100% correct mate, I'll never grow up. The strange thing about this one (compared to the M365) is that people actually say good morning to me - probably because they feel sorry for me 😂
Great to see you getting out again to your favourite place. That looks like a great piece of kit really strong and solid and after reading the specs it all sounds really good and 28 Mph confirmed knowing you I can believe that. Just look at those tyres it makes others look like toys. Brilliant just what you needed enjoy,
Top man Tony, keep it up we are all your friend`s here. I love looking forward to any video`s you produce it`s like having your mate around for the evening :)
Well if your gonna take it apart to see what makes it tick, it doesn't hurt to investigate what your options are to Tony Turbofy it or just in your infinite wisdom to find out if there's a way to improve it to get or squeeze out a little more range from the unit, maybe you'll turn it into a Tony Pro version 1,0 great video and glad to see you getting about a bit more, keep it going Tony, all the best 😎
Cheers Bob 😁 I'll certainly take it apart and I'll be annoyed if I can't shoe-horn my vision into the casing. I think this is the perfect winter project for me (in my current state).
I've just realised this is the same scooter Andy Kirby has, he phaserunner'er'd his and took it to 2,500w. Similar to what you did to your Xiaomi! Its only a matter of time until this one gets the Tony treatment. I'm glad your channel is being recognised and they're sending you stuff 👍 I wonder if they know you well enough to know its likely to be 3000w by the end of the month haha
2.5kw? is that all? 😂 It's going to take me some time (because I've got calculations to do so I only order the parts once) and I might even get another one, just so I've got a winter project to work on. I could have had a lot of scooters by now mate (Including the Zero 10X) but I'm not in the business of simply advertising, it has to be affordable and practical before I'll even consider it.
@@Vortecks I've had a browse online at the Zero 10x, front and rear hub motors, priced around £1,000-£1,700 depending on battery options. I'll stick to my ebike. I had a go on a little 250w scooter and it didn't feel safe. Felt very exposed standing upright. I like the idea how they can fit in most cars easy enough though.

@@Vortecks no it's not embarrassing at all Tony, it satisfies a need and is fun and practical... Mobility scooters I think are limited to about 4 mph on the pavement, 8 mph on the road...

Nice one Tony - things improved for me this year after getting a job and making a bit on Tesla shares, so I think I'll pull the trigger and get one of these. Site not reachable now though :( It pushes all the buttons for me too, with suspension, seat, power and price... not getting younger! Am still loving my 1.5kW ebike after 6 years, but parking it safely is still a problem, though I there are a couple of stores I use that let me ride in and park next to the checkouts. We've got Lime, Bird and Tier scooters in Budapest now, tried them out a couple of times but quickly found 25kmh to be a bit slow, but still useful if I got nowhere to park.
Cheers mate. To be honest, the way things are going, I doubt I'll be back on the e-bike. I keep thinking "just one more ride" but it might kill my ability to ride anything at all.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou. A brilliant review showing this great bit of kit going down a tight narrow off road paths getting in and around country places that youd not normally get to.

Tony sorry about your pain I'm the same. If I can ask questions I've got 2000 watt bike kit controller is 35+2 amp is it remendand to solder shunt bars with solder to give more power. Crisscross ING wire in America hes a bit like you on bikes he solder the shunt bars niped then first then thin layer of solder on top of bars and its serpose to increase to 40 amp.

Hi Colin, thanks for being concerned. I'm fine really, I just need to be very careful and never go over my limit or I'm bed-bound for a while afterwards. With regards to the controller - This is an example of people following bad examples. Your controller is designed to output 2000W and not 4000W. When you put solder on the shunt resistor(s), it makes the controller 'think' that it's outputting less than it actually is and then it keeps increasing the power. Whilst it will work, there is a big chance that it won't work for long because all the components that were designed to handle 2000W will be strained. I certainly don't recommend it to someone who knows little about electronics and how to keep things cool.
