Cool videos! I’m from NH an i got myself a Dualtron x2.. I watched you n a few other guys on scooters an i said I have to get me one and i sure did.... thanks to you... Can you believe I had a kick scooter with little mountain tires an i loved it but never road an electric scooter Then I saw your videos an more videos etc... You made the Dualtron x2 look small lol I’m only 5”10 so I think it’s a lot of scooter for me but I love it I never ever got on one an this is my very first scooter first ride first everything... Go big or go home... lol I don’t think I’ll ever hop on anything else after this one... I was looking at the RION 90 an WEPED SS ss but was not feeling it cuz they did not look comfortable range etc. Heard about Minimotors in California in all the videos an that’s where I got it cuz of the good feed back about John an Cooper... Thank you stay safe... 👍
Mannnnn @J Unicorn... people like you are the kind of Scootopians I do this for... I am so glad that I played a pivotal role in you owning what I and many consider the BEST overall eScooter on the planet. I am always pleased hearing the responses from people I introduce to John and Cooper and they build the same organic relationship that I've come to enjoy with them and the whole #MiniMotorsUSA Staff and Team. You are right you went BIG but most importantly, you really don't have to buy another eScooter because the Duatron X 2 is soooo complete. Be sure to stay connected @J Unicorn. My hope is that you are already SUBSCRIBED... make sure you also tap the BELL so that you can stay up to date with all my Power Scooter Content, the latest eScooter Trends, Improvements and News. Congratulations my friend you did what many only wish or dream they could... "Own a Dualtron X 2"

Great video. Who did you get your Storm through? I'm also in Socal and I'm dying to get one. Any suggestions you could provide would be such an amazing help.
Hey @The PhotogFather... glad to hear you are considering a Dualtron. They are in fact the most consistent best made eScooters in the Industry (over 20yrs of excellence). Of course everyone knows that I only recommend the BEST Vendors (those who take really good care of the Consumer). I HIGHLY Recommend John, Cooper and their amazing Team over at MiniMotorsUSA.com. Tell them that OhManDan sent you and they will definitely roll out the red carpet for ya!! I bought all my Dualtron eScooters from them and there is no better Vendor you can partner with in your purchase of a high performance eScooter. The Dualtron Storm is an incredible eScooter... you will be thrilled, I Guarantee you of that. It is really powerful, has a fast take off and plenty torque for pulling as well. Very stable stem and great traction. Be sure to Subscribe to this Channel, Like my videos and tap the Bell to stay up to date on the latest eScooter Trends, Improvements and News.
Hi @Harun, That is a great question. Though I feel the improved Stem Lock Mechanism, Handlebar Locking Mechanism and Control Arms makes a considerable difference in the stability and handling of this Scooter. I have not experienced any Stem speed Wobble, however these "single pole Stems are not my favorite" because they tend to not handle the dips, small manhole covers, cracks and bumps in the road without compromising its stability. Seems as though with these type of stems, that no matter how good the locking mechanisms, the Stem itself just can't handle the shock. I'm not sure that the Steering Damper would make much of a difference since as I have gone 58mph without Stem Wobble on a smooth street but on dippy, uneven roads the Stem displays its natural characteristic. The Dualtron X and Wolf Warrior in my opinion- with those heftier Stems... offer total stability (speed, nor uneven terrain impact them negatively). That all said, I'm still testing the Storm and will give my FULL OHvation Rating soon but so far, I really like the Dualtron Storm, and would say if a Steering Damper would make you feel more secure on uneven terrain... go for it (do add one to yours), it will only make your ride that much more pleasurable. The Dualtron Storm is definitely worth its value and worth having. It's a LOTTA FUN Harun. Call my friends- John and Cooper over at MiniMotorsUSA.com and tell them OhManDan recommended you and they will roll out the red carpet for you. I love these Guys, their excellent customer service, their professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, always answer the phone- ALL... CAUSES ME to RECOMMEND them HIGHLY. I bought all my Dualtron Scooters from them, plus they are USA local- right in beautiful San Francisco.
