How To Do DIY Preventive Maintenance on E-Scooter Zero 10 Like a Pro

[@smolderingmess9]

This is high quality content! Thanks for posting! We just opened a scooter shop in New Orleans, United States and your kindness isn't forgotten!

[@JGVstream]

Hi Bradley King! Thank you for appreciating my work! Congratulations to your new scooter shop. I've been dreaming to open a shop also but this pandemic is bringing tons of uncertainties in our country. Thank you and more power to your scooter shop! Stay safe

The acceleration problem you mentioned is the MOST IMPORTANT and SERIOUS concern out of the things you pointed out.

[@JGVstream]

Hi DD, actually it's the smallest part yet the most dangerous part that should not be forgotten. That tiny screw on the throttle could bring tragedy on your riding experience. Thank you for appreciating my work. Stay safe!

What brackets did you use on you handlebars extenders and where can I find them? Thanks

[@betodruid4422]

I just got the zero 9 and i apreciate a lot your videos. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@JGVstream]

Hi Beth Druid, thank you for appreciating my work! Zero 9 was in fact my 1st scooter. You can ask me anything about it. Stay safe bro!

[@betodruid4422]

Now that you say, do you know something about Unicool chinese brand ? Do you think they can be worthy in quality?

[@JGVstream]

@@betodruid4422 From my personal opinion, Unicool is an OEM or maybe a clone brand of Zero scooters. Now if you're going to ask me about the quality, think about it this way. If I am not mistaken, Nike shoes are manufactured in China since their labor fee has low-cost and they are equipped with mass-producing facilities. It is not a secret that when China accepts brands for mass production, they also tend to copy the entire product and rebrand them. Same process applies between Unicool scooters and FalconPev's Zero Scooters. My scooter is made out from an OEM design, but for me, I had no problems with it. As long as it can deliver the specs I paid for. I hope I managed to answer your question

[@betodruid4422]

@@JGVstream thank you, will take the risk with one of them 🙏🏻👍

[@markru2]

Very informative on what I need to do when I receive my new Macury Grace 10 scooter from China which is the duplicate model of the zero 19 except I had more choices of battery configurations. I got a 52v 10 amp battery to save money but no 18 amp was available. Of the 3 videos I have watched, I found most of the tools and sprays you used but not everything. I hope they send me an Allen wrench or I will have to find a scooter store in nyc to help with maintenance which is not easy. Thanks so much!

[@robertm8401]

Thank you Sir!!! Picking up my own Zero10 later and this will help me a lot.

Awesome video bro! Keep it up. Hope to see more videos of your Zero 10.

Hi Nth! Thank you for appreciating my work, rest assured I will be posting more videos about Zero 10. Keep safe!

[@RaizenFenix]

@@JGVstream Bro, just a question. What's the diameter of the vertical stem that connects to the handle bar? Is it the same size with the Zero 9? I'm planning to mod it with another handle bar.

[@JGVstream]

Hi @@RaizenFenix, sorry for the late reply. I'm afraid I can give you a satisfying answer. Because the hole in the vertical stem which connects the " T " handlebar has a shape of oval but straight edges on both sides. Like this image i.stack.imgur.com/xKazZ.gif

Hi, you can check it on www.falconpev.com.sg, they have all the spare parts and attachments for Zero scooters

[@JGVstream]

If you're residing here in Philippines, www.streetwheels.ph is the official distributor of units, accessories and attachments for Zero scooters

[@mauriciovirmond9244]

Hi, great vid, and well explained. I see that you've got a pouch on the stem of your scooter. I also have a Zero 10, and I want to upgrade the range of it. Is that an external battery you got there? if so, how did you do it? Do you have a video showing the step by step on how to do the assembling procedure? Thank you, and keep posting your contents.

[@JGVstream]

Hi mauricio, thank you for appreciating my work! The pouch on my stem is actually a 2L Wild Man bag, it contains: - Xiaomi Smart Air Pump - Portable multi-tools - 8.8ah Battery with 12v DC in/out - 2x USB 2.0 ports for charging electronic devices like phone If you're asking about the battery, it's not extending the range of my scooter, its purpose is to give power for my 12V Atom V2 lights mounted on my kiddie bar and my to my Cree light on the bottom of my sterm. The battery gives power also to my horn. All of them are triggered by switch. I can refer you to the person who did the entire setup if you want.

