I have a norwegian version from EWheels which uses the exact same frame and app, only difference is that the headlight is placed above the front wheel. And it has a 500 watt battery with a top speed of 30km/h and 40km distance when I drive 22km/h. Really like it. The solid tires aren’t that good on bumpy roads but on asphalt you can’t really tell the difference (had a scooter with air filled tires before).
Love the humor in this one! I really wish cities weren't as car-centric here in America, it'd be a lot safer having actual bike/scooter infrastructure than just painted bike lanes. If I had an e-scooter I'd LOVE just to go to the store without having to hop in a metal box that's bad for the environment, not to mention parking.
Wow a city of mainly electric vehicles would be so cool and futuristic
This will be perfect for me when I start working since I can’t drive yet. Thanks for the review
So amazing you went all the way to America for the video and also found a guy that looks just like you to ride the scooter, dedication.
Anything to keep my nose clean 🤣
Getting one for Christmas 😊 can’t wait
Thank You BJ Penn for the review.
iScooter E9T is pretty much the same except it comes with 10" air filled tires, bigger 10Ah battery and rear suspension. The 350W motor actually pulls 600W+ when accelerating or going uphill so that's why it's faster than you would expect. I really like it so far after ~300kms.
Wait, my e9t is solid tires. Can you choose what you want?
Thanks app worked tried so many tried this and boom straight away 👏🏻👍
Transport options like this really need to become the norm. The gov were talking about adding dedicated lanes for cycling etc around the UK but seems nothing is happening about it.
I'd use mine on private land where the land owner had given permission, obviously. 😆
Haha obviously 😉 and yeah they're really dragging their heels.
We NOW have LOADS of new Ebike, Escooter and other EV content over at my other channel the EVRC. Going forward this will be VR only so come subscribe to the EVRC:
www.youtube.com/@e-VRC Engwes NEW bikes are great!
See you there 🤘🤘
EUC's are much more fun and practical and most long term users regard them as safer than scooters
@@graemebuchan1919 I'd feel less paranoid on them too on the streets even though they're technically illegal here too.
Great review Al and what a cracking bit of kit for the price. Would be great for heading out in my area on days when walking is difficult.
Thanks. Yeah they need to get legal here quick. I'd use it so much more.
I've a stupid long commute, so it is no use there, but a little scooter like that would be perfect for a quick jaunt to the store without having to get back into the car. Not having a whole trunk forces one to not buy half the store, and that really helps keep the jaunt quick!
Haha good thinking
Cheers Mate! Great review. I think you made my mind up for me :)
Hi 👋 to you & your family I hope all is well🤞 I absolutely 💯% percent love your TH-cam content ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been subscribed to your channel for quite some time now but never commented & I wanted to also say I really like the fact that you get your wife & your son involved with these videos 📹 cool. I've always wanted an electric scooter or bike not just for Sheer laziness but I would use either or just to get to my mums as she is disabled for quickness/emergency as I don't drive as I'm 46 👍. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks for sticking around, I appreciate it. If you're in a non uk country or in an area where they aren't clamping down then i definitely reccomend.
@@VRCauldron thanks for your reply 👍🏻 yes I live in Surrey so it's a bit of a bummer 😕 stay safe. (But I wouldn't mind getting one still I would try & avoid PC PLOD lol)
Nice Vid, looks cool, would love to go riding round my local parks and enjoy the Autumn sun
Ah yes, Autumn is actually quite nice when it isn't raining 🤞
Thanks for the video, informative as usual. Being retired I was thinking of a purchase for trips to the shops without using a car. Onya mate.
Still illegal to ride it on public roads.
Yes! They're so perfect for that 👍
I just bought the 1S and paid $209.00 delivered a very bright head light, and rides nice. Took 4 days to get it in the U.S. thats very fast.....and was able to hit 18.6 mph at just 70% battery, nothing like my 49mph wolf warrior but pretty fun I'll be putting a full review of it on my TH-cam page......thanks for the review.
