The Ultimate Electric Scooters Buying Guide

[@jackmaehoph4822]

It's SO much better when vendors do review & explainer videos, than when they are done by influencers! Vendors always know the right questions to ask & have the experience needed to give the right answers.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thanks so much! 🙌🙌

Influencers should correctly be called "manipulators".

[@hemigod2]

First of all, you guys have totally defeated NYC traffic issues. You’re getting a work out while having fun while traveling.. and you’re straight out from the future. you have taken a Group ride and turn it into a music video. And to say a promotion for Eskating is an understatement . And then the way you are experiencing the city is just phenomenal. You guys are on another level .more of this please

Hands down BEST buyers guide I've yet to see, awesome job R n' G! I've only just started my scooter journey with an Apollo City Pro and love it for my urban rides throughout Brisbane, Australia (Best capital city down under for urban bike paths & VERY relaxed laws, seriously we are so very lucky!)

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Hi David, Thanks so much for the feedback, great to hear you enjoyed the video! Really cool scooter and you guys really are lucky to be able to ride in public areas😀😀

[@beeeveee]

Most complete scooter guide I've seen guys. Well done! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll pop in. I used to visit Destination Triumph dealership a few times( 4 miles from your shop) with my street triple. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium. Biiig thumbs up!

[@janineparadiso5552]

Poetry on every deck is only a small part of this totally top instructive, informative formidable and comprehensive coverage on electric scooters. I am 64, have not ridden a scooter since I was 10 and I need a scooter NOW. Living in the subtropical forest of Australia, step 1 here will be to watch another 20 youtube videos Though they will all pale in the wisdom wake of yours. step 2 Find a shop with a gorgeous range of scooters Step 3 Consult with the expert and consider advice Step 4 Onto the 1st try out scooter and see if I can stand and move and so on. Australia might take a few decades to follow legal advancements in terms of road use. I'm excited.. What a brilliant help your video is. Especially if I can find a shop and my balance. Thank-you

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thank you so much for watching and your great feedback!! This is exactly why we made the video!! Australia has loads of great escooter shops and there are laws already for their use. If you need anything please just ask 👍👍

My main question after watching this, is how did you film speedy rides like that? Silent super smooth camera moves around scooter going 40-50 mph???

What is the scooter being displayed at 21:51, he is talking about the suspension but I like how the lights look and the tires look great also the suspension. Does anyone know the name of it?

That is the Nami Burn-e, an incredible scooter!! 🙌🙌

[@DoNE021]

11:04 The Puncture safety thing inside tyre save me a lot of times on my NinebotG30 scooter. Multiple time i stopped and think im gonna get a flat tyre. Had a 1inch small nail in the back tyre and toke it out, nothing happen. Accidentally driving on glas from crushed bottle on the road 5-6 times, to late for breaking. Driving on 2-10mm tiny sharp gravel rocks all the time, no problem. Drive every day with scooter 1year and around 7000km on it. Never had a flat tyre. Run with 5,5-6bar in the tyre and my weight are 85kg. The tyre cost dubble as a regular without puncture safety thing. But it is sooo worth it.

[@Cuplex1]

I'll give you credit for making a buyer's guide so good that someone like me who already owns an awesome scooter still watched to the end. 😎 Could you do a video about upgrading scooters, battery, display, throttle type, power management system, or for instance fitting fully pneumatic brakes on a scooter with dual wire to caliper brakes? If the difference is worth the time and effort etc. Cheers!

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Appreciate the feedback and we will definitely look into some of those video ideas 🙌🙌

[@etorrosltd]

to help someone decide what scooter they want...I ask these questions: What's your max budget? Onroad/Offroad or both? What's the top speed you want to achieve? What's the range you want to achieve? What is your weight? Now watching your video I see you ask similar questions too ....I really wanted to leave this comment here and congratulate you guys for such a great job you do ...plus I do have experience working with your company and I totally recommend you to all my customers! 5 stars from my side !!!!

