The Ultimate Electric Scooters Buying Guide 

It's SO much better when vendors do review & explainer videos, than when they are done by influencers! Vendors always know the right questions to ask & have the experience needed to give the right answers.

NOW THAT'S.... A GUIDE!!!!

Hands down BEST buyers guide I've yet to see, awesome job R n' G! I've only just started my scooter journey with an Apollo City Pro and love it for my urban rides throughout Brisbane, Australia (Best capital city down under for urban bike paths & VERY relaxed laws, seriously we are so very lucky!)

First of all, you guys have totally defeated NYC traffic issues. You’re getting a work out while having fun while traveling.. and you’re straight out from the future. you have taken a Group ride and turn it into a music video. And to say a promotion for Eskating is an understatement . And then the way you are experiencing the city is just phenomenal. You guys are on another level .more of this please

Most complete scooter guide I've seen guys. Well done! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll pop in. I used to visit Destination Triumph dealership a few times( 4 miles from your shop) with my street triple. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium. Biiig thumbs up!

I'll give you credit for making a buyer's guide so good that someone like me who already owns an awesome scooter still watched to the end. 😎 Could you do a video about upgrading scooters, battery, display, throttle type, power management system, or for instance fitting fully pneumatic brakes on a scooter with dual wire to caliper brakes? If the difference is worth the time and effort etc. Cheers!

Wow! What an eye opener! A brilliantly detailed guide! Thanks guys!

This is the most comprehensive video that I saw online about the scooters, thanks a lot for this information and the way they are presented, very detailed well done guys.

So glad I found this. In the US, and want to buy scooters for the whole family for fun times. Incredibly informative.

There are so many options to choose from and since my budget is higher I have just been asking people about their scooters and if buying a more expensive more durable scooter is better than slowly upgrading over time. This video was great to watch.

Incredibly useful, thank you for your time and effort in making this video and for being straightforward and factual.

Man, I loved watching this. Have to say I watched so much, I fell asleep an hour in and woke up and rewind it 🤣 thanks. Great video 👍

Fantastic overview! Thank you for the breakdown and nuances of all the scooters.

Superb explanation of the key components. Every new e-scooter buyer should see this as mandatory viewing. Would like to see comparisons on warranty, availability of extended warranty and support reviews as these were also important to me in my buying decision after seeing the issues my son had with his eBike.

I could not stop staring at your manspreading the entire video 😊

Awesome summary. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Who thought he's gonna watch just a tad and got stuck to see it all? Seldom does a vendor know so much of what he sells these days. It was a joy, seems as if you guys make a perfect package

This was immensely informative! An excellent video for someone considering their first proper e-scooter. Well done!

Fantastic general overview of scooters and available options on the market, currently. Good work

This was really awesome. Educational and entertaining. Can't believe I watched the full thing in one seating lol. Make another one!

Finally a complete instruction and no hype guide anyone can understand.

Best informational video I've seen so far for scooters! Well done gentleman 👏 thx

Man, I really appreciate cha it's great how in depth you go, and for newbies like me well, Super Thanks!😅

Oh wowie, glad I found this actual guide, was curious about a lot of this stuff.

Wonderful video guys thank you for your support and advice

the best guide i have seen! much better than those sponsored reviews

This was EXCELLENT!!!! I'm deciding between the Apollo Ghost and the Varla. I think the Varla is similar to the vset 10 he was riding

11:04 The Puncture safety thing inside tyre save me a lot of times on my NinebotG30 scooter. Multiple time i stopped and think im gonna get a flat tyre. Had a 1inch small nail in the back tyre and toke it out, nothing happen. Accidentally driving on glas from crushed bottle on the road 5-6 times, to late for breaking. Driving on 2-10mm tiny sharp gravel rocks all the time, no problem. Drive every day with scooter 1year and around 7000km on it. Never had a flat tyre. Run with 5,5-6bar in the tyre and my weight are 85kg. The tyre cost dubble as a regular without puncture safety thing. But it is sooo worth it.

Best video hands down on scooter guides. I’ve learned so much in one video than I have watching others. Thanks.

Great info for a newbie. Thanks for taking the trouble. Well done. Much appreciated.

comprehensive and well presented, thank you!

That was absolutely phenomenal, thank you! Subscribed

Thanks this is the first video I’ve watched about these. Great info.

I like the Thumb Throttle the best, as it's the same as what they put on Snowmobiles!

I can’t imagine a better intro video. Thank you for sharing this!

This video is AWESOME. Thank you very much for uploading.

Absolutely Excellent video!! Subscribed!!!

You have helped me really understand my scooter and other scooters thanks a lot!!!

