It's awesome I love mine
Try the Halo Knight T107 pro... Same price but better specs.
@@ElCuervoArcanosame price? 24000 danish.
Don’t know why but….
I LOVE THIS SCOOTER CHANNEL!!..
I always watch too-
Thank you so much! -Paul
I actually sold my Solar P1 2.0 for a Vsett 10+ because I wanted an independent front suspension fork, much larger aftermarket, and 60V. The FF series of scooters seem way better of a build that's more modern, this EQ does look way better than the P1 though. Solar's customer service is really great, I had regen braking on max and it caused my controller to burn out, they sent me a new controller and motor completely free with fast shipping.
Great to hear your feedback. I feel like most of the time on the internet, we miss out on accounts from happy riders because they are busy enjoying their scooters! -Paul
As an owner of two weeks. Let me tell you that this thing is DURABLE. I AM SO destructive with this thing!!!! Off road on ROCKS(not just gravel), Jumps, puddles, etc it handles like a champ. Also it gets up and goes SO FAST. And people freak out when they see it. I get so much attention that now it’s annoying.
I break everything I own. I have a weird enjoyment of breaking vehicles and testing their limits. This thing hasn’t let me down and I’m telling you, I am destructive.
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it. -Vosk
I thought mine was lackluster on gravel. Extremely bumpy. But drives great on grass and concrete imo
Have you had issues with the handlebars lossening frequently? If so, how to fix?
@shanew7361 If I were to spend anymore, I'd personally go with the Apollo phantom. It just seems updated and more solid than any solar. I was going to get the phantom but couldn't justify the $800 ish more compared to the eq
@@starscabaret yoooo like crazy. I just put tissue in there
Great review - Many Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting! -Paul
Ordered mine a few days ago used your old code and got 10% off. EQ is going to be my first dual motor scooter. I can’t wait to burn some rubber. The green does look slick and it’s what I ordered.
Outstanding! -Paul
Quick question Paul. I thought I heard you mentioned the EQ had hydraulic brakes but in their site it says mechanical. Is that correct?
was it a easy transaction?
@@amauryadams402yes you just browse to their website and add the features you want. I also used Paul’s code witch knocked it down to 1325 with free shipping and including the 20 dollar tire slime add on. Got shipped out the following day and been tracking it should get to me on Friday I ordered on Monday. I’m in the US.
@@amauryadams402 was for me. Showed up in a week. I'd recommend spending the extra $15 on quicker shipping. Less hands on it then vs ground
Thanks Paul! The Solar is a very compelling scooter. It is great to see so many great options.
Thanks so much for your support, as always! -Paul
I have the Solar P1 Pro USA version; dual 2000w motors and top speed up to 50 MPH. The thing is a beast for the the price!
How much?
I need something that does nothing less than 40, want something that does no less than 50😆
Thanks for letting us know. I've been curious about that one! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide That one is also likely the fastest scooter in it's price range too, FWIW.
I wish there was a chain of e-scooter brick and mortar stores that carried a lineup of hyper scooters like this. There are so many companies and models to choose from anymore.
There will be we are sure of that!
Not a chain, but we have a store here called Sonic Scooters that sells performance/hyper scooters. I haven't been there myself yet, but I'm planning to in the next week. They sell scooters as well as do maintenance and upgrades.
I’ve got the 2024 edition, it doesn’t loose the settings when turned off, new duel led headlight, grippy rubber deck,and self healing tyres,👍😀
Awesome! Enjoy your ride
Fantastic review guys! Thank you 🙏 have a great week! ⚡️
Hey, my vids on my ultra tiny channel caught a neighbours eye, he just bought the EQ after watching my Solar P1 rides. Commission, 1 Solar sticker, be nice. Loving the P1 and my neighbour loves his brand spanking EQ. Solar is taking over Leeds.
