This is a review of the 2020 Mercane Wide Wheel Pro. I compare it to the 2019 Wide Wheel and the now defunct Boosted REV. I must say for $1299 this is one of the best all around scooters in it's class. It makes for a great commuter and also it is just fun to rip! My only complaint would be the thin board. I like a wider platform but this is long enough where I had no issues.
Mercane took everything from the 2019 Wide Wheel and made it better. Every comment was addressed. A new screen, Dual brakes, Stronger neck, bigger battery. This scooter really is fun!
Love my wide wheel pro. Had a bird flex and was over it after a week. 6 month later and the wide wheel pro does not get old always a fun ride.
I have just upgraded my 2019 to dual brakes, love it, riding it in San Francisco with those crazy hills everyday, over 5k miles already for the past year, it running just like champ, highly recommend.
thanx man....that is exactly what i was wondering.....longevity.....i'm glad you commented....i'm buying one
Good to hear!
Thanks for the info on this W/W pro. I feel confident that I spent my hard earned on the right scooter. My Mercane should be arriving later this week. Again thanks.
Glad to help!
how is it?? i was concerned about the solid tires giving a bumpy ride
I'm sold! Thank you for your honest review!
You are so welcome! You will love it!
I just tried to purchase the single brake version. They ran out of stock so I was forced to scrounge another couple hundred bucks to get the pro. After seeing all the reviews, I’m glad I did!
You will be happy
Thanks for the video! I totally agree with you about the Fluidfreeride. I bought my Kaabo Mantis from them and they have been nothing short of amazing. I am sure you would be able to get same day service from them if you lived near them. I was considering the Widewheel Pro as I liked the original Widewheel and the Pro fixed everything. I went with a Dualtron Compact for my solid wheel power scooter and love that thing. I get too many flats and wanted something with solid tires and suspension. The Widewheel Pro would be a great scooter for anyone wanting more excitement from their scooter.
Thanks! The Dualtron compact has had my attention quite a few times. Price kinda scares me off. I have a Spider and am getting the Eagle soon :}
Man ! Thank you for this video, very helpful! I have been watching i dont know how much videos of "top 10 best scooter in 2020" or "this scooter versus that" etc trying to find the best one and I think the Wide wheel would be the best fit for me, thanks! (i also like the drone, haha i am curious, was the person using the drone into a car that followed you?)
Ha Thanks! The Drone just follows me. it is the Skydio2 :}
Go for the pro. It's far superior to it's predecessors. They reinforced all the stress points where the 18' & 19' had run into troubles. It'll carry you just fine . Range is fantastic and its pretty portable considering what you gain in speed and suspension. You wont be disappointed
Daly Cooley thanks !
If you use your front brake only, could you flip?
Love my wide wheel but breaks are not working I watch videos and still not working can you help plz
Thanks for the great comparison. I just bought the upgraded 2019 WW, the throttle on mine is great, upgrade the rear brake with the zoom xtech caliper and it brakes fine. Let me ask you, does the stem on the Pro feel more stout or is it about the same as the 2019?
Honestly it feels about the same to me. I have never felt the stop wobble on either of them unless you don't have the hand screw tight.
It's pretty solid. The circumference feels almost double the 19'. Different shape as well. It is also a little shorter in length vs the older model. They added some extra bolts to the base of the stem too.
Hello, I also bought one. My scooter will emit low-frequency noise similar to helicopter propellers in the speed range of 26-29 km/h, which is at the highest speed in the eco mode. Does your scooter have this problem?
Any advice for fix errors 05
I have the wide wheel 2019 and I love it. Has the power I just need to improve my rear brake
Awesome!
Hello!
I am in MTB for almost 2 years and I am converting to road bikes....What do you think about Giant Tcr Advanced 2016 model?
- Is it good for beginners?
- What is the perfect size for 1.78 cm Height?
- Can I do packaging with the bike
Love mine... I'm heavier than the recommanded weight limit (235). No problems so far. Have already 325 miles on it. Wife takes it too. She goes to her office to water the plants and stuff. 12 miles she rides. Weather permits, she'll never use the car to go to the office...
Now, I'm better with the throttle. At first, really got my neck snapped by the sheer acceleration of this scooter... Rode too much sluggish rentals I guess :)
Awesome to hear!
