Currus NF | A CRAZY Transformer-like electric scooter, Review and FPV ride 

Thank you, we have fun for sure! Definitely want to do more interesting ride videos in the future.

Can't wait for someone to do a scooter transformers CGI movie! Tens of us will watch it!

Yeah, definitely awesome when you get chances to interact with the community. It would be a nice wholesome video if I were able to capture all of these moments in a single compilation video. 🤔

@@AlienRides HMMM...goooood idea.... *We both rush to get our cameras*

Good point, definitely want a vibrant future for electric scooters. Thanks for chiming in.

I run all the red lights and stop signs on my mighty thunder, dream big and live on!!

The currus definitely has a nice looking design, looking forward to some iteration on it.

Thanks for the feedback! Always nice to hear what people like :)

Hah, can’t wait for the Currus AF model to come out.

Thank you! They are the new kids on the block so we need to see how it holds up with time, but so far it seems really solid indeed.

For those of us in the USA, Kilometer per hour is unfamiliar

Good point, I generally actually try to use both when talking. For the speedometer though, I'm not against using KMH, or I'll see i I can use both. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

@carlos esteban This isn't the UK though. It's up to him what he choses to do, but I watch many international scooter reviews and the only guy who tries to accommodate both sides of the water from over there is Ben Fox. Everyone else on that side and a few reviewers from US always give measurements in Km or Kmh and I have to keep looking the numbers up. It should be mutual consideration in my opinion.

Yeah, they did a good job for sure!

Thank you! It's simple, but a lot of iteration went into it and it will help us expand the brand. 👽🖖

Good question! Generally you will have a warranty period for a while after purchasing a scooter with the seller. After that you can generally get replacement parts, like a motor, controller, battery, etc. Luckily these are much more simple than gas engines; so catastrophic failures aren’t too common.

It's definitely a nice little ride! :alienRides:

Yup, definitely want quality to continue to improve. Currus does a lot of things right, and seems like they might care about quality. Hope they keep working on improving as well.

Possibly some more shadiness involved than I explained, but hey, business is war? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, they are pretty sizeable for sure. If you want to fit it in a trunk, I think the NF would be your best bet. Also check out our video on the Currus panther if you haven't: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJJIS6U9Y_M.html

@@AlienRides Thanks

Hello. Personally I would like the deck to be a bit longer, but it is a very comfortable ride. Maybe it depends on how tall you are though? How tall are you? I'm about 6' tall. I do think it's pretty stable at high speed, and the suspension soaks up most bumps you'll encounter. No idea what MiniMotors plan is for this model in the future. Good luck with your choice!

Thanks for feedback. 🛴💪

@Jean Paul Outdoors disculpa fue que hubo muchos errores ortograficos en mi pregunta Y la pregunta es la siguiente Cuanto es el valor precio u coste del monopatin ......

Yes, the thumb vs twist vs finger throttle battle will never end. 👽🖖

@@AlienRides well I can see why they might think thats good but from experience, your thumb is more controlled vs your fingers when you hand is locked in that position.

Yeah, it is beautiful riding around the bay. It's pretty heavy at 106 lbs, but there is a lot to it. They say IP55 for the water resistance. 👽🖖

@@AlienRides thanks again sir love your channel and thanks again for your response

Yeah, the keyed ignition is the same used on several models, like the 10X as well. I should've definitely removed the second key though. Having *some* security measure like a key or remote is really nice.

Thank you!

Hey! Yes I believe a more compact Weped is coming out later this year, but a delivery date is not certain. You most likely wouldn't be able to get it until December. If you're fine waiting that could be a good option. Nothing wrong with the GT50E though, it's still using the latest cells and is a pretty good size IMO. (I'm afraid that the new compact Weped might be too small). Gotta plug that Currus could also be a good option since this is a Currus video 😆

Yeah, better than GoPro, but still not perfect :(

I've seen that kickstand and it looks awesome, but I'm not sure where you can buy it from. Personally I'd check with freemotionshop.com since they sell the Currus, maybe they can help you out.

Thank you! ⚡️💪

Check out some of my recent videos on the Weped SS or Rion RE80, both are awesome machines. Both are also $4k though. Expensive, but super fast and fun.

@@AlienRides Thank you.👍

Having ridden both the Eagle Pro and NFI can say that both are really great scooters. Personally I say if you like the look of the Currus, go with that one. They handle similarly and you can modify either one to handle better (like better tires, a damper, etc).

Hello! For $1,600 you start to have some decent options for monster scooters. Zero 10X is great, and I also just did a video on the mantis which could be a good option. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--2Bxlu8_m8E.html

Yep mantis is very good. But get the one with 25ah battery. They have it on sale for $1,900

Thanks for the support, we will get there! 👊

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll probably be doing a few more videos on the Currus in the future, so I apologies to your eyes if you see more of it and they don't like it. 😬

Thanks for the feedback! Lesson learned, next video will be better :)

I haven't tried many helmets, but I'm generally an XL across many of them, and the Proframe is no different. It does come with some thicker pads as well so you can adjust the sizing a bit. If you like good airflow in a helmet it could be a good choice.

