My original version with bigger battery is still going strong for almost 3 years now.
Looks like Fluid pulled back on the $250 discount on the Horizon. The price is back to $750 now, it was $650 off a week ago...
I still have the first version for more than 1.5 years. It is a great e-scooter for my 5 mile commute and survives downpours. Just a note, I don't use the trolley wheels as a luggage but rather something to help me slide it under my desk at work.
Great tip! Thanks! -Paul
When I bought mine, I couldn't find the 13amp version on the product page, but an assistant (I think contactable on the page) was able to give me the link. So if you only see the 10amp version, contact the assistant. 2x heavier than my 20lb inexpensive scoot, so I don't use it for neighborhood errands. It is great to ride around on though. Feels like a motorcycle. A great intermediate 2nd scooter after you've maxed out the speed and range on your first entry level one.
Thanks for the review! Just pulled the trigger on this. Hope it goes well!
Hope you enjoy it! -Vosk
I love that blooper at 2:35 😂
Lol haha
I picked up a my first Scooter, (Horizon) after watching one of your reviews! I love my Horizon, its a lot of fun!
Great to hear! -Vosk
Great videos! Very informative and helpful to understand this new world of EV
Big butt😂
2:31 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 im
Glad you added this part to the video
🤣
The Horizon is super solid. Mine is the most reliable PEV in my collection. Great review. Thank you.
That’s awesome! Enjoy your ride. -Vosk
The zero 8 / 9 platform, which this uses is great. Parts are very easy to buy and straightforward to replace. I've replaced the handlebars, front fork, battery and a few tires on my zero 9 and it still rides great. I wish they added waterproofing, because then, it would be almost perfect
Very Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Where can I buy the frame/chassis? I want to put in Samsung 50E/S/G batteries in it
Bought mine today, going to make videos of it!
Awesome! -Paul
This one seems like a super solid scooter.
I have the similar but quite different Apollo Light '21. It has the air tire at the back with the 48 volt battery, and fork suspension. It's quite an underrated scooter but I love it, almost 1000 miles on mine. Top speed is also about 28mph like the mosquito, which I couldn't believe. I love my scooter, won't upgrade for a while!
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
-Vosk
Far and fast for the least amount of cash! Yes, and simple and gets the job done. 800 miles on mine so I got my money's worth. Good to see a kickplate on the back now.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Looks a good scooter 😎
Have you reviewed inmotion S1?
Not yet! Maybe in the future. -Vosk
Great video! Two questions tho...
Is the carrying handle for sale on the website? And if yes will it fit the older versions of the Horizon?
Yes and yes! Its' $49 on the fluid site. -Paul
Nice, too bad its still sold out tho 😢. But atleast it will be available because the last time I messaged a fluid support they told me they were not making it anymore 😓😓
Ngl love the matte black look of this. Looking to get a second scooter (my main one rn is the emove cruiser), and will probably get a uscooter for portability , but the look and combination air tires + solid tires, suspension and price of this one makes me think twice. Been awhile since I've been excited for black friday to come around
This is a amazing value!
Thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting. Always appreciated! -Paul
Great video! This or the NIU Kqi3 Max? Range and top speed are similar enough. The extra portability looks like a big pro on this, but the Kqi3 Max has excellent build quality and stability. Any recommendations here? Currently have a Kqi3 Max, but it doesn't fit in my trunk, so I have to put it in my backseat. It's doable, but not ideal, so trying to see if maybe the horizon could be worth getting.
The Horizon definitely has the edge on portability! I wish the KQi3 handlebars were just a little more narrow. The wide bars are nice when you're riding, but tough in the trunk. Either are great scooters. I'd say the Horizon's weakest area is just having one brake on the rear, where the KQi3 Pro and MAX brakes are on the other end of the spectrum, where you need to be careful to not over do it on the brakes because they're so strong. It's really hard to go wrong with either scooter though. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thank you Paul! Appreciate the reply and all the content from ESG.
