About time i have other high power scooter riders and owners i been waiting 13 years for this moment THANK YOU Alien ride's much love and respect for helping to fight global warming and support eco-friendly vechicles while learning advanced technology in electrical propulsion systems most importantly I'll unite with you All soon- Optimus Prime Technologies

[@AlienRides]

I am a newcomer to this compared to you, still learning lots all the time, but excited for these new developments for sure!

[@NoirMatter]

Great review and smoooth shots!

[@one-of-us9939]

The camera was great the quark seemed smooth and the scooter was moving... bravo! Raw footage accomplished!🥳👍

[@AlienRides]

Thanks. Sort of worked, but added complexity and not sure it added much. Not sure I’m going to be using it much more.. we’ll see.

[@vtrad]

Great video! What’s the name of the motorcycle mount?? Thanks.

[@AlienRides]

Thank you! This is the one that I used: amzn.to/2u0cCg4

[@vtrad]

Thanks!

[@blubnugs7]

You’re putting so many people at risk riding like that - unbelievable.

[@nonnegotiable2777]

Go big or go home. Max speed baby!

[@jake505710]

Non Negotiable that wasn’t even 1/2 speed

[@AlienRides]

Also my FRIEND who is riding this is riding a bit crazy through the city isn't he? He's breaking all kinds of laws running those stop signs. Should I tell him to calm down a bit? 😮

[@stevenmarquez4476]

Yes, he is giving pev users a bad name being so reckless.

[@Genkuro]

Most definitely you should.

[@one-of-us9939]

You're there, I wasn't, so it's not easy for me to say reckless... but helping another rider live to ride another day is the important thing. I'm not always willing to slow down today, but instead of being the indestructible knowitall teenbuck who would just go faster I found out... that's why humans made racetracks! Let's make tracks for scoots!

[@AlienRides]

Love it, would love to see some scooter racing!

[@stevenmarquez4476]

@@AlienRides Yes a scooter race like what you guys did with the eucs would be great.

[@rickdeckard9810]

Excellent footage thanks

[@AlienRides]

Rick Deckard Thank you! What do you ride?

[@andygreat423]

is that the ABS shaking your camera every time you brake?

[@AlienRides]

That’s probably correct, I’ve turned it off sense, but the abs definitely caused the whole scooter to brake with the pulsing brakes. I mostly just use a chest cam these days since i find the camera angle to be more appealing.

[@downswingplayer9712]

I'm trying to choose between the words exciting and terrifying.

[@AlienRides]

I think there's nothing wrong with using both at the same time. 😬

[@downswingplayer9712]

@@AlienRides I literally just found out about these 10 minutes ago I never knew there was anything like it. I was wondering could I use it as a proper mode of transport, thanks, you answered most of my questions in the comment section already. I hope this doesn't turn in to a repeat of the drone incident. I found drones on KZbin and bought one the next day had it two weeks and then decided I needed the goggles all in I spent 1750 euro. That was only a few months ago and now I've clicked on this.

[@AlienRides]

​@@downswingplayer9712 electric scooters like the Dualtron Thunder are a really great form of transport, and a ton of fun. I'm sorry you've found my videos, it can definitely be a very slippery slope money-wise, but totally worth every cent! 😅 There are cheaper ways to start though, like the wide wheel/10x, lots of great options out there to have fun. Thunder is the very top-end and overkill for most. At the end of the day though, these are much cheaper to operate than cars/gasoline, and will pay for themselves over time.

[@downswingplayer9712]

@@AlienRides The first one I saw was the turbowheel lightning but as I looked into it more I would have concerns about the battery. I would probably be doing 35KM a day 5 days a week I think the Thunder would be more suited to that kind of use. Rain would be a big issue I live in Ireland, I hadn't thought about it until it came up in the comment section. I don't regret buying the drone I was showing it to my friend for the first time the other day it reminded me how cool it is. I respect anyone starting up a KZbin channel, good luck with that.

[@AlienRides]

@@downswingplayer9712 Yeah, sounds like you'll want a 24ah battery or larger, the Thunder, Dualtron 3, or Speedway V could all be good options for you. Most scooters are ok in the rain, but you might want to add some additional silicon sealant to be 100% sure. Drones are sweet, I'm planning on getting one soon, got my eyes set on that Skydio right now. Thanks for your support and comments.

