    2021 UPDATE: I’m still riding this scooter almost every day. 550 miles in. I was hit head on, while riding my Dualtron 8 months ago. (See that video for details) I still LOVE this scooter. Max speed is around 25-26mph still. Rear fender has given me issues so make sure you are tightening yours if it gets loose.

      justin h not yet. I’m sitting around 600 miles. I can get another 200 miles prob on this tire. I replaced both of them on my Dualtron, though the Speedway is a solid. I have heard, solid rear tires can be difficult. Let me know please!? :)

      Salah Oso claims 30miles a charge, but like most escooters it’s around half that, if you are going fast all the time. And remember most people don’t go a longer ride than 15 miles in a single ride or day, so if you can charge every day you shouldn’t have a problem.

    If you have a price point of a $1000 this is scooter worth considering. When searching for this scooter make sure its through minimotors website. Overall I would rank this scooter for the price 9/10. If you have recently ridden a public rentable e-scooter from bird, lime, uber, etc, those are about a $450 scooter. So for a little more than double the price you get this scooter. They claim 28mph but Ive been at a solid 26 tops since I purchased it. That why im not ranking this a 9/10. It feels like a solid build. The only thing that concerns me is the 4 screws that hold the stem to the base, I have seen with the cheaper scooters that this connection can be a problem, but im not showing any negative signs 250 miles in. Ive read negative opinions on the braking system, but I i have the PA setting at 5. (2:32 min mark) I had never thought the brake was underpowered. (DISCLAIMER Ive ridden sport-bikes since I was 16, so 25mph never really feels fast to me.) Torque is mostly in the mid-range of the scooter. 10-20 is quick. Ive went 32 mph down a hill. Its a bit loud, if you are on a really steep hill, but it will pull you up. (those $450 dollars will not) The Eye2 controller is great and easy to use. Not sure if i like the solid rear tire, still debating. Over all if you are wanting a quick and fairly light scooter for commuting 1-5 miles each way this is perfect. If you are after a "need for speed", you may pass on this one. The other scooter i was looking into was the Wide Wheel Dual Motor, but the key turned me off. Also the company at the time was still establishing itself in the "quicker" market. That being said there is no key, so always bring a U-Lock and never leave it anywhere over night!

    Does the stem wobble a little if you move it forward and back my Emove Touring which is basically an upgraded version of this has this play in the stem which annoys me apparently it's normal but how lol

    • @kpresnell45
      @kpresnell45  4 года назад

      THE W4RRIOR5 CODE The stem at the locking mechanism wiggles slightly forward and backwards. Specifically at the locking pin. I could negate this by wrapping each side of the locking pin with a little bit of electrical tape. While riding at speed I Don’t notice any wobble at all. So to answer your question the wobble is not in the stem. My Dualtron three stem is independent from the base and if not locked down tight enough can wiggle. Wiggle is “normal” they say, but if you feel it at over like 5mph that ISNT normal.

    • @thew4rrior5code

      kpresnell45 yes that's what I've got from the locking mechanism up or locking pin up there's a slight wiggle forward/back but since I've only had it a few days and only been out on it once can't say I noticed while cruising at 20+mph but it got me thinking I hope this doesn't go while riding!

      Its not a bad scooter and I haven't got to ride one yet. They share alot of the same features including, same folding handle bars, similar eye throttle, solid rear tire, and front suspension. But is it better? I disagree. Mini 4 has better top speed, longer range, easier main stem folding (an issue with the zero 9), lighter, $50 cheaper, and great USA customer service. Zero 9 has dual brakes, which the Mini is lacking and probably a better rear suspension. Overall they are very similar. Put your money with MiniMotors.

      - Zero 9 have two 8.5" Tube tyres with hydraulic rear suspension = much comfort. And 2 brakes (1 disk) are way superior for to stop you than a single drum brake.

    Does the handlebars slowly drop down throughout a ride due to road vibrations, rider weight stress, and mere gravity like my Zero 8? I found that just using the provided clamp is not enough. It'd be great if these adjustable handlebar height stems have preset holes so this doesn't happen for greater durability and safety

      @@LJL98 I wish I remember the site I found the research on. The argument was: Biking takes more energy than a slow walk, but a slow walk still burn calories. Replace the 2 mile walk with an escooter, they were claiming that the "energy" used to recharge the scooter after a ride is less "energy" than a human need to recharge. Food requires a store, gas to get people to and from the store, gas to get food to the store, not to mention the energy required to make refined oil. (also the same argument can be used for making batteries) but an escooter burns LESS human calories , and trickle charges to a full battery (low amp) from your house, so it more self contained. IDK, but I like the study.
