They use that box with the TV so the people who are delivering it treat it like a TV hence less damaged deliveries than if there was a picture of a scooter on it
Yeah it could very well be that. I was thinking maybe a package thief deterrent but I think a Scooter and Tv are equally appealing for a package thief.
I want to thank you for being one of the best reviews out there ! No one gets into the very important things like you! Truly know your doughnuts ! I give it an 8 on simplicity . 2 reliability 3 on looks 10 on buy her a REAL scooter!
Thank you! I actually should have broken it down in the video the way you just did..I will probably do it that way in the future. I will say that reliability is probably up there..maybe 8 or 9. This scooter is super simple and low power so the components are not subject to large forces, plus you you're not going to be riding long distances on this thing so I imagine it would remain pretty reliable for a long time. just isn't a whole lot that can break. As far as a real scooter for Melissa.. she's crashed at least 3
They print the TV image on large boxes like that because there was a study performed that confirmed that American logistical companies treat heavy packages very poorly, but treat it with more care by a significant margin if they are under the impression that there is a television being transported. China has been using this for their products for quite some time.
Just binged most ur content and it’s 💯, your channels awesome. Came here from diy e bike and didn’t understand a thing but thought all the technical things were interesting and still don’t understand a single thing with ur builds but it still made for an awesome watch 👌
More like 350 watt direct-drive (not geared) BLDC hub motor. Same as those used by 36v ride share scooters, and that's perfectly fine. Basic motor controller is easy to replace. Only bad thing i see is the small battery, but there's many ways to upgrade that. You'll maybe want to replace on/off switch with key or keyless remote switch, and start locking it up.
lithium ion batteries do have reduced capacity in cold weather but this scooter is so low power that it wouldn't make much of a difference. I think it should be ok
This would be a cool bike for older people to just scoot around town. But I have said it before and say it again, it's not you that you have to worry about on the road people. It's the idiots that do not see you and pull out in front of you. I solved this by buying a led light/flasher that they see easily. Ever since I have added the flasher I have never had any more issues. It's your life guys. Please put a flasher on all bike, motorcycles, ebikes.
I think it was the electric bicycle company Vanmoof that first started to have tvs on the packages because of high numbers of damages in freight. With the tv on there the damages decreased alot. Does it have an alarm for when parking outside a store?
First time watching your channel. And let me tell you your woman is not only a great reviewer but frickin hilarious! If she’s like this then you’re probably hilarious as well. I’m subbing and binge watching everything else!
i am amazed that your girlfriend sound similarly cool and condescending as you, but she's probably used to your other ebike/e moto builds. She should review something faster for sure.
Yeah maybe she's kind of use to a faster machine played a part on the speed review. I think riding a scooter in a heavily populated place (like an inner city) slower is probably a lot safer. Especially with some drivers out there. Most of our bike lanes here are amongst the heavy traffic so if you were to be commuting around downtown and new to Electric scooters its probably best the reasonably priced Scooters on the market aren't super fast.
You know how sometimes you watch a YT video you are puzzled about things like the way the person on-camera comes across, the turn of phrase used in the commentary, the unnecessary and exaggerated mannerisms, the poor editorial decisions, the inane or obnoxious music, the wet-behind-the-ears and unfunny jokes...basically the very low levels of skill or entertainment? Well here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a video with absolutely * none * of these traits...and I loved * everything * about it! Thanks a lot and please carry on.
THE REVIEWER BROKE IT!!! But seriously, she shouldn't have thrown that whole carton of Mucinex into the rear basket, without first testing its strength! The metal could've given way!
Something tells me that this is a knock off copy of the caroma P2 scooter as it looks exactly the same. I recently purchased the caroma P1 scooter myself but my display on the handlebar is completely different from the one shown on several different RUclips reviews for the scooter. Another difference is that the grips on mine don't feature the little extension on the ends and instead of having a half twist throttle grip mine has a full length twist grip throttle so I believe that my specific unit is a counterfeit unit from one of these other manufacturers despite having the caroma name on both the scooter's footboard (in blue lettering) and the caroma name on the product user manual.
Good review and great final funny race :) In an ideal world there would be separate roads for these e-scooters (with seat and also for standing e-scooters), safe from cars and pedestrians (for safety of all sides), but we live in real world and I am in red stage and drive very carefully and expect anything everytime I see any of these fast "vehicles" on the road or on the sidewalk, especially when I am riding motorcycle so my breaking distance is much longer than in car. I saw some crashes (and also experienced some crashes in car and also one on motorcycle, luckily no injuries) and it was nasty and I really hope I will not hit anybody even if it would not be my fault. My buddy crashed on his standing e-scooter at 50 mph on the main road, no gear, luckily ended on a grass so no big injuries, tarmac would eat him. Do not get me wrong, I think it is handy transportation (and I ride e-motorcycle and love EVs), but these small things has to be driven with extreme caution. Yes, everything can be dangerous when not used properly or/and with caution and even then it depends mainly on rider but stability of motorcycle with bigger wheels against e-scooter with small wheels is big difference + licensed motorcyclist will barely make fast sharp turn like we see daily cyclists and standing e-scooters does. No, Melissa, no book, no food, no looking around, focus on and ride so well so you get back home as pretty as you are now !!! :) I wish many safe miles.
Someone else just commented this as well. Makes perfect sense and is crazy. All your normal packages can get f**cked but God forbid FedEx damages a the holy television
Or if you can't afford a car and you live in a small town like me but I don't need much because Jesus supplies me with enough to make it by on my narrow path until the rapture anyway yall have an amazing blessed day
Nice try by asking someone else to actually review the product. We ALL know that social media "influencers" are paid by the product manufacturer to produce ONLY positive reviews of the product, in this case an electric scooter so there's no real need to have someone else demonstrate the product, who's to say that this woman isn't a social media influencer herself who has also been asked to demonstrate the product and only provide an unbiased positive review?
It ships in a tv box because it will be handled carefully in shipping. 1:36 .
There was actually a study about this
They use that box with the TV so the people who are delivering it treat it like a TV hence less damaged deliveries than if there was a picture of a scooter on it
Yeah it could very well be that. I was thinking maybe a package thief deterrent but I think a Scooter and Tv are equally appealing for a package thief.
Thats exactly why 🎯
SE Bikes started doing this as well 🤙

