Why the Zero 9 is the Perfect Scooter for Me | Zero 9 Review 

I took a long time and test rode a lot of scoters, I have finally bought the Zero 9. It's only after a day of riding (got 30km on one charge) that I fully appreciate the qualities of this scooter. Apart from the stats, the Zero 9 just feels incredibly solid and safe to ride. At 30kph and even at 40kph, there is no wobble and the suspension is superb, making this scooter feel "planted" at any speed. The brakes are simply amazing, a feature that I think is overlooked too often, until a car cuts you off and you have to break within 4 meters, if you don't you hit the car! Lastly I thought deck size was not important, well after riding for a while I realise that I like to move my feet around a bit because it gets uncomfortable to stay in the same position for more than 30 min, I learned that a big deck size is actually great

By far the best electric scooter reviews channel on youtube. Keep up the good work.

Just bought one based on this review ... as you mention it ticks all the boxes for its cost and weight, thank you for an informative opinion. 40 yr old loving the zero 9 like a kid again :-)

Loving your reviews Chuck. Great job covering the practical things we want to know. It's so hard to decide what is the perfect scooter for oneself. Keep up the great work. Background music is great, not so loud and annoying like some other reviewers.

Upgraded to zero 9 from a xiaomi pro.... still portable and rip past those xiaomi's at the lights...feels much safer too, great review, thanks.

Best value for money scooter to me, I just bought one and its so grunty. My first scooter and I love it. My only concern was the lack of water resistant rating but after reading up on what users said that seems like nonissue.

I'd love to see you review Apollo Scooters Zero 9 variant!

Avid cyclist, new to micro mobility. Your vids, are extremely informative & to the point. I will receive my zero 9 in 6 to 8 weeks from Rev Rides. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Please NEVER change. Continue excellent and Objective scooter knowledge and teaching!!! Thank you so!!

Bought the 9 and then had a flat and tried to buy the 8.5” x 2” off Amazon, but none of the tubes were the right size or had the 45 degree valve stem. Amazon had a zero9 replacement they were asking $38 and I ended buying the last one on eBay for $18. Although this is a nice scooter, you have to look at being able to find tubes or replace it with a solid tire.

Saw this review a few days ago and did some research. Purchased my own Zero 9 today. Love it!

I watch your review videos even after my purchase! 🤣 There really good. 👍

Watching these zero 9 videos until I get mine :] thanks for the awesome informative review! Glad you made it

Great review Chuck. Just wanted to mention I'm pretty sure its the lightest weight scooter that has dual pneumatic tires and both front and rear suspension.

I am new to the scooter world. I am looking to pick something up due to where I live, everything is close but a distance away(1-5 miles there and back). Your channel is awesome! I still do not know which scooter is for me but these reviews are sure narrowing the decision process! Thx bro!!! Keep up the excellent reviews!

Love my Zero9 , I’ve owned the Glion and NanRobot but the Zero9 runs circles around them. Its perfect for me also. The weight is the heaviest I could manage on Bart here in the Bay The only con I have is the handlebars are constantly coming loose , it’s a pain to have to keep tightening them back up

Just bout my Zero 9. And the rep that you filmed for customer service sold me mine!!

super thorough!! - first time ever i had zero questions after a scooter review ! only prob for the ZERO9 is I’m used to tires that can never go flat from my EtwoWOW -so Mercane Wide is still my no1 choice for next upgrade -but this one is right behind- glad they do a custom thumb throttle too!!

I bought the Zero 9. This review was very comprehensive and on point.

Thanks for review. As it happened I ordered one couple of weeks ago and should be with me before end of month.

I ordered my Rev Zero 9 on April 14th. I was pleased it was available since other models on Rev’s website were sold out like the Zero 8 and 8X.. Two days later and no shipping number yet, I contacted them. Emily, their shipping manager responded. “We are expecting our shipment to come in by the end of May/beginning of June. We ship the orders out in the order it was received. Hope this answers your questions. Have a great weekend!” This infuriates me. I was expecting it to take longer than a typical Amazon order, but not this. She’s basically saying “Come late May/early June, we’ll tell you what the wait time is...” The “Have a nice weekend” on the end there made me more annoyed. You just disappointed the hell out of me. Don’t pat me on the head and tell me to have a nice weekend! I feel like a Raine One customer right now! Nothing but question marks!

This scooter is also perfect for me. It has everything that I want in a scooter. This is my dream scooter. Thank you for this very detailed video. 👍

Great job on this video. Just ordered my Zero 9. Thanks for the promo code!