[@mauriciovirmond7272]

That’s great, nice job. But, what I am looking for is to extend the range of my scooter 🛴, even though the range that I get is not that bad. I just want to have something close to 60km in one single charge. Anyway, have fun and ride safe 👍

[@simonmllerkristensen9640]

Great content! However you should not add WD-40 to the bolts as that will easier make them come loose. Instead you should add threadlocker which secures the bolts from coming loose from vibrations and protect against corossion.

[@JGVstream]

Hi! Thank you for appreciating my work and for your comment. There was one time that I experienced a creaking sound whenever I step on my deck. The technical support of its distributor told me that WD-40 could fix it by spraying it under inside those screws. And it really fixed it. However, I think the threadlocker trick could fix it anyway. Thanks to you bro. Will try it soon after this quarantine season

[@jinmicoco523]

Hi. How did you install the external Battery? How much voltage are you using on your extra battery? Thank you.

[@JGVstream]

Hi Mauricio Virmond, I have a friend who actually do customization for e-scooters. He's the installer of my external battery and the Mini Driving lights and the horn attached in my kiddie bar. I can refer you to him if you are interested. Let's talk on my email [e-mail], ride safe bro!

[@robertcastigador911]

Good day sir, what parts of the zero 10 to check if i will buy a 2nd hand? how to check if the battery condition is still good? Thank you sir, and more power to your channel!

[@JGVstream]

Hi robert castigador! I suggest you test drive the unit if you're buying a 2nd hand Zero 10. Try to do the ff: 1.) Check the brakes - Zero 10 has 2 kinds of brakes, Disc brakes and Electronic brakes. (You can google the settings on how to calibrate the Electric brakes). You can test the e-brakes by slightly pulling the brake levers. And if you pull it all the way, it will trigger the disc brakes. Both of them should work properly. 2.) Check the maximum speed - Try to lift the rear tire of Zero 10 and pull the throttle. On gear 3, it should render a maximum speed of 60kph. 3.) Check the suspension - Try to jump on the deck of your Zero 10, it should be bounceable 4.) Check the wirings, lights and the charging ports, see if they are intact and working properly 5.) Check the feel of the steering rod, it should be smooth when turning left and right 6.) Check the battery - for me, the only way to check the battery is to test drive the unit until it runs out of battery. You can easily see the battery charge of the scooter by reading its current voltage level. You can google the P-settings on how to see the current voltage. The battery should be drained at 42V. Refer to this image for more information shorturl.at/qsTU2 Sorry for the long read. Cheers!

Bro tire size question.. poasok kaya yunng 10" x 3?

[@froilanrobles1623]

Sir I'm planning to buy an e-scooter, my friend recommend me the Kaabo Mantis which is according to them a good one bec. it is powered by LG Battery. I've got confused bec my preferred unit is either Zero 10 or Zero 10x. Sir is this Skuts that u have uses LG battery? I'm asking this to convince myself that this is really the one for me just in case its LG brand. I hope u can help me with this. Thank you.

[@JGVstream]

Hi Froilan! Sorry for the late reply and maybe you could have a proper decision if I responded on your previous comment immediately. Zero 10 is not equipped with LG Batteries. Sorry to say, pero sa experience ko naman, never ako nagka-issues sa battery niya. In fact nakakapag ride ako ng 40km for a single charge.

[@froilanrobles1623]

@@JGVstream Good day. Sir thank you very much. Temporary close p rin ata ang Streetwheels s ngyon.

[@froilanrobles1623]

Gusto ko rin sana maitest drive ang Zero 10 at 10x para malaman ko rin kung enough n yung speed ng Zero 10 or enough n yung top speed dahil bk d ko n rin kaya kung mas mabilis p. Sir thank u very uli s pag reply.

[@JGVstream]

Hi @@froilanrobles1623 , major factor of the acceleration feel is the torque. I suggest that you consider the Voltage of the battery of your prospected scooter like Zero 10. It is equipped with 52V 18ah, which is the same as the 52V 18ah version of Zero 10x. Meaning their torque is almost the same, the only difference is their top-speed. Reaching the top-speed requires a lot of factors like inclination of the road, traffic, type of the road, tires, and of course, the time.

