I have the Klima, close to 1300 miles... Only scooter I have, but can't imagine anything much better for the price... It's damn near perfect!

[@404Limit]

I just bought one today for my birthday, any tips? or things I should look out for?

[@ladyjedi3D]

Your RK9 video on the Kaabo Mantis 8, is the video that made me decide to pull the trigger on a new electric scooter. I now own 3, plus gifted one to my sons girlfriends son. That way we all have something to ride. I love it. My current fave ride is my new Vsett 10 plus. 😊 I’m a 56 year old grandma and am going to see on be teaching my 5 year old granddaughter to ride a non electric scooter. 😊

[@exactlyhowareyou513]

I don't want to sound like a no life but I've literally watched all your videos im hooked on your channel lmao. I hope you upload more often, I enjoy your ESG videos too!

[@RK9Rides]

Thanks! I should be posting a lot more often now that I'm settled into my new house

[@notquiteright45014]

Me too. Was very pleased when you joined ESG because I thought there would be twice as much of you.

[@wideopenthrottl]

@@RK9Rides Interested in both the new Mantis 8 2024 and the NIU KQi3 Max. Both are similar price and similar specs except Mantis is dual motor.

[@PaulRozeboom]

Starting right off with the Klima! I bought mine because of you and love it so much! Can't thank you enough for that recommendation even a year later and i put over 1k miles on it.

[@megar_potato859]

Hell yeah, love to that full Varla lineup there! I've always owned GOTRAX scooters, but my GX2 got stolen a few weeks ago :( New replacement scooter I just ordered is a Varla Eagle One 2.0, decided to go with it after watching your review on it!

[@notgotaname]

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now because i like your pace, styling, content and your voice is incredibly soothing. I have learned almost everything I know about riding through your videos. I’m wandering do you have any advanced tips and tricks for avid riders? I have watched your tips video many times but it seems more aimed at newbie riders with just the basics covered. I hope one day you can make a video on how you handle obstacles at higher speed, weight distribution, cornering with ease and possibly a fancy looking trick thrown in too.

[@RK9Rides]

Great video idea! I'd definitely love to do something like that

[@michaelmcdonald2204]

I've been watching your videos for several months now and I got my Varla Pegasus based on your reviews. I hope you put some nice trails on your videos now that your in Vegas. My son saw some trails he'd like to try on S. Fort Apache/215 yesterday when we were visiting family on that side of town.

[@Bakunawa661]

Welcome to the bowl brotha! Hope to see you round

[@chrisdudley8366]

Looks cool. I just ordered the Ausom Gallop. Scooter can't wait. I had the varla Pegasus put 4600 miles on it and was still going strong. Keep up the good work.

[@RK9Rides]

My review for the Ausom Gallop is on the way! Great scooter

[@chrisdudley8366]

Hey Rk9. Rides. Do you know what kind of springs that the Ausom Gallup has I only had my scooter two weeks in the front spring is leaking oil. Do you know where I can order the springs that will fit the gallop. Look forward to your response thank you.

[@megar_potato859]

@@chrisdudley8366 I think you will have more luck looking for replacement shocks for the TItan Unicool counterpart. Don't quite remember exactly which Titan model, but I'd imagine it would be much easier to find components for said model or similar models.

[@Xineovii2003]

@@RK9Ridesdo you think the gallop is better than the nami klima? Or the new roadrunner?

[@uzairvorajee7758]

In your opinion what is a better scooter nami klima max or vest 10 plus

[@rbjstudio]

Great vid, so I think for. A regular enthusiast 3 is all you need a long range allrounder, a guest one, lol, and a off road one, currently have a city pro, OKAI es20, looking at the inokim, I wish I can try the dualtrons before I buy those fluid looks solid as well, keep em coming……..

[@billycrowe4501]

I’m stuck between the Apollo go and the mantis v2 for city riding. The mantis is on sale right now for 1400

[@shaun5761]

I have nami klima as well 😊

[@jlewis631]

Nice line up of scooters! I only have 2 scooters. The Eagle One 2.0 and the Ninebot Max G30. Purchased the G30 because of the build quality and I purchased the Eagle One because of the hill climbing abilities.

[@RK9Rides]

Solid duo!

[@geetaahuja9887]

@rk9 rides What is the best cheap scooter you can recommend in terms of having decent wheel suspension and can last a few years? I am ideally looking for something in the 300-400 price range

[@donscott6431]

I remember you riding a STORM. I just got one from VORO about 2 months back. Lotta scooter there. I also bought the newest 72v 35 ah battery with insulated pins. While it’s a handful to operate in higher settings, I do Uber Eats on speed 2 and 50% power in P settings. Really good range. The one I remember you riding I think was a loaner… PS VORO had a great sale on DTs plus I got another $300 off with a code from Electric Scooter Academy which, after tax, put it at just over $3000.

[@Georgie1akaMr1-kl6nf]

I recently purchased a Q7PRO on eBay. Have you checked that model out ? It's fast and pretty stable but no real information on how to adjust P settings. Having issues with Red triangle with! Symbol? Trying to get resolved.

[@PickingBlueberries]

What tires did you put on the Victor?

[@16alarkin]

Only fitting that i get an electric scooter now, being that i spent most of my childhood and even highschool years doing all sorts of tricks on kick scooters Lol

[@JulianRides]

I hope nami company releases new models i would like to see new ones this year. Be cool if they released like a 82 volt with like 12 or 13 inch wheels the bigger the wheel the more comfort on the road.