How do you like the Acceleration and fast start on your Dx1 or the storm, did you tweak it a little to curb the aggressiveness on the start, or you simply got used to it.
Actually, I prefer the fast start, as opposed to the slower settings. I feel the same about my experience riding the SST Weped and the Rion Thrust. Of course if you own a DTX, you know that the stability of that Scooter is like nothing you've ever ridden. It's a total freak of nature. Totally STABLE at ANY high speed. The DTX is literally the BEST Electric Scooter I have ever ridden.
I recently bought Dx2, got it last week, and I am still getting adjusted to the speed it's a little different from my Cycleboard Rover, this is the real thing, more like a motorcycle, thank you for the very helpful videos you posted.
@@cassandreams Congratulations! You own the King of the Road. No body out there will ever take that from any DTX Owner. I won't get my DTX2 until Jan. I love the improvements especially the 2" addition to the stem height (I'm 6' 1" tall).

@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan Hey man I'm gonna order the Thrust soon and just saw you mentioned it here, so I was wondering how did you feel about the acceleration curve of it - I'm wondering 'cause there is yet to be seen any data on the Watts for performance or detailed Amps-information the controllers can shoot so I'm a bit worried the acceleration could be way different from what I'm expecting from a scooter at that price level. I just can't see why Rion almost seems to hide that information specifically only about the Thrust on the whole internet; it's quite frustrating. Anyway thx man.
Hey @Oneknightstand7... thanks for visiting Scootopia. I hope you enjoy my Consumer based Videos, If so... be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my Channel so that you don't miss any of my Power Scooter Content. I gotta lotta New stuff Coming your WAY. So Stay Tuned Buddy. Congratulations on the purchase of your New Storm LTD, it is an impressive machine on paper and I am pushing hard for it to live up to its CLAIMS... heck, it's a Dualtron so that puts us a good 50% (I don't wanna go over even though they really do deserve a higher percentage, I'll leave room for the tests) in the direction of it living up to their claims... just because of their stellar reputation for great quality builds, durability, reliability and safety. I'm almost sure,, we (all of us who have purchased a Storm LTD) should be very happy with our Storm LTD purchases
Hi sir, how are you? Im Fabio, from Argentina. I like to ask you about the range of the Storm. Im using the Dualtron X and i thinking to change it for the storm. I know that the dualtron X is best but i need a more compact size but im worry about the range. So i saw that you had both models. So i want you head your opinion. Im using the X around 2 times a week (around 60kms per day). Thanks a lot! Sorry for my engish is not good.
Congratulations @Wipp90ttv... I am glad you received your New Dualtron Storm. Remember- Safety Always First. Visit our Website for any further Scooter Info: www.WestCoastScooters.org.
You're the first person who noticed them. They really got my attention when I saw them because I was going to pay $269 per light for similar looking lights and then I saw these on Amazon for $36 and figured I have nothing to lose by trying them. When they came they were made of high quality metal, wired with waterproofing battery casing, heat resistor and a red blinking rear light that I like to put on the front for more visibility. The light is called: LAFALINK Bike Light. It is 10,000 Lumens with three settings. 4hrs on 10k lumens, 6hrs on flash light mode, and 10hrs for low light. It is really really bright. I tested it last night and it was like having on high beams. I don't understand how they're able to sell it at such a low price. The materials look to cost at $80 each (looks very high quality) Here's the link: www.amazon.com/gp/buyagain/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_ba_page
Hey James, Did you check out our website? We really love Helping those less fortunate and using our Scooters to do it! Check out our site here: www.WestCoastScooters.org
Hey @Chi Jeul Chung... Thanks Buddy. I actually decided to keep them stiff. Works best for my weight. Doesn't feel as stiff as before. I've taken her up to the Mountains and several places since the initial ride and it is really good right now. If you weigh close to my weight (226lbs) I would leave the stiff cartridges on it. If still too stiff, then I would suggest the medium (don't go all the way to soft).
I was going to get the X2 but at the last minute decided to save some money and get the storm. Anyhow, I saw your video going up to Griffith observatory. Hope to see you there soon. : ) - p.s.your trailer is awesome!