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thanks so much! 99.9% sure it is the Dualtron Achilleus 👍🙌

[@ToneGreig]

Great explanation of everything newbies need to know - I've had an Apollo Ghost for 18 months now, with 2,200 kms on an almost daily commute. One thing that should be asked is "how fast are you prepared to fall off" (personally I'm at 40kph), and watch out for people using earbuds as they can't hear your bell! Would have loved to have seen this vid before I purchased, however no regrets as the ghost I bought with twin x 1000w and hydraulics is a gem here in south west Western Australia. Local Shire committed to a wheelchair access plan many years ago and is definitely favourable to e-scooters!

[@damienakatubbyable]

For me the biggest issue is punctures, electric vehicles are heavy and the tyres they often come with for me are not fit for purpose. Need to be confident your electric transport will complete the journey you are making!

[@RIDEGLIDE]

There are some really good puncture resistant tyres coming out now for scooters and the quality is certainly improving. Most punctures seem to occur through "rim pinch" where the tyres PSI is too low so dropping down curbs etc can be an issue 👍

[@drjanoshorvath]

I totally want to know your thought out of the Wolf King GT King Pro and the Dualtron Thunder 2. Which would you rather have, and reasons for why. Thanks

Thunder 2 is fast and fun, Wolf GT is faster. In our opinion the Nami Burn-E 40ah is better than both as it has better suspension, water proofing and support! All really cool scooters though!!

Obviously I prefer fast but with very low budget can you tell me until £400 what is the best ? Every one I know tell me to buy xiaomi what you think? Thank you

Yes the options are limited for that budget. There are cheaper powerful scooters but quality is so important, es[ecially for the high performance ones. Xiaomi are great in that budget, Apollo air pro are great, there are a few others that are all similar! 👍

This was EXCELLENT!!!! I'm deciding between the Apollo Ghost and the Varla. I think the Varla is similar to the vset 10 he was riding

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thank you!!! Depending on the model of Varla you are looking at but one is a zero 10X clone and not sure on the others. Cool scooters though, make sure there is good warranty support 😀😀

[@chanellenunez977]

Bro if i had a question, you answered it. Thank you. We or rather i need guys like present at these stores to explain this to me rather then simply feeding into my desire to get a fast fancy looking scooter that doesnt support me. It’s a toss up but i think the NAMI or the DUALTRON ULTRA 2. The nami has better lighting where as the dualtron has more speed but they both have the suspension im looking for but the nami has the tech display and wont have to replace the foot rest and the controller at the same time but the dualtron ultra has 56 plus mph and even more down hill. Thanks again Bro. Most definitely gonna save this video, this is all i need

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Thanks so much for watching and glad you found it useful! From our experience the Namis seem to be the best of the bunch 👍

[@rickdeckard9810]

One overlooked feature I find is the weight. Many live in apartments or have to go up stairs, commuting in the subway, so portability is quite important.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Definitely. The problem a lot of people have is they want high spec but light weight. These 2 don't really correlate as the more features, generally the more weight. Apollo have now made the GO which seems to fit into that bracket! 👍👍

[@X1GenKaneShiroX]

EMOVE Cruiser S is the absolute best and most ideal electric scooter out there. I doubt that there is any electric scooter in the current market that will ever beat that in terms of value.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Cool scooter and a great all rounder. Lots of better performing scooters though but, as you say, are more money 💵💵

[@kingjrlomelino8685]

Have you looked at the Mukuta 10+? Looks to be 400 more but goes 62/74 miles on a full battery

[@MIAMIDJ555]

vsett 10+ or ausom gallop. very similar but the Ausom is 1/3 cheaper . Witch one would you buy ?

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Sorry dude but we have never seen the Ausome. What are the specs like? From our point of view the Nami Klima is hard to beat if you can stretch to that!

[@johndavidson1602]

Superb explanation of the key components. Every new e-scooter buyer should see this as mandatory viewing. Would like to see comparisons on warranty, availability of extended warranty and support reviews as these were also important to me in my buying decision after seeing the issues my son had with his eBike.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

[@hominidaetheodosia]

I really need some expert advice here I’m 6 foot 7” I’ve got a size 14 feet I weigh about 22 stone- I need a scooter that isn’t going to draw everyone’s attention too much and I’m using it to carry lead acid batteries back and forth sometimes over hard ground and sometimes over grass but mostly hard ground with a few two or 3 inch bumps here and there- I’d really like the scooter not to be advertising itself or it’s speed too loudly, a bit of a sleeper, so to speak something with some grunt but doesn’t look it- i’m not trying to show off I’m trying to get a job done! there are absolutely stupid inclines here mostly with tarmac - some of the gradients are upwards of 15% surfaced- Lastly it needs to be relatively water resistant- It’s an impossible set of requirements I guess but any recommendations?

