Nicholas Brus thanks for stopping by! Hopefully it’s informational for backers of the project. I still think the scooter is a really great buy for the price.
Thanks, I try to do informative tests. People should expect a minimum amount of range that I get as I'm not light and test on a lot of hills. Likely people will get more than my tests.
I don't get out much so never ridden anything electric or seen anyone riding one but it's so cool to see them coming into mass use like around the 59 minute mark! Definitely the future
Yeah running along the embarcadero is really nice and they're working on the biking/walking/running infrastructure along that area of the dogpatch now... It's going to be nice!
Top review the tech is always good to watch but today's treat was the trip round your home town . Proper enjoyed it especially as I'm in the UK was just what I needed while being in lockdown. More lengthy reviews to come I hope.
The LG batteries also will last longer, an alternative are the Panasonic which are of the same quality but a bit more expensive so that is why they install the LG ones. The Sanyo is also good quality but they offer less charge after I think after 300 recharges.
pedoncule36 I think it depends on what your current use cases are. I feel like the base model range should be more than enough for most use cases. You would only need the higher battery if you want to go on very long joy rides.
Great video! I watched the whole thing to see if there were any neighborhoods I didn't recognize. I think this is the best perspective to really see how the scooter will be if someone decided to pick it up. I remember watching an Ecoreco video years ago with a guy taking it from North Beach to the Caltrain station and it really gave the best perspective of how it is to be on an electric scooter. Even at sub-20MPH it passes most things well. San Francisco has quite a bit more bike lanes than I had thought. I agree with you that the range was more than acceptable for this class scooter. I am sure the only thing that could surpass it in this class is the Ninebot Max. 22 miles in San Francisco is a very respectable range especially given the route you took. I am sure if you just kept it on a flat track you could hit 30+ miles. I could feel you longing for your Thunder on many parts of the ride. Even though you don't always need beast mode power it is always good to have it :)
Thanks for stopping by! I should do a range test on the max. I bet I can kill it in 15 miles or less 😅 Definitely going to take my thunder out for a spin sometime soon.
@@AlienRides Cool! I got my full face helm and motorcycle gloves. I tried them out this weekend on my Compact. I like the full face but at higher than 25mph you notice it pulls on your head because of the chin extension piece. No biggie but definitely noticeable. Oh, you must have gone out on a Saturday during Ferry Building Farmers Market. My wife works at Roli Roti sometimes.
@@AlienRides I have eaten a LOT of Roli Roti :) If you see a tiny, cute little Thai woman that would be my wife. Just let her know you love electric scooters and she will know you are my friend.
Fantastic review! Consider that manufacturers MUST test the battery range on the lowest speed, always flat ground and with the lightest rider. But to me it looks unprofessional that they state the max range without mentioning how they reached that performance. Anyway, I'm in the roaming stage and looking for the best value for money scooter with the longest battery range possible. There are some scooters I eyed which have a 100Km range and I know that I've to take off at least 30% of that to have a close estimate.
Thanks for stopping by! You're right that manufacturers list the highest number they can, as that sells scooters. The real indicator though is watt hours. I'm still pretty impressed with how much range this scooter got on this test, and think it's pretty good value.
@@AlienRides The problem is reading manufacturers' specifications is confusing on purpose because there is no standard and they all tell in different ways. Regarding the Inmotion L9 they state a range of 95Km so I wonder if they did the test on a treadmill and no rider on it LOL Due to manufacturers' intentional confusing declared specifications I've learned that the best way to judge the battery capacity and the range is by looking at the recharge time. So if you want a range of 80-100Km, the battery will need at least 10-12 hours recharging time and avoid these fast recharging solution because in the long run they will damage the battery.
@@billadmond9450 But this has multiple charge ports that make recharging faster. And did you see the hills he was riding on? This thing was working like a horse.
@@javascriptkiddie2718 Indeed working like as horse. But there are already more powerful options around, in the mean time I bought a 20" wheel folding fat bike with a 24Ah battery, manufacturer's stated range ~200Kms :)
@@AlienRides actually I got a lower entry level scooter the Gotrax GLV2. hat thing is a beast....I have to charge it for the length of a football field and prob can give me a"Whopping" 5 miles...max...LOL...right now I'm looking at Zero 8X or Kaabo Skywalker 10S+ they both seems to have to Distance and Speed. Which one are you recommend"? or any advice in the same level of these 2. They are about 1300-1600 bucks. Seg ninebox is too slow for me even though the price and distance is very decent.
Yooo ur channel has grown so much scince the last time I saw it and btw sorry for not supporting u for like a month I have like online school and I’ve been learning flips cuz I’m a free runner and ya so that’s why hope ur well
Hey; great seeing you again! Definitely focus on your school and sports for now. Scooting can always come later. I’m pretty happy with the growth so far, and we’re gonna just keep going. 👽🖖
18:02 - The overheating issue as noted by another utube test drive. It worries me quite a bit. Not sure if its a safety feature, or a design problem. May wait it out till next year to see how this pans out once people start receiving the first units in late October.
Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate it happens so often, but on the other hand I doubt that many controllers will blow? Definitely interested to see people's experiences with the production model.
Seems to be a safety feature thankfully. Hotter weather exacerbates the problem, so anyone like me in a cool temperate climate will operate under ideal circumstances (10-20°C) more often than not and avoid overheating... from what I have read anyway :)
I've seen in another video that overheating comes from outputting more volts to the motor than it's rated for, so speed down hills probably ups the wattage past 500w or whatever it's spec'd.
1:07:335 man the spot rocks. never saw the ocean irl. so beautiful as you turned the corner at that building that said cliff house.. I'm just finding E.V's... I dont know what I want a board.bike scooter or euc... Decisions decisions
Next scooter company: "INFINITY MILES RANGE!" Fine print: While being walked. Downhill. In the sun. At 1mph. 🤣 Nice video man. Good idea doing uncut footage. I need to do a "minimum range test" on the Zero 11x lolol.
@@AlienRides 49 miles real world range tested. 90% flat, 200lb 6'2" guy. 16mph average. I'm guessing.... 20 miles in dual mode? If the phase connectors don't melt first 😅
@@mr_wrongway Love to see your input! Still waiting for more e-scooter reviewers inputs on the L9 like Ben Fox, Electric Scooter Reviews and Stu's Reviews. 😁
Nice test mate, not bad considering huh.... I'm happy with that! Just out of curiosity how did you feel after such a long ride on normal roads, how was the ride on your body? Keep the vids coming, be safe yeah :-)
Yeah, I'm totally happy with the range here, and it's expected given the battery size and my test conditions. I think many people aren't aware how fast you can drain a battery at max speed with hills. Ride safe.
Finally figured out where I first saw your backpack (the armored one), it was on Johnny Tran's, Girl's back in the scene where he and his brother blows up Brian's green eclipse. (The Fast & The Furious). I've been bashing my brain cells together for ages trying to remember where I saw it, was watching it again tonight and it smacked me right in the face as he snaked off into the night.
