[@kldstl]

You missed one thing. Ebikes can carry a lot of cargo. This makes it more practical for more use cases. The extra range and comfort makes it more of a car supplement than the other two.

[@aha3411]

You're right I have an escooter and it's amazing but the low range unless you have one with a dual battery system is quite limiting

This is a fair point. Scooters and skateboards are basically limited to what you can carry on your back or hang off the handlebars with a scooter.

I'd say e-skates are the most fun imo. I used a skateboard as my primary form of transportation for years so I'm definitely biased. But riding one is like every longboarder's dream; you're basically riding a never ending hill with brakes. It's so dope.

[@garethbennett3780]

I remember years back when I was in high school, I used to longboard to and from gym and my home, and often thought; imagine if longboards were battery powered. The thought back then was insane and now it's commonplace.

[@dragonl0l]

Theyre the best in my own opinion.. having ridden a skateboard like once. BUT for me the road I would use my E transport on is not suitable for eskates. So ill probably go with an escooter.

[@JuanMartinez-uf6no]

Personally I’d choose the scooter for sure over an e-bike because of much higher top speed. Sure e-bikes get great range but they’re also priced very high $3k+ with 30-35mph top speed.

[@WGHpanic]

If you buy directly from the manufacturer, you can get a 5000-8000w 40ah enduro-style ebike for 3k. Granted you'll wait months for it. I would not buy an ebike from a domestic unless you had the money to pay 2-4x the markup for fast shipping.

[@LightsOnMultiMediaMindArts]

If you're looking for a "car replacement" ebikes are the better choices. You can carry groceries on them depending on what kind of racks or trailers you have. Which is not to diminish the utility of an e-scooter, which can be perfect for a quick trip to buy a small number of items. I have both.

[@Anomalyy666]

You can carry stuff on your bag

[@amenhotepavoskin1307]

I sold my Vespa-style ebike and bought an e-scooter. This made me happy for several reasons: 1. You can take your e-scooter pretty much anywhere. 2. No more being stranded with a flat tire on a curbside. IF you have a flat, just call a cab and take your e-scooter to the nearest help. 3. In winter, you can store your e-scooter at home not to kill the battery with cold weather. 4. It's easy to put the e-scooter up on a workbench and work on it. Even washing it is much easier than washing an ebike. 5. Having all these advantages, an e-scooter is as practical as an ebike. Just attach a cargo hook to it or get a backpack. I use my e-scooter to do most of my groceries.

[@t.terrell7037]

May sound silly but I’m thinking of getting one since my car is not working. For things like hospital appointments or grocery shopping, where do you park or store it safely while running the errand, etc? Do you just use a bike rack? And do you have to buy a lock for safety?

[@jeanalex8992]

I was in the market for an Electric Scooter in the past because I was getting tired of using my Car for daily commuting.. But I decided to get an Electric MTB instead for a multitude of reasons and it's been great.. I personally think that Electric Bicycles are the best out of all three if we're looking at it from a sheer utility stand point, which I think is the most objective point of view to look at because most people will buy these because they need a mode of transportation instead of a recreational device.. 1. Electric Bicycles can be fitted with one or multiple racks, bags and baskets to help you carry stuff around like some people need to at a regular basis.. The other 2 doesn't really offer any way of helping you carry your things so you're pretty much limited to using a backpack.. 2. Electric Bicycles have basically infinite range so it's really the only PEV where you won't have range anxiety 3. Electric Bicycles may need the most maintenance, but it's also the least stressful because there are significantly more E-Bike/Bike Shops than E-Scooter or E-Skate shops so unless you bought something extremely niche, chances are you're easily going to find a replacement part if something breaks along with some one who actually knows how to fix it.. 4. A minor point, Electric Bicycles are the only PEV that help you get exercise as well.. 5. Another minor point, Electric Bicycles are the most comfortable because aside from some niche E-Scooters, they're the only PEV that let's you sit down while using it.. Most people assume that Electric Bicycles are the most expensive but that isn't completely true.. There are $400 Electric Bicycles from Walmart that, admittedly isn't going to win any awards, but neither will a $400 E-Scooter or E-Skate.. Really though, the only actual negatives I can see with Electric Bicycles is they're the least portable, but even then, Folding E-Bikes exist so unless you have to take your PEV with you in the subway or somewhere cramped regularly, Electric Bicycles still have you covered..

