I love that you made this video of the steering damper mod! It's going to help so many others out there with this same issue! It must have added a lot of time to the process having to set up the camera for all the shots. You're a good person for taking the time to do all of that for everyone! Im so glad the mod worked for you too! Your rides are going to be way more enjoyable now and so much safer!

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Absolutely, its all thanks to you too. Your guidance helped me make this possible. 😎👊

[@FlyingAA]

Great video. Could not have asked for a better explanation and recording of the process. You really are great at making instructional videos. Thank you!

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me. Working Alone and trying to get good camera angles with the best clarity is pretty hard. I even going to upgrade my old 13 year old 32 inch tv thats been giving me brightness flickering problems to a larger tv that has good brightness capabilities so i can see the video images better before i hit record on the camera 😅

Is there a way to adjust handlebars more outwards?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@yellowgirlt8439 hi, its ok please dont worry. Im happy you got to pick a scooter. There are so many choices out there that it can get overwhelming to pick one, specially if you can't test ride one for your self to get a feel for it before buying. Im doing good today thank you so much for asking. 😁🙏

[@Matsterious]

That car almost ran you over at 28:36! I wanted to see how you handled that. Great video!

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thank you. Yeah im definitely used to that. To be fair to the red tesla it was in a blind spot so it couldn't see me so rhat would have been an unfortunate accident if it would have driven fast at its turn. The blue BMW driver definitely seen me and he would have been at fault. Its also one of the reason i have a 2 channel mirror dashcam installed on this RS. Though i am seriously looking for insurance to cover accidents on this scooter. Just to give me peace of mind. 😅🙏

[@shawnm.8416]

Glad you solve the wobble issue! Was admiring the blue sky during your ride. Damn, those are some pricey scooters!!! Anything over a grand is too rich for my blood LOL! Btw, i updated the firmware on the Max G2 to v1.10.15 and it definitely has more power when you start. They also added a "park on slope" mode which is kinda handy so you dont have to hold the brake on a hill.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

That is so cool!!!! Man i wish i could ride my MAX G2 but im still waiting on Segway to eventually start selling the handlebar so i can fix it and start riding it again. I love these hyper scooters i have but rhere have been multiple times were i just want to ride a lighter weight commuter. 😅

[@jayparker393]

Really love your videos, extremely informative. I took delivery of the Inmotion RS Lite yesterday and immediately broke the steering dampner trying to tighten the steering. I have already emailed Voro motors. I noticed in your video that you didn't show the actual installation of the dampener itself. Did you have a difficult time with it?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@jayparker393 hi, yeah, they can break easily if over tightened. As for showing the installation of the damper, im pretty sure i did show it as it just slides right into the steering column area. It can't be installed until the steering column for the wheel is off. But it was very easy to slide back in and screw back on. 🙏

Subbed. For me, it's either the RS/RS Lite or Wolf King GT Pro. My Apollo Phantom V2, while a total blast to ride, just isn't enough anymore. Plus, the battery in mine has seriously degraded. About this steering damper issue, what do you think about casting an entire new one out of polyurethane?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@ballandpaddle not sure if it would work well. It might. Though.

I’m glad this worked out well for you, I know mine failed on me as well when I had my RS

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thanks man, it really is messed up that the Inmotion RS didnt work out for you. Even today some are experiencing issues with their RS and some are not. My only two issues were the steering damper speed wobble and the Vibration from the front and rear tire feeling like offroad tires with 40+PSI which others aren't experiencing at all. Still cant figure out if its my tires or something else.

[@hurdthenerd]

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 yea the gtr is a beast so far. They still upset me because when I received the gtr the battery wasn’t seated properly and damaged the connector around it. Speaking to them now about it. That definitely sounds like your tires

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@hurdthenerd they did it again? Good Lord what the hell. They made this BIG video on how they were going to be taking good care of the battery during transportation to avoid having any issues. Man, i truly am so sorry you have experienced yet another issue. I hope they move fast with fixing this for you. About the tires yeah im think thats the issue. Ill probably change them later.

[@adamstevens3428]

Dude ur videos rock. So much detail its perfect! Happy I subscribed. Lots of useful information. I absolutely love my rs. I’ve been riding it to work everyday. No issues other then it was to cold to charge so I put a heater on it for a lil bit and then worked like a charm./ keep it in my garage. First partial charge though! Def love it . Been a blast but def tearing it nice and alowly figuring it out but haven’t had any issues w it so far. I put under glow on it and my dash cam is great thanks to u! My little screws fell out tho so I have a little mod I need to figure out besides zip ties but all is good! Keep the videos up they are great

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thank you so much. Yeah the little screws for the Dash cam are M2 x 12mm sizes screws and if i remember correctly i think they are pan head screws. I hope your able to get that fixed. 🙏🙇‍♂️

[@adamstevens3428]

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 oh no it was the little screws for the rearview camera. I just ziptied around the cord and then to my reflector . So far so good but not a permanent fix

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@adamstevens3428 oh!!!!!!! I did the same thing with one of my orher scooters and the same WDR camera. I actually upgraded the screws to a larger number 4 or M4 size coarse screw and if i can remember correctly i believe the length was 1/2" but i also added the ziptie over it as well. In the RS i did a Ziptie too plus some 3M double sided tape with a 1/8" thick ABS plastic i cut up to make into a bracket for the rear of the scooter and i used a Heat gun to be able to bend it in an L shape and drilled 2 holes to attached it to the existing screw for the reflector thingy and that little bumpy pin thing on the side of the reflector to keep the reflectot balanced with the camera. It worked qns so far its still on by my surprise. 😅👍

