The govt needs to sort its shit out where these are concerned. No other vehicle is restricted or illegal in the same way, so why these are outlawed is beyond me. Cool bit of kit though 😄
The more people on economical green friendly electric scooters the more money the government lose in driving offences, speeding offences , drink drive offences , parking offences , driving without due care or attention offences , driving without tax, insurance, MOT even a license , it all perfectly makes sense why they don't allow the greener way to travel it's all about the 💰💰💰💰💰
2026 the rental scooter trials have been extended to apparently so we are way off legislation and there will be strict low limits on speed and motor power likely 500 watt max and 15.5mph. Not enough power for heavier riders on hills in my view
I drive mine to work in London. Met were told to stop harassing users of them . Only if I say hit a child, and I have a driving licence, then I'd get points on my license , maybe even lose it . But highly unlikely
Rating: 1/10 I purchased the Air Pure scooter from the Pure Electric website on 17/02/2024. Overall, the scooter is of good quality, with a very comfortable riding position and excellent maneuverability in urban environments. However, some components, like the throttle, are of mediocre quality; I’ve already had to replace it at my own expense. The real issue lies with the after-sales service. I use this scooter daily and have covered 1600 km in six months, which is typical for this kind of usage. Unfortunately, as often happens, parts can break. However, the parts used by Pure Electric are unique, and it’s impossible to find replacements elsewhere. Worse still, their customer service is simply non-existent. In mid-July, I broke a small but crucial part, rendering the scooter unusable. Since then, I’ve been trying for over a month to contact their after-sales service via email and phone, without any response. Therefore, despite a good riding experience, I strongly advise against purchasing a Pure Electric scooter due to their completely absent customer support.
Just a quick correction: I've got one of these - it's IP65-rated, which means it's effectively waterproof. Battery and motor electrics are sealed against water so you can drive it through deep puddles and it'll be no problem. Plus their 24-month warranty actually covers any water ingress - no other scooter covers that! I use it in Amsterdam rains and (small) floods and it works a treat (I also wear a helmet; the police appear to look the other way.. )
All scooters should be 100% water proof. It's bad engineering and cutting corners to maximize profits that allows for water to enter into vital parts that could fail under heavy rain fall. Lame is what I call it if they fail in the conditions you mentioned.
Good morning! I've been using this scooter for about 4 months now, commuting daily from my place to work or to a friend's house several kilometers away. It handles well in the rain and feels quite stable, but I do wish it had some cushioning. Also, I wouldn't recommend using a scooter with this type of folding mechanism if you're planning to ride on dirt roads-it tends to catch branches and debris in the hinge. Aside from that, I'm really pleased with it and find it to be very reliable.
Hello, I wanted to ask about the footrests. Did you ever have them touch the ground when taking a tight turn? I'm considering buying this as it seems much more stable than the classic "2 feet on one big rest" scooter, but I'm a bit concerned about this
Do you not find the handle bars too short? I’m 5.4 and it seems so small compared to the other pure scooters I’ve had I’m literally crouching? I’ve had a different pure scooter which is abit older than this one and found that one much better faster and better at climbing hills really disappointed with this one :/
@@darkevilpt5306 please dont my whole scooter is broken from removing the speed limiter it will damge the hall sensor (error 18) also damges the controller
Hey Pal.. Your Black Staffie reminds me of my late Coco. She was a rescue dog and I loved her until I had to have her put down. She was a brilliant dog and I used to walk her for miles and miles and she would keep up. She also had a white patch underneath in the same spot too. I believe the breed is called VIXEN TEMPTRESS. There you go. I am not keen on this scooter. Think it's just a little above average for the price range. Could get better
Well living in Swansea it's all hilly so I've swapped to an Ebike so I can pedal when going uphill. Scooters will work but you end up going very slow on steep hills
Ok can someone please Clarify….i wanna buy a scooter to travel around town to and from gym and on the tube….i see people using scooters but then some say they are illegal???
Ya be wise to use a Bash Hat & gloves as minimal with that dude...!✔️💯 I hit a slab edge riding a hard tyred push Scooter, a few years back & somersaulted, was abit bloody but survived it... Was going over London Bridge of all places...!😄🙄🤣 Two people stopped to help scrape me up off the pavement & patch me up...!🙂🙏💕 A guy going down a local road near me on electric scooter wasn't so lucky, he hit a rut or hole & then he hit the road...😐 Game Over...😔 There are also many off road versions, chunky tyres & suspension worth considering depending on local surfaces... & good brakes R top of the list...👍 Stay safe & enjoy...!👊
Yeah, it is a bit bizarre with the legality, I think the main issue is that only pedal assistance is allowed on ebikes, no throttles allowed. Still makes no sense though, outdated law that does not really fit now 😅
I'd like to have a escooter but sod's law follows me everywhere so I'm likely to get pulled over by the police and get it taken away lol. I can wait for it to get legalised one day and hope they can use the cycle lanes cos as you say, I've also seen cyclists overtake some of the escooter riders.
It's absolutely pathetic and mindboggling that the government don't allow electric scooters yet allow electric folding bikes , i just can't wrap my head around this cluster fuck of a country we live In..
oh so this is the little scooter you was saying you had yes looks good and there handy to get you from a to b mine surposed to do 50 mph but i get about 45 mph and 30 miles range when they say 50 lol yes never believe what manufacturers say lol check mine out i have done a wild camp up ashhurst beacon in the west lancashire on mine and its on my channel give you a laugh oh and i still havn,t done a review on mine and i got 3 now lol and mine has keys and its alarmed
yes it is when your on a scooter mate but be fare it is stable as mate but i have rode superbikes most of my life mate so its nothing adam as you will see on my youtube @@MrWildWales 🙂
Electric scooters are illegal in the uk they can only be used on your own private land and you can be prosecuted under dangerous driving laws including fines and points in your license. At some point these need to be made legal with insurance and tax and a license to use them as a great way to travel green.
@@MrWildWales only within a set radius of the hire points but a lot of these are now expiring or ending as government trials are ending. It concerns me that kids and grown ups fly around main roads with no road sense, training, license or insurance but this is changing. Also serious safety issues with the batteries so they might end up banned yet China have had over a 100 fires this past few weeks all related to these batteries 😳🙄👍
@@MrWildWales why do you think skateboarding, surfing have back feet positioned perpendicular to the board. Greater control and balance . Standing face forward. You’re asking to kiss the tarmac under hard breaking . Guarantee you, they didn’t do any research and development with this design. Some idiot thought it look cool and they start mass producing it. I’ve got the gen 2. The latch on folding mechanism is super poor quality and becomes loose constantly during riding. These pure screws are just death traps.
You cant even stand on this "scooter" properly at all, not recommended! Must be a pain to lean forward and back when accelerating and braking. Horrible design, sry just facts!
@@MrWildWales and i am pretty sure when i upgrade to a proper scooter with definitely crazy acceleration (so 2x2000W at absolut least), it would be even a worse idea to stand like that on a scooter