[@Chadh9322]

After market and oem seats for scooters are easy to put on and cheep … plus more speed and comparable ranges at less work to the operator, making other transportation devices under in the 35 40 mph range obsolete for the task with cheeper upkeep cost and run cost.

[@anti-classist]

I mean most people can just wear a back pack bruh for carrying stuff if you need a lot you want an e trike not e bike. I personally think the EUC is the future of transport and while scooters don't offer as much, e skates offer a lot of core exercise... Just because you think you pedaling is more exercise that doesn't mean it's the best solution. EUC take a lot of core and leg strength to operate people lose weight offroading on them.

[@brushlessmotoring]

Loved your scooter roundup, and thanks for the shoutout to EUCs. After riding e-skate (RIP Boosted Boards) and e-bikes, EUCs are by far my favorite, if you have someone who knows how to ride teach you. What I like about them is their portability, they wheel into anywhere (although some are too heavy to easily lift) and have large diameter wheels which soak up potholes. Because they are controlled by balance alone, they are very reliable, no foot plate switches, bluetooth remotes or cables to snap. I recommend finding a facebook group of EUC or wider PEV riders (which will have EUC riders) and going to a meetup to maybe have a go. Would love to start seeing EUCs on your excellent channel, to really round out your excellent coverage of all things PEV!

[@anti-classist]

Yeah I think EUC has some serious unique advantages over the others even though I think the learning curve is much more difficult than the others.

[@brushlessmotoring]

@@anti-classist yeah - I definitely took longer than most (2 months) trying to self learn in a park, and got deep into the ‘I’ll never get this’ pit of despair, but then found another EUC rider, a few tips and some literal hand holding later and I was up. About a year later, it’s like you have super powers and are constantly flying close to the ground - it’s a crazy feeling, I love it, and your footprint is so small compared to anything else, even the chunkier 16 inch wheels scoot into a shop no problem, performance to size and also price, EUCs are worth considering.

[@mango305z]

Such a great review and video. As a student who sometimes has to commute on train for work, this was extremely helpful. I think i will go with an e skateboard for my choice or a budget scooter. I wanted an E bike but prices can be insane for a decent one. E scooters can get really expensive too but the budget ones should satisfy my needs as a student. If i can get an e skateboard for a budget price then i will definitely go with that.

Electric skateboards for me,I’m used to longboarding,I get a-b for work and back home with my v8 isinwheel but and e-scooter I’ll might fall off because I’m not really experienced.e-bikes are good as long as u maintain them well with the battery range depending on how u ride the bike depending on the model though.

[@ARMYALEX1869]

i got the eskate not only because it's my childhood dream to ride an electric skateboard, but also because it's lightweight, portable, and more afforable. I don't trust the kids at my college enough to leave an ebike or escooter out even with a lock on, so I'd rather have something I can carry with me anywhere I go.

[@trevorkenny]

Got a scooter recently and now I'm looking at getting an EUC and E-Skate in the future.

[@DT-Nicky]

I have both scoots and skates. Skates for commuting and scoots to destress. I do like scoots more due to there capabilities, but skates are easily better because you can concealed them so no one knows what you're carrying. Overall it is personal preference for the person in question that and the streets that they ride on.

[@WGHpanic]

I have or owned all 4. Skates are budget, and if you've already skated. Hard wheels on smooth concrete is unmatched. Commuting I would take a scooter, or EUC. An ebike is too large and heavy to bring inside most places.

i prefer eboards because where i live bikes get stolen a lot so i like that i can carry my board into the store without worrying if im going to come back out with it still there or not. i also grew up skateboarding so its in my nature at this point to jump on a board and go

[@AbStar_xx]

One year late, but very informative video. Thanks! My only option is to get an e-bike, since currently, in my country, I live in the ONLY state where e-scooters are banned on the roads. You can drive them around on private property, but nowhere else. However, a limited e-scooter trial began in some regional areas this year, so fingers crossed things will change soon. In the meantime, my e-bike should arrive tomorrow. I'm excited!

