- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The BloomScooter is one of the cheapest sit-down electric scooters in the US. Learn more about it here: electrek.co/20...
Note: Please do not confuse this scooter with ZoomScooter. ZoomScooter reached out to tell me that they are two different companies that are not connected. The fact that their logos are nearly identical and they are both affiliated with Ampere Motors parent company is purely a coincidence, as ZoomScooter explained to me in their Cease and Desist letter. This is a BloomScooter and not a ZoomScooter, no matter how similar they look.
I bought this scooter and the good news, they seem to have made some improvements since your review. The speedometer is now accurate, in MPH, and accurate. Mine does 30 MPH. Very impressed with quality and features. I have had it for moth than a week and still haven't needed to charge it. Can't beat this for the price point.
Dubek Media Group CSC WIZ & Flux EM1 are both fat superior scooters for similar prices
I've had my 2020 taotao thunder for 3 months. Have 500 miles on it and still have only put 1,500 total into it. I get 90 miles per gallon
where did you buy this scooter I want to purchase it
Plz review more scooters in this price range
.
Good video, good information. Company sounds shady at a few levels and 25mph is too limiting. Personally I'd avoid this scooter at this time. My search continues.
My new Bloom scooter actually goes over 50 miles per charge, not sure why the author says 25??! and the scooter has been awesome, still the best deal and quality on the market.
@@brightfuture5201 yeah no they don't. Mine only gets barely up to 30 on a single charge and that's only on 2nd gear.. so you can only do a 15 mile trip. Before I have to recharge
So sloww
Thanks for this review of a budget scooter. I ride an electric scooter to work every day as well. I ride an USD833 e-mazing bike. It’s got three speeds, topping out at 42 km/hour in third gear. Lead-Acid Battery as well. Used it for a year now, and still going fine. I don’t think much about cost vs gas motorcycles ‘coz I pay super cheap electricity cost vs cost of gas. By the way, I live in Bangkok. Anyway, I’m currently looking to expand my horizon to a more powerful e-machine on two wheels. There are lots of brands here from the PRC and Taiwan, and even Thai brands that are around USD1K and can top out at 60 km/hour. I really appreciated this review, but I have not found this brand yet in Thailand. I’ll take a little more time to decide. Thanks again!
When will Honda PCX Electric arrive in the US?

What you used to film a 3rd person POV?
360 camera?
A shady Chinese product.
We have many of those in India.
Although we only have Lithium battery based scooters.
Selling a lead acid battery based scooter in 2019 is seems backward.
Hope they provide good service.
I found this product on alibaba with 250$
Got my Bloom scooter and it is actually very high quality and gets up to 35mph with a 60 mile range.
Rediu Andrei and they shipt it to you for that price? Or was the toy version of it?
@@futmut1000 your sick
Las baterías de NIU ((NUUV en México), son bastante pequeñas y fáciles de transportar.
Yo la llevo a mi apartamento para la recarga, y resulta muy cómodo (más cómodo que poner una enorme extensión en la vía pública). Lo malo es que no queda espacio de almacenamiento.
They quit returning my emails when I asked what model number they were trying to sell me?
Last email I did get from them was that they would take $800 as a down payment I can receive the scooter and then I would make an unknown amount of payments for an unknown amount after that
@@MichaelOffandgonestrong comical customer relations
TRY zoom. There customers service is awesome.
Too many issues with it for me. Plus getting spare parts would be a nightmare.
Steve K. of Indiana :
Bought a Bloom scooter recently: it is much better than the early prototype shown in the video. Speedo is very accurate on mine and top speed is about 32 mph!
" I'd probably say that it being electric is a major plus for me. Also the fact that it is completely silent is an impressive feature too. Additionally, it is truly a blast to ride in town and around the county too. You'll be able to get in and around traffic with ease! And since it is electric you can ride, and park pretty much wherever you want, which is a very sweet feature in itself.
Have reached 59 miles on a charge and still showing 3 out of 5 bars battery level!