Amazing overview, thanks for sharing

Great explanation of everything newbies need to know - I've had an Apollo Ghost for 18 months now, with 2,200 kms on an almost daily commute. One thing that should be asked is "how fast are you prepared to fall off" (personally I'm at 40kph), and watch out for people using earbuds as they can't hear your bell! Would have loved to have seen this vid before I purchased, however no regrets as the ghost I bought with twin x 1000w and hydraulics is a gem here in south west Western Australia. Local Shire committed to a wheelchair access plan many years ago and is definitely favourable to e-scooters!

Yo my man. Awesome possum on the video. A whole lotta tomatoes or tomatos along given out. You took me to school I appreciate you sharing that knowledge. I’m in Los Angeles and I have to find a store that I can purchase my scooter from so that I may touch it, feel it and smell it before I buy it. I’m cancelling my Amazon order right after my thabk uou note. I guess perhaps in LA we use cars a lot more to get around in? Lol. So I’ve had a difficult time finding a store front and test drive one before purchasing one. One silly comment I do have about your video is that you should have a translate button I kept having to rewind due to the neat accent factor. It’s neat to listen to y’all but a little tricky. Hey brother again thabks so much and much luck with to you and the athletic assistant of yours. Hey man I think you should have alternated between takes or you perhaps should add a few clips with you running and the blade runner on the scooter. I’m just saying man. Best of luck.

Wow, i can't believed i watched the whole video and I don't even own an Electric Scooter yet. This is very informative. Thumbs up.

What a great guide! Thanks !

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION! 👍🏼 Awesome job! This blows anything out there.

Awesome video thx for the great indepth video

amazing video, thanks a lot!

Every entity even entertaining engaging electric scooter activities should see this excellent content. The best pre E-scooter riding production ever made. Do yourself favour and watch this video!!!

Freekin amazing info. So much I’ve been wondering about answered.

I have seen tens of videos about e scooters yet this is the only real guide. Thank you very much. Ps thanks to you I got a g3 kukirin.

Awesome reviews and presentation. Thanks!

to help someone decide what scooter they want...I ask these questions: What's your max budget? Onroad/Offroad or both? What's the top speed you want to achieve? What's the range you want to achieve? What is your weight? Now watching your video I see you ask similar questions too ....I really wanted to leave this comment here and congratulate you guys for such a great job you do ...plus I do have experience working with your company and I totally recommend you to all my customers! 5 stars from my side !!!!

That's information I needed, Gracias

Awesome Vid man!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great info, so thanks for the in depth information. I´m having too many punctures on my rear tire and it´s a duel motor with the hubs in two parts. You say it´s common to have more punctures when your heavy due to nipping. I take it you refer to the inner hubs nipping the tube. I have has the sport tires on for some time, yet despite the vibration, maybe should use the offroad ones with thicker pattern´s. It´s a "Nitrox RS3200 V2" and extremely powerful with 87 kilometers/hour recorded on a level road! I however am happier at slower speeds, but am grateful when on paths for that extra push. I was going to try out the "Green slime" as I thought the air loss to be too slow to be the tube every time. I have had to fix the punctures 7 times so far! Hope this gives you a laugh. I liked that thumb power lever too, very nice. Yet I do have to sacrifice weight, as it´s impossible to lift the thing into my van, I had to design a ramp in the end, that works very well. Will subscribe, pity you are not in Sweden.

thanks guys i've been thinking about getting an e scooter and this helps alot

Poetry on every deck is only a small part of this totally top instructive, informative formidable and comprehensive coverage on electric scooters. I am 64, have not ridden a scooter since I was 10 and I need a scooter NOW. Living in the subtropical forest of Australia, step 1 here will be to watch another 20 youtube videos Though they will all pale in the wisdom wake of yours. step 2 Find a shop with a gorgeous range of scooters Step 3 Consult with the expert and consider advice Step 4 Onto the 1st try out scooter and see if I can stand and move and so on. Australia might take a few decades to follow legal advancements in terms of road use. I'm excited.. What a brilliant help your video is. Especially if I can find a shop and my balance. Thank-you

Appreciate you taking the time to do such a detailed guide, nice vid! Btw, do you have any helmet recommendations? I've been hearing about xnito and bern

Great video, very detailed well done guys. I do have a quick question I was looking to purchase a burn e 2 max and I thought the 32 amp one on your website is the 2 max but now seeing this video I see the indicator is only down the side it doesn't wrap around to the back.. so can you confirm which ones you actually have in stock? Thanks

Very comprehensive guide. Well done. Do you know what scooters have a walk assistance mode?