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Realistically with your size, weight and requirements the only scooter nearly suitable would be the Nami Burn-e but even that may struggle, especially with the added weight you will be carrying. Do you have anywhere you can test some out near to you?

[@hominidaetheodosia]

@@RIDEGLIDE - hmm i’m not entirely sure to be honest possibly- I get around all the time on the Voi scooters in my city I believe they are actually just Segway scooters underneath the horrible paint job- They are absolutely horrible and slow when carrying a 12v lead acid battery on them (my main daily task) if I try and do that up a steep incline I have to scoot with my leg which is a bit embarrassing- However I wouldn’t need too much more power to actually not have to do that so I’m thinking that should be possible Wow just checked out the Burn-e 2 max - looks nuts- just saw someone e drifting on it - crazy build - Extremely impressive thank you for the recommendation I’ll just have to save up

[@lostintheclouds8719]

This is the best video I’ve seen. I wish i would have seen it 2 wks ago when i started researching an electric scooter to buy. I took notes during this video. I’ll def check out your shop but i am in the states. I hope you can help me in my search for a scooter. So I’m female, 5’6, 197lbs. I will not be off-roading. This scooter will be strictly for a 4 block sidewalk commute/flat road w/ occasional pothole if i can go around it. My key points are i have to carry a backpack which realistically may add at least 10 lbs of weight to the load, so for this reason, i am shopping higher max load capacity and not the 220lb max load. I also only need it for 4 mos as i am in school. My other key points is I need to be able to carry this up/down 2 flights of stairs twice a day, so lightweight will be key for me. It will be going into a classroom, so portability is important. I am seeking lightweight material only: aircraft grade aluminum or lighter. No hi-tensile steel. Additionally, i went to test out lifting some kettlebell weights - i don’t know what these are made from but 15 lbs was completely liftable in one hand. 25 lbs was liftable but not for long. 30 lbs was not liftable. They didn’t have a 20lb kettlebell in stock but i did lift a 20lb dumb bell which felt like the 30lb kettlebell. I’m assuming an item made from aluminum will be much lighter though. As for going thru my notes from your video of what i prefer (this will be my first scooter), i don’t have a preference on throttles but the twist throttle peaks my interest since i am into motorcycles and what I’m familiar with). Tires: if we go solid, we go honeycomb since they seem to be the best out of the solids. What about foam filled though? The inmotion air pro has a rear foam filled will the motor is. If we go pneumatic, I’m seeking self sealing tires, so tubeless. Tire diameter: wide. One scooter I’m looking at (fluid mosquito) offers 8” x 2” but solid tires. I don’t want to be slipping around on this thing even if i am only going 4 blocks. Brakes: i think i would be fine w/ drum/regen. Not off-roading so don’t need hydraulic. Deck length/width: i wear a size 9W shoe, so length/width are important to me. I prefer a skateboard deck, if it’s 5” wide, i will overhang. I need pref 5.5 as a min, but i prefer 6” min width. Now 5” might work if i have length. If i have a skateboard deck, I’m good. Suspension: i think Spring will be more than fine for me due to the terrain I’m on Motors: because of my weight, I’m told i should go for at least 500w motor nominal. Rims: if we are using solid tires or tubeless, then fixed should be fine right? Controllers: i think single b/c of my needs Safety: i have both motorcycle gear and bicycle helmet, but for my needs, i think a bicycle helmet will be more than adequate b/c I’m not going fast and not off-reading. What do you recommend? I started off looking at Unagi one e500, fluid mosquito, skate-x pro (Bustin boards). Fluid customer service has been wonderful and they seem to have a great rep. Bustin boards never emailed or called me back. Voro has been good too. Have lately been looking at Apollo, Emove, G-Force, G-Cycle, and Taur. Can’t do Taur b/c they won’t be shipping til 8 more weeks. G-Force looks awesome but they don’t sell replacement parts nor does G-Cycle which looks better spec wise than the Unagi. The Apollo and Emove are more scooter than i need but they’re so nice. Fluid sells all the replacement parts as does Voro, but Voro offers aftermarket. Fluid has a great warranty, most of what i have looked at offers a great warranty. I don’t have a budget. I will spend for the right thing but i only need it for 4 mos and i don’t feel i need to spend $1,000 or more. Everyone says the solid tires are crap. I only know how a stunt scooter feels (polyurethane wheels) so will the honeycomb fill softer than polyurethane wheels or harder?

