I'm 61 and have been riding my 40mph escooter since 2015. I drive like an old man around people, but when I get about a mile out on the bike path where walkers and bikers start thinning out, I let it rip for 8 miles to the end and 8 miles back.
I just got the ultra 2, I’m not a rich man and i saved for over 2 years. I have ZERO regrets. It’s a technological marvel I’m not going to miss in this lifetime
As a 46 yr old who started riding 2 yrs ago, riding my e-scooter has become my therapy. I don't commute. I just get out and explore. Best way to ride these things as far as I'm concerned. That's why range is the most important feature for me.
Yup. Just cruising around for me is enough. 25 mph and rarely do I go over that and love to just putz around. I've seen things at a slower pace on this scooter and appreciate it more so than cars.
Good to see someone who is almost 40 enjoying these! I am 44 and own a Dualtron storm. I sometimes feel like I might be getting too old for this sort of thing but then I think… who cares what others think of me. It’s fun!
When you wonder what others think, just think that maybe they think it looks like fun also. Don't think negative about it. People are just curious is all.
52 I'm BEYOND what people think of me. In fact for couple years people at work would kinda laugh at me scootering back and forth from work. Not a single person had a scooter. Guess what? Bike rack is FULL if electric bikes and scooters. 😁 I was WAY ahead of the game.
I am 54 I don't care.I am living my best life. We only get one .I am going to enjoy everyday. Like it's my first day. Can My Generation X feel me.I know you can. We should also get together and ride out.
I'm 44 got my first scooter at 41..... On my 5th and 6th currently - a King Song N11 and Weped FS - Aside from being a good improvement to society and letting people move around/commute in a different form than a car, public transport, walking or riding they do give an enjoyment and feeling of freedom other forms of movement doesn't. I find riding mine very relaxing and a stress relief after work. I love the advancement in PEVs in general....the years ahead are exciting
Never to old for fun and adventure, I live near a huge park reserve that has miles of paved, and off-road trails here in MN. This one even has a water park beach in it, I ride inside it for hours while also listening to tunes.(during the late spring and summer)
You guys are just babys..44..60..hell im 66, been riding ebikes and electric scooters in Brooklyn since 2008, just got a 5,600w new scooter, i ride everday,...crazy fun..
Last year I got a scooter when I turned 40. Not so much for fun, but more for portability. Going to parks, gym, places. I save time and money instead of taking public transportation or a cab or finding parking in NYC. Good investment.
0:01 - 0:11 reminds of me of a group ride video from the electriclife. he got separated from a group ride to get drone footage, he ran into another rider who got separated. A man who looked over 50 years old riding a an Apollo ghost, he discovered E.scooters over 2 years ago and loved riding ever since, he said sometimes he felt "too old" for riding because other people looked at him funny for riding but baesk8 always made him feel welcomed on the group rides. Now joins the group rides every chance he gets. DONT EVER let your age or ANYONE stop you from doing what makes you happy.
That's what electric scooter e-bikes are about giving you mobility and getting out there when your older and you feeling young again it puts a smile on you face every time your out there I don't see anything wrong with that 😉 😅👍🏾💙
I'm 52, I love riding my Wolf Warrior X. I bought on an impulse because I needed a vehicle to get back and forth to work. If I had it to do again, I would have spent more money on one with more range. I'm getting lime 25 miles at gear 3 Eco which is 18mph. That's my sweet spot to just cruise at. 25 in traffic just to stay with cars but yeah range is more important than speed IMO. You can enjoy. Scooter at any speed.
I'm 39, bought Highboy s2 Pro to commute to and from work, my 1st e scooter LOVE IT! Love it too the point where I just get out and ride. I'm saving up for a more powerful scooter now, something I can get out on a weekend and just ride for miles and miles, something that will go off road too.. E scooters are incredible
I just turned 65 and am wondering if I should sell my Thunder. I think not! I have a lot of respect for the speed and power of these scooters and I am well aware that regret is a painful if not deadly pill to swallow.
I'm riding a TW Phaeton 72v w/speed dampener. Love the rush! Ludicrous speed! I've topped out at 62 mph down in Oceanside, Ca. You can legally take up a lane on highway 101 and go as fast as dare.
