[@yvestrussel7673]

I took a long time and test rode a lot of scoters, I have finally bought the Zero 9. It's only after a day of riding (got 30km on one charge) that I fully appreciate the qualities of this scooter. Apart from the stats, the Zero 9 just feels incredibly solid and safe to ride. At 30kph and even at 40kph, there is no wobble and the suspension is superb, making this scooter feel "planted" at any speed. The brakes are simply amazing, a feature that I think is overlooked too often, until a car cuts you off and you have to break within 4 meters, if you don't you hit the car! Lastly I thought deck size was not important, well after riding for a while I realise that I like to move my feet around a bit because it gets uncomfortable to stay in the same position for more than 30 min, I learned that a big deck size is actually great

[@rosesolon9243]

Hey 👋 👍 Thanks for the review, Is yours the 10.ah or 13.ah ? Also can you get more out of the 30klm range ? thanks

Nice to see the new zero tires fitted... they look more solid... The pram tires fitted on earlier version of the 9 are VERY prone to flats, especially at the rear, so can’t wait to fit the new zeros on... and they look good too 👍🏼 keep it up....⚡️🛴

[@alfierivannucci]

Hello first congratulate you on the good videos you have, on the other hand I need your advice since I have to decide between the Zero 9 and the Dualtron Mini. Could you tell me which one you think is best considering quality, speed, autonomy, driving, shock absorbers, brakes, foot room. Thanks

[@boomer2095]

Bought the 9 and then had a flat and tried to buy the 8.5” x 2” off Amazon, but none of the tubes were the right size or had the 45 degree valve stem. Amazon had a zero9 replacement they were asking $38 and I ended buying the last one on eBay for $18. Although this is a nice scooter, you have to look at being able to find tubes or replace it with a solid tire.

[@mguerra79]

There might be already this question asked, but I'd like to see the review, when possible, of the Aerlang H6 v2 (chinese model), please. That would be great! Cheers from Portugal and congrats on the great channel content.

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

super thorough!! - first time ever i had zero questions after a scooter review ! only prob for the ZERO9 is I’m used to tires that can never go flat from my EtwoWOW -so Mercane Wide is still my no1 choice for next upgrade -but this one is right behind- glad they do a custom thumb throttle too!!

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Thanks Idrissa - we aim to please. I think you can get solid or honeycomb tires installed on the 9 if that is what you want.

[@kamer7pl]

Don't worry about flat tires as Zero 9 wheels are made by 3 parts and can be easily folded to make replacement easy. Big improvement vs Xiaomi's one-piece wheel which are pain in the ass.

[@gixxer4646]

Make sure you have the recomended psi inflated into the tire all the time. Running them low on air will get you a flat tire every corner.

[@MxSpear]

Great review! Quick question - I have a 27 degree hill on my commute - do you think the Zero9 could handle it? Alternatively, I like the look and power of the Widewheel Pro, but I also have a long flight of stairs so am concerned about the added +14lbs.

[@kamer7pl]

Great video, I agree with every word said. What is your opinion on scooter that could replace Zero 9 as an upgrade for someone who wants a little more? Is Zero 10 a big improvement?

[@exclusivelynyc]

Great video. How does this compare to the fluid that you reviewed?

Great review Chuck. Just wanted to mention I'm pretty sure its the lightest weight scooter that has dual pneumatic tires and both front and rear suspension.

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Inadequate front suspension, but yes.

[@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide]

Yes, good call -- not many scooters at this weight have all the features of the Zero 9 -- which is why, for this weight -- it really crushes everything else.

Hey man thanks a million for putting these videos out there. It's a huge help! I have a big question. Price around 1000 give or take, I'm looking for a scooter with 20 miles of range, foldable, and SOLID tires with a suspension. These air filled tires just keep popping in New Orleans cause our roads are terrible. What would you recommend? This Zero 9 looks awesome but then it has air filled tires and I'm done changing scooter tubes. Thanks in advance for the help!

[@philmartinez1626]

Put some Armor Dilloz on the tires, military grade sealant check them on KZbin, a lot better than slime. Goodluck!

[@bryant0smith]

Looking to upgrade from a Glion Dolly 225 model. This looks like a really nice upgrade! I know that I can buy dolly wheels that attach to the front of the scooter. That is nice, however it won't stand upright. I am wondering if the scooter could stand upright if the stem wasn't fully collapsed. One of the features of the Glion Dolly that I like is that I can ride public transportation and have it stand up so that nobody trips over it. If not could there be a workaround? Thanks in advance!!!

[@ronnieyee5172]

First of all I really like your review videos on the zero 9, keep up the great work! Your review made me decide on purchasing the 9. I just bought a zero 9 a couple of weeks ago. I have an issue/question.... Do you hear a light "popping" sound when you brake(both front or back), it's not the brakes themselves that make the sound. I think it's the motor(regeneration braking). If you go to settings on P11 and adjust the level to 2 or higher the popping sound occurs. When I set it to 0, the sound is gone. I was wondering if it's just my scooter or if its normal for all zero 9's. Hopefully you or someone that reads this comment can answer this for me. Thanks you!

[@philmartinez1626]

Its normal that's the regen break

[@davidagiel8130]

I can’t decide, 9 or 8x, I think 9 because I don’t want anything too heavy, but I like the suspension, breaks, solid tires and power of the 8x

Thank you ESG Your review is helpful. I was hesitant getting another Mercane Pro (bought last year, was only good at start became flimsy after 4 months of use, now its dangerous above 20mph - had to invest above $300 to fix it up for this season) the 2020 has a lot of improvements but.. I've noticed the ZERO-9 (Evolv Tour - why is there so many overlapping brand, Turbo Wheel, Zero, Evolv, Mantis, etc?) and I agree with your review but was wondering about long term.. Does the product age well? or should I expect to become flimsy like my Mercane? Thank you and keep up the great work =)

[@porscheoscar]

please do a video of the most powerful under 30 pound scooters. I have the Booster V with 10 AH battery. it's checks the four boxes of build quality, low weight, range and power. I'd like to see if someone else is giving the Booster V and GT some competition. The reason weight is important for me is because I have to lift it a great deal. Even in the office building I work in we are not allowed to roll the scooter on the marble floors..we must carry the scooter which is too long a walk for a 40 pound scooter.

The clamp for the handle bar is not strong enough the bar still slides down during heavy breaking or going onto a curb. Battery drops fully on hills. I get 15 miles out of mine every week before its on its last bar. Portability is poor since I cannot take it on the train or any more than 10 yards before it drains your arm.

I ordered my Rev Zero 9 on April 14th. I was pleased it was available since other models on Rev’s website were sold out like the Zero 8 and 8X.. Two days later and no shipping number yet, I contacted them. Emily, their shipping manager responded. “We are expecting our shipment to come in by the end of May/beginning of June. We ship the orders out in the order it was received. Hope this answers your questions. Have a great weekend!” This infuriates me. I was expecting it to take longer than a typical Amazon order, but not this. She’s basically saying “Come late May/early June, we’ll tell you what the wait time is...” The “Have a nice weekend” on the end there made me more annoyed. You just disappointed the hell out of me.
