Super Soco CPx electric scooter review by KNOX ⚡

[@4kinglj102]

Good review on what the bike is and isn't capable of. As a owner of the CPX, there are a few things to know for any potential buyers. 1. Power - on a single battery, once you reach 30%, you will notice the power output will be reduced and lag. I don't know if this is the same for electric cars (interested to know). I don't know if this is a power saving thing but there's a very noticeable reduce in speed/acceleration. Especially up hill. 2. Range - this is definitely a city bike. 40/ 30 mph roads. I live 10miles out of Birmingham city centre so never really have to get out of 2nd gear. So from 100% battery and doing a 20mile round trip, I'm left with just over 40%. But I find the range varies so much when riding a few more miles in 3rd gear. I want the ride to be reliable. So if you do live move rural and will need 3rd gear for 40mph+ and doing 30-40 miles round trips, I would recommend 2 batteries. 3. Battery - this one is simple, those batteries are heavy. It's good that you can remove them to charge but think of 4, 6pints of milk in one shopping bag... You don't want to walk too far with it. Other than that, I find it great.... SOLELY for commuting. Fast enough to get ahead at traffic lights. Powerful enough to overtake slower drivers. Very comfortable to ride because of the wider and longer padded seat and I'm 6ft 4. Also I've never owned or rid a motorbike/ moped/ scooter before so this is easy and very low maintenance. Just see how well the battery performs after 5k miles.

Thanks for your feedback, enjoy it and all the best! Aaron KNOX

[@Finchley]

I have just ordered mine, I live in London so this makes a lot of sense for me. I also am getting it for the environmental factor.

[@spikethebluewhale]

I am looking to go electric (I currently have a Yamaha D'light) but need a moped that can deal with hills (I live in Istanbul which is very hilly). Do you think this model would cope with hills?

[@00Resev]

I was expecting a heck of a lot more from it. Thank you for your honesty.

[@AlexelleLee]

looking to get this between the Niu Nqi GT but was disappointed about the range to weigh ratio of the batteries. having 90Ah battery should net you more than 100kms at higher speeds. they need to improve the efficiency . still wanting to have a scooter that can do 200kms even if i can only ride it at 70kmh average speed. maybe in the future i hope so

[@low-costgearbudgettour714]

Aaron, loved the honest review. I’m a fan of ICE scooters but have only tried one electric car and one electric bicycle so far. They were fun but a bit too pricey for me. The cars range wasn’t enough for my commute at the time. The bicycle was excellent and you can still peddle. You mentioned 2040 as a date for ICE motorcycles being stopped from selling. I’m not in the UK but I read that ICE engine cars and vans will stop in 2030. Why the difference?

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It was 2040, but the day after we released the video, they changed it to 2030... how this will really be possible is yet to be seen and there aren't really proper plans from the UK government so we'll wait to see if it actually happens... what I know so far is that we are a long long way from being able to transport our whole nation via electric vehicles and have no where near the infrastructure to support it. Thanks Aaron Knox

[@KindOldRaven]

The only real problems with electric scooters and motorcycles is that batterypacks just... don't evolve all that much anymore. Sure, they last longer than the lead-based ones from years ago, but they still don't provide the range you would like. I can't charge at work so I need something to at least provide with (an easy) 60+ miles in order to be able to ride comfortably for a year of every day use. That's possible, but I'm not going to use something with a max speed of like 18mph. That, plus the prices of replacement batteries and the fact that a simple Sym Fiddle 2 can easily drive 130+ miles without stopping for gas at less than half the price of one of these make it a hard sell to me.

[@alexandermaximilienjosep-jn5db]

Cool 🎉🎉🎉

[@jamespatterson7809]

I was just thinking about trading my NiU in for the super soco CPX but your video has made me think again. Apart from a bit more top end. I best stay with the NiU.

[@shh711]

Whats the difference for you?

[@drawingboard82]

Good fair review. I've recently ordered one as I have a very specific commute that it should be ideal for. But yes, you get what you pay for and sadly electric bikes with "proper" motorcycle performance are in the £20000 price range.

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks, thats great, best of luck and enjoy it! Aaron KNOX

[@cosmodoc]

try a Zero Fxs which costs 10k and is very fast for a small bike!