I bought my first stand up electric scooter, the V-Sett 9+ and it's so powerfull even when going up a long 30 degree hill of half mile up hill, it just go's!!!! It's top speed was 50 mph and i weigh 195 pounds. I love it, every ride is heaven!!! It can go up to 40 miles distance on one full charge but wont work in wet weather. It's supention it smooth as marshmallows and the tork kicks ass, you gotta really hold on. I highly recomend you get theft insurance because mine got stolen and my insurance replaced it. And if your a speed demon like me you must wear full protection, this means a full head cover helmet. Im upgrading to the newer Wolfking XT for more power speed, and distance. Most the peaple i see on stand up scooters are riding the chicken/turtle scooters the cheep and sloooow types. No offence but me i like fast other wise what's the dam point? So have fun, be focused, alert, and follow the rules!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🐻👍👍
Never mind your age, it has nothing to do with riding these unless your in a wheelchair. I'm 63 and own an Apollo Phantom V2 not fast enough or enough distance, love to explore also. Now I want this Dualtron II for more speed and distance. Great vid for decision making.
I rode my first e scooter a week or so ago.. it was a rental one.. my daughter is a state champ cross country runner, and I rode next to her while she did her run 🏃🏼♀️ I never knew I was missing something so much in my life!! It was like being a kid again! So freeing... it was a night ride. I laughed... I seen my daughters heart ❤️ light up seeing me so happy 🥺 I could see the joy it brought her too ( so rode it after her run too ) When we got home.. and went in the house I was lit up like a kid.. telling my wife how much fun it was.. my daughter told her on the side ( it really was a lot of fun 🤩) fast forward and I’m this close to buying a thunder 🙏🏻😎 I’m 41 years of age.. and have been feeling down 😔 I lay in bed at night and daydream about riding the streets at night 😝 Men or ladies if your on the fence about getting a e scooter 🛴 rent one.. and give it a go. For me I like speed 🤙🏻 and I’m jumping to the big boy scoot. I grew up riding race quads and dirt bikes.. so I know what I’m in for. That aside .. the joy from just cruising at medium speed is a beautiful thing! I’m grateful for finding e scooters
brotha this is the exact way I started my girl made me ride one on the beach when I was 37. The last 3 years I now own 4 scooters. My favorite is the Thunder, I wouldn't trade it in for ANYTHING. I also own a Surron X eletric bike and love that thing, but not more than my Thunder. I will be getting the Thunder 2 this month I'm so excited, just pull the trigger won't regret man.
@@whitecloud6383 Right on. Yeah cutoffs or cutouts happens when the wheel is pushed beyond its capacity. Always ride with a speed buffer and it shouldn't cut off.
55 yrs here. It’s like riding my bicycle on a late summer nights back when I was a kid. The difference now is I can afford any scooter or upgrade, not limited to a child’s income, lol.
I was just thinking that when I was on my scooter yesterday at the Trinity River Park. I'm 44 years old. And I feel like a kid when I'm on this thing. My back hurts whenever I hit bumps on it. Because I have a bad back. But I don't care. I'm smiling, I feel free..... For someone with PTSD bipolar, I struggle with depression, anxiety, digestive issues, back issues, knee issues. I suffer pain every single day all day. On My Varla Pegasus. I feel free, and can smile through the pain for the a little amount of time that I'm on my scooter. It's amazing what these things do for your psyche. My biggest worry is that my doctors will try to buck on me being on this thing. But I have a feeling they have a steep mountain to climb. Because they're not going to stop me from getting on my scooter.
I'm 37 and have been Riding many E-Boards E-Scootres. Right now I ride my Zero11X scooter, but definitely like what I saw on the video! Again another great Video!!🤟
My first escooter was a Dualtron Ultra. It was a great scooter and I had tons of fun on it. I ended up selling it a couple of years ago. Came back to the hobby and even bought my kid a Zero 10x. I decided to go all or nothing and was lucky enough to score a lightly used Rion RE60. The only problem with that is that the Rion spoiled me so much that it would would be hard for me to go to another brand. Also, a new Rion is really expensive so that's out of the question. I'm getting up there in age so yeah, never let anyone shame you out of the fun world e-scooting. Good job on the video guys! All points were solid!
Love this video thank you guys for bringing another fast scooter out for a test. Also the specs on all of them. You guys have made my research alot easier
The reason us 30-50 year old men/women love these e-units and outdoor machines is because we’ve grown up outside! We got too enjoy the outdoors! We’ve grownup having to get ourselves place to place on our own and on our own vehicles! Kids these days are robbed of this because of video games and screens. I’m gonna be riding these things until I’m 100:)
You're such a great content creator. E-scooters are such an amazing thing, glad people older than me (17) can feel young again! And have a hell of a time scootin around
Very solid comparison of some great hyper scooters! I see a few of the next-gen Dualtrons on group rides and they are blazing fast. I still use my Dualtron Compact from time to time. However, EUCs are my favorite PEV these days. Any PEV is a good PEV!