[@Sky1]

I tried to use a regular skateboard in Boston when going from my Dorm to College. It saved me some time but was a lot of work constantly pushing off. I think the E Skateboard is a winner, but what if you can't bring it in with you? How do you lock it up outside? I think the Scooter is better for that.

[@ruhtraeel]

My personal observations E-scooter: - Easiest to learn - Most budget friendly for range (ex. $450 Turboant X7 Max gets 30km range) E-skateboard: - Most portable - Most budget friendly for speed (ex. $400 Wowgo 2S Max gets 45km/h) E-bike: - Safest (especially under high speed, most stable) - Most practical for carrying stuff, including 2 people E-unicycle: - Best range at high end (ex. $3000 Sherman gets 200km range, thousand dollar EUCs generally have better range than equivalent PEVs) Onewheel: - Most maneuverable? (Not sure about this vs EUC)

[@contessa.adella]

You also need to think about how the machine fits the area of use. A bike can be used out of town on long rural rides. Whilst you CAN ride a scooter out on fast busy roads between towns…would you feel safe? Skateboards are better in suburbs, since lane splitting and dodging through tight traffic in a busy city centre is going to go badly at some point and yet conversely can you see yourself skating along 9 miles of 60 mph open road…you’d have to be brave or mad and the chance of becoming a hood ornament is high. I say choose the machine to fit the location, with bikes being the best ‘everywhere’ solution and much much easier to stay on if you hit a pot hole.

[@woodenmetal2977]

I have no experience with skates, and I don't see myself ever going that route, but the reviews for the bikes and scooters were very helpful. In the end, I went with the scooters. I typically use them to commute while at university. Car parking is a disaster on campus, so I just ride my e-scooter. I don't trust people to not steal any component from my ride, so that's points against the e-bike when I need to park it, whereas I can carry my e-scooter around in folded mode. It's on the heavy side, but it also doubles as good weight training when I feel like lifting and am not in the mood to ride to the gym. I also ride it to work, so I save a lot of miles on my car.

[@pentiuman]

What's right for me. I'm 60 AND active, but 2 years ago, I fell from a tall ladder and got a Traumatic Brain Injury. By hospital release, I had recovered about 95%, but slight double vision (corrected w/ glasses) and my balance was still slightly off. I will not even try to learn a skateboard. As I got a "seizure-like event" the day of my accident, I had to be 6 months seizure free, to be able to drive. So for these reasons, I got back into (regular) bicycling w/ lights, a rear rack for groceries, and continued home exercises. I like motorcycles, but they go fast and are dangerous around cars! I ended up earning my drivers license back, w/ 3 annual Medical Reviews. But, I discovered e-scooters, I ride a cheap one w/ a SEAT, because I was worried about standing and balancing. Same reason I avoid skateboards. But I found e-scooters are just a bit harder to balance than a bicycle, and w/ smaller wheels, could more easily crash from a surface imperfections. I'm gonna get a Bafang kit ($800+) w/ removable battery to store inside, to power 1 of 3 bicycles, & if one bike breaks, I'll move the ekit to another. An ebike tends to have proprietary parts, some batteries are built-in and can be more expensive.

[@Humbledaur]

