I just got mine two weeks ago here in NYC. I’m flying on 5th Avenue going to work and back home to queens.
It’s solid the wide wheels give you great stability and good suspension.
Powerful total 1000 watts. Hills and bridges are no problem.
When I go to work I know I don’t have to worry about a flat tire and getting late to work.
And on my days off I go for a ride just for fun it’s a trill.
Mine is without the key I think that is unnecessary.
The baddest bat mobile looking scooter. I’m glad I got one .
I live in New York too and I think I just might jump on the wagon.. I had other scooter since 2012, I think it's time for a upgrade... what's your 1-10 on this 10 being great!
Tony Aguilar I’ll rate it at 10. I was last Thursday on the west side bike lane.
I rode it from midtown to battery park and all the way the upper west side 98 street and it was a cool feeling and a smooth ride that bike lane pavement is flat with some steep hills and curves a lot of fun some other scooters couldn’t make it I just pass next to them smiling.
And the view from the Hudson River was amazing while speeding and passing some bikes a trill ride .
For the price it’s great the only one on the price range it’s the zero 9.
The zero 9 got some led lights under the board which I can easily install on my wide wheel too with battery led so no need to open the board and solder cables. And the tires on the zero 9 can go flat and need maintenance.
That’s why I’m happy with my wide wheel pro.
If I want to purchase another scooter in the future it will be a Dualtron Thunder. It’s over 3.5 k and in another rage of scooters.
But at this moment I’m having a trill ride with my wide wheel pro while some people say it’s a cool looking scooter.
Niceee. Yea, I know the westside bike lane be super smooth.. that a long ride and it look like that pro did good on tour journeys.. think I might have to pull the trigger on this one.. the light doesn't matter to me as much, maybe just the head and brake lights. And like you said if I want bottom lights I just buy some aftermarket ones and tape them on or something. Lol.. but thanks for the feedback..
How many miles you getting on a charge ?
MX 60 by the same company looks way more like the Batmobile...
Love your reviews of the electric scooters...inspiring me to shoot better :) Loved the slow mo of jumping on the deck to show the suspension :) Legend :)
Best review i have ever seen of a scooter. I want this. The range is a beast. Althought they could invest a little bit more on style like the Unagi. But the mile range that they offer is just un elievable. Thanks for this review bro
You had me at it " it has too much power, not best scooter for beginners"
Great useful review, thanks for posting.
That little kick stand is adorable 😅🤣😂
That was kinda weird...
Great review. Two questions not about the scooter though:
1. I like your boots. Where’d you get them?
2. Where are you riding? Place looks so beautiful and chill. Thanks.
Thanks for making this video man ;) Ben watching so many others regarding the wide wheel, but it`s first now that I see that this is probly the one I want go for. Keep up the good work ^^
Look for Apollo explorer, for the price (speed, range, battery) the Apollo explorer is best! Plus you have a 2 year warrant!!!
@@Raw_Feedings Well that will work if they ship worldwide cause I`m in Europe. But atm I did go for the wide wheel seen as its my first owned electric scooter (not first experience at all) it`s a nice place to start. Maybe I`ll switch it out down the line for something different. But right now I think this will do when I mainly have asphalt roads to ride ;)
Thanks Micah, I requested and you delivered. I ordered the 15Ah version of this scooter last night and it’s supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait.
How is it?
Peter Vilhelmsson fantastic. Had it 17 days and have clocked up 447km. As soon as it’s recharged I just want to go for another blast. Serious fun and the brakes match the acceleration so weirdly it feels safer than my pretty slow poorly braking Ninebot es4.
@@basincut100 Any changes after a year? Thinking about picking one of these up in a few days, would love to hear about long term experiences
^
I just ran into one of these in my neighborhood!! I was out on my Segway GT1 and we swapped for a sample. I gotta say this scoot has great acceleration and really good suspension for its category. seems like the price is right considering range, foldability, and all-around performance!!
Ordered mine today never had a e scooter before, wanted an Apollo phantom but couldn’t justify the price considering I never rode one before so hopefully I like it for my little rides to the beer distributor and just random riding around Pittsburgh.
Still lovin my Lectric Fat Tire XP. 60 lbs and a beast on the street.
Do u have e regular bike? I bought a Vilano Diverse 3.0 hybrid bike, should I still get something electric? Lol I want an electric scooter now .. Lol
It's very nice looking especially the wheels!!!!!