Look so cheap...and really old school.for this price look really nice.thanks for this movie.. greats from Netherlands
Thanks for watching! -Paul
Thanks Paul for the video! Horizon is a very solid scooter. I had the Speedway scooter that basically matches the Horizon and enjoyed that scooter. I still would rather have the E-Twow GT and Fluid Mosquito (have both) since they are hyper portable and faster. I also don't think anything is as durable as that E-Twow design and I have a very large sample set to back it up. I also don't think the ride is anywhere as bad as everyone seems to think. On a side note I ended up picking up another Inokim Light 2 scooter for the wife for $699 which is amazing for that scooter. My wife misses the Inokim Light 2 that was stolen last year from her and I figure she can mix up her riding with the two best ultra portables out there.
Nice stable you have Robert! I rode the Light 2 home tonight. I love the low deck height. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Cool! I don't have any more power scooters. I love electric unicycles too much these days. However, an ultra portable scooter has so many great use cases to ever be without one. Keep up the great work!
Which one do you find is easier to carry up two flights of stairs? Mosquito or horizon?
@@lostintheclouds8719 I find both easy to carry up multiple flights of stairs but the Mosquito is much easier since it is much lighter.
@@RCDevotee how is a scooter better than a small euc
Not sure how you were able to say it again with a straight face😂.
Guys are my fav!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
-Vosk
Seemed to be a good value until you mentioned no IP rating 😢 Please recommend something that's safe to ride in rains, foldable & light weight, and comfortably goes more than 20 miles (real world ESG range) 🙏
What is your budget ?
We'll be updating our old video "Top 5 Scooters for Rain" soon. We haven't judged the nominees yet though, so I can't say which is the best thing going right now for rain. I'd look for high IP rating, air filled tires, rear wheel drive or dual motor with traction control (we have some traction control testing to do next time it rains!). We also like grip tape over rubber decks in the rain, but it's more of a tie breaker than a must-have. -Paul
"While we did not invest in an IP rating for the Horizon, it is the scooter from our portfolio that has the least problems with water damage. The display is IP66 rated. The two fenders do an excellent job in keeping the water down. And the deck openings are protected with silicone. " There's a video on the fluid website showing that it's safe if you get caught in the rain
@@eladiogarcia501 thank you for that information
Can you please review the kugoo kirin g3?
We will take a look thank you! -Vosk
Could y'all review the Eco Reco L5 +? It's pretty comparable to this Horizon. Although, the EcoReco has an 11ah battery pack, both scooters top speeds are pretty darn close.
We will take a look! Thank You -Vosk
Will this still perform well if i weigh 230? I cant decide on the Horizon(13Ah) or the Emove Touring? What’s your opinion?
We edge out for the touring slightly!
Nice
Thanks Okie Bob! -Paul
I have over 1200 miles on mine.
Nice! Thanks so much for letting us know! -Paul
Fluidfreerides surprised me with there customers service definitely the best in the industry. I’ve gone through a lot of replacement parts on my nami and they come through every time.
That’s amazing! Thanks for the feedback.
-Vosk
awesome.... 🐈
Thank you rideacat! -Paul
Which one is your choice between this and niu kqi3 pro and why
Both are great options! The horizon is still a solid option for sure. Check the link is description for latest prices.
So in a nutshell the updated version is slower with less range, and now more expensive based on your review of the original version.
Slightly different specs! Nothing major. Prices rise because of inflation. -Vosk
Performance wise how does this compare to the solar e1?
This is a upgrade!
@Electric Scooter Guide I thought you would say that. Problem is in the UK its hard to get my hands on one so I'm looking for next best thing.
it says product not available on there page and can’t seem to find anywhere else :(
Seems to be working geni.us/HORIZON
Or horizon vs mosquitoe? Wich would you pick?
Both are good options! Mosquito is more portable
Would this scooter work for someone who is 6'4" 250lbs?
Yes, the weight limit from the manufacturer is 264 lbs. Ramier is close to your height and he fits on it fine. He's the taller rider in the section where we talk about handlebar height. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks Paul! I'm looking to buy my first scooter. I've been following your page for a while now and there are just soo many choices. I like this price point especially with the 250 off. I can just never seem to pull the trigger. What would you consider? I want one mainly to ride around my neighborhood with my daughter. She has a scooter already. Thanks!
From the V1 version of the Horizon - top tested speed was 24 mph..given the V2 is the same and improved scooter, new testing states 21.8 mph. What's with the difference? My V2 Horizon gets up to 23 - 24 mph no problem on flat surfaces. I'm a 165 rider as well. Just asking how you guys got different top speeds of two of the same scooter? Thank you! :D
We do gps tested speed on two different directional runs and average out the speed.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide all good!
