- Hi Everyone,
In this video i give you my first time real experience with my inmotion rs midnight electric scooter running my first errand on it.
i apologize for the poor quality video footage, the video explains everything.
anyways, i hope you all still enjoy it.
Glad you made it home safe! Sucks to get a flat on your first real ride! Thanks to you I've learned to wear a helmet and now I'm going to carry some needle nose pliers! I'm still convinced my Max G2 was a good choice for daily commuting for work. Anything beyond 22 mph seems extremely dangerous....that wobble during your video was scary!
That's awesome, and yeah the speed wobble was definitely scary and im glad that i was able to keep my hands firmly in the handlebar grip during that speed test. The MAX G2 is still a great choice to me as well.
I am glad you're being careful. The roads are bad especially after all the rain.
From now on you need to pack your tools with you.
Great job 👍👍
I will, im making my self a tire repair tool bag to take with me. I just need a small portable electric air pump to fill the tire back with air should i get another flat.
Brother absolutely fantastic video. I purchased and returned an RS for the same reasons that you're having with the shakes. All I could do is go right to left going down the street wouldn't stay straight at full speed. Tried using that dampener but doesn't work for me enough
Wow, that flat came right after your top speed run. Thankfully it happened afterwards and not during the speed run. As for the GPS data, the one time I considered putting GoPro speed data on a video, it said my G2 was going 338mph 😂.
Great video! I grew up in San Jose up north and it appears the road conditions are about the same LOL.
Yeah they are. 😅 and 338Mph? Hahahaha wow it seems these GPS Devices dont work too well.
Im grateful too that this flat didnt happen while i did that speed test. That would have been very bad and guaranteed another accident.
That thing hulls, you defiantly need all that gear. Been enjoying your videos. My Max G2 arrives Friday.
Definitely, and thats awesome about the MAX G2. Your going to love it!
🙏🏾👑🙏🏾 Man, Do I hate to get a Flat tire. I Only had one so far But that One was Enough for Me. 🙂 But I had my Air Pump and Tools in my BackPack So I was Good. I filled my Tire with Air and Made it Home, Then When I got Home I found Out that One of My Rims had Crack. I have Split Rims on My Scooter. so I just had to Order a New One. But you Lived and you Learn. BUt I'm Glad that You Made it home and made it Safe. I was a little far from home But I'm Glad I had My Tools and Something to Fix the Flat with, Some Green Slime for the Tire. 👍🏾✌🏾🛴🛴🛴🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah, man, i carry my tools in my backpack now. To have peace of mind 😁👊
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 It's Alway Better to have them than to be Sorry you Don't have them. 🙂👍🏾✌🏾🙏🏾
YOU SWITCHED IT UP ON ME I thought you were getting the GX3 gotrax not enough power huh
It was out of stock at the time, and the customer service was very poor, with zero communication with them, so i went with Inmotion. I dont regret my choice, but it doesn't mean i would want to have a GX3 in the future. The GX3 is way smoother than this RS and has a much plushier suspension, but the range is way lower than what the RS can give me.
Oh man I hate that. I had a flat and never took my tools, next time I take my pliers and other kits
Lesson learned for me. I'll be taking a kit with me next time. 😅 I'm glad i was able to make it back home with a flar. That sure is a heavy-duty tire.
I love the intro song 👍
Thank you. Its from the masquerades but i added my own hiphop style beat over their voices. It matches my channel name. 😁
Hey dude. I'm from highland park area to. I recently bought an ebike to commute and ride around. Let me know if your ever wanna just hang out and go on a stroll. Good video man.
Sounds good. 😁👊
Brother, and by the way, I'm so sorry about your accident. Man, that was a bad one good to see your backup in good spirits. Great video and hopefully back on your scooter. In a little bit period go slow and be careful. But Brother the r s has a issue with this daring damper. In the video yours was squeaking Ginger's was squeaking also. So when I got mine brand new mine wasn't squeaking? And I had no steering damper whatsoever. My scooter was going side aside
This is exactly why I would run Segway gel tires on this if i got one
@jadenweaver7529 yeah at the time i didn't know that these tires were not self healing. I installed some now though so i shouldn't have much trouble with small nails and screws. I still question whether i would still get a pretty bad flat with a 1/4" screw the size of this one but only time will tell and of course i would let all of you guys know about it so we can all think together and give each other options and tips on what we could use to prevent stuff like that from happening again. 😎👊
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 Segway claims up to 3 mm puncture can self heal glad you're good now tho
@@jadenweaver7529 😁🙏
Brother. Same thing happened to me on my GT. Bring your patch kit next time and you can fix this right on the road with a pump. I did still riding now with plug in
Great vid bro. Brother like I mentioned you need to lift up the rear tire from the bottom up to number three leave the front tire on number two and that should take care of the shakes they said. Also lowered down the handlebars a couple of inches
You can use your key to the house to remove a nail or screw from your tire next time
Do you have the link for the camera that records, the rear cars behind you?
@dalemiller6535 yep. So i used a Wolfbox G930 2 channel mirror dashcam but i also purchased their heavy duty rear camera because the stock one that comes with it, cant handle the Vibration scooters give while on the road so im gonna share the two links with you. 😎👊

