I am blown away by the speed of the technology. It all started with computers, smartphone's & so on, now we are genuinely are In the E-Bike & Electrical era, I just want to upgrade, as much as possible as I honestly have the ELECTRONIC bug syndrome, & I Loving It If ever you all at "MINDS EYE DESIGN" NEED A "TEST-PILOT." Pls don't hesitate to Get In touch & I will complete any task or trials. I am disabled, but my getting around Is possible all due to my E-bike. I thank you for sharing this tec hnological advancement. It really has changed my life without a shadow of a doubt. Please keep up the great work. You are changing lives, from London UK!
Thank YOU, as It Is a privilege to now be a member. You really are changing lives. Please keep up the great work & the Information coming as I want to aid others. In the same situation as myself, you really open doors to people with disabilities, & that Is priceless. Yours sincerely. Many thanks from London, UK!
We live in years where there should be no limitation and we can choose the options we want. Let's say I'm taking the scooter to visit the mall. Visiting the mall takes about 2-3 hours. What I do ? Do I try to walk the scooter through the mall, or visit the mall without extra weight? What option do I have to leave the scooter without someone stealing? And without its binding being restrictive, like how it is on a bicycle, to can chain it at different distances from a place. Binding can be the place where bikes are attached, may be a lower or taller fence, may be a thinner or thicker pylon. - also add a solar pannel charger will be good to charge battery until I come back from the mall visit Then other utilities that should not miss out on any other scooter are: - Phone charging - 1. touch screen with speed information, km spent in this session and total, percentage of battery charge, clock, eventually outside degrees 2. change touch screen, with onother one, a more complex touch screen, that contain those the above and also has GPS - The ability to catch the light up or down (I do not appreciate that the light is at the bottom of the scooter. Upper visibility is better for those in traffic at night or we are interested in like the others on the opposite side, to see us, so they can avoid us). - Upgrade (like electronic speed limitation aproximatively as our choice, or speed limitation, especially for scooters that can reach speeds above 60-70 km/h, and other different upgrades...) Come on... two weeks more and we are in the years 2019. Let's use the technologies of these years. Or maybe those who make these electric scooters are old-fashioned old men born before the year 2000?
Thanks for this video - really interested models and concepts - and detailed comments. (liked and subscribed.) But I think, some models are too expensive.
Most of the prices are outrageous considering the cost to make them cost less than 500.00 or less. Bring the prices down and watch your sales skyrocket.
False, batteries alone can cost $1000. Total raw materials is not a basis on which to judge the price. These are not made in back yards, they require factories, skilled labor and engineering.
ES1 was the best one in the video as it has large wheels like bike for better control and cargo space like moped at front. By looking at your videos we can guess you work very hard with love and dedication to make it, thanks.
Richard Mcginnis ,good question and the answer may be is for convenience (there will be no money for some people in the petrol industry )there are restrictions and interests.
200 watts of PV power would be required, very large panel. Folding or roll-up panels give tiny amounts of power. Trust me, I drive the solar powered ELF as my car replacement.
i think ill stick with my $900 regular 50cc scooter that i only put $2 in the tank and get OVER 70 miles from that,MOST of these electric scooters are getting LOWER mileage than the traditional ones,but for a way higher price point. But they are on the right path going electric, i dont know too many sci-fi movies with gas stations :) nice job with the video as usual
steph g check out Luna cycle Apocalypse scooter best in the game. And you can't take gas scooers on the bus! Not in AZ anyway but I'm a big scooter guy I need my speed. That's why I got one that goes 40+ mph ;) and 70+ miles a charge
I have a motorcycle and I'm really interested in electric scooters. I had a Honda scooter at one point as well. The big draw back for me on gasoline is the maintenance costs. I'm paying $300 for a tune up on my motorcycle and it's not ideal. Would love something to commute to work on while avoiding high maintenance costs.
steph g they have slick unique designs, however for the price. They are all trash! I have 4 electric scooters 3 are 1600watt Moto tec and the 4th is 2000watt Moto tec. I will blow pass more than half of the scooters shown here. I paid 1150 for each of the 1600watts and 1600.00 for the 2000watt I love them. I ride them everyday. I ride them hard, I ride like I'm a Moto cross Rider or something, the scooters they displayed are wack for the prices.
