[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Man I wish the Tannus foam worked with your tires! I'm fairly certain you could've ran MUCH lower PSI in them without the risk of pinch flats and that would've given you an incredibly smooth ride.. plus probably made handling even better.

[@eduardodepaz83]

Great review video ! Now I'm considering buying me one.

[@oddtechman]

Nice upgrade and ride out there! Just be wary of your exposed brake rotor on your wheels.. it is very easy to prang on a rock and bend them. Always keep a tool kit and pliers etc to hand just in case you do prang and bend.. that way you can at least free the jam and wheel the unit back to car etc

[@mfeidler]

Great job off road riding that beast and picking some good lines! One big rock could take you out. Get some gloves you'll be happy you did. Thanks for the video .

[@DT-Nicky]

Having foam inserts would greatly reduce punctures. Off road tires do the trick for the Eagle One no doubt. For me I have only a few off road routes, so I opted for the Hybrid tires....ran over a staple and nothing. Thicken tires have their place for us riders. Nice off roading video, just watch out for glass they tend to blend in with the rocks.

[@lowillias]

You need a smaller tube with the Tannus liners.

[@scottvaughn6546]

I learned a real important lesson with my Eagle, NEVER EVER take one hand off the handlebar while moving. The wheel will immediately turn and you will go flying. Broke my damn leg thanks to that. I mountain bike my self, so taking one hand off is something I am real use to.

[@tomhaskin3850]

Yeah same thing happened to me I wasn't going very fast though but I just went to push my glasses up and it was over I'll never do that again

[@datyoungin4]

Note u can take a hand off 15mph or less I learned thankfully not the hard way

[@georgedunkelberg5004]

NOT IF THE MOTORCYCLE "LIKE STEERING NON ADJUSTABLE DAMPERS SHOWN ON A YT VIDEO?!" LEG SIGNALLING IS THE SAFEST ROAD METHOD? SECONDLY ARE YOU AWARE OF THE "UNIVERSALITY" OF MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURES' BRAKE LEVER-ACTIVATIONS? LEFT IS REAR BRAKE! RIGHT IS FOR THE FRONT TIRE-BRAKE?

What were your p settings, what 'gear' were you in, and did you ever do a hard brake test on the gravelly path? Would be interested to see. Love your vids man

[@tac6044]

If you want a true off road beat that is indestructible, huge and a great design to work with, what you want is the Arwibon Q30. Its made of steel, 54" long and 90lbs with 11" tires. The build quality is better than most premium scooters and it has a 2500w motor with a ton of potential. Upgrade the controller and battery and you will have one of the best off road scooters on the planet. A tank of a machine. The suspension design on it is tried and true and very effective. The best I've felt on a scooter. I removed about 10lbs of metal off mine and even on the puny stock battery its got great power. The design and build is better than most $3000+ platforms and with $500 in upgrades it will be amazing.

[@bradyessman434]

Question: After you put the offroad tires on the Eagle One, would you say there is enough clearance to put a 4" wide tire instead? I'm contemplating going up in width and if it would fit I would prefer to go wider since I have a fair amount of loose fine gravel and dirt around my house. Would grealy appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I clicked on the link below but it shows all different handlebars in there I just wanted to make sure I got the exact same ones

[@bryanjenshak8180]

how do those off road tires perform on the street? i was thinking about putting them on mine, but wasn't sure about the grip on concrete.

[@RK9Rides]

haven't tried them much on the street but I'll keep you updated as I use them more

[@yotarocket]

I ride a BMX bike with dirt tires on the street and it's perfectly fine. Ordered the Varla few days ago and just ordered the dirt tires for it. My riding will be about 80% street and 20% dirt.

[@blam7]

Nice video! I want to get a dual motor scooter so I can go off roading with it.

[@erikl85]

Your videos convinced me to buy the Eagle One, and I'm loving it so far! I bought the offroad tires from your link, and when they showed up they say "tubeless" on them. Did you have any issues using an inner tube with them?

[@nathanm5352]

I am looking for new tires and tubes for my Mantis. Currently on the street 10"x2.5" air tires with about 800 miles. I do mostly road and high speed riding but do some gravel and trails here and there.

[@23LWeezy]

Have you tried using any larger sized off-road tires?

[@165strat]

thanks, your reviews are the reason I purchased two Eagle ones......what was the total looped distance ? and the battery reading afterward ? Many of us could use that info as a gage for off-roading, I have a similar trail close by I want to try out.

[@dampryan10]

When going off road on a scoot should you air down the tyres for more traction like when going 4WD? Or is the puncture risk too great given the small tyrez?

[@georgedunkelberg5004]

WAY BITD WITH 1966's "JEEPS", A NEWS MAGAZINE REPORTED ON "HOW THEY DETERMINED THE BEST INFLATION FOR "JEEPS' INFLATIONS. A DOWN HILL POWER OFF- ROLL AND DEFLATION TO 3/4 OF THE STREET INFLATION'S HEIGHT! OF THE RIM ABOVE ROAD. YEILDED THE BEST TRACTION VERSUS THE INCREASE OF ROLLING RESISTANCE.

You had no problems with the cable lengths when swapping to the wider 50mm riser handlebars? Do you think putting on 90mm riser handlebars would be a problem?

Well since You won't wear gloves lol I'll keep watching and damn that scooter is making me really rwally change my mind on a Dualtron but I would for sure paint it all black and get solid tires for it along with a horn from Juiced Rides I got one on my Evercross and love it

[@StoicWhiz]

The offroad tires you got, I wanna order the same from Aliexpress but did you get the ones with 45 degree inner tube or the 90degree? I remember in an older video you discussed that issue with the air nozzle position and I want to make sure I make the right decision

[@RK9Rides]

You should go with 90 degree tube stems

[@emraheror6693]

You have a great taste in electric scooters man.

[@-joo3033]

I have softened my mantis pro suspension by adjusting the screws that hold the springs. I also run 3" wide 255X80mm offroad tires filled with cutted 2'5" wide stock tires,(once those wear out I'll try to run the next ones with tubeless valves and sealant), my next mod will be installing a 60W 5000lm front light and a 120W 12V DC-DC converter to run the light and to charge my phone (Maybe a wireless charging coil in my phone holder 🤔)

[@haroldanderson2781]

What tire pressure did you use and what gear did you mostly stay in? What pressure do you run in urban settings? Great video. The rear view was spectacular.

[@RK9Rides]

I was running the tires at about 50 psi but I will probably go a little lower in future for better grip off-road. I typically run my tires around that 50 psi mark in urban settings. I almost always use my scooters in gear 3. I think you have to use gear 3 off-roading to be able to handle hills and rocks and have the most control over changes of speed

[@joshperryppg]

Awesome video man. How long were you able to ride aggressively for?

@@yotarocket Ofcourse it will work! He can't get 10 inch tube to fit, because foam are taking some space and the tube is too long. If the tube is SHORTER like 8 or 6 inch, then it would fit.

[@mirkogruden8362]

@@yotarocket You don't understand. 8 inch tube would be too small if there is no foam inside the tire. If you put foam inside tire then the required diameter of the tube is LOWER than the tire diameter. If you put foam inside tire then 10 inch tube will NOT FIT (that is CLEARLY shown in the video)! But 8 inch tube will. And that was my point! Now read this twice, maybe you would finally understand.

[@mirkogruden8362]

@@yotarocket For your better understanding: draw 10 inch circle. That is the tire. Now put another circle 2 inch smaller that the previous circle. That is the foam (1 inch thick foam).
