These are solid scooters for the price. Why spend more? 20 mph is fast enough for a scooter. Buy a bike if you need more mph. We have had these for 2 years trouble free.

MOUNTIAN Bike vs Comfort BIKE - WHY RIDE??

MOUNTIAN Bike vs Comfort BIKE - WHY RIDE??
I 'm considering one for my ebike...but i wonder ...is it annoying to feel that is always bouncing a bit even on mostly flat terrain? I do urban cycling mostly....it seems very active!
It is adjustable. Mine does not bounce on flat terrain.
Is it just me or are rear shocks really difficult to get to a specific pressure? I kept thinking that air is bled out while removing the pump. I pump it to 190 and u thread it, thread it back in and it's 30psi lower, just from uninstall g and installing the pump. Forks are one thing being lower pressure plus higher volume but with so little volume and high pressure the tiniest moment of the valve opening or closing has to be losing air. Yet,reading forums it doesn't seem to be an issue for most people.
maybe try 220 then reattach and see it you actually got your 190. if so just aim for 220. Might be the pump you are using?
Thank you
Thanks for the review. Fantastic shoes, I think best flat pedal shoes for downhillers. I’d like to say definitely go for at least half size up. My all shoes are 42.5 but this one I’m ok with 43 EU. I’m returning it unfortunately.
Thank you for the valuable review.👍
Thanks for the nice comment.
Just wondering what size briskers you got?
large
@brianrichard1768 Ty!!
@@brianrichard1768 I had ordered large a few days ago & was afraid they would be to big. So I went to check reviews & came across your video. So mine arrived today right after you responded lol. They fit perfect!! It's so hard to size something without trying on 1st, size charts really don't help with gloves or body protection. Just have to take a chance 🤷🏻♂️
@@mikeburgh3956 Kool deal ! Glad I was able to help.
Would this be good for busking with acoustic guitar? Cheers
not sure
Hi! Can you please tell if you know does it work well with 4 small batteries CR123A, as it suggests in theirs description? Thanks
I've never tried to run it with the cr123 batteries. I bought the fenix rechargeable batteries at the time of purchase. It's a nice option to be able to use them, but It might not be as bright or run as long and honestly if you planned on using it a lot, over time the cost of cr123 batteries would be greater. Sorry I could not give a better answer.
@@brianrichard1768 I'm not planning to use a lot. Take them out when not using. How satisfied are you with it? Can you recommend something other?