My main question after watching this, is how did you film speedy rides like that? Silent super smooth camera moves around scooter going 40-50 mph???

1st class review. Thank you

I have an Apollo Phantom and was thinking of bumping up the 2 motors from 1200 to 1400 and going to a 12 inch wheel instead of the 10 inch wheels (street tires---no off road). Do you think this can be done? I can rebuild the fenders to make room. Thanks

I just bought the Apollo ghost 2022 with hydraulic brakes. Hope when it’s all good when it shows up 😅

Incredible video.....thank you!

Pls do an instructional video about how to get in, move around and make settings changes in the Nami Burn E 2 max advance settings mode for the different riding modes; it would really be a big help for alot of new Burn 2 max owners and new buyers. I love your videos, I know you would be concise and do a really good job! Thanks....

🙏🏾👑🙏🏾👍🏾☺ This is a Very Good and Informative Video On Scooters. Loved How you Brake Things Down. a lot I Know and It's a lot I have Learn from Watching This Video. So Thanks For Sharing All Of The Information. ☺👍🏾✌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great video. Exactly what I have been looking as I am considering getting a scooter. I’m a heavy guy at 120kg so need it to be strong and have enough torque to maintain a constant 15mph. Just for commuting to work.

That was awesome!!!! Can you do a video on the least expensive scooters?

Tremendous content 🥇👍🏽🌟

I love your video I'm about 45 minutes into it right now. And I've got a question for you. You may or may not cover this in your video by the end. I have a bad back and I'm looking for a personal transportation vehicle for around town and also whenever I go hiking or camping. Because walking causes me a lot of pain after a while. I am looking for a scooter that can go top speed of maybe 40 miles an hour, dual motors for the hiking, but would you recommend a scooter that allows me to sit? Or am I going to have better balance on a scooter standing? My back is not particular to either standing or sitting. And should I avoid thinner tires? I'm thinking the fatter tires would offer better balance for me.

Well done sir, very good guide, 👏👏👏👏

What is your thought about Emov Cruiser scooter . And if you have to compare with the Apollo ghost , what would be your thoughts . My priority is range , Hill Climbing & zero maintenance .

Wow! Yes thanks. Hope us in Colorado don’t have to deal with 500W limits anytime soon. I use mine all the time. Looking for a second scooter soon, this helps a ton!

Everything you need to know about scooter, thanks

Fantastic guide.

I really like this pos I learned so much I knew a lot before I watched this post however this post really put me on I feel like a master scooter rider lol I’m just still learning

Damn that's informative! 👌

I'm on my second scooter and the first had a half twist throttle and the one I have now has a full motorcycle twist throttle. In my opinion the full grip throttle is the most comfortable and controllable and easiest to brake. I don't know why that's a more common choice.

Great guide vid guys! Is it possible for you to do a full point by point comparison of the Segway GT2 agains the Dualtron Thunder II? I would love to see that one as those are the two scoots I’m deciding between. Thanks!

the best video comparing the 3 bike love

Im enjoying the MUKUTA 10 60V25.6AH.....So fun and I can ride all day on 1 charge

Very good content!! Kudoos!! To the team!!

I'm currently half way watching and will definitely get to the end. I'm blown away. What an INCREDIBLE guide this is!!! Absolutely phenomenal work guys and gals!

What is the most compact scooter that can haul 285lbs? Looking for a scooter to haul in Trailer behind my motorcycle. It will be primarily used for transportation at camp sites and parks.

Great information & details.😆😜👀👍

the problem with thumb or finger throttle is that if you ride more than 30 minutes your finger or thumb goes numb specially when its cold twist throttle are the best but they are not gradual and can be dangerous most of brand names are finger or thumb throttle and their is no option in changing them on major brand names . its a very good review for pros and beginners as well . my wish is that one day you will be able to buy custom build scooters so you can have all options you like while riding.

good stuff, any chance you'll make a condensed version of this video in the future?

Great work, great guide for electro vehicle

One thing we’re missing in the personal electric vehicle world (what’s the acronym again?) is repair shops. At least in the USA, Colorado, you pretty much need to do all maintenance and repairs yourself. Would love to see companies open up retail shops with repair options.

