[@RK9Rides]

Big news! The first ever line of RK9 Rides apparel and merch is out! Shirts, Hoodies, Riding Jerseys and More: bit.ly/3GEC4KY

[@cadetgamertag737]

Just talked with Varla (EU but I think it’s the same in the USA) about the (Do not change) P-settings. They say it won’t affect warranty they just don’t recommend changing it for safety reasons

[@ericlongstaff6460]

Thanks for making up my mind RK9, this scooter is the perfect city cruiser for me and it's a bargain for $1,000. It's not the perfect scooter but little adjustments here and there should do the trick. Ideal safe speed for a scooter is b/t 15-20mph...you don't need to go beyond 30-40+ I like the specs on it too (Dual 500w motor, 48v, 15.8Ah, double C suspension, handle bar height, display and solid tires. Kaabo Mini 8 is the only other competitor at this price range, although the Cyberbot Mini is nice too for ($1,000), and the NanRobot Lighting for ($1,300) Thanks again, keep up the good work and reviews...

[@rocknthetube]

Just received mine about a week ago. I can say it feels solid where it counts. Rear brakes rubbed slightly but took two minutes to adjust. Top speed with my 210lb dad bod is 28mph. Nice range too. I'm happy with it. Just so you know that steering damper is stiff and you really have to push and pull to turn.

[@henrymendez5464]

Are you planning on upgrading it to hydraulic brakes? Would love to see a video on that if possible

[@BN99239]

This scooter at $1k USD is great. I purchased one about a year ago and loved everything about it. My commute is about 16 miles, which is the reason why I wanted solid rubber tires, so as to not have to worry about flats. However, I ended up selling it and purchased a different escooter, around $1300, 2600W dual motor, front/rear suspensions and 10in off-road tires. The reason why I did this is because there is a path that is about 4.5 miles long on my commute that cuts through the main road and the Pegasus with its solid tires did not handle sandy, gravel, rocky terrain very well. With my new escooter with off-road tires, I am able to shave off about 6 miles, so about a 10 mile commute now. If you won't be off-roading your scooter, the Pegasus is great. Also, in regards to changing the P12 settings to PAS3, it's not recommended to change this because it reduces range by quite a bit. It may not seem like it but asking for 100% power from the motors at a complete stop drains a lot of battery. If you're worried about range but still want that full acceleration, you can always just kick start your scooter from a stop, get it moving a bit and then ease into the throttle. As long as the scooter is already moving, it will use a lot less battery when using the throttle.

[@TheElectricScooterGuy]

Hey my KZbin Brother I gotta say the Varla seems like a pretty solid scooter they say it's better than the apollo the apollos are very cheap and Canadian but the Varla seems solid and great price

[@natehorary5453]

if anyone is wondering the scooter can survive a crash. i crashed mine at top speed and just minor scratches because the the big bolts on the end of the wheels the only thing that happen was steering dampener no longer existent and completely broken brake which you can replace just a pain to run the wire thru the scooter

[@NinooDinoo]

Would this be good for a kind of rocky road?

[@707ridah]

I made my decision and buying this one over a few ones. I don't need speed over 30 and for 1K and has this to offer. My 1st scooter is the evwrcross h5 1st gen. Goes 28mph but built in the cheap side bit I still have it and just want a upgrade

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

I hope one of these companies will start using a Mountain Bike rear shock for their suspensions. Be nice to be able to tune the suspension to rider weight and conditions. Also, why do they not come with a 5 amp charger?

[@craigw9813]

My Mantis Pre-order got delayed again now another week.... seems like both are great so glad I shouldn't regret my choice

[@ZM-_]

Will you be making a video on the updated 9" pneumatic tire version of the Pegasus in a future video? I was dead-set on the Pegasus, but now I'm not sure which model to get. From the pictures on Varla's site, it appears there might be more than just a tire update, too.