I love it. So nice for trips around the Block.
What a fun new direction for the channel! If I had an escooter I’d drive it to a couple nearby (American) cities and ride it around there. I’d certainly have to test its “eat-while-riding-ability”!
Thanks! An electric unicycle... now that's the ultimate eat whilst riding vehicle 🌮
I keep getting tempted to get an EUC but they require (not “suggest”, REQUIRE) a lot of safety gear. That adds a lot of cost to the EUC itself, plus adds preparation time every time I’d want to ride it. I live in a rural area so riding would be mostly big paved roads, not an urban or suburban commute. Still… some TH-camrs make it so damn tempting!
Great video of the i9;scooter i currently own a aovo es80 i have managed about 12 miles on a full charge its good for small inclines but on larger ones its not so good great videos mate keep it up
Just ordered one, im hyped already
If I had an E-Scooter like that, I would 100% use it to commute to and from class. I don't live ridiculously far from campus, but it's definitely too far to walk. Being a big campus, it would be amazing to ride around there too!
Some campuses have scemes now where people can pick up and leave escooters. It's so cool 👍
@@VRCauldron I know ours has bike rails that you can leave bikes at, not sure about the things you're talking about tho x3
I would use something like this for getting around where I am living currently, it's a small area and would probably do well here. Great video!
Thanks! Sounds perfect 👍
I'm a Brit living in Vancouver, Canada - and canadians have tons of e-scooters all over the city! You can even rent them like the city bikes in London. If I had one I'd take the e-scooter through the torrential rain along the sea wall, high five some fellow scooterers (scooterans?) along the way, and then straight to the pub. Cheers for the reviews!
Wow crazy scooterans loving the Canadian rain 😂👍
I would love to take one of these on the local paved bike/walking trail with my dog. I mean we could both use the exercise but he would get more if I could keep up with his energy on a scooter.
Good idea!
I would love to get one of these when I go down to the beach and just cruising around the neighborhood as they're both very flat with many interesting views along the way.
Same. I just wish the police wouldn't be after me 😭
@@VRCauldron oh no the ops want al 😂
I absolutely loved this video! Spat my coffee out at one point!🤣 I would use this everyday in Wakefield (in America of course 😉).
i would go everywhere in my town , i imagine doing a small grocery with a backpack. If it can i would go in the wood in premade trail .
Sounds awesome
yeah thats if they ever send it you lol ordered a month ago today and still nothing and Customer support never reaponds even when asked for a refund
Really cool review, subscribed 👍. I have the e9d, but it doesnt have that on off feature for Kick start. I always have to Kick start and its fully updated. Weird
Ordering one in an hours time souly because of this in depth and comical reveiw 😂enjoyed the vid thoroughly
Lookin to get a couple of cheap scooters for me and my son 13 years old just to cruise around would you reccomend this model. Thanks.
I dont want to spend loads but also want decent range and speed
New ride to work every day as we head into Summer here lol. I’ll share a park with my colleague’s motorcycle!
Good idea. Lock it to the bike.
Thanks for this review.
I'd probably go to flat forest roads to follow my daughter who is learning bike. 🚴
Yeah they're perfect for following the kids. I mean our own kids 😬🤣
Hello friend, one question I have a skate like that and they told me that it had a cable to limit the speed. Could you tell me which cable it is if you know?
That looks pretty awesome! I've got an ebike and I can't stop riding it, just too much fun!
It was indeed and totally agree they're both so much fun.
Mate. Just got one gets to three bars and stops goes down to one flashes can't turn it off or do any thing from the kneck till I get back and put it on charge take it off charge and then press the power button to regain control please help me
I’d love one of these. It’d be great for night rides around town.