@@Vortecks hi Tony first if a I miss you bad I watch you every day I miss that was it a ten pond note on desk where you were working. You have alot of knolage regarding ektrics. This controller is the same for a 1500wat. I've been in touch with crisscross ING wires in America hes got bike like yours an builds batteries so he done that shunt last year he does say if done wrong it can be were damage to controller. Tony I bought a 45amp controller for 2000wat and a display Sw900 that goes with it. The guy said if you use that controller I will get the power I want and not to do that to shunt bars. I did try my controller out and the torgue was great but it blown a fuse 30amp I was told to use 35to 40 amp. But I was thinking then it could blow my controller. So you no what I'd rather take your advice and I'm going to install the 45amp controller it's for 2000 and 3000wat trouble is it's heavy and bigger but at the end of day better to be safe than sorry. I still watch all your videos why your humour and to learn your a good teacher. I just wish we were all younger again take care Tony your a big miss on utube and watch your back it's the worse place to have pain thanks again Tony for your advice Colin
@@colinwhite144 It was a £5 note Colin and I still have it 😊 Testing out the limitations of anything requires a lot of knowledge and calculated risk. My scooter has a 3000w motor fitted but I'm pushing over 10kw through it. As long as you know what the risks are, you can take precautions and limit the possibility of damage. Fitting a bigger fuse to a controller will only make the damage worse if something does blow, so you're correct in not fitting a bigger fuse. The controller on my last ebike weighed nearly 5kg on its own but it was designed to handle the power, it's the downside of wanting more. Don't take a risk if you don't know the danger, you'll be stranded out in the middle of nowhere and (at very best) end up pushing it home, I don't want to mention the worst case scenario.
You wana put a set of Dutch handlebars on it I have the same problem with my back so the Dutch handlebars give you a upright and more comfortable seating position.. are you ex army too
Yes, for let's say, older people, the seat always was a requirement. So having the OPTION to fit one is OBVIOUS...This makes the product have much wider appeal...Even I would like one rather than a full on bike for instance...So how fast will it go Tony?...more to the point, how far?...🤔🤔🤨🤨😳😳😀🇬🇧 Read the specs...28mph and 20 mile range..sounds good to me...When will you test it out?
I think it does 28mph but I'm not sure, my teeth were too deeply embedded into the handlebars and the display was too close to read. I should have taken my glasses 😂 They've given me a £30 off coupon.... bogist30GBP
@@EnglishTurbines They're already illegal mate. Anyway (inside news) I'm going to be the first in the UK to register one and put a number plate on it 😁 Also, the Ranger G2 is built (finished it today) with 1.2ghz and Crossfire. The 4S 3P 9000mah 18650 pack has made it rather heavy at 1280g but I'm going to try to get it off the ground tomorrow. I even fitted Hitec servos to handle the extra torque needed....... it's a masterpiece mate and everything is internal apart from the ESC which is embedded in the top. You'll be proud of me when you see it 😁
@@Vortecks Oh well done Tony..Had a couple of flights with mine yesterday in that lovely weather...It's such an easy plane in iNAV, stick it in Cruz Mode and simply guide it round using just the ailerons...When can we see the walkaround video of the G2 then?...🤔😀🇬🇧It's tricky to takeoff, progressive on the throttle or it will nose over on the deck...I took the clip on UC off mine and prefer a hand launch TBH...🤔
@@EnglishTurbines I need the UC, my 1.3 antenna is sticking out of the underside of the nose (I forgot, it's the only thing that's truly external) and I've embedded the Crossfire in the tail for maximum separation. I fitted a Mastercrew 8x8 and the thrust is unreal..... loads of torque roll though. If everything goes well, I'll edit the build and maiden video next weekend and post it the following week.
I only hold the GoPro at very low speeds and, if I'm going to do any more videos with it, I'll get a more permanent solution. Also, I did check the max speed - read the description 😉
Oh! In deed you test it. 45km/h is nice speed. Maybe not all the time but to have possibility. I think to buy one for me also. And I think about fully suspended.
