I know, a long old comment on an old video. I've owned one of these for a while now and thought it might be useful to share my thoughts: I bought mine largely off the back of this review, and others, and am mostly very happy with it. It works well, it's very robust, and given how much you get for so little money it would be fair to wonder what corners might have been cut - seemingly very little. Nanrobot: The company was helpfulness itself and communication has been great. Especially useful as the same cannot be said for UPS, the delivery company. Safe to say I will NEVER use UPS again and I will think twice before ordering anything form any company again if UPS is their only delivery option, sadly the case for Nanrobot. Spares like tiers and tubes are standard sizes so you can buy locally and avoid UPS. Scooter: It's an excellent scooter and I pretty well agree with everything in this excellent review. I'll only add that I bought mine for riding off-road tracks around Kefalonia in Greece and I've yet to break it, but it has nearly broken me! Possibly not helped by my being in my early 50's. Tracks here tend to be made of sharp fist-size and smaller rocks and on this scooter it's a really bone-shaking ride - the suspension is fine for adsorbing bumps and jumps but does not smooth out a lumpy surface. I'm not experienced enough with off-road scooters to say if that's a common issue or not but it's something to keep in mind. -Performance - It's taken everything I have thrown at it with aplomb, it's very fast, and the steep gradients aren't an issue at all. -Batteries - Good so far. You wonder with a cheep scooter if they might have cheeped out - range isn't far off advertised and no signs of deterioration. -Build - All the parts are robustly made and I have been unable to break anything. However, one area where the low price shows is in the finishing. Castings retain their sharp edges and where they potentially rub on wires, cables, and tube valves, it's worth spending a little while with a hand file. Also, as the manual suggests, it's really important to check EVERY nut and bolt BEFORE riding for the first time. -Tires - The off-road ones I have are great. I will say if you intend to punish your scooter it's really worth replacing the very cheep innertubes with better ones and filling them with slime for security. While you're at it filing the casting edges off the rims, especially around the valve stems, is a good idea. -Brakes - Discs front and rear, no complaints. You will want to set up the 'ABS' to your liking: None or maybe low would be my suggestion. I do get a lot of worryingly loud dings off the discs as I ride over rocky ground so I wish there was an option to protect them better - nothing damaged or broken so far and I guess this is true of all scooters given the wheels aren't big. -Suspension - Beyond it being bone-shaking over really rough ground I have no complaints. I backed the rear off a bit as I don't weigh that much. The font is what it is, if you find the front wheel gets loose or out of alignment hold the nuts at the top still and shove a large Allen wrench up from below and tighten from the bottom. NEVER from the top. As I'm not a fatty I might experiment with taking a couple of the springs out but I know many complain the front doesn't have enough travel. -Folding mechanism & pivot - Probably the least good part of this scooter. It's not bad but is possibly the weakest part of the design - if you find the front is getting loose on you this is probably the issue. Turn the scooter over and look for a 10mil nut at the pivot between the deck and front end. A long socket to tighten this will probably work wonders - remember to use a little blue thread lock! -Handlebars - I have no complaints, or indeed with the associated controls. Just be sure to loosen and then adjust the positioning to your preferences before you use the scooter. I'm not a fan of the folding handlebars as they are inevitably a weak point but I'm glad they do as it makes a surprising difference getting what is a large scooter in to the back of a small car - if I was someone who lived in a country where the inhabitants habitually buy idiotically large vehicles I'd rather have fixed handlebars. -Deck & rear foot stand - No complaints, nice anti-slip surface and plenty of room unless you have giant feet -Lights and electrics - Again, no complaints so far. I will say there are no indicators and the headlight isn't up to riding at night - you will need to upgrade these if you do! (I don't) Buy one today? Tricky - I'm happy with my D4+ 2.0. I wish the suspension was a little more sophisticated so it coped with rough ground better but I suspect that very minor complaint will be true of all scooters to some extent - get a trial bike if you want to go over rocks! At nearly 40km the range is very good for a scooter, although for where I live I wish it was over 60km. But scooters seem to get better every year so in 2022 there are likely better options for the money. I will say Nanrobot seems a good manufacturer and if you can get a deal on this model it's still a good buy - I won't be replacing mine for the foreseeable future. I hope that's of use to someone.

