wider tires affect carving. The tire profile on the 2.0 do not lend themselves to carving well.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

These should be the same width as the ones on your V2.0 When I look at the Varla site the tire spec looks the same for 2.0 and 3.0 I like the way these tires corner, despite being semi-off-road tires. They feel stable when leaned over. -Paul

[@zjgw72]

Hey Paul thanks for another great review. what's it like to ride with the wide deck?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I didn’t actually bolt it on. I just test fitted it to show how my feet fit. I’m stepping carefully in that shot to keep the board from flipping up and falling off. It feels like it would be nice to ride, but I’m not sure I could get over the look of it. -Paul

[@happydappyman]

One thing I almost never see mentioned in these reviews is how the throttle feels on any of the scooters. A lot of time is spent on braking, which is going to be very consistent between scooters with the same type of brakes anyway. Meanwhile throttle feel varies massively between scooters and almost isn't mentioned at all. For example, most Dualtron scooters have what feels like an on/off switch for a throttle, while Apollo scooters (2 random examples) have a very smooth and linear feel. It's a pretty important aspect of the ride which seems to get ignored. For me personally, a good throttle is extremely important because I'm often riding with friends and it's nice to be able to maintain a constant and sometimes slow speed. Meanwhile I couldn't care less that one scooter gets to 30mph 0.4 seconds faster than another one, and being a part of a large scooter group in my city, I don't know who does.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Noted! Thanks for the feedback.

No need to lift up stairs or put inside car, I made custom rack for tow hitch when I want to take it somewhere. And I'm sorry I ment kaboo mantis king gt not the wolf.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Oh nice! I always think of Wolf King first, since it was the first to use that name. The rack sounds amazing. The Mantis is going to win on performance because it's a higher voltage scooter, but the RoadRunner has the advantage of a removable battery and those guys have a nice service center right in the middle of the country. I really need to spend more time on the RS5. Mitchell reviewed that one, but it's an important scooter and I should go put some miles on it, so I can give better answers about X vs the RS5. -Paul

I see that you’re using the DJI GPS remote controller to put the mph graphic on your video… I also bought one myself about 2-3 months ago,. Just recently about less than a month ago, I noticed that some of the graphics that I was able to use back when I bought it, were not available anymore, are you having the same problem? Is this an issue with the remote? Or did DJI change something on the remote? Or am I doing something wrong?

That's one of the problems we've run into with Nanrobot and the reason we haven't done any reviews in a long time is their distribution keeps changing in the US.

I've heard people like the front brake on the right side is this a left hand rider thing? Cuz I'm using to my front brake being on my left from riding my mountain bike

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Almost all electric scooters have the front brake on the right. Motorcycles and dirt bikes do the same. I’m not sure why electric scooters chose to more or less standardize to be like motorcycles rather than bicycles. To me it is an advantage to right handed people, as the front brake, by far, has the bulk of the stopping power on a 2 wheeled vehicle. Honestly I think it would be easier for most riders if they did front brake on the left, since more people ride bikes than motorcycles. But after thirty years riding and racing motorcycles, I’m grateful they usually put the front brake on the right :-) -Paul

Does running dual motors more often actually promote longevity on dual motor scooters?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes, and better range if you can ride it at the same power level you would be using running single motor. Unagi did a bunch of research on this through their multi-thousand-unit rental fleet and got the actual numbers. The numbers show up in their app as predicted range. The longest range on an unagi is gear 2 dual motor. -Paul

[@d1of1c243]

@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide oh wow I was worried that dual motor would use more power to keep the same speed well I'm definitely using dual motor more often now

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Nice! Yeah, it's always tricky for me to talk about because dual motors gives you the opportunity to use more power, but if you keep speed down it saves electricity using both motors. It makes sense because motors and controllers run more efficiently with lower loads. -Paul

This is a great subject. We don’t track apps in our database, so I have to really think about this one. Almost all scooters with apps function without the app. Sometimes you lose one or two functions (Dualtron). I’d say Segway and NIU are the only ones I can think of that more or less lock you out if you don’t use the app. Apollo scooters are pretty good at functioning with or without, because the default controls are set correctly as they arrive. They also have signals. I think you could use an iPad to run scooter apps on WiFi for initial set up, but I’ve never tried it. I should check it out. -Paul

[@2headband990]