[@Percussioniscool]

Yo I emailed him and he said that he would if he got the chance, I was in your same position put I think the upgrade looks pretty dipe

[@JigDrumming]

Hi, I just wanted to check if you were able to fix the brake? I'm considering getting this, but the brakes are a concern for me. Thanks!

[@touringlion3657]

Alright you read my mind or something, i was on the edge of buying it, but now that you uploaded this, im getting it Edit update: i got it and i completley love it, worth every penny

[@ToothlesstheNightFury510]

I’m worried about the tires once they wear out even though it would be a while for that to happen think you have to send it back to varla for them to install right?

[@TURTLETIMEGAMINGOFFICIAL]

@@ToothlesstheNightFury510 buy the tool that cuts into rubber. they are solid tires so u can probably do this 1-2 times before you run out of tire.

[@TURTLETIMEGAMINGOFFICIAL]

@@ToothlesstheNightFury510 by this i mean cut your own grooves into the tire once they are bald. as mentioned before u can do this 1-2 times before your tires are no good but the longer you ride them the more u will feel it while riding. make lines with chalk before cutting so you know your pattern. best to buy new tires but if none avail, this would be my last resort

[@odtube]

Great informative video! The breaks look very similiar to the WideWheel Pro that I had to adjust almost every time I went for a ride. If there was a hydraulic upgrade option I'd consider it, but due to the small wheel and large brake rotor it might not be possible without metal work.

[@kcamp92]

Did the p12 once moved to 5 change performance at all since you had it in there?

[@CZP-01]

It upgrades the acceleration of the line. Much quicker

[@TheElectricScooterGuy]

Just loosen up the caliper pull the brake lever hold it then tighten the caliper back up that noise will go right away

[@sirbenjamaicad.6472]

I recently got one and overall love it so thank you! But I noticed I could not get the speed you got, making out at 26 mph. How can I get your speed and is it more of factory variation or more of a setting thing? I am fairly light weight so it’s not that.

[@KingK1.]

Im new to this. And this scooter really looks like the way to go i was wondering if u could make a video of u swapping handlebars if its possible im 5"11 am i to tall?

[@pattraparojanasomsith4666]

No! I'm 6'4" and I can still ride this one.

[@troybrownentertainment2324]

How was you able to remove the thumb throttle? I don't see anywhere I can remove screws near the thumb

[@jaredjones1944]

Have you ever thought about the v sett 9 plus

[@mediaxr7255]

I'm loving my recently purchases Pegasus, but have you been able to solve the squeaky rear suspension? Mine is really bad and can't get it resolved.

[@Davian-g4u]

Hey what a better choice the Varla Pegasus or the 800w Hiboy titan?

[@RK9Rides]

Pegasus, and it's not close

[@fishmanroly7450]

So what do you do when the tire wears out are they replaceable

[@JerseyStyle7]

Very nice scooter, i still might get it, Even though I wish it had drum brakes😆👍🏽

[@MYSTJuJu]

Do you have to change the settings to make top speed

[@SickocrowAU]

This isn't available in Australia just yet. Closest thing is a Vsett8+ which there are no thorough reviews on. The Pegasus looks like it uses the same tyres as a Skywalker 8S, and my main concern is there are NO spare tyres that I find for when they wear down. You can get 8x tyres, but they look a slightly different size.

[@emmdod]

I advise you don't buy this, you won't get tech support, they have ignored my last emails to replace a bad rear tire, I'm going to escalate the problem with PayPal.

[@SickocrowAU]

@@emmdod Yeah I won't buy a Scoot that doesn't have any local support. It's the reason why I bought a second hand cruiser because I can get all the parts for it here.

[@alexsnemos]

I would love to see a review on widewheel pro.

[@Guardhousetv]

Bought one using your code

[@isledon]

Can't wait for the dualtron review 😌 Any recommendations for scooters similar to the mantis with more range?

[@FloWithZo]

When is the full victor review coming out man!!!

[@stevenklein8145]

How did you get it to go the speeds you were hitting? Did you change another setting?