Wow that's is an amazing fact! And makes so much sense. Our entire economy is a sham, riding a scam, on top of a rouse
Good idea

Much appreciated!! I'm planning to make more technical/educational videos to help explain some of the concepts
She's pretty funny
I appreciated this review. Thank you.
My pleasure!

Do you know the operating temp for this scooter? We are wondering if it would work on a cold winter day.

Does it have an alarm for when parking outside a store?
that wuz an intermediary iteratiun from yer standard seated scewter to say the skoozer series type with the longer seats
I'm watching this on Gray Scales thanks to your advise. a new sub for you.
5:04 by the way, those components are cheap, I'm aware your channel isn't like Linus Tech Tips
First time watching your channel. And let me tell you your woman is not only a great reviewer but frickin hilarious! If she’s like this then you’re probably hilarious as well. I’m subbing and binge watching everything else!
Thank you! Yes, she is quite delightful ❤
Whats the top speed on it?
15.5Mph

Whoa, rated current , 6amps? LOL
you laugh but that makes for a pretty decent toaster

haha really building the suspense there. Thank you!
Just picked a clone of this from phantomgogo r1 doesnt have a speedo but has a key. Everything else the same We need a 30Ah battery 😁
She did great 😂😂 👍🏾

I am getting a isinwheel s9max 500watt eletric scooter with a seat
Something tells me that this is a knock off copy of the caroma P2 scooter as it looks exactly the same.

hop in were going to get some Mucinex
hahaha
Thought that was her quirky sense of humor and then next thing you know
she's got a Mucinex pay load!
Good review and great final funny race :)

No, Melissa, no book, no food, no looking around, focus on and ride so well so you get back home as pretty as you are now !!! :)
I wish many safe miles.
She's a keeper!! 😂😂😂😂
Classic Tv scandal. Its meant to give the impression that a TV is in the box and the delivery guys should be carful with the package.
Someone else just commented this as well. Makes perfect sense and is crazy. All your normal packages can get f**cked but God forbid FedEx damages a
the holy television
If you put a bag of groceries in the rear basket, guess what? It will cover up the brake light and you'll get a ticket if a cop sees that.
It's kinda small if you're 5'10 and above
Gaius garage you gained a new sub
I like her she's really funny.
Or if you can't afford a car and you live in a small town like me but I don't need much because Jesus supplies me with enough to make it by on my narrow path until the rapture anyway yall have an amazing blessed day
Thanks! to you as well
when's the wedding?
