Waiting for this one Jim :) OMG Flip the clamp! Heretic! (Good idea) Grub Screw? Who knew...really I didn't lol Thank you so much..will be doing all these to my Varla :)
Good clue on why my volt meter won't properly tighten, since came reversed as you reveal. Also good (new to me!) info on 2mm adjustment for hydraulic brake levers. Thanks!
I have never seen any of them locked but some of the settings are not used. Which of your settings are locked? Here is a link to the settings from RevRides (revrides.com/blogs/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-your-zero-scooter-lcd-settings)
In the front suspension area, when you have the front brake on and you rock the scooter back and forward is there any play/movement in the swing arm? I'm thinkin my front shock is too loose now.. videos like these are what makes RUclips great 💪✅✌️🙏
Hmm that does sounds like it could be the shock itself, also check all of the other bolts in that area. I went the other way and tightened mine to lock-out and it felt a little off. So at the extremes, the adjustment can get a little finicky! Cheers and Thank you SO much!!
Can you please do a video on the Eagle One brake adjustment.For instance, how to reduce lever travel and how to make your brakes more responsive. Thank you
I can work on that, unfortunately the Zoom Hydraulics usually have to be bled to make them more responsive. I'd try new pads first if it's been over 500 miles.
@@fpvflyer4758 I hear you, I have only done it a few times and am not good enough yet to post a helpful video. It's the main reason why I prefer mechanical disc's.
The rugged clamp typically comes with the shim, it is possible there are other versions to the clamp than what RevRides had, if it works I'd go with it!
I have seen some varla videos when changing from turbo to eco when moving locks up the motors. I’d rather have those buttons on the left side decreasing chances I’d hit it.
one upgrade i love is my thumb throttle, i cant stand the finger one on them, also steering damper is a must for top speed, any chance you have a link for the wrench that tightens the suspension?
I agree on the thumb throttle, it also allows you to have a better grip on the handlebars. Here is an amazon link to the spanner wrench. amzn.to/30mOo3d
Any one know if the circooter raptor has a speed limiter? and how to disable? Just got one and had it out for a rip my top speed maxed out at 42km or about 25mph hoping I can reach a bit faster speed if able to do this thanks
Usually the speed limiters are at 15mph and almost always a grey wire on the controller. If there is another solution, hopefully someone will answer it here. Cheers
I would imagine you are getting more movement in the suspension pivot point. Some chain lube or wd40 for bikes should help. Just a few drops at the top and bottom and then go for a ride. Let me know if that helps.
The shim goes in the space that open when you fold down the handlebars, it is cut to slip over the base. You have to unbolt the handlebars to slip over the shim.
The key/voltmeter has a small 2.5 or 3 mm set screw on the back, it is often covered up by the brake lever.I usually have to move the brake lever, move the key, then move the brake back. Let me know if that helps you.
I have not reviewed any of those other scooters. I will say that the fact that Varla has done so well with the Eagle One shows how the 10x platform holds up. I would say if it looks like a 10x, it probably comes out of the same factory and if the company is standing behind it, it should be a good option!
@Jase Cee, when you drop the shim in there the first time you raise the bars you will have to apply quite a bit of force to move them up and into place. Are you having issues with your rugged clamp?
@@ElectronSurfer hi mate, and thanks for replying. I see no daylight when stem is in place. I did try the shim, but even pressing down on the handlebars, can't fit the bolt back in. It will strip the threads. I've not had any problems since installing the rugged clamp a week ago. No slack or rattle. I thought the shim was only needed if the gear was tightened further. I'm on a lot of bumpy paths on way to work (14 miles there and 14 miles back 😂) so not had anything become slack or need more tightening at the clamp. The rugged clamp is perfect.
@@jasecee8992 Interesting, the shim should not interfere in any way, with the bolt unless you have that bottom of the stem grub screw type stem. Nevertheless, if your stem is solid without the shim cool! My understanding is the shim is just part of the clamp to really give a super solid setup.
@@bkanegson I don't own either of these scooters but the top charging port on the deck on the Vsett is a no no in my book. Who got the time to make sure you're not stepping on the charging port when out and about enjoying the scooter. It's going to be a paranoiac feeling. Eventually, that port cover will break due to unaware/accidental stepping.
@bkanegson took the words out of my mouth. A lot of used 10x's and variants. I was surprised to hear how many people hated the suspension so I had to chime in with some things to help the 10x, or variant, ride quality.
Great hack/fixing/concept in solving some of these issue with scooters who share the same platform. Thanks!
Exactly, so many of these scooters out there that I had to share a few things.
Waiting for this one Jim :)
OMG Flip the clamp! Heretic!
(Good idea)
Grub Screw? Who knew...really I didn't lol
Thank you so much..will be doing all these to my Varla :)
Cheers Tim! When you get your Varla dialed let me know what you think!
Have you had any stem issues at all? I head it breaks easily.
I never had nor when I was a scooter dealer did I see any come in.
Good clue on why my volt meter won't properly tighten, since came reversed as you reveal.
Also good (new to me!) info on 2mm adjustment for hydraulic brake levers. Thanks!
It's pretty crazy how all of variants have that same switch as the base 10x. Cheers!
u left out what size spanner wrench u used to adjust the suspension. what size is it?
It's the Park Tool HCW-5 which would be 46mm, multiple other sizes should fit too.
@@ElectronSurfer ok thanks for the fast responce
gots mines int he mail and it works great ..thanks
Thanks for the advice! Any chance u can advise on how to reset locked P-Settings on Zero 10X ?? Thanks 🙏

