Emove cruisers are getting more and more popular here in Australia. The range is impressive on them. Nice detailed vid Ginger👍
Glad I saw this before I ordered my Emove cruiser. Adding thumb throttle to the order. I'll use your discount code as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the support!
Twist throttle is the way to go!
It is I ride for about three hours ago about 45 miles on my trip and the finger throttle of the thumb throttle you get tired holding them down but the twist throttle very easy to use Way to go
Agreed bobby
I’ve always used twist grips for my ebikes, still thinking I’d rather them on my Escooters too 🤷🏻♂️
That being said, I haven’t found thumb throttles to be all that bad either, I can use the side of my thumb while fully gripping the handlebars to actuate it ✌🏻
I have never used the thumb throttle so I can’t compare the two but I do like the twist throttle.
I have the cruiser as well. I put a thumb throttle on it a while back and I totally agree, game changer for sure!
Trigger throttle allows a safer secure more controlled ride with handling n maneuvering especially on powerful scooters n or when on bumps surfaces. Wrapping ur thumb around bar n keeping it there for gripping feels more natural to better keep control of ur steering
I got the Vsett 10+ last week and did purchase this exact thumb throttle weeks before the Vsett arrived .Though it comes without lcd screen ,it should be possible to get it wired correctly to the original mounted Lcd control panel and then simply remove the index finger throttle .I do like the thumb throttle on my other scooter , Ninebot Max G30 ,but this i think might be a better thumb throttle :-) .Thank you so much for this review/test .
I have 2 tutorials on my channel man showing how to install a thumb/twist throttle onto your mini motors display :)
I would have liked to see a close up on how he used the trigger throtle, thank you for the video though
Love that scooter so much I ride mine all the time
Cool I have about 375
Miles on my Emove Cruiser.
I love it the scooter is
Fast enough for most
Riding.
I personally like the
Trigger throttle myself
I think its better control
Especially over rougher
Roads.
Thanks
I Always Love the Thumb Throttle myself, my First Scooter was a Thumb Throttle. Now I have The Apollo Ghost with the Trigger Throttle and gotten Used to that throttle. But was thinking about Switching it to a Thumb Throttle. Just hope I haven't forgotten how to used the Thumb Throttle. 😁👍🏾🛴🛴🛴🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
the ghost is the only of my 4 without a thumb throttle, I planned on swapping for a thumb right away but surprisingly liked the trigger...cracked the screen so now trying to decide between a vsett trigger; just a qs-s4 with a black case to look like an ey3, or the thumb throttle....the ey3 copycat requires an nfc card to power up....so would have the key on the voltmeter, and then another volt meter with nfc card on throttle...would only mean an extra 2 seconds to power up..... but I've never used a thumb throttle that presses in instead of up and down so would love to give the qs-s3 thumb throttle a try....decisions decisions lol
Sweet! He is a natural. Hope to ride with you guys in the future. ✨✅✨Keep up the great videos. Your awesome!
Maybe you should try a twist throttle system. It's been the best upgrade to both of my electric scooters. Better control, better grip, relaxed driving.
Ya I would love that, I'll have to try soon.
@@GingerOnWheels when? I can't wait for such video! 👌

Thanks, this is the first time i understand why folks like the thumb throttle. I have large hands, using the trigger was not a reach for me, so i wasn’t sure the thumb would be better for me. The grip sag seems a little put offish.
Ginger On Wheels...I just ordered my son a Cruiser w/Thumb Throttle (I'll install). It was quite an ordeal trying to get an answer from Voro about the length of the cable that goes from the Thumb Throttle to the LCD, watching your video I noticed that your Thumb Throttle had plenty of cable length. The install video on Voro's site you could see the TOO SHORT cable, so short that cable was pulled tight and exposed the wires. AJ even mentioned it being short. I wasn't going to purchase this throttle because of that issue. Hopefully, the cable will be like yours and have enough slack to be able to make adjustments. Not having ever owned a e-scooter I had a lot to learn and researched a ton. I narrowed it down to the Cruiser and Inokim OX...I choose the Cruiser due to the IPX6 rating mainly it was a tough choice. Anyway, did you have enough length in that cable, I'm curious to know. I wasn't really satisfied with their reply regarding the cable length.