Thank you! Looking forward to the next Solar scooter review! -Paul
Thanks for your review of the EQ. After watching, as well as researching other Solar models and several other companies' models from your and other you tube channels; I purchased two EQs, one for my wife and I as our first scooters. Having now logged about 30 miles on each scooter, I have found the EQs very fun and stable to ride and I am very happy with the purchase. There were a few things in set-up that you have to adjust properly, but overall no issues and having a blast. The scooters look and feel well-made and if they are as dependable as they look over the long haul, I see many years of enjoyment. That said, I don't ride over 20 mph, usually slower so not putting them through a rodeo. I am ~235# and ride in an area with hills and gravel roads and the EQ has no problems carrying me. On the set-up, definitely need to loosen and adjust the throttle and brake levers into a comfortable position. Also, Solar has now added a secondary latch mechanism on the handlebar stem that is not very robust. In my opinion it is unnecessary as I just put some blue Locktite on the clamp bolt (also on the handlebars) and have had not had any issues with the bolt loosening. I have used blue Locktite on boats and trailers all over Alaska and never had an issue so I am confident it will work for this application. Having ridden the EQ now, I thought your review was spot on and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks.
Awesome enjoy your rides!
Thank you for reviewing this scooter. It's been at the top of my list since it came out! I would own one by now if life didn't deal me a couple of curve balls recently. 😪
I hope things take a turn for the better! Good luck! -Paul
Another great review from Paul 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! -Paul
Please do a review of the solar ff 2.0
More Solar scooters are definitely in the plan. I'm not sure which one is next. -Paul
Thanks lots paul
Solar is a great company to deal with, helpful with quick responses as well. Great having a Stateside office when your looking for parts or need info. My P1 2.0 is still just a beast of a scooter!
Yes they are!
I can attest to this. I had some questions and they were very quick to answer and help
Been waiting on this vid for a minute and just got my EQ a few days ago and am fairly impressed. Glad you guys did a review and it was amazing.😊
Thank you so much! -Paul
how long did it take to get to you? and is the website legit?
@@shanew7361 I think it only comes with on-road but it’s a bit of off road and on-road. My fender just fell today so that might be the only issue for now but I’m riding it pretty extreme so that could also be why. But overall has raw power like they said and is fast and I would recommend you get it for the price and what it comes with and overall build quality.
@@amauryadams402 the website is legit and it took like 5-6 days.
@@shanew7361 I think that was a mistake by ESG but mine did not come with hydraulic brakes. I’m getting roughly the range they said but it also depends on many other things. I would say consistently 23-25 miles riding pretty aggressively.
I have wanted the Solar E-Clipse so bad since you originally posted it
I sincerely love riding that thing. It's so narrow and light, but just bonkers fast! -Paul
Thank you for the fix for the creaky handle bars! Got my EQ about a month ago and love it. Had some squeaking from rear suspension that I resolved but the squeaky handle bars was irritating. Gonna go take care of that. Now if I can just get the brakes to stop squealing under heavy braking!
How did you resolve the suspension squeak?
@@Zman0210 - Sprayed a bit of lubricant into the pivot points. I found the best way to do it was to lay scooter on side and spray it onto top of each pivot point. The move to other side and repeat then ride a bit to help work it in.
Sounds good I have some lithium grease spray thanks.
Glad to help! Stay Safe. -Vosk
@@shanew7361 - The EQ comes standard with hydraulic brakes and suspension. It also has tubeless 10” tires. They are not easy to change. Solar actually recommends taking them to a tire shop to be changed. I got the puncture prevention installed to help stop a flat.
I’ve had the EQ about a month and out about 35 miles on so far. I love it. It’s not fast compared to scooters that do 50+ mph but I didn’t want that. I wanted a portable scooter that was well built and had enough power for me (6’3” and 270 lbs) to go up hills easily. It does that really well. And it’s plenty fast for me as it easily hits 30 mph without full throttle. That’s fast enough for me.
The only issues I’ve had were the squeaky rear suspension and handle bars. Both were easily resolved with some spray lubricant. I have a few nitpick things I’d change (I don’t like the trigger style throttle, headlight is not very bright, display is hard to read in direct sunlight, etc) but they aren’t huge issues. I think this is one of the best scooters for the price if you are looking for portability and ability to handle bigger people.
Word of caution for you. If this is your first scooter you will want to try it in single motor and don’t increase the launch mode. The EQ will take off pretty strong and it takes some experience to handle. Once you get used to the scooter, turn it up and have a blast.
U are the man bro 😎
11:15 Haha!! Dude, that was so smooth! LOL... I watch that about 6 times.