[@miguelarroyo123]

How many miles do you have on it now? Do another review!

[@PawDieFur]

I've been avoiding doing my review on this since last week my tail light completely came off while riding. Once I get a replacement (which varla has already sent out) I'll be doing mine. I've now put a good 120~ miles ok it on hilly roads and such.

[@fatcatelectric]

I understand I’m waiting on my replacement also my tail light 💡 never came on but I will be doing a replacement on it I don’t mind learning especially since I’m be riding electric scooters also waiting for a new battery 🔋 E006 popped up had to take the bottom cover off to take a pic of the battery and send to them so my new battery will be on the way more videos coming soon

[@yourneighborwiththecutedog]

nice review! i just wish you had better infrastructure to ride on! me too on that one!

[@kojokamber8467]

Love the Pegasus review. What were your average safe speeds? Really wanna know.

[@richardlee1972]

I don't understand why they make the power setting available and then advise not to adjust it? I set mine to 3 and it's perfect.

[@RonnieDeuce25]

Howd you get yours to get to 30mph top speed?

[@asdf8181]

What grips are compatible

[@RK9Rides]

Any mountain bike grips

[@exagente.0073]

[@RK9Rides]

Use code "RK9"

[@jtravel80]

Are you in Utah? i recognize that apartment complex

[@n1ck7hequick]

I'm trying to get an idea of how this scooter will work for me, so I'm curious: about how much do you weigh? I'm a little on the heavier side, but still fall under the rated capacity, so I know I'll get a little less speed and range than you.

[@inihao]

Ngl i was thinking on getting a spalch twin but it takes 35-40 business days And it cost 166 for shipping since i live in europe And the pegasus give free shipping And takes almost 1 week And they take monthly payment

[@keronfarrier2198]

I got a pegasus with air in the tires. I love the thing. I commute downtown Chicago and pass almost everyone, bikers, scooters and cars. The cars HATE when I pass em. Lol.

@zoideryouknow2519 but even when I wear a 20LB backpack the top speed is the same.

[@Knapweed]

It's a good-looking scooter at a very attractive price but its weight is surprising. It's over 20% more than the Vsett 9+ and similar dual-motor scooters in its class.

[@aaronlittle9447]

Some say you can travel 28 miles on a single charge?

[@franciscocorreia8956]

[@Percussioniscool]

This seems to be a common theme

[@danielhiggins3361]

This scooter only goes 28mph, also I bought it thinking it was for everyday use, this is not the case. The stem is made of aluminum which causes it to become very loose after a month of riding. The disc brakes are poor quality. What is the best 30mph scooter?

[@Patkilla7558]

Updating this. If I were someone interested in this scooter, stay away. Varla's customer service is piss poor at best. My stem broke, and they sent me a half-assed video on how to replace it, without showing what I would need, or how to even navigate the controllers. Also, yes, build quality is poor. You're better off saving a bit more money, and getting a premium scooter like a Zero 8x, or a Vsett 9+.

[@emmdod]

I'm sorry to tell you this, Varla has terrible tech support, I just got the Pegasus 5 days ago, back tire wobbles really bad when riding under 16 mph, they can't fix it...told me to take it to a tire shop!!!! How absurd is that...Dont buy!!!

[@miketorres2358]

Did you ever find out why they said not to change the p12 settings? I feel like it's a safety issue. It also has me very curious though. I ordered one of these last night. I should be receiving it tomorrow sometime. I ordered mine because I have injured my back, and there are a lot of hills in the area I live in. This is kept me from venturing outside of my apartment for well over a year. So I will probably keep mine on P12-1 at most I may raise it up to 2 or 3. But I doubt it. I'm still kind of worried that my back isn't going to like this thing. But without being able to test drive any type of scooters at all. I just went out on a whim. Figured YOLO!!!! I mean... Why not?

[@Frostorm777]

*Ima be real with you man… those grips look really ugly on that scooter*

[@alancox8466]

Don’t buy these scooters. They have bad batteries.
