"like dealing with an architect" absolutely trying to as is said "reinvent the wheel" is always from to see and hear spoken about.

[@jimj2683]

Love the removable battery. But the battery could easily have been twice the capacity and still be portable enough. 360Wh is just way too little.

[@JamesFaction]

"lightest removable battery" is not a good thing. Lol. It's very small capacity.

[@jimj2683]

@@JamesFaction Needs at least 1000Wh. Ideally 2500Wh...

[@JamesFaction]

@@jimj2683 lol, well at some point weight becomes a factor. They went wayyyy too far to the "lightweight" end of that scale tho

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

It's good to see more fully designed scooters hitting the market, compared to the more traditional cobbled together from generic parts products. Now, bring on the new Segway review 😃

[@brianprosek7875]

center stand and removable battery, valve extenders, really excellent features which has me hoping they are working on a larger motor option!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Definitely some awesome features for sure! Thanks for watching. -Vosk

[@babygamer405]

Swappable battery, I"M IN. Been waiting all this time.

[@jigzonyt517]

Could be a game changer within a mass range of scooters. I'm currently on a e25e and although the speed and ride is great. The battery is pretty poor and the hill climb speed. I am at the very top of the weight limit though so that's my fault and not the scooter. When me and my friend swap scooters he's always ahead up hill no matter what scooter we're on. Mine is quicker on the flat and much better handling in every way but Im always jealous when he leaves me on climbs. I've speed modded mine now so just need to shift some weight 😂😂😂

[@32wizzm]

There's the *hiboy S2R* replaceable battery

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

I really want to test the S2R too! -Paul

[@bruceh3786]

I really like the replaceable battery. Their design seems much better than the replaceable stem batteries. Hopefully more scooter manufacturers will do something similar. (I would also like to see cell phone and laptop makers return to replaceable batteries.)

Wow I'm really excited what this brand will bring us in the future. Having the light this low could be good since you can attach a handlebar bag to it without blocking the light.

My anyhill is being delivered now. This will be my first scooter.

[@aaronb.4830]

I just ordered a NIU KQi3 Pro thanks to your KQi2 Pro review. The KQi3 just happened to be on sale for just $50 over the KQi2 Pro when I went to order it.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Awesome , enjoy your scooter -Vosk

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

What site?

[@mirukuuma]

Love the easy replacement battery! Definitely extends the range if you get a spare :)

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Totally agree! I really did use it to get home at the end of the range test too! -Paul

[@MaseratiMike]

@P. B. Foote 1k

[@PinnaclePete]

@P. B. Foote Right now the battery is $299.00.

[@derrekb4501]

So would you guys take this scooter over KQI3 Pro or Max? Love how this scooter look and regen brake lever is a selling point for me as well. But still not sure if KQI3 is better or this one is better value?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

We like the Max the most out of these 3!

[@e-scooterguy]

Great scooter but like so many scooters in this class it would be improved with a better ip rating, high mounted powerful front light and indicators! Feel like there are so many scooters in this class now I agree seeing some originality is great. Love the removable battery as it means u can keep the scooter in our buildings without worrying about cold ruining the battery and you can get a spare! :)

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching & feedback -Vosk

[@e-scooterguy]

@@shanew7361 to be honest it’s difficult as it always feels like a choice between features but I think this anyhill is right up there and with the improvements i mentioned it would only be missing suspension in my view. I think the Apollo air 2022 is a great option but again it’s missing good ip rating and indicators. I have an etwow s+ which is unbeatable on portability and has suspension but again it’s missing indicators, ip rating, has smaller tyres, not great front light. Im in the Uk so they aren’t legal technically just yet but it’s the under 1000 price point where im likely to buy another scooter and im just waiting for the perfect combination of features. Luckily I think features are appearing more rapidly so I don’t think it will be long before a new model or an updated current model fits what im looking for but that’s just me. This one seems like a great buy but as a new company support and reliability are unknown so time May tell…what’s your thoughts?

[@e-scooterguy]

@@shanew7361 my scooter checklist is basically ip55 or better, front and back indicators ideally front ones on handlebars, suspension even if just in front, 500 watt power minimum, removable battery, not too heavy, fairly portable possibly with foldable handlebars, good build quality and support, good high mounted front light and break light, range around 15-20 miles on top mode, good app, 10 inch puncture proof pneumatic tyres probably tubeless. Drum breaks as no clue about maintenance. Know it’s a lot for a grand! Basically I need the anyhill, Apollo air 2022 and the vsett 8 to get married! Lol….bit more money but the Apollo city 2022 is quite close to that list aswell 🤔

[@PinnaclePete]

@@shanew7361 The range is listed at 28 miles. I would think that is in Eco mode.

[@lidaterry4624]

What a amazing review! Very cool, I like the Anyhill UM-2 scooter, The structure and braking are exactly what i want from a scooter, thank you so much.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

You showed the KQi2 instead of the KQi3 lol. I should know, I got the KQi2 because of you guys! Got it for $599 CAD ($480 USD) plus tax after the $100 off discount. This scooter looks good too, and seems an excellent option for food delivery with the removable battery options...