Something else that is very important to note, which wasn’t shown in the video, is the safety factor: if we were to fall, which PEV would be the safest? And, which is the better PEV at preventing accidents? Also, which is more likely to have someone mess with your PEV or steal it? **If we were to fall, which PEV would be the safest?** 1) In first place, I’m thinking the eSkate is the safest since our body isn’t held down and there isn’t anything blocking our path, from the eSkate, when falling. Our body is upright, as well, allowing us better chances at staying on our feet. 2) 2nd place, I think it may be the eBike. I think this is because our body is together and we can roll from a crash. There are chances that we could flip over the bars, but maybe this is less likely to happen vs an eScooter. 3) In 3rd, I’m thinking the eScooter because if we fall over the handle bars, that can trip our body over and flip it around. Or, if our body misses most of the bar, our feet might get caught on the bar, causing us to turn, maybe flip, and possibly faceplant more easily. Maybe it can be taught to push the bar out of the way if we are going to crash, but that will still be hard to do in a moment’s notice. **Which is the better PEV at preventing accidents?** I’m not too sure here, but maybe the eBike and eScooter is best for a better breaking control as our weight/body can be held against the PEV, while an eSkate can have our body thrown off? But maybe we would just practice leaning our body back to accommodate room for our body moving forward on an eSkate, when breaking. Aside from breaking, the eBike and eScooter are both better at turning quickly/more sharply out of a situation compared to an eSkate. With an eSkate, we probably would have to jump off the board to have a quick change of direction to avoid a situation, if the breaks weren’t enough. **Which is more likely to have someone mess with your PEV or steal it?** 1) eBikes may be more likely to have someone mess with it or steal it due to if the rider is not allowed to bring it inside, but must lock it up outside. 2) eScooters and eSkates are basically the same portability, which should be able to be taken with you inside buildings and vehicles.

[@RealityInk]

Something I have always wondered with an E scooter. If the battery dies can you not simply put the thing in neutral and work it like a conventional not motorized kick scooter?

[@benoittremblay2508]

You can for some kilometers. A dying battery will still help you lengthening your kicking distance, so you don’t have to kick as often as if you did without assistance. And it will freely roll down inclines. So over all, better than walking but still a bit of a workout. Hope it helps…

[@RealityInk]

@@benoittremblay2508 yes actually. I have been saving up for an electric model but in the mean time I have been practicing with a regular one. Good exercise.

[@peacemakerfoundation4281]

It's a very very important question often overlooked. Depends on the model, but almost all of them have some resistance from the magnets in the hub motor. As someone said before, you can do it, and downhills no problem, but it's a bit of a workout. Also helps if the deck is low. So for example I often use a Megawheels s1 pro or Kugoo s1 pro both of which have low decks so can be used in this way - but quite a lot of effort. What is good though is that you can kick assist it up steep hills to increase speed and range and get some valuable exercise too

Coming from an electric unicycle owner, the scooter is the best overall compromise of safety, portability, range, speed, and price.

what town are you in? Love the mountain backdrop! thx

[@cheesefries7436]

6:23 I'm going to disagree there... There are MANY ebike brands with absurd prices and worse features compared to cheaper ebikes. You end up paying a lot for a "brand" with most ebikes. I rode my buddies ~$4,000 Super73 and loved it so I did my research and ended up buying a JuicedBike for less than half the price and the same or better features.

[@simonkristensson3077]

Im quite experienced on board sports and I wish there was a smaller and lighter board with kickers, and the battery should definitely not be under the board, or at all attached to the board at all. Wires have a purpose here.. Because the current e boards are way to heavy to actually be fun in practice.

[@denkaes5844]

There are a lot of smaller/lighter eboards out there, but you sacrifice range, same as with any euv. You want the battery attached to the board because if you fall or rather WHEN you fall you wont fall on your battery (if backpack for example) and no one wants wires hanging around that you can get stuck in. A brake lever on a mountainboard is enough hassle to keep track of. Way to heavy to have fun? idk what board you have tried or what you are doing with your board when you ride, but the normal eboard can do everything you can do with a normal longboard (carving, speeding etc). I'd say you'll have more fun on a eboard, because you have brakes and power. There are some really heavy boards out there, but you get insane range, and power. I'm actually selling my ebike to buy a eboard again, most ebikes are way too heavy so even if there's a bigger battery, you wont get far because of weight.

[@kobefan2472]

I have a light ebike but also would like the portability of an escooter I'll be looking for a good budget one even tho I still prefer ebikes

[@markbless419]

Okay but can a scooter or a board climb hills or am I doomed to buy the bike by default?

