Caroma Peak Electric Scooter Bike Review: The Best Of Both Worlds For UNDER $300!

[@OleSevers]

For everyone wondering. It’s extremely easy to adjust the brakes and common for new brakes to squeak

[@HobartsReviews]

Hayden it wasn't the squeak... It was the jerking back and forth.

[@williamcarroll5402]

I just bought it off my unc a d those breaks are deadly they try to stop last week. But u just pressed on them a little bit today scared the ish out of me. I can say I'd like more power but first gotta find the parts

​@HobartsReviews For some reason caroma went and pulled a switch on the display for both the P1 and P2 scooters as they no longer come equipped with the display shown in this video. I recently misplaced my keys for my caroma P1 scooter and have to order a replacement set as a result.

What scooter would you recommend for weather such as rain or snow to ride in, I know it’s not a preferable thing but as my only form of transportation I got no options. Plus what one would have solid tires?

[@HobartsReviews]

That's a tough one. Not sure if any are recommended in rain or snow but look for one with off road tires which will have more grip in the rain and snow. Also don't push it too hard and you should be fine. But I don't recommend it.. haha

[@taiirai]

I’m ordering one this week to get my back and forth to work

[@HobartsReviews]

Awesome! You will like it! Don't forget to use my link 😉

[@lynnglidewell7367]

I'm 5' 4" so I doubt the adjustable suspension seat would have much use to me. I'm elderly in my early 70s so shock absorbing features would be useful to me. I would use it for neighborhood driving on side streets no main highway travel except to cross over. Would this be recommend for me? The price is right.

[@HobartsReviews]

Yeah for sure. It's small and easy to ride. You can put the seat real low for you. The acceleration is not to fast and top speed is not too fast. Perfect for neighborhoods! Don't forget to use my link to buy 😉

[@juliedodge3482]

u should make a video with perosn riding it and groceries in basket to see how much can it hold thanks

[@Otterpop_17]

I have a question I’m planning to buy an electric scooter however i don’t know which one I should get. I’m either between Gotrax flex ultra e-scooter or a Caroma e-scooter but I don’t which Caroma e-scooter is the best? My budget is about 200-500 dollars. I’m probably going to get it from Amazon. Thank you for your time. Have a great day 😄

[@HobartsReviews]

They are both very comparable scooters. Caroma put out a new more powerful model of the peak and it has suspension so just compare specs and price.

[@Otterpop_17]

@@HobartsReviews can you send me the link of the new more powerful Caroma model please. Thank you

[@Rodane1234]

Hey thanks for the video, does this model lose a bit of charge while just sitting, I am looking for one that I can take to work a couple days a week but work 12 hour days and work is 7 miles out, If I keep it at grade 2 do you think it will be viable?

[@HobartsReviews]

No it's not going to lose charge just sitting as long and you turn off the scooter. No need to worry. 😉

[@Rodane1234]

@@HobartsReviews thanks I am going to get it I just which there was something I could charge that will charge it while at work like phones have a battery bank you can plug into and charge... Do you know of anything like that?

[@ChopCityEnt]

Can you get replacement parts for these scooter and how do you get them

[@HobartsReviews]

Yeah go to their website or you can contact customer service if you need a part.

[@senior_ranger]

Thanks, this is a great find.

[@HobartsReviews]

No problem my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@brandonmata3556]

Is it possible to get another battery to swap them out during trips or is there any way to extend the range via external power?

[@HobartsReviews]

No, the battery is built into the deck so there's no way to switch it out. If you're good at electrical stuff then I guess you might be able to somehow hardwire another battery. Aunt zip tie it somewhere in the basket possibly. But that's way over my head cuz I'm not an electrician LOL

[@karenmateo6616]

Is this good for like college to get around ? Or do you have any recommendations for e scooter to get around college ?

[@HobartsReviews]

Yes it's perfect for that! There are a few more in my channel that would be good for that. Like the Navi V40 or a few other single motor scooters.

[@maine-bill7276]

i live in maine and thinking about this model for putting around town. thoughts on a more hilly terrain? only a ride of about 1.5 miles to work each way but it's uphill at about 7 percent grade thanks for review!

[@HobartsReviews]

Hey, this should be ok for a 7 percent grade. I really like the hybrid scooter e-bike feel. Also make sure to get the adjustable seat if you are a taller person. Appreciate you my friend!

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

Mr. Hobart, how do you compare, rate the Caroma to the Gyroor electric scooters? From what I see I think the Gyroor are better?

