Spoke to a few people on Reddit. Some have tried the KS A5-RR1 air shock. It's eye to eye distance is 125 mm. So you're losing about 10 mm if ground clearance. Haven't been able to find much in the 140 mm size. And those I did use a trunnion mount which won't work with the 8x.
I did see some 125mm as well but I didn’t like the idea of losing that much travel. I didn’t think there would be that big of a difference with the 10x and 8x rear end but....lesson learned! I like the feel of the stock shock I just like the look of the air shock. I think it fits the look better. Maybe on my next scooter I’ll be able to retrofit some air shocks. Thanks again!
Hey cool video I saw a video with it working properly hope you eventually got it worked out. Now I have vsett 8 can you change your back tire? To a off road tire? Tubeless? Or you just have to stay solid
you can fit that one..remove air on positive side then add air on the negative side..it will shorten, just align it to the holes..after mounting..add air to the positive side according to your desired compression
Another awesome video! So did your shock go bad or did you just want to change it out to try something new? Camera work on that rear shock and wheel is outstanding. Great view of the operation of the shock & spring yet the cam was steady as can be. Love the anodized arm assemblies. Weather getting warmer let’s ride again Nathan...Time to get you rolling on an EUC!
Donkey D thank you!! I was really just looking to make the upgrade. I like the looks of the air shocks better but if I could only get one to fit the rear I would prefer they be uniform. One person told me the difference on their 10x was night and day after they added the air shock. Like I said in the video I didn’t think the current shocks were lacking but if it was that big a difference, I wanted to see what I was missing out on. Yes! Let’s do it again.....but not when it’s in the 40s! Haha.
Just cleaned all the mud off the 10x. Ready anytime just let me know...Hey Gotway just came out with a new EUC I think will be my next purchase. The MSX pro coming out this spring. 19” wheel 1800Wh LG batteries 100 volt & 2400 watt motor? Insane speed! Wife will be getting a life insurance policy on me soon I’m sure. Cheers 😎👍
Donkey D 1800 watts?!?!? Holy cow!! One thing is for certain.....they aren’t gonna make them any slower moving forward! 😂 Full motorcycle gear when riding that thing!
A Day in the Life of Mr. 23 - indeed. I got a full face helmet. It’s the battery that is 1800 watt hours the motor I believe is 2400w. 40mph+ Its like standing on a magic carpet. Can’t wait till spring.
I did the same thing,,changed out the back end shock but the site shock didn't work as well as I thought,,I re-installed the coil shock but I ordered the shock adjustment wrench off of Ali-express and was able to fine tune both front and back and what a difference it made,,I have the 10x and the lesson was,,stick with what suspension system it came with and do minor tweaking to get the best ride feel..cheers.
Weped Rider I believe you are right! I haven’t really messed around with the current shocks at all but I might see about the front ones. Sometimes with the solid tire and bigger bumps it’s a little rough!
Goran Vego I did briefly consider that but I think the amount you would need to compress them would take away from their available travel. I think you would end up bottoming out the shocks often. I believe the shocks have 38mm of travel and the difference from eye to eye on the shock is about 30mm. You could get them to fit on but I don’t think you would like the performance if you did. 😔 But some others have commented about different shocks they’ve used so I may give that a go one of these days. Thanks!
Goran Vego someone else commented and said they did use that same shock in the 125 and it did work. I can’t speak from experience but it appears the 125 will work. Just so random that they would choose a size that isn’t really typical and really hard to replace.
First rate video! I was also considering this upgrade...zero rider knows a lot about this but he's in French.. don't give up there must be a solution! Hope the powder coat went well, I was sceptical about the vinyl. Thanks happy trails
Thank you!! Another person commented and said 135mm. Which makes sense but for the life of me I can’t find an air shock that is 135mm. Powder coating so far is holding up way better than the vinyl. First ride with the vinyl and I got some serious rock chips. I will have to check out some of their videos tho. Thanks for the comment!
was looking at the air shocks from falconpev. personally I'd prefer a progressive rate coil over shock but they are hard to find in 165mm and 140mm. I have a zero 10x 60v hydraulic brake version, with off road tires, upgraded stem clamp and Kwheels steering dampener. shes a beast
Sounds like a beast indeed! I really like the looks of the air shock. But I agree about the coil over performance. How are the off road tires on the street?
