i literally just bought the K8 scooter from amazon this video made me excited yet a bit nervous, i hope i can assemble it properly, its coming wednesday im hoping i can get around town maybe 20 miles out and 20 miles back home to work, with going maybe 25mph, i appreciate this. ill will keep you updated if you like. definitely keep making videos.
Very cool and please keep me updated with your rides and thoughts. Assembly is pretty minimal and easy. charge it uup before you ride andd youu will be good. There will be a spare part that looks electrical in nature...That is a spair part just in case your fancy LED lights go out. Good luck and congrats.
I just got the same on Amazon also. I only had a problem with getting the seat on right. Otherwise it was pretty easy. I made sure it was charged and everything was fastened. I wish you the best with your commute it will save you the aggravation of traffic and gas.
Great review! I love my K8. My lil sis gave me a scooter for xmas last year and it was a great little scooter. When I was looking online for ways to beef it up, I came across a video on TH-cam showing the K8 Tif Galop. I ordered one on the spot and I haven’t slowed down since. Only one wipeout and a broken hand, I still ride it everywhere and At 60 years old, I still ditch a cop every once in a while. I thought the K8 would only do 50 mph. NOT TRUE! 50 mph was where I started experiencing a speed wobble and I was doing 62 mph when I let up. Had I not shut it down, I surely would have been hurt or worse. I wear more protective gear now unless I’m just going to the store or something close. Can’t wait to see what they do to address the speed wobble and maybe adjustable height handle bar. The only complaint i have is that the wiring could have been conseeled better and less obstructive to other workings of the scooter. Zip ties could be replaced with tubing. This is a lot of power in a small package and should be given the respect it deserves or you will be humbled with its lesson on gravity and physics. Peace and be safe
Well, it is certainly interesting. I am on my feet all day long so for my leisure I like something that I can sit down at least most of the time on. Still good video.
To your knowledge, does the K-8 have an IP rating? Are the tires tubeless or tube? And how easy or difficult do you think it would be, to change the tire? Thanks
Love this video and am intrigued by an e-scooter. Already have 3 EBikes in my garage and am looking to diversify 😂 I am unfamiliar with the brand and have read research suggesting to stay away from lesser known e-scooter brands. I have to admit, one of my EBikes is a “lesser known” brand and has been great.
I started my e-biking with lesser known brands and have been very happy with them. I have 4 scooters 3 are very powerful and one is a last mile scooter for commuting. I love this scooter. It is taller because of the 12 inch vs 10 inch wheels but I just rodde it a few days ago...Slow ride and it has been raining ever since. I got to say its very nice and I would not be afraid to buy it. Everyone says Yume is junk too but my yume is a good one. simular money this one is better. use my coupon and link if you buy it as it brings the price down my $120 bucks making it competitive with the YUME.
TY Richard. Thats my only concern, Being careful. I sure don't want to fall. Im sure I will not go even as fast as I showed 37+. At that speet and my age It will be to much to just styand up and walk away. Ambulance trip for sure. So I will slow it down for sure. For someone young that loves speed though...this is a deal. andd Tifgalop sells it for $1499 and a $120 off coupon. So $1380 is a steal for this monster.
I just got mines but the deck rgb lights dont turn on only the ones from the steering wheel do and directionals but no deck lights at all do you know how i can fix that? I tried reaching to tifgalop support but they dont answer calls nor chat support and i cant find any reddits that talk about it 🥺
No I have not. I did end up buying a new handlebar. I will be putting it on soon andd I hope it brings up the height just enough. It wouldd be pefect for 5'10" or less and by getting a slightly more bent handlebar I think will be perfect. I really want to keep it a standup scooter. Just want to be younger longer LOL.
I picked up that K8. It is basically brand new and I did a trade from an extra ebike that I had so it was a no brainer. To bad it is snowing right now.
@@iscootct Thaks awesome! I bought some handlebars fromamazon to lift the grips up about 2" I hope. I am not sure how tall you are, but if you are 5'11" or taller, You might like to do the same. On YouuTube you look shorter than me though. Cangrats!!!
@@blue408c6 Its a large scooter for suure. Great price and they were very quick to ship. If you need a coupon code look in my description on any TifGalop video. ;-) thanks for watching.
@RVEnthusiast thanks, I got a go trax GX2 and wired freedom bike that goes 46. I have rode Mt buddy's wolf king GTR scooter a few time and it's 140lbs and goes 72 so I kinda have a idea on the size
@@blue408c6 NIce! All thats way to fast foor me. LOL. 32 on a ebike and about 38 on scoot is all I have done (Only for reviews). Normal riding for me is 18-23MPH
I have an e-bike from 2010 and the battery still get the bike around 20 miles. I guessing 1000 full cycles or 3000 cycles at 30% so my guess is years and years.
Yes i can. I replied and deleted the reply as I thought it was a discontinued scooter. The K8 is a great scooter and I can put it in the car by myself. Frooont endd oor back end first then lift the rest into the car.