I would like to use a torque sensor instead of pedal sensor on my hub motor ebike. Do you know anything about that? I found a bafang bottom bracket torque sensor on ebay
I know that sciatica problem with pain shooting in the legs. I've found that while riding my mtb all discomfort is gone, thankfully. There is also an improvement for a while after the ride.
Mine has gone further than sciatica mate, it's permanent nerve damage now. When it first happened to me, it was so severe that I lost all the muscle function and feeling in my right leg. The function came back, but the feeling didn't and strangely, it started hurting. I do want to ride the e-bike again but it might be the last thing I ever ride so I'm staying away from it 😉
@@Vortecks That's real bad. Once I was shopping and my right leg just disappeared for one second, totally spaghetti. Only inertia stopped me from falling. Thought I had a stroke at first but knew it was the nerve. No damage though. Hope you find some recovery. ...Or else we' ll see you build an exoskeleton.
@@bgezal Mine went when I was out walking at 4am. I ended up lying on the pavement and looking at the stars thinking "what now?". It took 3 weeks to get any use out of my calf muscle and a further 3 months (along with physio) to be able to stand on my toes. Once it's happened, you'll never do anything to put yourself at risk again mate - nothing scares me but that had me worried.
@@Vortecks Yeah being close to permanent loss of leg function is super scary, and a life of pain is not really a winning ticket either. And just for taking a stroll. Have you thought of moving to a house without stairs?
Can’t believe I’m saying this , but you’re never going to need to exceed 28 mph off road. Also plod are looking out for fast scooters rather than fast e bikes , so about 20 mph is sensible. O k , got that out of the way......tune it up !!!
@@girlsdrinkfeck There might be a very small chance that plod might realise that a disability scooter has more than two wheels? In saying that, maybe Tony could work his magic on a foldable disability scooter he could take to bits and chuck in his car......oh !....there’s one here he can have!
@@Vortecks Well a lot of them have a wheel on.....er......three corners. Well , I have no shame , and would love to bomb about on a fast mobility scooter that would accelerate to 30 as quick as my Hayabusa . So are you going to get rid of the Xiaomi ?
@@calderdale6795 Yes mate, the Xiaomi is going when I can bear to sell it. It's pointless keeping 2 scooters (I can't really use the M365 because it only has front suspension). One thing I've always wanted to do, is the mobility scooter thing but unfortunately, I've got nowhere to keep it.
No mate, it's part of my agreement with all manufacturers that I don't return it. I can't give a true review if it's time limited. If I had to return it, I couldn't answer questions on reliability which is a big factor for most people. I've turned down countless 'kickstarter' manufacturers because they want to ship it to me, leave it for 3-4 days and then send it to the next person. Anyway, the'll get far more publicity now I've got it for good and I can do what I want with it.
@@Vortecks oh that is brilliant im dead pleased for you i really am god i wish i had the brains to set up a channel and get some free scoots hahaha! really am enjoying your channel by the way mate you are a natural in front of the camera and really down to earth and honest, that resonates with us common folk so dont change mate you are onto a winner safe travels out there brother and if you ever get fed up with any scooters i will gladly take one off your hands hahaha! best wishes jase x
@@Vortecks It does hurt the credibility of your review though. It is essentially a paid review, where they paid you £500 to advertise their product. So many of the fishing channels I followed sold out for free stuff. Then when I bought the products off the back of their review, they were total crap.