Wow!!! Definitely seen that movie but had no idea about the Boblbee backpack in it lol. Found it here, nice find! ruclips.net/video/6hxOoM0-NJI/видео.html
@@AlienRides Hell yeah man, there's like 4 of them there, looks like it was a pretty decent showcase too! Where did you originally find the Boblbee? That was a total blast from the past XD
Can't wait for your review of the all NEW "DUALTRON STORM" ... I plan on purchasing that now instead of the weped SS.... It looks so modern like a motorcycle almost...!
I was getting ready to buy the Mototec 2000W but this is about the same price, much lighter and gets about 3x more range. If it climbs hills I am pulling the trigger.
Thanks for stopping by! Many people were curious about the real world range test with this scooter, so I was happy to be able to do this for the community. Overall I still think the scooter holds excellent value for the price.
@@AlienRides Do you think it will be worth the msrp? I think it was $899. It really seems like this thing was made for the sharing market. And again I'm sure that ride was not all fun lol we appreciate your sacrifice.
Antt Mann I think scooters of this specification are usually around that price. So while I think it will sell at that price, it’s a really great deal during the crowdfunding campaign.
Great video! Watched the other review you posted of the L9 as well and its been helpful! I’m now a subscriber. I’ve been watching so many videos in the last 3 days trying to decide between the Segway Ninebot Max vs the L9. I keep changing my mind and still undecided. It seems the L9 performs better, offers more range, has a better display/lighting pkg, and dual suspension BUT the overheating bothers me and haven’t read anything good on the app. The Max seems to be more durable and reliable and has been proven but falls short of many of the items mentioned above. So, honestly, which is your pick between these 2 and why?? I’m back to being right down the middle lol!! Help 😂
I like the L9 tbh. I don't think the overheating is going to be so bad outside of SF with its crazy hills. I think the better suspension and range on the L9 is very nice to have personally. Good luck with your decision!
@@AlienRides Thx for the reply. Since posting, I’ve spent lot of time on Inmotions FB page and very disappointed by so much negative feedback posted there. It actually has scared me away and after lot more research, I’m now leaning to the Zero 9. It seems to have great reviews and ratings across the board and keeps me at my max $1k ish that I want to spend. Not sure if you’ve reviewed the Zero 9 yet but let me now what you think if you have. Thx!
I think i'm addicted ahha been with my new electric scooter for the past 2 hours. And then i come in to charge it, while i watch someone else on his scooter hahahha
I've done much longer rides on scooters and my back is ok, though a seat can help for those longer rides. I think the suspension on this scooter is solid, and definitely feel safe on it.
do you live in San Francisco, California? The environment is quite different, and these group tours are wonderful, here in Brazil we don't have this because the traffic laws prohibit the use of this type of electric vehicles, I have a Two Dogs scooter of 1000w 36v and I was almost stopped by the police because of its potency... it's ridiculous, one day I'll visit for a walk like this
I do live in San Francisco. I'm so lucky that I can ride fast electric scooters around without hassle. Hope you can visit, you can rent a scooter from us. 👽🖖
@@AlienRides one day I will visit, it is a wonderful place, so wonderful that it is faithfully represented in Watch Dogs 2 (my favorite game), one day I will definitely visit, and congratulations for the content, I love watching your FPV Ride videos
@21:38 (The Ramp) my old job site before I came back to maryland due to the crazy ass rent prices lol took the K line from market street & 4th lived in chinatown 3years ago
looks like some of the roads during this video aren't in the greatest conditions, how was the ride comfort? i'm considering ordering this to replace my m365 pro (no suspension) so hoping it would be comfier and more stable i was considering a scooter from the kaabo or zero lineup, but this looks like a pretty nice option one thing that seems a bit annoying is the overheating error thing, do you think it's a bit unsafe for it to just shut off mid-use? could be riding in traffic etc. and do you know if this is resolved in the public models? obviously it's better than it just frying the circuit or whatever, but yea.
Actually the ride comfort for this scooter is really great for its size. The suspension is pretty solid. I'm hoping they fix the overheating thing for production, might be worth checking in with inmotion to see if they're addressing that. You kind of roll to a coast, so it's not ideal, but I'm not sure it's super dangerous. I do think this would be a nice upgrade, but it's also not shipped yet, so if you want something faster kaabo or zero would both be good options.
@@AlienRides faster sounds fun but it could leave to more serious accidents / crashes, so idk plus i live in the uk and it's a grey area as it is, nevermind "speeding" on a scooter also do you know much about trails of scooters? read a pretty good blog post about the safety of scooters, turns out most could be deemed as unsafe (cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2020/04/steering-trail.html)
@@meganharris4751 Yeah, that's fair, in that case this scooter could be a good option for you for now. I took a look at the link, and I'm not really convinced that scooter owners should worry about this. The difference in rake with the current options out there really doesn't make much of a difference, and if you want a more stable ride I think a steering damper is the way to achieve that. I find scooters fast and fun, and I hope they're fully legal in the UK soon. Good luck with your decision!
Thanks for stopping by! It really depends on what kind of riding you do. Most cities don't have as many hills as San Francisco, so it's typically not so bad. I think it's acceptable.
I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail but looked up the specs & I was let down. 52lbs is as heavy as the Emove Cruiser and I'm not looking for another heavy scooter. Other than that, looks good, but not for me.
Yeah, I think if you already have the emove cruiser, this one basically fills that same niche so it wouldn't be worth getting. Hope we get lighter weight batteries in the future.
@@AlienRides the performance testing. the testing they do is very detailed and it really helped me with choosing a scooter to purchase which is why testing like that is so important. you and esg are of the most unbiased reviewers on utube and i also prefer your style of video and you are also more capable of getting your hands on the faster scooters so if you were to do performance testing, it would be a game changer. electric-scooter.guide/comparisons/electric-scooter-performance-tests/ this page is something i review all the time!
HEY. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT. JUST PURCHASED A EBIKE. Love it however from time to time the battery will cut off with no warning. After 5 miles of riding. Has this happened to you? And if so, what do you recommend?
Ebikes are fun, shame about the cutoff. It’s hard to say without knowing more. You will want to check the voltage of the battery, and also make sure you’re not going below the low voltage cutoff. Example, 60 volt battery will go from 66 volts down to about 49 volts. Good luck figuring it out!
Very cool, 👍 WHAT DO U GUYS think of the Segway-Ninebot Es4, not the one on amazon,although same one without the LIME logo’s, i got one from scootexpo for $450, not the greatest suspension, but a great ride at 19mph, and 28mile range👍 ?
Don't really feel any wobble on this electric scooter, sometimes you might on the faster ones, if you're going 40 mph+. Scooters are amazing, hard to find a con. On this particular model, it did overheat occasionally though.
