MiniMotors Dualtron X PoV CRASH | Electric scooter runs over skateboarder

We take the Minimotors Dualtron X out on a group ride in San Francisco with Baesk8. The Bay Area Electric Skate group is an inclusive group of electric vehicle riders. We ride everything from OneWheels to E-Bikes to Skateboards and more. This electric scooter is one of the fastest e-scooters on the market for purchase, and I love it. Not everything goes to plan during the ride though, and we have a minor #crash when I decide to run over a Skateboarder, very sorry man! Luckily everyone walked away from this one, but lessons were learned.

Now I know why riders leave a sizeable distance between each other when riding in groups 🛴

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, always good to have plenty of stopping space. When you’re riding in a pack though, it can be difficult to always maintain that. I should definitely be more cautious though.

Great video, glad no one got hurt, my Dualtron X is being delivered tomorrow morning, super excited to ride it, at least i was able to watch your videos of the X while waiting for it to be delivered. 👍

[@AlienRides]

Ooh, congrats on the purchase, you’re going to love it!! Have you ridden a Dualtron before? It’s got s LOT of torque with maxed out settings which makes it insanely fun, and also scary at the same time. Nothing like it.

[@nyceuc2660]

@@AlienRides Yes I have, I own the Dualtron Ultra V2 and i love it, it's nothing like the X though, the X is on a whole nother level. They are alot of fun, expensive but worth it, I think.

[@xorbe2]

Have the Thunder, I'm having a hard time seeing the +2K value in the DTX? Wish the Thunder had a better suspension but not for that price.

[@AlienRides]

@@xorbe2 Thunder is a great scooter for sure, and not everyone will necessarily want the +50 lbs of the DTX. Personally I think both make great scooters and I still enjoy riding both. The biggest value in the upgrade for me is the massive 49ah battery - I love being able to ride all day.

Ah battery that's where the money is going, thanks.

[@1woodmerchant]

I’m so jealous. I would love your Rion. What a scooter man!!!Here n the UK (London) we can’t even pop out for a little fun or a pint of milk without being stopped. Top speed here is also only around 15-20 miles an hour. Gutted. Can only watch you guys having all the fun in your videos. Keep them coming 💪😎👊

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for stopping by. I'm really hoping they change scooter laws in the UK soon, stay strong.

[@davedeluria]

The DTX brakes are woefully inadequate. With so much weight and puny 2-piston MTB brakes, it's not going to stop as fast as one wants. I set ebrakes to 4 but even with it higher than normal I have to maintain a 2 car distance between anything ahead of me. Great video!

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, that's a good point, thanks for the comment. In this video you can hear the rear brakes locking up and sliding out a bit. The ebrakes were only set to 1, since that's what I got the scooter at and as a result I think 4 is definitely necessary. It would help leverage both motors a bit more for braking I think. I think that if I had ebrakes to 4 this incident wouldn't have happened.

[@twistedjiji]

Hope you guys are ok and no one was seriously hurt. I also picked up the X and for my riding (so far), I've not had to set it too high for the e-brakes. Is it possible to swap the factory brakes/discs for something more effective down the line?

[@darrellwesh7352]

If you had ABS brakes setting on it wouldn’t have happened

[@AlienRides]

​@@darrellwesh7352 interesting point, from what I gather ABS allows you to keep more control while braking, but does not reduce braking distance? It would definitely be good to test for sure, maybe I can make a video on it. Still not a fan of the constant pulsing of the Dualtron ABS, but if it's safer I should probably use it.

[@darrellwesh7352]

Alien Rides there have been videos on the Thunder. ABS is the fastest braking

[@jasontomica8938]

Nice music and stunning ride, that dualtron x is the Cadillac of all scooters.

[@AlienRides]

Yes, the DTX is definitely an awesome scooter for sure, but maybe starting to push the boundary of what a scooter really is. Can't beat the fun you have on it though.

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for stopping by. This was mostly just shot on a GoPro Hero Black 7. Dualtrons are really great scooters for sure.

[@AlienRides]

Jump to 10:00 for the crash. Unclear what speed I decelerated to, but I am pretty sure the impact occurred at < 10 mph, still a lot of weight at any speed to get hit by though. Stay frosty boys and girls, you never know what's going to happen.

Nice video bro, take care with your rides. How far that bigtoy of yours çan go? I mean how much kilometers the battery can last?

