That beast is the ticket! Thanks for your excellent commentary!
Thank you!
As Borat would say, "great success!" Impressive speed the whole time and great battery life.
Haha! “Very nice!” Yah it’s definitely a fun ride. I was surprised with the battery life at the end. Was almost tempted to try going up to one of the lookout points one more time haha.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Haha! Yes another one that I quote too often. I'll bet that if it wasn't already 100F, you probably would have taken another zip up there! I enjoyed your Camelback Mtn route in your last video. I did nearly the same route about two weeks ago, early in the morning. Also did a lap around Mummy. Those roads are so fun. :D
Haha! That guy is hilarious lol. Yah that route is very nice. No cars, very quiet, and excellent views. I just wish it was closer to me haha. I’ve taken my XP 3.0 on a range test through the Arcadia area and it’s such a great place to ride around in. I’m definitely going to head out there a lot more in the fall/winter. Can’t come soon enough haha.
@@tomsgadgetgarage The guys and I quote his nonsense far too often.. haha. I grew up in the 80's racing road bicycles so we used Camelback, Mummy, and Arcadia as training grounds where we could get in a lot of miles and elevation. We would ride South mountain every week sometimes going up and down two or three times, then racing a Club Criterium event in one of the foothills parking lot at the bottom of the mountain. Your video locations often bring back those memories. It would be fun to tag along with you one Sunday when you go up there. I have a XP 3.0 that I picked up right after they went to hydraulic brakes, so happy to meet up for a bike ride sometime as well.
100% aggree with you about the position of the regen break (and for me the throttle).
I wish there was a way to swap the position of the cable break and regen/throttle.
This would make pressing the buttons a bit easier as well.
For sure. I started using the regen brake more often on my rides by adjusting my left hand grip a bit. I think I’ve finally gotten used to it. I think extending the thumb pads in future iterations may help though. Or doing what you suggested.
That was fun! That's a lot of scooter for the money. The range and speed are very impressive. That road sure looks fun.
Those windy roads are always a blast, but only on Sunday mornings haha. I’ve gone up there on a Saturday with cars and unfortunately some folks think they are starring in Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift when going around those curves lol.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Check out Palomar mountain. It's just north of San Diego. I used to ride sport bikes there. It's crazy on the weekends. There are some good videos of bikes going fast there.
Just watched a video about it after reading this. That place looks awesome! I’d need a hyper scooter to keep up with the motorcycle traffic on that road haha.
Very good results and leftover battery life. 😎👍
Yah that battery life was pretty impressive. Both the G2 and GO finished with less than 7% remaining, so seeing 40%+ was huge.
Hey, Tom. First of all great review! I'm thinking about getting this scooter. Would you recommend it to someone that weighs around 200lbs. You might have mentioned your weight in the video and I might have just missed it. Thanks!
Hey Neil! Thank you! Really appreciate that :). I’m actually around 204lbs and it handles my weight very well. No issues getting me up steep roads.
I was wondering, why don't you ever use the regen brake throttle? Isn't that easier than using the levers? I use the regen throttle mainly on my Apollo City and it makes things much smoother.
So I’ve been using it a lot over the last several days and it’s really effective. Just have to adjust my grip a bit. I have the regen brake strength set to 6/10 in the app now. Not used to more powerful scooters having regen haha. But now that I’m using it more I find it works great.
@@tomsgadgetgarage Awesome. What I found out watching your video is that the brake levers on the Punk are connected to the regen. On the Apollo City, for example, the brake levers have no connection to regen, you have no choice but to use the regen throttle if you want regen braking.
The ultimate version of regen braking in my opinion would be to have the option to use single throttle for accelerating and braking, so that when you release the acceleration throttle the regen brake triggers. That's what my Niu KQi3 Max does, but having a dedicated regen throttle would give the rider the choice on how they want to use regen. Some people like me prefer a dedicated regen braking throttle because we like coasting, some other would rather use single throttle.
Hi Tom , we got it . We have implemented the thread lock for these screws . 😂
Great video! I just picked up one of these but I'm having a difficult time with the app. Did you have any issues with that?
Thank you! I didn’t have any issues in particular, except the loud beep noise it makes when changing the scooter settings. What kind of issues are you having?
@tomsgadgetgarage Just getting setup on the app. You have to put your phone number in and they send you a code to get to the next step of creating your account. When I put in my phone number, I never received a code... so at this point, I'm stuck.
Ah yes so try quitting out of the app and reopen and see if there’s an email verification option
@tomsgadgetgarage I'll try that as well as a few other things. It's frustrating because once you don't receive the code and ask the system to resend another one, it makes you wait. Like seriously, I'm trying to access a toy scooter, not a bank account! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yah I got caught up in that but it ended up giving me an email option. Apparently Punk Rider is working on a proprietary app. Right now they are using a 3rd party solution which has some quirks.
Was interested in one of these but saw mixed reviews . After having issues with my other scooters I’m just looking for the most reliable dual motor scooter than at least gets in the 30s mph
The wobble at high speeds has been resolved so thats a non issue anymore.
Other problems like the scooter cutting out or changing modes on its own are most likely caused by loose connections in the stem due to how the handle bars atttatch.
Tom got his attatched pretty easily but other users have had problems (I had to take the whole top assemly apart to get the cables down the stem).
While I had the top apart I put a dab of hot glue and some electrical tape on the connectors so they wouldnt seperate and have had no issues with my scooter at all.
And lastly, the bell might be touching the regen break. If it is, this can sometimes cause the break to stay engaged when you release it and this means the throtttle wont engage.
This can easily be fixd by loosing the screw that holds the 'dome' part of the bell so it wobbles (That also improves the sound the bell makes).
Its not a perfect scooter (I dont know if there is such a thing) but for its price and what you get, these little issues are easy to overlook (i.m.o).
Hopefully will be selling in EU
Can you realaese the comprasion between apollo go ninebot max g2 and niu kqi3 300x
Hey! I am drafting a blog post now and will post it shortly. I will let you know when it's live. A bit later, I'll record a video for it.
So sad this Punk escooter not available in Europe.
That’s unfortunate :(. Hopefully they expand out there. It’s probably related to all the regulations related to speed and motor size.
Tom, how would you compare this pro/cons to the other big three? G2,300x, and go? It’s a different class but the price is within range of the others. Thx
The Punk Rider Pro has a faster top speed, faster acceleration, and beefier suspension. Of course, it comes at a cost, and that’s more weight. Because it has more power, you have a greater ability of getting out of hairy situations. If weight isn’t a factor, it’s a darn good scooter for the price.
21 boring minutes, 2 minutes of actually showing the scooter🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️👎🏽😣
Thanks for stopping by. I do things a bit differently on this channel. I cover many scooters and e-bikes in a very comprehensive fashion across a series of videos. Although it may not be up to your satisfaction, it's how I do things. I have another video on this scooter where I go in-depth on its features ruclips.net/video/gx6lXeQy2Cs/видео.html. Thanks for the feedback, and have an amazing rest of the week.