[@HobartsReviews]

Yeah if you watch my Gyroor video You can see that I said that exact same thing. I think it's better than the caroma.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

@@HobartsReviews Thanks for the information! Yes, I watched your Gyroor video,,and its well done! You seemed to like the Gyroor C1S. I think the well designed seat and hight are a plus for Gyroor. I weigh 220 lbs and I'm wondering for an auxiliary transport for going suburban shopping 10/12/14 mile round trip with both flat and hilly roadways ,if I should go with the 500W or the 650 W? I do like the foot pedal rest and basket of the C1S@ 500 W, yet the C1 P with 650W offers slightly more power and travel distance, do you think that such is a major superior difference factor more than the C1S?

[@raykirkham5357]

Mechanical disc brakes on scooters and bikes have a tendency for the caliper to loosen in its mount. This is about the fifth time I have seen it on electtric bikes. A good ride safety protocol would include ALWAYS CHECKING THE CALIPERS FOR TIGHT MOUNTING BEFORE RIDING. It only takes a few seconds and few tugs on the mounting screws (usually with an allen wrench.

[@HobartsReviews]

Thanks for the tip but I checked that. I made sure everything was tight and it still was doing that.

[@LEGENDSOFVARIETY]

Hobart I was going to buy a go trax ultra flex should I buy this instead

[@HobartsReviews]

I haven't tried the Gotrax yet but they look similar and have about the same specs.

[@Ray-tw8wd]

Do we have to sit on it with balance, I mean, I don't know how to ride a bike, so do I have to learn first, or would this bike be auto adjustable? I purchased it

[@HobartsReviews]

Yes you ride it like a bike. So you need balance but it's pretty simple to learn.

[@Ray-tw8wd]

How do I learn to balance it?

[@Wildman-zh8lg]

What???????????

[@TheWhyGuyChannel]

which model would you suggest for a 200+ man with a long steep driveway?

[@HobartsReviews]

I'm a little over 200lbs and this would work except for the steep driveway. They may have put out a more powerful model since I made this video. Are you looking for something like this or to stand up or what? There's lots of options. I got lots of videos on a bunch of different stuff.

[@TheWhyGuyChannel]

@@HobartsReviews Thank you for responding. I just returned a 800w iX3 stand up scooter for two reasons: I had to push it up my steep dirt driveway, and two, once while going down-the tires locked up as if I instantaneously and aggressively put on both brakes. Obviously it sent me flying forward across the dirt and gravel. I'm an experienced biker from way back and I know what road rash is, which this demonstrated not-so-nicely. Due to my experience I'm a little cautious about another stand up unit, but still willing to try. Anyway, since I'm not getting any younger I'm open to just about anything that would work within (financial) reason.

[@demonsouls9509]

Thanks for the information

[@HobartsReviews]

No problem! Just posted a video on one just like it called the Gyroor C1S I like better.

[@Konnersaki]

Hey looks like this is the 350 watt motor version. The name of the listing is the same for all versions but the pictures tell you what size motor it is. The 500 watt (800peak) motor is a bit more and then they have a 1200 watt for even more

[@HobartsReviews]

You're incorrect. This is the 500 w version with the 800 w peak. The other version is 750 w motor with 1200 Peak. The peak doesn't make any difference. It's just a way for them to market it and make it sound like it's more powerful. So they have a 500 w version and a 750w version? That's it. This one is the 500 w version.

[@joshsussussington8823]

How’s it working 5 months later? And do you ride it often?

I sold it to a neighbor and it's still working just fine. I can't keep all of the scooters. Any bikes I review. I don't have enough room lol

It depends on how low it is but from empty it's like 5-6 hours

How was the shipping? I have a son who is six foot three. Would he be too big for it?

[@HobartsReviews]

Shipping was fine. Box came undamaged and the bike was secured inside with foam and other dunnage. I'm 5'11 and with the adjustable seat version I was okay. There was still a little bit more seat height that I could add so it should be okay for your son. I would stay away from the fixed seat seat version though because that seat is much lower than the adjustable seat. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

so..where does one get replacement parts like tires and tubes or batteries for this guy, the website has a nonworking accessories page. 🧐

[@HobartsReviews]

You email them and they will send you the part to fix it. Watch a KZbin video or they will give you instructions on how to replace the throttle. Not that big of a deal.

[@thejesterdog]

Had the same problem. Call the Amazon customer service number and press 1. After a while if the system can't find your account it'll send you to a live representative. Talk to them ,tell them about the throttle, they'll have the seller contact you and the seller will send youba new one. Apparently it's not rare for this to happen. Uncommon ,but not rare. They offer a 12 month warranty too, just for buying the product. So ,you should be good to get a new one if the scooter was bought recently. Amazon even said they'd give a refund to a friend of mine if the seller didn't get back to them within 2 days. The seller got back to me pretty quick,they'll ask for the model number should be on the side. .