I think this scooters top speed is pretty much the ideal that all scooters should aim for. Most riders that I've seen seem to cruise around 25-35mph. Anything faster than that leaves you wondering whether your life insurance policy is up-to-date, or whether you remembered not to include your ex in your will. Having 5-6mph above 35mph is great since scooters tend to lose some of their top speed as the battery declines though, so this allows you to continue the fun for a much longer time.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
I agree with this comment once you get to the 23 range that’s when it starts to feel pretty breezy. if I’m trying to save battery, I will stay on 23 which is the perfect speed. I found for myself where doesn’t feel too slow but it feels still speedy know if I’m in a rush I just want to have a crazy time then I’ll pump that baby to 37 mph.
can we also agree that the perfect weight for a scooter is 65 pounds or under even better. I found that having a scooter not too heavy to matters just as much and you can realistically we carry 65 pounds if you train your body enough but 100 pounds it’s just like way too much. Another thing with heavy scooters is you tend to injure yourself by just carrying the scooter itself because it’s so heavy. I hope for the future that we can get a scooter with the specs, but have to weight.
@@gatesroyaleit really depends on the rider type as far as weight goes. I use my scooter as a replacement for a 2nd vehicle, so the weight doesn't bother me since I don't lug it around, and I don't use public transport. I ride it everywhere. For last mile commuters absolutely weight matters.
Got mine and love it! The only down side I can find so far is the rear mud guard does next to nothing on wet roads and your back gets soaked!
Thanks so much for the feedback! -Vosk
Sorry to hear this, we appreciate the feedback and will apply this improvement into our next batch.
- Solar Team
Looks like a great scooter.
I love mine
Paul, nice review on a Solar EQ E-Scooter!
Glad you enjoyed it! -Vosk
I think this has pretty much sold me on the Solar EQ. I don't know much about Solar's warranties or customer service, but if those two things are okay, this is about to be my next scooter!
Awesome! They are a solid brand with great service. You can use code RIDERGUIDE10 for 10% off your order. -Vosk
2 year warranty included
And very fast/helpful customer service
Try the Halo Knight T107 pro
How does this rank against Apollo pro? Gps tracker?
That stiff front end tall bars look perfect for my 6'2" 260 pound frame
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
Mom wake up RG posted!
Great vid. Very helpful in helping me choose a scooter. And thanks for the promo code. Got this bad boy for $1,250!
I'm quite pleased with the scooter after 35 miles. Minor things I don't like but overall it's fast, fun and very useful for shorter trips.
Good choice!
Please Review the solar ff 2.0 black edition 72v, and compare it to the Yume x11+
I hope we'll get to at some point! We probably won't compare it to the Yume though as they don't have a US distributor as far as I know. Or at least no one has reached out to us. -Paul
Damn fine looking scooter.
We agree! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
@ 7:00. Wow, thanks for that info. I was wondering if running one motor increases the range. I'll start using both motors. Thanks!
Try the solar ff lite it is an absolute beast with built quality,stability and comfort
I NEED THIS I WANT THIS WHAT A FABULOUS SCOOTER
Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you're able to get one! -Paul
The intro is excellent!
Thank you so much! -Paul
I love how every scooter is the fastest you have ridden. You make me want to buy them all. 😂
just buy the latest ever
Fastest we ridden under $1500! 😀
Kugoo G3 Pro is another dual motor, $1500 scooter that does ~40mph. Has similar specs, except removable/upgradeable battery. I wish other vendors would go with a removable battery.
Kugoo has tubed tires (although split rim, so swaps are easier), would rather tubeless as the Solar has. The throttle is another weak point on the G3 Pro, looks like the Solar has it beat there as well.
I do like the folding handlebars-- seems very useful for fitting in a car. The ability to put a damper on it would be nice (on the Kugoo you can use use the Roadrunner Rs5 damper-- similar scooter with a few higher end parts).
I would like to see a dedicated regen brake control on these scooters, have one on my Surron and use it 90% of the time.
That's interesting about regen on the Surron. I was just thinking about how useful dedicated regen would be for e-motos, since it's going to be rear wheel only. Glad to hear it's so useful. Do you think the G3 does a legit 40mph? -Paul
8:20 hold mode button and 40kph speed limit will turn on do the same to turn it off (also thanks to me for accidentally figuring out the speed limiter) ALSO this is useful if you dont know p settings
Ughhh I just watched your review on the Solar P1 2.0 scooter and thought that was my dream scooter. Now after watching your review on the Solar EQ, I'm not so sure anymore 😩. On another note, I noticed in your video review of the Solar P1 2.0 scooter, you list Pros and Cons which I thought was very helpful. This video didn't have it unfortunately. Would like to see pros/cons in future videos as well.
