Ford electric scooter first ride

[@SKproductions486]

Cheaper than a MacBook Pro 👌🏼

[@alexc7857]

SKproductions486 so are a lot of things! 😂

[@uglierduckling6321]

Personally I see this becoming a thing in Europe not America

[@vince086]

The issue is these things are highly regulated in some European countries, so you would need a license + insurance (insurance can be stupidly expensive). Personally I would love one to go to work and back but last time I checked to get insured on a 49cc model it was going to cost me €1700 a year.

[@MK-je7kz]

There are ton of scooter/motorbike shops everywhere in Europe, so I doubt that anybody finds their way to a Ford car dealership to buy a scooter.

[@adamkimmV]

Mopeds are already really cheap, especially the fuel. Like Vincent said insurance is the main cost. Here in the UK average moped insurance is around £300, and you could get a second hand moped for that price no problem. So there really isn't any advantage to using an electric moped.

[@Re_Kitty]

Vincent what shitty European country do you live in? Insuring a Porsche Boxter would cost me €1400/yr and any electric scooter that doesn't go past 250 watts nominal is free to ride for anyone without any license. These scooters and others like it are already extremely popular in city centers around here.

[@stevezodiac491]

Re probably the country that had the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

[@omairbhore]

This is really good for an urban environment... I mean seriously costs less than a premium laptop.

[@raggedyexynos6826]

Sick burn bro

[@marilynalvarez9951]

To be honest, this one is really expensive for what it is, if you want an electric transporter, there are way cheaper options and even nicer looking ones without paying for the "Ford" logo. Just google search electric transporter and/or scooter and you'll see a slew of them.

[@TheLillianYoung]

Omair Bhore I like the idea, but I believe that in urban environments, it’s as cumbersome (due to regulations) as a Vespa. For instance, where to park it? Is it street legal? What about sidewalks? When the battery dies, what does one do with it? For those reasons, I could see this in country, rural or suburban areas moreso until and unless they are regulated for urban areas. Leave it to me, I’d rather this than the CitiBikes in NYC.

[@AleksanderJDimas]

I appreciate how he makes the corporate relationship clear rather than attributing the product to Ford entirely

[@GordonChaffin]

I got my Ojo last week and it is awesome! It's a perfect bike lane commuter scooter that doesn't get you sweaty on the way to work.

[@TheJohnRowley]

THE best presenter at The Verge, great review as usual man

[@martinsichta2568]

You have the best job dude!

[@MMMM-vh5wl]

Apparently, there are a ton of everything at CES every year haha, every video starts with it.

[@adamkimmV]

MM MM They always have loads of weird things there, last year I kept seeing loads of videos about smart fridges.

[@jenmuller7684]

Ok serious question, how do you keep it from getting stolen? For example, if you decide to drive it to the grocery store, what do you do with it when you're inside? Could you lock it up? Do you need to take into the store with you? I'm so interested to hear customer reviews and stuff. I live in the Portland, Or area and could see something like this being potentially useful if it wouldn't get stolen...

[@chesshooligan1282]

It WOULD get stolen. Thieves love bicycles, motorbikes, and scooters, and this gadget has an extremely high value/weight ratio and is difficult to lock properly. My bet is under normal use, it wouldn't last you a few months. You're better off with a regular scooter and a thick chain and padlock + alarm and GPS, and even that doesn't guarantee it won't get stolen.

[@DodoIsFly]

Jen Muller We have an electric scooter, or pretty much any scooter, if you pull out the key, you wont be able to move the steering wheel at all, maybe they have something so the wheels dont turn as well without the keys, so your only option would be to carry the whole thing as a thief

[@jenmuller7684]

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know you could lock the steering. I think I'm perhaps a little paranoid about the idea of spending so much money without any security tech added to at least deter theft or help you track it back down. I'll put off getting a scooter and watch to see how the tech evolves over time.

[@chesshooligan1282]

No, you're not being paranoid. I've had 5 bicycles and 3 motorbikes stolen, and I lock them properly. The steering lock is going to do bugger all. There are plenty of videos on KZbin of motorbike thieves breaking the steering lock of big bikes with their leg muscles, without any tools. Here's one, but there are plenty more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH65pX6Pd9loh5I

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Hi Jen! You would lock it up just like you would a bicycle through the back tire. It also comes equipped with key fob and alarm system for extra protection :)

[@KnightMD]

I LOVE IT. Honestly, thinking of getting this till my Tesla 3 arrives next January.

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Hi KnightMD! We just launched sales if you want to check out all of the colors available: www.ojoelectric.com/ford-ojo-scooter

[@TheDonta99]

Probably the most excited I've ever seen you...😊👌

[@samdeepak]

I'd be really cool if this innovation is around everywhere especially in over polluted cities and also the impact it can contribute to reduce traffic congestion and overall pollution. A great kick off nevertheless.

[@KnightMD]

These guys make nice videos.