[@jpoorr9973]

The Thunder LIVES! I'm sure you ride it a lot just not filming all the time. The 740 mm bars are working great. I could trim them down a little bit maybe to 700 mm. For now I'm going to leave them as is. Down here in South Florida I don't have to deal with all that congestion like you do. We don't have that parking on the side of the road crap. With the wider bars it's definitely more stable at high speeds. Also there is less Flex in the stem because of the force being spread out more through the wider aluminum bars.👍✌

[@AlienRides]

Awesome! I definitely want some larger handlebars. I probably ride the thunder 1-2 times per week, but it’s typically the same route so I don’t do a new video unless I’m trying something new out, in this case the gimbal. I would like to do some more modding videos soon though. Our city is definitely not very bike/PEV friendly, I need to get out of the city sometime. 😅

[@skeelo69]

What an adrenaline rush..by the way..the girl is on a suicide mission😂

[@AlienRides]

😂 group rides are a lot of fun, but it can quickly escalate when you get caught up in the speed. Hopefully no serious injury or death will come, but if it does, I want it on video.

[@jpoorr9973]

I just had to put this out there when it comes to brakes. One of the arguments that the guy from minimotors USA tried to tell me that I should get the Thunder instead of the ultra is that it comes with hydraulic brakes which is an upgrade. They may be a slight upgrade but they are still low end hydraulic brakes which are made for stopping bicycles. You put them on a 80 to 90 lb scooter and try to stop it at the speeds these scooters can go the heat generated is going to cause glazing. That's why I didn't care about the hydraulic brakes that come on the Thunder. I use my mechanical disc with the regen set at 4 which is high. It takes some getting used to because the initial pull slows the shit out of it quickly. But riding like that I'm not generating all that heat on to the rotor and pads. If minimotors wants to do a real brake upgrade they need to put high-end dual piston hydraulic brakes on their scooters.

[@AlienRides]

JPO Orr yeah, that’s a good point, I don’t trust the brakes and have regen at about 4 also. I’ve gotten used to it personally, but many people don’t like it. I want all the available braking power I can get though. Thought about doing the magura brake swap, but might wait until my next scooter for that.

[@seiryu8086]

How water resistant is this? I just ordered mine but I’m scared of risking it in the rain since I have an Inokim Ox already!

[@AlienRides]

I believe you can wipe it down and be ok, but I don't think you can submerge it in water or anything. I would be ok riding with it in a light rain as well, but probably better to avoid anything heavier than that.

[@seiryu8086]

Alien Rides have you found that you had to do any maintenance on it in the few months you’ve owned this so far? (flats, brakes, other problems)

[@AlienRides]

@@seiryu8086 Ooh, the scooter specifically? My waterproofing comment above was about the quark, but about the same applies to the Dualtron Thunder 😅 I've had relatively low maintenance so far, just occasionally topping off air in tires, but no flats yet. Brakes are still good, but I use a lot of motor braking. I do need to apply some silicon grease to my stem since it's started to creak a little bit, but that's about it. Overall very happy with the purchase still.

[@seiryu8086]

Alien Rides great to hear it! can’t wait to get mine and see how different it rides lol

[@seiryu8086]

Any suggestions on air pumps? Can’t seem to get mine to fit the thunders valve lol...

[@jetserge]

Is there some issue with the Quark horizon calibration?

[@AlienRides]

I think it was working in the beginning but I turned it off about half way through the video. It started shaking quite a lot, and I think that’s why the tire looks so shaken early in the video. It’s possible that the motor is not strong enough for these speeds.

[@ValorHeart]

Why your ABS is getting into operating each brake?

[@AlienRides]

I think this is just how Dualtrons work, unless I have some setting wrong. The ABS is kind of just "always on", and pulses whenever you brake. It would be much better ideally if it only happened when needed, but I'm not sure if there's any electric scooters that support that yet?

[@ValorHeart]

@@AlienRides i've seen videos of Thunder's without the ABS to kick-on each brake, i suggest you to check it

[@AlienRides]

ValorHeart interesting! I know you can turn it on or off, but I don’t know how to enable only when needed. I’ll look into it, thanks.

[@richie2116]

How do I make my breaks stop squeaking it’s brand new

[@AlienRides]

When do they squeak? Always, or when you press the lever? I wonder if the brakes need to be centered? So loosening, and re-tightening them.

[@richie2116]

Alien Rides every time when I slow down at a intersection

[@richie2116]

By the way love my thunder it’s a beast

[@AlienRides]

@@richie2116 Yeah, Thunders are great machines. Mine are squeaking as well, I might try realigning them, or even changing the brake pads out. I think it's a common problem sadly.

[@richie2116]

Alien Rides other then that no problems. How much is the deck u got and do they have different colors

[@СергейиМаркГуртовой]

👍💪

[@revvillanuevarevaving6849]

Whats that funny braking sound? ABS?

[@AlienRides]

Rev Villanueva revaving yeah exactly, the Dualtron ABS. It’s kind of annoying to always pulse, but I’ve gotten used to it.

[@koreabike]

매우 좋아요!! 어느 나라인가요?

America is a good country as well.