@@AlienRides thanks!!! I'm between Proframe and the Troy Lee Stage which is similar.

I haven't tried it yet, but I would like to. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your scooter!

Hi, I have one too, it's a beast of a machine, 40mph is quick enough when it's full throttle, we need a decent review of this alian rides, I'm sure there is someone near you with one you can borrow. 👍👍 Loving your vids too, watching every one.

That’s awesome, super exciting! Where did you order from? I thought Currus would sell a battery pack as well, but maybe not. I’m unfortunately not familiar with the required battery packs, but maybe someone can chime in.

@@AlienRides very exciting. Can't wait, I will get the scooter in few days but have to wait for lights kits to get them by the 10th or so. I bought them from freemotion. Hopefully we can meet to do some rides..I live in Modesto area.

@@AlienRides question! What you think about the battery capacity on this thing being 28ah 60v..I'm 185lbs guy will I get good speed and range

rocky diesel yeah, 28ah is a large battery, you should get good range. Probably 30 miles or so of maxing it out, and maybe 50+ miles of conservative riding.

@@AlienRides I just got the scooter but I think there is a speed limit thing on it..how do I bypass that and get full speed and power.

Thanks for the request! The Dualtron Compact looks pretty good and I'd love to cover it!

Not cheap, but it's a super fun scooter. Hopefully the prices come down in the future. 👽🖖

It's got a 28 amp hour battery, which is a pretty solid amount of battery. At high speeds you eat it quick though, so that might get you about 25 miles or so. If you go slower, I think you would see about 40 miles of range. Pretty nice little scooter!

No problem, thank you! Hope you enjoyed.

Nice, loving the scooter - hope you're enjoying yours!

Y cuanto te costo? Que rango y velocidad. Soy de granada

El distorsionador murhy unos 3.500€ con el asa y la pata de Cabra si entras en el canal solorueda tienen tienda física en barcelona no te engañan con compras raras y son muy buena gente

El distorsionador murhy 70k/h y 100 kilómetros autonomía aunque se vas a tope y según el recorrido baja a 60 kilómetros

Our weekly baesk8 group ride is about 25 miles or so, and this scooter can just barely finish the whole ride, when riding at top speed and climbing hills.

I believe currently $2,800 USD, but definitely depends on where you live and your local distributors.

The cars? Not always, sometimes less, sometimes a lot more. Regardless it's a great feeling being on a scooter, free of traffic 👽🖖

Thanks for stopping by. This was shot in San Francisco, CA, USA, Earth

Heavy, about 100 lbs or so. I wouldn't want to carry it up stairs.

I hit about 45mph, but I think there was a slight downhill there. Hits 40mph fairly easily for me though.

Like a transformer to me, but everyone interprets things differently! 😅

Thank you for the request, I'll see what we can do. Definitely looks like a stylish and fun ride at first glance.

Yes, we shouldn't be knobs :( Ride safe everyone!

@@AlienRidesWANT TO KEEP WATCHING ALL THE CONTENT DON'T WANT TO SEE RIP ON THE CHANNEL ONE DAY YOU MIGHT BE IN CONTROL BUT YOU NEVER IN CONTROL OF OTHER ROAD USERS. BE SAFE

@@whatcha7354 Thank you, good advice. It is always important to ride defensively because you never know when a car can take you out. Stay safe.

I've hit about 43 mph on thus scooter. It's definitely a nice little package.

That’s cool But scary I have a Segway ninebot es3 and 17 mph is good enough for me 😂

👽🖖

Thunder is great for sure. If you can, I hope you can try a LaCroix board sometime. Awesome machines.

I think you're going to find similar performance compared to the Dualtron Eagle, but it's going to be lighter and slower than the wolf warrior. All are awesome scooters for sure, choosing is the hardest decision!

What do you recomend for the proce range of 2 to 3k? Im in the fence and the more i watch your video the more i get confuse which one to pick😂😂.. thanks 🤙🏼🤙🏼

@@karandelacruz671 Hah, choosing is always the hardest, but I personally recommend buying the biggest scooter you can. For $3k, the Currus NF is a good choice, also maybe the Dualtron 3 or Dualtron Eagle. All of them are pretty awesome and high quality.

Alien Rides thanks alien rides 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Здравствуйте! Очень похоже на Dualtron 3, чувствует себя как хороший скутер. В настоящее время стоит 2800 долларов США. (Переводчик Google) Hello! Very similar to Dualtron 3, feels like a nice scooter. Currently costs $2,800 USD. (Google translate)

Nice, defintiely say hi if you see me again, I'm always out there.

Yes, would love to get my hands on both of those for sure! Though last I heard the Mercane widewheel had some brake issues that they were sorting out. Zero 11X is also supposed to be ridiculously fast.