Nice to see the new zero tires fitted... they look more solid... The pram tires fitted on earlier version of the 9 are VERY prone to flats, especially at the rear, so can’t wait to fit the new zeros on... and they look good too 👍🏼 keep it up....⚡️🛴

Hey mate, great review - One suggestion RE handlebar wobble, have you tried standard plumbing thread tape ? Its like $1 from the hardware store and should sort that out ! Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.

Nice review Chuck! Love the added details on Weight Limit (example!), drop test, and trunk test! Really thorough review and high production valeu/quality!

I wish a few designer high vis-vests that are better ventilated were available. Too many of us rely on lights but wear dark clothes.

Sweeeet review. Very good to see in depth focused reviews on scooters thank you.

Nice Chuck and TEAM! I see the TRUNK TEST! Thanks, from all of us weekend warriors that want to throw it in the trunk and take it to the TRAILS! (or wherever! ) Thanks again!

I am from Hong Kong and looking to buy a scooter this video is really helpful, thank you

Great review, however, for 1099 dollars, I prefer my Kaboo Mantis twin 500 watt scooter. Better performance and the extra 10 pounds is okay for me. I live in San Francisco apartment 2nd floor and the carry is ok. Just my humble opinion and again great video. Always informative.

Great Review. Handle Bar Wobble is a " Deal Breaker " for me. I'm still doing more Research. Torn between Zero 9 vs.Turbo Wheel Swift ???

wow! i just love your reviews! so thorough & concise for the vast info you share! amazing!!

We want Nanrobot d4 and d5 videos. I got my nanrobot d5 becuse of your videos, and that thing is a beast!

Just wondering, you have Zero 8, 8X, 9, 10x reviews but no Zero 10 review. Hopefully you do a review on that one too.

9:12 The cars are stopping because they think you're a police scooter.

Watched your video, you finished to convince me to buy this one over so many other choices. Used the link too so hope you get something out of it too! Cheers.

I can’t decide, 9 or 8x, I think 9 because I don’t want anything too heavy, but I like the suspension, breaks, solid tires and power of the 8x

I have this scooter. It's amazing. The weight is well balanced with features as you said. It's at the maximum weight that my girlfriend (weight

I am looking at multiple scooters like the splach twin, kaabo mantis 10 eco800 and vsett8/8+ and now adding the zero 9 to the list

Please review the Apollo version of this scooter (City) -- it's much cheaper and built with higher quality materials to North American standards rather than the Zero which is for the Chinese market and thus has a 2 year warranty as opposed to a few months.

Do you think it’s a good idea to buy a Zero 9 from AliExpress? They are much cheaper, is there any catch to it?

Just a note to everyone out there. Thumb throttle is not that comfortable on zero 9 when you order the installation before it is shipped to you, so honestly triggers style might be way more convenient. So, don't rush into spending additional 80$ on changing it. While Electric Scooter channel has their own preferences, you might regret their advice. Also, when you collapse the scooter, it doesn't take a big amount of force to be applied to the red pedal. Just put your foot on rear end of the board and use your arm to move the stem forward slightly and press on the pedal with your free hand. Just play with it and you will see how easy it is to collapse it. When you setting up the scooter from collapsed position to ready to ride, the bolt does click. Again use your foot on the rear end of the board and move the stem up with acceleration towards the end. There is very noticeable click. Generally, I love the scooter. Unfortunately, I had my rear tire go flat on the second day of riding. When I got the tube out I noticed that most likely the tube was defective since it started the crack right around the air stem. the stem is located on the inner side of the tire. Plus, the road from my home to the office is pretty good no serious bumps and it's a mile ride. So I have sent a message to customer service of this company and we will see how they respond (will post later). also note that taking the tube out of the rear or front tire should be done by disassembling the wheel. Don't use the pry tools or other tools, it is way more difficult, trust me. Manufacturer video shows using the pry tools, don't ! you will save yourself a headache. Also note that scooter is not light to carry around, so I would recommend trolley wheels. I got a pair for me, easy to install yourself and so far I like them. I take the scooter with me to the office and trolley wheels definitely help a big deal. update: customer service is indeed fantastic. Like I described earlier, my rear tire went flat. Apparently, there is a design issue as tires now contain plastic piece for whatever reason that sits around air valve. Its edges might cut the tube. That's what happened to me. I ordered two new tubes. The team refunded both tubes after I reported the issue and I should be getting them these week. Responsive, super easy to deal with! it was my pleasure. update 3/26: just tested the distance 16.9 miles. I guess the company state more than 20 miles for completely flat surface. when you ride smaller hills up and down from time to time your battery will discharge faster. Also, when you change tires buy disassembling the wheel in two halves make sure you don't pinch the tube and putting it back together. Happened to me, hence, got hole ripped in tube. One more thing, if you ride your scooter daily for a long distance over rough road, it's not a problem for your brain, it is a problem for your feet. They will hurt. Update on 4/11/2022: not even put 1000 miles on the scooter and the battery is already bad. after full charge I hardly made 3 miles at 10mph. unfortunately, disappointing performance. Oh and you know what, you will get tired of fixing your flat tires. it happens so often, real issue on that scooter and I don't know why.