Is there a scooter in this price range that has waterproofing?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Not really. It feels strange to say that. The most water resistant scooters will be rated IP66 like most of Apollos new scooters. But ultimately none of them are as waterproof as my motorcycle where I know I can ride through the worst storms day after day after day and nothing will go wrong. It’s still a risk at this point daily riding electric scooters in the rain as water damage isn’t covered under warranty by any of the brands available in the us. Would I still try commuting in the rain? I might. But I’d be on the lookout for water intrusion and how to prevent it on any scooter. We used to be more bullish on riding in the rain. If you only ride in light rain and stay out of puddles most scooters will do ok, but there’s just no guarantee. Yet. -Paul

[@The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

If all three of those tires are 10" why are they taller as they go across? It looks like an 8-in tire, a 9-in tire and a 10-in tire with wider widths. I don't like that they put the brakes on the sides that they would with a bike. You got to put the rear on the left side with an e-scooter when you got the throttle on your right hand. I was a little confused when I first got my 1st e-scooter because I was so used to riding a bike and having the left hand be the front brake and the right hand be the rear brake, but with an e-scooter it's got to be the opposite. It feels so much better with the left hand being the rear brake and the right hand being the front brake when your throttles on your right hand.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It’s weird how they spec diameters. I wish they would spec wheel diameter like motorcycles. I really have to keep reminding myself about the brakes because I tend to grab a ton of brake sometimes and have crashed other scooters because I forgot they were backward.

Paul it's no where in the manual but there's a way to tighten up the steering. Maybe you can include that. They aren't getting back to me as often since buying it

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Do your bearings have play in them? They ship a tool with the scooter that looks like a shock-tool, but it's for adjusting the steering bearings. Loosen the top ring, then turn the bottom one about 1/6th to 1/3 of a turn or until it feels like the play has gone away, then tighten the top ring again. Tightening the top ring will add slightly more pressure to the bearings too. In a pinch, you can use a hammer and an aluminum punch to adjust the ring nuts, but it will probably leave a mark if they're also made out of aluminum. My bearings were perfectly adjusted. I've paused my testing and shifted to testing another scooter while I wait to see if app connectivity will be cured. I don't want to test it and miss some important app settings, and right now I'm not able to fully control the app. -Paul

@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide ya I had the same problem with the app and bluetooth. They sent me a new display that has been updated so the mph at least is supposed to be accurate. Stem has zero play on it but thanks for the tip!

If this was a 46-50mph scooter it would have been a hit

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Here are the only two scooters we've tested in this price range which we've verified to hit those speeds. -Paul Solar P1 Pro kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3jFpI16qL-Uhc0si=ANDzj9SIl0q-QWCs Wolf Warrior X kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4TEoGZonNJ3a80si=1LgkDqT5eq6iQyCB

makes me upset all varla had to do was make this a 45-50 mph scooter and it would have been the perfect in town scooter smfh has everything besides speed I don't understand varla

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Do you spend much time over 40 mph, or are you looking for acceleration and you find that scooters which can go 46 to 50mph have the kind of acceleration you like?That I can relate to! Whenever I get over 40mph on a scooter, I usually start hearing that little voice in my head saying "dude, are you sure you want to be doing this right now?" -Paul

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide yes I do I live in a big area big roads and driver are usually going 40-45 mph I have the v2 and I have the eagle one pro all I'm saying is varla could have done better with the v3 but yeah I utilize a lot of my speed I mean the v3 is cool but they could have done better

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide lol I can relate to that but I always watch my surroundings before I speed

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for the feedback. If you haven't invested in some serious riding gear, I'd definitely recommend it. I don't always show it on camera, but whenever I do high speed testing I'm wearing an Aerostich (a $1,300 motorcycle commuting suit). I've road-tested one at 65mph and it worked flawlessly. I still made it to work on time tha day! -Paul

Cable management is pretty awful.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Do you mean the front brake cable? The funny thing about that. I didn't notice it while riding it, but when I did the suspension shot, I was watching the playback, paused it and was like: "what's that cable". That angle makes it really stick out. -Paul

[@thecamlayton]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I wrote that about the handlebar situation... Afterwards I saw the battery compartment. Yikes. It seems there is a trend of companies improving cable management, some not so much. I've seen many cheaper scoots on your channel nail this. Maybe I'm being too picky, bit it is an eye sore, IMO.

[@ElectricScooterGuy]

Great video as always!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much! -Paul

[@ElectricScooterJuice311]

Great Electric Scooter!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MrSpeedyduck]

I just hope the custom wooden deck would have been a hard aluminum steel. Wood gets brittle amd break overtime

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching and commenting! I guess it depends on the wood. I have a 40 years old skateboard in my garage. -Paul