Alien Rides I almost bought this it was a Facebook ad, it was listed for 239 but then when I contact the manufacturer they said it’s a fake a scammer where is the actual cost is 899. But I had already purchased the gotrax v2 2020 addition
hey there man, i hope all is well and that you r staying safe and healthy. im really considering getting this but the only way i can find to order this from is through indigogo. ive heard some negative things about indigogo so would you recommend that i purchase the l9 now through them or are there other options i should consider? any help would be much appreciate man!!!
Hey! While crowd funding sites like indiegogo can be dangerous to order from, I think you can trust this particular campaign to deliver. This is because Inmotion is a well-known global brand and they are already making the scooters, as you can see one in this video. I like the scooter a lot, you should try it! 👽🖖
@@AlienRides thank you man i appreciate your insight. i plan to get this for my mother but she does not enjoy the scooters that are punchy. is this scooter's acceleration manageable like the ninebot max or is it more on the punchy side the ww pro? my mother has really enjoyed the ninebot max and i just want to get her something that has a bit more range and this seems to be the perfect candidate.
My dualtron thunder at 21 mph average speed got 74 miles flat ground, this scooter u have to go 10 mph or less to get 59 miles, plus a 150 pound rider, I weigh 201.
Great review. Just a question about comfort regarding handle bars. I know you mentioned before that its a bit higher in your other vid but how did it feel riding it after more than 1 hour??? Also, why were you doing like small S curving? Is it because of ride comfort and balance or was it just for no reason? Thanks! Marc
I think I actually got used to them, and the handlebars were ok for me for the 1hr ride. More than that, my thumb got a bit tired after one hour, so I kind of held the whole assembly in a fist 😅 I don't think this is a problem that most users would face though. Regarding the S curves/carving, I think I just did it because I like doing it and it's fun, but maybe I forgot I was filming 😅
@@AlienRides thank you for your reply. I'm happy that you make these videos for us and even take the time replying. This is very helpful and informative for us. Keep it up and ride safe!
Many companies will lend me scooters or early prototypes to help spread the word and make video content on them. Awesome that you backed, I think it's a great scooter for the price and you will enjoy it very much when you get it!
Alien Rides do you recommend I get the extra charger with the seat? Coz the one I purchased was the one with the fingerprint lock. I figured the scooter would look weird with a seat. Also can u use the scooter as a kick scooter once the battery is dead? Thanks again.
Roy Reyes it depends on how many miles your going to be riding each day. If less than 20 miles you probably don’t need a second charger. The seat is ok, but not necessary in my mind. You can use it as a kick scooter, but it’s very heavy and will be quite tiring.
Alien Rides I was also considering the Swagtron Cali Drift at first, it’s a 3 wheel scooter, you heard of it? Maybe you can do a review of that too. It looked fun and interesting to me, kinda look like the Scooterboard by Inmotion.
I have a question, I recently upgraded my scooter from 48v to 96v but I still have a 30 amp controller rated at 48v with a 1000 watt motor, what fuse would be acceptable for me to use to run this do you know? Because I plugged the battery into the controller and created a spark all 3 attempts need to know your advice please
Whoa you upgraded the battery from 48 volts to 96 volts? You’re definitely going to need a much larger controller for that, capable of handing the higher voltage. Saboton or Kelly are two brands that I know of that make high voltage ones. Sounds like an awesome project!
Hey thanks again, so what if I discharge the battery from 96 volt to about 60-72 life remaining, will I be able to plug the battery in succesfully into the 48 because technically it’s not 96 volt if I discharge the battery to about 72 volt? Or is it still dangerous to atleast experiment with? If so I will let you know when my bigger controller arrives just needed that bit of advice from an electric scooter expert/god like yourself, keep pumping us full of new cool videos please
good video 😎 my lemotion S1 did 19.6mls at 12.5mph my latest version of inmotion S1 does 32mls at 12.5mph I'm 15st 10lb not sure why it's got more range lol
New model of inmotion S1 is a fantastic bit of kit, I'm super light (10st) and managed 50 miles with lots of hill climbing that was also a breeze. Loving it.
Hmm yeah, then you definitely want to find a local shop who have scooters in stock. I usually recommend whoever I link to here: buy.alienrides.com/ Maybe something like the speedway leger?
Hmm, that's a tough call! Both are pretty sweet, the max speed is going to give you a bit of a higher top speed, but lower range. Though I haven't tested the upgraded motor for the Inmotion, that could also be quite nice. Now that the indiegogo is over though, I guess whichever one you can get at the moment!
100 % Pro well this one already ended, so I might go with the max speed as you can get that now. Maybe not worth waiting for this one to be sold again.
Alien Rides oh yes i think the maxspeed is cheaper than the speedway leger its looks the same ,, any parts thar will be upgrade or change on maxspeed ? thanks again always watch your keep it up bro
Never understood why these scooter makers simply don't have a slot in battery and sell extra battery packs that you can charge up and carry around with you, so once your battery dies you simply slot another one in and keep going. Ok so it goes 21 miles, but I must assume the battery pack isn't that heavy or it might go 42 miles, but if you could just slot a replacement in then you could go 42 miles perhaps or 66 miles depending on how many extra batteries packs you would be willing to carry with you. They miss a trick cos the could sell extra multi chargers and multiple battery packs, and with that comes more use which means buying more scooters as they wear out, or the very least more spare parts. Could you imagine having to wait for your cordless drill to charge up every time you wanted to use it rather than having multiple battery packs on standby.
Yeah, that's a good point. I have actually seen a few scooters with replaceable battery packs and they're a cool concept. I'm sure we'll see more in the future!
@@AlienRides Or even a way to adapt that which is already out there into a swappable battery scooter. Or perhaps an alternative could be a battery back pack, so you have a connector to the original battery and your battery pack on your back with a cable coming out of it. Plug in and go all day with the original battery hardly moving at all, only issue is making sure you have a quick release connector to the battery pack in case you fall off. And making sure your scooter connector is directly to the battery bypassing the BMS or the BMS will cause problems I think though I could be wrong. But using direct to the pack rather through the bms seems a better way to ensure the original cells are kept topped up by the back pack. It's just a thought but seems to me that the scooter companies didn't think of this simple addition that could have made them a fortune in extras, as the back pack could also have lights on the back indicators and even music with Bluetooth. Oh and it would be that heavy either as electronics today as all know are really small, heaviest parts would be the battery and the speaker but you could use a lightweight flat speaker. Anyway just thinking out loud.
Good point, I should definitely mention PSI in a future video. They were both full, I generally inflate to ~40-50PSI, can't remember what I was at here exactly.
I'm actually not sure if there's an official rating or not, but I believe it's just water resistant. I'd be fine riding it in a light mist, but not a heavy downpour.
San Fran is known to be the city of hills. Sometimes you don't know even if your car can make it up the hill hehe but seriously. 😂 Alien Rides really is in the best place to test these scooters uphill. 🙏 With that said you can get stuck in the middle of the hill to climb up and to walk down would be very very hard. 🙏
@@brightonianmove2279 I have to say most of the time you have to zigzag if not all the time because it is all incline in SF and if you're trying to get as far a distance as you can then you do that a lot and especially if you are riding there.
