great video Tim, I have a one wheel electric board, glad I brought this over an electric skate board, it's not for commuting, the fun factor you said about the scooter and the smile on your face is exactly what I get from the one wheel pint, also portability into coffee shops is great. I ride distances on a pushbike, not electric, but am getting the EV bug and want more. I read the comments below, looks like unless you're commuting long distances ( these days the Merth RS pro can do 80 to 100 kays so I don't think distance is even an issue now) both will do the job, but most comments below are highly in favour of the scooters, fun factor, cheaper and portability appear to win the race. You made the choice much easier. Thanks Mate. Ken. Australia

I'm choosing an ebike over an electric because I'm planning on using it as my daily driver for in city stuff. While I'll have to buy multiple locks and chains to secure it, I'll be able to go to doctor appointments, buy groceries from stores, and travel around on a vehicle that I'm more familiar with. I currently don't have a car and the used car market is horrible right now, so ebike is the best choice for me. I've been walking around town, getting driven by family/friends if the walk is over 3 miles, and taking Uber instead, but that has been much cheaper for me than buying a car. I think an ebike will allow me to travel easier without having to pay from expensive insurance+ maintenance. I bought a RadWagon 4 a couple days back after scouring the internet for an affordable ecargo bike and I hope that it will fulfill my needs as a daily commute ebike and a bike I can use to buy groceries and other goods.

@gunstargizmo 11 месяцев назад

I tried to take my scooter into Walmart in Edmonton, and they told me I had to leave it outside. Few stores allow bikes and scooters inside. I find ebikes have more practical purpose and greater versatility. I can load stuff on a bike, and I can use it during winter without having to worry about the cold draining the battery and leaving me stranded. Ebikes are better on slick surfaces, and with fat tires, you don't need suspension on rough terrain. Scooters are great for leisure, but if you're looking for something that isn't seasonal and can do more than go from one place to another, an ebike is the way to go.

@TimsElectric 11 месяцев назад

Awesome @gunstargizmo, thanks for sharing :) Sorry to hear that the Walmart didn't let you in with the scooter...very odd, I've not been refused before ....maybe email the manager or go and speak with the manager and explain that you'd like the scooter to be there when you come out :)

@@TimsElectric They let me keep it inside the main doors, but not the store itself. I've never seen anyone in the store with anything other than a mobility scooter. The scooter was only 22kgs so someone could just lift it from inside since there's no where to secure it. Now I have a 41kg ebike that needs to be carried to steal. Still, I'd never leave my scooter or bike alone for longer than 15mins.

I wanted to add, that, since the freight is also half of the motive power on ebikes, the range for one with a similar battery to scooter is 2-3 times longer (there are some scooters with massive batteries out there...if you are willing to shell out a few thousand bucks 😉) I had an ebike for a while, but recently got an escooter. I have decided to return to an "analog" bike, and keep the scooter - but that's just my preferences in my situation.

@andr386 Год назад

With an electric bike you can build up your cardio very slowly. Eventually the range increases dramatically. People e-scooter for very short distances. Usually distances they could walk easily. I admit I have little love for the e-scooter. But it's also more light vehicle on the road and actually encourages authorities to imagine a different kind of urbanism.

An honest question, what would you do if your electric scooter were to run out of battery? do you HAVE to push it or can you just use it like how you would use a manual kick scooter?

@Dean Gully great question. Yes you can kick it like a non electric scooter...but with the bigger heavier ones I'd call for a lift lol ...or walk it home which I've done once before :) :)

@glennover6046 7 месяцев назад

I just bought a Splach Titan and couldn't wait for it to arrive. On my first ride, I was stunned by how hard it was to get used to. Specifically, the throttle, brakes, and stability. For the throttle, I mean, you barely squeeze the trigger and ZOOM, off it goes, even in single mode. I live in a hilly area and the first time I went down a hill I was staggered when the regen brakes kicked in. Like the throttle, the power onset is not gradual at all. Now, when I go downhill, I start braking and keep the brakes on during the whole decent. Another feature where I live is roundabouts. With no turn signals and added instability by riding with one hand using the other to signal, there is no way I'm going to attempt to navigate a roundabout. So, I wind up pushing the scooter around until my exit. For me at least, any fun factor is pretty much completely mitigated by the fear factor. Anyone wanna buy a slightly used Splach Titan 10? 🙂

@taz24787 Год назад

Hey Tim, I have always wondered on the durability of e-scooters. I haven't had the experience, but one can just imagine that with tiny wheels on a stiff platform and no suspension system, the structure couldn't last long. Am I right? Then, with the pedal assistance, the batteries from e-bikes should require less frequent charging cycles and last longer. Being many times the battery 50% of the cost of the e-scooter or 30% of the cost of the e-bike. Is this correct? I have been using a regular bike for commuting (8 miles each way), and I'm thinking on turning it electric for less effort.

@TimsElectric Год назад

you're logic is sound :) however the timeline might be off. Let me explain. I have scooters that have 3000 K and more on them..no issues at all. So I expect them to wear out faster than an ebike but it might take years...time will tell :) On a side note...once you've tried an ebike or electric scooter....riding a regular bike will seem like a chore. It's odd...with a regular bike it always seemed like the wind was against me both ways and the hills were steep each way lol but with these units...it's like surfing :) love it :)

@m9078jk3 8 месяцев назад

Ebikes are healthier as they are a form of semi active transportation in which one can get doctor recommended aerobic exercise on but Escooters have a place for micro mobility as they can often be taken into offices and many times doctor offices. I do have a nearby large grocery store (a Fred Meyer store) that permits me to take my ebike right into the store and use it just like a shopping cart but they probably permit me to do so as I am elderly (age 65) and disabled physically (heart patient with COPD). Personally I own two ebikes (one designed specifically for riding in rainy weather without me getting wet at all and another one for good weather conditions). I am looking at getting a Escooter when I have the funds for one.