Yeah night rides are cool 👍
It’s worth it trust me
Hey quick question should I get the iscooter i9 or the Macwheel Mx pro
I have just got one last week brilliant
If I had this scooter, I'd use it to go down to Benidorm sea front as in Spain they allow e-scooters on cycle paths. Crazy UK rules :-( glad you found somewhere in America to test it ;-)
Wow i didn't know that, Benidorm rocks.
I love your videos! I don’t understand why the UK forbids these and the e-bikes. If I had this scooter, I’d ride it along the waterway in Buffalo, NY to take in the beautiful sites and sunsets!
Thanks! Yeah it's silly i wish they'd hurry up and change the rules already.
It’s perplexing to me! I also loved the part in the video where you lock the scooter ! Lol! Has Jess tried it?
one question, when u buy it does it bring a charger with it already?
If I have an eScooter, I would love to ride it in the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. I'd imagine a slow ride through the garden would be so relaxing and scenic.
Sounds lovely
@@VRCauldron have you visited the Gardens by the Bay before?
@@MorrisKytos no never.
I would use my e-scooter to get to my electric car in the front garden. You guys are always great to watch. Keep up the good work.
Haha how big is your garden? 🤣 Thanks
Only small , but so are my legs 😆
@@petetbates8111 🤣🤣
I would definitely use it to go to and from work or basically use it to go anywhere that I dont need to use a car for.
I have thought about getting one for a while now.
ge one i have 3 am uk
I got yesterday my scoot. Its shuting down when battery shows two bar battery left. range only 8km. Not good.
Wow! Great value for a scooter like this and those features look nice. I would love to take this scooter down to a ride at the beach.
Careful with the sand!
Was about to buy one of these but saw the uk law... Ah good ol uk gotta love it...
Hi do you know who I can contact about my i9 as it has a fault code and I can't find out what it is
Geez great value, those features were great to see. I'd take this around town luckly I live in a pretty flat area would be a much nicer alternative to an electric long board
Those long boards do look cool though.
I would commute to work, go to shops, visit friends... In fact I already do, thankfully the law isn't as crazy in Sweden as in UK regarding these. Watching these videos I'm itching to get one of my own though, currently I use the rental ones. Getting a little sick of having to go track one down every morning. 😋
I don't know if you ever played Rust but looking for rental scooters is like looking for minicopters in that game.
@@VRCauldron Haha, you're not wrong.
Although, slightly less people yelling profanity at you while you do it compared to Rust. 😂
@@Cimlite 🤣🤣
What is that thingy right next to the bell on the right??
Do you have a link to purchase in the US?
Different rules in different states here in Australia. I'm in Queensland. Similar rules to a push-bike like must wear helmet, 25klom limit, less around people, no riding on road except to cross the street. Basic rules. Though idiots make troubles for the rest as usual. Coppers are catching riders with speed cameras around popular walking paths and booking if they have no helmets. Some have been nabbed drink-driving etc. Thanks for the vid.
Hi, just tried the discount code, it's invalid? :(
For anyone wondering, EScooters aren't illegal in the UK however they need to be taxed. Not sure if they require insurance or not.
I must have gotten a different version because mine goes 29mph love my scooter so much had to get another on for the wife.
Which site did you use mate ?
With 15 minutes of battery life, it would just replace my daily walk from my home to the nearest Metro entrance and back. If I could also use it also with the same charge from the airport to my job it could become an alternative to a (most costly !) folding bicycle
No 15 miles haha
Since I'm in the UK too I probably wouldn't get one, but if I did I would probably only use one to go meet a friend for my twice a week tai chi session in the park.
In your head when you think about being able to do that, doesn't it seem so cool?
@@VRCauldron Actually.......... YES!
Nice video! I would go every morning to the bakery to bring back croissants for my wife 😁
Ah that's so nice. And i hope Jess doesn't see this 🤣
next time you come to America . get up with us and we will go to gulf shores Alabama and ride around the beach , lol
Hello. A new scooter came to me with an error code E16. How to treat it?