[@JGVstream]

Hi Froilan! Sorry for the late reply. Sa pagkakaalam ko hindi LG brand ang battery ng Zero 10. Hindi sinabi ng FalconPEV ang exact brand ng battery niya pero ang gawa pa rin siya sa 18650 Lithium-Ion na batteries. Thank you for appreciating my work, ride safe!

[@froilanrobles1623]

@@JGVstream Sir thank you very much.

[@InduIgence]

Hi sir. What tire sealant are you using? Advisable ba na gamitan both stock tires ni zero 10? And also, from the time na nag lagay ka, na-flattan ka na ba? Salamat sir! Same unit kasi tayo kaya i could learn so much from you.

[@JGVstream]

Hi True North! Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for appreciating my work! I used the "KOBY Tire sealant", you can easily purchase that in Lazada. Buy 2 pieces since one tire requires one entire bottle. The stock tires are ok as long as you won't pass thru broken pieces of glasses or sharp and pointed rocks. It's not that capable of passing thru rough road. From the time na nag-lagay ako ng sealant, hindi pa ako na-flattan sir, the sealant was installed last January 2020. I hope this helps your question. Stay safe!

[@InduIgence]

[@JGVstream]

Hi Kevin Rodriguez! Are you referring to my headlight adjacent to my stem? That is directly attached on the stem, I just used a longer allen screw instead of its proprietary default allen screw. I hope this answers your question. Stay safe!

[@KevinRodriguezYT]

JGV i want to add a U7 LED light 12V to my scooter 48V im thinking to connect the wire on the same wire with my normal light or should i use some fuse/ dc converter... i have Joyor Y10 and i already put led strip light with external battery i dont want to mess with the main battery😅

[@froilanrobles1623]

Sir have u ever tried the top speed. Is the Zero 10 Skut can really go 48kph?

[@JGVstream]

Hi Froilan! I've tried speeding up my scooter on a free and flat road, that time I've reached a maximum speed at 46kph. But if it could give me more time to speed it up, MAYBE I can reach the maximum 48kph. Considering my weight (~80kg) and the added weight from my attachments (5-6kg). Normally from the advertisement of Zero 10, they say it's maximum speed is 48kph, but of course without attachments and I think FalconPev always set the weight of the sample rider at 70kg.

[@froilanrobles1623]

@@JGVstream Sir we are in the same built, I'm 79kg.I think 40-48 kph for scooter is fast enough, beyond this speed is a bit dangerous, I don't know, I'm not sure that's why I will go for a test drive before I buy. Sir thank you so much.

[@JGVstream]

Hi @@froilanrobles1623 , for me the word "fast" depends on my current driving area. If I'm in a city like Manila or Pasig, 40kph - 48kph is really fast enough, but if I'm in an open-road area, wide and very minimal traffic, I could say 40-48kph is not that fast enough. But dude, Manila to Oritgas in 35minutes with Zero10 is really rewarding. Just saying.

[@ultimate_bohemian3867]

I appreciate your vids in the Zero 10 (not much love on the Zero 10 compared to the 10X). Kayo lang po merong real-time maintenance vids for the Zero 10, apart from Falcon PEV's channels. Ask ko lang po, what is that extra handle bar on top of the Zero 10's handlebar called? It's on 16:47. Salamat po, sir.

[@JGVstream]

Hi Raymond Dasoy! Thank you for appreciating my work! the extra handle bar on top of my Zero 10's handle bar is just an extension handle bar designed for bikes. As you notice, it doesn't really fit that well that's why I used long threaded screws with nuts and rubber pads to avoid movements caused by vibrations. I hope this answered your question, ride safe bro!

Hi Rey Aldrin Gawaran! Sorry for very late reply. Actually inabot na ako ng lockdown dito sa province so dito na rin ako nakakapag-scoot. In terms of rough roads, kinakaya naman ng Zero 10 kapag mild ang mga lubak at bato-bato.

Hi Augusto Abd! Thank you for appreciating my work. I can recommend it if you use it for city driving, for commute and moderate travel distance. It's not so heavy so you can easily cross foot bridge and its acceleration and torque can cope up with motorcycles and cars, well considering moderate traffic. The negative part maybe because since it's not that heavy, it affects also on its parts, mainly the batteries. The range is not that enough for long travel distance. I hope this helps your question.