[@OneTwoFive0]

I’d choose an e bike with a 72v 5000w, able to reach speeds of 85kph or around 50mph, and once you learn to wheelie one like a beast then it becomes super fun

E-scooter is best for riding in the city. E-bike is best for riding outside of it. The scooter is easier to maneuver among stopped cars and the portability helps (I have an E-TWOW which is really portable, not like these examples shown here), and the small wheels are good enough for the city asphalt. But it's insufficient for any off-city exploration, where you need the big wheels and the added range of a bike. Also, riding pedals makes the bike more fun. An electric scooter feels just like a car, you're not doing much to maintain speed, it's not the same fight as on an ebike to keep the high speed.

[@foolonthrn]

Been skating my entire life and I'm 50 electric skateboards are so much fun

[@milordas]

for commuting in the citty, only e-scooters e-bikes using to much space and weight. For the weight and performance i would chosse Vsett 9+, or Vsett 10+ if 36 kg is afordable

[@arkhamkillzone]

Bike will always win. Superior tyre size and disk breaks. Better ranger and can be ridden on many different terrains. Scooters do look fun in some cases but over all I'll stick to the ebike.

[@dictionplacement5467]

If your cities roads are bad and not many bike lanes (for scooter) causing you to share road with cars you'll feel those bumps and be worrying going slow trying not to eat it. mid diameter wheels on mine but fatter ones would probably be better. Braking takes longer too forsure kinda sketch but you gotta lean back when braking too. One major thing ppl are not mentioning is drivers can't see which way you are turning as easy as on a bike it's more visible to see the large wheel turning causes more hesitation for drivers from what ive witnessed. Just laying some info out if anyone's curious. Love my e scooters hopefully I can buy or try all pves 😂

[@arkhamkillzone]

@dictionplacement5467 these are things they don't tell you on the packaging. I live in Melbourne/Australia and there are fair amount of bike lanes here. Still I'd prefer to use a bike on those. Scooter seems more of a lazy way to get around and the option to exercise on just isn't practical.

[@spunkflunk]

I would never wamt to go faster than 20mph on an e skate. Vs my scooter that can do 50mph and 40mph comfortably

[@oddtechman]

congrats on passing 10K subs bud!

[@tuffguy6852]

I love riding my Kaabo Mantis 8, but does anyone else feel like a massive dork riding an e scooter?

[@jeanalex8992]

This.. I personally find it a bit hilarious when I see promotional material for E-Scooters where they hire really good-looking models to ride E-Scooters for their commercials/posters and they still can't make them look cool 🤣.. Nothing against E-Scooter fans, I've tried E-Scooters and they can be pretty fun, but it just looks weird seeing grown adults riding E-Scooters..

[@cucumber1004]

Very informative . Thanks.

[@RedX8477]

Here are all the advantages these 3 things have over eachother; Electric Bikes: They have a longer range, and more space to carry items (cargo). Electric Scooters: They are faster than both E-Bikes and E-Skateboards, and they are basically built for road. Electric Skateboards: They have a remote, to control the whole thing. They also charge quicker, and fit in any car. They are also cheaper. Genuinely, I would rather pick an E-Scooter, over an E-Bike or E-Skateboard. E-Scooters just seem better.

[@BIKEINDI]

And the unicycles?

[@xuepingsong5329]

The biggest problem is infrastructure and law for escooter. Only legal option in Aus is 250w ebike.

[@alterablebark54]

Eskates almost should have been left out of the conversation here if your only experience is with a $500 something looking board while having multi thousand dollar bikes and scooters. If you're willing to spend thousands on an Eskate, you can get boards that will go 60,70,80 mph with over 20000W worth of motor power and 1400Wh batteries or offroad boards and mountain boards with even bigger batteries, fully independent suspension, gear drive and bindings, and thats just boards you can buy, If you want do go the DIY route (probably the easiest for the PEV with the least components) there isnt any limit.

[@Matyx863F]

I am gonna buy the 2021 E2S E-scooter.

[@lucaspanto9650]

How is it a con that performance is tied to price? That's just common sense, you pay more and you get a better product

[@nebxlas]

about eskate: it isnt toooo hard to learn. i got mine without any skate experience and figured it out within the day

[@nigelk288]

E scooter for me; hub ebikes do not feel like regular bikes that you pedal until motor kick in and you feel you pedal in the air all the time.