Both are excellent options! You can use code RIDERGUIDE10 for 10% off! As far as pros and cons. Noted.
Ive been on PEVs for 9 years = TRUST ME if your an urban rider & want to replace some car travel fold down bars is important - Weird that it doesn't clip in once folded?? - but id fix by having a Nitize twisty tie on the deck :)
This is pretty cool, might get 1. Also some love solid tires! 😏
Definitely! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
I own the Yume Hawk, it has dual 1200w, goes for 1549, and goes 43mph. I tested 70kmph myself, it gets scary 🤯
It does have less software customization but the compromise gives a range almost comparable to the Cruiser. Would love to see a review from you guys, it might just push them to have better software if they get some attention 😅
Very cool! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
interesting.. what's the real world range on it?
NEED MORE EQ CONTENT!!!
I love my Solar P1 2.0, no sinewave controller but much fun. £965
Swap the controller for VESC controllers.
@@bakunawa534 wish I could afford to but I like the P1 stock also. You are right though.
Yoooooo! That’s sick though
It sure is! -Vosk
When are you guys getting your hands on the Wolf King GTR?
Testing is done. Videos coming within the next 10 days or so. -Paul
Any thoughts on soon to be released Apollo Go? Based on budget and my basic needs, which include a decent IP rating, I have been leaning toward the Apollo air. But seeing that they are coming out with a fairly light dual motor model, I’m intrigued. I realize until you test one it’s hard to know. Top speed doesn’t have to be crazy fast for me.
Full review should be next month!
Wish you guys did Varla Eagle One v2 and pro
edit: nvm found the video on the pro! ty!
great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! -Vosk
@RiderGuide can you please do a review of the Stator LE? It looks awesome, and the enormous tires (while still allowing 20 degree climbing) promise a lot more stability at high speeds and over rough terrain. They are boasting 50 miles at 30mph!
No plans currently!
would love your guys opinion on it
So true my frend
The front suspension is from Nanrobot 2 and the handle bars as well.
Interesting! Thanks for stopping by.
Bought 1 about 6 weeks ago. It's really good. The steering tends to get offset though and needs frequent readjustment (wheel isn't pointing straight when the bars are straight across). Also the power cable was disconnected during shipping and it took some troubleshooting to find it under the deck. Display was also broken in transit but Solar sent another 1 without hassle. Also the disc's tend to rub a lot. I readjusted the caliper position many times but it keeps happening. That's pretty annoying. If you know how to adjust the pad distance (further away from rotor), let me know.
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter. -Vosk
You may need to tighten a nut or something for the steering issue, and for the brake disc rubbing I had the same issue but I found out my brake disc was warped and nothing with the brake caliper. It took some time to readjust the brake disc and caliper but once it was in the middle and not rubbing it never came back. I recommend using a disc bending tool and correct T tool.
Are you guys planning on doing a review on the segway P100S?
Hopefully in the future! -Vosk
I have kugoo g2 pro or highboy g2 pro they are the same xD single motor 800w 2018 and i have to say they probly stole the dising from it and improve it better from the 2021 version of the caboo and those metal plates indfront help alot not only for locking i had no problem driving 7 km to my work with a 5 litre bottle with only 1 elastick rope with 2 hooks at the end realy good. I like this one alot
We have not tested the Kugoo! -Vosk
Bought! thanks for the coupon code saved $145.🙏🏻
Hope you enjoy it! Stay Safe. -Vosk
That's a very cool looking scooter the color, the look of the frame, and how the headlight lamp looks. But no I never purchased a scooter from solar company they seem reputable.
They are a very reputable brand for sure! -Vosk
They seem so to me. Also 2 year warranty included. Quick and helpful customer service
Vsett 9+ might be a good alternative even though smaller wheels. A great performer though
We have not tested that scooter! -Vosk
Besides the old display & throttle im impressed This Scooter 1,500VS RoadRunner RS5 1,800🤔?
Honestly can’t go wrong with either! Both very solid intermediate scooters. -Vosk
I live the fact that it adjusts to different heights . Can a 4-4.1” person ride if? I live how quickly it. An stop too and fold easily. We just need a tow footer stand.
