your videos are always very interested because you show the points of the product that others forget to say. This scooter, for example, has the quality of a large motorcycle and is very practical for the city with the fingerprint arrangement that no motorcycle model on the current market has. Thanks for your video and take care.
Great vehicle for many countries where you have slower speeds on rural roads and you have 5 - 10 mile commutes to get to a market and back. Just need a packpack. Wouldn't even have to charge it every day.
But a petrol would be as well at half the cost. I get 40km to the liter easy on my Honda 125. So with that described use, you would only fill it up every other month.. This whole electric thing seems a bit forced to me at times.
@@christianolsen9781 nah in asia these electric scooters are everywhere and practical to just be able to charge at home. had one when i wqs living in shanghai
Battery pack is annoying for the price point it has to be a premium product. Unfortunately this is not a premium product price is the factor that reduces the appeal may be more desirable as a secondhand option, can see it finding its own price level on the second hand arena. New it would just not appeal to me
Nothing is £1.5k any more, even used you’re buying something old, abused, worn out and most probably crap to begin with. This is quite well priced in comparison to its competitors, for example a Honda Grom is £3,799 before options and things like this are most likely to be bought on some sort of finance where the monthly payments are more relevant than list price.
Nice but I don't see how this can be classed as a scooter? Its an electric motorbike. I have a Lifan E3 electric scooter that comfortably keeps me dry on the move at least with the added windscreen. Your feet are going to get wet on that one. I also can bring shopping bags on the handlebars (those bars are too deep for that) and a big heavy shopping bag on the flat floor between my feet and I have a big helmet box on the back. That combined with a decent sized back pack and you can bring quite an amount of shopping as well as plenty of storage for my lock and rain gear under the seat. That's what you need on a proper scooter.
The SEAT mó and Silent both have reverse gear and a better removable battery solution. Also, storage is poor for the market this would be aimed at surely.
Good concept but they screw it with the charging. Why not use the standard plug for cars? Why not storage capacity for the charger? Why not water resistant charger? All screams bad engineering. And you don’t want that on an electric vehicle.
Seems like the electric take on a Honda grom. If it had more range, then it would be definitely something looking into. At it’s given price and the competition from those like the grom, it doesn’t make sense for a commuter, especially when the grom is cheap brand new and gets consistently above 100 mpg.
Came here to say the same. Keyless works as you have the phone/key in your pocket but fingerprint is a ridiculous idea. Spot the guy who doesn't actually ride much and definitely not in colder weather.
I have a couple of electric China made mopeds. With a range of about 40 kilometers and a top speed of around 30kph they are more than adequate for running errands. They don't have all the bells and whistles that Miku offers, but at $300 each they are a bargain. The led acid batteries start to degrade after a little over a year, but can be replaced (DIY) for about $85. It is easy to add an after market tail box for plenty of storage, combined with the included front basket. Chargers are not water proof and max charging times are close to 8 hours. Where I live, a driver's license is not required, because they are classified the same as a bicycle. I wouldn't think of taking one out on the open highway, but for zipping around town they are as safe as riding a bicycle, if you ignore their faster speeds.
Honestly if it just did 60mph so you could comfortably use a dual carriageway this would be perfect. Guess will have to wait for the big 4 to catch up!
If he said $3.5k like I thought he said I guessed the price right. I was saying that in my head that it’s probably around there. I don’t understand why scooters are over $1.5k though. But that bike is dope though I like it a lot.
Many new bikes auto cancel their indicators after a certain distance travelled or time elapsed, so you're not driving around permanently with them on. -RR
Looks like my brother is bored…. What is the point ??? A fingerprint electric scooter 😂😂. We want horsepower! A lot of couples! A lot of cylinders 😂😂😂. Good job as usual
Looks like too much of a faff the charging side of things. Would love to see a review of the electric scooters made by Stirling based on the Highway near St Katherines Dock they look really good with a range of over 100 miles.
I don't know about this one, Rory... If we're talking about how it compared to a regular scooter then it's not that great tbh. The charging situation is a faff and there's little practicality considering how some scooter has a big compartment that can hold a regular bike helmet.
So Rory is a fantastic presenter and reviewer, and this is more proof of that. But there's a point in every video where I'm watching and think to myself... "What if Mark Dennis showed up right now?" XD