Bro if i had a question, you answered it. Thank you. We or rather i need guys like present at these stores to explain this to me rather then simply feeding into my desire to get a fast fancy looking scooter that doesnt support me. It’s a toss up but i think the NAMI or the DUALTRON ULTRA 2. The nami has better lighting where as the dualtron has more speed but they both have the suspension im looking for but the nami has the tech display and wont have to replace the foot rest and the controller at the same time but the dualtron ultra has 56 plus mph and even more down hill. Thanks again Bro. Most definitely gonna save this video, this is all i need

Very well done lads 👏

I just bought the vsett10+ today. Super fast . I got the seat with mines

This is the best video I’ve seen. I wish i would have seen it 2 wks ago when i started researching an electric scooter to buy. I took notes during this video. I’ll def check out your shop but i am in the states. I hope you can help me in my search for a scooter. So I’m female, 5’6, 197lbs. I will not be off-roading. This scooter will be strictly for a 4 block sidewalk commute/flat road w/ occasional pothole if i can go around it. My key points are i have to carry a backpack which realistically may add at least 10 lbs of weight to the load, so for this reason, i am shopping higher max load capacity and not the 220lb max load. I also only need it for 4 mos as i am in school. My other key points is I need to be able to carry this up/down 2 flights of stairs twice a day, so lightweight will be key for me. It will be going into a classroom, so portability is important. I am seeking lightweight material only: aircraft grade aluminum or lighter. No hi-tensile steel. Additionally, i went to test out lifting some kettlebell weights - i don’t know what these are made from but 15 lbs was completely liftable in one hand. 25 lbs was liftable but not for long. 30 lbs was not liftable. They didn’t have a 20lb kettlebell in stock but i did lift a 20lb dumb bell which felt like the 30lb kettlebell. I’m assuming an item made from aluminum will be much lighter though. As for going thru my notes from your video of what i prefer (this will be my first scooter), i don’t have a preference on throttles but the twist throttle peaks my interest since i am into motorcycles and what I’m familiar with). Tires: if we go solid, we go honeycomb since they seem to be the best out of the solids. What about foam filled though? The inmotion air pro has a rear foam filled will the motor is. If we go pneumatic, I’m seeking self sealing tires, so tubeless. Tire diameter: wide. One scooter I’m looking at (fluid mosquito) offers 8” x 2” but solid tires. I don’t want to be slipping around on this thing even if i am only going 4 blocks. Brakes: i think i would be fine w/ drum/regen. Not off-roading so don’t need hydraulic. Deck length/width: i wear a size 9W shoe, so length/width are important to me. I prefer a skateboard deck, if it’s 5” wide, i will overhang. I need pref 5.5 as a min, but i prefer 6” min width. Now 5” might work if i have length. If i have a skateboard deck, I’m good. Suspension: i think Spring will be more than fine for me due to the terrain I’m on Motors: because of my weight, I’m told i should go for at least 500w motor nominal. Rims: if we are using solid tires or tubeless, then fixed should be fine right? Controllers: i think single b/c of my needs Safety: i have both motorcycle gear and bicycle helmet, but for my needs, i think a bicycle helmet will be more than adequate b/c I’m not going fast and not off-reading. What do you recommend? I started off looking at Unagi one e500, fluid mosquito, skate-x pro (Bustin boards). Fluid customer service has been wonderful and they seem to have a great rep. Bustin boards never emailed or called me back. Voro has been good too. Have lately been looking at Apollo, Emove, G-Force, G-Cycle, and Taur. Can’t do Taur b/c they won’t be shipping til 8 more weeks. G-Force looks awesome but they don’t sell replacement parts nor does G-Cycle which looks better spec wise than the Unagi. The Apollo and Emove are more scooter than i need but they’re so nice. Fluid sells all the replacement parts as does Voro, but Voro offers aftermarket. Fluid has a great warranty, most of what i have looked at offers a great warranty. I don’t have a budget. I will spend for the right thing but i only need it for 4 mos and i don’t feel i need to spend $1,000 or more. Everyone says the solid tires are crap. I only know how a stunt scooter feels (polyurethane wheels) so will the honeycomb fill softer than polyurethane wheels or harder?

Great great video... i want to buy a scooter and thanks to this video i have all the infomation i was looking for.for me the Nami (klima )with dual moter 🎉🎉

Liked it in first few seconds and can see uv put the work in doin the vid. Solar i think best lastin scooters i think and well priced

Now this is real research!

Supa presentation,well done boys,a great manuel of buying advice,perhaps we could see one on budget scooters,on the DONTS. Given that the good news takes care of itself.but the axiom of you get what you pay for,is alive and well,but more so when hitting the puddles,or ridin in the rain.?,i think you guys would be stars on shows like top gear,or test driving front load washing machines,the presentation was top shelf.

Hi awseome Guide! Ive gone for a kugookirin G3 which i think more than adequate it off road, and seems to be a good scooter! And tick boxes!

can you combine a puncture proof tire with an inner tube with a split rim...?

I totally want to know your thought out of the Wolf King GT King Pro and the Dualtron Thunder 2. Which would you rather have, and reasons for why. Thanks