Jerry, Thank Youu for the comment and the well wishes. I love scooters, but I am not a really fast rider. I ride typically 15-25MPH. I only go a little faster to review the scooters. My son rode one of my scooters on Easter at about 45MPH down the street andd it looked way to fast for me. I will never go that fast. Hey hope you enjoy yhe videos and keep watching. ;-)
Bruce that’s a awesome scooter be safe thanks for sharing 😊
TY Rich. Im starting to love scootering. I don't think it will replace ebikes for me, but riding them a is fun.

Amazing scooter😀 Great review Bruce.
TY J.T. Its crazy powerful. Its beautiful. Its fun but a little scary. Its really beautiful at night for sure.

Way to fast for me for sure. I have another video coming out on Thursday thanks to TifGalop. Watch it please.
That is one heavy duty, well built, fancy looking scooter. Those lights give it a real cool look. Nice unboxing and ride!
It is very big. Im surprised by the size and height of the deck. Fun but scary until I get use to all the power.
Well, it is certainly interesting. I am on my feet all day long so for my leisure I like something that I can sit down at least most of the time on. Still good video.
I sit so much it’s good to stand sometimes. Hahaha. Thanks for watching
To your knowledge, does the K-8 have an IP rating? Are the tires tubeless or tube? And how easy or difficult do you think it would be, to change the tire? Thanks
I probably won't ever take a scooter up to 50MPH but I like having the potential power under the hood. Max speed I would do is about 25 maybe 30.
Me either. 25 is fast on a scooter. Nice to have the power and ability to climb hills at a decent speedd though.
Hello. Can you say if the scooter have cruise control? Thank you . Nice rides . Be safe .
YES IT DOES
I wonder if there's any regen braking
Yes it has regen Braking

Ever get that fixed?
Have you tried riding it with the seat? I am curious if you found it easier or harder with the seat.
No I have not. I did end up buying a new handlebar. I will be putting it on soon andd I hope it brings up the height just enough. It wouldd be pefect for 5'10" or less and by getting a slightly more bent handlebar I think will be perfect. I really want to keep it a standup scooter. Just want to be younger longer LOL.
I am going to look at a "new to me" K8 tomorrow.@@RVEnthusiast
@@iscootct Careful on it. It is Strong. Let me know how it goes.

I want this scooter
Does it actually go 50? I been watching videos of people with gps on them and there only going 42 on gps. Maybe the speedo is off?
I have seen others do it. I am to old to test it at that speed. I have 2 others that do 40/47 and this feels more powerful to me.
Ok thanks yeah I'm thinking about getting one soon and was wondering how they are. Can't beat it for the price with the size of the battery

How long do you think the batteries will last for ? A year ?

@RVEnthusiast thank you for replying 🙏..
@@ultraknightowl NOo problem. Hope it helps.
thry need app intergration on this scooter/brand wouldbe nice!
Some would like that. I have so many with apps I really like the simplicity of this one.
@@RVEnthusiast i like it for certain settimgs miles and charge
Is that waterproof can I ride it in rainy day
I would reseal the deck if I were going too ride it in the rain. water resistant...yes water proof...No
I am jealous. I want a hyperscooter. 😩😫😤
I think You would like it and use it for sure. Hope you get one iscootct.
Can you put it in the car by yourself?
Yes i can. I replied and deleted the reply as I thought it was a discontinued scooter. The K8 is a great scooter and I can put it in the car by myself. Frooont endd oor back end first then lift the rest into the car.