The clamp for the handle bar is not strong enough the bar still slides down during heavy breaking or going onto a curb. Battery drops fully on hills. I get 15 miles out of mine every week before its on its last bar. Portability is poor since I cannot take it on the train or any more than 10 yards before it drains your arm. However its nice to see these hold value.

This was my first scooter now I got a nami burn e 2 max, what a difference

Question I'm debating between (4) scooters.... 1. Zero 9 2. Zero 8x 3. Q1 Hummer 4. Apollo Explorer Which do you think in your opinion is the best over all scooter out of these (4) ?

There might be already this question asked, but I'd like to see the review, when possible, of the Aerlang H6 v2 (chinese model), please. That would be great! Cheers from Portugal and congrats on the great channel content.

I can't decide whether I want one for pleasure or actual commuting. I would Def like the dualtron thunder for riding around town for lengths of time but wouldn't want to leave it anywhere due to its price. This Zero 9 would be great for comutting but I know I'd be itching for more power especially when going up hills and bridges. These videos are extremely helpful! Thank you and subbed! 👍

Hello first congratulate you on the good videos you have, on the other hand I need your advice since I have to decide between the Zero 9 and the Dualtron Mini. Could you tell me which one you think is best considering quality, speed, autonomy, driving, shock absorbers, brakes, foot room. Thanks

I read several reviews on the website you said to buy these that there have been severe problems with the scooter unlocking while driving. One guy broke his thumb. Apparently the locking pin has serious problems. I will pass on this. Surprised you did not mention this as well as the seat option.

Great video and review, thank-you! Any chance you could do a comparison with the Speedway Leger? I'm torn between these two with very similar price here in Australia.

Would anyone out there do a 15 km(9 mile) commute on a scooter?

Great video. How does this compare to the fluid that you reviewed?

please do a video of the most powerful under 30 pound scooters. I have the Booster V with 10 AH battery. it's checks the four boxes of build quality, low weight, range and power. I'd like to see if someone else is giving the Booster V and GT some competition. The reason weight is important for me is because I have to lift it a great deal. Even in the office building I work in we are not allowed to roll the scooter on the marble floors..we must carry the scooter which is too long a walk for a 40 pound scooter.

First of all I really like your review videos on the zero 9, keep up the great work! Your review made me decide on purchasing the 9. I just bought a zero 9 a couple of weeks ago. I have an issue/question.... Do you hear a light "popping" sound when you brake(both front or back), it's not the brakes themselves that make the sound. I think it's the motor(regeneration braking). If you go to settings on P11 and adjust the level to 2 or higher the popping sound occurs. When I set it to 0, the sound is gone. I was wondering if it's just my scooter or if its normal for all zero 9's. Hopefully you or someone that reads this comment can answer this for me. Thanks you!

I have the 10x but want this too

can you test out the new hero s8? please

Great review! Quick question - I have a 27 degree hill on my commute - do you think the Zero9 could handle it? Alternatively, I like the look and power of the Widewheel Pro, but I also have a long flight of stairs so am concerned about the added +14lbs.

Thanks for the review. Think this is the one.

Bought this for my wife,it's a awesome bit of gear,48v 13ah disc brakes 45kmph speed light weight and nice suspension,bye bye es4 and max

2 biggest cons on zero9 i have are the screw design mounting of the front bar to the deck. After 1800km with mine it feels very unsafe. The second con is the back and front mudguards that will not pretect you and your scooter in any way on a rainy day. Worst part is in front where all the mud will rise in front of the folding deck system and into the spaces from the wires that goes inside the scooter.... not to mention the back mudguard that on mode2 speed will cover you over the head with muddy rain water.

I would love one of these but the shipping is outrageous

Would you recommend the Zero 9 over the Mercane Widewheel Pro?

Terrific review. Thanks for the info.

Any recommendations for scooter performance in four seasons cities, the weather in CA is lovely all year long

Have you tested the in motion L9? .... I"m interested in either of these ... maybe a comparison would be great

Great Video Mate,Love it 👌

I love mine (I have the Dart), but would really like a tougher front wheel, suspension etc.