How many timing belts have you changed
once at 70k
Nice job. Yup best to size up for winter gloves and shoes! $15 Head Touchscreen Gloves are good to around freezing probably on par with Fox and 100%. I want more lower, but don't like bulky winter gloves riding.
I decided to get flashlights for all battery types I use. This coast is what I chose for AAA batts. Good choice and only 8.88. No brainer.
not surprising the wr250r is probably one of the fastest 250 dual sports out there. i'd take either they're both awesome bikes
5 years later I'm wondering if you still have this bike and how it's held up. Thinking of picking up one in the same year range.
No, I sold for profit. My elec starter never worked and the flame outs made it almost impossible to ride slow but as for power and suspension. A+++
Great video. Thanks for the effort and time you put into it. ❤
Shall I get one?
I just liked my own comment. And the answer is yes, I should get one. 😂
What was the end result for you ? Were you able to make this work? Did u need to buy further accessories?
No, I sold this and ended up buying a swagman 2 bike carrier that has a tray to hold the wheels.
@brianrichard1768 ok. Great points to consider...im just about to purchase a bike rack...for a hatch back...my bikes are step through so need to consider this also👍
Can we connect this active speaker to any passive speaker from the out put chanel.. If could you please suggest any matching passive speaker as there is no pa110 passive availed .
It has RCA plugs for output so yes you probably could, however adding a passive speaker would cut the amplified power in half so I would probably not recommend doing that.
Its a bar, not a blade! Nice review!
Ya, I don't go off a script when doing these, I kinda just wing it and sometimes a word or two goes funny.
Have 2 x B300actvie Ultrawaves for 12 years - going strong
So, roughly what is the top speed on these?
I have one too the same year, I love it, and I still running strong.👍
You can buy a hitch pin that had a build in lock. Also you can add a bike beam to your bike which makes it level just like a straight top tube
I have a 2004 Toyota prerunner with 211,000 and it's going strong.
I don't like that you can only cycle the modes upwards on the remote. If you're riding around in Medium mode and someone comes your way, you need to go through High first to turn the light down.
Good point.
Tnx, Brian , what tires do you recommend for 50/50 hard road/trails use ?
The dunlop D606 tires have served me well off road and are pretty durable on road as well. They only time they are bad is on wet pavement. They are pretty sketchy on wet asphalt. I run about 15-17 psi rear/front.
PS: Brian: Is it time for a 2 year review of your Forza, experiences, mileage, etc., or not? Anything new to add? Best, Rola
Was sold about 9 months ago for nice profit. It was good enough to purchase again if I find the right deal.
@@brianrichard1768 Good for you! An aside: Take a look (for fun), @ the Zontes line of scooters & bikes! New Chinese entry into the market place, (unfortunately no dealers in the USA)‼🤬Anyway, their 2 wheel rides have range & everything else for the rider……new generation bikes! Kymco, Sym, Honda, Yamaha are all way behind what they’re offering for gadgets, utility & price. Thanks for listening & your videos. Best, Rola👍🏻
Brian: Again, just a very thoughtful & thorough review. Great sales pitch for motorcycle riders to consider scooter for comfort & safety! We really have been missing the boat in the US as to the benefits of scooters, (good for you mentioning the attributes)!👍🏻 Really liked the info at the end regarding your notions of how Honda has specked the intervals between oil changes and why? Made sense to me! Best, Rola (Oregon)👍🏻
2 years after your Forza review & ride, but enjoyed it immensely nonetheless! Excellent information regarding the shocks, brakes, oil & filter change, pegs, pros / cons, just a lot of extra good & different, (more thorough & thoughtful), information! Stellar review! Best, Rola (Oregon)
Thank you Sir. I love feedback such as this!
@@brianrichard1768 Still have my ‘63 Honda 50 my Gram & Gramp bought me new, (yeah I’m a 76 year old bird now), but I still love 2 wheelers and nowadays especially scooters! Carry on, enjoy yourself, you’re doing a great job. Best, R👍🏻
I have one just like it. Also purchased new in 2002. Just gave it to my son.
What caused the cat to fail?
Nicely done.
Excellent review! But is it still working?
Thanks. Yes. I use it weekly to air up my bike tires.
How noticeable moving back away from the bar, while this thing working?
not very noticeable.
Noticeable to me. The longer reach is less comfortable, but the suspension helps my lower back.
Thats exspensive unless you got an exspensive bike and up the mountain
I bought mine about 5 years ago and rode it occasionally on a spare bike. It is a great upgrade for a bike frame that is smaller than you'd need. I use it on cheap hardtail and I'd recomend it to anyone who'd like a plushy ride.
you can put it stronger.
Everyone seems to have issues with the electric start on these bikes. My electric start fires every time. Key on. Red button up. Press back button start and she fires. If it is cold pull the cold start button out on the carb, and after idling for a while push it back in. When the bike is cold you have to put it in neutral for the electric start to work. Holding the clutch in wont work as the bike has to build compression. If you pull the clutch in and try push the bike when cold you will see what I mean. I never have a problem with the electric start. I never kick start my bike.
everyone hates on the trail wings that came on the 250r but I found them capable on and off road
Great video. What mount do you have for your rod holder. I want to mount mine in the coin holder, just like you have, but the mount's I'm seeing online look too big.
Thanks. It's been a long time but I believe I got the rod holder at walmart and just drilled holes.
Yes, these Maxi scooters are vastly under rated. I have both a GL1800A Goldwing and a Suzuki Bergman 650 and have now decided to sell the Wing. The scooters are loads of fun and easier for an older guy like me to deal with (80 yrs old). The Silverwing looks like a good alternative in this market. Too bad both companies stopped making them
80? kudos to u
I would love to have this truck.
Hi there. I own a 2022 Top Fuel. Best all round dually I've owned. The factory low setting is better for trail riding and high is more friendly for XC. (Which is opposite to the assumption in your video.) By switching from low to high you raise the rear of the bike approx 7mm which brings the BB up 5mm and increases the head tube angle by 0.4deg, among other small downstream geometric effects.. The slightly steeper head angle will give you more responsive steering and the slightly more forward stance of the bike promotes improved climbing, both better for tight XC trail use. The fact you didn't notice any difference suggests what I thought all along. The differences between the two settings are so marginal most people won't notice anyway. Except maybe the higher BB which will reduce crank strikes. You live on some nice trails. Where is that?
Mine just broke, lasted 8.5 months, less then 500 miles ridden. Everything got loose, kept pushing pins back in place but then top completely came off the post and then pins fell out too. I miss it already, bad roads...
sorry to hear. did you try contacting manufacturer about?
You should have a closer look, as there are fake ones out there. A normal version of this holds up over years with really hard abuse and thousands of miles, even when you’re a very heavy guy. I own two of them on two bikes. Non of them faild, got loose or anything. You just have to clean and grease it.
Just curious...it's a couple years since you made this. Does it still work? How's it holding up? Thanks so much.
Yes, Still use it most weekends.
Thinking about a local seller who wants $3,500 for her 2015 Forza. Appreciated your honest well made video.
Thank you. For 35 the mileage and wear should be very low.
@@brianrichard1768 good morning, found out it’s 5,000 miles on it. I am 5’1” with 28 in seam. I am a beginner rider. Hoping the seat is not too wide for the balls of my feet to reach ground, LOL. But reading some reviews of seat here and not feeling too hopeful-- bummer. I will check out the scooter this Wednesday.
Found 1 today with 10k miles for $700 ??? You think that’s good ? Should I offer $500
700 is really good. Can't hurt to try 500.
i fall in between sizes for this bike's size chart. Correct height for ML but an inch shorter in inseam than recommended. Correct inseam for Medium, but in inch or 2 too tall than recommended. Which do you think you would prefer in that case? I have been riding a Medium Trek Remedy for a few years (with 27.5 wheels) and it feels like a good size but I think i can go slightly larger. Maybe the 29's will feel bigger and the frame should stay closer to what i'm used to?
not sure helps but i'm 5' 11" with a 32 inseam on my ML.

Nice video! Never seen this model before. I just bought a Pepperball TRP and am loving it! What an awesome marker!
Anyone closer to 300lb. using the Red" Spring for riders over 180 pounds? Nowhere does it give the maximum weight.