If using your fingerprint is the only way to unlock this bike, your going to have a problem, unless you only ever ride this short distances in the dry. Have you tried to unlock your phone with a wet finger or when you are frozen to the bone as it don't work.
There's a LOT of really big downsides to this bike, it's more of an expensive toy than a proper scooter. It's not even close to quick either, what a shame.
I've ridden this and it's brilliant. Great fun and a great town rider but also enough to get you around rural areas. Sure, you wouldn't want to sit on a motorway with it...
I don't understand why you think keyless start is not enough. I also don't understand how a fingerprint starter makes sense on a vehicle that in theory you're supposed to use gloves while using. Seems to me like a liability nightmare as it's encouraging people to not use safety gear.
@@fergar0206 the fingerprint scanner it's a nice safety feature on a car if someone tries to steal it. On this scooter removes the need of a key to use it. If you wear or not gloves after you unlock it that is something totally different
Omg that charging system is ridiculous, until it's easy to charge up it's just not worth the hassle. Plus a petrol scooter is amazing on fuel anyway. Concept might work eventually.
Is there an artificial noise generated to warn other road users? If not then why is this legal? Imagine waiting at a blind junction and this comes flying around the corner. Or trying to cross a road on foot and it comes out of nowhere. This needs to be looked at as a matter of urgency before people get hurt
@@cbrboy76 🤔...... It's as if people who are visually impaired don't exist. And whilst your looking one way good luck with the fool flying at you from the other direction. Ever driven a single track road? Never been at a blind junction? Drive often? Or get out much?
@@robsmall6466 yes, i drive about 120,000 miles per year, to just about every area of the UK and due to the nature of our work to farms, many single track roads. Now if i was blind or partially sighted i dont think i would be attempting to cross at the hazards you state, blind people usually cross at safe places like crossings, not on blind junctions or if they are lucky enough to have a guide dog, he will do his/her thing. Also most cars have had to conform to stringent moise regulations for a number of years, the chance of you hearing an normal car or EV on a blind junction is virtually nil.
@@cbrboy76 Sorry but your talking rubbish. You CAN hear a normal car at a blind junction. That's why you should stop. Wind down a window and listen. As for an EV. It depends as some are doing a better job than others. The lack of noise applies to ALL crossing points. Just look at how many near misses there are with cyclists. And now any idiot on a silent and deadly scooter will cause many injuries and deaths. But it's powered by electric so it's all good right?
@@robsmall6466 ah you have me wrong, i am not a lover of the EV, far from it, they will have to prise the keys to my petrol car from my dead hands & dont get me started on suicide scooters and the clowns who ride them but private ones are illegal to use in public so should be taken off the road. You really cant hear a modern car these days, other than tyre noise, modern EU noise and emission law has seen to that. 68 decibel's is the maximum permited for cars Which is about the same as 2 people talking, i really could not hear 2 people talking around a blind junction. Near misses between cyclists and cars are down to the riders and drivers, some car drivers are knobs and some cyclists are knobs. Some car drivers dont look for cyclists or messing about with their phones some cyclists just think they have a force field around them or think it is fine to ride whilst listening listening to music through earphones.

That paint scheme is sooo similar to the Suzuki MotoGP livery. That can't be coincidence, can it?
Lol I thought this was a Suzuki from the thumbnail
That rear suspension setup is cool , who thought that u can integrate suspension inside a swingarm 🤘🤘
My favourite part was "Ask me how I know" and the answer to that. Adventures of...
This would be an easy buy at about 1.5k.

With the fingerprint reader it's a steal. Literally, because these are easily fooled.
You've gotta want one to put up with all the negatives including the price.
Rory you the man. Absolute gent. This bike is too much faff for this modern fast world. Was growing on me
For a couple hundred more you can get the The Super73 C1X . Top Speed over 75mph and 100 mile range
ok, so how do i get it registred, titled, insured ?
@nathanaelqc5186 that bike hot delayed. Depends state to state But they give u the equivalent of a vin number
Maybe next you can do a review on Super Soco Cu mini. Would love that!
Seemed really cool but the process of charging it was way too complex for me to consider getting this
great to see more electric motorcycle reviews.
Great review as usual love the bike and the design of the rear suspension!
Oh shoot, you're a fellow Bedfordshireian!

Means cheapskates like me who don't need to go far can snap this up dirt cheap. Perfect.
The SEAT mó and Silent both have reverse gear and a better removable battery solution. Also, storage is poor for the market this would be aimed at surely.
Cool little bike with a few drawbacks. First being that price which is equivalent to around $7k here in New Zealand.
Colours of a Suzuki GSX and the looks of a Ducati996… I’ll have one please
Fingerprint start? That'll work well in the rain.
'Which my bottom has sat on' epic man
Thank you for an honest review I’ll pass on this one
Looks awesome, I have never ridden but getting a petrol bike seems pointless to me
This would be a great commuter like Rory said
Good concept but they screw it with the charging. Why not use the standard plug for cars? Why not storage capacity for the charger? Why not water resistant charger? All screams bad engineering. And you don’t want that on an electric vehicle.
Can you ride it on a B category car licence in the UK?
Seems like the electric take on a Honda grom. If it had more range, then it would be definitely something looking into. At it’s given price and the competition from those like the grom, it doesn’t make sense for a commuter, especially when the grom is cheap brand new and gets consistently above 100 mpg.
I was about to say you pulled the batteries out 🤣🤣👍🏾
Fingerprint on a bike is a bit silly!
You always have to start it before you put your gloves on.