Welcome back Mr. Wild Wales! I need to see you incorporate this new toy into a camping trip. Bike-packing becomes scooter-packing!
Hi there! Sounds like a good idea that!
Quick and straight to the point, I appreciate that
I don't muck about 😆 cheers

But daft isn't it? Hopefully it will change soon as they are good economical transport

Thanks for the comment. My handlebars don't seem to want to fold anymore! Maybe something has got stuck in them
Hello, I wanted to ask about the footrests.
Did you ever have them touch the ground when taking a tight turn?
I'm considering buying this as it seems much more stable than the classic "2 feet on one big rest" scooter, but I'm a bit concerned about this
Didn't have any trouble with that myself 💪
@@MrWildWales Thanks for your answer
Thanks for your nice review. Looks really good and very useful. No room for your dog ????
Cheers unfortunately no room for her but she enjoys a run
Is the charger supposed to make a high pitched noise?
Hmm mine is pretty quiet you can hear it a little though
Nope, you should record a video and contact them. I had the same problem with mine.
Do you not find the handle bars too short? I’m 5.4 and it seems so small compared to the other pure scooters I’ve had I’m literally crouching? I’ve had a different pure scooter which is abit older than this one and found that one much better faster and better at climbing hills really disappointed with this one :/
Well I've got pretty long arms so I guess that helps. You're right it ain't great on the hills, goes down to about 8mph sometimes
Thanks for the review, got the same scooter and i find it a bit slow, is there any way to make it faster?
Have you tapped it into sports mode? I find it a little slow myself though
Scootors feels fast on footpaths but slow on the road i think because they are going 3 times faster on the road
Excellent review of an excellent machine!
Thanks pal 😁🙏
How do you leave a scooter at the shops? What is 11 mph in km?
I wouldn't leave it anywhere myself. Must be a convertor online 👍
How do you set up the scooter from the beginning once it’s out of the box
Think it's just a case of turning it on. You can get an app for your phone but didn't use it myself
So max it runs is 12 mph? Same as unagi e500 which sucks xD
Hows the battery? does it lasts 7 miles too?
The max it runs is 15.5mph. I get about 12 miles out of that
@@MrWildWales exactly the same as in my unagi e500... max it peaks is 13 miles per hour... battery wise sucks.. should last longer.
@@MrWildWales Update: I finally got my unagi e500 unlocked ! Which makes it run at 18 mph ! Its amaaaaZing!
@@darkevilpt5306 please dont my whole scooter is broken from removing the speed limiter it will damge the hall sensor (error 18) also damges the controller
@@s9dfriz ive unlocked mine and fhe 18mph are amazing
Any Update on this Scooter still Fully Working no Problems??
Yep all working good though I am now selling it in favour of my new ebike. Did find it slightly sluggish up hills so appreciate the extra pedal power
@@MrWildWales how much and what’s the condition like
It's already going to someone sorry

She's been on some pretty big hikes but never stops moving doesn't know how to pace herself 😂
Would you still recommend this scooter ?
I found it a bit annoying around here with all the hills we've got but it was brilliant for flat areas
@MrWildWales did it slow down allot ?
@@Neil1454 On the uphills it's more of a jogging pace
@MrWildWales ahhh OK... we talking steep hills? Sorry for the questions but considering getting one but won't if there rubbish.
Well living in Swansea it's all hilly so I've swapped to an Ebike so I can pedal when going uphill. Scooters will work but you end up going very slow on steep hills
Ok can someone please
Clarify….i wanna buy a scooter to travel around town to and from gym and on the tube….i see people using scooters but then some say they are illegal???
I'll just say I constantly see scooters around and police ignore them
Need to see you racing nath on his bike, coming home from an afternoon at the ancient briton pub 🤣

Ouch noted mate! They aren't as stable as a bike for hitting bumps I've noticed
Yeah, it is a bit bizarre with the legality, I think the main issue is that only pedal assistance is allowed on ebikes, no throttles allowed.
Still makes no sense though, outdated law that does not really fit now 😅
Bit silly I think. I imagine they might change it soon
What's it like up hills buddy?
Not great it slows down to a jogging pace. Better for flat areas
Free to ride in the EU yeeeeeah