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Wow, thanks for the feedback and we love the detail you are going into. We would avoid the Unagi unless they have seriously improved their build quality. We had a lot of issues with the front wheels coming loose. They look great but didn't last. The Mosquito or Etwow you are looking at is great. As long as you don't have really steep hills it will be fine. The tyres can be slippery in very cold or wet conditions but should probably avoid riding them anyway. For portability they cant be beaten for the spec!! The bigger the tyre, better brakes etc etc all add weight so wouldnt be useful for you. Inmotion have a new dual motor scooter out called the Climber, we have a review about to come out for it. Its actually really good and weighs just over 20kg so still portable. Its got a great water resistance rating and 10 inch pneumatic tyres, really cool scooter 👍

[@klump5th327]

I’m cancelling my Amazon order right after my thabk uou note. I guess perhaps in LA we use cars a lot more to get around in? Lol. So I’ve had a difficult time finding a store front and test drive one before purchasing one. One silly comment I do have about your video is that you should have a translate button I kept having to rewind due to the neat accent factor. It’s neat to listen to y’all but a little tricky. Hey brother again thabks so much and much luck with to you and the athletic assistant of yours.

Good video, but I didn't see anything about scooters with a seat. What about those who need the higher weight rating and power for the torque? I don't know what is legal in the UK, but here in the States we can use scooters with a seat, so it's a good alternative for someone with knee injuries. I'll keep looking through your other videos and see what else you have done though. It should be interesting.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Not going be good going through any puddle that depth but there are scooters that have better water resistance ratings than others. Make sure they have a really good IP rating for every component if they will be used when wet and check reviews or speak with owners if possible 👍

[@Bicklehoff794]

@@RIDEGLIDE I live near Boulder, we have a ton of trails and we are looking right now at how to deal with E vehicles. My personal preference would be a speed limit. We do have areas with little kids, seniors, dogs, etc. Regular bikers fly by sometimes at 20 mph and it seems too fast. Put a speed limit in areas that need it and the community will adopt it imo.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

@@Bicklehoff794 definitely agree with the speed limit for safety! Limiting the power can be more dangerous for hills etc but a speed limit is really sensible 😀👍

My eagle one pro goes 46mph constantly literally I don't need any sport button I had a vsett 10 plus I got tired of it because without the sport button it only goes 40/42 I weigh 176lbs I needed something that could do 45-47 mph and not limited to it all the vsett has over the eagle one pro in performance is the acceleration just from my experience but it's still an amazing scooter

[@RIDEGLIDE]

We have never had an eagle go that fast so you are a lucky man. Our vsett 10+ destroys our eagle pro when racing 👍

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

@@RIDEGLIDE the thing is the vsett would take off on the pro then the pro would catch up and leave it I raced my own scooter with my cousin riding it I got tired of having to press the sport button and it lasted 2 minutes and it only took me a little more not much the vsett just accelerate faster with my eagle one pro I can do 46.8-47mph all day without having to worry about it overheating the vsett 10+ just has fast acceleration that's why people love it but in a real life situation when I'm riding on the streets it's sucks !!! My cousin has a nanrobot n6 it goes 50mph consistently!!! He dusted me all day when I'm riding my vsett I would take off on him and after 38-39mph he would pass me up !!! And he would be at 30% and he's still able to go 50mph without having to worry about a controller burning out ! I just got tired of it without the sport button the vsett is nothing all it has is fast acceleration but even with that you're limited because you need sport button just to even go fast wirh traffic

[@miketorres2358]