Don't worry about age, fella. I'm mid forties, have a heavily moddified Inokim Oxo and I still rip about everywhere on it, not giving a single **** what anyone thinks, weather permitting of course. There's no rule to say we need to age and become boring - live life like it's our last day, every day, buddy! ;)
Me I'm 56 this August 16th and I've now got my third stand up scooter, and it goes 50 mph and it's super fun, and yes it makes you feel 25 years younger. My first was the V-SETT -9+ it's dam good and fast and problem free. My second scooter is the wolf warrior and I hated it right from the start, lots of problems with the wolf warrior!!! So I brought it back and got a full refund of $2800 Canadian. My newest and third scooter is the Treverun Fighter -11+ and this one is by far my favourite it's weather proof rain proof, and it climes up 23 degree steep up hills like a grizzly on steroids!!!! I'm 230lbs but the Treverun Fighter -11+ takes me up any steep long up hills like a champion!!!! I'm gonna put it to the real test on steep up hill by towing a bycicle trailer behind it and put 100lbs of dead weight in the trailer and find out if it's tuff n nuff to do it!!! I'm guessing it will cause I'm very confident with my Treverun Fighter-11+. Those two guys are first Nations in this video and so am I, so you can call us iron horse with two wheels riders, ha,ha,ha,😜👍👍🤸🤸🤸🤸💪💪👍👍😁😁
These are really cool but that double throttle thing really seems like an afterthought. Proper controller tech and programming would have taken care of this. Even the previous models were too twitchy.
You all were blocks from my house this time, riding all the trails I ride my ebike on...one of these days hopefully I will run into you guys and say hi :) Now I'm considering buying a scooter, maybe get into some group rides around here...that would be a blast.
I like his comment about age. I'm 44 years old, I've had 13 major surgeries including a broken neck, back and a complete fake hip :-) but I love my D 4 + 2.0. You're never too old to have fun. Just because I'm older and disabled doesn't mean I should have to go 5 mph in electric wheelchair
Oh man i had an elderly french guy here in canada as a freind who saddly passed away from dementia, but he bought a $1800 stand up scooter because he cant walk very far due to his old age. He was riding his fast scooter every were every day and he did it up to the day he died in 2018 at the age of 74. He got insulted by a young 15 year old kid, that said to him dont you think your to old for that scooter? He took it with a grain of salt laughed it off and just rode away. Id race him and even him been 74 and me 50 years old at the time, he could keep up with me and sometimes he could beat me!!!! He was old on the outside but young at heart on the inside. Gonna miss you , JP. RIP.😁😌😌😌🇨🇦
Lol I got such a laugh out of this when I notice they were on the high line trail in Aurora. I grew up in Aurora . I just did a battery add on to my ninebot . And ride that trail all the time From Denver.
I’m in my early 30s and looking for my 1st scooter I could care less what people think. I’m looking at getting niu kqi3. When I get more cash I definitely want to get one of these with lots of range and going off road. But mainly range I like I definitely want to go on 50 miles rides.
I'm 51 I have an 800cc 4 wheeler. It'll go 92mph. However, it's like he said it's always a chore to go use. I love being able to use it...year round. How are those Scooters in winter? Do they have after market snow tires? I'd totally ride 1. Maybe not in winter but it'd be nice to have that option. Cheaper insurance too.
It's crazy how big scooters on in general in Denver from gopeds to these even mini bikes then in the springs it's pretty much just me and 2 buddies lol
Great video of balanced views on performance,suitability impact on other trail/road users. As for 40+ riders,what the hell cos there's plenty of time ahead for the nursing home!
You know I’m really happy with my warrior wolf and it does 50mph. This is really a can opener for me because now I’m addicted. I’m dropping a new scooter video almost everyday. Love the vibes, stay safe out there.
@@freshlycharged so true. Please let me know what you think of my video when you have time. Or if there’s something you’d like to see here in Florida I’ll cover it for you.
I'm 63 and retired in the last year I've got 1,000 watt Uber scooter the one with the lobby tires I took the stupid seat off and it looks much cooler, last year I bought 750w 48Ah bawfang fat tire mountain bike, and last week I just picked up a stealth bomber 12000w 72 volt battery 38.8Ah, but I still ride motorcycles I've got a 1500 mean streak and enjoy all my cars also.