Ordered 15ah dual motor, price only 800 in europe.
Como hago q se ponga en marcha no anda
Hi man I fell in love with the wide wheel Pro a few days ago. And I am really thinking of buying one. So I stopped at a local shop in Antwerp Belgium and the guy was not a fan of the riding style but I will be the judge of that once I test is hopefully this friday.
But he also told me that the scooter was not waterproof at all, and this scares me a bit. Where I live the weather sucks. Although I am not planning on riding it in the rain. The chances are huge that I get a random rain shower while out on a cruise. Have you had any experience with this and I would really like your thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for the great video!
I got the CLE dual motor Panasonic battery version off Ali express and have cleaned it in the shower as live in the the desert. No issues.
No Scooter is "Waterproof". most are resistant to water. Including rental scooters but you see them out in the rain constantly
It is a bit slippery on wet roads and your coat will get wet so not the best for that. And you have to ride more carefully keeping in mind it also affects breaking. Brakes are ok but not in hilly terrain. You better replace them. There are alternative calipers and easy to replace just google it (I have the older model though). Suspension is actually more than great, never any flat is a real advantage. Only gravel is a bit uncomfortable. Fixing leaks on little tires like this is no fun. I have no issues with the jerkiness but I press the control by using the lower part of the thumb. It is a bit heavy but I am a guy only having to lift it up a single set of stairs so it is ok and I guess it is just about the right compromise between weight and sturdiness/battery capacity. Best buy ever.
Is the throttle kick start or can you make the scooter go just by pressing on the throttle?
u can change in settings to make it go without kick start.
Do all of the 2019 model have a breaking issue? Or it like the luck of the draw of which one u buy that has the issue? If so, how can u tell if the one you purchase has a breaking issue? Thanks
No, all have it. My brake never went out. But to be safe they replaced them all. If you buy from fluid free wide just ask them.
@@MidLifeToys Oh wow...okay.. Thanks..Is it something one can replace on there on?
Great drone video.
Glad you enjoyed it
What type of drone do you use?
cool review ... just bought one of these bad boy... the best!! I'm in Sydney and it got delivered on a day when it was raining.. had a look at some chats about riding it in the wet... people saying DONT DOOOOO IIIIIIIIIT... DO IT 🤣 just use your heads and have some skill about you and you can have some good fun!!! COVID INSANITY PAT ON THE BACK 🛴💨😉
Yea some puddles are just unavoidable. as long as you don't dunk it I think you will be fine
Get ready for a 2k fine
hello, i have the mercane 2019, do you think is possible to replace the screen of 2020 version on mine? thanx
Maybe, check with fluidfreeride
Probably not. I couldn’t even add the ignition option to my wide wheel pro.

How does this hold up in wet conditions? Not in terms of handling but in terms of hardware protection... is it ip7 rated like the boosted scooter?
IP54 water resistance rated. Don't dunk it but it can take a splash here and there
I wouldn’t go beyond a drizzle with this scoot. Water intrusion protection is minimal.
What about the massive issues with the handle bars bending at the joint. Also the other issues with the arm stem snapping which caused major accidents. I’ve gone through 4 WW1000 and I need to say yes they were great until the issues started popping up! I ended up giving away 2 brand new ones as I didn’t trust them. Keep safe bro
The WW Pro is an upgraded version that fixes those issues
Thanks for the info bro. I was going to upgrade from my 2019 WW. But even that version gave me 2 issues & I was leery about upgrading. Which scooter have you felt (I imagine you have been doing research) will be your next? Thanks again 🖖🏿
Ludicrous mode is hard to control around slow corners and here Australia we have things called round about intersections. Throttle is touchy trying to get around its either on or off in this mode .
@Marley Moore you need to change throttle. I already did and problem resolved. I can go very slowly at 1 to 5 km speeds with no problem and even can activate cruise control in such slow speeds. Buy the throttle on AliExpress and take it's sensor and use it on the Widewheel Pro original throttle. That's all. Let me know if you need more details
I understand that the wide wheel pro has solid tires, instead of pneumatics? How is the ride over bumpy terrain? I am actually dinging this scooter, but I wish it had full hydraulic brakes, instead of mechanical ones. And I also wish it had a little more range, perhaps, a bigger battery. But even with those issues, I think it looks pretty cool. I have a Frankenstein of a scooter. It weighs 110 Lbs. And, unfortunately for me, I live on a walk-up, second floor. This is why I am considering this scooter. I understand is not too heavy?