Here is a link to the settings from RevRides (revrides.com/blogs/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-your-zero-scooter-lcd-settings)
Nice video, how to get the front light there down to light ??
On the Zero's display you hold down the mode button for a few seconds.

@@ElectronSurfer That was the one thing I wanted to avoid. Bleeding Hydraulic Brakes is not something I've ever done and wouldn't know where to start.

@@ElectronSurfer Me too... I kniw discs don't perform as good as Hydraulic but honestly ita good enough and they are way easier to work on
Hi I have a question I have the Zero 10x and add the Rugged Clamp so dose that mean that I don’t need to add that part into the column.
The rugged clamp typically comes with the shim, it is possible there are other versions to the clamp than what RevRides had, if it works I'd go with it!
@@ElectronSurfer It's from the add on so dose that mean that I don’t need to do these steps?
I have seen some varla videos when changing from turbo to eco when moving locks up the motors. I’d rather have those buttons on the left side decreasing chances I’d hit it.
Happened to me while going well over eco speed. and it got wild while slowing down

I adjusted my suspension. It was too soft/bouncy in higher speed. Turned it harder, but now it squeeks. Any tips how to get rid of squeeking?
I would imagine you are getting more movement in the suspension pivot point. Some chain lube or wd40 for bikes should help. Just a few drops at the top and bottom and then go for a ride. Let me know if that helps.
Hi,what size of spanner wrench was used to adjust the suspension pls?
What size was a spanner wrench and where can I get it
Great video man. Appreciate the knowledge.
You got it, appreciate the comment!
Liked the video. Any on the zero 11 x?
I don't have an 11x at my disposal so it's a little unlikely. Since I buy pretty much all of the scooters you see, I can't quite swing an 11x.
Where do you put the shim!!!
The shim goes in the space that open when you fold down the handlebars, it is cut to slip over the base. You have to unbolt the handlebars to slip over the shim.
Great tips man. I got a Varla Eagle One, Do think the rugged clamp would fit my scooter ?
It should absolutely fit!
Hey man just curious I can’t figure out how to loosen the key slot I want to move it over but I can’t figure out where the bolt is!
The key/voltmeter has a small 2.5 or 3 mm set screw on the back, it is often covered up by the brake lever.I usually have to move the brake lever, move the key, then move the brake back. Let me know if that helps you.
@@ElectronSurfer I found it ty
do u think zero 10x is better then Xtron x10, Janobike,t10 pro,Janobike X10,loatie l8s,laotie es18 lite

How the hell did you get that shim on? I got the rugged clamp. How did you get that stem to fold back on top of that shim???

I think no one is going to buy these Zero 10X scooters anymore, because the Vsett scooters have been out for a while now.
Tons of Zero 10x variants out there already that need adjustment. Also, the Vsetts have their issues, such as under-foot charge ports, which I hate.
@@bkanegson I don't own either of these scooters but the top charging port on the deck on the Vsett is a no no in my book. Who got the time to make sure you're not stepping on the charging port when out and about enjoying the scooter. It's going to be a paranoiac feeling. Eventually, that port cover will break due to unaware/accidental stepping.
@@babygamer405 I haven't noticed any issue with the top charging port, it is really in an area I don't find my feet getting to. Valid concern though.

this aged horribly the vdm 10 is the pred of this and beatrs vset out of the water shitter
better buy VSETT, successor of Zero
Perhaps a better buy, I don't think it is a slam dunk better buy. Varla seems to be doing quite well with the rebranded Zero 10x.