Wasn't expecting the range to last around 34km range in Sports mode! Here's hoping the final version of the L9 can last slightly longer! Heard the LG battery powered version can last longer up to 128km in eco mode! 😁
@@AlienRides For the LG battery version yes but for the one that you tested, which is the EVE battery powered version then it may last around 50km-60km range with payload of 75kg and less hill inclines to tackle.
@@AlienRides Did you also orderd the Battery pack upgrade, which is the LG battery cell version? Love to see you test that one out! Heard it can go up to 40km/hr while sacrificing a little of the torque & hill incline. 😁🛴
@@AlienRides Yeah might as well request the LG battery version asv well since there are quite a lot of backers of the L9 and they are still skeptical about the range.
I've seen them overheat on other models before too, and often they destroy themselves when they do. You have to replace the entire controller. Oveheating is not ideal, but better than losing a controller.
@@AlienRides that is true; I had the swagtron electric scooter out here, but all of sudden heavy rain destroyed it (natural causes) luckily I record now on my ride back home and from shopping (last time got knicked) by a drunk driver on my fat tire mountain bicycle. saved my right arm, but couldn't save my left.
@@AlienRides First of all, thanks for the video. So, you took off at 1:20 and rode till 18:03 until it overheated (~17min 43sec ride time). I'd say that 30% of that time, you were going uphill. Don't you think it might be concering that it overheated so fast? I am aware that you were pushing it, stopped at the lights, etc but wanted to know your opinion as you must have ridden hundreds of those. Thanks in advance.
@@AlienRides Yes, I turned them off with the App..they activate when the scooter is powered up. BUT, the red light will still blink during turns...the app doesn't turn those off.
im getting mixed info on this scooter, very polar opposite responses too. is this available, is it legit because ive heard many negative feedback towards this company.
I think inmotion is a solid company and the scooter is pretty good value. Since they have a long history in delivering PEVs, there is no doubt that they will deliver on this Indiegogo. Curious what negative feedback you’ve heard, I have nothing but good things to say about inmotion.
@@AlienRides people saying that its just a concept and that real world performance is much worse, stuff like that. to me it doesnt seem to be a concept because....there u are riding it. it looks pretty real to me. is it available for purchase today?
@@okdok3742 I'm basically riding a prototype, but it feels very real. Personally I trust Inmotion, but totally understand people are wary of crowdfunding.

How did you make the video overlay about the speed and distance?
Amazing that you do these full range tests. So informative. Thank you!
Thanks, I try to do informative tests. People should expect a minimum amount of range that I get as I'm not light and test on a lot of hills. Likely people will get more than my tests.
I don't get out much so never ridden anything electric or seen anyone riding one but it's so cool to see them coming into mass use like around the 59 minute mark! Definitely the future

@@ConeArmy lmao
This video makes me glad i ordered the LG substitute batteries in time
I think that should give you plenty of range for sure!
17.5Ah battery which sounds good on paper! 😁🛴
The LG batteries also will last longer, an alternative are the Panasonic which are of the same quality but a bit more expensive so that is why they install the LG ones.
The Sanyo is also good quality but they offer less charge after I think after 300 recharges.
Awesome ride,beautiful city thank you sir 🤙🇨🇦
Thanks for stopping by, nothing better than riding around on a scooter.
Wow. Can't wait to get mine. I even upgraded the battery this morning before it sold out
Awesome, it's a really solid scooter for sure, you're going to love it!
Do you think It's worth the 160 $ extrai to increase the range from 33%...? I hesitate... Th for your help..
pedoncule36 I think it depends on what your current use cases are. I feel like the base model range should be more than enough for most use cases. You would only need the higher battery if you want to go on very long joy rides.

I think this is the best perspective to really see how the scooter will be if someone decided to pick it up. I remember watching an Ecoreco video years ago with a guy taking it from North Beach to the Caltrain station and it really gave the best perspective of how it is to be on an electric scooter. Even at sub-20MPH it passes most things well. San Francisco has quite a bit more bike lanes than I had thought.
I agree with you that the range was more than acceptable for this class scooter. I am sure the only thing that could surpass it in this class is the Ninebot Max. 22 miles in San Francisco is a very respectable range especially given the route you took. I am sure if you just kept it on a flat track you could hit 30+ miles. I could feel you longing for your Thunder on many parts of the ride. Even though you don't always need beast mode power it is always good to have it :)
Thanks for stopping by! I should do a range test on the max. I bet I can kill it in 15 miles or less 😅 Definitely going to take my thunder out for a spin sometime soon.
@@AlienRides Cool! I got my full face helm and motorcycle gloves. I tried them out this weekend on my Compact. I like the full face but at higher than 25mph you notice it pulls on your head because of the chin extension piece. No biggie but definitely noticeable. Oh, you must have gone out on a Saturday during Ferry Building Farmers Market. My wife works at Roli Roti sometimes.
Robert Fontanosa OMG I love Roli Roti. Hook it up! 😂
@@AlienRides I have eaten a LOT of Roli Roti :) If you see a tiny, cute little Thai woman that would be my wife. Just let her know you love electric scooters and she will know you are my friend.
Fantastic review!
Consider that manufacturers MUST test the battery range on the lowest speed, always flat ground and with the lightest rider.
But to me it looks unprofessional that they state the max range without mentioning how they reached that performance.
Anyway, I'm in the roaming stage and looking for the best value for money scooter with the longest battery range possible.
There are some scooters I eyed which have a 100Km range and I know that I've to take off at least 30% of that to have a close estimate.
Thanks for stopping by! You're right that manufacturers list the highest number they can, as that sells scooters. The real indicator though is watt hours. I'm still pretty impressed with how much range this scooter got on this test, and think it's pretty good value.
@@AlienRides The problem is reading manufacturers' specifications is confusing on purpose because there is no standard and they all tell in different ways.
Regarding the Inmotion L9 they state a range of 95Km so I wonder if they did the test on a treadmill and no rider on it LOL
Due to manufacturers' intentional confusing declared specifications I've learned that the best way to judge the battery capacity and the range is by looking at the recharge time.
So if you want a range of 80-100Km, the battery will need at least 10-12 hours recharging time and avoid these fast recharging solution because in the long run they will damage the battery.
@@billadmond9450 But this has multiple charge ports that make recharging faster. And did you see the hills he was riding on? This thing was working like a horse.
@@javascriptkiddie2718 Indeed working like as horse.
But there are already more powerful options around, in the mean time I bought a 20" wheel folding fat bike with a 24Ah battery, manufacturer's stated range ~200Kms :)
Nice video!! I hate driving the steep Bay Area hills in a car lol this video is meditation for my brain. So relaxing
Thanks for stopping by, some people say it’s like scooter ASMR 😁
love it! amazing video and great range test. really dig the hud on the screen.