[@foxsinwolf7477]

If you happen to be interested in a scooter, maybe give the N6 72v a try. Tubed tires suck but it does have a bit of giddy up.

[@kaithegamer2322]

You should review the new kqi300x

[@chipipamanjata5491]

Scooters are wild❤

[@mackymode8185]

Shopping for my first scooter, I'm considering a Turboant, do you recommend the brand? I just want a casual commuter, nothing off-road, speed-demon hardcore stuff, and below $500

[@amanstaaaa280]

bro, youre not getting a speed demon hardcore scooter for under $500. the best in that price range is the evercross h5 for $550

[@mackymode8185]

@@amanstaaaa280 Never heard of Evercross, I'm leaning towards Segway E2 Pro seems to check all my needs

[@desireharelimana6896]

What is the best option if i’m looking for reliability speed and a good price preferably under $600

[@RK9Rides]

Anything from NIU, or the Segway F2, or VMAX VX5

[@user-fw3op8lj9u]

You didn’t mention the nami burn e I’ve heard that it has the fastest acceleration

[@eugenefedorov3498]

Hi there! Please help me to choose right scooter. I try to find a best light weight, fun, with good suspension scooter. I have checked around 40 models and choose only 3 of them. Mantis 8 or 10. Dualtron raptor 2 or eagle. My aim is jump a lot of bumps, aggressive ride in park dirt roads. And here in Ukraine we have a bad asphalte with a lot of holes and i am scary to lose all my teeth. Raptor 2 has the best perfomance compare to a weight of just 22kg (48lbs). But... it has only 8 inch tiers which i scary with out bad roads... But it also goes iwth rubber suspension which is good for jumping but again seems bad for raod as dualtron comes with airless tires. Mantis 8 has spring suspensions nad + 3 kg. But Mantis 10 as Dualtron eagle, comes with 10 inch tiers but 30 kg (66lbs) which is a huge difference and i am just not sure... spring suspensions and + kg weight or runbber suspensions light weight....

[@chadherrick4883]

I thought you had a Kaabo Mantis King GT? I know you prefer the Klima over it. I thought you also had the Wolf King…

[@lachlanbrown3112]

I have had the Nami klima max for about 6 months. I love it but am thinking about upgrading to the burne max 2. Do you think it's worth it. I don't think I actually need it I just like the idea of having the best of the best.

[@RK9Rides]

If you don't care about weight or size then I think the Burn-E 2 Max is very worth it. That is my favorite scooter to ride and only gets beat out by the Klima because of the portability aspect

[@lachlanbrown3112]

@@RK9Rides do you think the Pmts are worth it for the Klima?

[@RK9Rides]

I think the stock tires are great, but you might get a little more traction out of some PMTs

[@raylivengood8040]

I think you need a spot for a Rion in there somewhere 😁

[@RK9Rides]

I wish!

[@exactlyhowareyou513]

Have you tried the Nami Burn E yet?

[@RK9Rides]

Yes, the Burn-E 2 Max is one of my favorite scooters ever, I just don't own one

[@kristaborrman6275]

You should get a inmotion rs

[@gameshoes]

You using the DJI Pocket 3 for recording?

[@RK9Rides]

Yessir, I love it

[@gameshoes]

@@RK9Rides I knew it! I hope they make an update for it to relax on its very tenacious head tracking. It's kind of a telltale sign because of how it moves the frame for the slightest of head bobs.

[@kanchananawarathna6432]

Bro If you planing to sale any scooter let me know I would like to buy even used .I’m looking some budget scooter for my Daly ride for duty. I’m here from (doha Qatar)

[@mtlmohamad9385]

What is the best scooter with best top speed for under 1000$?

[@RK9Rides]

I think the Varla Pegasus is one of the fastest decent scooters under $1000

[@SS-du7tr]

6:30 can only get a couple hundred dollars for that scooter!?? In San Diego almost every scooter listed on offer up is more than what you can buy them shipped online for. Of course you haggle down a bit but they typically still want msrp or close to it for their used scooters🙄

[@scramjet4610]

Why not more scooters over 50mph? Is it that you don't trust scooters at the high speed? Also, think of doing a custom scooter build based on all the knowledge and experience you have with scooters?

[@King_Jermilk]

Welcome to vegas

[@JbrayxD]

Ill take one =D My wife wants to ride together but we cant afford right now !

[@saltisushi8581]

I so wish I was in a country where these are legal.

[@raulespinoza8668]

Rovoron kullter luxury is a much better scooter than the dualtron Victor in every way.

[@RK9Rides]

I think so too. It's just a straight up upgraded Victor

[@Electricscootersfactory01]

No more agree with you.

[@molecricket62]

You need to make some money to get some great scooters. Sell some of those junkers off and get the good stuff. RS, GTR and maybe the RX7. That's all you need.

[@RK9Rides]

Speed isn't everything, I don't like the RS or the GTR more than the Klima personally so I don't feel the need 🤷 We'll see how good the RX7 is.

[@SSpecialDelivery]

Surprise no Wolf king

[@RK9Rides]

I like the Wolf King GT Pro a lot, I just don't own one. Would definitely add that and a Burn-E 2 Max to this list if I could

[@Vmaxfodder]

Pick one heavy duty . Scooter doesn't need to be faster than 30-35 ,but must be powerhouse to climb hills at a great pace to keep up with traffic. Must last 50+ years as a daily driver??

[@RK9Rides]

50 years is a long time 😅

[@Vmaxfodder]

@RK9Rides it's green technology. Not a dumpster fire fodder .