See also Ubco e moped from New Zealand. These are all potentially great for city driving speeds and should sell well. I hope they can still hold city speeds on a hill though. I owned a 1500 watt e scooter about 10 years ago. It was great on the flat but it couldn't tackle hills. Hills are the acid test for e bikes I think (unless you intend only to ride on the flat). Great video. Thanks.
rice eaters bul weight than wheat eaters - what would the capacity of newly launched electirc and scooter we weight more than ideal wight say about 6 foot male almost around 130 to 125 how two person can sit enjoy the ride and the capaciyt of vechile weight is 110 to 85 kg
All O' y'all at Minds Eye Design R "Awesome" at giving out details on D products you show on your channel! I like D way you finish up every one of those individual "Rolling Product Subjects" from >>> " Walking Stix to Luxury Rides" by giving out D price on them! It is much appreciated, and also makes that particular subject have a complete close on it, which is more than can be said for a lot of the other Vids out there with no prices on D vehicles making them look quite incomplete N sloppy! HeHe GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEOS TNX
You know these scooter companies make these Ads, which I am not denying the coolness of the products. But they use tiny half sized models riding these things. Now I am no marketing expert but, shouldn't there be normal to plus-sized people modeling the tough/ruggedness of their scooter? I don't know... I feel like that would be a better selling point then having the bike practically being driven autonomously hahaha.
Unfortunately, MOST of these are NOT available in the U.S.A. and some are available only in one country. Fun/interesting to watch, but less useful if you are actually interested in buying one.
8:44 It hasn't worked... when I hear the name Fonz I think “Wait, what was that? Did I hear something in the attic? There it is again. Oh wait, never mind. It was probably my imagination.” !!!
The video was interesting to see what is available. I am not in the market for electric due to low range, hours for recharge and excessive price. One recommendation for the future. From what I was able to see, the rechargers all pugged into european outlets (the plugs are not compatable in the US) and that would make them 220 volts (not generally available in the US). I think it would have been a much needed piece of information to anyone interested in this type of vehicle if there was a US plug/110 volt charging option.
It's mind blowing that it takes about 4 hours for my mini ATV to get fully charged on a normal socket but there are some of these mopeds that can fully charge in only 2 hours At the same time my mini ATV only generates 1000 watts (1 kilowatt)
Well, here's the problem. Most of these are limited to 28mph or less. In my mind those are toys. I mean I can make a diy e-bike that's lighter, faster, and has more range for easily less than 1/4th the cost. Next, only 3 of these are available in the USA, only one of which can exceed 28mph. So the Tarrot is the only option left and with a top speed of 38mph is barely acceptable. Seems like the designers and engineers forgot that 90% of the major thoroughfares have 35-40mph speed limits which also are regularly exceeded by motor vehicles. 5 to 10 mph over the limit is normal where I live so I figure I need a scooter that will go 50 mph to be safe. Lastly the uJet that surprisingly goes 45 mph but not available in USA cost more than an entry level Zero motorcycle! So bottom line all of these are way to much money for far to little performance.
When are these companies going to make a 3 wheeler for people that have balance problems ? For people that may be particularly handicapped but can also handle speed ? Another Question : AT 28 MPH - DO YOU NEED A TAG FOR THE SCOOTERS ?
Looking for manufacturers or sales company that make/repair the TORC FUSE ECO or TORC FUSE SPORT or any of the TORC electric motor cycle scooters. I have one but it is in need or service and repair.
All these electric scooters are cool but if they want people to buy them try make less expensive if it was 1thousand would buy one the average price about 8 grand you can get a Real nice second hand gsxr R6 R1 or nice car
Swapping batteries at go stations is a bad idea: there will never be enough stations, and for it to be worthwhile for the retailer, would have to be expensive. It's better to focus on batteries that have faster recharge times (ie: 80% in 5 minutes)
How is it misleading? They are 2018 scooters. All the manufacturers web links are in the video description if you need to know more info. Thanks for watching!
@@mindseyedesign the availability isnt really there. one scooter is only in Taiwan. the link to the Vespa scooter doesnt work. I just think that actual availability info is worth mentioning. a lot of the prices for these scooters are off too.
Your video is great but I really don’t like most of these scooters. Why? Because they are either not much faster than my bicycle and/or they look girly. I could live with the Vespa because the more powerful scooters have a bumped out rear wheel wheel well that makes it look a little manly.
When are these companies going to make a 3 answer for people that have a balance pro tem or handicapped ? When that happens i will buy one right away !!!!
The first production vehicle that FORD made was electric, the 25 mile TopSpeed and 25 mile range, then the ford model T came out four-cylinder with 25 miles a gallon Ask Jay Leno and that was fossil fuels And not much has improved since then in terms of combustible engines
The #12 bike GoGoRo 2 from Taiwan is not 1,300 dollars like he says in this video. It's between 3 and 4 thousand dollars depending where you buy it. Misleading information.
Too bad some of these moped like scooters have strict regulations where I live. You need insurance, registration, windshield mount, mva tags, and Drivers License.
