7:27 how to ride in the rain
I found that the choice of waterproof backpacks is very limited, they're super expensive, and most are just water resistant, so a great alternative was to carry a few large zip lock bags, or a rain cover. This allows you to pick a better backpack overall.
Use a water proof poncho and you can slide any backpack you want under it, completely removes limitations to backpack choice and they are very portable
dang... this video was really good. Exactly what I needed. I will get rid of the rain coat/poncho and upgrade to an actual rain jacket & rain pants, as well as using lubricant to keep water out of sensitive parts. thanks for the vid!
City 22 got me through a rainstorm which morphed into a snowstorm. 907 km and hardly any problems. Guess I'm lucky
have u had any issues with the neck stem bolt coming loose?
@@actionroom9226 2278 km now still no troubles
Straight to the point 👍🏾 Sub & Liked.
Thanks for making this video
nah ur videos are the realest
only 2 months old, im surprised you didnt list any of the xiami pro scooters on the list, I believe the pro 4 or pro 3 was a bit of resistance
Hey I have a nine bot! It's fantastic!
As the owner of a '22 Apollo Ghost & a 2023 Apollo Phantom, I'd like to know what I can do to help build their resistance. Even if I have to park a scooter outside in the rain for an hour or longer, it'd be nice to know if putting a cover over it is a waste of time or not.
important i think: are the tires and any other replaceable items ... turn signal lens?
Are they going to price gouge us for these ?
I ride my scooter in the just advoid puddles. But i perfer to ride my ebike because it has full coverage fenders to reduce the splash
Im in the market for a scooter to commute to work and the vsett 10+ was my first pick until I saw the IP54 :(
Probably going with the Wolf Warrior x gt
Do you know of any shops that provide “waterproofing” services in the Vancouver area? I’d like to buy the Dualtron Ultra 2 up. I see some companies offering this service outside of the province, including a warranty
My dual motor wheelspins in the rain
Yes and no, I have 2 water resistant escooters but I ride my g30 max only in the wet because it tops at 30kph. While my other one, Duatron Pop (65kph) I leave for dry tracks. Reason: Aquaplaning!!!
Grooves in your tires do nothing in the rain. It’s all about the rite compound. Cars need grooves because of their big wide contact patches and high speeds. Round profile tires like bikes and scooters use can just push the rain to the sides. There are tires that are grippy in the wet, and ones that aren’t, but it’s mostly down to the rubber they’re made from.
My emove cruiser has seen some pretty heavy downpours yet she keeps on zooming
What is the slowest speed that you can ride the scooter? Can you comfortable ride with it next to someone who is walking? Any problems with that? Thank you!
My NIU MAX was being ride under heavy Rain and still running until now for Years
I strongly don't recommend riding in rain as the brake pad loosing efficiency as much as 40% to 60% this is critical in my situation from where I living which is right next to Montreal ,there is simply too much car and intersection in some place that sadly it cannot really fit some people lifestyle , so again as an experienced E-scooter I strongly don't recommend loving riding in rain unless you're living in a calm area 😆
My Apollo Air suffered water damage (despite never riding in heavy rain/being submerged) and I've heard multiple other reports of the water damage from other users...
I have heard this about the air. Sorry that you have had water damage.
@@nicthedoor Apollo recently told a guy he was shit outta luck, after his supposedly water resistant scooter from them was in the rain for only 5 minutes. It's great that your City Pro has delivered as promised (so far), but unfortunately Apollo seems to falsely market their scooters.
Air does not say it’s like the city 😅 do better research
On paper the Cruiser has a higher rating than the Max G30, but real-world reports via forums would beg to differ. IP ratings can be very deceptive.
Ayy ur from Vancouver haha I saw the bridge do u think the avarla m10 will be good for rain city
Not sure what the IP rating is. IPX5 and up is usually good.
whats ip54?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
How's your City looking? Any new problems with it? After 200km mine is doing fine, though had to adjust brakes because they were making a bit of noise against the wheels.
any issues with the stem?