@@simonspencer397 Simon, I'm sorry but this has annoyed me and I don't wish to be tarred with the same brush as other people. I have not sold out and I will *NEVER* give a false review of any product, free or not. I've been looking for a scooter which fits all my needs and I didn't know that this one existed until they emailed me. As I put in the video "I've been looking for a scooter......" ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html The cost was also a factor and, if this one was £100 more, purely on principle, I wouldn't have replied. Also, in the description, I put "If they hadn't contacted me about reviewing one and simply sent me a link, I think I'd have bought one." I am not biased, I have not sold out and I was 100% prepared to pay for this thing out of my own money and the review would have been EXACTLY the same. If it makes you feel more comfortable, even after I've highlighted all the bad points with quality checking and rattles, I've just bought another one with my own money so can rip it apart and modify it. If I reviewed that one (which would have exactly the same outcome) would that make things more convincing? I get offers every week for free stuff (only yesterday, I was asked to review a pile of crap scooter) and, as I also mentioned in the video, I don't reply to them because I'd never have bought one myself and also, if I think it'll only be a negative review, I won't accept it. At the end of the day, it's the decision of the viewer whether it's crap or not, I can only highlight the good and bad points but I'm glad I got one of the bad ones so people do know that they're not all perfect. Sorry if I've 'gone off on one' but please understand that I do this for zero gain and I've lost contact with a lot of suppliers because I haven't reviewed things in a favourable way (Bogist might actually be added to the list now because I highlighted the bad points).

Squeeze the brake on the left and turn it on. Within 3 seconds after turning on the power, slide the thumbstick (throttle), press it down three times in a row to release the thumbstick, and then release the brake. At this time, the cruise symbol flashes on the instrument, and the release is complete.😀
hey there , i have the same scooter but the forks broke on it i was wondering do you know how to remove the fork as i want to try and get more involved in replacing it instead of taking it to the shop
@@bacon5547 I did a series when I converted mine into a stupid fast machine. Somewhere in one of the videos, I dismantled the front suspension so you'll have to look through and see if there's anything useful..... ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html
E-3 usually means a faulty brake lever sensor or a faulty hall sensor. Make sure your brake levers are returning to the full home position. If that's not the problem, you'll have to undo the bottom panel and check the connector with 5 wires (red, black, green, yellow and blue). Unplug it and plug it back in, that usually works.
Luckily, I'm in no hurry to be anywhere. I can't stand it how some kids are destroying it by trying to break the sound barrier in crowded places. They should be up at 4am to do that!
Thanks for the review. I constantly think that there are so many scooters flying around, and yet they are supposedly 'illegal' On a personal (non religious) note and everyone can say what they want 👍🏾, but I don't like to hear that you are in pain. I would really like to be able to pray for your back, and subsequent nerve damage. I just believe that it is possible. I am not a faith healer, I'm a Christian believing that God heals today. I don't apologise for trying to help others. Delete if you feel it's necessary. I'll wish you all the best 🙏🏾 WV10
.....and what's wrong with pink tassles? Also, where do the pink tassles go? On my nipples? There, I've now firmly implanted the worst image possible into your head 🤣🤣🤣 PS I'm looking at something in excess of 6kW at the moment and I'll be pissed off if I can't squeeze it all in 😥
hahahahahaha! 2 wheel mobility scooter brilliant mate thanks for your previous reply too by the way it all makes sense now matey hahaha! thanks for the vote of confidence by the way brother x
When I started out in the e-bike world, I was called a lot of names by people in cars who were passing by........until I turned around and overtook them. Now that e-bikes are everywhere, it doesn't happen. I've learnt that people don't like scooters because they're hogging the pavement and they see them as a menace but what about pushchairs? It's another case of social acceptance and these won't be socially accepted until a lot more people start using them. I bet pushchairs had a very hard time to be socially accepted but no one looks twice now. As long as you're being responsible, there's no reason why we can't all live in harmony and, as always, bollocks to what other people think 😉
@@Vortecks yes you are absolutely bang on the money again mate same with mobility scooters they got some shit and still do but you are right the more people use them the better it is. there was a bit on the bbc news tonight about them being dangerous and how many kids have been killed on them do have a look if you get the chance. they are dangerous in the wrong hands i agree but so are knives and guns and far more people are killed by cars and lorries on the roads its bollocks. xj
Yes, I already have. You'll have to watch the video series which I'm making mine into something stupidly fast. ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html
If a Ferrari does 220mph, does the owner ever hit 220mph? (actually, if I owned one, It'd be the first to hit 230mph 😂). I make things fast because I want to show what's possible but not necessarily obtainable. Speed is a killer but power is everything a man could ever want 😉
Never grow up Tony, we love you just like you are. 😝
I never wanted a scooter before but now I do. Thanks for the review.