It goes 26 mph in the 2nd gear mode!...it's way faster than any of the gas bikes i've built. Plus much smoother ride, and zero vibration. Plenty of torque right off the start too. It was even more than I thought it would be.
Reached up to 32 mph on third gear.
Very Happy with this scooter!:) Best priced Electric scooter in the USA:)"
What are these three gears you speak of? I thought electric scooters were one speed, or at best a CVT.
Well then Why does my scooter only get 30 miles per charge then?? I only use 2nd gear.... ?? Which product are you working for zoom or. Bloom.. because on zooms website it says don't believe what bloom scooters advertise??.... You realize customers read those comments and make notes.
25mph might as well just use an ebike lol
@Steve yes you do in some states like mine (Florida) and you don't for an ebike. My ebike goes 28mph. You don't need a motorcycle license but you do need a driver license.
@Steve yeah exactly don't get me wrong something like this could be awesome if it could go much faster. There are probably some dumb laws that prevent it
@Steve yeah I would but I can't get a drivers license because I can't drive enclosed vehicles for medical reasons. Unfortunately in Florida that means I can't get a motorcycle license either .. I have to bike everywhere
Faster than you can run
@@FranklinHicks-qs4gs true but not faster than an ebike. A decent ebike can do 28mph as long as you are pedaling.
Niu is a Chinese company, they are one of the top electric scooter makers in China, as many Chinese companies does, they change the brand of the product when they bring it to other markets.
Not true in Europe. They are not rebranded on Europe. And the sales and service is fantastic because of that as everyone knows what is what
Man i miss the old days. My gilera runner 50cc used to do 95kph standard. 102 kph with a racing exhaust.
This looks very much like the Zoom scooter I bought a couple of years ago. I like the scooter but agree with the “shady”comments. They furnish no manual to help with learning the scooter or removing a tire-or anything. Bet this is the very same scooter.
@@Cedaredgebob that's because they are the same
When I heard you say it reads 66 km/h when you were actually doing about 40 km/h, the bell dinged in my head -- 66 km/h is just about 41 mph...
Sounds like somebody screwed up and applied a conversion factor the wrong way... or worse, maybe that's how they restricted the speed on your unit -- by spoofing overestimated speed data to the computer that restricts output. Would explain why 25 and not 30.
I like the idea & price point, can deal with lead acid batteries; but they can't get a speedometer to be reasonably accurate and their best lie about the top speed to claim "nanny-state" status? No thanks i'll find another company to deal with. On the plus side that was a really well done product review, you did a good job of turning a sow's ear into a silk purse.
Can you review the Segway e-moped c80?
I notice there is no license plate on the scooter? Is it street legal?
It would be nice to see you guys review the daymak em2, or em3!
Jerry of Port St. Lucie:
"Very pleased with the purchase of two electric Bloom Scooters and how they performed. I was VERY surprised how quiet they rode and how beautiful they are. These scooters looked and performed greater than my expectations. The company did a terrific job in the execution of the details of the scooters. The personnel of the company are TOP NOTCH, Always available to give me tips and guidance on the ins & outs of the scooters. Could not be more pleased! Looking forward to many years of enjoyment with them!"
they sell for 2000 yuan in shanghai
Is there a place in NJ that I can purchase this scooter? I know it only requires a drivers license, but I'm unsure if a registration and insurance are required. Yes, I know insurance is never a bad thing.
bit wierd sharing a sketchy "copy" but at least you were clear about that.
Looks like Alewife Brook Parkway if I'm not mistaken.
As a fellow Massachusetts person... how do you get (electric) scooters imported?? Also, is it possible to take it to scooter shop. I have a Buddy 50, and they can derestrict it (or they can't because its electric)
niu is the best, lithium battery from japan and its motor is by german brand bosch
It's weird, I got an e-bike that's supposed to go 30 km/h but goes to like 50 more and has the same interface that this scooter. It's the Daymak EM1
I wonder if I could connect the charger cord to a gas or propane generator to charge it that way?
they just changed the decal and increased the price by $100 and then made some extra cash by selling add space to NIU
where can I buy this scooter because it's perfect for me to use to get myself to work
@st what website did you use to order your scooter
$500 more gets you a CSC Wiz that can hit 43mph. Plus CSC has been around and has a pretty good rep.