@@AlienRides Brake Issues, my Alien friend ? :)) More like a folding issue man, which was solved this summer (2019), as well as the braking part. The product is now having brakes for both front and rear wheel (mechanical brakes). I've tested the brakes and they are ok, especially if u are going around 25 kph, u can stop in around 3-4 seconds, but with higher speeds like 40 - 50 kph, and u will need around 5, even 6 seconds to stop for real. The NEW Mercane Wide Wheel is called Pro 2020, and I think is the 3rd Generation of it's kind...basically, is the same (like the previous generation) regarding speed, with double motors, around 50 kph and 50km autonomy, good suspensions etc., but with a few things improved: 1. Better lights, 2. Better folding mechanism, 3. Now having a display for speed.... Finally 😂😂 4. Having a throttle now, not a finger button to press, 5. Brakes for both, the front wheel, and also for the one in the back... Yeah, I think those 5 things are the major changes from the 2019 model. - I've tried one yesterday from a friend of mine who sells those in Europe. - The product it feels nice u know... Somehow like a mini Dualtron 😂 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TBH, I rather have a MERCANE, rather than a HANGHAO, cuz of the stability that Mercane gives me (having 2 forks holding a wheel, not just 1 fork per wheel like on a Hanghao, which I think is a poor design / stability, no...rather a real issue for sure to Hanghao.) The only negative feedback regarding Mercane that I have to give is regarding the deck. Basically, is somehow to narrow, similar to the Weped that u tried in one of your videos. Also, another kinda negative thing to say about Mercane, is that I observed when I am turning left on a bigger angle, u kinda put some pressure on the wire which is connecting with the front wheel. The price for the Best Mercane is around 1k euros with 2 motors, and 13 ah battery , but I saw that they have also 4 - 5 lower versions of the product at just 500 euros for example, with just one motor and 4 or 8 ah. Battery. I've tested it... Is cool for long rides... But for short ones ( going for a 5 - 10 km quick trip ) I rather use my etwow cuz of the portability & weight 😂😂 BTW I done 30.000 km with my etwow booster 5 in the first year of using it, I was amazed that u done only 1k with your dualtron 😂 Thanks for your likes in advance, I've put 10+ minutes in saying my experience here xD Keep on going with the great production Alien, I am watching 90% + of your videos, you have some great roads there in America to.

Papp Sebastian Georgian great review and amazing write-up, hope people find it :) You are riding a lot, that’s awesome! I’m lucky to ride so many different things last year, but no idea how many total km. Probably just averaging 100km per week though.

@@AlienRides 100 km per week is around 5k km per year, not only 1k per year like u said in the past :p Dualtron is the kind of the product u want to ride again and again and again....From your enthusiasm & passion for rides I didn't trusted your 1k km mark per year. :)) U deserve more subs BTW, like 20k or even more... Are u active on fb groups? it would be nice, cuz u can drive more traffic for your cool videos. Perfect Videos in my opinion...and very well made, profesionally. I'm proud of the 4k quality, not many people are doing that u know ;)

Papp Sebastian Georgian hah, yeah I just end up riding so many different vehicles that I borrow and my miles get split across all the scooters. :) Keeps my Dualtron young I suppose. Thank you for the kind words, 20k subs would be awesome and we’re gonna get there some day. Not everyone is a scooter freak like us, but we’re working on changing that! Definitely going to have some crazy videos coming out this year.

Hah, they should totally give these to the stormtroopers.

What's your favorite?

@@AlienRides that would be a large stemed scuter of which it takes a lots of time to make but they should travel far greater distances and last longer

@@AlienRides A large stemed quay scuter is something that will take some time to make but it should travel a great distance

Don’t know if I will ever get millions, but that would be awesome! 🤩 I’ll do my best to respond to some comments of course, but I hear it’s hard.

You would like it. We only need three kidneys for one.

It’s not too bad because it folds and locks folded, but it is a bit heavy though. Much better than my thunder, much harder than a boosted rev.

@@AlienRides Easy to lift, I'll agree, but... ever try to carry a lawn mower very far? :o) I thought I'd be ok carrying my Spider upstairs. I just drive it up instead hehheh

Mac Swanton drive a spider upstairs? 😳 that’s a video I would like to see lol

@@AlienRides well I kick with one foot

I agree, definitely should not do that, but I'm looking forward to more laws like this being passed, which should result in a safer environment for bikes/PEVs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop

Haha yeah, it's not for everyone.

@@AlienRides neah. It's just look bad and that's it.

I hope I can do that one day, I can't yet. 👽🖖

well. Thank you.👍

I'll hope

Design is subjective, so totally fine to not like this one. Which scooter do you like the best?

What should we call it then? 🤔

@@AlienRides A bottle of Ketchup, an airplane or perhaps it's a flying submarine. It's not a scooter.

This one was using a separate GPS logger, still not super accurate unfortunately :( I haven't been able to find a reliable solution, for some reason my GoPro likes to often think I'm going 500 mph 😅
