Is this Electric Scooter the Perfect Commuter? iScooter i9 MAX

Is this Electric Scooter the Perfect Commuter? iScooter i9 MAX
In this video we take a look at the iscooter i9 Max. We've tried the iscooter i9 before but this one has a more powerful motor and suspension. Will that suspension tame the hard honeycomb tyres and make the scooter more useable over rougher terrain? Let's find out in this first impressions review.

We just got 2x of the same scooter, just one question, the front suspension on ours seems fake, it doesn't move 1 cm at all, i have also lubricated it with silicone lubricant. Is it supposed to losen up or it's a fake suspension? i saw you were jumping on it at the beginning of the video and looks like it's working... ours is really hard/stiff. thank you.

I'm a electric scooter fan I have owned many electric scooters over the past 15 years my favorite scooter has to be the techtron ultra a great scooter the only thing I didn't like was the tyres prone to punctures I now own a aovo es80 19mph top speed only thing I don't like is the standing platform not wide enough for my feet

Really 500w ? Possible to swap hard tires by pneumatic tires? Thanks!

[@woofercivic]

It's my third scooter, first of the Iscooter brand and very impressed with the quality and general output. The only issue is that the controller behaves too mild, takes too many seconds to give all the power in order to not making slip the front (traction) tyre and when starting a steep hill won't give the max. output until reaching 7/9mph. All the rest is awesome for the price. There is an identical scooter called Isinwheel S9max, same manufacturer

Thanks for sharing. If you think this one is mild you should see the windgoo m20 i tried.

[@aquantumtrost3590]

Hi all, i got this scooter today with the front and back suspension, very nice driving comfort overall, they did some good adjustments to the previous version of the i9 max. Especially the rattling of the back mudguard(cable got severed after 1 month use because of the vibration in the old version). In terms of price for value i can give this scooter a 9.5/10 pro + powerful motor, can climb up to 25-30% slopes depending on weight + very comfortable with the 2 suspensions, you will still feel little vibrations because they are not air tires + app with many functions cruise control, kickstart, and you can lock speed limits if you want to drive legally in some countrys. + light is very bright cons - in my case the electornic brake is almost non existent, in the older i9 max that i had you could really feel the power of the electronic break, but on the new i9 max it is almost not recognizable. Maybe the manufacturer did not a good job in adjusting the electronic brake. Can you somehow adjust the electronic brake? You probably have to adjust it directly on the controller via software.

Hi. I bought this scooter 2 days ago. My husband weight is almost 90kg but front shock absorbers are immovable as fixed. Do you have the same experience?🙂

[@aquantumtrost3590]

@@Eva-jg2nn I never took apart the front suspension because it's very difficult without proper equipment. I would just leave it as it is in my opinion. But the tools that you need should be at any hardware store.

[@HUNpusi]

​​@@Eva-jg2nn I faced the same issue. I tried to disassembly it, or just figure it out how to fix. For me, the screw was damaged, I couldn't unscrew it. But! My suspension was stucked at the lower point. I jumped with my 78kg on the front suspension, It didn't even move, until there was a small crack like movement. Then it went to the lowest point. I used a screwer between the suspension, to pull it upper, and it jumped to the highest point (what was higher than the initial). So the suspension works, but I think there isnt enough greese on it. I don't know how to fix it, I used wd40, I hope it can flow inside.

In your opinion, do the suspensions, particularly the front one, do a good job in smoothing the riding experience? I have the little brother of this scooter, it has no front suspension and the ride is a bit rough especially on stony asphalt

I do think it does. I have the i9 too and I love it but on rough ground it's a vibration fest. This isn't as good as soft air filled tyres but it does help.

This escooter is very good for its price (i got it around 360+ with the discount) and this thing can climb hills quick. I use it to go to uni and the hill to climb is steep but I still go around 12-15 with it. This is probably one of the best scooter around its price range and performance.

Error E06 after 50kms. Switched a board (sent by warranty), the error still comes on after the full charge. Later disappears.