Old? These electric vehicles have saved old. Be it an electric bicycle or scooter we can now go out and explore places our knees and and age have restricted us. I did cycling/triathlon/biathlons all sports in my youth (only 52) but my knees no longer have cartilage although I can still walk without discomfort for a very short distance before resting. Hiking? Forget it. Running? Nope. You get the idea. But these scooters have extended my exploration of my surroundings and beyond. I have respect for pedestrians, dogs, horses and let them have the right away or go very slow by them and many are thankful. Perhaps if we leave a positive impression we won't get regulated into oblivion. Stay safe and have fun folks. This is just the beginning.
interesting style of video on this one guys...very cool :) I thought it was interesting that they compared it to the 4x4s...they're right...they can just ride from their garages with a scooter and no commuting for hours to get somewhere :) Cheers from BC :)
So, when does the big top dog hyper scooter comparison come? Dualtron vs Nami vs Kaabo. Oh, and I'm 64. I bought my first scooter last year. Absolutely love my Apollo Phantom and the Apollo company for it's support. Time to go faster though.
I'm 66 and love OneWheel, Scooters and Skates! I own 4 OneWheels 4 electric scooters and one electric bike.... I wish I had a King Song S20 Eagle ! (I haven't tried unicycle yet.) I'm nuts right!???
4k scooters are not designed for kids. They're designed for 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 year old folks. Then the wheelchair comes
Plus they're priced that the average kid can't afford it (unless they saved for it or have rich parents).
And not always in that order lol
Wheelchair has some decent power in it, I hope?
there are many rich kids in the world but ofcourse a poor one like you comment
I'm 27 years old and saved up big for DT2!

I'm getting up there in age so yeah, never let anyone shame you out of the fun world e-scooting. Good job on the video guys! All points were solid!
I'm age 51 and have been on scooter since April 2022....AWESOME!!
The weather looked great for this video!
I’m turning 60 this year and I love my eMove Cruiser
Love this!
Love this video thank you guys for bringing another fast scooter out for a test. Also the specs on all of them. You guys have made my research alot easier
The reason us 30-50 year old men/women love these e-units and outdoor machines is because we’ve grown up outside! We got too enjoy the outdoors! We’ve grownup having to get ourselves place to place on our own and on our own vehicles! Kids these days are robbed of this because of video games and screens. I’m gonna be riding these things until I’m 100:)
I agree! That's why I love testing out all these PEVs with Jimmy. We get to spend tons of time outdoors enjoying the fresh air.
I started riding an Apollo Ghost at 37. It’s fun, economical transportation. I see a Dualtron in my future
I was hoping to see e-scooters with nice motor sounds and this is it! Nice to see something that makes futuristic sounds!
Please test the new “Bluetran Lightning” from mini motors! Thing looks awesome and has amazing specs!
Im 29 and ride a 55mph two stroke Go-Ped Trail Ripper. Been riding since I was 14.
Go peds are a blast!
I’m 71 just bought my first scooter Dragon GTS v2, I’m hooked,looking to upgrade already having said that I love my Dragon ❤
Man, I need to get one of these. So great. I never had one. Thinking, my girl and I riding down the shore area. You got me on this.
You're such a great content creator. E-scooters are such an amazing thing, glad people older than me (17) can feel young again! And have a hell of a time scootin around
Very solid comparison of some great hyper scooters! I see a few of the next-gen Dualtrons on group rides and they are blazing fast. I still use my Dualtron Compact from time to time. However, EUCs are my favorite PEV these days. Any PEV is a good PEV!
It’s been amazing to hear about your evolution with PEVs!
@@freshlycharged We both have diversified. I love seeing people happy on whatever PEV :)
Don't worry about age, fella. I'm mid forties, have a heavily moddified Inokim Oxo and I still rip about everywhere on it, not giving a single **** what anyone thinks, weather permitting of course. There's no rule to say we need to age and become boring - live life like it's our last day, every day, buddy! ;)
Me I'm 56 this August 16th and I've now got my third stand up scooter, and it goes 50 mph and it's super fun, and yes it makes you feel 25 years younger. My first was the V-SETT -9+ it's dam good and fast and problem free. My second scooter is the wolf warrior and I hated it right from the start, lots of problems with the wolf warrior!!! So I brought it back and got a full refund of $2800 Canadian. My newest and third scooter is the Treverun Fighter -11+ and this one is by far my favourite it's weather proof rain proof, and it climes up 23 degree steep up hills like a grizzly on steroids!!!! I'm 230lbs but the Treverun Fighter -11+ takes me up any steep long up hills like a champion!!!! I'm gonna put it to the real test on steep up hill by towing a bycicle trailer behind it and put 100lbs of dead weight in the trailer and find out if it's tuff n nuff to do it!!! I'm guessing it will cause I'm very confident with my Treverun Fighter-11+. Those two guys are first Nations in this video and so am I, so you can call us iron horse with two wheels riders, ha,ha,ha,😜👍👍🤸🤸🤸🤸💪💪👍👍😁😁
Dualtron Thunder & Thunder look amazing, just out of my current price range!