Hey Brent, thanks for stopping by and nice seeing you. 👽🖖
The range reflects its performance... at 18 mph max I should hope that it returns impeccable mileage as the top speed disappoints immensely
I think it's actually got pretty reasonable range for a commuter, but yeah, I would like a slightly higher top speed. 👽🖖
It's the wrong type of scooter to be really fast

You gave me motivation from the got way monster scooter video
18:02 - The overheating issue as noted by another utube test drive. It worries me quite a bit. Not sure if its a safety feature, or a design problem. May wait it out till next year to see how this pans out once people start receiving the first units in late October.
Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate it happens so often, but on the other hand I doubt that many controllers will blow? Definitely interested to see people's experiences with the production model.
Seems to be a safety feature thankfully. Hotter weather exacerbates the problem, so anyone like me in a cool temperate climate will operate under ideal circumstances (10-20°C) more often than not and avoid overheating... from what I have read anyway :)
I've seen in another video that overheating comes from outputting more volts to the motor than it's rated for, so speed down hills probably ups the wattage past 500w or whatever it's spec'd.
it doesn't seem to happen on the S1
I've been up an incline for about 2mls
and the motor was still cool
1:07:335 man the spot rocks. never saw the ocean irl. so beautiful as you turned the corner at that building that said cliff house.. I'm just finding E.V's... I dont know what I want a board.bike scooter or euc... Decisions decisions
Next scooter company: "INFINITY MILES RANGE!"
Fine print: While being walked. Downhill. In the sun. At 1mph. 🤣
Nice video man. Good idea doing uncut footage. I need to do a "minimum range test" on the Zero 11x lolol.
Wow I can't wait to try that infinite range scooter 😆 That would be a fun video on the Zero 11x for sure!
@@AlienRides 49 miles real world range tested. 90% flat, 200lb 6'2" guy. 16mph average. I'm guessing.... 20 miles in dual mode? If the phase connectors don't melt first 😅
Love to test that one! 🤣🤣🛴
Ride straight man!....
Yeah I should've, I just get bored lol 👽🖖
@@AlienRides lol for sure... I was getting sea sick watching 😂
I have a Segway ninebot max that ranges 40 miles to the charge. I like this one since gives almost 60 miles
The Ninebot Max is really cool scooter for sure, hope you’re enjoying it. 🛴💨💨

Great video
Thanks, this was a fun one. 👽🖖
Nice test mate, not bad considering huh.... I'm happy with that! Just out of curiosity how did you feel after such a long ride on normal roads, how was the ride on your body? Keep the vids coming, be safe yeah :-)
Yeah, I'm totally happy with the range here, and it's expected given the battery size and my test conditions. I think many people aren't aware how fast you can drain a battery at max speed with hills. Ride safe.
Finally figured out where I first saw your backpack (the armored one), it was on Johnny Tran's, Girl's back in the scene where he and his brother blows up Brian's green eclipse. (The Fast & The Furious). I've been bashing my brain cells together for ages trying to remember where I saw it, was watching it again tonight and it smacked me right in the face as he snaked off into the night.
Wow!!! Definitely seen that movie but had no idea about the Boblbee backpack in it lol. Found it here, nice find! ruclips.net/video/6hxOoM0-NJI/видео.html
@@AlienRides Hell yeah man, there's like 4 of them there, looks like it was a pretty decent showcase too!
Where did you originally find the Boblbee?
That was a total blast from the past XD
Sultry Pineapple dunno I think one person got one in the group then everyone started getting it.
Can't wait for your review of the all NEW "DUALTRON STORM" ... I plan on purchasing that now instead of the weped SS.... It looks so modern like a motorcycle almost...!
I was getting ready to buy the Mototec 2000W but this is about the same price, much lighter and gets about 3x more range. If it climbs hills I am pulling the trigger.
Thanks so much for the range test.
Thanks for stopping by! Many people were curious about the real world range test with this scooter, so I was happy to be able to do this for the community. Overall I still think the scooter holds excellent value for the price.
@@AlienRides Do you think it will be worth the msrp? I think it was $899. It really seems like this thing was made for the sharing market. And again I'm sure that ride was not all fun lol we appreciate your sacrifice.
Antt Mann I think scooters of this specification are usually around that price. So while I think it will sell at that price, it’s a really great deal during the crowdfunding campaign.
@@AlienRides Absolutely!
Great video! Watched the other review you posted of the L9 as well and its been helpful! I’m now a subscriber. I’ve been watching so many videos in the last 3 days trying to decide between the Segway Ninebot Max vs the L9. I keep changing my mind and still undecided. It seems the L9 performs better, offers more range, has a better display/lighting pkg, and dual suspension BUT the overheating bothers me and haven’t read anything good on the app. The Max seems to be more durable and reliable and has been proven but falls short of many of the items mentioned above. So, honestly, which is your pick between these 2 and why?? I’m back to being right down the middle lol!! Help 😂
I like the L9 tbh. I don't think the overheating is going to be so bad outside of SF with its crazy hills. I think the better suspension and range on the L9 is very nice to have personally. Good luck with your decision!
@@AlienRides Thx for the reply. Since posting, I’ve spent lot of time on Inmotions FB page and very disappointed by so much negative feedback posted there. It actually has scared me away and after lot more research, I’m now leaning to the Zero 9. It seems to have great reviews and ratings across the board and keeps me at my max $1k ish that I want to spend. Not sure if you’ve reviewed the Zero 9 yet but let me now what you think if you have. Thx!
Constantly going up hill I think you reached the ozone layer 🤣👍😎... Tough little scooter that
It actually did a really great job for the commuter class that it's in. I'll definitely be riding it more!
Great Video... Thanks for the information.
Thanks for stopping by, hope it was useful.
I think i'm addicted ahha been with my new electric scooter for the past 2 hours. And then i come in to charge it, while i watch someone else on his scooter hahahha
Haha scooters are definitely an addiction. I'm sure you'll have many more in the future, ride safe!
Me to
Did the long ride hurt your lower back any? Was the suspension good? And did you feel safe on this scooter
I've done much longer rides on scooters and my back is ok, though a seat can help for those longer rides. I think the suspension on this scooter is solid, and definitely feel safe on it.