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Enjoy the scooter

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Good catch Scott! We still have KQi2 on the brain after reviewing it! We clearly need to get our KQi3 out of the box! -Paul

[@ScottXiong]

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks! It was exactly what I was looking for, and your review solidified it for me. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, it's been fantastic for what I need (commuter/errands, high build quality at great value, and decent hill climbing).

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

So glad you like it. When I watched this video, I realized that you can hear how much I like the NIU by the way I say the name of the scooter. It wasn't intentional either! :-) -Paul

[@manorin]

If anyone is looking to do some mods and is looking to remove the side skirts, there are hidden screws under the rubber and the reflectors are applied with double-sided tape. Not repair friendly in those aspects.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for the tip! Highly valuable.

how much of yer batery power do you want to use for a display ? i would say keep your eyes on the road is the beter way

Stability is important, as someone with long hair that blows in my face and wears glasses I always need to be able to take a hand off the handlebars for a second to adjust without wobbling

[@metallurgico]

That U turn was crazy! :D

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

[@alphajai3204]

Hello, my scooter just arrived today. However, the manual doesn't mention how to install the front brake cable. I can't find the tools needed. Can you help me with this? Thanks!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Please contact costumer service for assistance! They will help you.

[@wowzee]

So you can detach and charge the battery separately right?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes!

[@zekeking]

Hey ESG If I can give a suggestion for your reviews, it'd be awesome if you could briefly touch on the e-scooter's app (if one is included) in the future. The Anyhill app for iOS currently crashes when you try to set a new password, making it impossible to change it from the default password (88888) which is a security and safety issue since you're able to control aspects of the scooter through it. I do like the scooter other than that though!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

we will look into that! thanks for the tip.

[@wazeone1978]

Awesome scooter love the style n look 👌🏾

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching

[@CyberDash87]

Both the replaceable battery and center stand already puts it ahead of the curve. Although, I do wish they would add something to prevent accidental stepping of the rear fenders. Does anyone know if the wheels are split rim?

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

It’s a awesome scooter

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Solid rims. It's really difficult to make a tubeless split rim. Only Dualtron does that, as far as I know. -Paul

[@manorin]

The rear fender is solid as the stem has to latch to it when folding and it also houses the battery release latch

[@bedeesey]

I'm all for the swappable batteries but when the batteries are only 360wh I just cant justify it as an owner of a gotrax gmax ultra with a 630wh battery. If someone makes a good scooter with something like a 1000wh swappable battery that thing is going to sell like hotcakes I think..at a reasonable price of course.. with that being said though I think especially for someone's first scooter this thing would be quite satisfying as long as you purchase a second battery with it!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yeah, they have a pretty good bundle-deal when you buy a spare battery at the same time. This is one of the few scooters I've seen where I think many riders will get a spare battery. The Dualtron Storm's $1,500 spare battery.... not so much :-O -Paul

[@NJturtlePower]

How it uses that power is more important (efficiency) than its size. Much like with EV's, a larger pack often just points to inefficiencies (high weight or inferior drivetrain) when compared to Tesla for example.

[@kings7man]

High load light scooter awesome

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks for watching! -Paul

[@articade]

My only con with this is that the middle of each handlebar is not removable, which is a very minor con. I ordered mine the other day and cant wait to get it!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter. -Vosk

[@Loqque]

looks pretty sturdy actually. and removable battery should really be a standard for commuter scooters.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Totally agree -Vosk

[@Zet1988]

Was having trouble ordering from their website (as it just gives you red box error on the top without any text) and I got to say their support sucks. They answer live chats about 5 hours later saying all is good, their phone line they tell you to call no one ever picks up and all you get is a message saying that voicemail box has not yet been setup... Kind of insane how hard it is to give them my money...

I'm attempting to purchase this scooter based on your awesome review. Silly question, does the scooter come with a battery? The way the website is set up, it looks like you have to buy a battery, and in the "Accessories" there is a "replacement" battery. What I'm attempting to do is buy (1) scooter and (2) extra batteries. Seems difficult to do on this website. No response from customer service in a couple of days.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes it comes with a battery!

[@adominic9383]

First of all, these scooter companies bend over backwards for these KZbin reviewers, so your customer service experience will differ greatly. Review of the reviewer: Bottom line, the scooter works, has some useful features no other has, range tested much lower than advertised, Max speed was 16mph 19MPH was never reached. The largest benefit is the battery replacement, however you cannot take the battery on a plane so yet again one of the best features is muted by the company not adapting could have built a 2 or 3 in one battery solution that plugs into each other making travel compliant

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Sorry you had issues! Hopefully next one can be better. -Vosk

Nice features, but I won't buy another scooter without it having some kind of properly designed hole for easily locking it down. It's such a pain to lock down e-scooters when I want to visit a shop, or go anywhere on foot. On this one I couldn't even slide the lock through the holes in the back wheel, because there are none; I lock my Xiaomi Pro2 that way.

bruh do your research - this is basically just the international Version of the Streetbooster 2 it seems. Having 2 independent brake Systems is a legal requirement in some european countries (like Germany) this model was originally built for just in case one brake fails. Similar situation with the missing zero start function: it is legally prohibited in Germany. The Streetbooster 2 is a pretty cool scooter though. Otherwise nice review