I wouldn't worry about the Hydraulic brakes. This thing stops very well! It is a toss up about the suspension. Rides better than a scooter with no suspension and pneumatics but you can still feel bumps.
I have wide wheel 2020 with key lock. But my screen keeps going half off right in the middle I plug it in charge it and all is good then when riding it I lose it again anyone else having this issue.
I have not had the issue
Bro has the problem continued? I'm considering upgrading from my 2019 WW. But am cautious/leery because have had 2 issues (handlebar & break) with my 2019.
@@vincedemo2752 the problem never got fixed they sent another motherboard but was wrong one I gave up and sold it. I ended up buying another one later because I did like it the new one is just fine but The brake cable does rub it did that on both scooters and eventually will be a problem at some point. all in all having the second one for a year and riding it a lot I’m 50/50 I would buy another one again.
I was thinking about buying a widewheel pro. The only problem is that I weigh 215lbs and I think the max weight rating is 220lbs. Will I bottom out the suspension at my weight on the widewheel pro and do you think it's gonna have enough power for a guy my size?
You should be good. The suspension will hold you no problems.
Go for it!
I got one is very cool one of the best!!!
👏
How tall are you if you mind me asking ? I’m 6.2 feet (1,92) and afraid it might be a little low for me as we can’t adjust the handle bar height
Apollo sells it and right now there 1000 just got mine and it’s on the way, very excited
Does your order have a free any accessory item of your choice to go with your scooter? Just ordered mine 2 days ago.
@@nitto24 yea it did, I got the extra light for more visibility, mine just literally got here 15 min ago and I love it
Odd.
I have the 2020 as well, but mine's key start like the black brake calipers CLE.
How many 2020 versions are there?
Mines the dual motor, 15a. Build date July was this year.
Mercane won't give me a straight answer.
Having said That, I love the beast. Fast, stable and fun as.
Even after tossing me off at 40 odd kph two weeks ago. 😊
Hmm I know they have an optional key lock
I meant to get the key lock version, got the one without by accident. I contacted Fluid... but said it can’t be added afterwards :-/
About a month ago I purchased the horizon from fluid free ride. For a beginner scooter I absolutely love it but I do want to get something else. I am considering The wide wheel pro. However I’m having a harder time justifying spending an extra $500 on a scooter that can only go 2 miles an hour faster And technically has less of a range. For an additional $400 I could get the turbo wheel lightning. As more of a beginner electric scooter rider maybe I’m not ready for that much power. Just a little frustrated that the WWP At $1300 doesn’t offer a little bit more speed. As someone who owns the scooter your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
I feel the same way. That's why I've decided to get the Mantis. As soon as it comes back in stock that is.
Jeremy Vasquez Yeah man I actually decided to get the mantis pro as well. I’m Confident enough on my scooter now that I think I can handle the additional power and speed. If not though there’s always eco-mode. Lol 😂
Mantis!
I am 190 cm tall. Is that a problem if I buy a wide wheel pro?
Nope, scooters are one size fits all unless you weight above 230 lbs
seems like a decent option cause my girl is scared of my zero 10x 60v.
Nice video 👌
Thank you so much 😀
I actually bought my Boosted Rev based on the ESG review of it. The range didn't worry me as the commute I had wasn't an issue and it will go about 20km on mode 2 (and I am a heaver rider of around 120kgs). However not happy it went bust and it is presently in the shop as it won't charge past 60%. Hopefully it won't be able to be repaired and I will put money into something else - Wide wheel looks nice but I am well over weight limit. Maybe Zero 10, 10x or emove cruiser?
try nanrobot d6+
@@selaphiel2854 nope ended up with a New Dualtron. Wanted the Emove Cruiser but local stockists wouldn't get any more until October. Could have bought one direct from Voro Motors but then wouldn't have the same warranty or consumer protection as buying one here. The Dualtron though is a beast.
Dualtron eagle pro
How water proof is it actually like can you ride in heavy rain and go through a decent size puddles etc ?
Well I would not say it is waterproof but can handle it if you happen to get caught in the rain
It can probably handle a drizzle. After upgrading my throttle, I noticed there isn’t much weather proofing unfortunately. It’s still a solid product overall.
