WHY changing the front shock on a VSETT 10+ makes sense! how and review of a evaform A5rr1 

You bet! its like riding a different machine now

I'm such a massive McLaren fan! That's really cool to know your hometown is Bruce's too. So glad you enjoyed the vid, its comment's such as these that make me really enjoy making them. Getting a Escoots community going where we share info, aid safety tips and consistantly prove that in the right hands these are a excellent means of personal transport.

I really like my shock, i'm running close to 200psi on mine and i weigh a 105kg, so you will have plenty of spare capacity pressure wise. good luck with the install and dont forget to pump up the bottom (NP)first.

thank you

My A5RR1 on my 10+ gets stuck and not able to move freely like Alan's, who seem to have raised up that area somehow. I'm brand new to this, so I haven't delve into that yet. So the stuckness caused a dent and paint damage which led to my rotors being bent, and I ended up replacing to stock. Did yours fit and was able to move freely?

Do you just rotate the entire assembly?

Sorry do you have a link for the shock thanks Scott

Hey escoot_NYC, loving your vids too! From the outset the evaform shock 291r relies on the coil spring for compression over a compression of the gas. now coil springs by its nature has a linier compression rate where as a compressed gas ramps up the further along the stroke. where the evaform will exceed the DNM A0-6 is the fact you can control the speed it rebounds. It really is like your car spring setup with a spring and damper in a combined strut. The gas only strut will also weigh a lot less. This is ideal if your wanting to make the scooter easier to carry. also less weight will make it easier for the scoots to accelerate (ever so slightly of course). my pick i needed rebound control, lightweight and progressive shock absorbtion. HTH

@@escootermodificationguides2149 Wow.. You know your stuff man. You'll have thousands of subs in no time. Thanks for the info, I think I will be going with the a5rr1 as I also am looking for rebound control.

Awesome glad you've got it sorted, yep that's rear for a bike as a MTB would have forks out front. Sounds like your scoots is going to epic! although i cant believe you ain't got it out of the box and given it some already!! as for rear shock i was toying with doing that next month. until I've looked at all the options I'm not in a position to advise. but as long as the length is right, the stroke is the same and the eyelet are the same your choice is between- dnm, rockshox and fox.

@@escootermodificationguides2149 Thanks, Alan! I will wait and see what you and others may do in regards to the rear shock! As I am not as mechanically inclined and somewhat new to this awesome EV genre of bad ass scooters! As for my scooter still being in the box? It's torture to look at for sure! 🤢 But in a two bedroom apartment with two other roommates, it's a "no can do" for now! Still waiting on the shock from AliExpress anyways! I do know myself well enough to know that if I dare to peek into that box and have one look at that 28.0A beast, that I will not stop there! There would be scooter parts, battery chargers, cables and Styrofoam everywhere let alone the scooter itself, as I am not prepared to store it out back as of yet. Looking for a good cover on Amazon as of now! Thank you Alan, for your help and advice and for showing your great build on your podcast! 👍 Looking forward to more from your channel! 👍

I love it, such a cool means of transport. thanks for the kind comment.

Hi Matt, Yes and yes i have bought some budget ones for the sake of trying out. How fast is no longer the problem its down to digging in and getting traction. IF they can do that and not be terribly out of balance its a win.

125 front, 165 back

@@milordas I see some are installing the 150mm version on the front with good results...UPDATE I bought the 150mm version and for me it was totally useless...far too much travel and is dangerous, 125mm version on the way.

its a long one..... but i found it on aliexpress www.aliexpress.com/item/32868251453.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.71dc2d07SISUAr&algo_pvid=545062fa-a522-4d16-a5a0-3ec9816a86b6&algo_exp_id=545062fa-a522-4d16-a5a0-3ec9816a86b6-31&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000021681615920%22%7D

@@escootermodificationguides2149 Hey Alan? 🙂 Got your reply and found it on AliExpress. Thank you for the prompt reply. One other question, though. This spring is listed as a "rear spring". Not that it matters too much, with respect, it's the right size, and you show that it works and makes a big difference. Niiiccceee. Unique color variation of your scooter too. But would changing the rear shock on the Vsett also do it any better, or worse? And if better, what kind, what size and what specs would you suggest? The same size? Some different brand? And if a different brand, at what specifications, size wise? I appreciate the your time, help, and advice. My VSETT 10+ is still in the box, haven't even opened it yet. I'm waiting on some accessories from Carbon Revo to come in from Singapore as of now. I'm going to order the part (shock) for sure. I just want to get all my parts and accessories together and mod my scooter at one point in time as much as possible, because I will be taking the scooter, accessories, and mods to install over to a friends place to work on, as he has a very good set up area than I do, all the tools, and more mechanically inclined than I am, but not many days or time open on his schedule to do so in order to help me. I will wait for your reply. 👍🏿 Thank you again. Very much appreciated.

the link gets leads to 150mm A5RE NOT A5RR 125mm!

no

@@milordas okay

105kg/230lb. 190mp/120np if my memory serves me right. HTH

@@escootermodificationguides2149 Thanks for the advice, at least I'll know where to start ☺

The 150mm version has too much travel and can only be used with low pressure.

@@geoffsharp2436I have 6 pcs Rockshox Monarch RL 165mm but if I put this and lower the pressure and adjust the reboun can I get a better result?! instead of a measly 125mm

really well mate, loving it and havnt had to recharge it either.

@@escootermodificationguides2149 Is it worth upgrading the rear too?

I just got my Blade X for a month now and i wanted something worth my money other pmt tires. i do more pavement princess routes, i used to ride a cbr600rr

did it cause a crash? What did you replace it with?