Yeah the cable length is not an issue.
Wish I lived just a little closer lol! Another sweet riding spot! I'd love to come do a group ride soon! Also might consider a thumb throttle for my 10x!
Great video man 👌🏾
Thank you!
Haven’t tried a trigger throttle and don’t want to, can’t imagine my etwow with a trigger throttle, Voro should offer either as an option in the price, not charge $100 for it. Think they and their distributors check each scooter before shipping so if they manufacture without either and stock the different throttles then customers can choose which one they want and they can fit it during their pre-checks or even just have it in the box for the customer to fit as it’s not too complex 🤷♂️
Thank you for the feedback. The preinstall option is close to $100, but the throttle itself is only $59/$69 depending on which throttle you purchase. It is not that simple as tossing in the throttle inside the box, they still have to be wrapped carefully since it is fragile. In regards to the $100 option, the scooters come with a default trigger throttle - Unboxing each Cruiser and manually check the unit takes about 30 mins per quality inspector.
Setting up the scooters, uninstalling the throttle and reinstalling the throttle before changing the P settings adds another 30 mins per unit. It is easy to do for 1-2 customers, imagine having to meet a shipping target of 70 to 80 units per day just for preinstalls alone and we have to make sure every unit is done correctly to prevent complaints such as stripped screw, broken LCD during transit, incorrect P settings.
@@VoroMotors thanks for the insight on pre checks voro. Almost every person reviewing scooters seems to prefer thumb throttle, is it not time the thumb throttle came standard then and not the trigger maybe? I mean it’s interesting Apollo made this change for the phantom for example. Hope scooters are legal in the Uk soon, I have the touring and cruiser on my list of potentials! 😀
@@e-scooterguy That's awesome to hear! We are considering this in our product improvement pipeline. Just need to conduct a few tests on which thumb throttle has the easiest learning curve!
Feedback like this is very valuable for us to continue improving :)
@@VoroMotors that’s good news. I also think decent indicators on the back and front need to become standard features aswell. back of deck is fine like the cruiser but need to be much clearer and there needs to be front ones on the handlebars like some rental scooters have as this would make them safer and be perceived as safer. Add that to the cruiser and touring, thumb throttle, and improve water resistance on the touring to match cruiser and your on to a winner. So far the vsett line edges it on indicators with the buttons to indicate built into the hand grips. I only mention the touring as I fear a 500 watt limit could be implemented in the Uk meaning the touring would be the only option out of your line up. We get lots of rain and have thin roads compared to the US!
thumb thrrotle is on shared scooters in my city. When I wasnt pushing it, just holding and I hit the bump I almost lost control and fell because handlebar shaked and since my right hand didnt have thumb placed underneath grip it slipped from my hand. fortunately I managed to steer with just left hand for a second or two. Thumb thrrotle has advantages but this safety disadvantage too.
Love your channel…do you think this trigger throttle would work on my dualtron storm?
Do you know how to change a trigger throttle to a thumb throttle that does not have that easy " plug and play" circular plug? My Display that looks identical, just has a 6 pin plugged directly into the board on the back. If you have ever done this do I have to do the whole solder ting after clipping off the hall sensor inside the trigger? I would like to just buy one like you did and wire that in, but again mine does not have a circular plug, it looks as though the wires plug in inside the deck and they are "lined up" and not in a circle. Hope that makes sense! Thanks ahead of time!
I've been watching you with the trigger throttle on the Kaabos and I can't figure out how you haven't deposited yourself on Mars every time you hit a bump. Adding a thumb throttle would be the first upgrade I'd want to make to any high-end scooter. I'm interested to try the thumb wheel like they have on the Rions.