I regularly ride 27 miles
I don't bend my knees
I stand with both feet facing forward,no pain afterwards
do you live in San Francisco, California? The environment is quite different, and these group tours are wonderful, here in Brazil we don't have this because the traffic laws prohibit the use of this type of electric vehicles, I have a Two Dogs scooter of 1000w 36v and I was almost stopped by the police because of its potency... it's ridiculous, one day I'll visit for a walk like this
I do live in San Francisco. I'm so lucky that I can ride fast electric scooters around without hassle. Hope you can visit, you can rent a scooter from us. 👽🖖
@@AlienRides one day I will visit, it is a wonderful place, so wonderful that it is faithfully represented in Watch Dogs 2 (my favorite game), one day I will definitely visit, and congratulations for the content, I love watching your FPV Ride videos
NICE RIDE
This guy cracks me up with complete full gear on a hot ass day with dinky 18 mile an hour scooter.lol
Hah, I wear the same gear if I'm going 80mph or 10mph. 👽🖖
@21:38 (The Ramp) my old job site before I came back to maryland due to the crazy ass rent prices lol took the K line from market street & 4th lived in chinatown 3years ago
Ah nice, the whole area by the Ramp is really developing now, it's crazy how fast it's transforming with the Chase Center and everything.
looks like some of the roads during this video aren't in the greatest conditions, how was the ride comfort? i'm considering ordering this to replace my m365 pro (no suspension) so hoping it would be comfier and more stable
i was considering a scooter from the kaabo or zero lineup, but this looks like a pretty nice option
one thing that seems a bit annoying is the overheating error thing, do you think it's a bit unsafe for it to just shut off mid-use? could be riding in traffic etc. and do you know if this is resolved in the public models? obviously it's better than it just frying the circuit or whatever, but yea.
Actually the ride comfort for this scooter is really great for its size. The suspension is pretty solid. I'm hoping they fix the overheating thing for production, might be worth checking in with inmotion to see if they're addressing that. You kind of roll to a coast, so it's not ideal, but I'm not sure it's super dangerous. I do think this would be a nice upgrade, but it's also not shipped yet, so if you want something faster kaabo or zero would both be good options.
@@AlienRides faster sounds fun but it could leave to more serious accidents / crashes, so idk
plus i live in the uk and it's a grey area as it is, nevermind "speeding" on a scooter
also do you know much about trails of scooters? read a pretty good blog post about the safety of scooters, turns out most could be deemed as unsafe (cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2020/04/steering-trail.html)
@@meganharris4751 Yeah, that's fair, in that case this scooter could be a good option for you for now. I took a look at the link, and I'm not really convinced that scooter owners should worry about this. The difference in rake with the current options out there really doesn't make much of a difference, and if you want a more stable ride I think a steering damper is the way to achieve that. I find scooters fast and fun, and I hope they're fully legal in the UK soon. Good luck with your decision!
Dope video. Hey is there a link for your jacket? It rocks.
Thanks! I use a Rev'it summer riding jacket. I couldn't easily find it, but it's similar to this one: amzn.to/2XbLGrY
If you want range the E-move cruiser is a good idea
Yup, that's a pretty sweet long range cruiser for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Alien Rides great review and range test ,Is overheating big problem or it can be tolerated?
Thanks for stopping by! It really depends on what kind of riding you do. Most cities don't have as many hills as San Francisco, so it's typically not so bad. I think it's acceptable.
@@AlienRides Thanks you so much , i appreciated
At around 1:00:00 I was getting Back to the Future 2 Vibes. Yall remember the "Pit Bull" Biff was riding? Lol 😆
Hah, I need to watch hat again 👽🖖
I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail but looked up the specs & I was let down. 52lbs is as heavy as the Emove Cruiser and I'm not looking for another heavy scooter. Other than that, looks good, but not for me.
Yeah, I think if you already have the emove cruiser, this one basically fills that same niche so it wouldn't be worth getting. Hope we get lighter weight batteries in the future.
emove is 59lb lol
hey man!
would u be willing to start a testing system kind of like electric scooter guide?
What part of their guide do you like best? We have our new rating system in some videos, but always looking to change it up.
@@AlienRides the performance testing. the testing they do is very detailed and it really helped me with choosing a scooter to purchase which is why testing like that is so important. you and esg are of the most unbiased reviewers on utube and i also prefer your style of video and you are also more capable of getting your hands on the faster scooters so if you were to do performance testing, it would be a game changer.

Not bad for a price. I like my Emove cruiser
Emove cruiser is a great ride for sure. Ride safe! 👽🖖
have you had any problems with it
what range would i get at 15mph 😀 I'm 95kg
HEY. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT. JUST PURCHASED A EBIKE. Love it however from time to time the battery will cut off with no warning. After 5 miles of riding. Has this happened to you? And if so, what do you recommend?
Ebikes are fun, shame about the cutoff. It’s hard to say without knowing more. You will want to check the voltage of the battery, and also make sure you’re not going below the low voltage cutoff. Example,
60 volt battery will go from 66 volts down to about 49 volts. Good luck figuring it out!
Very cool, 👍 WHAT DO U GUYS think of the Segway-Ninebot Es4, not the one on amazon,although same one without the LIME logo’s, i got one from scootexpo for $450, not the greatest suspension, but a great ride at 19mph, and 28mile range👍 ?
I think it's a pretty solid package for a starter scooter for sure. Hope you're enjoying your ride!
Alien Rides Well that didn’t last long I just bought a Cycle board rover G2 😂 today, it looks so cool
Do you feel any wobble in the steering when you’re holding onto those steering bars? And what are the cons?
Don't really feel any wobble on this electric scooter, sometimes you might on the faster ones, if you're going 40 mph+. Scooters are amazing, hard to find a con. On this particular model, it did overheat occasionally though.
Alien Rides I almost bought this it was a Facebook ad, it was listed for 239 but then when I contact the manufacturer they said it’s a fake a scammer where is the actual cost is 899. But I had already purchased the gotrax v2 2020 addition
Dave R I’m glad you didn’t get scammed. Enjoy your gotrax, I may do some videos on them in the future.
hey there man, i hope all is well and that you r staying safe and healthy.
im really considering getting this but the only way i can find to order this from is through indigogo. ive heard some negative things about indigogo so would you recommend that i purchase the l9 now through them or are there other options i should consider? any help would be much appreciate man!!!
Hey! While crowd funding sites like indiegogo can be dangerous to order from, I think you can trust this particular campaign to deliver. This is because Inmotion is a well-known global brand and they are already making the scooters, as you can see one in this video. I like the scooter a lot, you should try it! 👽🖖
@@AlienRides thank you man i appreciate your insight. i plan to get this for my mother but she does not enjoy the scooters that are punchy. is this scooter's acceleration manageable like the ninebot max or is it more on the punchy side the ww pro? my mother has really enjoyed the ninebot max and i just want to get her something that has a bit more range and this seems to be the perfect candidate.
OK DOK it’s not punchy like a Dualtron or anything, but maybe a tiny bit more than the max. I think she could handle it!
My dualtron thunder at 21 mph average speed got 74 miles flat ground, this scooter u have to go 10 mph or less to get 59 miles, plus a 150 pound rider, I weigh 201.
My dualtron thunder at max speed with an average speed of 46 mph, yes 46 mph I got 26 miles flat ground, which is impressive.
Yup, Dualtron Thunder is a sweet ride, but also totally different class compared to this commuter 😅 ride safe!