[@AlienRides]

Thank you! The battery in this thing is massive, and that’s part of the reason I love it. With a 49ah battery, I think you can get about 40-50 miles of hard riding. (Manufacturers say you can get more on other models, but often only if you ride very slowly)

[@tiaguerra7002]

Careful and don't go to fast jus relax and enjoy the views,stay safe

[@RCDevotee]

Glad everyone is okay. It wasn't your fault as any pack riding is not going to allow for great braking distance. That speed wobble the e-boarder experienced is one of the main reasons I don't get one for commuting. You can be a very skilled boarder but all it takes is one big bump or pot hole and you will be launched. Scooters with suspension are just super stable at speed.

[@AlienRides]

Yeah, when riding in a pack these kinds of things will happen. If a vehicle without disk brakes was in my position I think they wouldn’t have been able to brake as quickly and there would’ve been more injuries. Thanks for the reassurance.

[@RCDevotee]

@@AlienRides There is nothing that was riding with you that could have stopped any sooner. It is just the risk that everyone takes out there. I am just glad it didn't happen in traffic with cars. I am going to stay away from e-boards and just get faster scooters :)

[@Huskiefluff]

There is actually a bunch of things that could have prevented this. A: these devices are not really allowed on normal roads and therefore should not have been on them. B: these are going well over the design limits of these vehicles (skateboards are not really designed to go 20+ MPH, unless you have one specifically designed for it such as the giant wheel offroad ones. C: could have followed road rules and not been zigzaging between people like a jackass.

[@stephencrompton6480]

@@Huskiefluff A: Fair, depends on state and city laws but for the most part, yeah; B: Ever heard of downhill longboarding? Without motors they exceed 40 mph; C: Not really zig zagging, there is easily 10 feet between them to move around, otherwise he'd get pinched a bit going around the corner.

[@Huskiefluff]

@@stephencrompton6480 longboards have bigger wheels, longer base, and are much wider, meaning they are designed to do that. In the us California is the only state so far that allows these electric vehicles on the road, and thats only if the *electric propulsion system* is 1000w or less, all of these vehicles are well over that standard and therefore are 100% illegal.

[@ROBB_DEEP]

?: Say this was your main mode of transportation in SF.....what measures do you take for it to not get stolen? Also can you bring them into shops/stores w/out any issues?

[@AlienRides]

You can bring many scooters into stores, but the DTX is a bit of a different beast. At 150 lbs it's massive and too large to realistically bring inside many locations. It does have some nice security measures though. The fingerprint sensor and locking wheels make it difficult to steal. I would feel comfortable leaving this scooter outside for short periods of time with those measures and also a strong u-lock.

I am surprised it is legal to ride on public highways. The probability for accidents must be high? I believe in future it will be either banned or highly regulated, such as insurance, license plates and road taxes.

You might find it interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnbn62Be6urr6s There are two bolt holes though, and if you put bolts in that it's supposed to make it rock solid, but it's a bit harder to fold in that case.

That's fucked up. I was going to comment on the last group ride video what if somebody wiped out in front of you. That thing's a freaking tank. Luckily the outcome was not what I was thinking. I was thinking worst-case scenario that you actually ran him over and crash pretty bad yourself at a much higher speed. Be safe out there. And by the way good reflexes!👍✌edit: the reason why I said good reflexes is because you did a phenomenal job. If you would have laid on them brakes couple seconds before you did you would not have had any control over the steering and plowed him right in his back. 150 lb in the back shit would not have ended up too good. Excellent job of assessing the situation to see what direction he was going in and breaking at the appropriate time where you still had control not to run him over bad at all. He's lucky it was you behind him and not somebody else on that Beast.👍👍✌

[@AlienRides]

Hey - sorry I missed this comment, but thanks a lot. You're right someone wiping out in front of you can definitely cause a domino-like effect. I'm lucky I was on a tank as another person on an esk8 would've probably flipped over him. No damage at all to the Dualtron X tank or myself luckily.

Sad what happened there to scooters 😭

[@mackattack8627]

Another high speed wobble and fall glad he ok but it's shows me again the max speed to push them eskate boards and uni,s seems that approaching 40mph on them is the limit before experiencing high speed wobbles on my race bikes without a damper we normally expect this above 100mph if the berings in the neck collar or front rim is bad but on the e skate board it's the zero suspension and small diameter wheel size that makes them prone to high speed wobbles with the uni,s it's the one wheel zero suspension for stability that cause their high speed wobbles around the 40mph mark nevertheless as a day one rider I wish everyone safe fun always but crashing is part of being a Rider only we can understand but I'll take wings over a fall any day 😇

[@AlienRides]

Optimus Prime well said. Every vehicle has its limits, props to those who keep trying to push the limits, but hope everyone stays safe. Fast PEVs are new and the DTX is the first factory scooter that comes with a damper for higher speed stability. It’s going to be interesting to see what develops in the next few years. I know us speed junkies are going to keep pushing manufacturers for faster and faster vehicles.

