Retail Recon: Unveiling FluidFreeride SF's Top Scooters

[@imglidinhere]

I can confirm, they're worth buying from. Despite my troubles with my scooter, their customer service has been incredible and responds very quick. Highly recommended.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Great to hear! Thanks so much for the feedback. -Paul

[@hectorvillarruel4947]

I bought a NAMI Max 2, the biggest NAMI and they send me the scooter all over to my home at Guadalajara, México. Then my scooter went sick and they are giving me support, warranty parts and everything from USA to México. Good company.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Great to hear. Hope you’re back out and riding soon, if not already! Awesome scooter! -Paul

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

This was a very helpful video. The questions you had are solid and im glad the guy you talked to was willing to share honest feedback.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks so much for your support! :-) -Paul

[@Hoenn007]

Wish that there were some stores like that in the Midwest.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We hope to see more scooter retail, but some places like NYC are being very unfriendly to shops right now. -Paul

[@RCDevotee]

Thanks Paul! That shop is very close to my house. It is great to have a local shop like that along with a few others nearby like Alienrides.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We’re going to visit Alienrides (PEV Works) soon! It’s been a while since I’ve stopped by there and they always have cool stuff to see! -Paul

[@RCDevotee]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I am friends with Alienrides and most of the folks that work there. It is definitely more focused on EUCs. They also have that very cool fat-tire mini-bike that Kevin made along with that crazy Extreme Bull K6.

[@la2atl]

Great video. Really wish we had a Fluid shop here in Los Angeles. I just purchased my first scooter, a Fluid Horizon and really enjoy it but it’s been difficult to find people who have deep scooter know how and I love to geek out on stuff like this.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Sounds like me with audio equipment! No one wants to come listen to the system I spent 3 years building out of 20 year old parts! :-) See if you can score a discounted ticket to the micromobility show in Orange County in November, or maybe there is an Electrify expo still coming in 2024 (might have happened already for your area). Also check out the LA ESK8 community, it started with e-skates but had lots of scooter people now. They’re into bigger scooters for fast group rides though. -Paul

[@davidfromdownunder]

Great clip Paul. We need this service desperately in Australia, I believe Electric Kicks in Melbourne are one of the only retailers that do it. Love the idea of a dual test ride, that's genius!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes electric kicks are a good reputable brand!

[@Krispy416]

So you guys are back to being ESG? I subbed to the new rider guide channel also.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We are! I really missed it! Thanks so much for subscribing to both! -Paul

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

I brought my Nami Klima into their store for repairs. The brake cylinders weren’t retracting fully and there would be a constant rub against the rotor. The rotor itself was also damaged. When I picked it up, they replaced the brake pads but didn’t fix the actual issue. They also didn’t replace the damaged rotor. When I pointed this out, they replaced the rotor with another one of a different brand because they didn’t have any of mine in stock, meanwhile I had to wait for an hour or so. If you go there for repairs, MAKE SURE THEY WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@EJCR_Cap]

I can confirm, Miami is top notch in sales and service!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Wow, this is great. I didn't expect to get so much first-hand feedback! Thanks so much for letting us know. -Paul

[@EJCR_Cap]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I love the stuff you and everyone at Electric Scooter Guide is doing. I would have never of heard of Fluidfreeride if you never had them on your live shows a few years ago back now. They got my business for two reasons. 1, because electric scooter guide introduced them to me. 2. After I found out about them, I went down to Miami about an hour away from me and bought my first scooter and they were so fantastic I went back a few months later and bought my son a scooter. That was about two Christmas ago now!

[@cchoi108]

I wish I would have known this before I bought my scooter online lol. I could have just driven here or taken the ferry... Argh.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Haha next time! Thanks for stopping by!

[@darren4392]

Hi Guys, I have just received a new Dragon Predator Escooter, which is called the Langfeite c5 in the rest of the world. The acceleration is extreme, to the point of it being difficult not to spin the wheels in dual motor mode. There is nothing in the Psettings to reduce the acceleration, so I was thinking of replacing the throttle with one with a more gradual acceleration curve. Do you guys have a video on doing this? Are there any traps I need to look out for? It this a valid idea, or should I stick with the current throttle?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We have not heard of the brand!

[@Trottinet-work]

Interesting video, Paul. Btw: Can you do a review on the Japanese Daytona Mobility DK1? I'm mainly interested in front facing e-scooters as studies have shown this is the safest riding position.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Wow! That’s super cool. This is what I love about our audience is y’all are always showing me scooters I haven’t seen yet. I’ll read up on this one. We’ll probably have a hard time getting one if they aren’t distributing them in the US yet -Paul

[@Trottinet-work]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I'm obsessed with e-scooters. I'm convinced sales will exponentially grow (explode) in the next 10 years, because it is the most practical, compact and pretty safe micro mobility vehicle ever. After more than a century the Autoped has finally found its place in society.