Thanks@@runwithdaisy I will be adding lots of interesting content that will inspire and hopefully stir juices in every Scootopian watching to become the safest, wisest, and giving eScooters on the planet. The kind who care about others and can use their love for Micro eMobility to help build this evolving form of transport into the Global Transportation it deserves. Stay connected my Friend we are building a unique Scootciety of Scootopians who's passion will take us far because we built a sustainable eco system for this form of transportation. I will be planning some National Rides that we all can participate in without the struggle of transporting our eScooters to cross country destinies. Keep your eyes open and ears to the ground for updates and how we all can participate...
cant wait till the storm limited releases an absolute goliath 84v / 45ah / 11.5 kw peak power / 74+ mph top speed its an absolute titan of a scooter theres also the thunder 2 which is not as insane but still, a monster in its own right!!!
Hey @GitDatPC... Congratulations on the arrival of your New Storm Limited. Don't give up on it, it's actually a fun Scooter once you get use to ALL that Torque, Power and Speed. It can be threatening if you're not use to HyperScooters... Just take it slow and get to know her like none other before and your love affair will take on new meaning... I liken that squarewave Power to Scooters... what Harley Davidsons are to Motorcycles.

@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan You rock! 😀 Thank you sir 👍 I'm going to dial the settings all the way down and be in Eco mode for awhile. I'll let you know how it goes
Yes @@GitDatPC, please keep me posted. Who did you buy from? MiniMotors or VORO? I'm sure you told them that OhManDan sent you, and they took good care of You, right?
@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan VORO, but my scooter arrived with the rear fender brace was snapped in two 😔 They're mailing out a replacement part though 🙌 I was also getting rubbing on the front rotor but I watched another one of your videos on how to fix that 🙂👍 Now I just seem to have a lot of vibration, like the tires are out of balance. Researched that issue and that's apparently a normal thing for e-scooters? Does your Storm Limited vibrate at all? I'm not riding mine yet. This is just with it propped up for testing. Thanks for all of your help and quality content 🍻
@@GitDatPC hey Buddy... I'm glad they are taking good care of you. No it shouldn't be Vibrations under load (wait 'til you ride it and check for Vibrations under your load) if so then you may not have proper tire pressure. Check your PSI and make sure you pump the right amount (never more but you can go 4PSI lower, no more) Make sure you charge it up in the morning when you're awake. Never charge without being around to monitor (that means no running to the store, no sleeping, or no outside bar b que'ing)queuing. Check that all screws are tight, folding lock mechanism Clamps are tight, Damper is tight then in the morning start your charge. It's going to be at least 10hrs unless you have a good amount of charge already.
I don't know which one you're referring to Jerson but in context to the video you're watching, I would say the STORM. I have taken the STORM to 58mph and it was very stable. The new Stem Lock, Handlebar Locking Mechanism, Control Arm union with BLDC Motors and Swing Arm has a lot to do with that improved stability from the Thunder.

Hey @Beat and Run... thanks for visiting Scootopia. If you like my Videos make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my Channel so that you don't miss any of my eScooter Content. You have to still keep in mind that choosing the right Scooter isn't based on BEST because ONLY the factors of individual NEED determine what Scooter is BEST for a person. There is no BEST Scooter (only those that MEET the purchaser's NEEDS become THEIR best) That being said and always considered first... Choosing an eScooter for (Big Dawg) Riders who are tall, heavy, have big feet and/or hands must in addition to NEEDS... meet certain criteria, like having: 1. A larger DECK 2. Wider Handle Bars 3. A larger load capacity 4. Have bigger Grips 5. Have Power/Torque 6. Have Quality, Strong Durable suspension 7. Have 11" or larger Pneumatic Tires 8. Have reliable breaks With at least 160mm Rotors 9. Depending on Arm length, unique sized Stems. For example, I have very long arms So 40" Stems work very good for me. If your arms are shorter than my 82-83" span may need a taller Stem. It's all RELATIVE to the Rider and that particular Rider's physical make-up.