[@atsukinumata249]

Amazing. Thank you so much for this, I just ordered a D4+ 2.0 from RoadRunner and I’m so excited, and I’ll definitely be taking all the tips you’ve provided. I really appreciate it

[@grazz7865]

Quite a thorough review. Even more thorough than the video 😂. It’s what I thought about the suspension. Front looks a little stiff. I’ve owned 3 scooters so far and I’ve learned that the tiny tires are no match for certain road surfaces-especially the solid tires.

[@GT-ft6it]

Most thorough review I’ve seen this far!!!! 💯 keep up the great work my guy

[@CurtRowlett]

I really appreciate your reviews; they are honest and straightforward. I'm looking to move up to a faster scooter than my Ninebot Max, and one that will do a bit of off-roading. Your review of this Nanrobot D4 has really pushed me toward making the final leap! Much appreciated, Soldier.

[@theknifemaker123]

Hey man thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this vid. I LOVE my new NanRobot D4+ 2.0 scooter I wish my vid's were good as yours! You covered all the bases with your vid this scooter is wild fast for a scooter def not for beginners or kids lol, wear your gear kids lol. Thanks man you got a new sub can't wait for your next vid.

[@josieburns367]

Thanks for the cool video. I was on the fence about purchasing this scooter and you answered all the questions I couldn’t find on line. 😊

[@Maherdalal]

Great review, what would the voltage indicator be useful for please ?

[@go5582]

Hi, i noticed that the key ring looked dinged or kinked from my angle as yuh ou insterted the key. If so, will you notify the company about it. How are the quad front shocks , would you say like a Cadillac or a hond feel? Last question did this unit come with a tracking chip in it? Thank ride with a helmet. Nice video.

[@lavarball7538]

Does it keep the same power when battery is low i don’t mind a lil decrease but with Kuugo scooters the speed really goes half when the battery is 30% or lower

[@clevonhicks103]

Great video quick question my voltage meter on my d4+ when charging level doesn't exceed 58 percent what should I check or replace? Thanks

[@lavarball7538]

Does the speed significantly decrease when the battery is low like 30% and below?

[@aquious953]

Can you stand with your feet side to side comfortably? Is the steering as good as other high end scooters? Is the shorter length as comfortable as the d6+?

[@ericechipman1183]

How well is that scooter holding up,? Would you buy it again if you had it to do all over, I've been looking at these they look pretty interesting, I've been comparing this to an Apollo ghost,

[@adamwilliams1525]

Hi ...I love your videos...keep it up....I just want to ask for your help...I have this scooter...but it makes a clunking noise when I first use it..it seems to be coming from the controllers or hub motor...after about 1 mile it goes away....any idea of what it might be...thanks for your help...Adam

[@jackolbean4765]

is this the same as the TW Lightning minus the LG battery?

[@ScottRedstone]

I bought one last September. It is fantastic. I have almost 1000 miles on mine and have zero problems. It is fast so I got the seat. Living in Manhattan makes this the perfect city vehicle. Fast and sturdy. No problems with loose handle bars. In 3rd gear, both motors engaged and in turbo mode no problem keep up with car traffic.

[@Fullblown671]

Have you currently still have no problems with your D4+ 2.0?

[@AlienFrequency]

For the shots where the camera is following you, is that a drone? Very nicely made video, SKB. That scooter is SWEET!

Hey i need some help please what i need is a pic or video of a part of the folding mech on the stem how is the spring seats in side plz help anyone i tried to reach out to road runner but they keep giving me the run around

*The **Latest.Bike** Scooter was everything I imagined. I’m 6ft4 200 lbs and it cruises perfectly… worth every penny!!! Thanks Gotrax!!!*

[@emmarose02]

Gotrax???

[@macswanton9622]

Did you check tire pressure? They look a little soft

[@TheGrich07]

Is the front tire supposed to be smaller than the back?