The los gatos creek trail and Guadalupe River trails in San Jose, CA are getting some serious tree root bumps and cracks . More talk about how types tires and specific suspension cope at 16-26 miles per hour would be helpful going forward. I now ride daily on a juicedbike camp scrambler electric bike and want to vary it a bit with a capable (but not too expensive scooter). Thanks. Great reviews!
iv been riding push scooters since I was 3 and skate park for 10 years now and currently 24, the thing for me is I can already push 18-20 mph on a neighborhood speed radar depending on how smooth the road is (but only for 15-20 seconds) and around 10-12 mph for several minutes, and I typically ride around 5-7 miles almost everyday. my gripe about electric scooters is the weight, my skatepark scooter is only 8 1/2 lbs. So i just cant decide if getting a 3-5 kilowatt electric scooter will even be worth it for me.
Is it possible to upgrade the 2019 model with the new display/controller? I have the 2019 model and the LED display/controller is a constant source of frustration. Wish I had waited 6 months and purchased this one instead.
Man...what I would give to live in a street like that. Looks lovely.
Ps, I have a Zero 9 and was thinking of upgrading. You've now given me something to think about 👍
Dont, this scooter has such ass quality. Amazing power. Not a long lasting scooter. Went through 3. My friends went through one each. Its a scam
Hope I can buy this awesome scooter.
Good review, I'm seeing a Glarewheel ES-S11Pro for a good price, it's either a rebranded one of these with a few changes or a knock off. Would anyone know which is it? If it's rebranded I'd consider it, but I don't want to buy a cheap knock off. Googling's turning up nothing for it so I'm kind of assuming it's a weird knock off.
I wish it had a seat and an aka it’s me height hand grip.
Did you say top speed of 26 MPH ?
Do they offer a cellphone holder and basket or bad attachment for personal items and groceries ?
Just excited to think of buying 1 of the e-bike before June but have to think carefully which type is more tough for riding.👍
Lawrance Christopher this scooter it’s a trill to ride so much fun. I don’t ride my bike anymore it’s boring.
Great review! Other reviewers have said that this scooter does not takes bumps well, despite the suspension. For instance, a cobblestone street would be bone-jarring. It doesn't take curbs (even relatively small ones) very well. In general, there seems to be a consensus that this scooter is designed for well-paved roads. Would you agree?
It's the foam filled tires, better than solid, but worse than air.
Micah, please review the Swagtron Swagger 5 scooter !!!
Do the motors have brakes in them too? If so, are they activated by brake levers or just releasing throttle? Comparing to an electric skateboard which have electronic braking from the motors when you push a lever on the remote.
Good review. How do you hold this when folded? ...say going up flights of stairs
No intertubes would be a good thing no not have to deal with. However the comfort of air filled tires help with unknown road pothole.
How can i unlock to 42 kmph? Come it with that power or do i need to unlock it?
Good and honest review. Drive safe
Wow nice one!
Is it like riding a bike? Do you need balance like you need to ride a bike?
I have an older EcoRico. Is distance based on a flat run?
Is it smooth over bumps?
Im a beginner for electric scooter but I've been riding motorcycles for 10+years . Im certain its completely different animal but I thinkni should be able to handle it. I plan on buying one.
would appreciate a review on the Splach Turbo now...thanks
Thanks for your videos
I've seen these advertised with slightly different wording, still has "Mercane" and widewheel etc but with the edition of "CLE" near the rear fender....does anyone know if theses are real or clones? Maybe just slightly different for other countries?
James Read I got mine from fluidfreeride online shop it’s legit.
I got the Wide wheel Pro. Keyless version On this upgrade version they changed the logo on the board to better looking fonts. It’s almost a month since I have been using it and no problems it’s robust and solid.
The breaks are spot on I speed up and never a problem. And people always said wow that’s a cool looking scooter.
Thanks for the review Micah! This scooter looks cool and fun but seems to lack a few things i like about the IMAX, namely adjustable (telescoping) handlebar. One size does not fit all. Also the folding mechanism, while not demonstrated in this video looks to be less fluid than other folders. Could you expand on that?
Damn to heavy for it
Telescopic handlebars? Hmmm 😳 For a 55 lb machine, that will weaken it!
What is the name of the background music?
Can you do a Nanrobot Lightning vs Mercane WW vs Hero X8 vs Apollo Ghost? Can't seem to find many Nanrobot Lightning comparisons outside of to its D6+ sibling.
Amazing built
Is it water resistant?
isthe battery interchangable.
How long is a full charge?
Is it available in UK and legal!??
Hello
I love your channel
Your the reason I got a Mercane Pro last year
I want to get another scooter (so my son can ride with me - he has a razor)
I've tried the Mercane 2020 and I do agree it's a much better scooter than the original (fork, display and softer tires) but the Zero 9 scooter got my attention.
It is much more confortable then the Mercane. Only downside the power. Price is comparable between both.
Can I have your opinion Mercane Pro 2020 vs Zero 9?
