Hey there buddy thanks for taking the time out to do this video. I just ordered the 1200 w version black and be glad when I get it. The only thing that I don't like is My right knee has arthritis and when I keep it close to me that's when it hurts. So I were looking at one of these because I rode my boys e-bike which had the throttle and pedal assist which was nice but when I was pedaling and did the full circle on the pedals at the top highest point is when my knee would hurt, that's what got me start looking at these videos cuz I like the throttle part of it more than the pedaling. But what I'm wanting to do is add on some pegs to put my legs out just a little bit farther and I am only 5'8'' But kind of feel like I will look silly with my two feet on that board. Did you feel crammed with both feet and legs on it?. So I'm going to look on Amazon and order some pegs that I can install that are called clamp mount footrest to stretch my leg out a little further. Again thanks for your video I like watching reviews and things before I buy.
1200W would be way too much fun. I been riding 60+ years. Been over 200 mph on two wheels. Not for me. That Varla is something else. I ain't dead so I must be pretty good at it. Good to see you out enjoying life.
I am confused. Why would you be scared of less than two horsepower if you've ridden a bike that obviously had at least 170 horsepower? Pretty sure any superbike is scarier than a scooter
@@HaHaThatIsFunny some bikes have more than enough power that what theyre meant to be, 100mph on a pedal bike is far more scarier than a superbike engineered to be that speed going as fast
@@HaHaThatIsFunny Im just pointing out that something that is far less powerful goes too fast than what it is meant is very terrifying.. I have a sportbike my self, but when I hit 40+mph on a bicycle, it is scarier than going 100mph on my motorcycle
See those rear shocks have the adjustable threaded shock bodies so you can adjust the tension for the spring rate, cool like a bike but a scooter in one!
That looks like fun. Just too low for me.the way my knees are I would need to us the basket to carry a small cane to help me stand up to get off that scooter.
@@loveSparklesonU I stopped looking at those, they fall into an area that is not able to be titled and are not legal under the scooter laws in my state. Can have an e-scooter with no seat up to 20 mph but no seats allowed for some strange reason
👎🏽 I did a review on this three weeks ago. I bought it for 330 bucks with free shipping now they’re charging shipping because they lower the price that’s crazy. Mine actually broke down within a week. The whole throttle started twisted around and not working.
That kind of sucks man hate to hear that. I just ordered one of these and I actually watched your video as well. I have seen a couple comments on the Amazon site of that doing that. Now kind of worried Hope that ain't a common problem on all of these eventually. Wonder if there's a way to fix that or get it repaired without it just not being any good. Hope you get it fixed and put out some more videos of it. Have a good one.

I've had this scooter about 3 or 4 months.I love it
It’s very fun to ride, did a range test last Sunday, posting next week
Such a good review. Thanks for spending so much time riding it instead of talking about it inside your garage like other people😂👍🏼
It’s great fun to ride, well worth the money, best thing is anybody can ride it, wife, kids, even granny.

It’s a blast, range test releasing tonight.
Looks neat, drives well too! 👍👍

@@trijohn23 You're not hitting 100 miles an hour off of 2000 Watts. You're talking about a totally different beast

Waiting for the Christmas sales to get one.
Morning Bryan ! You looked to be having a blast ! That's my kind of scooter for sure, and the price is cheap !

Delivery $170?
No one mentions tnat😅
That's out of my hands.

Cool Scooter Bryan...👍🔨
Thanks Mike
@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377 You're Welcome Bryan 😊
@@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377I've had mine about 3 months.I love it gets me to work without hurting my knees pedaling
Do you have to leave the key on the bottom while you’re riding after you turn it on?
yes
What is the seat height?
Is that display that you have in the middle of the handlebar something that you added on?
@@jamesreinking7378 Yes Sir, it’s an old IPhone 8
@@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377
That’s genuinely genius, I have an old 6 sitting around!
Correction to previous posts: Troubleshot and repaired. Not disappointed anymore.
What was it? Loose connection?
Can someone help me i bought the bike and it is charged but when i turn left and right the front tire does not move
flip the bars down and tighten the screw, watch the video at 5:55
i need help cause the part where the screw is i can't tighten it cause i have to open it
once you flip the latch down you have to push it sideways to release it
@@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377 idk which part like this is too hard
It's easy as heck, flip the handlebar down and push the latch sideways, it;'s spring loaded, the spring keeps it locked.
What gps app are you using ? For speed
Speedometer on the App Store.
Did you ever try a isinwheel u1?
No, but it's on sale at walmart cheap
Got it today, Doesn't work Very disappointed.Will never buy another.
Return it.
Anybody know of a sit down scooter that accommodates larger riders? I'm 6'4" and this looks a bit small
Check HiBoy, I think they have one
@@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377 thanks
Weight limit is 300 lbs other than that the seat and handle bars are adjustable

@tdrdronesebikesandscooters8377 just got mine today, but they gave me the fixed seat, can I use a universal bracket mount to put in a higher seat?
$170 for delivery 🚚
Walmart might be free to the store

Just tighten the screw under the throttle.Easy fix
@@deleoncapricornio2129 I understand that you don’t understand. The whole thing started twisting, even with the screw tightened it broke.
This isn't $229 it's $400 . Tax and $140 shipping
That’s tax and shipping, not the bike price
It’s $170 for shipping
Bought this scooter but they riped me off ,sent me one without shooks Amazon would not help.I think this a scam😢
@@michaelthomas1654 that one also has a smaller battery, it’s not a scam it’s a different model
It says 500watt
560 peak