Work hard and your dreams can some day be real.
These are really cool but that double throttle thing really seems like an afterthought. Proper controller tech and programming would have taken care of this. Even the previous models were too twitchy.
Big fan of your channel. I hope that you will make some reviews on Maike scooters as well. More power
You all were blocks from my house this time, riding all the trails I ride my ebike on...one of these days hopefully I will run into you guys and say hi :) Now I'm considering buying a scooter, maybe get into some group rides around here...that would be a blast.
Those are some great trails! Say hi if you ever see us!
40 years old and up?.................Age ain't nuthin' but a number!!!
Do what you enjoy in life and what and whatever makes you happy!!!
Agreed 100%
YOLO! 🤣
I've got a dualtron 1 with the ultra 2 72v battery plus the Dualtron X2 controller. The scooter is a beast.
I like his comment about age. I'm 44 years old, I've had 13 major surgeries including a broken neck, back and a complete fake hip :-) but I love my D 4 + 2.0. You're never too old to have fun. Just because I'm older and disabled doesn't mean I should have to go 5 mph in electric wheelchair
Another great video, Brother! Makes me want to add a scooter lol.
I’m 71 and can still hammer the pavement 😂😂😂. More fun then my 1500 ram truck lifted.
Do you have to mess about with the Rubber Mat on the Dualtron 2 when installing the Seat?
Oh man i had an elderly french guy here in canada as a freind who saddly passed away from dementia, but he bought a $1800 stand up scooter because he cant walk very far due to his old age. He was riding his fast scooter every were every day and he did it up to the day he died in 2018 at the age of 74. He got insulted by a young 15 year old kid, that said to him dont you think your to old for that scooter? He took it with a grain of salt laughed it off and just rode away. Id race him and even him been 74 and me 50 years old at the time, he could keep up with me and sometimes he could beat me!!!! He was old on the outside but young at heart on the inside. Gonna miss you , JP. RIP.😁😌😌😌🇨🇦
Im a huge goped guy out here in Denver been looking into an electric scooter may have to look into the dualtron more seems like a very capable scooter
You would love them since you've ridden GoPeds. Instant power with electric motors.
Thunder 2! I really want that scooter. But, I settled for the vsett 10+R.
Lol I got such a laugh out of this when I notice they were on the high line trail in Aurora. I grew up in Aurora . I just did a battery add on to my ninebot . And ride that trail all the time From Denver.
Thanks for tuning in and glad we could make you laugh! There's amazing trail systems through the Denver metro area.
Hope to see you on the trails!
i love your attitude. Nice video
Appreciate you!
I’m in my early 30s and looking for my 1st scooter I could care less what people think. I’m looking at getting niu kqi3. When I get more cash I definitely want to get one of these with lots of range and going off road. But mainly range I like I definitely want to go on 50 miles rides.
Bro I’m 52 years young and I’m on my Thunder 2 as often as I can get the chance too. Feel free Brotha!
I had the Ultra 2- I believe it’s Dualtron’s best kept secret.. I have the Thunder 3 now and I love it but I miss the Ultra 2.. oh I’m 46 by the way 😂
I love it, can't wait to see these guys on a onewheel!
Thanks for the support! Jimmy and I are excited for the new GT to come out? Will nosedives be a thing of the past?
I'm 51 I have an 800cc 4 wheeler. It'll go 92mph. However, it's like he said it's always a chore to go use. I love being able to use it...year round. How are those Scooters in winter? Do they have after market snow tires? I'd totally ride 1. Maybe not in winter but it'd be nice to have that option.
Cheaper insurance too.
They are coming out with studded winter tires. We ride them year round in Denver. If you check out our latest videos, there's quite a few with snow.
I love these escooters and you guys are so cool!!
I'm 44 and love my scooter
That was a great inspiring video! Almost made me think about getting a scooter 😂
But we all know that monowheel is all your touch!🎶
Age is just a number, it all come down to how young you feel and you're never too old to be a kid.
