Thank you for this, and all your honest reviews of scooters. I'm a big guy 6ft 285lbs and been wanting a scooter for about a year now but didn't want to get the wrong one for a big guy. You have convinced me that the emove cruiser is the scooter for me! Keep you the great videos.
Glad I could help! I hope you like it as much as I did...it's not great on hills but it moved me around comfortably and at a speed that felt safe...very nice machine...plus the range is nuts :)
37 miles in wet/windy weather with your h/w seems pretty good. I went around almost 35 with mine as a 6'2 220+ lbs person in dodgy uk weather conditions, altho i pushed it on max speed setting. This scooter is legit, very sturdy, great battery. It's a range king, especially if you up for slightly slower ride.
I've read they have controller problems even after the first 7 miles, the controller failed and the manufacturer takes no responsibility 😱 Do you get any rattles? I am thinking of getting one 🤔 I'm in uk as well
thank you for your review, i was on the fence buying this because i am heavy also and all other range tests i saw were from a lot lighter people than me so i knew the range would be less, but it actually did a lot better than i thought it would.
You sir, make really nice and enjoyable review to watch from start to end without getting bored of too much annoying usless information that everyone repeat every time like script 🤦♂️ plus the feeling of natural review doing it for the fun and enjoyment that I personally get from your video is super nice. I trust more your review than some paied professional out there doing just script review, without giving real world information and stuff. Plus, you got my worries away about the water and stuff in the scooter after hearing so many bad review that where kinda meh but build up a bit of a worry in me 😂.. And now I knwo for sure that if you a big guy can make easily 50+ km, me a 60kg guy, can probably make much more no problem 😂😂 ty for the honest work! Sorry for the grammar English mistake, not my main language..
wow...thank you for your lovely comment :) :) appreciate it and love to hear that I'm getting my opinion across and it just me...no paid for sponsors lol :) take care and be safe :)
Talk about challenging conditions chilly rain, rain turning road dust into caked on mud, and wind; all that on top of a bump bridge really presents an interesting test run. Of course this also begs the question, what the range be under ideal conditions? Very unlikely that I would need to ride in rainy conditions but I might find myself out there in less than perfect weather. A range of 34+ miles is perfection under any conditions for me. Just checked a lake I'd love to ride to, have a relaxing afternoon there and loop before heading home. Including the loop the trip is roughly 2 hours and 15 /12 miles. So I could most likely ride an Emov Cruiser in 3rd gear most of the ride, slowing down of course for congested areas and other folk. Thanks again for a real world test ride!
I think you would be golden Amelia :) of course...wind and warmer temperatures will affect the range too :) sounds like a lovely ride :) enjoy the lake :)
rain delay sadly....as soon as it clears up it's on deck :)...miscommunication I meant the range video would be live...the four scooter I wanted to shoot today but ...rain :(
Love your review, Tim. I'm 50+ yo and 250lb. So I love the pizza stop.☺️ And that they let you charge your scooter I would love to aee a detachable battery like those ebikes. It is a deal breaker for me. Instead of lugging the bike/scooter out of your car, you can charge the detachable battery at home/hotel. In this pizza place or a coffee shop or a library, they don't mind you bringing in a battery instead of a scooter. Happy trails. From New York.
Was going to buy two Dualtron ultra/thunder or Zero 11x for the wife and I, because I wanted two escooter that can handle at least 40-50+ miles real world use. We are not into extreme speed and weight at 180lbs and 110lbs. The Dualtron/Zero11x will give us the range for cruising at round 20-25+ and enjoy the great outdoors. However, after doing more research, looks like the Emove Cruiser can do 40+ give or take on normal cruising and it cost less than the Dualtron/Zero11x. The Emove is probably the one. Thanks for the real world review.
I own 3 scooters, Ninebot Max, Emove Cruiser and an inexpensive low range scooter plus ridden a handful of others. I normally only ride around the neighborhood locally and probably have seen the longest run at about 11-12 miles total. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but even that can be a little bit tiring. The Emove Cruiser range is beyond normal-typical use, while the Ninebot Max is nice but does reduce overall top speed once the battery drops a few bars. Personally, speaking I think the Kaabo Wolf Warrior would be awesome, extra power, better suspension and plenty of reasonable power as long as you don't plan on transporting it. I've kicked around the notion of buying some extreme scooters but truthfully speaking 50 MPH on a scooter is insane as going full speed on the Emove Cruiser is a little bit daunting with such small wheels. I'm 49, good shape and my girlfriend is 40 and she doesn't even like going over 20 MPH, so a zero 11x in my opinion a waste of money for likely all women. The best upgrade you can get besides bigger battery in my opinion is suspension as that is what really tires you out the most on longer rides. Also, like I said, you will find probably most of your cruising moments in the 15-20 MPH max on open roads, while trails 10 MPHs, so you can take in the sights and be leisurely about the adventure. Going full speed usually only happens in spurts and then back to normal cruising. Anyway, good luck on finding that perfect scooter, which doesn't likely exist, otherwise I wouldn't own 3 already.
Fantastic observations Tommy Lee, first the ride and style of Zero 11x vs the Cruiser is so different...if you want to just relax and cruise then the Cruiser would be my suggestion...but if you want power, hill climbing and some off road fun then the 11x would be the way to go for sure :) take care and thanks for leaving your comment :)

@Scooter 57 thanks for asking. This was a loaned scooter so I don't have any long term data on it. I do hope to get one this year and do more testing on it.