Tony I bought a 45amp controller for 2000wat and a display Sw900 that goes with it. The guy said if you use that controller I will get the power I want and not to do that to shunt bars. I did try my controller out and the torgue was great but it blown a fuse 30amp I was told to use 35to 40 amp. But I was thinking then it could blow my controller. So you no what I'd rather take your advice and I'm going to install the 45amp controller it's for 2000 and 3000wat trouble is it's heavy and bigger but at the end of day better to be safe than sorry. I still watch all your videos why your humour and to learn your a good teacher. I just wish we were all younger again take care Tony your a big miss on utube and watch your back it's the worse place to have pain thanks again Tony for your advice Colin
@@colinwhite144 It was a £5 note Colin and I still have it 😊
Testing out the limitations of anything requires a lot of knowledge and calculated risk. My scooter has a 3000w motor fitted but I'm pushing over 10kw through it. As long as you know what the risks are, you can take precautions and limit the possibility of damage. Fitting a bigger fuse to a controller will only make the damage worse if something does blow, so you're correct in not fitting a bigger fuse.
The controller on my last ebike weighed nearly 5kg on its own but it was designed to handle the power, it's the downside of wanting more. Don't take a risk if you don't know the danger, you'll be stranded out in the middle of nowhere and (at very best) end up pushing it home, I don't want to mention the worst case scenario.
You wana put a set of Dutch handlebars on it I have the same problem with my back so the Dutch handlebars give you a upright and more comfortable seating position.. are you ex army too
Nice views you got there. Its great machinę, got one of those. But i dint test how many km IT dose on fully charge battery. Did you test IT?
I stripped it down and started making it stupid fast before I did a range test, sorry 😕
Yes, for let's say, older people, the seat always was a requirement. So having the OPTION to fit one is OBVIOUS...This makes the product have much wider appeal...Even I would like one rather than a full on bike for instance...So how fast will it go Tony?...more to the point, how far?...🤔🤔🤨🤨😳😳😀🇬🇧 Read the specs...28mph and 20 mile range..sounds good to me...When will you test it out?
I think it does 28mph but I'm not sure, my teeth were too deeply embedded into the handlebars and the display was too close to read. I should have taken my glasses 😂
They've given me a £30 off coupon.... bogist30GBP
@@Vortecks I'd buy one, but the kids causing havoc are going to get them banned...🤔🤔😮😳🇬🇧
@@EnglishTurbines They're already illegal mate. Anyway (inside news) I'm going to be the first in the UK to register one and put a number plate on it 😁
Also, the Ranger G2 is built (finished it today) with 1.2ghz and Crossfire. The 4S 3P 9000mah 18650 pack has made it rather heavy at 1280g but I'm going to try to get it off the ground tomorrow. I even fitted Hitec servos to handle the extra torque needed....... it's a masterpiece mate and everything is internal apart from the ESC which is embedded in the top. You'll be proud of me when you see it 😁
@@Vortecks Oh well done Tony..Had a couple of flights with mine yesterday in that lovely weather...It's such an easy plane in iNAV, stick it in Cruz Mode and simply guide it round using just the ailerons...When can we see the walkaround video of the G2 then?...🤔😀🇬🇧It's tricky to takeoff, progressive on the throttle or it will nose over on the deck...I took the clip on UC off mine and prefer a hand launch TBH...🤔
@@EnglishTurbines I need the UC, my 1.3 antenna is sticking out of the underside of the nose (I forgot, it's the only thing that's truly external) and I've embedded the Crossfire in the tail for maximum separation. I fitted a Mastercrew 8x8 and the thrust is unreal..... loads of torque roll though.
If everything goes well, I'll edit the build and maiden video next weekend and post it the following week.