[@Meatlove]

Thanks for this review. I commute on a SYM 50cc bigwheel scooter and was wondering whether this could be a replacement. I think I'll buy SYM's upcoming new bigwheel and ride that for the next few years. I hope that the electric scooter will evolve in that period to really become a serious alternative to the 50cc petrol scooters. They all have too much downsides at this stage.

[@vicietor]

Dont get the negative on the performance tho, is reallyyy fast for a scooter

[@jfedererj]

What you gotta remember with a small, electric motorbike like this is: are you gonna need to travel more than the estimated max range in a day? If not, you're golden. Because you just charge it up in the garage overnight. Reviewer says they get around 40miles per charge with 2x batteries but they also said they do a lot of 50mph+ A road stuff where they are. If you're commute or usage would involve a lot of 50mph+ A-road riding... this isn't the right bike for you, sorry. If you're commute or usage will mainly be in and around the city centre, where you're only gonna be averaging around 15-20mph through traffic anyway, and where the average commute length (one way) is about 6-8miles, then this is perfect. You'll likely get closer to 50+ miles of range (from the twin battery setup) so you just need to leave it charging overnight every 2-3 days.

[@seismic6402]

For a city commute, this could even be considered overkill. The Super Soco CUX comes in considerably cheaper and would seem to cover the requirements. Also, if you have a car licence, either acquired rights or a CBT would allow L plate free riding from the get go.

[@user-ze8xh5zu1o]

Excellent super soco & green energy 💪

I was just thinking the same. My SENTIMENTS exactly. Especially the video captures / narrative are spot on. I'm in the market for electric scooter 5k cap.

[@CrAzYGAMINGWOLF]

I currently have a 115cc Moped (Yamaha Delight 115) is it worth me buying this bike?

[@spikethebluewhale]

Yes definitely can deal with hills, no problems. Aaron KNOX

really cool and thoughtful, honest review - cheers

[@Halerno]

Great review. And, the bike is a danger, 90%rear breaking?? And yes, Londen, 2 miles traffic 1/2 hour?, ok, but you could walk or mtb or bicycle. Or a unicycle :-) but that is also dangerous. But fun, like riding this bike. Btw, and waisting disks and diskpads and therefore money because no regenerative breaking....

[@pmaragoudakis]

It has regenerative braking as per the spec sheet.

[@kentstray1]

I'm looking at buying a 125 equivalent electric scooter but I wouldn't buy this because it doesn't have enough power. I'll wait for one that has bigger batteries and a bit more power.

[@USIFvid]

Well for the speed I found it quite good with regards to price, but the problem is the battery! You can't buy high battery and replace it?

[@shaunvassallo]

Hi, what are your thoughts on this electric scooter when you have a passenger? Thanks

[@KnoxArmour]

I don't think it would be powerful enough, and the range would be even worse. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@raassskkkk]

Hi, would you know how to de restrict one of these please ?

[@joistein]

I would love to have one if the range was not so short. Waiting for a scooter that can go 200 km....

[@photojames]

Good review, but if you do another e bike can you tell us about the insurance group and about m.o.t as it's a new thing for everyone.

[@KnoxArmour]

Hi, tbh we asked for an insurance quote from Devitt, our usual insurance partner, but they couldn't provide a quote on it as it wasn't properly registered yet with the bigger insurance firms... MOT will be as per normal as its still a powered two wheeler. Thanks Aaron Knox

[@photojames]

Cheers for the info

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

Hy, what do you think what range would i get if i would travel with a passanger, driver weight 55kg passanger weight 70kg, and would make it into a grocery shopping vehicle with as much box and plastic bag holders as possibel? Thank you in a advance

[@KnoxArmour]

With that weight and other items, based on us averaging just over 30 miles, I would imagine around 20 miles with the 2 batteries. Thanks.