Just took my 2020 widewheel pro out for 18 holes of golf, fully charged before I started. 85 kg all up. Made it around ok, seemed to want to go slow a couple of times. Got round fine. Do not allow an inexperienced scooter rider have a go, they may get hurt and your scooter may be damaged. Does any body think that slow moving ie 5 to 15 km per hour for 4 hours affects range? This is on a golf course with no paved cart paths.
Slower more range
I bought one of this bastard in Brisbane where I bought my first scooter the xiaomi m365 pro. I just wanted more going uphill plus more power. This bastard does both
HAVE A SEGWAY E25A FOR LIGHT USE , AWESOME 1300 MILES NO PROBS . BOT AN APOLLO GHOST ,WHAT A BEAST . TIRE FLATULENCE WAS MY ONLY PEEVE. SOLD IT AND BOT MY WW PRO ,NO FLATS AND A SMOOTH PERFORMANCE WILL KEEP THIS ONE FOREVER UNTIL IT KILLS ME OR I IT .)
What drone do you have?
Autel Evo and a Skydio 2
Mercane wide wheel pro has many mechanical issues I have 3 ww pros .. 2 out of the 3 front suspension cracked pro# 3 dont get met started.. it's a good thing I still have the 2019 model mercane
Deck isn't very wide guess it makes the wheels look wider. Nice video
Yes, the deck is thin. Surprisingly it didn't bother me.
Is the widewheel really a smoother ride than the Boosted Rev? The widewheel has suspension but it also has solid (foam) tires. I had read opinions from others saying it wasn't that smooth of a ride on rougher (city) streets. Lack of waterproofing and less maneuverability due to the wide wheels make this model less of an ideal choice for us city-dwellers, as I understand.
So the Rev was a little smoother over small bumps you didn't feel/hear them as much due to the pneumatic tires.. However over bigger bumps, or jumping curbs the Wide Wheel absorbs the bumps a lot better. It is easier on your knees and spine.
@@MidLifeToys that's a very helpful distinction to know, thanks!
Yup... But I wouldn't recommend it off road or on gravel. It's .... Rough , really rough.
Make sure you put the back suspension arm plate cover on. Otherwise you're risking too much moisture getting into the rear motor assembly. I love my 2020 Pro.
Thank you
I want the WW pro and am an ex racer of all wheel vehicles but scooter world is newish to me.. I started with the HIBOY max v2 but under diff name.. GREAT entry level for 600 bucks CAD....I'm in canada .. but 20 miles an hour and 20 miles range or so is ok.. but doesnt feedmy ADHD N NEED for speed lol. And since loosing EVERYTHING when pandemic started now I am saving up for next level scooter may, take longer than I'd wish, but will pass down my current one to my son when hes bit older.. and got my eye on this WW pro .. and NEED SUPER fast acceleration , hill climbing and bit of bounce more than mine now and at least 40 km an hour or so as 32 is NOT quiteeee enough for me...especially in my CITY N traffic
..just ONCE it starts to get thrilling it cuts out so..also appolo canada has WW pros to and also the app wholesale apps to.. anhere 1000 to 1400 bucks
Bought one this weekend from Fluid free ride on sale $1,119!
It is 800euros from poland. Shipping europe and usa tax free.
@@aleeksi96 is is original or alibaba version?
thay nede white and clear handgrips
Do you do voice acting for Southpark? I thought I hear your voice in there, can't remember which character lol. Edit: I remember now, it's Nathan.
lol
I was going to buy one but realized tyres are solid
Yes, but it has suspension to sort of make up for it. Good for commuting.
The suspension makes it more than bearable. For the money, the WW Pro is one of the beat scooters in the mid-tier market.
I’ve got a Boosted Rev, a WideWheel Pro, a Zero 10x and a Xiaomi m365 (yes, i’m very much embracing my midlife crisis).
My Xiaomi (hacked the speed limit) is for quick trips to a grocery store or just as a scooter to lend out to friends and fam.
The Boosted Rev is very solid, it’s built to last, because of the low deck it is just fun to ride and my go to scooter.
The Zero10x? I dress up for that one. Full face helmet, gloves, kneepads, elbowpads, the whole nine yards. It is just insane! Very torky, very fast, but it doesn’t feel as ‘safe’ and reliable as the Boosted Rev.