I didn't know the battery charges when you go slow awesome help us jesus
I don't think it charges, but it uses way less energy. 👽🖖
Great review. Just a question about comfort regarding handle bars. I know you mentioned before that its a bit higher in your other vid but how did it feel riding it after more than 1 hour???
Also, why were you doing like small S curving? Is it because of ride comfort and balance or was it just for no reason?
Thanks!
Marc
I think I actually got used to them, and the handlebars were ok for me for the 1hr ride. More than that, my thumb got a bit tired after one hour, so I kind of held the whole assembly in a fist 😅 I don't think this is a problem that most users would face though.
Regarding the S curves/carving, I think I just did it because I like doing it and it's fun, but maybe I forgot I was filming 😅
@@AlienRides thank you for your reply. I'm happy that you make these videos for us and even take the time replying. This is very helpful and informative for us. Keep it up and ride safe!
i want to know that you buy the scooter online or from the store?
I believe various vendors have it, we don't yet but I'm thinking we will stock it at alienrides.com soon 👽🖖
How did you get these earlier than everyone else? I thought it’s still in production in Indiegogo, which I did by the way...
Many companies will lend me scooters or early prototypes to help spread the word and make video content on them. Awesome that you backed, I think it's a great scooter for the price and you will enjoy it very much when you get it!
Alien Rides do you recommend I get the extra charger with the seat? Coz the one I purchased was the one with the fingerprint lock. I figured the scooter would look weird with a seat. Also can u use the scooter as a kick scooter once the battery is dead? Thanks again.
Roy Reyes it depends on how many miles your going to be riding each day. If less than 20 miles you probably don’t need a second charger. The seat is ok, but not necessary in my mind. You can use it as a kick scooter, but it’s very heavy and will be quite tiring.
Alien Rides I was also considering the Swagtron Cali Drift at first, it’s a 3 wheel scooter, you heard of it? Maybe you can do a review of that too. It looked fun and interesting to me, kinda look like the Scooterboard by Inmotion.
@@AlienRides Are you available with the seat option.
Do I have chance to get 30 miles of range with this scooter if I weigh 148 lbs and don’t encounter steep hills ?
Oh yeah definitely, I think you would get more than 30 with no hills, hills are a huge killer of battery. I should make that more clear.
Hi can you tel why you are swerving all over the place thanks
Cause I was bored, lol. 👽🖖
That’s how you do a range test 👏👏👏
What's up Yogi Steve. It may not be the fastest scooter in the world, but you can't baby a scooter when you test. Ride safe 👊

greplink it’s real world for me every day 😅 But yeah, may not be representative of other locations/riders.
@@AlienRides haha that's fair 😀👍
Can you ride these electric scooters like a normal one if the battery dies?
Yeah, but it's not easy since they're so heavy with motor resistance. 👽🖖
I have a question, I recently upgraded my scooter from 48v to 96v but I still have a 30 amp controller rated at 48v with a 1000 watt motor, what fuse would be acceptable for me to use to run this do you know? Because I plugged the battery into the controller and created a spark all 3 attempts need to know your advice please
Whoa you upgraded the battery from 48 volts to 96 volts? You’re definitely going to need a much larger controller for that, capable of handing the higher voltage. Saboton or Kelly are two brands that I know of that make high voltage ones. Sounds like an awesome project!
Hey thanks again, so what if I discharge the battery from 96 volt to about 60-72 life remaining, will I be able to plug the battery in succesfully into the 48 because technically it’s not 96 volt if I discharge the battery to about 72 volt? Or is it still dangerous to atleast experiment with? If so I will let you know when my bigger controller arrives just needed that bit of advice from an electric scooter expert/god like yourself, keep pumping us full of new cool videos please
Nath Shaw thanks! I’m really not sure, but I don’t think that battery will work with that controller.

New model of inmotion S1 is a fantastic bit of kit, I'm super light (10st) and managed 50 miles with lots of hill climbing that was also a breeze. Loving it.
Why the constant swerving? Its like you were trying to ride a skateboard, made me nauseous to watch for too long. Appreciate the test.
Ninebot Max G30P is winner of this battle!
The Max is a really cool scooter for sure, but in this range test I would only get 15-16 miles with it.
Alien Rides How much % you have after 16 miles?
@@kirillpotapenko4173 0%. San Francisco has a lot of hills though.

What is a comparable scooter to this 1 that I can buy now & receive quickly?
Hmm yeah, then you definitely want to find a local shop who have scooters in stock. I usually recommend whoever I link to here: buy.alienrides.com/ Maybe something like the speedway leger?
I guess I spoke too soon on this scooters performance 🛴🤛😠🖖😁🤳
Hah, well I think for the price it’s still really good!!
Hello, how to make circuit maps, speed bar in videos?
The easiest way is to use the GoPro app. Personally I'm using a Garmin GPS recorder and app though.
You ran through 36 red lights!😆 ve r u nice city.
Damn I wasn’t counting 😆 Pretty normal to run reds on the city on a scooter/bike though.
Trying to get to ya mothers house 😝
asking bro who is better for you the maxspeed x9 or the one you using ? thanks bro
Hmm, that's a tough call! Both are pretty sweet, the max speed is going to give you a bit of a higher top speed, but lower range. Though I haven't tested the upgraded motor for the Inmotion, that could also be quite nice. Now that the indiegogo is over though, I guess whichever one you can get at the moment!
Alien Rides hmm thanks so much bro,, witch one indiegogo and maxspeed x9 ? im looking the best one bro kindly advice me pls thank u
100 % Pro well this one already ended, so I might go with the max speed as you can get that now. Maybe not worth waiting for this one to be sold again.
Alien Rides oh yes i think the maxspeed is cheaper than the speedway leger its looks the same ,, any parts thar will be upgrade or change on maxspeed ? thanks again always watch your keep it up bro
100 % Pro not sure about max speed parts, maybe have to diy stuff for that.
How many watts and amps?
Never understood why these scooter makers simply don't have a slot in battery and sell extra battery packs that you can charge up and carry around with you, so once your battery dies you simply slot another one in and keep going.
Ok so it goes 21 miles, but I must assume the battery pack isn't that heavy or it might go 42 miles, but if you could just slot a replacement in then you could go 42 miles perhaps or 66 miles depending on how many extra batteries packs you would be willing to carry with you.
They miss a trick cos the could sell extra multi chargers and multiple battery packs, and with that comes more use which means buying more scooters as they wear out, or the very least more spare parts.
Could you imagine having to wait for your cordless drill to charge up every time you wanted to use it rather than having multiple battery packs on standby.
Yeah, that's a good point. I have actually seen a few scooters with replaceable battery packs and they're a cool concept. I'm sure we'll see more in the future!
@@AlienRides Or even a way to adapt that which is already out there into a swappable battery scooter.
Or perhaps an alternative could be a battery back pack, so you have a connector to the original battery and your battery pack on your back with a cable coming out of it.
Plug in and go all day with the original battery hardly moving at all, only issue is making sure you have a quick release connector to the battery pack in case you fall off.