[@corywebb5537]

Bought my first electric scooter about 2 months ago, just a gotrax but I love it, I'm saving up for but D4 now, can't wait

[@markerf16]

Same here.

[@buxtro7]

Iv'e owned of these exact models for around 8 months with over 4000 miles with no problems with the exception of a flat in the back but when I got the tube out it was the valve that must have had a large rock bind between it and the fork during moderate speed and we all know the fork was not giving any mercy so it is to be expected that would be the result, I was glad to find out that nothing had punctured the tire whatsoever as a matter of fact I will be replacing the tires in a couple thousand miles so they are nothing less than worthy of the performance of the scooter. and with that being said everything he covered I agree with 100%, well presented video in my opinion as well, expect nothing less from a military background. Only thing left to say is "at ease soldier".

[@rootstriker1618]

How does it compare to the Apollo ghost?

[@TheToyOdyssey]

I travel 8 miles a day from work to home. I also line on a hill. Is this the perfect scooter?

[@DJ-zl4fy]

Hey Soldier, any issue with the rain?

[@markerf16]

We bought 2 GoTrax's and I want an upgrade already. I want more distance with speed - dual suspension and I love those tires. Anyway I'm about to get the 2.0 and hope I made the right choice.

[@scotttimmons8775]

[@Stickerz-]

I've been thinking about getting a set of these quite heavily lately My fiance and I spent a weekend running around DC on rented scooters and it was ridiculously fun and we've been thinking about getting a set for traversing the cities quicker. I suppose my question is out of these handle. The bigger guy I'm fairly impressed it pulled you up the hill with no problem. I'm about your size, maybe a little heavier so it seems like these would be plenty adequate

Great video. I'm looking for a scooter that I can ride and be able to keep up with my kids. You mentioned the range for you ended up being about 20 miles using both motors? If you don't mind me asking how much do you weigh? I'm 220 so I need something that can hold up my heavy butt and still have a good range to keep up with my kids otherwise I end up having to walk back with a scooter because the battery was completely depleted.

[@SoldierKnowsBest]

Thx. I'm around 225.

[@blustem1]

Great vid! I'm buying the D4 3.0

[@MichiganPowersports]

Just ordered one for me and my girlfriend. Excited to go on scooter dates this fall and use them all next year!

[@MichiganPowersports]

We got the scooters and they are much quicker than we expected! If you go into the "P" settings and adjust #12 to 5 (1-5 acceleration levels) it will spin tires on the pavement with a 225lb rider on board. Very fast off the line and we do actually get to 40MPH top speed. Range is really 45 miles on eco mode and 25 miles on dual-motor/turbo. So far I have personally ridden 19 miles on a single trip, it was far more miles than most people will even be able to ride before their feet and legs get tired.

[@dannyjimenez9773]

It depends what state you live in

[@jonsmith3136]

I bought one of these I think it going to be great. I haven driven it at least 30 miles on full power. I'm 71 years old 160 pounds and it has been on flat streets and all pavement I do not take it on dirt to old for that the only thing that I wished is they would beef up the stick when I apply the brakes unit stopes fast and puts a lot of pressure on it and throws it forward and I got a lot of fear that it is going to break like I have seen other brands do here where I live Nanrobot keep up the great work and I'm waiting for a water proof one to come out in case it comes up a rain

[@rollofffrank2008]

I was interested until I heard $1300. For me and what I would use it for (8 mile commute a day, one way). For about $1000 more, I can get a Kawasaki Z125. This would be great for inner city use, though. Quick way to get around and you can pick it up and take it with you.

I've been in so many situations where I had one backpacks worth of items and I had my body brain guts and all that obviously but I didn't have anything else so why the hell am I using a giant ass car to get around? I bet you that if you were to somehow be able to convert this to MPG it would have a better MPG than a car even an electric one so I think that we should start using these instead of looking at electric cars I mean electric cars are better in the long-term but it would be quicker just to deal with these instead get everyone on board with these while working on electric cars in the background