Thank you and keep up the great work =)
Zero 9? More speed and more range lol
My impression is that the ZERO-9 is lighter, more confortable (inflated tires and wide deck) and more maniable (slim wheels)
Mercane has more power
Is it better to get a ZERO-9 or get the latest Mercane 2020? (Keep in mind I already have a Mercane 2018 dual Pro)
Thx for your input =)
@@bacbaohuy Are you sure it has more power? If I look at the specs, looks like the zero 9 has it all.
@@hcildwold1751 yes the Mercane has dual motor where as the ZERO-9 has one.
That's why the ZERO-9 is lighter than the Mercane (it think it's a 5kg difference)
2020 Mercane is heavier than previous model
I don't mind a little weight if it makes the product sturdy
I am genuinely scared of my previous Mercane when I go above 20mph (not at first when it was sturdy and new, but at the end of the season it became flimsy, that's around 4 months of uses)
I really hope the ZERO-9 is better build to maintain it's sturdyness =/
That's a big problem with reviews, there is no long term test..
What kind of helmet is that?
Will you ever do electric unicycle reviews?
Price plz
Is it fast charging?
Anyone experience an insanely low duration of brake pads, especially on the front brake, with the Widewheel Pro 2020 ?
It seems like they (the "official replacement parts" on AliExpress) barely last more than 100km before you need to replace them, implying multiple re-adjustement with an Allen key every 10km.
How is the scooter for a guy 6 foot or foot 6"1
Awesome lookin scooter 🛴 👍😁❤ I have that $1200 right now, but I want something a little faster than 25 MPR, Like 40, 50 or maybe even 60 MPH would be awesome
Hopefully you're not dead by now. 60mph on a scooter is insane lol you don't need any more than 40
hey im in need of a board the area where you stand on o had it rated over by a car and can't get that necessary part
can you help me
I bought this wide wheel.. from 1 to 10 i give it a 7...the bolt come loose and they will come out! You have to make sure to tight them all the time.. the folding know its a crappy set up.. there is wayy better faster way to do that on another scooters.. because of the tires are made out of rubber ! The impact goes straight to the wheel causing it to bend! So be ready to buy a extra wheels for a extra 200 bucks each!..
Been riding mine this past week! Such a dream come true!
Weight limit ?
Thanks for information and video. I really enjoy watching it. A A from Karachi Pakistan. 👍
How do you lock it securely to anything?
Your cable lock can pass through and under the right rear suspension arm and then lock to anything.
How long would those ''tyres'' last ?
I've always wondered if those wide, "squared-off" tires made it less grippy when you're leaning into a turn. True? I've never ridden one of these.
They tend to want to stay straight up and then push over quickly after a certain point.
@@overboostn Makes sense. I can see that happening. Thanks.
Is it possible to disable a motor on the dual version?
Nope
Great price for what you get
I'm 2 meters tall. Is it suitable for me?
@Electrek.co
This or the EVOLV Tour 2.0?
I like it. Wonder if it's water proof
Ip54...
Pls review the Outstorm Maxx. I really want one but i cant afford to buy and then be dissapointed
Pls like so he'll see this
The Outstorm Maxx is basically the same scooter as the Maike KK4s, which the company has improved now and the current model is the Maike MK8, which can be had direct from Maike for far less than the Outstorm Maxx, so I cannot really recommend the latter.
I just picked up the Outstorm Maxx 25Ah. The instructions were terrible and it tells you nothing about the different P modes (mine was set to max regen which almost throws you over the handle bars when it kicks in). That being said now that I have fixed the regen back to minimum and have some ride time underneath my belt I highly recommend it. It is sturdy, it is very fast to the point I haven't dared take it to the max speed. I did put the street tires on it and recommend that to anyone that doesn't plan on doing a lot of off roading. With the street tires set on 3, turbo and dual drive it will lift the front tire off the ground if you gun it. As for the Maike it looks very similar and if it can do the same as the Outstorm I would have loved to save $1k.
How can motor be 750 watts when you later say 1000, is battery only 750 watts?
When I use my manual bike to get around town, my knees at the end of the day get so sore. This maybe the next step for me for my knees.
Your seat is too low on your bike
I love bikes, but scooters are a game changer. All of them are great just get one. I have a few in all price range and they are all a blast.
So my daughter is looking for a scooter to go about 2 miles to a PATH station, then taking the train into Manhattan, then about another 3 miles to work. Do you think this scooter might be to heavy for her to fold and carry on the train? She is in shape...but not sure what carrying 50 lb scooter on a moving train would be like. Other scooters seem underpowered. Thanks
In my opinion, this scooters seems too powerful for 5 mile commute, or 10 mile total commute. There are other options that would be better .
