    Thank you for this video. Yours is definitely one of the better review videos made for the Sports model. I'm a Sports GT owner myself, and people, treat this vehicle with respect, it's not a toy, you can get injured if you act like a fool or are not paying attention, or even if you let go of the handle bars (this model doesn't come with the front leg pedals included, you have to request an invoice to buy those separately). I hope to get some more practice on mine in, and use it for my main source for transportation to get to and from work (Being an epileptic in NY, I'm not allowed to drive a car since I have seizures, and since this is much smaller/lighter and easier to store, I want this to be the "vehicle that gives me a feeling of freedom" that other drivers have. I also like how the designers made it so it gets the same rules that bikes get, so we're allowed to use it in bicycle lanes, and much faster than bikes, while staying just under the speed limit so that it's not considered a vehicle that requires a driver's license.

      @b00m13 Have you every run into trouble with the cops? I'm also in NYC and considering getting an URB-E, but from what I understand, it's still technically illegal to use an electric scooter on NYC roads. Please tell me about your experience with that, so far.

      I want the Pro GT but the Sport GT design looks so much better to my eyes. Wish they could put the Pro specs on the Sport GT....somehow...

  • @dennispena5496
    @dennispena5496 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just got my Sport GT today. I love it. I got lots of looks on the beach. (Some weird looks--like I triggered their unhappiness or something.) and some random compliments. One lady thought I built it myself. After an hour of riding my butt hurt. Do I just need better seats? Or do I just have to put up with it until my butt gets used to it? There is no pedaling involved, so it's all strictly sitting. The SportGT is definitely more bumpy than the ProGT.

  • @dennispena5496
    @dennispena5496 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would buy this just for fun. I live in Santa Monica Beach.... I'd be able to use this to ride to Venice instead of driving and looking for parking. And ride all around downtown Santa Monica and the beach bike lanes. I can ride this around downtown LA too! Neat. I think I just sold it to myself....

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      congrats, and the guys over in pasadena are great. make sure you take it for a test drive when you get there

    • @dennispena5496

    Wow....did you say it handles sand? That's impressive with those hard tiny wheels.

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      the wheels are not air filled they are rubber, now I am not saying to the beach but if you are driving it around and see some sand and have momentum it will work for you

    Great scooter, but it's too expensive. An escooter with a seat would be more reasonable to buy.

      Yes it will work no problem. The tires are rubber.

    WHY this model presenyly is not on sale ?

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly I don't know this video was made so long ago it could be that they have moved on to better models

    • @giorgiopietrangeli7974
      @giorgiopietrangeli7974 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Seems they are not in the general consumer business anymore, rather in the compact container business now. Sorry I was not aware that they changed businesses like that

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +laijii this was a review model, they must have added them. You can get them separately and add them on

  • @nunziosarducci2603
    @nunziosarducci2603 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you sell batteries for the FIRST model, the GP/RL, or can you put me in touch with one of those nice people at URB-E who will?
    I've not had much luck getting ANY response from them. It feels like they're straight arming me and I don't know why since I supported them by purchasing their very first model.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,

    Because my country is stupid I think you will need to have drive license or need to buy a insurance to be able driving with it
    :( Welcome to Germany

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      really, do they have a lot of regulations on battery powered rides ?

    • @PolakeXD
      @PolakeXD 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It deepens how fast it goes :/
      Some bicycles need to have a insurance and another need to have a drive license.
      Another example are the Drones
      If it is heavier than 5kg you need to have a insurance and a Betriebserlaubnis (A two sites long paper that allows me to use it).. At some cases you get a sticker with your address + personal identification number from aeronautical authority that I need to put on the top of the drone

    • @TKBay
      @TKBay  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that depends on the person riding it and the hill these guys can handle the hills in the video but if the person is smaller than I am they can faster and steeper