All the very best to you, keep well. Could you let us all know the weight of this scooter, 👍
Cheers mate. It's 22kg with the seat attached and 20kg without. The seat has to be removed to carry it so the 'carrying weight' is 20kg.
I like Chinese scooters but you need remember about 1 things. Before you start driving put grease everywhere and tighten all screws
How about head strap for camera to get both hands on steering bar? I'm disappointed you didn't check max speed.
I only hold the GoPro at very low speeds and, if I'm going to do any more videos with it, I'll get a more permanent solution.
Also, I did check the max speed - read the description 😉
Oh! In deed you test it. 45km/h is nice speed. Maybe not all the time but to have possibility. I think to buy one for me also. And I think about fully suspended.
I would like to use a torque sensor instead of pedal sensor on my hub motor ebike. Do you know anything about that? I found a bafang bottom bracket torque sensor on ebay
I know that sciatica problem with pain shooting in the legs. I've found that while riding my mtb all discomfort is gone, thankfully. There is also an improvement for a while after the ride.
Mine has gone further than sciatica mate, it's permanent nerve damage now. When it first happened to me, it was so severe that I lost all the muscle function and feeling in my right leg. The function came back, but the feeling didn't and strangely, it started hurting.
I do want to ride the e-bike again but it might be the last thing I ever ride so I'm staying away from it 😉
@@Vortecks That's real bad. Once I was shopping and my right leg just disappeared for one second, totally spaghetti. Only inertia stopped me from falling. Thought I had a stroke at first but knew it was the nerve. No damage though. Hope you find some recovery. ...Or else we' ll see you build an exoskeleton.
@@bgezal Mine went when I was out walking at 4am. I ended up lying on the pavement and looking at the stars thinking "what now?". It took 3 weeks to get any use out of my calf muscle and a further 3 months (along with physio) to be able to stand on my toes. Once it's happened, you'll never do anything to put yourself at risk again mate - nothing scares me but that had me worried.
@@Vortecks Yeah being close to permanent loss of leg function is super scary, and a life of pain is not really a winning ticket either. And just for taking a stroll. Have you thought of moving to a house without stairs?
@@bgezal I've considered moving many times mate. Unless someone wants to donate the cash so I can do it, I'm stuck here I'm afraid.
Aw, thanks Darren!
Any Chinese manufacturers that want me to review their scooters/electric bikes I will be glad to do it. I live in Shanghai
Great review .! I have spinal compression and several breaks, I will give this ago, any discount code?
Ooooooh, painful. You have my fullest sympathy!
Sorry mate, I don't have a discount but I'll drop them an email.
@@Vortecks cheers 🍻 mate, will let you know if anything comes of it?😇
The've now given me a £30 discount code mate - bogist30GBP
Is the seat post removable? (For those ‘good back’ days, that seem to be getting rarer around here)
Yes mate, all the details are in the video description.
Can’t believe I’m saying this , but you’re never going to need to exceed 28 mph off road. Also plod are looking out for fast scooters rather than fast e bikes , so about 20 mph is sensible. O k , got that out of the way......tune it up !!!
nah put a disability sign on the back cops will think its a granny scooter
@@girlsdrinkfeck There might be a very small chance that plod might realise that a disability scooter has more than two wheels? In saying that, maybe Tony could work his magic on a foldable disability scooter he could take to bits and chuck in his car......oh !....there’s one here he can have!
One word mate...... stabilisers.
Who says that a mobility scooter has a wheel at every corner?
Can you imagine it? Even I couldn't stand the shame 😂😂😂
@@Vortecks Well a lot of them have a wheel on.....er......three corners. Well , I have no shame , and would love to bomb about on a fast mobility scooter that would accelerate to 30 as quick as my Hayabusa . So are you going to get rid of the Xiaomi ?
@@calderdale6795 Yes mate, the Xiaomi is going when I can bear to sell it. It's pointless keeping 2 scooters (I can't really use the M365 because it only has front suspension).