@actionroom9226 none so far, yeah overall its not bad at all, i guess its not wise to base your purchase off of a few bad reviews
@@bemmerman before purchase of product i cant touch id like the real time information beside specs and seeing cases of stem issues at that price range im asking everyone who actually owns one
Hi, I'm a bit late but a question, is the grease mandatory on the axel? because I don't wanna open them up and mess up something
You don't even have to open it up. You can grease the axle at the bearing cover with a swap (or your finger)
@@nicthedoor thank you so much for the reply. I just ordered the City 24 yesterday thanks to your review as I need a commuter that can tank the rain. Do I need to get the lithium grease tube for the axel or the spray also work? Because I only bought the spray
Looking at an ip55. Would this be ideal for rain riding??
Depends on the scooter tbh. My wife rides a ninebot max with IP55 in the rain regularly. Never had an issue.
I use to ride on my Apollo air in the rain and I would ride in the puddle and the battery has water damage
Purchased Mantis 10 it it will be delivered today while people told me its water resistant well its not after finding that video that you showed so i'm not happy about that
I don't know if they have changed it at this point. I have seen some DIY videos to improve the resistance.
@@nicthedoor While i was buying the scooter on amazon it said IPX5 Safety and efficiency but i think that is only for the motor itself how the picture it shows what do you think if i'll get water resistant black tape and tape the bottom of the scooter would this help in some way because i need this scooter to go and back from work and to send it back its going to be a pain for me right now and Thank You for your reply you got a new sub
I have heated gloves a heated jacket and now trying to think of something simple for my pants riding to work in this 35° weather
Tear away rain pants?
IP99 -> survives up to 12 minutes while drowned in lava
SEGWAY Ninebot F65I
Is it okay to drive in rain ? Please i need an answer ASAP ?😢
JUST BOUGHT IT WITHOUT ASKING ABOUT THIS.
I believe its similar to the ninebot max. IPX5, not recommended but it should be okay.
@@nicthedoor it's actually IPX4
@@fahmialsakka3552 I would not recommend if it is IPX4
Rain jammed my direction nut and spanner nut, and I crashed just yesterday with severe scrapes and bruises and a wrist bone fracture. I was riding Apollo City Pro 2022, just purchased 15 days ago.
are you sure you didn't lock up the breaks ? in the rain you have to break very slowly.
@@Daniel_Clem It was a clear empty road, didn't break at all; the direction nut just below the stem lock got jammed and didn't turn slightly left while my body and brain anticipated it to turn, which didn't happen and I got skid on the road for 2 to 3 meters. Pretty dangerous I am lucky there was no car or any other vehicle behind me.
I hope you heal up soon.
I'm curious what you meant by 'rain jammed my direction nut and spanner nut'
@@nicthedoor ruclips.net/video/ogalo42W_mI/видео.html This is what apollo shared with me, to me it seems like the direction nut got jammed due to rain, I started experiencing friction when I turn the wheel. I am not certain about the rain though but once I have all the tools to open it up hopefully I’ll know better, but i can see some rust dust falling when I turn the handle either ways and it feels as if its rubbing metals in their.
@@AkashSharma-oe9no Sorry to hear that. But it does sound like a poorly designed or defective scooter. I would take it straight back to them and return it, not try to fix it yourself. Its IP66 rated. It should have a proper sealed headset bearing, not something open that can rust.
Flashlight link? Thanks

This is effectively the same.
I've ridden in rain, no biggie.
My scooter is an Emove Cruiser.
Is IP54 is good for riding in a rain ❤?
I would not recommend riding something with that rating in the rain.
That to close the scooter. Is idiocy De Lux. They don't know what they are doing. Heat from the battery against a cold wet environment. Stock a water stock. They block water inside the battery and around where there should never be water.
That's cool and all but the reality is that by design it's meant to be riden on dry days over wet ones.
That may be the case for most but not all. Vig Yrsa is definitely made for it.