I have the trigger and the thumb for my Emove Cruiser. By far I like the trigger much better. I just bought the twist throttle, installed it perfectly and it didn't work. Everything came on, but when I twist it, nothing happens. Very strange!
Thanks ginger very informative video. 👍🏻
Maybe you can find a thumb throttle for the wolf warrior. I'm planning on getting that scooter, and would like a thumb throttle to be a potential option.
I've looked :( if you find one let me know
Do you think this would be compatible with the nandrobot D6+
Mr. Ginger! You should make a video tomorrow about how well scooters perform in extreme temperatures. 110+ degrees baby! I got my ES2 scooter last week. Love it! I'm getting a ES4 battery shipped to me any day now. I've been taking it out for rides in Renton at 8pm or later. Its been riding great so far in 90+ degree temperatures.
Thats actually not a bad idea hmmmm
@@GingerOnWheels Maybe since you've been doing a ton of videos with the Ninebot Max you should make another one with it?
@@GasPoweredProductions ya, I was just thinking, thats the only scooter I've got with a Bluetooth bms to track Temps also
@@GingerOnWheels Heck yeah!....If you can't tell yet already I've become a huge fan of the Ninebot Max and have watched all your videos about it! I regret I didn't get it as my first scooter. But I intend for that to be my next one for sure!
I have a janobike t85 does this throttle work on My ? Anyone knows?
Nice review!! What helmet are u wearing please?
i have an apollo Ghost and have been itching to order a thumb throttle but they dont ever have them in stock, ive been glued to there page for the last few months and nothing.
Code not working for me. Ive tried about 10 of them. Not sure whats up
Best E scooter channel around and I follow a bunch of you salute my dude!
Im very disappointed by the jerkiness of the trigger. Will the thumb make it smoother?
Hi!! If you get a chance, see if you can do a review on the "Vsett 8" scooter.
Is this the new 1000 watt version? Top speed for you guys? Distance you can travel topped out?
Nope old version. Videos on top speed & range on the channel. I don't remember off of the top of my head
Which side is the electric brakes?
I want to do something similar to a gunnai scooter the 5400 watt one. Does it actually matter with these if you can just plug them in? Like does it have to be "specifically made for it" or can it just be pretty much anything? Also good video mate :)
I have the seat on my emove cruiser and the trigger feels very ergonomic from that seated position, but things change when standing it does feel a little uncomfortable, so standing I can totally see the thumb throttle. My other concern is being a Massage Therapist, my thumbs are already chronically sore, so that just sounds like it would add to thumb stress, but have no idea as I have never tried!
I just ordered mine but I ordered it with the seat I plan on sitting most of the time I feel like I'm more of a just cruise around town kind of person I don't need to fly at top speed around town standing
I get anxiety seeing him carve like that 😦 I'm on week 8 of a broken shoulder from a LOW-SPEED lowside, and I won't be on my scoot for a while still. Most depressing shit ever. ☹
I recently broke my clavicle due to loosing grip. Traumatic as hell. I still want to get into scooting onced healed up but will it be worth it moving forward?
@@uTheJoKeR Just stared riding again after my broken shoulder injury...16 weeks. Traumatic and depressing but I'm happy to be back on. Scooting brings me a ton of joy.
I like the idea of the thumb throttle.. its just the worry of grabbing it with the brake that concerns me a little bit from using one lol.. love the video and feedback and thanks for sharing. One of the most interesting thumb throttles out there though is that Rion Curve thumbwheel.... apparently fits any scooter and seems to be a very good price too.. might be worth a look at maybe ?
Definitely will be looking into the Rion curve. Yes.
You don't need to fear the thumb throttle, most scooters have a safety mechanism that cuts off the power when you touch the brake.
@@GingerOnWheels Many thanks for the reply and thanks once again for sharing.. its not cheap the curve thumbwheel at about 160 dollars but it has been well reviewed and looks awesome! be interesting to see it on a smaller cheaper scooter though and to see how it does
It’s a bit pricey 200$ something dollars.