[@KBP18]

I love the fact that there’s one relatively close to my house ❤

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Nice! Which city? -Paul

[@KBP18]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide there’s one in Brooklyn , I live in Queens 😎

[@jeancey1]

Test out the whole SOLOR line up🙏🏼

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We're getting there. We've done P1 2.0, Solar EQ, P1 3.0, Solar E-Clipse and my next full review is a Solar scooter too! -Paul

[@LouisNaylor-ok6my]

Fluid scooters FTW

[@TheTexasDuke]

Haha he put on the goggles

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

🤣

[@fredcarter7003]

? How good are they about parts ordered and shipped, does there parts department ship order parts in a timely manner? Because Voromotors has a big problem with filling orders in a timely manner

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

They have a pretty good stock of parts, but it’s always possible to get unlucky. I know from when I ran a repair warehouse for Lime in SF. The parts tend to come in big batches and sometimes don’t arrive on time because of port issues (getting ships unloaded). -Paul

[@dakotawolf5155]

Fred funny you mention that because I ordered a replacement lcd screen for the wolf king gt pro on Feb 22nd, and they just shipped yesterday. So yes, they take a while to ship parts. Customer service is great though at voro. Everytime I inquired about where my order was they responded back quickly and answered phone calls.

[@Poweredrides]

Cool video! They should open a store in chicago

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Hopefully, if the scooter market keeps growing! -Paul

[@jonathanramirez6184]

I live in Brooklyn NY and I don’t like the fact that the store doesn’t keep high end level scooters in stock like the Nami max and wolf GTR, you have to order them only online.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Interesting. I'll give them your feedback. It seemed like they had all of the NAMI scooters in SF. -Paul

[@marcinmarszaek4425]

Great video! Could you do a video about scooters range and what to do to extend it? I don’t mean basics like riding with full battery and use one wheel power instead of two. I mean like is going fast and full power uphill is better or slower and in one wheel powered mode, and if so by how much is better or worse. And same going downhill and on normal roads. I myself try to work it out on my varla pegasus how to extend the range as much as I can. Also I got an idea for another video, and that is where to charge te scooter outside from home and maybe review portable power stations/batteries to charge up scooter on the go, and to see how good are they, would they fit in backpack and how long would it take to charge scooter. You do great videos as always and thanks for review and other videos.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thank you so much. This is a great subject. I appreciate the suggestion! -Paul

[@flynn3065]

FYI dual motor is pretty much always more battery efficient

[@BoozySZN]

I've heard mixed reviews on fluid free ride. Heard that they're expanding into EU/UK soon? As always thanks for the video Paul:)

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@flynn3065]

10:00 I wonder if they repair the scooters while wearing vision pros 😂

[@sunmannlay2590]

Do they have plans expanding to Seattle?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Not that I’ve heard of. Eventually I’ll bet we’ll see scooter retail in every major city, but it’s taking a lot longer than we thought, because the scooter market is growing slower than we thought it might. -Paul

[@chefgav1]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideThing is scooters can be easily bought online or from China relatively cheap. Scooter market is growing and doing very well here in Australia

I believe they have a store in Europe already

[@Trottinet-work]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide You're right. In Sweden. How in the world they ended up in Sweden beats me, but it makes the step to more, much smaller.

Great feedback! I agree! Gloves are essential! -Paul

I personally only like Paul ,when he does videos. I like the professionalism, and his experience level. Everything else is mush and I skip.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. We had a scooter review all lined up for this morning but hit a snag and it got delayed. I’ll keep making roughly one review a week. -Paul

[@dakotawolf5155]

Agreed, I prefer only to watch Paul. Ramier is good too, but the other younger guy..yeah just have paul do a the videos. Your awesome Paul!!

[@marshapelo9830]

The place looks small for servicing all of united states.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It’s just the SF retail location. They have two other retail spots. I imagine they also have other warehouses and repair facilities than the three retail locations but I’ll have to ask them about that. -Paul

[@AlexHernandez-p5h]

Wish they fix all kinds of scooters but they dont.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It would be really hard to do that, because of parts and also every scooter has different quirks. I used to own a motorcycle shop and we had to limit ourselves to certain brands or we’d end up getting out of our depth on repairs. We were also always a max capacity to we had to reserve our time to make sure we could 100% support the folks that bought from us. (We sold used gas powered motorcycles) -Paul