Would anyone have the link where I can buy these wheels for the transportation shown in the video? I have looked on the off-site of fluid in both sections: parts and accessories, but didn't find them there. I would appreciate a direct link to the product. Thank you!
Something like this should fit
US $29.99 | Original ETWOW Front Tire for All Model of E-TWOW E-Scooter Booster V S Plus GT 2019 2020 SE SL SPORT
a.aliexpress.com/_mqQIBnu
5:59 sorry for the confusion and thank you for tour reply, but I was asking about these small additional wheels used for transportation when scooter is folded, cant find then(
Between horizon & jubel??? Which would be your pick?
geni.us/Mercanejubel Jubel for the win
Folding handlebars is a big plus for me! If they put a tubeless tire on the front that would be great! Why do these scooter companies still use tubed tires?
Not sure to be honest!
My horizon got up to 24.1 MPH on a full battery and on a straight
Very nice! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Still worth getting in June 2024? This seems to be the best scooter that can go 20+ mph, as light weight as much as it can, full suspension and above average range which are all things I am looking for in a scooter. Any scooter that has all those that does it better than the fluid horizon in 2024?
It’s still a solid scooter for sure.
Do you know how to change the speed from KMR to MPH
Did they include a manual ?
They did, but it's not very helpful
Day 1 of asking for a vsett 8 review
We will try our best! Thanks
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide that was quick! Thank you! Love the vids
I back this
Almost same deck like mine Vsett8
The dual motor version please! Thank you for the consideration.
This or the ninebot max g2? Does the Horizon have cruise control?
NineBot max G2 is a newer model and with more features. Horizon is older model but great practical scooter to get around.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Heard of some concerning issues with the Max G2 (ghost acceleration and braking along with overheating) and I like the design and portability of the horizon .
I really love my horizon. My only small complaint is the initial acceleration for the first few seconds is a little slow. I wish I could have changed it in the p settings
Insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Sorry to ask but I can't find the discount code
It may have expired unfortunately! -Vosk
I wish you had that $250 off code for the mosquito
Unfortunately not!
Such a dangerous scooter design! There is absolutely no reason to make the front wheel disengage while the handle bar is folded! I had a manufacturer defect on another model that caused it to fold on me in the street throwing the deck into the asphalt. Such a scary experience. I’ll keep all my wheels on the ground no matter what in the future.
This scooter has been out for many years and is actually one of the most reliable scooters we have tested.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Testing doesn’t account for the manufacturer defect that caused my issue. You never know when something will fail for any reason… I just suggest a scooter that will never lift the front wheel. It’s a silly design flaw.
Mine stop working it runs for like 1 minutes then it stop anybody else having this problems ?
That is odd! Did you contact the dealer for support ?
I don’t believe any of the Turboant codes work :(
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve asked someone to check it out! -Paul
Fluid claims an IP66 rating on their sales page. Directed water jet at the deck.
Interesting!
A good thing since the fenders are not long or wide enough. The underside of the deck is quite wet as will be the back of your legs and some drops on your back.
Only for the digital controls. Fluid says that they decided not to pay for the IP rating test for the rest of the scooter.
Has anyone ever mentioned that their fluid mosquito can last over 500 miles 😭
It def should for sure!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I’m thinking of getting one. I’m a bit of a dare devil so I love turning sharply at highspeeds. Do you think the fluid mosquito can handle sharp turns like the horizon?
Probably shouldn’t compare *anything* to a AK-47 in this day and age. Just a thought.
Noted! Thanks
Probably shouldn’t comment about something so small and literally doesn’t do anything negative to this video, go build your little 8 step toys Karen
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide You can do and say what you want on your platform! Just a thought
Lol bro u from the bay I recognize the marina
Haha yes we are! Thanks for watching.
-Vosk
I have the previous version of the horizon and it was a nice scooter while it lasted. Only lasted about 1 year and then started having strange electrical issues that FF couldn't figure out. It's not been collecting dust in my garage for the past year. 🫤
Sorry to hear that! Hopeful i your next can last longer.
Nice
Thanks for watching! -Vosk