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

@@KnoxArmour Nice thank you for sharing. You wanted to write 20 miles more so 50 miles in total with 2 batteries? And what do you think of the bmw c evolution? Would that have more miles with this setup to cover, and reduce less range with incresing payload to the metioned degree? bmw c evolution has two bttery - range option single is rated for 60 miles, double is rated for 100 miles. THe thing is i only have a1 license and don' want to upgrade. But a far as I know the c evoltion base range package is driveabel with a1. Do you know about the extendad range variant is it also a1 capable. Couse somwhere I read that the c evolution with extendad range variant as peak power of 35kw, but I only read this on the bigger model. I don-1t know that is there a power diffrance between the the 2 C evolution or just battery size so rangeand a minor acceleration and weight? What do you know about it? Thank you in advance if can help in this too.... :D

[@mixalismauromaths777]

hello my friend! You said tha you can do 18- 23 miles in reality. But wit what mode? Because i m thinikink to buy the scooter for delivery in the city.

[@seismic6402]

Was really close to going electric for my first scooter, but decided against it at the last minute. Kind of got the impression from multiple sources that the range is based on the most efficient driving by a 75kg rider without stopping at traffic lights or going full throttle at any point. From new, the battery life will inevitably gradually get worse. At some point a new battery or batteries will be required and they are not cheap. I figured, putting even £10-£12 of petrol a week in a cheaper scooter isn't too bad and still only £22 road tax. Also, it isn't uncommon to be able to get ABS and traction control on a petrol scooter and still come in significantly cheaper than this. Perhaps the technology and cheap production of batteries is still around 5 years away and let's face it charging points are not everywhere yet.

[@serge470]

This scooter still make sense for those who don't do more then 20 miles commute a day, but only with one battery because its cheaper for one grand and still outruns petrol scooter in few years

[@dr.kawasaki7380]

*That was a right good review* . The cpx handles hills with a heavy boy on no probs, until we hit *25% battery* and we are in granny mode. *For London* , yeah that'll do, will get ya home -work-home . For storage I got a giant back mount. Could do 80mph on a 125cc , so 55mph kinda sucks. *Nice Job* 👍

[@richsmith8938]

Not a bad review but it seems you didn't know much about the bike before riding it. Right? SS says 3.5 hrs to charge 1 battery. You seemed surprised.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes read that it takes 3.5 hours to charge... but that is for 1 battery, not 2. The reality is that hauling 40kg batteries out and having to charge them for 6-7 hours every 40 miles is not good transport experience imo. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@KnoxArmour]

Bro 6ft isn't that tall, literally an inch or so taller than a dude at 5'10-5'11 with shoes on. If you're like 6'4, then be worries.

[@CrAzYGAMINGWOLF]

Why are you using the front brake 99% of the time? You know you're supposed to use the back brakes more right?

[@KnoxArmour]

On motorcycles, you use the front brake for the vast majority of braking... some riders have even won world championship races without using any rear brake. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@CrAzYGAMINGWOLF]

@@KnoxArmour I was taught to always use the rear brake because if you start to slip, you can control it easier. If the front brake slipped, you're screwed as there is no way to regain control.

[@solentbum]

The reason to use the front brake for stopping is that as you apply the brake progressively the weight is transferred to the front tyre to better grip the road. If you use the rear brake the opposite occurs, and you end up with a skid. It's the reason that big bikes have twin discs at the front.

[@arundeula3694]

$ 5000 in Nepal 🇳🇵 Company claim 100km in single battery.

[@hvhvgitaar]

“Don’t bother with the riding modes” …That really shows the reviewer doesn’t understand how the bike works. In town, on mode 1, you get a much bigger range. With normal mixed riding , most owners report around 90-100 miles on 2 batteries. Battery charging: when you charge two batteries at the same time (which you can), it takes 4 hours. This looks like a poorly researched and executed review.

We use these as the vehicle of choice for my courier job, delivering groceries to the local neighborhood. Our bikes are limited to 30mph, so you find yourself either getting in the way of other traffic, or being overtaken by everyone, including those with electric bicycles... There seems to be a momentary dead spot when giving it the beans from a standing start, but not sure if that's down to the artificial limiter that's been put on. I'd love it if someone could tell me the secret code to get full power back 😉. The suspension is also another bad point. To me it feels almost as if they just didn't bother, just stuck some hollow scaffolding poles where the shocks should be... However, once you're up and moving, as long as you're not in a hurry, it's kinda fun.

[@memsybabe]