[@gordontang9640]

Ford added the 'Ford' into affordable

[@ThisguyQuake]

That looks awesome. Good job ford

[@salu190]

These are all sold out, I cant buy one ANYWHERE???, can someone pls let me know?

[@fr33rid3r33]

That looks awesome, I wish I had a need for one. I would TOTALLY get one !

[@godfatherNYC]

A lot better than the $10,000 one CNet just showed! (The "Ujet" I think?)

[@jgames01]

This is fantastic.

[@cucharlie2006]

I want one!! Can it handle the Windy City?

[@Mckscooter]

How is the suspension on these? By looks of them a few runs over some potholes and you’re going to hate this thing. It’s one thing to ride this in a newly paved hotel parking lot, quite another to ride on your typical city road with broken pavement.

[@markcruzjr.7754]

What is top speed? Also Not available now...

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Top speed is 20 MPH and yes, available now! www.ojoelectric.com/ford-ojo-scooter

[@salu190]

Yeah--I just googled , and says'sold out' everywhere--SOLD OUT in March 2019...?

[@luther434]

subaru at the background= lit af hahaha

[@cowpoke02]

can you scoot if batter dies .. ???? looks great .. love o team up make bikes and scooters ..

[@RM-lj8bv]

What weight can it hold? and where can I buy it in The U.K.?

[@tsjmcgrath]

Sean is such a good host.

[@guspyhala5630]

But does it have VTEC?

[@nkaujhmoobmekas]

wow i would like to get one......i dont see any link here........i saw one on ebay just 25 mile

[@jayslaysantuck8190]

0.29 that subaru in the background....

[@arifmuhammad5927]

I want but i live in spain barcelona .ans mi please & in which days arrived in price how much urgent

[@sonicwoofer2008]

Is it weather n waterproof? As its outdoor

[@heyedddie]

looks fun! Does it come in black?

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Sure does! You can see all of the Ford OjO color schemes here: www.ojoelectric.com/ford-ojo-scooter

[@joeschmo5710]

Anyone know where I can purchase an additional OJO battery? The website has been out of stock forever.

[@diljeetsinghnarwal]

If I could afford it, and they made it available in India, I'd totally buy this. Maybe the Ford branding made it more expensive than it should be, but looks like a fun ride.

[@ThinkGizmo]

Electric Bike is awesome.

[@gmart225]

this scooter is beautiful this boy is, too

[@arnoldmayii3563]

Very cool!!

[@TRAUMATIZE]

Fact: 25 Miles range not 50. The Manufacturer says they give You a 2nd Battery of 25 miles range. Equalling 50, but You have to replace the battery and still carry around the other.

[@vandanabansal955]

What is the price of this scooter

[@gaming222-s4g]

Can the seat be raised?

[@TELEVISIBLE]

How much weight can it carry ?

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

300 lbs

[@wibowossh]

hope this will enter Indonesia market...

[@Dantick09]

How you get on with the times and use metric?

[@JacobCarlson]

Sean rocking full NY gear: Belief OnlyNY I love it! The scooter is cool too...

[@nicokid007]

where can I park it tho, next to a bike rail?

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Yes, exactly! Wherever a bike goes, the OjO can go too.

[@TheLillianYoung]

This would be great in places where it’s welcomed and for people with personal property or garages. I live and work in NYC. This looks too much like a Vespa. I’d likely get stopped if on a bike trail with it. Another issue for me when considering e-rideable is the what to do with it at your destination test. Again, this is like a Vespa. I’d have to keep it outdoors. That’s a challenge in NYC. Hopefully one day the regulations will loosen so that riders have more options with fewer ticketing risks.

[@praveenrohira7512]

I want this!!

[@LZentertainments]

Where to buy in Europe?

[@harshithkoppavarapu1686]

How much it costs

[@OfficialMarkieB]

After renting a pedal electric bike, Id much rather have one of these when touring a cities downtown.

[@ricardoador322]

I need the control. Unit

[@samo4204]

First one great video

[@CoCody_]

An electric bike I'm getting has 100 mile range with a top assisted speed of 28mph.

[@SaikoTechnology]

GentlemanXCreed what's the bike called?

[@VinkeHD]

GentlemanXCreed Good for you totally different product

[@CoCody_]

Delite GT nuvinci hs. Great bike for longevity, speed, traveling, commuting. It will replace the need for a vehicle and in a couple years it would of paid itself off basically because you're not paying for gas, insurance, maintenance.

[@CoCody_]

There are cheaper bikes that can outperform it.

[@therealknapster]

Not work in u.k. for many , many reasons . But why not just use a scooter ?

[@jdlklr2859]

This will be huge just bought F stock

[@WeAreMovieMakers]

How to prevent people from stealing it?

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

You'd lock it up just like you lock up a bicycle. :)

[@deimoskrijgsman]

I WANT ONE

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Hi Deimos, we are running a Special on our New Website! $1499 for the black Classic OjO, while supplies last. www.ojoelectric.com

[@jova2830]

Nice Subaru wrx!!!