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 they are decent. noisier and less responsive and alittle less stable when you really lean it down on road Corning but really bite offroad. since I ride about 50/50 on road vs off road. they are great. some people even like the extra tire noise to alert people on the roads. highly recommend a steering damper. its night amd day
Thanks for getting back to me. That’s good to know. I typically ride street so if it were an option for me I probably wouldn’t. But I was curious about that.
Yeah that was a little disappointing. I was able to sell the shock on eBay for about what I paid for it so it wasn’t a total loss. 🤷🏻♂️ Appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, my fronts are pretty stiff. I really haven’t messed around with adjusting them too much. Would be interesting to see how much that could make a difference loosening that one up.
MrWaz411 I’m not totally sure the exact amount of power it reduces but it feels like it cuts about 50% of the power to the motors. That’s actually a pretty good idea for a video. I’ll get something like that worked up next few days....I’ll show the top speed in each gear and dual motor with and without turbo. I don’t typically ride without it being in dual motor with turbo on. I believe it’s there to increase range if you are in a pinch but it absolutely takes the fun out of it when you reduce the power. Thanks for the comment and the idea for a new video!
Hi bro . whether the front and back shock are the same size 133.5 mm? I planning to buy air shock brand exa form 125mm do you think can fit to our zero 8x?
herbert leo I think it will fit but you will lose about 10mm of travel in them. I don’t know if that will be worth the loss to change them. But I’m not too sure.
wheillebhertt-jan montalbeu hello! Yes, they are adjustable. I haven’t found the need to mess with them. The stock shocks aren’t terrible at all. But there definitely is some room to adjust both the front and back. Just 1 nut to adjust them. Thanks!
I was hoping someone would watch this who has made the upgrade! Thanks for the info. I am going to mess around with the stock shocks and loosen the spring and see what kind of difference it makes. Hydraulic brakes are the next upgrade. Then I might come back to the shocks. Really appreciate the info on the shocks tho!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 Hi I have z8x I'm french. both shocks are 135mm. I put air shock KS A5 RE 125mm, it's good 130-140 PSI, i love arms in black and want the same ! Is it powder epoxy paint?
Ben Co thanks for the info. I was a little worried with the 125mm that there wouldn’t be enough travel since they are 10mm shorter than stock but that’s good to know! The arms are powder coated. The process involves the parts being sand blasted to remove all dirt and debris. The powder is electrically charged to bond to the surface and then its baked in an oven to adhere and cure to the surface. It was pretty cheap to have done locally, I paid about 70 bucks for the arms and stem collar. I’m no good at French, but here’s my best....... Merci d’avoir regardé! 😊
Well originally I reached out to Falcon PEV which is one of the main companies selling these overseas and they said the 165 was the one to use. After the fact of all this I didn’t really feel like the stock shocks were bad enough that this was a needed upgrade. I sorta just lost my motivation after it failed. I can’t say if the 150s will fit for sure but it could be an option. Thanks for the comment!
A Day in the Life of Mr. 23 yeah the shocks are not bad.. but I’m hoping for better? 😅 I kinda feel cracks and bumps in the road.. to bad the tires are airless and no upgrade possible.. I think that would make the ride perfect! Really like your video’s tho! You give me the idea to swap my foldable handlebars with my bike’s! Love the upgrade! 👌 feels and looks much better. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
They make a 152mm length which is what I'm going to get. They should have given you more than just the model number, but also the length to buy. Also with these air shocks, you gotta get the air pump for it. Let the air out of the shock so you can get it on the scooter, then increase the air pressure to the pressure you need
I did get the pair pump for it too. But I would have lost so much travel in the shocks that I got because they weren’t the right length. I really liked the idea of them but I don’t hate the stock shocks. Hopefully it works out better for you. Let me know how it works out! Thanks!
Hey there! You got it! I bought them a few months ago but just haven’t actually installed them. I’ll be doing that this week or next and will be sure to post a video for you! Thanks again
Greentruth420 good to know. I sorta just liked the looks of the air shocks but I’ve basically come to the conclusion I will be sticking with the stock ones. They aren’t terrible at all.
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23change 10x or 11x Front and Rear Arm look can ok to install air shock ebikescooter.com/product/front-and-rear-arm-for-speedual-mini-plus-and-zero-8x-10x-11x-electric-scooter-original-spare-parts-fork-rocker-arm/
Hello Mr. 23, First of all, great video, really deep in detail and accurate with a camera shots, steady and smooth. Quick question, what did you used to paint your suspension arms to that mat black color like that and how have you done it? Do you have a link for the product used please? I would like to do something same on my zero 10x from the standard red. Also, what are those light on you have on both side of the scooter by the kick stand? Would you be able to do a video about it and how to install and what are they for?