[@goldenagenut]

Eboards are great but you will take a spill sooner or later and even if well protected you can get hurt badly, quite easily at the speeds you ride. You can carry very little, has to be on your back pretty much exclusively, too much weight will throw your balance off too much. You've got a plank of wood with 4 little wheels underneath and that's it. I would never ride in a situation with traffic. I ride, love my eboard but it's dangerous, no doubt, and I've got a few nifty scars to show for it! 😁👍

[@philbuilds116]

Where I live, it's basically impossible to have an e-skateboard. 8" scooter tires are too small for the size and frequency of potholes and bad seams in the roads and sidewalks.

[@milordas]

get 11" then

[@brushlessmotoring]

Also consider a 16" to 20" EUC if you can find someone to teach you how to ride.

[@skotwilt]

one thing everyone forgets, is that escooters also have seats. makin em just like a motorcycle.

[@skotwilt]

they can haul trailers, and run for 50+ miles.. charge in 6 hours from dead. easily charged, and carried anywhere.

[@ecod7r]

E scooter can out performe any E bike, but you need to go for the one at 2k+ price which is still cheaper than most of the e bike, with more range and with more performance. get your research better next time.

[@ChrisCrossingWires1212]

I have one of each as most people start with a board, then scooter, then bike. thats how it happen for me anyway

[@seangonzalez9025]

That’s why i got a universal terrain thick tire e skateboard

[@youngincarlos]

Ebike all the way, hear me out. Pedal assist will keep u going forever and if ur feeling lazier there’s at times where ur ebike has full throttle mode which is fun too. But You know if your out far and ur ride dies on you, you are gonna be upset. Though, with a ebike even if it dies you can pedal your way home, while on the other hand, electric scooters or eskateboards would pe harder to kick your way home, and some eboards and escooters are heavier and isn’t that well to kick off it

[@tubevideoguy762]

and when this guy said scoots and bike were "similar" with riding appoarchability??? HE'S SMOKIN CRACK! your seated position and larger wheels will put your center of gravity much lower to the tires on a vehicle like an ebike vs an escoot= far simpler/easier riding!

[@stickyicky2858]

fyi surron and talaria is a e bike and is a monster with upgrades

[@itchylemone6038]

I just got the pro 2 and I don't know when to charge it. Should I let it die or charge it at like 40 percent?

[@onetwo937]

Never let it die most you should let it get to is 10% battery and then charge it, anything under will degrade the battery faster

[@itchylemone6038]

@@onetwo937 Ok thanks, and also should i charge it to 100% or 80%

[@onetwo937]

@@itchylemone6038 it’s ok to charge it to 100% the batteries on those scooters can take it, only charge to 100% if you’re going to go on long rides but if you’re going on shorter rides 90-95 is best

E-Scooters are fun. E-Bikes I have never tried. But I’m more experienced with a golf cart.

[@samulai]

Easy decisions outside EU :D See if this makes sense: Scooters and non-pedal things can have up to 1kW motors, as long as they're limited to 25km/h. E-bikes are limited to both 250W nominal and 25km/h, basically crippling the whole concept.

[@thetruthisright6750]

I got pulled over with my dualtron and had to get rid of it you can’t ride them on the road despite what everyone says

[@DT-Nicky]

I guess it depends on where you are in terms of state or country. Some police officers are very strict while other only focus on cars and motorcycles. You also have to consider if you are riding fast in front of them and obeying traffic rules. I stay on roads with shoulders and bike paths while staying off of highways and freeways....if you have to cross them then do so quickly. If you happen to get back on the road with a scoot try to avoid people in cars like the plague. They will be the ones who snitch the most.

[@Pintexx]

You gotta check with your cities PEV rules before buying any PEV

E scooters are absolute beasts in speed E bikes are good flr speed not to fast but good and can carry things E skates well theyre fast kind of but no way to carry stuff on it but more portable

[@sharky1854]

7:50 that not true at all i have owned multiple boards and even on the worse case scenario they reach 10 miles or more and my boards are all mid range boards and a budget eboard will beat the range of a simulair priced scooter all day