Wonder how it would work in the rain?

It looks like an electronic honda grom. Nearly every motorcycle has non self canceling turn signals.
I have a couple of electric China made mopeds. With a range of about 40 kilometers and a top speed of around 30kph they are more than adequate for running errands. They don't have all the bells and whistles that Miku offers, but at $300 each they are a bargain. The led acid batteries start to degrade after a little over a year, but can be replaced (DIY) for about $85.

I wouldn't think of taking one out on the open highway, but for zipping around town they are as safe as riding a bicycle, if you ignore their faster speeds.
I’m only interested in the one that has had his bottom on it, not another brand new identical one.
Could you do a review on a road legal Sur Ron light bee please
could you review the standard Super Soco TC next?
Not to be confused with the faster TC-Max model that's belt-driven.
Nice review. Got some good info on this bike...
No Miku for me then. To many drawbacks for me to even consider this one..
Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪🤘😎🤙🇸🇪
Why is this only limited to the UK. Remember lots of your subscribers are not based in the UK. This ain’t fair 😭
You guys get all the cool stuff
wow man, i'm new. subbed to you. super cool lil bike!
Honestly if it just did 60mph so you could comfortably use a dual carriageway this would be perfect. Guess will have to wait for the big 4 to catch up!
How did you get the app to work ? 🤣mine doesn't have uk to the register.
The real problem with the super short range is it's "anti-fun"... In that you'll love riding this, but can't take it anywhere on the weekend.
Gotta agree with that statement when it comes to electric scooters/motorbikes!
@@fetchstixRHD I own a Zero SR. It's absolutely a blast to ride... around town... and nowhere else...
Miku.. blue.. totally know what the designers went for lol
This would be great for my daily.
If you don't have a CBT (yet) but know someone who can ride it or transport it in a van, can you still enter to win?
Haha… I have enough problems with my bloody phone saying “fingerprint not recognised” 😂
If he said $3.5k like I thought he said I guessed the price right. I was saying that in my head that it’s probably around there. I don’t understand why scooters are over $1.5k though. But that bike is dope though I like it a lot.
I'm a biker myself and bikes don't have automatic cancellation of the indicators as you have to manually switch off
Many new bikes auto cancel their indicators after a certain distance travelled or time elapsed, so you're not driving around permanently with them on. -RR
But most bikes have push to cancel. This one appears to only slide left or right and may be difficult to cancel wearing gloves.
Looks like my brother is bored…. What is the point ??? A fingerprint electric scooter 😂😂. We want horsepower! A lot of couples! A lot of cylinders 😂😂😂. Good job as usual
Is it available in the us?
I'd rather spend more money and go for a Silence S01 instead. The slide-out battery, range and performance are all better.
Looks like too much of a faff the charging side of things.
Would love to see a review of the electric scooters made by Stirling based on the Highway near St Katherines Dock they look really good with a range of over 100 miles.

Rory, can you connect with the company VERGE and see their new motorcycle?
Looks resemble Husqvarna 250/400cc bikes... mainly the tank
Great video mate 👌
the cost of replacement batteries makes them expensive toys?
Hey Rory! Take care of my bike!!!
if there was some kind of giveaway and I won this scooter I would consider it ..... wait a second
The Seat mo / silence s01 has had reverse for ages and the BMW bikes did
So Rory is a fantastic presenter and reviewer, and this is more proof of that.
But there's a point in every video where I'm watching and think to myself... "What if Mark Dennis showed up right now?" XD
He wont turn up, hes 100 miles away.
I was waiting for this one
I can already see the local youth, driving this in reverse down the street ,to show off to mates and baffle onlookers.
I'm a biker. That looks pretty cool.
Where can I buy one
More bikes please!
Needs self cancelling or a rocker switch
i love it sooo sooo much nd i love ur show it make me happy
So basically - not as good as the silence S01?
Charge while driving is the best.
I like bikes and scooter espesaly electric ones
I'll take it provided that you will ship it to me in the states
well. you hav to check out the johammer j1....