You’re too observant! 😊 I got the lights on the side installed but haven’t wired them up. They are emergency strobes. I wanted to have them because the trail I take to and from work and also to and from the charger for my car I have had some close calls with smaller animals......skunks, squirrels, and even a deer! So I’m hoping the strobes with scare them off when they see me coming. I will absolutely do a video for you. I kinda got caught between projects with having to take the arms to the shop to get them powder coated and being able to finish the wiring for the side lights. The arms I used a local company to powder coat them. It is something you can do yourself but the cost to get all the materials was about the same to have someone do it professionally. So I saved myself the headache and paid someone 65 bucks to powder coat the arms along with the stem collar. Vinyl works good too but just isn’t gonna be a long term solution. Plasti dip could be an alternative too. That would be a very cheap alternative but the longevity would be my only concern with plasti dip. Thanks again for watching and the comments!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 Maaan, I thought you have used something like a spray paint, doing a multiple coats and would of been able to recommend me the one to use it. Definitely agree that is better to pain the arms off that use the vinyl or the plastic, plus it's easier to clean them off from the mood. Will wait your next video as they are awesome and maybe see some ideas I can implement to my Zero 10x. Also just a quick one, where did you mount your GoPro/account camera usually on your scooter and how are u fix it there, what mount?
HolidayCountdown I used the rear foot step and the mount I used has a clamp and is adjustable all around so it makes it pretty universal for most application. I was a little worried the arm wouldn’t keep the camera steady enough but paired with the stabilization on the GoPro I really pleased with how the footage turned out. I’m absolutely obsessed with this scooter so I can guarantee I’ll be adding more bits here and there. Really appreciate the support!
Yes, it will work for the 10x. Even though they look similar the suspension on the 10x is bigger. Makes sense though since the tires are 2” larger on the 10x, just was really hoping I could try it out. The smallest shocks I can find are 125mm or 150mm. 125 I fear will be too small and won’t have enough travel. The 150 I’m also afraid might be too big. One other video I’ve seen a person was able to use a 145mm for the front shock on their 10x. But for the life of me I can’t seem to locate a shock that size. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
That’s what I get for not verifying it myself. I just figured by asking they would know for sure. But it’s ok. How do you like the 11x?? What’s been your top speed?
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 lol yeah they'll tell u anything to make a sell, 11x has been great so far I hit 55 on gps and ran out of road 😀 im only 135lb so I feel I can achieve 60 with the proper road, really stable I also added a damper lol
Definitely found out the hard way. I did reach out to falcon PEV who sells the shock and they did say it would work on the 8X....but it absolutely doesn’t. Haha. Thanks for the comment!
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. I could do that but the issue would be the shock can’t fully extend so I would lose a lot of the functionality of the shock. So for sure that would work to make it fit but the shock wouldn’t perform as well. Thanks again!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 did u know u can order a zero 11x from titan group manufacturer off alibaba that sells the scooters to zero and all the other manufacturers for a fraction of the cost to my country it costs 2500$ with shipping
@@Maykay1312 I have seen other scooters on sites like that for a lot cheaper as well. That should be a lot of fun. I’ve been looking at the 11x for a while! That thing is a beast!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 ye same only thing is u can find it for a lot cheaper but its not just worth it ur gona lose money in the long run getting a better battery because the cheaper models of the 11x have a chineze battery and its probably not gona be any good and the only one i looked at is original 72v 32ah lg battery i just need to get some money so i can order it off alibaba cant wait
@@Maykay1312 I know what you mean! These things are super fun. You gotta let me know when you get yours. The price tag on the 11x is definitely pretty steep but seems well worth it for the performance you get
Hey lil bro. Bought another 50lb scooter 800w. Its a beast in its own right. Probably going to be my daily rider. Still love my 8x but I was wondering is there anyway to adjust the suspension? I feel like its to tough/tight. You really feel it when going on cobblestone and such.
That’s legit! I’ve been considering getting something too like a skateboard or something not so dang heavy. There is a way to adjust the 8x. The nut that sits on top of the spring. You’ll see there are threads on that. Just tighten or loosen that bit there and it will adjust the ride. 👍🏼
have you tried releasing air on the shocks first to shorten it?