Is the battery removable?
? Can You buy These Bloom Electric Mopeds from a Dealer
how heavy is it? i live on the first floor in my apartment building. there's no storage and no garage. to get to my apartment is actually 4 steps. i am wondering if i could just lift this up.
About 250lbs
did you pahk the scootah in hahvad yahd?
Get a Juice Scorpion instead...it is faster can go as far or further, and looks far cooler......
looks like a solid pick
Do you need a license to use this?
duh
Where u take service no body mention Tha where u get parts. And service.
On my Bloom scooter, i have gotten more than 60 miles per charge and speed up to about 33 mph on a flat road.
im in Florida. Do I need license to drive it on road? can I just use learner's permit? I'm 16.
Two Grand? The scooter is perfect for me, but the price? Only 25 miles per charge and the SLA's will not last. My average trip is 8 miles. Bummer!
I Have had my Bloom e scooter for over 6 months now, it has been bullet proof and getting over 50 miles per charge consistently. It has high quality sealed lead acids batteries which are more stable than lithium batteries and wont' explode like lithium. these lead batteries can be recycled easily and are actually used in almost all the cars on the road nowadays as the starter battery and main power source for electric components onboard. and they are used in almost all the electric mopeds in Asia and most of Europe instead of lithium batteries. not sure why the author dismisses the SLA batteries. lithium are preferred in electric cars mostly because of space and weight contraint. 2 ton cars need to go 300-400 miles and they need lots of battery capacity to do that, while electric scooters are only about 150 lbs, which don't need much battery capacity like cars. So lead acids batteries are perfectly ok for electric scooters and they are much more stable and cheaper to replace than lithium !
That's true you don't want you scooter to do a Tesla and burn down your house.
What license do you need? Do you also need a registration and insurance?
@@vidong1704 Depends on your state. Google it and you should find it. I think in Florida its treated as a bicycle.
Why do you have a bloom scooter?? .. you work for zoom scooters!!!! I've emailed you with questions a few times about my zoom scooter, which i now have to sell as it's defective..
Thanks for selling me something that doesn't operate as advertised
Can anyone give me details on how to change the batteries...TheBloom Scooter looks like the Zoom Scooter I have
Lead acid batteries?

How can i purchase one.
How about hill climbing?
If i can get it for 45mph i might consider it.
Tommy TwoGun my Niu NGT does 50mph
These appear to be same exact things as Zoom Scooters
Electric vehicles, slowly crowding out this old man's preferred combustion engines.
Lead acid? Oh no, no no.
Lead acid won't burn your house down like a Tesla.
Newbie here can someone tell me the issue with charging it in your apartment?
The battery isn't removable, so unless you're able (and permitted) to put it in an elevator, or you live on ground floor, you're not getting up to your apt.
Nothing weird about the wrong photos on their website, just the usual lack of business integrity by the Chinese.
This ebike is very expensive $1999
Im pretty sure that the bloom & zoom scooters are the same scooter 🤔
@Wuanslm wish i knew this before i bought it 😂🤷🏽♂️ but its pretty nice i cant lie just need a little bit more speed & the nui kind of expensive
@@juniordsosa Bikes are cheap in Korea, but I think they are all Chinese, so your getting copies of copies of someone else's copy.
Actually all our cars use lead acid batteries to start our engines. They are more stable and safer than lithium for many use cases.
Expensive Electric scooters, I don’t have enough money to buy like this kinds of electric Bik.
Awesome vid
Good job!
Nice scooter just wish it had a better range
BAJAJ chetak and 22 motors, the best scooters in design
Good price, but as pointed out, the company seems kinda shady.
