The S1 pro isn’t that much more expensive but features a larger battery and the tyres are still solid rubber, but hollowed out in areas to compensate for the bumpy ride, and the improvement is noticeable.

[@JB-sd4qc]

Great video very well explained and easy to understand. You have referred very well a great electric scooter easy to use and economical to buy. Thank you

[@user-ez9oz7ov5z]

I bought two scooters from them, s1 and s1pro. When I took the s1 out of the box, I didn't notice any problems. But when my son started riding it, I heard a loud thud and noticed a vibration. I found that the rear wheel has a defect. I wrote about this to the support company, and they replied that this is possible if you often use the rear brake. Then I showed that the scooter had traveled only 10 km (6 miles) and during this time a good quality wheel would not be able to wear off so much. I have written to them many times that I want to return or replace this scooter. But the company did not satisfy my request. They asked to record and send them a video where the problem of the scooter is visible. After they watched it, they began to ignore me. I strongly do not recommend buying scooters of this company, you can get a lot of problems that you will fix at your own expense

[@stevewheatstone1856]

Nice review. I purchased one as a second scooter for my daughter. I have a m365. Lot of scooter for your money but I find the throttle and brake too binary. Maybe I haven't got used to it but I find the m365 is much more relaxing and smooth to ride.

[@G-u-y-s]

I have a question out of the s1 and the s1 pro and the s1 plus which one is the best?

[@klausbrinck2137]

You can change the back wheel for a pneumatic one and also ADJUST the back suspension!!! Also, don´t overuse the folding feature of the handles, or they´ll became looser by time, use this feature only when unavoidable (f.e. too small trunk space), but not all the time...

[@SrogieGrzyby]

[@rox2u]

After having two of these for 2+ years I have some 50 cents to share. First of the front fork have a very weak weld to the stem. Lift the rubber protection and you see. My son was riding when the thing came apart and the wheel folded it self under the scooter. He wasn't serious wounded but that was just a fluke. I have repaired that with strong welds on both sides of the metal. The front shocks is a joke, there is a plastic shim that the stem slides on and the fit is to tight. When riding you hammer the suspension to bottom out and it stays that way. Return spring can not press it out. I fixed this when I did the repair on the fork by grinding of some on each fasett. Battery last ok for two years then they go down i capacity fast. Rear wheel is more plastic than rubber, very hard but I suppose that have less friction on hard surfaces. However it is easy to make a flat spot if you stomp on the rear brake. After that the ride is not smooth. I prefer the solid tyres and the next gen of these have better sets front and back.

[@alexmarian6656]

How is it long term?

[@Exvesu]

I have this scooter and i went off road ing at night and the ride was great also I was out there for like an hour and the battery bar went down 1 percent it was also raining and the tyre grip was amazing my dad's kinda skidded a bit he didn't have the same scooter as me tho and the lights was also very bright.

You've done a great review,but it does have cc, 11kg is EXTREMELY light for a e-scooter and for commuting usually you would need something more powerful unless you live in a country where bike transportation is well adopted as this scooter will be a bad choice in traffic. I do like the warnings that you're giving like the foot stand scratching floors as this is something that I won't have the foresight for. Altogether I did enjoy your video.

Thomas Desmedt I personally try to avoid riding it in the rain as it’s not ideal in the wet. Both for the electrics of the scooter and the grip issue it’s riding in the rain. It would survive a light shower if you were caught out but it’s best suited to dry weather imo.

[@JasonTDolan]

In the UK, electric scooters are classified as motor vehicles, which are “powered vehicles”. To use these vehicles, vehicles need to pay taxes and purchase insurance, and vehicle users also need to have a driver's license. In addition, the UK's Highways Act of 1835 stipulates that the sidewalks on the road are unique to pedestrians and that no vehicles, including scooters, must appear on them. Currently in the UK only electric scooters (e-scooter) are allowed on private land and are prohibited from being used on public roads and sidewalks. Police catch you, they will charge you and scooter will get seized and never returned. You will go to court and get a big fine. Better off buying a mobility scooter since they are legal and can do 15Mph.

Do not complain about the weight! The chinese will take notice and produce a complete piece of shit that is 30% lighter but breaks down fast. That is not what we want.

Good value, though ill stay on my Gotway TESLA EUC. Range 70km (at around 30-35km/h as i weigh 90Kg) top speed 50km/h...though dont try this unless you know about the warning signals ;-) Normally i cruise at 40-43km/h to be on the safe side.

The typical "oh great review" then proceeds to "ill stick with my brag brag brag" get out the house and go have fun instead of feeling like you need to brag about your much better scooter to everyone

@@redmdc I personally feel that EUC riders have good reason to brag, I mean, have you tried riding them? Practically impossible to stay upright and they'll throw you off at every opportunity. They're basically one-wheeled high-speed death machines! 😁