I love your video I'm about 45 minutes into it right now. And I've got a question for you. You may or may not cover this in your video by the end. I have a bad back and I'm looking for a personal transportation vehicle for around town and also whenever I go hiking or camping. Because walking causes me a lot of pain after a while. I am looking for a scooter that can go top speed of maybe 40 miles an hour, dual motors for the hiking, but would you recommend a scooter that allows me to sit? Or am I going to have better balance on a scooter standing? My back is not particular to either standing or sitting. And should I avoid thinner tires? I'm thinking the fatter tires would offer better balance for me.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Hi Mike, Firstly thanks for watching and gad you enjoyed it! For cruising along flat ground for long (ish) distances a seat would be comfortable and probably help your back if it was set up correctly. However for hilly trails there is a major benefit to standing as you can reposition your body when turning and for incline changes. Also because you are not just standing constantly in the same position it allows your back to move which in my experience can alleviate some of the pain and stop it seizes. Obviously this isn't medical advice but just observations 👍

[@pedromorett]

At the section of controllers, I have a doubt about the 10+. You told it is 60V, 30A OR 35A. So does it depends on the battery, e.g. 20.8Ah has the 30A, 28Ah has the 35A? Or it is like, 35A for the rear motor and 30A for the front? Or all my guesses are wrong lol

[@RIDEGLIDE]

The 10+ controller draws between 30 and 35amps depending on how hard it needs to work, hope that helps 😀

I'm on my second scooter and the first had a half twist throttle and the one I have now has a full motorcycle twist throttle. In my opinion the full grip throttle is the most comfortable and controllable and easiest to brake. I don't know why that's a more common choice.

Guess different companies favour different throttles but we love the full twist grip over here 🙌

Supa presentation,well done boys,a great manuel of buying advice,perhaps we could see one on budget scooters,on the DONTS.

[@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542]

the problem with thumb or finger throttle is that if you ride more than 30 minutes your finger or thumb goes numb specially when its cold twist throttle are the best but they are not gradual and can be dangerous most of brand names are finger or thumb throttle and their is no option in changing them on major brand names . its a very good review for pros and beginners as well . my wish is that one day you will be able to buy custom build scooters so you can have all options you like while riding.

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Hi and thanks for the feedback. The good thing with most scooters these days is the cruise control function which takes pressure off your digits 😀

There are loads on the market but definitely go for an established brand and buy from a retailer that has a bricks and mortar shop and holds parts 👍👍

[@enginkucukkayhan2856]

i have question about throttles about the way you say about nami and dualtron ones. does trigger throttles works like 1/0 switch unlike thumb throttles? or trigger throttles just have less "angle" while speeding up, compared to thumb ones? i kinda lost there.

No they can both be gradual but it depends on the programming. The speed controllers make a big difference for how the power is distributed making it smoother etc

[@Bicklehoff794]

One thing we’re missing in the personal electric vehicle world (what’s the acronym again?) is repair shops. At least in the USA, Colorado, you pretty much need to do all maintenance and repairs yourself. Would love to see companies open up retail shops with repair options.

[@majorbrighton]

Great info, so thanks for the in depth information. I´m having too many punctures on my rear tire and it´s a duel motor with the hubs in two parts. You say it´s common to have more punctures when your heavy due to nipping. I take it you refer to the inner hubs nipping the tube. I have has the sport tires on for some time, yet despite the vibration, maybe should use the offroad ones with thicker pattern´s. It´s a "Nitrox RS3200 V2" and extremely powerful with 87 kilometers/hour recorded on a level road! I however am happier at slower speeds, but am grateful when on paths for that extra push. I was going to try out the "Green slime" as I thought the air loss to be too slow to be the tube every time. I have had to fix the punctures 7 times so far! Hope this gives you a laugh. I liked that thumb power lever too, very nice. Yet I do have to sacrifice weight, as it´s impossible to lift the thing into my van, I had to design a ramp in the end, that works very well. Will subscribe, pity you are not in Sweden.

Lets say I buy a scooter from china cause it offers insane range for the money and for example the controller blows or a mptpr gives up, is there a chance to replace parts/upgrade parts like controller or motor?

[@RIDEGLIDE]

Depends on the make and model. Its very hard to get parts direct from China and then get them fitted unless you are good with electronics. Also we would always suggest going for quality over specs as quite often just because a vehicle can hit a certain speed, or travel a certain distance, doesn't mean it is built with quality and safety in mind. We would always suggest buying from a reputable dealer but understand that it may be more expensive that way 👍