They are... Be careful.. zoom and bloom are the same company... It's the same exact scooter .. I'm trying to sell mine because i was misled about Miles per charge.. and mine started having issues 2nd day i got it and i have to pay a mechanic to fix because zoom won't cover repair costs for Thier faulty product.. .. now I'm stuck with a $1999. Scooter that's not worth it..
I dont call it odd advertising. More like resellers finding products on Alibaba and "rebranding" using images of products that dont even match what they are selling.
Then theyll give ya the same ole run around if you question anything. They just resell, they dont really know anything that the factory is doing.
You can be certain they have likely never even seen the product first hand or set foot in the manufacturers warehouse
Not a moped. The word literally means MOtorized and PEDals. This is an electric scooter.
Lead acid batteries? What the...
Not a fan of the giant, generic-looking font they used for their logo. Completely ruins the look of the scooter. Also not a fan of their shady website. Think I'll just save a bit more money and get something better.
If you put aside this list of MASSIVE CRITICAL ISSUES, the scooter is kinda ok
Oh wow can you buy me one of those ? I’m so happy that you actually enjoy using electric technology and saving the ozone thanks my man , I would love to have one like yours it’s just awesome ;)
Yeah it's called false advertising and misleading the customer
They sound like a dubious company to me 🤔
66km but really is 40 . it`s like broadband. they promise 50 but they give you 20 ;D
Ну вдвоём на таком скутере чуточку перебор, разве что ребёнка сзади посадить...🛵
Stop lying, this is not "one of the cheapest". These things start from $800 by unknown Chinese companies. Daymak costs from $1,000.
Lead acid batteries.......Wow that's horrible!!!!!!
Buying scooters online
@@halimaally6469 why is lead acid batteries bad? Clueless about it... intrested on getting an electric scooter
this is clearly a knock off zoom scooter, zoomscooters.com
Thats what I am trying to figure out. Somebody is copying someone.
I think they are owned by the same company
Blue scooter battery
Hmmm looks like a Zoom Scooter to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lead acid batteries and 25 mile range LOL. At $2,000 or anywhere near that it's dead on arrival. Next!
I get more than 60 miles per charge on my Bloom Scooter, not sure why the video says 25!
Lmao this would be 800 USD maximum in China
This hurts to see.
Norway banned passengers on 50 ccs, its just complete bullshite, I would gladly pay money to have a sensor on the backseat that gave more power to the thing to have passengers. You’re lucky mate
Lack of range
Crate....mail
Heinz. Check out the Flux Moped www.fluxmopeds.com. Same features, very reliable and will sustain 36 mph. Based in Wisconsin and will ship to all 50 states. I am a satisfied customer.
How is yours doing and how many miles on it now?
NIU
BLOOM
ZOOM
Looks like they all make the same bike…..I’ll take the NIU GT/S 😝 🛵 ⚡️
Friend of mine bought one of these pieces of junk save your money buy a real scooter Honda ruckus or Yamaha Zuma ! Solves your 25 mph and lousy battery problems right out the door
Sounds like a very dubious company who lie 🤥
Who gives a shit. What is this a scooter that gets better gas mileage than 120 MPG the gas scooters already get. Who gives a shit about an electric scooter and it doesn't go more than 25 miles on a charge. And they should set it to 40 miles per hour but then again that would probably only be a 10 mile charge
Lead acid = crap
Definitely not interested in that scooter.
10/10 SCAM
Passing on the shoulder. 5:01-5:08 riders like you are the reason cagers hate motorcycle/bicycle/moped riders.
Oh relax, everyone is at a stop. Filtering is legal in nearly every country in the world. Ironically, when mopeds do this it reduces traffic for everyone by making more efficient use of the road. But cagers just get blind rage because they have to wait in line. If they understood that they aren't waiting on mopeds and motorcycles, they'd realize that they benefit too.
but it's not legal though....what are you talking about???
@@codcouch1 why should you care if it's legal or not you aren't the one who will be paying for the ticket so relax and pay attention to your own business and don't worry what someone else is doing its none of your business unless your middle name is snitch