If it’s all the way down the handle bars you might be able to get away with it! I would email solar scooters to verify.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideI was truly looking for a two footer three wheel e-scooter. My daughter for real cannot stand on one foot alone. Any other brand names that make three wheel e-scooters that you can think of please?
@Electric Scooter Guide. I am buying my first scooter and I am going back and forth between Segway G2, Apollo City Pro (Single Motor) and Solar EQ. I am around 140lbs, 5'10 and care most about comfort, safety and good performance. Any advice on which option is better? Happy to hear any comments from anyone
EQ is best value as its dual motor! Use code RG15 for 15% off , deal ending very soon
can you guys do a tire break down video. explaining types of tire sizes, which ones are compatible, where to get decent ones what to avoid. im sure you have a lot more experience than me and its a lot to figure out. like right now i need new tires for my p1 2.0. sure i can buy from solar but they want almost $60 each + shipping. while on amazon they are half that. but i can only find one tread pattern of 80/60-6 there and i want something a little better for winter. but i dont know if a 80/65-6 fits or if a 255- 80 fits or a 10x3. i cant find anything that covers this for me. so i doubt i would be the only one looking for the info and i would like it presented in a smart way..... so you guys seem the best for that.
Interesting idea! We will try our best. -Vosk
Unfortunately at the moment I think they are only compatible with 80/60-6 type of tire. Some off roads would be better for winter imo
Good thing I saw this video I was planning on buying the gotrax gx2 until I saw this video....
awesome! You can also grab 10% off with coupon code RIDERGUIDE10
Guys you should really review the Segway P100!! i believe its one of the best options at that sub 2k price
No plans currently unfortunately! -Vosk
You guys should review the Gottax GX3 off-road scooter
Stay Tuned! 😀
Can you do a review on the Obarter d5… the open box version from their website for 1299 is unbeatable..
No plans on reviewing that brand! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide please consider! 45mph top speed, 75 Miles Range, 48V 35Ah, 5000W dual motor, 12" Street Wheels, and best led setup I’ve seen on a cheaper model..
When are you guys gonna review solar scooter ff lite its been almost a year now
We will be doing many solar scooters this year! -Vosk
About a month ago I bought bluetran lightning 72v 35 ah 53 mph top speed. on clearance for $1399 free shipping no sales tax.
Nice! Enjoy
What P setting for the range test? What is the IP rating? Will Solar ever make a seat for the EQ?
They certainly have the deck space. Solar has to make a locking mech for the folded stem; as is looks too risky.
You can email them to ask about the seat. We are not sure.
I really need to see the GTR ASAP!
We filmed most of it today! Can't wait for that video to come out 9 days from now.
-Paul
Do a video on the Apollo City 2023
Should have an update video for sure! -Vosk
What about my Varla Eagle One. Where does that fit in. I love mine and performance is outstanding?
Noted! -Vosk
Have you ever tried the Dualtron Raptor 2? it's 3000 watts. 8 inch tires and affordable.
I haven't. In fact, I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it, so thanks for that. It's a really unusually spec'd scooter, which is always fun to see. Dualtron's product line is so confusing these days. I feel like they should get it down to 5 scooters, or 10 at the absolute most. -Paul
Try the Halo Knight T107 Pro...
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide There is not much about it on the internet. Only videos I had found are from France, Russia, and thats it!.
I own a beautiful harley softail and I still want one of these just to cruise the neighborhood on.
It’s a great scooter for sure! You can grab 10% off with code RIDERGUIDE10
Haha I own a 21 Road Glide Special and just bought one😂
With the faster scooters that can keep up with traffic do you recommend riding on the road with other vehicles or sticking to the bike lanes?
bike lanes are definitely safer! -Vosk
When you said it forgets all the last settings when you turn it off, does that include the launch settings and break settings too? that'd be very annoying to keep changing
That can be adjusted in the settings!
I was set on the Apollo Phantom but purchased the EQ for $1,349 on sale. Couldn't justify the extra money for the Phantom
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter. -Vosk
I’m trying to get this one but I have a question regarding the Puncture Prevention Fluid. It is defaulted to 1 but when I up it to 2 it spikes the price do I leave it at 1 or need to get 2?
1! I believe! Use code RIDERGUIDE10!
