    How quickly can they do the Ike Gauntlet? With the short wheel base, would they make it up Goldmine Hill? Can they handle Moab? Get a set of K02s on them and let us know what we are all obviously wanting to know. I'm not buying until Mr. Truck gives his brutally honest thoughts.

    1. You’re wrong on the bird pricing
    2. No mention of the razer’s crazy sensitive brakes?
    3. Bird and lime both have multiple different models of scooters in Denver
    4. No mention of the lime’s solid tires, making a rough ride?
    5. Lyft has their scooters maintained by dedicated lyft employees unlike lime and bird
    6. Uh how did you miss the underglow on the Segway scooter? Booo.

    I don't know if you already figured out or not, but the "sticky" throttle is because of the rubber handle grip is too tightly pressed on. If you move it with just a tiny bit, the throttle will move freely.

    Great video but the companies keep changing their prices and updating their rentals. Bird is currently 29 cents per minute in Salt Lake City (Sept 2019). Lime WAS 10 cents a minute in Austin last year but they raised their rates. I was in Austin last week and there are TONS of scooters to rent, but most are badly worn, and there's so much traffic it's hard to feel save. I did see a couple of newer Limes that were really nice. I'd like to know more about weekly or monthly rentals.

    Scooters & Bikes were stripped and dumped in St. Louis .... found 100 stripped in a warehouse, 50 dumped in the river and dozens more in alleys.
    Interesting to know more information about these ride shares. Safety, stability & ranges .... it always looks good on paper, flounders in practice.

  • @craigwflys
    @craigwflys 6 лет назад

    The sticky throttle is usually just the right grip pushed over to the left just a bit too much and it rubs against the throttle causing it to get stuck. Just a bit of a pull outwards will fix it instantly. Lyft and Bird use the Xiaomi M365 which I feel sets the standard and is still the best model overall. I own one of these and it almost completely out performs the rental units in performance since it hasn't been abused. Top speed is 15.5.Mph and the regenerative front brake along with the rear disk brake works really well. Good video guys. Bird has a new "Zero" model which you should track down and do a review on. Kind of built like a tank.

  • @navi_exl

    The first Bird scooter (and Lyft) is an M365 by Xiaomi. It has a disk brake on the back **and** an electronic brake on the front wheel, they are both activated when you pull the brake lever.
    I'm not sure why the stopping distance was so bad it should be about half that. I guess they are not being maintained well, so the disk brake isn't working as it should be.
    The second Bird is also made by Xiaomi as they own Segway, it's a cheaper model.

    The Bird & lift e-scooters is made by Xiaomi & its originally a Xiaomi m365 e-scooter & I have one for personal commuting, and I'd say it is the best E-scooter there so far, in terms of performance & reliability, until the boosted Rev & The Ninebot Kickscooter MAX is out in the market next month (July).

  • @jSyndeoMusic
    @jSyndeoMusic 5 лет назад +1

    Ha, I wasn't expecting to see Denver here!! I used to commute on that bike trail along the river every day! Although my favorite was the Lyft scooters, I never had a good experience on the Limes. Since this video, both Bird, Lyft, and newcomer Spin have moved to variants of the Segway-Ninebot model you showed here, as apparently Xiaomi (who made the previous Bird and Lyft scooters) didn't want them using their scooters for ridesharing. I honestly like the Segway models even more, though. While I do miss the cushiony tires of the Xiaomi models, the Segway-Ninebot ones are better performers all-around, and when the companies don't cover them with control boxes (Spin doesn't), there is in fact a speedometer.
    Since I commute on one every day (from the RiNo area now instead of from the RTD station at Decatur), I ended up ordering a Segway-Ninebot ES4-the highest-end model in that family-for myself. It arrives in a few days, and apparently I'm passing the time by watching videos about more scooters… and knowing way too much about them, apparently. LOL

    • @EDISONTECH
      @EDISONTECH 5 лет назад +1

    • @jSyndeoMusic
      @jSyndeoMusic 5 лет назад

      @@EDISONTECH Ha… what timing. If you're talking about the headlight causing the scooter to slow down, mine started having that problem this morning. Not sure what my repair options are, besides waiting weeks for it to ship back to Ninebot and then more weeks for it to get back to me. It took about 2 weeks to arrive after I first ordered it, and I don't want to do that wait again. In hindsight, maybe I should've just waited and bought the MAX instead.

  • @jamesgjt

    The segway one is a ES4 and speed is limited. It is supposed to do 19mph and because it use solid tire and cheap rear brake, it last long without any maintenance and worry free from puncture. I got one for my self and yes on regular road feels bumpy and actually the brake is the worst out of the others with disc brake...

    20 minute video and you weren't able to identify that 2 of 5 scooters are Xiaomi Mi M365 scooters, which are also the most popular personal/retail scooters on the market. The 2nd Bird you find was the nearly as popular Segway Ninebot ES2 scooter and even gave you a hint with the Segway sticker. So much for "scooter aficionado" :-P
    Drawing comparisons to the retail versions of these scooters would be uesful for viewers who don't live in Denver or another town similarly blanketed by rentals, as well as helping Denver-type residents figure out if they want to rent or buy.
    A more structured comparison (like using the same speed for stopping tests), comparing tire sizes and types (the Segway/Bird scooter has solid tires), and testing speed across all of them would be useful.
    There are multiple types of Lime scooters in Denver as well.

    Limes and birds are all around my college I ride them multiple times almost everyday. Nothing about this video was 100% correct as these scooters are out in the public parts of them break or get worsened. For example the brakes on the “different” (called the bird zero line also uses this type of scooter) are usually the worst brakes of the bunch, but also tend to have the best speed which is the exact opposite of what they said. You can’t really judge anything unless it’s new. And I’ve used these scooters before where they still of the plastic covering parts of it because they were just dropped off that day.

    @flitsies 5 лет назад

    Goodish review except with regard to the bird m365 and the lyfe m365 you may well have found the bird m365 better at braking than the lyfe or vis versa.
    The thing is it may just have been down to poor maintenance as to why the lyfe took so long to stop, but we will never know.
    Also if doing a stop test it would make more sense to use the same speed for all scooters, so you would take the slowest and use that as the bench mark.
    You also need to take into account weight.
    I still use a kick scooter and that is very poor when it comes to stopping, it's also very poor on starting as well as my legs are not the fittest.
    But in an emergency at around 10 mph you brake hard and jump off at the last little bit, so you are not likely to hit anything unless you are not paying attention to what you are doing as you ride.