Thanks for the feedback, but what is an ESB??

oh duh, electric skateboard?? 😅

@@AlienRides I doubt if you'll quit coming up behind them, but you'll be ticklin' the break lever eh? BTW you found the coolest POV for shooting it

@@AlienRides I run a group in Poland in my city on FB which is called E-KO MOBILNY CHORZÓW. I place your movies there if you want I invite you to the group. For a month we will also have DUALTRON X in the group and for now we have ZERO 8,8X, 10X, KingSong 16S, INMOTION V10F, DUALTRON THUNDER, INOKIM QUICK 3 and about 15 pieces Xiaomi M365. I also invite you to my amateur channel YT. Regards from Poland

[@robblackmore8838]

You don't know how lucky you are to live their, not just the law. Here in the UK it's still illegal to ride scooters. Hopefully this will be changing soon, in the meantime I'm stuck watching others.

[@AlienRides]

I definitely hope that things change over there soon. I know my buddy Ben Fox and others are fighting for it, so hopefully it does!

[@Ist...]

same shiiieet in Russia, but who cares. just pedal to the metal ! cops wont stop u unless it stalls 10-15 m away from them.. neither r gunna chase u down. so dont be a naB/pus and make a fist since e-scooters have more mobility than everything else u can ride everywhere. Also keep ur battery at least 20% to lose em/. must keep the engine running and never tow it with 5% charge in front of their face at choke points .To nabs: just get licence for CBT categories . izi-pizi lemon-squeezy.😎

11:16 man don’t beat yourself up, when you race you know there’s a big chance for a crash, we all take that risk every time we go faster than we should. Especially when you’re riding in a tight group on open roads it can get really sketchy, you did your best to stop and manoeuvre around him without causing an even bigger accident yourself. You actually did pretty damn well in that situation, it could have gone much, much worse man! one shared master cylinder for brakes (dual output of course) will really help reduce the temptation to skid the wheels when emergency braking. Always remember, optimal braking is just under the traction loss line. A lean to the right would have sorted you out a bit better than haunching down too, but it wasn’t exactly a situation where you could be prepared, that happened about 3m in front of you at high speed. You literally have about 1 second to react, that’s 1.5 seconds less than an average alert person driving a car. Two abreast on a lane at any time, that’s the rule here in Australia for motorcycles, any more than that and we get serious crashes from high speed anxiety with someone so close. It’s totally different when you’re racing though, but the idea remains the same still, safe passing techniques means going home at the end of the day, most of the guys riding are still inexperienced and too eager and there’s no real regulating you guys, that’s impossible ;) It would probably be a great idea to get the group together to do riding training together, practising proper techniques and pushing for the pro circuit. There are a lot of young kids riding with you guys. Ps I don’t know how many times I ate shit on my longboard when I was living in the mountains (it wasn’t electric) they can get so sketchy so easily, the speed wobbles are insane, especially on most diy systems because of motor synchronisation issues and serious peak outputs. Not to mention maybe not the best mounting solutions for some trucks and the likes 👌 I’m not gripping on anyone at all, I still love this shit, that guy knows that he fucked up bad, he lost it on a reflector by the looks of it then whisky throttled. Longboards are chronic pains in the ass for that one. I personally would like to see all road reflectors and speed bump/shoulder bumps gone for that reason alone. 😂 (but they need to stay, they’re actually usefeul)

[@AlienRides]

Nice job breaking down the crash! Proper riding awareness and drilling probably could've prevented it. Drilling quick stopping and evading so it becomes second nature would help a lot for sure.

[@JamiePineappleWyatt]

Alien Rides cheers, I love doing analysis of things like this so I can learn for myself too, being in a panicked situation is so different to practice. Oh yeah man, there’s definitely something to be said about a riding school for PEV’s, and a proper education on the rules too. Then a racing class too of course, but it really seems like the crew you’ve been riding with are trying to pioneer this for the industry in your area already! :D Alright man, goodnight, thanks for being so responsive to all my comments, I really appreciate the time you’ve spent out of your day :)

We have a similar speed limit here. Luckily it is not enforced very much yet 😅

Why do PEV riders refuse right of way to everyone? Why do they resent having to stop for peds in the crosswalk? Shooting yourselves in the proverbial foot.

Good points. That's definitely not good, always important to yield to pedestrians. 👽🖖