I did buy an air shock pump just so I could release some air and pump it back up but I couldn’t get it to work. 😔

Will wait your next video as they are awesome and maybe see some ideas I can implement to my Zero 10x.
Also just a quick one, where did you mount your GoPro/account camera usually on your scooter and how are u fix it there, what mount?
HolidayCountdown I used the rear foot step and the mount I used has a clamp and is adjustable all around so it makes it pretty universal for most application. I was a little worried the arm wouldn’t keep the camera steady enough but paired with the stabilization on the GoPro I really pleased with how the footage turned out.
I’m absolutely obsessed with this scooter so I can guarantee I’ll be adding more bits here and there. Really appreciate the support!

For the 10 X you can get air shock
Yes, it will work for the 10x. Even though they look similar the suspension on the 10x is bigger. Makes sense though since the tires are 2” larger on the 10x, just was really hoping I could try it out. The smallest shocks I can find are 125mm or 150mm. 125 I fear will be too small and won’t have enough travel. The 150 I’m also afraid might be too big. One other video I’ve seen a person was able to use a 145mm for the front shock on their 10x. But for the life of me I can’t seem to locate a shock that size.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I replaced my 11x with 165mm airshocks, 8x would.def.be way too small for 165 lol
That’s what I get for not verifying it myself. I just figured by asking they would know for sure. But it’s ok. How do you like the 11x?? What’s been your top speed?
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 lol yeah they'll tell u anything to make a sell, 11x has been great so far I hit 55 on gps and ran out of road 😀 im only 135lb so I feel I can achieve 60 with the proper road, really stable I also added a damper lol
That’s incredible! That thing is seriously a beast!
that's the shock for the zero 10x. it has 165mm rear shock and 140mm front shock
Definitely found out the hard way. I did reach out to falcon PEV who sells the shock and they did say it would work on the 8X....but it absolutely doesn’t. Haha. Thanks for the comment!
Take your own measure .always
Jean-marie fait tout you’re right, lesson learned for sure. Thanks for watching!
? Coudent u let the air out of the shock and bam ur good u can fit it together
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. I could do that but the issue would be the shock can’t fully extend so I would lose a lot of the functionality of the shock. So for sure that would work to make it fit but the shock wouldn’t perform as well. Thanks again!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 did u know u can order a zero 11x from titan group manufacturer off alibaba that sells the scooters to zero and all the other manufacturers for a fraction of the cost to my country it costs 2500$ with shipping
@@Maykay1312 I have seen other scooters on sites like that for a lot cheaper as well. That should be a lot of fun. I’ve been looking at the 11x for a while! That thing is a beast!
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 ye same only thing is u can find it for a lot cheaper but its not just worth it ur gona lose money in the long run getting a better battery because the cheaper models of the 11x have a chineze battery and its probably not gona be any good and the only one i looked at is original 72v 32ah lg battery i just need to get some money so i can order it off alibaba cant wait
@@Maykay1312 I know what you mean! These things are super fun. You gotta let me know when you get yours. The price tag on the 11x is definitely pretty steep but seems well worth it for the performance you get
8x front & rear is 135mm，10x front 135mm , rear 165mm
Just finding a 135mm is the problem. 😩
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 rockshox have 145mm , SENQI have 135mm
Kin Man Chuk thanks for that! I’ll take a look at those brands. Have you used either?
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 No, I just bought zero 8x
Kin Man Chuk very cool! I will definitely consider those options though. I was able to find them on amazon too. Thanks again for the comment!
So they didn't recommend what u needed? Is their fault lol they don't even know the product lol
Yeah it was disappointing for sure. But the shocks on the 8X aren’t terrible so I don’t know if it’s needed. 🤷🏻♂️ thanks for watching
@@ADayintheLifeofMr23 got a 10x here. Happy to watch your videos and discover more about the product. I need to get that new clamp ASAP
Hey lil bro. Bought another 50lb scooter 800w. Its a beast in its own right. Probably going to be my daily rider. Still love my 8x but I was wondering is there anyway to adjust the suspension? I feel like its to tough/tight. You really feel it when going on cobblestone and such.
That’s legit! I’ve been considering getting something too like a skateboard or something not so dang heavy. There is a way to adjust the 8x. The nut that sits on top of the spring. You’ll see there are threads on that. Just tighten or loosen that bit there and it will adjust the ride. 👍🏼
Thanks bro.You should do a VIDEO. I think it would be a hit! Check out the specs on my other scooter. Its a JOYOR Y9. I LOVE IT!!
