    Just purchased my first electric scooter, a HiBoy S2, to get me to and from work. Turned a 2 hr walk into a quick 20 minute ride. Loving every second of it

    I never bought that LS7+ because has basically almost same range as the D6+. As big as the deck is means it really should of had more range then 45 miles. If it had like a 50 or up to 60 miles then I would of bought it long ago. But yea it's a nice looking scooter and the disco lighting lol.

      Why isn’t it safe? Expensive scooter has way better brake, suspension, wheel size and drivetrain than those cheap one. So is your car. It can reach 300km/h , that doesn’t mean u have to drive maximum speed all the time. High performance scooter is also about battery size. If u are 50kg , u don’t care much but how about people with over 100kg weight?

      @@mikelo9006 i also agree that the one going 88kmh vs 25kmh has more chance of having serious injuries if accident happens. We are talking about vehicles with 10" wheels and virtually no protection for the driver. Even if you upgrade and get full body armor with crash protection ised for bikes like airbag - it adds a significant cost on top of already costly vehicle and beats the whole purpose of commuting cheaply.

      @@veliborcakic nah mostly high performance scooter has 11inch tire with 3inch wide, which reduces the chance of accident. Of course I always suggest people go for EUC instead of scooter due to the bigger tire and portability.
      I also recommend anyone on 25km/h or 100km/h pEVs wearing protection ( wrist guard , elbow guard , knee guard , helmet). It is costly but still way cheaper than maintain and fill your car every week (plus parking, tax, road fee)

      @ He probably will be be fine. But i've just read about cases where the Garda have set up spot checks and confiscated scooters in Dublin & Cork. so your confidence is not 100% justified. I say that as someone who rides unrestricted e bikes on the road in England, and want to see the law changed.... But i am aware the police can take my bike away at any time even if i'm riding safely well below the limit. Get involved in an accident involving someone else & i'm screwed, whoever's fault it is.

      Out of ebikes, motorized bicycles, escooters, e unicycles, one wheel, etc...
      I think the best bang for the buck. Is a 2 or 4 stroke motorized bicycle kit.
      You can get a 2 stroke kit for $120 stock that will go 30-35mph....Many of the aftermarket parts for them are a waste of money. But some aren't, like the $35 hub adapter keeps rear sprocket perfectly straight & saves spokes from getting broken from the junk stock rear sprocket mount....A $45 to $100 pipe will help gain a little more power/speed but only if engine is properly ported & tuned.....
      Unless you build a proper beefed up bicycle frame & wheels. You really don't wanna go over 35mph on a bicycle anyways.....A 53cc 4 stroke kit for about $225 + $35 rear hub adapter will also do 30-35 depending on rear sprocket size. But get at least 100 mpgs & engine will last for years with proper care. You'll have to buy belts,clutch,chain & gears that get worn. But that's to be expected & you can use stock clutch until worn then get an upgraded one. The only way I'd go with electric scooter or unicycle is if I needed something very portable.
      Right now I have 49cc 2 stroke but debating on a 53cc 4 stroke for better mpgs, longer life, less maintenance & quieter engine.

    You do not use an eScooter to go to the local shop without breaking the law. Why are you inciting people to break the law? You might as well say, "why not use your eScooter to get some Crack". I really don't understand why you are trying to get people to ride these on roads and pavements when do do so could give them 3/6 points on their driving licence?.

      It should be made legal (atleast for roads and cycle paths). However some countries do allow for e-scooters (like france).

      I said the same thing before, electroheads want you to buy scooters and bikes off them so they can make loads of money then in the next breath they tell you it’s illegal to ride em. This video they are pretending they just drive on private roads and land, yeah right. Just put the Ginger dude on and say you drive on the roads illegally it’s not my fault if you get caught, now buy off us we want our commission.

That is why we have laws to prevent people from damaging others, that includes riding into someone on a pavement with an illegal eScooter.

    Fact is (tested): x2 more power e-motors will drive You x2.2 more distance compared to the less power e-motors, with same charging and everything else same, including the controllers, because more efficiency in more strength while driving slower, ie. same speed with the less powerful.
    With simple words: 125 watts built e-bldc-motor, replaced with 250 watts (nothing else or more), will take you double in distances.

    55 mph for an e-scooter is dangerous and unnecessary 👎😠
    E-scooters if and when legalised here in the UK will be at 15.5 mph as this is the Scientifically tested maximum speed to reduce the liklihood of death if an accident.
    E-scooter speeds above 15.5 mph are fine only up to about 24 mph with a helmet. The 24 mph is the very max.
    Taur e-scooter has a 24 mph max speed which sits below a Moped max speed of 28 mph.
    Persobally for legalisation I'd like if there were TWO speed classes of e-scooters. The first class would be with a max 15.5 mph maximum and then the second class with a 24 mph maximum. The wearing of a helmet should be mandatory with all. Provisional drivers licence as a minimum, a moped size licence plate and a minimum 12 inch wheel size should also follow.