Greetings @Ibrahima Jau, thanks for visiting Scootopia. 2021 has been an incredible eScooter Season and I have bought several New 2021 Models. There is a lot of new and exciting Content coming your way... If you like my Videos make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my Channel so that you don't miss any of my eScooter Content. No, I have never had my controllers overheat and blow up. The Dualtron Storm is an incredible Electric Scooter with a lot of torque and speed. I bought mine from MiniMotorsUSA.com. As a matter of fact, I bought all four of my Duatrons (Thunder, Storm, Duatron X1 and Dualtron X2) from John and Cooper over at MiniMotors USA... they are very consistent with providing A-1 Customer Service and always ship on time. Tell them that OhManDan sent you and they will definitely roll out the red carpet for you Buddy.
You should contact the guys where I bought all my Dualtron eScooters from (MiniMotorsUSA.com) ask for John or Cooper. Tell them OhManDan had you reach out to them and I can promise you that they will roll out the red carpet for you @Shane De Groot. These guys are the most trusted, most honest, most reliable and absolutely the best Vendors in the business. I won't buy a Dualtron eScooter from anyone else... and I will NEVER recommend Vendors (and they all know me) or any business to Scootopians without proving their 100% commitment to the Scootopian Consumer.
Hello dan l am thinking about getting a dualtron storm your the first person on RU-vid I have seen with this scooter they have not arrived in Britain yet so l would like to ask are you going to do a full road test on this scooter and say the good and bad things about the storm it would really help me to decide if this scooter is the right one for me thank you
Hey Andrew, thanks for your comment. I just completed that Video last night and will be uploading it tonight. You have to stand by for the Interesting Final Facts when I give its Official "OHvation Rating"
@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan thank you for replying so quickly I will wait with bated breath, and look forward to your conclusion on the Storm, they are supposed to be in this country in December but they did say September so who knows . I thank you and stay safe .( water ingress is my biggest worry )
We'll get someone comfortable enough to give us an opportunity to compare Scooters head to head unless a manufacturer feels confident in their Scooter and want to send us one. We will test it against another comparable Scooter.

Hey @Michael Hearring... thanks for visiting Scootopia. If you like my Videos make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my Channel so that you don't miss any of my Power Scooter Content. This Scooter has a lotta Torque that gives it a very aggressive take off. If you like high settings and immediate power, this will be a great fit for you but if you think you will want a more tamed take off, I will suggest that you wait until the New Dualtron Line Up comes out (the New Dualtron Storm LTD, and the New Dualtron Thunder 2) I know that if you have a problem with the kinda torque that the current Storm has, that that power will become a real problem for you later but if you truly love (like me) that immediate aggressive power, that you will like the current Storm.
@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan Of course I’m subscribed to your channel, you’ve got some of the best reviews out there. You help me decide on the Dualtron Storm which I ordered today. I’ll turn the power settings down to help control some of the torque. Hoping to get it by next week will let you know.
@@michaelsperspective3646 Cool Buddy. Thanks for the SUB. You are definitely an Official Scootopian now because of your SUB. Congratulations, you will truly love the Storm. I hope you don't have buyers remorse with the new one coming in November for a thousand more dollars... Did you get yours from Voro or MiniMotorsUSA?
@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan I can’t afford another thousand dollars, I already had to sell my soul to my wife and she’s already putting a plan in action. The storm should be fine especially at my age. Just looking for some thing with a little bit of range a bit of speed with a lot of durability.
wow is it just me or this scoot was constantly wobbling from @ 12:01 ...some crazy wobbles right there and the road looked silky smooth, the rider had to slow down when he realized how bad them wobbles are coming... i think we have another wobbly winner by minimoto usa....
I guess it depends on what you call wobble... there is absolutely no speed wobble. The stem is really stable. However, if you know Irvine (as you imply) you know that the roads in Irvine are quite uneven with many potholes. There are places that any smart rider will and should adjust where road conditions are unsafe. I've been riding long enough to judge when and how those adjustments are implemented as every experienced Rider shall and will. Thank you for your input but it isn't the Scooter, it's road condition and My safe judgement where ever they may exist... I will ALWAYS err on the side of caution and LIVE to RIDE another day. Hopefully you make similar judgements when riding your high powered eScooters (never pressured by anyone to risk your life for their thrills)

Make a review about DUALTRON EAGLE lots of people are interested of this model because mostly we can afford to buy thats why we are looking a review of eagle not an super expensive scooter.