I’d say stick to a scooter that weight around 30 if your daughter is gonna use public transportation
I love to see in personal this widewheel pro and im short guy if could fit me that because i think thats tall... im 5’4 ft... any advice? T.y
kelly paet I’m 5 3 you’re fine
i'm 5'10 and the bars go up to the bottom of my ribs. My gf is 5'4 and she can ride it perfectly fine
Nice review..
Where did you shoot this video?
Would you recommend this or the Zero 8X?
Widewheel Pro!
Hey Electrek. Your website seems to be broken. Comments and some elements aren't loading for me whether it's Firefox or Edge. This started this week for me.
Πως μπορώ να το αγοράσω πόσο κάνει ???
were you riding in KPH? Cause that would be a hell of a deal if you were cruising at 37 MPH
Haha oh yes, the speedo was in km/h. You'll need a different scooter to hit 37 mph!
While checking it out on the sellers site, I was told it has regen braking in the chat window. But I see nothing regarding regen braking in the description or any reviews. What is the truth?
Bill Richards I don’t own the wide wheel but I do own the horizon. it is a cheaper scooter sold by the same retailer, and it has regenerative braking so I would assume that the wide wheel does also.
Hey Micah, how about a review of the new Mercane MX60. It looks like a quality built scooter and should be a real comfortable ride.
is good or mine is trottinette?
Is does not seem to go more than 40km/h even though it packs enough power for at least 50km/h.
Do you really want to go 50 km/h on something this small? I'd be comfortable going 50 on an e-bike but on a scooter?
@@xiuxiu1108 Really depends on a scooter and terrain. Speedway 5 goes even up to 70km/h and it is super stable and gripy on the road, besides having such a top speed it does not meet you have to fly this speed all the time. Of course, full face helmet and gloves always.
TheChazas On the display you can choose which mode you want .
For normal cruise on Eco mode.
And for fast speed up to 42km/h you select on the display mode to Power.
When I ride it on power mode. I feel a speed of 45 km/h. On a good long concrete street.
Put some snow chains on it and ride it in the snow 😂
Are they legal?
I just got mines today an it doesn’t start at all so disappointed 😔 I put the key in an nothing
Alliexpress this. Will be a lot cheaper for most regions /below 1000$ with shipping. Its still a chineese brand
test drove.. pretty good except the wide wheels make it not agile, hard to lean.. difficult nipping around people etc.. bit of a shame
It's being sold on ali express for 800 euros, which is a good price imo
Yea I saw that.... with $705 shipping cost. great !!
@@r.c.850 Free shipping.. check Wheelriders store on AE
Guys you need to stop cheeping out when it comes to scooters. If you’re not buying from the certified dealer you’re probably not going to get any warranty. Also chances are it is a clone and not the actual real scooter. Fluid free ride offers great customer service. They stand behind their product and will replace it if it breaks, but if you buy it from a third-party source, and you have an issue then chances are you’re screwed
@@montelinm FFR gets their scooters from China. There are legit sellers on AE, if something breaks you get a new part.. the downside is you have to wait a month to get it and install it yourself. Some people find that acceptable to save 500 bucks.
CroCopNo1 I wasn’t aware of that. I’ve just been told to stay clear of purchasing from Other sites and I’ve heard Horror stories of people buying from Ali express and the scooter crapped out on them a few days later and they couldn’t get any support whatsoever. I also heard they didn’t get the actual range or top speed on the scooters that they purchased from the third-party sites so that’s what made me think that they were getting clones. I have the horizon from FFR. I saw several comments from people who bought theirs from Ali express claiming they only got 13 miles when I get 25+ miles. That massive difference scared me away from Purchasing outside of fluid free ride. I’m glad if you’re having good luck with yours. I’m just not 100% convinced myself
Can you put a seat on this
What's the price in U.S. 💸💸💸???
How is it climbing hills?
the best
How fast go? What's the Range???
26 mph
Wide platform also please
I just wish the cables were more hidden/out of the way
Just buy my first scooter (caroma brand) now I want this one already.
Nice & Thanks :)
I'm having trouble finding this company's headquarters? Does anyone know if this is Chinese, American, Canadian, etc.?
I have a 2021 Emove Cruiser
wow nice neighbourhoooood
Im a wolf king kinda ryder, but this is a beautiful sleek scooter.
Very bes....How mach..
Im most definitely getting one!!
Have to say the 2019 version was amazing so the pro only gets better.
I opted for the Apollo explore. 31mph 😈
28km maximum range
I was so ready to buy this scooter but I learned the IP rating is only IP54, I really don't understand why they don't make outdoor vehicles waterproof