💯‼️💙
I'm wondering if the FF lite is worth the upgrade from the EQ? Would love to some feedback from anyone who's had the one or the other or both. TIA
Both are good options! Will both kill hills and get you good range. We have 15% off code the EQ now with code RG15
Do you have a source for the folded dimensions? I checked their site and didn't see them. Maybe I missed it. I'd like to see if it will fit in the cab of my truck. Maybe under my bunk.
Check out the video! Might be a scene of it folded in there.
Is there a discord or a section on the website for people to ask questions?

Woohoo now I can have a trip to hospital for under $1500!
No but seriously, this is pretty cool
Haha , yea it’s a great value for sure! -Vosk
Just received mine and noticed some things that were immediately different - my deck is rubber and my headlight is completely different - already came attached, different shape, and doesn’t have the red on it.
Might be the updated version!
Would you recommend the eq or the p1 pro ?
Both are great options! You can use code RIDERGUIDE10 for 10% off. -Vosk
Reminiscent of the Ghost... And I was wondering why they had not modernised the Ghost ?
Then, after going to Apollo's website, I noticed the Ghost was sold out... Is that why they stick
with it... Or are they selling them all off, before they introduce a New Ghost ?.. I wonder ?
There is no new ghost we are aware of!
Could you guys do more videos on the EQ, possibly a range test
Possibly in the future as a comparison! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuidealso would love to see a durability test such as hitting curbs and general hard riding I feel like alot of people including me would love to see what it can really handle! Thank you
Have you experienced any issues with the handlebars loosening as you ride / apply pressure to them? I’ve had my EQ for a month now and I’ve had to constantly hand tighten the handlebars. I’m thinking about putting permanent thread locker on them as I don’t care for the folding feature.
We have not had any issues with it! -Vosk
Yes. They always loosen. Very annoying.
Did you try the thread locker? If so did it work ?
@@Ufunny20 actually I used Teflon tape and this worked very well. It’s the stuff plumbers use to seal the threads on pipes / shower heads etc. Taped them up then tightened with vice grips. So far so good. The nice thing is if they do come loose you can easily remove the tape and re-tape everything.
@@liamwilder4669 okay man ima take ur word so I think ima buy this scooter and definitely use that tape. Thank you so much. I had a scooter that would fold the handle bars and I was ignorant to the fact that you had to check to make sure the handle bars weren’t loose and so i wrecked twice because of it and I promised myself id never get a folding handle bar scooter again lol
i received my Solar EQ about a week ago now... you don't have to lose the settings each time you switch it off all you have to do it hold M once you put the settings you want them let it return to the home screen and it will save them for next time.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. -Vosk
@RiderGuide was talking about the "front, rear or both motors" and "E, D, S drive modes" settings. There's no way to save these 2 selections from a power cycle. Holding M button only activates "40 km/h" mode. (the red sign).
the front, rear and E D S settings are only one press of a button anyways... i meant for settings like launch mode or regen braking....once you have selected the value you want you just hold M and then it will save them settings so you dont have to keep doing them each time you switch it on a off. @@VincentNguyen85
I love mine! The only downfall is my handlebars loosen frequently. Any tips for this? My brakes are a little squeaky as well.
Try blue loctite in the handlebars! Brakes might need a small adjustment. -Vosk
@RiderGuide will i still be able to fold handle bars after using blue loctite
@@starscabaretNo.
@shanew7361 I have only driven it 6 miles at a time and it only went down one battery notch so I couldn't tell you.
@shanew7361 easy set up. No issues besides squeaks which easy to take care of using their maintenence guides. I recommend lithium grease. Hydraulic brakes. Very fast. Very fun. Start slow
I was so close to putting this at the top of my list but the ip54 rating is a dealbreaker for me :(
It’s enough for most people but whatever other options are available if you desire. -Vosk

We filmed most of it today! Can't wait for that video to come out 9 days from now.

Thanks for the suggestion! -Vosk
do the varle eagle one V2 please
I think Mitchell has done that one over on his RK9 rides channel, but I don't know if we'll get to do a review at RiderGuide. I need to remember to ask him to bring it from home, so I can take it for a quick ride. -Paul
I am seriously looking for an e-scooter that has three wheels preferable two wheels in front, but flexible. Reason being is that my daughter has a disability that gives her poor balance when standing on one leg/foot so definetjy needs more stability and safety features that we can prevent it from going too fast!! Can you help guide us to such brand names and models please??!
The cycleboard might work!