All most 40!!? I'm almost 60 my man! And I'm not gonna stop riding till I'm on a flying scooter!
What the fk...I'm nearly 60 riding an entry level scooter and it's freaking me out!
Cheers!
Mick, Victoria, Australia
It's crazy how big scooters on in general in Denver from gopeds to these even mini bikes then in the springs it's pretty much just me and 2 buddies lol
Great video of balanced views on performance,suitability impact on other trail/road users. As for 40+ riders,what the hell cos there's plenty of time ahead for the nursing home!
When he said he's almost 40 riding scooters I laughed..
I'm 57 young man ....riding my Apollo almost 3 years now. And Ill be riding when Im 70!
You know I’m really happy with my warrior wolf and it does 50mph. This is really a can opener for me because now I’m addicted.
I’m dropping a new scooter video almost everyday.
Love the vibes, stay safe out there.
A scooter ride a day is the best way to play!
@@freshlycharged so true. Please let me know what you think of my video when you have time.
Or if there’s something you’d like to see here in Florida I’ll cover it for you.
Cool video I enjoyed riding with you guys that day.
Thanks! And thank you for letting us hand out with you for the day!
Hell yeah bro, I'm thinking about picking one up as well
You should!
3:40 to 4:20 this dude is speaking THRUTH this sums ups my scooter outlook to a T
Love love
Great review and great scooters. 🙏🏾Respect to your channel from East Coast Scooters. Team ECS... Sarge 🛴🦍🦍🦍⚡️
Thanks for the support! Where are you guys located? I'm trying to do some group rides in other states this year.
@@Andrew-vt4jt We are located in NYC
Much appreciated
Price ?
I'm 63 and retired in the last year I've got 1,000 watt Uber scooter the one with the lobby tires I took the stupid seat off and it looks much cooler, last year I bought 750w 48Ah bawfang fat tire mountain bike, and last week I just picked up a stealth bomber 12000w 72 volt battery 38.8Ah, but I still ride motorcycles I've got a 1500 mean streak and enjoy all my cars also.
Right on! Enjoy retirement! You earned it!
55 year old, I love my Q Power. So much fun
Glad you're having a fun time!
What do you like most about the Q Power?
I don't know, I've been watching from 0.00-0.08 10 times already!
Old? These electric vehicles have saved old. Be it an electric bicycle or scooter we can now go out and explore places our knees and and age have restricted us. I did cycling/triathlon/biathlons all sports in my youth (only 52) but my knees no longer have cartilage although I can still walk without discomfort for a very short distance before resting. Hiking? Forget it. Running? Nope. You get the idea.
But these scooters have extended my exploration of my surroundings and beyond. I have respect for pedestrians, dogs, horses and let them have the right away or go very slow by them and many are thankful. Perhaps if we leave a positive impression we won't get regulated into oblivion.
Stay safe and have fun folks. This is just the beginning.
interesting style of video on this one guys...very cool :)
I thought it was interesting that they compared it to the 4x4s...they're right...they can just ride from their garages with a scooter and no commuting for hours to get somewhere :)
Cheers from BC :)
8.59 good reflex👏
Hi.
When are you going to test the Thunder III?
Is it in your plans?
Thank You and keep the Good Job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So, when does the big top dog hyper scooter comparison come? Dualtron vs Nami vs Kaabo. Oh, and I'm 64. I bought my first scooter last year. Absolutely love my Apollo Phantom and the Apollo company for it's support. Time to go faster though.
36 just got a dualtron eagle pro, still saving for the quick one 😅
It makes me feel like a kid again😁
We still need a scooter that is solidly made in America. For the price I’d hope these scooters don’t burn up thru controllers but they do
love ur vids! keep it up!
I'm 66 and love OneWheel, Scooters and Skates!
I own 4 OneWheels 4 electric scooters and one electric bike....
I wish I had a King Song S20 Eagle ! (I haven't tried unicycle yet.)
I'm nuts right!???
Hope I never have to get an electric wheelchair....
But if I do it's gonna RIP !
That's a great collection you have. The EUC is one of our favorite PEVs out at the current moment. The S20 feels great on old joints.
He likes the size of the deck, it’s the biggest deck he’s ever rode in his life 🤫
I'm 55 and ride mine 10-15 miles every day
You live a good life!
Love this video
Yes "feel free"
Can't wait for e-scooters to be legal to use here in the UK.
It's sad how they don't allow you to own one but you can rent one?!?!