[@kirozahariev502]

Nice job you should remove the cable in the middle to put them inside 🤝♥️💪🏻🇧🇬

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thank you, i actually did try when i first got it but the way inmotion designed their handlebar stem it wouldn't be possible without me having to heavily modify the stem by drilling a large hole to run the wires through it. I feel like having the cables hidden inside the stem would make the scooter look so much better. That's one of the reasons i just ziptied the cable loom on one side of the handlebar stem. Plus, it no longer smacks around the stem like it did at first. I thought there was a defect on my scooter, but then i found out it was the wire loom that was hitting the stem while riding, causing the noise 😅

[@aldrinargosino7979]

Bro what’s up! AJ here from Illinois! So I got my new RS a few days ago, getting use to it. I went to a faster street, put my RS on 3rd as I got ip to over 40mph and my steering handle started to wobble uncontrollably. Omg it scared the crap out of me, I just let go of the throttle, slowed down and pulled over. So the next day, I tightened up my damper took my RS for a spin. This time, I got up to 54mph and my steering handle again started wobbling like crazy. So, I think I’m going to try your idea and see if it will solve the problem

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@aldrinargosino7979 Hi AJ, i experienced the same exact thing lol. Its like what you literally just said i re-lived in my head lol. Yeah if you do this mod it will definitely solve the problem. I can go i to gear 4 and i get no more speed wobbles. The best part about this mod is that you wont have to excessively tighten the damper like you have to right now.

Well, looks like I will have to do this mod too after I order my RS lite, thanks for sharing the info. BTW does anyone have any updated discount codes? I have tried the ones listed and they don't seem to work anymore.

If you get the Midnight version from VoroMotors the code: TAG1983MIDNIGHT will definitely work, its a little tricky to add the code. You basically have to select to (check out) and then once it takes you to the next page to pay, click on "Show Order Summary" then type in mt discount code and save $200.00 on the order. I just tested it out and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@wesleyhidalgo1418 no problem, it seems after watching a few videos its the same method as my RS. Some of Kaabo's scooter have that split rim thing which is good for tire changes but bad because the split rim lip can break easier, obviously you would need a good amount of force for it to break but i did hear about it. It happened to Yogi steve on his GTR.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@wesleyhidalgo1418 i just finished seeing a VoroMotors video on the Warrior X GT i didnt want you to think i wasnt looking at any possible advice i could find and yeah i see what you mean. I would be afraid to break something on the scooter if i worked on it. I would have to buy some De pinning tools to carefully take the wires off the connector pin. I honestly don't feel confident to do it 😅🙏 does the tire have a tube in it or is it the tubeless style? Thats the only thing i wasn't able to get clear. It seems some have tubes and some dont but im not sure if its the users changing them from tube to tubless.

Hi, I was really interested in if you would recommend me to purchase the inmotion RS. I was trying to decide on a new scooter. I am down to Segway GT2, Nami burn e 2 max, and the inmotion rs. I like the adjustability of the inmotion rs. I know you rode the Segway gt2 not sure if you tried Nami burn e 2 max. But voromotors sent discount of $600 to me off inmotion rs. Would you buy now or wait? And see if inmotion makes mods on next years model.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

I would honestly buy at that discount price. I don't think you will regret it. The only thing i do recommend is the Steering damper mod i did. I ride in gear 2 which goes to 38Mph on GPS but 40Mph on the display and the scooter feels super stable at that speed as well. I havent had a chance to try out a Nami Burn E yet hopefully in the future i will.

[@TheDrunkenLT]

heyyy . What kinda jbl are you using and the thing that holds the jbl to the inmotion

Hello question rubber plate 3 mm and good?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@pedromonteiro7454 3mm is pretty much equal to 1/8" which is right below 3/32", so it should be fine. You might feel the movement on the handlebar a bit more firm, but i wouldn't say that's a bad thing as it will definitely still help with stability on high speeds.

Did inmotion fix this problem ?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Unfortunately not yet. It seems they probably aren't going to as not a lot of people are apparently experiencing speed wobbles at high speeds like some of us do so this will still need to be done. The most expensive thing in this mod is the glue, as long as the person doing the mod hasnt damaged their original steering damper like i did trying to tighten it more. 😅

[@TheRomabull]

Glue is always expensive 😂

[@mando-hondadc2992]

Why do you have to cut it tho is my question

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@mando-hondadc2992 that's a very good question, the main reason is because without cutting at least that little bridge in the middle, the damper won't be flexible to grab on to the steering damper neck/post so. It would pretty much still be the same without that bridge. This is also why in the video i told Inmotion that they should just do that from the start at the factory so the damper doesn't break from overtightening it. 😁👍 the mod does work, though. Im still riding around with zero speed wobbles.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@Mluis95 hi, im glad you were able to ask this, i would absolutely do this again with the RS. I feel like it's going to last me a while. Based on its performance, i would definitely buy it again over any other scooter. The Nami Burn E Max is another excellent scooter too so i think i would just come down to the design choice and whether you need to be able to adjust the height of the handlebar so it feels better controlled and the height of the deck should you want to raise or lower it more to make your ride feel comfortable.