Can you review the HIBOY max?

Great video, I agree with every word said. What is your opinion on scooter that could replace Zero 9 as an upgrade for someone who wants a little more? Is Zero 10 a big improvement?

Hi quick question, how does the scooter test in the waterproof department, because a $1200 scooter is useless if you get a short circuit or rust rust in the rain, or just doesn’t work if you leave it outside in rainy or foggy weather

Thanks for the review. If weight and the price difference weren't an issue, do you have a preference between the Rev and Zero 9? Interested in things like ride and build quality.

i saw sumone in nyc im like woah those bright lights im like hmm let me research it

Curious to see the optional handle and trolley wheels for Z9 (and Z8/ Z10) in action as part of a review.

The wobble in one of the handlebars ... Do you mean when you fold it a lot of times to improve portability?

Hey man thanks a million for putting these videos out there. It's a huge help! I have a big question. Price around 1000 give or take, I'm looking for a scooter with 20 miles of range, foldable, and SOLID tires with a suspension. These air filled tires just keep popping in New Orleans cause our roads are terrible. What would you recommend? This Zero 9 looks awesome but then it has air filled tires and I'm done changing scooter tubes. Thanks in advance for the help!

I think American e-scooters are faster than UK ones, in UK they are obsessed to install a speed limiter at 15.5 mph !

Great review 👍 Cheers

Those are some pretty significant short-comings that would cost rev-rides little to improve. Their willingness to change throttle or add bell is admirable, but comes at a cost to the consumer. At $1200 + Tax, I don't expect the issues you mention to be present. If you accept their build quality you send a message that those things don't matter that much. If they are focussed on customer service, I would expect them to respond to your criticisms. Have they? As for the Stem Lock Click...safety issue you sorta glossed over. A lot to like on this scooter but I am not a buyer until all of your issues are addressed. To be clear, I don't believe I should have to pay more for: A bell, Choice of throttle, better stem engagement, lose handle, inadequate rear lights....

Looking to upgrade from a Glion Dolly 225 model. This looks like a really nice upgrade! I know that I can buy dolly wheels that attach to the front of the scooter. That is nice, however it won't stand upright. I am wondering if the scooter could stand upright if the stem wasn't fully collapsed. One of the features of the Glion Dolly that I like is that I can ride public transportation and have it stand up so that nobody trips over it. If not could there be a workaround? Thanks in advance!!!

How much speed do you lose after that 10 mile power conserve kicks in?

Hi guys. Loving the video's. I have ordered a Zero 9e. I notice you ride yours through a large puddle. Are confident its water resistant in case one gets caught short in the rain? Not holding you to it, but just to get your thoughts? Cheers

Have you ridden the E-TWOW GT, and if so, how does this Z9 compare? Weight aside, how does the Z9 compare to the 2019 EMove Cruiser (or as I like to call it, the Bruiser). Is it significantly more compact than the Cruiser? Yay, a thumb throttle. I don't think the finger throttle is particularly safe. It's hard to switch between throttle and brake levers quickly and when wearing bulky winter gloves, it can be difficult to control. My scooter shot out into traffic today with an inadvertent blip because of gloved fingers.

Please do a review of the joyor f3

Thank you for being a channel for the people

I own a Zero, good scooter, no doubt, so far the issues are the screw in handlebars loosen after riding for a few minutes and the stem slips down too, this two components just don't hold in place

What's up on a Evercross H5 review?

i have the same but without mods just some changes in p-settings it goes 64km/h not standing on it....?

Anyone notice the little mouse at 3:40?

do you think its still worth a buy? zero 8 is 749€ / zero 9 is 829€ and zero 10 is 1299€. vsett 8 is 999, vsett 9 is 1300€

40lbs is still a lot. i wouldnt want to carry that. can you confirm this scooter folds down and be towed like a luggage? that's the 1 reason i love my etwow. never had to lift n carry it

I am still confused what the difference is between the zero 9 and turbo wheel dart? Can someone help elaborate and which one to go with?

great review... how much do you weigh however?

Handle bar wobble is a downside for me. Is the stem good quality?

A legend is made here!

Great content thank you. DO You sell demo scooters thanks in advance.

What’s your opinion on the speedway Leger from Minimotors in comparison to the Zero 9? It’s seems they are very similar in terms of weight speed range...

Wide wheel pro or zero 9 ? I like the widewheel but I read they are not very good electronical wise

what do you think of ninebot g30ld?