Hi @Metro Lima... thanks for visiting Scootopia. If you like my Videos make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my Channel so that you don't miss any of my eScooter Content. Thank you for your suggestion. Of course everyone knows that OhManDan is the "Power Scooter" expert (buying EVERY Power Scooter I have, so as not to be beholden to any Vendor or Manufacturer) but recently I decided to start reviewing the Entry Level, Budget, Commuters and Mid Range Performance variants of Scooters. The issue was that I will not buy these smaller Scooters (and needed to have conversations with all the Vendors and Manufacturers about the Terms of them sending these smaller Scooters for Review that will not compromise my raw, honest, unbiased and transparent reviews, seeing I will ONLY be receiving them and returning them back to the Vendor) however there has been conversations and everyone knows that ONLY send these if they think their Scooters are up to receiving OhManDan's raw honest professional critiques and willing to look optimistically in order to repair any issues and present a better product. I will speak to John & Cooper over at MiniMotorsUSA.com and let them know about the Eagle.
Yes, there load capacity is 330lbs. Do you have long arms because the stem may be a tad too short. I'm 6'1" and 220lbs but with long arms. So the stem is not a problem for me.
Hey Casilacofspokane... I'm sorry it looked that way to you but there definitely weren't any type of wobble. I think what you saw at those higher speeds were me going over several uneven pavements. If you look closely, you will see the many tarred asphalt surfaces in those areas that appeared to be wobble (and like on any Scooter, just the retracting after going over such raised repaired tar surfaces). I took it to 58mph without any wobble what so ever.
@@casilacofspokane how much do you weigh? That will determine how fast you go and at a lighter weight, say 110 to 140lbs you may experience less traction on that front tire. Not wobble but it can affect control on take off. So you may want to experiment with the P Settings for slow start and see how it feels to you. It really takes off aggressively. Now if you're like me, you know how to equalize the aggressive take off...
@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan i weigh 240, I have a D3 and a spider limited and came from a ninebot max. I was blown away with dualtron can’t wait for the storm.
@@casilacofspokane Ok, you are right there with me. I'm 222lbs. You are going to love the Storm. The stem is aa little short at 38" from the deck. So if you are taller than me, it might be a little uncomfortable, I'm 6' 1" tall.

@@SCOOTOPIAbyOhManDan dan you ever find out about fixing top speed 46mph is definitely not right when there stating 62mph that is definitely bs thanks for video I will keep watching
@@markmcginleu4929 yes the manufacturer said that they are not experiencing those same outcomes in warmer climates and have only had those complaints in cooler climate areas. They suggest we take our eScooters out when the climate is warmer in our geographical locations. That said... I know a lot of us have ridden our eScooters in different climates and never really noticed any difference. I do know that on my subsequent rides that the weather was cooler. I really don't have a big problem with my Storm averaging 47-52mph because my weight typically gives me 50-55mph on my eScooters that are made to exceed 60mph. Most Riders are aware that speed and range varies per rider based on the rider's weight, road conditions, weather, "P" Settings, and windage. The issue most have is their suggestion of 62+mph. All I can say at this point is that I really like the Storm and its many many Pros outweighs the speed con. I have several eScooters of different Brands and I have never gotten their suggested speed maximums. But I have always gotten close enough that its not been a major concern. I will be a little more conscious of the climate the next time I take her out to see if my Storm gives me any higher outcome but I am going to keep my Storm because I really like it Mark. Hope this helps.
Hey @Blacsheep19... thank you for visiting Scootopia. Be sure to Subscribe to my Channel to stay up to date with all my Power Scooter Content Nooooo this video is not my Top Speed Test. It's just a ride. That 44mph you see is a cruising speed. I wasn't trying to get top speed on this video. My Storm top speed was 58mph out the box and 49mph after that.