Unfortunately here in the Netherlands they are illegal too on the street except for a few ones. But imma just dip w my 25km/h 😂
If I had an e-scooter I would definitely use it to commute to work (only if legalised)
I would rock the paths around the lake which my town is named after. It would be plenty fast at 15, 19mph would be a bit scary in my opinion. Thanks for the great review. Now I want one too! Ha ha, it comes with a app powered security system. What does the more expensive ones come with?
I think the expensive ones may not have an app. It all depends on the computer. They have keys though.
Very good review and I’m definitely interested now.
Does this company ship to the U.S?
And what’s the average battery life?
Hope to hear back. 😁
If you don't need to "Do anything" to connect to the scooter, whats stops someone beside you from changing your settings?
Good question. I haven't tried with multiple phones but even though there's a lock function it's not really a security thing. Just like someone could change the settings on any scooter/ebike computer.
I would love to get one, shame they are illegal to ride in most places in the UK! There is some private woodland nearby that might be cool to ride in though.
I'd love to buy a huge estate and just make it public that i give everyone permission to ride scooters there.
Hello, is it good for a 6.2 ft guy?
Thanks for the upload. I bought the iScooter i9 on the strength of it and am glad I did. One thing though - I found it VERY tricky to attach the front wheel to the steering column. Not obvious how the mechanism worked and nothing seemed to work and the manual no help....in the end it was one of those where I just kept fiddling with it and suddenly it just popped together....but I don't really know why and am not looking forward to doing it again. Did you have similar experience or did you work it out? Thanks again.
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you but my front wheel was already connected when it arrived. Now you've connected it though why would you have to do it again?
@@VRCauldron I wasn't clear, I meant the front wheel and the whole scooter, apart from the steering column. There is a hinged part about 9" above the front wheel, which you have to fix together with the column. You would have to disconnect this part again and lay the column onto the standing platform if you wanted to, for example, put the scooter in a car boot to transport it. Thanks for your reply.
I would take the short cut across a narrow bridge to adsa rather than the long way round which is 3 times longer.
Sounds like it'd make a great video.
We've had push bikes and electric bikes for years. Now it's time for the electric scooters to be made legal. There are trials in London so, fingers crossed. I want to take my dog for a walk but am relying on dog walkers just now (I have a back problem). How easy would it be for me to jump on an escooter and take my dog to the park? We could have a really great time whizzing around. I really like the look (and price) of this scooter.
I'd be Trail Riding, out playing for sure :D
Haha dare devil 🤟
Which website are you gettin these iscooters from the official site doesn’t have great reviews on trust pilot I don’t want to lose money. Thanks
This looks perfect for my commute to university ! The parking litterally costs twice as much as this scooter does PER SEMESTER.
Jeees that's a lot of money. They should do a scooter rent scheme
Thank god that you could get that plane trip to the US and find a town that looks just like home.....
Google earth is your friend 🤣
Hi sir is the battery life strong
Thanks for the info...just ordered one in America...wow...it's amazing they are outlawed...young people need to run countries, not old heads..great info...
Yo great review mate, btw do you know if there is any suspension on the scooter?
None on this one. The i9pro has suspension though
Do you know if the discount code is expired?
I've been doing some travel along the US coasts and an e-scooter would be great for cruising around the towns and beaches I'm seeing. It's too bad there are so many places they can't be used.
Yep it's so annoying as they give so much freedom.
You should watch the next tech video 😉
seems nice to go from the train station to work and back. and for that price i'm really considering buying one xP
Yeah perfect for shorter distances that take a while to walk.
With an eScooter, I would commute to work and zip down to the beach to enjoy Lake Michigan.
Sounds great!
Sometimes it might be nice to commute without exercise, biking can be rough on mornings ;)
It can. Escootering is so relaxing 👍
I would go to my local flying drone club field which is too far to walk and a nightmare to get to when the wife takes the car to work at weekends oh and the chip shop !! Lol the small mining town i live in i have not got to worry about police its like heartbeat.