And making sure your scooter connector is directly to the battery bypassing the BMS or the BMS will cause problems I think though I could be wrong.
But using direct to the pack rather through the bms seems a better way to ensure the original cells are kept topped up by the back pack.
It's just a thought but seems to me that the scooter companies didn't think of this simple addition that could have made them a fortune in extras, as the back pack could also have lights on the back indicators and even music with Bluetooth.
Oh and it would be that heavy either as electronics today as all know are really small, heaviest parts would be the battery and the speaker but you could use a lightweight flat speaker.
Anyway just thinking out loud.
Did you air up the tires? What psi, front and back
Good point, I should definitely mention PSI in a future video. They were both full, I generally inflate to ~40-50PSI, can't remember what I was at here exactly.
might affect mileage as well?
pspower guy yeah it does, definitely want to go higher for maximum mileage.
35:30 You just outpaced the Ninebot Max w/ the same top speed hehe!
Hah yeah, but I think the rental ones might be further limited to around 15mph or so?
@@AlienRides True that! 😁
if my gt 2020 could go 21 miles I would be giddy...
so is the scooter worth it?
I do think it's a pretty solid commuter scooter with decent range for the price. :alienRides:
7:00 the beast cyclist lol
Dangg, he took me on that downhill. 👽🖖
Hi to you
In your video, when do you stop ride, keep on ride.
When do you one it’s overheating in this video.
I'm not sure I follow, I think it was overheating due to the hills in the city.
When do you not keep on go on,
If me and you, I’m keeping on going up to 10 miles not stop, then stop a one.
Hi, can we ride in the rain?
Is there an ip standard on this product?
I'm actually not sure if there's an official rating or not, but I believe it's just water resistant. I'd be fine riding it in a light mist, but not a heavy downpour.
@@AlienRides thanks so today do you think it's always a good scooter ? ^^
Septic yes, I still think it’s a pretty solid scooter 😁
@@AlienRides thank dude...because I think I will to buy this scooter.
I'm tall (2m / 6,56 feet in us) and this scooter have long handlebar ^^.
Am I missing something when riding a scooter with the constant swaying from one side to the other?
Hah, sometimes it makes a slower scooter more fun, but I forgot I was filming 😅
It helps going uphill too. 🙏✌
@@bbcruz8755 I wonder how much extra one has to travel when your zig-zaging, rather than travelling in a straight line?
San Fran is known to be the city of hills. Sometimes you don't know even if your car can make it up the hill hehe but seriously. 😂 Alien Rides really is in the best place to test these scooters uphill. 🙏 With that said you can get stuck in the middle of the hill to climb up and to walk down would be very very hard. 🙏
@@brightonianmove2279 I have to say most of the time you have to zigzag if not all the time because it is all incline in SF and if you're trying to get as far a distance as you can then you do that a lot and especially if you are riding there.
Wasn't expecting the range to last around 34km range in Sports mode! Here's hoping the final version of the L9 can last slightly longer! Heard the LG battery powered version can last longer up to 128km in eco mode! 😁
I think if you weigh less, ride on flat ground, not hills, and at a slower speed you will be able to get up to the stated 128km.
@@AlienRides For the LG battery version yes but for the one that you tested, which is the EVE battery powered version then it may last around 50km-60km range with payload of 75kg and less hill inclines to tackle.
@@AlienRides Did you also orderd the Battery pack upgrade, which is the LG battery cell version? Love to see you test that one out! Heard it can go up to 40km/hr while sacrificing a little of the torque & hill incline. 😁🛴
gtone339 I haven’t ordered that or anything, maybe I can contact them to see if they will be able to send me one early to test.
@@AlienRides Yeah might as well request the LG battery version asv well since there are quite a lot of backers of the L9 and they are still skeptical about the range.
awesome review though, but after 10 minutes of usages overheats...... first time for an electric scooter to overheat.
I've seen them overheat on other models before too, and often they destroy themselves when they do. You have to replace the entire controller. Oveheating is not ideal, but better than losing a controller.
@@AlienRides that is true; I had the swagtron electric scooter out here, but all of sudden heavy rain destroyed it (natural causes) luckily I record now on my ride back home and from shopping (last time got knicked) by a drunk driver on my fat tire mountain
bicycle. saved my right arm, but couldn't save my left.
@@AlienRides got my refund back (when amazon CSR) asked for proof lol
@@AlienRides yeah the controller is the harder parts to find for the electric kick scooters
@@AlienRides First of all, thanks for the video. So, you took off at 1:20 and rode till 18:03 until it overheated (~17min 43sec ride time). I'd say that 30% of that time, you were going uphill. Don't you think it might be concering that it overheated so fast? I am aware that you were pushing it, stopped at the lights, etc but wanted to know your opinion as you must have ridden hundreds of those. Thanks in advance.
is the speedway mini 4 pro worth it?
Sure it can definitely be worth it. It is a bit older, but it's definitely a nice littler commuter scoot.
All over the place made me dizzy watching this!
Haha, sorry about that. Forgot I was filming and sometimes carving on a slow scooter makes it more fun
Watching this sent me to sleep. But no before, you said you was coming for George ! Not today, Kevin, not today ! 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣
It definitely looks faster than mine(xiaomi pro2)
Yeah, I think it would be a nice little upgrade from a Xiaomi. .
Can the user turns off the light at the bottom of the scooter?
I believe you can with the app, but I couldn't get the app working for me as it was in beta still. Should be fixed by the time the scooter ships.
@@AlienRides Yes, I turned them off with the App..they activate when the scooter is powered up. BUT, the red light will still blink during turns...the app doesn't turn those off.
why are you always swerving side to side?
Hah, yeah carving. I guess I forgot I was filming, but I find it fun to do while riding 😅
cool range test man but why do you keep going from one side to another the whole video you just got me dizzy :)
Lol, sorry about that, carving makes it more fun, and I forgot I was filming 😅
Alien Rides hahaha that’s what I though no worries bro 👍🏼
im waiting for the plutonium powered scooter hehe
Hell yeah, can't wait for that! ☢️🛴
Wish it was rear wheel drive.
That might be a bit nicer indeed. I still think this scooter is fantastic value though.
That might explain why the range is so good. Handling much better with rwd.
im getting mixed info on this scooter, very polar opposite responses too. is this available, is it legit because ive heard many negative feedback towards this company.
I think inmotion is a solid company and the scooter is pretty good value. Since they have a long history in delivering PEVs, there is no doubt that they will deliver on this Indiegogo. Curious what negative feedback you’ve heard, I have nothing but good things to say about inmotion.
@@AlienRides people saying that its just a concept and that real world performance is much worse, stuff like that. to me it doesnt seem to be a concept because....there u are riding it. it looks pretty real to me. is it available for purchase today?
@@okdok3742 I'm basically riding a prototype, but it feels very real. Personally I trust Inmotion, but totally understand people are wary of crowdfunding.