One thing I've always wanted to do, is the mobility scooter thing but unfortunately, I've got nowhere to keep it.
do you have to send the scooters you test back or do you get to keep them mate?
No mate, it's part of my agreement with all manufacturers that I don't return it. I can't give a true review if it's time limited. If I had to return it, I couldn't answer questions on reliability which is a big factor for most people. I've turned down countless 'kickstarter' manufacturers because they want to ship it to me, leave it for 3-4 days and then send it to the next person.
Anyway, the'll get far more publicity now I've got it for good and I can do what I want with it.
@@Vortecks oh that is brilliant im dead pleased for you i really am god i wish i had the brains to set up a channel and get some free scoots hahaha! really am enjoying your channel by the way mate you are a natural in front of the camera and really down to earth and honest, that resonates with us common folk so dont change mate you are onto a winner safe travels out there brother and if you ever get fed up with any scooters i will gladly take one off your hands hahaha! best wishes jase x
@@Vortecks It does hurt the credibility of your review though. It is essentially a paid review, where they paid you £500 to advertise their product.
So many of the fishing channels I followed sold out for free stuff. Then when I bought the products off the back of their review, they were total crap.
@@simonspencer397 Simon, I'm sorry but this has annoyed me and I don't wish to be tarred with the same brush as other people. I have not sold out and I will *NEVER* give a false review of any product, free or not.
I've been looking for a scooter which fits all my needs and I didn't know that this one existed until they emailed me. As I put in the video "I've been looking for a scooter......" ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html The cost was also a factor and, if this one was £100 more, purely on principle, I wouldn't have replied.
Also, in the description, I put "If they hadn't contacted me about reviewing one and simply sent me a link, I think I'd have bought one."
I am not biased, I have not sold out and I was 100% prepared to pay for this thing out of my own money and the review would have been EXACTLY the same.
If it makes you feel more comfortable, even after I've highlighted all the bad points with quality checking and rattles, I've just bought another one with my own money so can rip it apart and modify it. If I reviewed that one (which would have exactly the same outcome) would that make things more convincing?
I get offers every week for free stuff (only yesterday, I was asked to review a pile of crap scooter) and, as I also mentioned in the video, I don't reply to them because I'd never have bought one myself and also, if I think it'll only be a negative review, I won't accept it.
At the end of the day, it's the decision of the viewer whether it's crap or not, I can only highlight the good and bad points but I'm glad I got one of the bad ones so people do know that they're not all perfect.
Sorry if I've 'gone off on one' but please understand that I do this for zero gain and I've lost contact with a lot of suppliers because I haven't reviewed things in a favourable way (Bogist might actually be added to the list now because I highlighted the bad points).
Tony
Amazing scooters - we bought 2. Has anyone worked out how to activate the cruise control yet??
Squeeze the brake on the left and turn it on. Within 3 seconds after turning on the power, slide the thumbstick (throttle), press it down three times in a row to release the thumbstick, and then release the brake. At this time, the cruise symbol flashes on the instrument, and the release is complete.😀
@@aovostore thanks for that! Will give it a go 👍🏻
It's fantastic
hey there , i have the same scooter but the forks broke on it i was wondering do you know how to remove the fork as i want to try and get more involved in replacing it instead of taking it to the shop
it would be greatly appreciated as i have not got a clue
@@bacon5547 I did a series when I converted mine into a stupid fast machine. Somewhere in one of the videos, I dismantled the front suspension so you'll have to look through and see if there's anything useful.....
ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html
Good to see you out, gopro needs booster 😉
My c1 Pro is showing E-3 sign and does not work now any ideas as to what could be the problem?
E-3 usually means a faulty brake lever sensor or a faulty hall sensor.
Make sure your brake levers are returning to the full home position. If that's not the problem, you'll have to undo the bottom panel and check the connector with 5 wires (red, black, green, yellow and blue). Unplug it and plug it back in, that usually works.