As for the Mercane Widewheel Pro dual engine? Naahhh. Don’t like it. The board is a bit narrow, the throttle is not very finetuned, it feels like a toy. Not as much as a toy as the Xiaomi, but still: it feels not finished. I really don’t like the display, it has a very unfinished look, low quality. I can imagine some people will love it, the suspension is good and also battery life is good. One other thing that is really bad about it? The stand... It’s just rubbish. For the amount of money they ask, they could’ve at least mounted a decent stand.
My 2cents
I hear you. I think for the market that it is after the Wide Wheel Pro fits it well. Now the market is getting more and more crowded with new options popping up everywhere. Still in my experience the Wide Wheel is a solid reliable commuter.
MidLife Toys : I agree on the Wide Wheel Pro is a solid riliable commuter. It most def is. I think you get a lot of scooter for the price and it certainly is not a waste of money. If 1300 is what your budget then the Wide Wheel Pro will give you excellent dollar to scooter ratio (whatever that maybe). I’m happy with my Boosted Rev, just wish the battery would laat longer, i’m searchin’ for someone who can build a bigger battery of can give/sell mee directiona on how to do that. I think in the end i will just have to ride it till it dies on me.
Apollo is good also !
The bumps in new York City streets are much worse . I own this scooter and I'll just say avoid them if nessesary or slow down and lift your scooter up then put it back down and continue riding.
I'm shopping for a scooter and one criteria is that it rides well with potholes and bumps conditions. Do you know of others scooters like that?
Waterproof?
I would say water resistant. I take mine through puddles and have had it in the rain with no issues. I wouldn't dunk it or go through a lake with it though.
@David Clarke hahaha What do you want to do underwater with a Wide Wheel? hahaha Maybe we can modify some parts and make a underwater vehicle with lot of power and lot of underwater milage. Just convert the tires in a fan shape and put all electronics inside a sealed box. "Mercane Water Wheels" Also we must add a oxigene tank into the vehicle to be a "Ready to Dive" product. Also a nice wide angle googles and the air flow connected to the vehicle tank and a rescue package that inflate instantly if you need to go up in an emergency.
Minimal water resistance. Can handle a lite shower and splashes...
Dan have you checked out the Super 73 bikes. They look pretty nice. #TIACREW
Ive seen them, I went with a Juiced :}
Is it possible to disable a motor on the dual version?
Just unplug one of the motors. But why?
probably looking for longer range
@@MidLifeToys Saw this only today, in Italy scooter with more than 500w are illegal.
you should go for another 6 months
The throttle delay sucks.
Anyone knows how this handles in the rain?
Never in the rain, it will damage the batteries and wiring connectors
Any scooter in the rain is going to be dangerous
Nah, I've had way better experiences going through Apollo Scooters. An outfit in Canada. Plus they have a 24 month warranty on whatever you buy. IMO. The pro is a great scooter , been loving mine.
Thats a nice warranty for sure
You can save so much buying direct from Ali Express and get the newer models. I have the CLE Panasonic battery version made in May and for the the hundreds of dollars saved otherwise spent paying for a warranty via a domestic reseller with older stock you can buy the new parts as required. Just my 2c cut out the middle man.
I got a 2 year warranty with my 15a dual here in Australia... but with a price tag of 1745AUD, I'd expect that, at the very least.
The boosted rev is a joke of a scooter! No suspension no service!
I have a rev and love it. No suspension but the tires are large and soft with excellent grip. Corners like a porsche rather than an SUV. It's very fast for its weight and has the best throttle and brake control in the industry. Build quality is also top notch. Range sucks and of course already out of business.
As an example, the Boosted Rev is like and Evolve Carbon GT skateboard with street wheels. The Widewheel is like an Evolve Bamboo GT with AT wheels.
TRY ZERO 8X DURABILITY BEST
Thanks I will
I respectfully disagree. This completely lacks the refinement that made the Rev so great.
The Rev would have been great with a suspension, bigger battery and bigger board.
MidLife Toys yeah the battery life is abysmal. Suspension I can live without because it handles so good without one, but battery life is terrible. 10-15 km with me on it.
on da gulf curse
The Rev had horrible range.
Indeed
i have the one with the key & locking steering mercane pro