@@dnyce2083 yeah i did say it wasnt cheap lol.. its the way it works and the quality of the build that kinda does that to the price! Its aimed at the big boys of the scooter world.. not the small emoves or mantis's.. but... get it on a mantis or emove and it just opens up a new world of smooth and control
I have the same mantis ginger on wheels has, now I’m thinking should I buy🤔lol
Let it rip son!!! E scooters are life ✌️
Can you please review the Inokim Quick 4 I'm thinking about getting one
Oh my gosh you said Seattle. Is this park Marymore park of highway 520? Just got to into e scooter. It’s so awesome.
Do a video on twist throttle too.
Thumb is better, no doubts about it.
i prefer thimb so i can eadily hit both break if required
I’m about to buy Emove cruiser but IDK how to use the code
Ginger On Wheels what we’re you riding when you were following your friend with the move cruiser.
Emove cruiser*
The gotway msp
Cool INtro
I just installed my thumb throttle on my emote cruiser and I love the new display, I had no idea the display would change so much. Mine is currently set to KPH and I want MPH, so you know if I can change that? I’ve tried messing with it, but I can’t figure it out.
Yes. Go to the website. There's a how to set P settings video.
thanks for sharing this. I was wondering what kind of pin connector is it to connect the LCD and throttle?
What scooter do you have?
Best way 2 find out is unplug yours and look. What I had 2 do lol
Thumb throttle sound better and more comfortable
Dude, can you help me?
Got an issue with loose and rotating steering handles.
Hope you got some answer
I bet the plastic collar at the bottom of your steering tube is broken. There is a tiny screw that holds them in place and sheers off very easily. Remove the 3 screws right by the latch for handlebar height and remove the handbags and inspect the plastic star shaped fitting at the end of the stem tube.
@@GingerOnWheels thank you, could you make a video about it, since im probably not the only one :)
I've had my e-move cruiser for 1 day and the front tire won't hold air, and it overheats after about 8miles of riding. I've sent multiple emails to voro with no response. I'm not a happy camper. I'm about to dispute the charges on my CC, so contact me Voro!
Hi Josh,
Thank you for your feedback. We saw 3 emails from you, the first email was sent almost 24 hours ago and the other which is 2 hours ago. The latest email was responded just 10 mins ago from our customer service team.
We have to respond to emails in the manner which they come in, kindly allow us 1 business day to respond to the emails. My apologies that the emails took slightly longer than usual as we are currently in the midst of a major relocation.
@@VoroMotors Hi, that would be correct. I contacted you on three ocassions, for three issues. One shipping, one overheating, and tire not holding air. I finally recieved a response back from Joey, and I look forward to experiencing that world class customer service I keep hearing all about. I hope we don't run into these issues with my wifes scooter... Otherwise, I'm never going to get to spend money on high end toys ever again!
I want to get this scooter. But Im worried about quality and logevity. Someone let me ride their yesterday, (2020 model) and has done some changes: better handlebar, thumb throttle etc. But what is throwing me off is the stem wobel when coming to a stop. We went through every bolt and ensured things were tight. Im not a hard rider, just doing this for the pure enjoyment of scooting, but Im also in my mid 40's and dont heal as fast anymore. Thoughts on over all build quality? (I also have a ninbot max)
I just bought the cruiser it to replace my ninebot max .. yes the stem has a small wobble but that has do to the suspension which is much better . However, I wish the stem could stand as as tall as the ninebot. Overall it’s a beast compared to the ninebot and the distance is much better but I wish it came with the thumb throttle since it’s better to control the right brake when using that type of throttle.
So dramatic lol! 😉
Why always choose the worst thumb throttle available?
This is all they had at the time.
@@GingerOnWheels I have Nami Burn E2 Max with the same thumb throttle. That was the first thing I replaced with a Rion curve throttle.
