You guys should offer a thumb throttle option I recently bought a new finger throttle and fitted my own thumb throttle, as was struggling with taking my finger off and hitting the brake. And it's the best thing I've done. I've also added wider bars for high speeds. This thing is brilliant! I was going to order a Zero10x but I'm glad I didn't. Waiting for legislation to be put in place for Electric scooters now.
Deadpuppies86 Youre on my wave!! I want to change and install a twist or thumb throttle instead of the finger. If possible, can you point me in the direction of the wider bars and thumb throttle links/website please. (If theyre for the R1 scooter)
nice short as always.. can you retro fit an Ohlins Damper or similiar to the R1 to aid in keeping it true at high speed to stop column wobble out of interest?
the r1 is one of the best scooters out there you wont be disappointed the power is amazing and range and build quality excellent ive had myn a month i researched months before i bought this model i liked they are a British company with great feedback of there aftersales
It’s on as standard! To test, slightly pull the brake levers around half an inch, they’ll be a slight delay then the Regen will kick in as if you are braking fully
god, i can’t decided between this and the P1 pro and this new FF that’s coming out. i’m mainly going to be on the road and tarmac but i can be quite harsh going up curbes etc. Can the P1 pro take a bit of off road use ?
If you are going to be going up curbs harshly I would highly recommend the R1 - it has far superior suspension than the P1 Pro FF would be overkill for you, as that is for heavy off road use ☺️ Hope that helps
@@SolarScootersuk okay yes it’s probably a good idea to get the R1 then. What are the differences between the R1 and FF then? I see the FF has a higher range so how come you advice the R1 over the FF? Is it due to stability on the road ?
@@aaronarnold714 main difference really is size - FF is BIG ! Like a motorbike, and is really build for true off roading. R1 is like a mini FF, just as fast and does 5 miles less per charge. It’s more subtle and the suspension is still amazing, very cushiony. Unlike the P1 Pro which is quite tight / lean
@@SolarScootersuk Yes I agree now, the R1 is definitely the best choice, it looks great :) I have the F1 at the moment - until you have stock so I can upgrade - and I love the seat on it, makes it feel safer and is quite comfortable. Is there any chance the R1 can be fitted with a seat? I saw you have a limited edition FF with the seat - would be great if you did the R1 with that same system, I don't mind paying more. The folding handle bars are also a very helpful feature for when I go travelling, it's much easier to get in the car with other bags - I don't suppose this is a coming/possible feature on an R1? Thanks!
@@pok2go the clamps on the apollo ghost blade 10 or zero 10x that kind of clamp is crap they get lose overtime from vibration or bumps on the road. The clamps lifts up on its own to the point where u fall tf off the fawking scooter. I almost fell of my apollo ghost couple months ago doesn't matter how tight get the clamp the cup of the clamp will work its way up to where the scooter stem will fold on you as your riding.This scooter that this guy is show casing I never had an issue with the clamp the only time I had to tighten it was when I first took it out of the box for me to ride it when I got it fully charged. The cup of the clamp on this scooter it never worked its way up to where it would fold on me as I'm riding. The clamp on this scooter he's show casing it's really good.
As soon as they are legal to ride, I will be first in line. I bought a xiaomi after going to LA a few years ago, I used it loads and never had any problems but now all these kids are using them and now it's to risky with everyone having an opinion that they are bad.
I would be happy to buy an expensive escooter if the escooters were legal in UK, but since they are not i bought a 300 quid one with 15.5 mph max speed, next one i would like to have 20 mph and indicators because i can't use my hands when driving, you loose balance.

Hi what brand of batteries are used for the R1?
Wow this is amazing! When will it be back in stock?
Thanks! End of June 😎
I definitely want to buy one but you keep bringing a better version when will it end.
We’re always striving for better escooters 💪 it’s just best to pick the one that ticks all the boxes for you.
Brilliant video 😎
Does it have folding handlebars
Thanks! No this doesn’t have folding handlebars, they are solid 👍🏽
@@SolarScootersuk
Brilliant 😃
I'm saving for one now
It won't be for a few months hopefully you will have one in stock 😜
How do the old bill treat you, have you ever been stopped by them... Are you from the Leicester area?
Yeah I’m from the Leicester area - never had a problem myself
nice short as always.. can you retro fit an Ohlins Damper or similiar to the R1 to aid in keeping it true at high speed to stop column wobble out of interest?
Can I put a steering damper on this model and if so what one is best thanks
the r1 is one of the best scooters out there you wont be disappointed the power is amazing and range and build quality excellent ive had myn a month i researched months before i bought this model i liked they are a British company with great feedback of there aftersales
Thank you so much for the positive feedback 🙏🏽
Does it actually do 50mph?
If I'm crawling along in speed one will that give me the maximum range single motor, or does it need to be duel motor
And does it have cruise control
Dual motor is more efficient
Get them in stock faster 😂😂😂
I like them suspension I have same on my dual
is that clamp as good as the zero 10x rugged clamp?
How do you turn on the re gen breaking?
It’s on as standard! To test, slightly pull the brake levers around half an inch, they’ll be a slight delay then the Regen will kick in as if you are braking fully

Yes front and back!🙌🏽
@@SolarScootersuk great! What is the suspension type, didn’t look like coil spring more like type suspension forks are?
@@e-scooterguy yeah exactly so both front and back are single suspension forks, not spring, but hydraulic. Like proper mountain bike suspension.
Does it also have launch mode like on the P1?
Yes!🙏🏽
How do you activate launch mode

Question is is that stem clamp good enough cause I had multiple issues with previous scooters with that same design clamp machanism.
We’ve never had any complaints about it
that clamp looks different from the standard zero 10x clamp... i was asking the same thing, is it as sturdy as the rugged clamp

R1 was discontinued for the Solar FF Lite 👍
@@SolarScootersuk I want the r1 tho as I'm a tall fella and it looks better...lol
@@anthonyrodgers6613 the FF Lite is an upgraded R1 - same size, better motors / suspension, battery etc

They will never make one as powerful as this road legal because then it would be a motorbike 😥
This is a great scooter. 👍
Thank you!🙏🏽 we think so too
R1 has the same geometry as the varla eagle one, zero10x and dual
What is the true top speed of the R1? I am only getting 42mph out of it
I've hit 50mph but on GPS was 46mph. Make sure p2 settings are on 14
I would be happy to buy an expensive escooter if the escooters were legal in UK, but since they are not i bought a 300 quid one with 15.5 mph max speed, next one i would like to have 20 mph and indicators because i can't use my hands when driving, you loose balance.
Where are the keys so when I open Saturday I know where to look in box
They are attached to the handbars
Bang on imma be zooming down the road
After riding high speed for about 4miles it auto turns off is that normal so it can cool down
Can you let me know on that question please
@@kierankan855 no that isn’t normal
Make sure your parameters are set right:
P0 - 10
P1 - 45
P2 - 14
P3 - 1
P4 - can be 0 or 1 kph/mph
P5 (kick-start) - 0 or 1
P6 （cruise control） - 0 or 1
P7 (soft/hard start)- 0 or 1
P8 - 100
P9 (e-brake) - can be 1 or 2 (stronger)
03:12 pull your trousers up🤣
This looks identical to FF lite
Yes, the R1 was the predecessor to the FF Lite, which is an upgraded version of the R1
U guys put it so pricy for no reasons 😂😂😂