[@sg736t2]

I need that

[@TheGusWorkman]

I want one

[@tpfrk8977]

Couldn’t they do anything about that top speed?

[@TheRFJAN]

that WRX though

[@bobbiekoppejan3680]

Did anyone else notice that awesome white WRX in the background

[@phillies0099]

Bobbie Koppejan I was just about to comment the same thing 😂😂

[@penguindiego]

How much they paying ya bruh!.?

[@eltalraffa]

If you say ojo like that is "hole" in Spanish, the correct way is "oho". Trust me, I'm Mexican

[@marilynalvarez9951]

Ummmmm perhaps Spanish is not your first language as "ojo" means "eye" and "hoyo" means "hole"

[@eltalraffa]

Marilyn Alvarez I mean phonetically ojo al pronunciarlo usando la j como sonido "yei" suena a "ouyou" que es mas cercano a hoyo que ojo. Saludos desde Atizapán, estado de México. Si no me entiendes usa google translate

[@jamespoteat9361]

I own one and I take it to campgrounds with my RV.

[@FordraptorF150]

What Ford made it? Really

[@ojocommuterscooterbyojoele9377]

Hi OjO Electric makes the Ford OjO. We are a licensee of Ford.

[@eldiablo8019]

This will be good for Ford, since they haven't shown much interest in building electric cars, they can become an electric scooter company.

[@thiagoalvarez3302]

Muscle apply through context significantly computer question economics along tie.

[@debashiskarmakar7966]

Alians are coming

[@evergreen-]

You have to be insane to prefer that $14,000 “premium” bicycle over this!

[@LeoMkII]

Ojo means eye in spanish.

[@tomewatson]

Where is your helmet?

[@AraceaeFanatics]

For that price, I'll look into it.

[@tradevalue]

👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@miiqbalrama]

Christian Slater, is that you ?

[@alexhein1738]

The future is scary

[@Belofsky1]

If you consider hipsters riding tiny scooter as scary then yes, yes it is.

[@Fals3Agent]

an e-scooter is scary?

[@alexhein1738]

Fals3Agent no cuz like in the past people never thought of a electric scooter

[@luney3232]

Shut up 🤐 old head

[@luigynkaren062011]

I'm sorry, but did you say 2,100 dollar's for a toy grade speed? Maybe if it went at least 30mph I would think about it, this is not worth it, at that price I can buy a Yamaha 50cc gas that would benefit me more.

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

damn, 2k for an electric scooter able of doing 50 miles? it would be nice to have one... if only it didn't look like it would struggle with any weight greater than 200lb

[@rajeshreddy2810]

It looks like it came out of pixar animation movie

[@tusharchugh4782]

Imagine this in India....thieves will just pick up these parked locked scooters on their shoulders and run away.

[@varkeychanthomas222]

Should be 1000$ in pricing.

[@windosa2006]

50miles on that skinny little thing? Why not make one that is like double the size like a normal scooter, and double the reach?

[@Oplix]

They need to replace Citi bikes with these.

[@TheTechnoBizz]

MR ROBOT?

[@stevema8332]

These stuff are all over asia..

[@chrisgunn4741]

Ouch! Having Ford written on it is going to have you fixing or repairing daily, lol.

[@ShaunMbhiza]

My driveway? We don't have those anymore.

[@andymartinez1426]

My boosted board goes 20 mph fast 💨 but this scooter should go up 30 mph better

[@Cutlerylover4life1]

they should sell it with a car like honda did with the motocompo

[@abdraoufx]

take my money!!!

[@MichaelDeStefano]

Unfortunately you can drive these things legally in New York City. Really basically anywhere.

[@thalez8040]

My honda supra x 125 cc just cost 1260 usd

[@knightrides6034]

Find a Soco TC

[@akj7]

Why are these so freaking expensive? I can buy a used VW Golf with this much. Got interested in the product, probably many students too, but for the price ... no!

[@morosis82]

Golf will cost a lot more to run, and potentially park...

[@TheJayair]

10% off for students.

[@flakeu]

don't forget the cost of gas, insurance, registration, parking, repairs, driving licence..

[@RossMKF1]

Jules A Yea lol I was interested for my 12 min walk to my classes at my campus till I heard the price

[@adamkimmV]

flakeu Pretty sure you have to take most of those into account for a moped too.

[@mrheru8627]

The future is hipster with small scooter .... 😂

[@stefans4562]

I'd rather have an e-bike. I live in Germany and as far as I know electric scooters are not allowed on bike lanes.

[@haydenpotter9115]

😔 a video told me it was under $200

[@tiramisu8359]

jesus whats with the 15 miles 15 mph. ur on scooter and u only get that? i could get that on my ninebot s2 no need scooter. for scooter u need somethin like 30 miles 30 mph.

[@luisl4984]

Get ready for the break down jokes...