The secret is to apply a lot of pressure on the back plate with your rear leg.
Eventually you’ll be controlling that RS with your foot on that back plate.
Secret accepted. 😎👊 i love getting tips from other users man. It just makes my riding experience more enjoyable. Thank you 🙏🙇♂️
Company said that the scooter is now fixed because they raised the back tire from Level 2 to level three and that will take care of the side to side
Good to hear. Inmotion came out with an RS Lite Midnight as well that goes up to 55mph and has a 30Amp hour battery instead of the bigger 40Amp hour battery and dual 1500 watt motors vs dual 2000 watt motors. $1K usd cheaper too.
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 really. Wow
Why? Was there a calling for it.. I mean there so close. I could see a small version like a mantis or something like that
@@erickspears1889 true. I personally would go for a Mantis or a Wolf Warrior X GT and save even more specifically with a 30 amp hour battery. The scooter here is still heavy.
How much range you get going those speeds? Suprised that thing has stem wobble with dual stem. Dope scoot!!
So far, going between speed 2, which is 40, and speed 4, which i got like 54Mph for that brief moment. I got my scooter down to 60% and did about 20 miles, so that's not bad at all. Once i got home, i tightened up the steering damper more to reduce speed wobble and will be fixing the tire as soon as i get the patches i need for it, which i ordered through amazon. I will do a range test in eco mode (Speed 1) which goes up to 20Moh and drive mode (Speed 2) which goes to 40Mph and give a legit range test till the battery goes down to like 10% 😎👊 but so far, man this is a awesome scooter and i feel Spoiled in speed vs my GT1 which now feels slow to me lol
@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983That's not bad at all. I missed it in previous video were you able to connect rear view mirror to display? Will be ordering my RS soon!. Good stuff bro.
@YoungWise2011 as for the video of installing the dashcam, i did that off camera and shared step by step images on the Inmotion RS Facebook group. 😅
$4100 is so expensive… I’m wondering if it’s worth saving $1k for the Midnight Lite?
It definitely is. When it comes to the RS Lite it really depends how much range you need for your use. The RS on this video has Two 2000 watt Nominal motors and a 40 Amp hour battery. The RS lite has Two 1500 watt Nominal motors and a 30 Amp hour battery.
On this RS i was able yo get 60 miles of range in Gear 1 which goes to 19 miles per hour from 100% battery down to 10% battery. That is some good range considering that im a BIG dude at 287Lbs so if your lighter than me you can get more range out of this thing. Im just not sure how different the RS Lite is going to be. Its also not as fast as this one but this thing is dangerously fast on gear 4 and i personally would stick to Gear 2 which goes to 38Mph for daily riding.
Any vids showing the rear dash mirror setup & install?
Hi, unfortunately no. I only have some images i loaded up here under the community tab. The rear camera i installed was mounted with a custom bracket i made for it out of 1/8" thick Abs and folded into an (L) shape to get the camera to stay with the original reflective mount from the scooter.
Have you had any issues with any head play.. the main front steering head ...
I saw one yesterday with that issue..
Also that machine had a controller issue fault and the shop was going to get some parts from Immotion.
Is there anything that is wearing from use that you have noticed?
Hi, Michael
i apologize for barely noticing your comment. To answer your question, i have only had 3 issues.
1. The smart charger only wants to charge the scooter when it's at 80% or below so if i have it at 90% the charger believes that the scooter is still at 100% so it wont charge at all till its down to 80% or below.
2. the app crashes/ freezes a lot, so it makes it hard to get accurate battery percentage reading when using the app and riding around the city, especially when wanting to do a range test.
3. The steering damper still feels a bit on the loose side even though its tighten all the way so i still get some speed wobble at high speeds of 52Mph or higher on the display but its nowhere near as bad as it was in the video but still a concern to me but was told of a small mod to do to make it better which ive yet to try.
But i haven't had any other issue like what you mentioned. 😁🙏
You could ride the run-flat tire assist Tire home with very little air and not destroy the tire. Done it four times. Cannot go fast must go slow maybe sidewalk speed to be safe. Not much more than 20 mph
So when slowing from fast speeds you shouldnt just flat let go of the throttle ease back on the throttle ..... i had the same issue on my dualtron ultra 2 up doing 63mph
That's good advice. Thank you 😁👊
@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 no problem I rarely go past 50 anymore it's unnecessary IMO lol
@walnutz516hah3 same here, i. Actually, I'm really happy with Gear 2, which goes up to 41Mph on the scooter speedometer but my GPS has tracked it down to 39Mph which im more than satisfied with. I care more about range as i dont want to randomly have the walk of shame with it. 😅
The thing with this is that it gets real shaky when you go slow on a flat tire. Turning gets real shaky
Can you make a video showcasing the inmotion app
Sure.
Could you send a link for you rear camera and display please?
Hi Marcus, sure.

Hi, i got mine here. It's the same one i have here on the video.
store.inmotionworld.com/products/rs-thumb-throttle
Ur the man was it plug in play
@gregtomlinson6428 yep 100% plug and play and with the thumb throttle thete is zero latency vs the twist throttle.
I am trying to get this scooter is it out yet ?
It sure is. But it is getting pretty popular so they sell put fast and then people have to place pre orders.

Dont ride with traffic. The car drivers actually dont like it, because they know you dont have insurance. Ride it in the bike lane. They're thinking in their mind: who is this guy the nerve to ride an unregistered vehicle with no insurance.
Well, there aren't always bike lanes, and car drivers need to learn to share the road. As for insurance, i agree, im still trying to find a company that will insure me, but i keep being told that it isn't LAW yet, so they can't help me. Though i did test out how fast i can go on this scooter in the video i always ride carefully and always remain in the right lane unless i have to make a left turn. Thank for your comment though. Its greatly appreciated.