@TimsElectric 8 месяцев назад

Awesome @m9078jk3, wise words indeed...I do use my escooters as a shopping cart when I do grocery shopping (I just place the basket on the deck and it balances perfectly), but haven't tried pushing an ebike through a grocery store :) best of luck with the hunt for an escooter and if you need help do reach out :)

@thelonercoder5816 Год назад

Ebikes are better if you care more about distance and power. Escooters are better if you care more about mobility. I own an ebike and escooter. I use my ebike when I have to go anything over 5 miles in distance and need to get some place quickly. However, for short trips to the store, I use my escooter. Also I prefer to use my escooter if i'm going to visit someone so I can easily fold it up.

@@TimsElectric depends on the scooter you're using. I cannot see myself realistically riding an escooter faster than 20 mph (otherwise it feels unsafe) and to do anything close to what you can do on a bike. I feel safe riding an ebike up to 40 mph, can offroad an ebike, and can do stunts that escooters would struggle to do because of the small wheels.

the usefulness of the unpowered kick scooter is extremely under rated. they are by far the best "last mile" mobility device in a dense pedestrian populated city. They throw over your shoulder to go anywhere with you, require very little energy to move you further and faster tha nwalking, but are incredibly nimble and can be stopped on a dime. ive in san francisco and have bicycles, motor scooters (gas and electric) and have used e-skateboards and a bunch of other small mobility devices. the unpowered kick scooter gets the most use.

which one is funner to ride?

@TimsElectric 9 месяцев назад

scooters ...100%

@BryceA-fe5et 8 месяцев назад

Subjective. :) Comfort is a large factor. Larger wheels are way more safe.

@julesramel2487 6 месяцев назад

My commute to work involves a very long descending hill. I'd say at most a mile. Sometimes a little snow as well. How do the ebikes do on hills is my concern. 🤔

@TimsElectric 6 месяцев назад

Awesome question @julesramel2487, I have a similar hill up to the university here in town...long and usually has the wind against me. Both will tackle the hill but I find that ebikes are usually better on hills as you can add your own pedal power to the equation. So my advice would be an Ebike :) ....as long as you have somewhere safe to lock it up :)

@drill_fiend1097 Год назад

Absolutely eBike. Hell I would say even an electric motorcycle is better. eScooters lack gyroscopic stabilization.

@TimsElectric Год назад

I wonder if they will offer gyroscopic stabilization on Ebikes or Escooters in the future?

@drill_fiend1097 Год назад

@@TimsElectric it's possible to add flywheel, but that's gonna increase weight and less efficient. eScooters without signal lights are dangerous since it's not easy to give a hand signal without holding onto the handle with two hands. Almost had a close call when it lost balance on me.

@Niels_f2704 Год назад

@@TimsElectric There’s no clear answer to this but here they do not put them under the same category as eBikes. Instead they put it under the same category as fully motorized vehicles that require an insurance and you to own a drivers license to be able to legally drive them. Safety is also a huge factor as they have to go through several safety tests, however they never succeeded to be safe enough for our busy roads.

@TimsElectric Год назад

@@Niels_f2704 sorry to hear...I love riding them....yesterday we had three riders went about 20kms on the bike lanes, not too fast, just cruising and it was lovely...sorry to hear the govt where you are didn't see the bigger picture as there are riders that can't use ebikes and bicycles...on the other hand the use of bikes in the Netherlands is awesome to see :)

Today's e-scooters go much longer and farther than an E-bike, and much much faster.

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

Can you imagine what the batteries will be like in Ebikes/Escooters and ECars in a few years? It's pretty amazing already :)

@markmurto Год назад

@@TimsElectric The various DMVs try to regulate e-bikes and make fake classes1,2,3 which police try to be revenue agents for. With e-scooters, it's much easier to travel here and there. How long do you think it's going to take for the DMVs to jump on scooters? People already try to hide their bikes being e-bikes by disguise. But e-scooters and boards are obviously not disguisable. No one can push a scooter to 40mph by foot.

Oh I picked scooter over ebike why? Before the e bike came I had a regular bike. Keep the story short my bike got stolen TWICE that's 2 bikes!! There's where I lost my interest on them and move to scooters. The BIGGEST PROBLEM with ebike nowadays they get stolen very easily you can't even leave it there for more than 1hrs. The BIGGEST advantage of scooters is they're HARDER to steal you need a key plus a card also lock it with your cellphone with GPS and you can remove your batteries. Also scooters needs a instructions manual to start. Something bike thief just cannot do manually on bike dedal HAHAHA! Also if your car broke down you can use your scooter a bike just cannot do that. Because they don't fit in the trunk of the car. Also if I want to work out exercise i just go to gym with my scooter. If you leave your ebike outside the gym for JUST more than 1hr most likely will get stolen. Oh my scooter is MERCANE MX60 is for heavy folks and waterproof.

@TimsElectric Год назад

awesome comment ...five stars...locking ebikes in this town is like going to the casino :) You win it's still there when you get out of the gym...I wouldn't risk it :) Plus I push my scooter through stores all the time...no issues...but the ebikes...I'm pretty sure someone would stop me lol :)

@TimsElectric Год назад

oh and Pro tip...when you get into the grocery store grab a basket and put it on the scooter and push it around...it's practically a shopping cart without a squeaky wheel :)

I really love my scooter i will bury it next to my grave. Bike thief is BIG PROBLEM nowadays they're attracted to ebike that's why I'm not even going to spend thousands of dollars on ebike if only going to get stolen. I already spent thousands of dollars on my Mercane mx60 scooter I'm glad my investment is safer than ebike.

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. ru-vid.comUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