That sounds so nice.
Is this faster than Gotrax Apex Scooter?
While I like electric scooters, I think there should be some special tracks for them, since riding on the road or on the sidewalk can be quite dangerous. My friend recently seriously injured himself because of that :( However, I think they're really fun to ride while being careful. If I had a scooter, I guess I'd just ride around my city all night long🌃.
Yeah they can be dangerous. I wish I could ride it everywhere without worrying about police.
Those crazy scooters distorting the climate
Mine is broke but would lov to ride it across Europe
Nice review. I would take the scooter around copenhagen. I live here and we have all these road made for bicycles and ... scooters.. :)
Sounds nice 👍
Hope you managed to get back from America in time for school! I would ride my iScooter to get a caramel donut and back again, looking cool as hell.
....Errrr in America I mean....
Oh yes! Only in america
queue the Owen Wilson "WOW" lol
🤣
Great review and for that price is just a steal.! Perfect to go to the local bakery store to buy the daily bread 🥖 💕
Hehe just needs a basket
@@VRCauldron A big back pack will do 😜
will you try the ....some kind of 1 weel skateboard thing ,or the one where you stand straigh and the weel in between your leg . I dont remember their name sorry
Straight is electric unicycle. Sideways is 'one wheel'. I'd love to!
@@VRCauldron ive seen an entire family using that in group haha , it was the first time i see this . I was surprised that the ....i would say .... 5 year old was using it no problem
Is there a discount code for this scooter?
That is bonkers about the legality of their use for you over there! I don’t know what the issues are that would cause them to be deemed illegal, like here in the US in many major cities they became a nuisance due to the sudden abundance and misuse of the rental ones littering the streets, but if it’s anything similar over there then the laws should just be about scooter parking not use… I dunno, a shame regardless!
This is the first tech video where I’m seriously considering picking one of what you’ve featured up for myself (especially at that price!), and I think I’d use one just for casual cruising to nearby cafes… and then have to figure out how to steer with my elbows as I ride home sipping a coffee and munching a pastry. ;)
Thats just the UK for you
Haha yeah it annoys the hell out of me because they're just so convenient and cool. My parents live just round the corner and this would be great to nip down on. People do it all the time but I get so paranoid.
One handed scootering is well dodgy though lol.
What a great scooter, and a great review. I'd love to ride it to see you and Jess to pick up the giveaway, (if I won of course) 👍
Haha thanks. Good luck!
I would take this scooter for a ride on a boardwalk in California! Like in Santa Cruz, San Diego, or in Tijuana Mexico. Fun and easy ride back to the hotel without having to call a cab
I've been to the one in Santa Cruz!!!! I think anyway. My Auntie and Uncle took me. That's the one in The Lost Boys yeah?
@@VRCauldron Yes, I think of that movie every time I go! "Death by stereo" lol. (They're doing a remake btw)
@@turtlerespecter brilliant. Love the Lost Boys. Although going to that place on the rickety rollercoaster made me scared of rollercoasters for the next 8 years until I realised new ones with their twists and speed were nowhere near as scary as the psychological fear caused by a wooden coaster 🤣🤣😬😬😭😭
In Manchester and Salford you see them everywhere. You can rent them to ride round on
Do you get many personal ones too? To be fair we do here but i still worry.
@@VRCauldron I live in Oldham and they are absolutely everywhere
@@Tigermoto that's good. Do police ignore them as long as they're not anti social then?
@@VRCauldron I couldn't say for every officer, but I can honestly say I've seen police drive by them numerous times without even a second glance.
I suspect it's more effort than it's worth.
I've asked a friend of mine who works for the police and I'll let you know his take on it.
@@Tigermoto nice that'll be interesting.
So you open the hood to check oil.. you open the trunk to store your bag.. thanks
You can mix it up.. store your boots in the trunk of your car.
She put her bonnet in the trunk.