It just freaks me out how fast electric bikes are now and the scooters they just fly there faster than my petrol scooter 125 on the pavement
Luckily, I'm in no hurry to be anywhere. I can't stand it how some kids are destroying it by trying to break the sound barrier in crowded places.
They should be up at 4am to do that!
Thanks for the review. I constantly think that there are so many scooters flying around, and yet they are supposedly 'illegal'
On a personal (non religious) note and everyone can say what they want 👍🏾, but I don't like to hear that you are in pain. I would really like to be able to pray for your back, and subsequent nerve damage. I just believe that it is possible. I am not a faith healer, I'm a Christian believing that God heals today. I don't apologise for trying to help others.
Delete if you feel it's necessary. I'll wish you all the best 🙏🏾 WV10
Why would I delete an offer of help? 😁 Thank you, it does mean a lot to me when a stranger offers help in any way possible.
YES!!!!!!
Tonyfy it, just remember not to put pink tassles on it because you "came out." Lol 😆 Keep a nostril open and free to detect any cannabis. 😆
Tony and pink tassels will forever be etched into my mind. Thanks for that thought.
@@18ct no problem. 😆
.....and what's wrong with pink tassles? Also, where do the pink tassles go? On my nipples?
There, I've now firmly implanted the worst image possible into your head 🤣🤣🤣
PS I'm looking at something in excess of 6kW at the moment and I'll be pissed off if I can't squeeze it all in 😥
hahahahahaha! 2 wheel mobility scooter brilliant mate thanks for your previous reply too by the way it all makes sense now matey hahaha! thanks for the vote of confidence by the way brother x
When I started out in the e-bike world, I was called a lot of names by people in cars who were passing by........until I turned around and overtook them. Now that e-bikes are everywhere, it doesn't happen.
I've learnt that people don't like scooters because they're hogging the pavement and they see them as a menace but what about pushchairs? It's another case of social acceptance and these won't be socially accepted until a lot more people start using them. I bet pushchairs had a very hard time to be socially accepted but no one looks twice now. As long as you're being responsible, there's no reason why we can't all live in harmony and, as always, bollocks to what other people think 😉
@@Vortecks yes you are absolutely bang on the money again mate same with mobility scooters they got some shit and still do but you are right the more people use them the better it is. there was a bit on the bbc news tonight about them being dangerous and how many kids have been killed on them do have a look if you get the chance. they are dangerous in the wrong hands i agree but so are knives and guns and far more people are killed by cars and lorries on the roads its bollocks. xj
Hi there, do you know, how to change the settings from KPH to MPH?
I asked them the same question..... it can't be changed. Although you can faintly see MPH on the display, it doesn't show it.
@@Vortecks Thanks for the reply, do you know if there is an app for the scooter?
It’s a right weapon that is :)
It's my weapon and I love my weapon (why does that just sound wrong?) 😂
is it possible to change the handlebars of bogist c1 pro?
Yes, I already have. You'll have to watch the video series which I'm making mine into something stupidly fast.
ruclips.net/video/Ag6qQXQrwts/видео.html
How much ?
O yes it needs the Tony treatment mod it
Pretty good price as well
Apparently, you can get it £50 cheaper elsewhere 😉
Tonyfy it make it nuts it's w safe scooter to start with apeshley compared to that m364 your nuts can't weight for the out come
I've already started modifications. More than 6 x the power at the moment but I'm sure I can get more 😉
Right OK great scooter but don't make it back breaking fast and you'll be OK lol no nice to see out again you must be really missing the bike
If a Ferrari does 220mph, does the owner ever hit 220mph? (actually, if I owned one, It'd be the first to hit 230mph 😂).
I make things fast because I want to show what's possible but not necessarily obtainable. Speed is a killer but power is everything a man could ever want 😉
Your just a big kid....Ain't ya!
Absolutely - 100% correct 😁
If you feel like selling the xiaomi let me know, don't live far from you.
This or kugoo m4 pro
Disappointed... No bag of sweets!
It's a sad fact that some people don't give those lovely sweets away with everything. It would have been a massive bag if they had done 😁