I'm also in Victoria and would love to get my hands on one of these. Does Ride The Glide have these for sale? I would like to buy locally rather than ordering it via Best Buy. Peace!
Hi Richie Digs...if you can reach out to me or wait a bit there's a scooter coming out that I think you'll be interested in :) :) coming very very soon :)
I was testing a scooter today that's almost waterproof but doesn't have the range of the Emove Cruiser. You can buy the Crusier from Voro Motors (there's probably a link in the show notes)...did you watch the range test I did on it? I went from Victoria to Sidney and back...on a rainy cold day :)
Bro you have a fan for life!!! Love your videos. And you said what the kilometers are in mph and miles(major plus)! Can you do more hill test like you use to do on that steep at your starting point or just a nice hill in general. That's a selling point to me. I think that will make or break the deal for me because I'm over 200lbs and walking a scooter up a hill sucks
Hey, I'm around 300 and am heavily considering the Emove cruiser over my mantis pro for water resistance, range and build. I'm wondering if the newer 1000w version would do on steep hills for me. Any way you can test it out in a quick video?
I would love to do just that but it was a borrowed scooter and no longer have access to it. Where do you live? How steep and how long are the hills. The range is excellent of course, but the hills it should be ok on smaller hills but not the "The Hill of Death". :) It's on my list of scooters to buy :)
@@TimsElectric You'll have to go north from Sydney because I'm on the Wonderful Gold Coast in Queensland, just south of Brisbane. "Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next" Stay Safe.
@@TimsElectric No worries! Thanks! I was just curious so that I could compare the mileage difference according to weight. So many of these videos only show skinny riders and not heavier-set riders.
@@TimsElectric Thanks! The Emove Cruiser is definitely 1 I am considering getting! I have been debating between the Emove Cruiser or the Wolf Warrior 11+. But the Cruiser has a much more beginner friendly price tag on it.
Starting at 57 volts (couldn't see clearly, full charge is usually 58.7-59.0 for me)? What speed mode were you in...2? When I did my range test I got 50.1 miles indicated on the odometer in speed mode 3 max throttle, light breeze, very gentle hills, 240lb payload. Final voltage was 41.2... What were your numbers?
We want to see the scooter more in your videos, the streets isn’t really important for me personally, so for instance when you stop to talk your experiences, film the scooter, not you talking. We are here for the scooter
I like the style of these videos. A bit of a travelog but we also get a feel for the terrain being traveled. Also filming the scooter during test rides would mean more gear, rigging "selfie" sticks etc. The current format is relaxing, enjoyable, and informative IMHO.

Nice, what was the total range in the end please? TH-cam put ads over your captions just as they were displayed. How do you find the front suspension, I'm not a fan of that spring in front.
I ordered one and suddenly got overwhelmed with all of the bad reviews haha. I hope everyone has generally good experiences with their scooters. I am worried that the roads here in Pittsburgh are going to be significantly worse than the smooth roads in BC. I actually plan on relying on my scooter as my main method of transportation.
@Colin King can you keep me up to date...I really like the Emove Cruiser...the new one even more I suspect as it has a larger motor...let me know how it goes :) :)
@@TimsElectric Okay ... So after owning this scooter for 5 days it is currently a broken scooter with a cracked back bracket and the rear wheel is currently off. Within 5 miles of ownership the rear brake was rubbing on the fender and pushed the back tire sideways while I was riding and it completely broke off.... Currently I'm feeling scammed out of my money... I weigh 160 lbs and was certainly not misusing the scooter in any way.
@Colin King this sounds awful...I have so many questions....so the brake needed to be adjusted after you received it...did you check the bolts and tighten where needed before riding? Was the box damaged from shipping? I don't understand how the rear brake was rubbing on the fender? Was the fender loose? So your wheel fell off? I really have no idea how this is even possible....where did you buy it and what are they saying?
Still not working... Sent my scooter back to them... They sent me one that the wheels didn't turn. Worked with them over email to do the repairs myself. No one will talk to me on the phone. They were pretty expedient when it came to responding and having it sent back. I have a bunch of questions about my scooter and the way it should be running / fixed and I'm receiving sparse emails through customer support. The scooter runs great when I first got it. Impressed by the motor, battery, and suspension. That being said the overall build quality really seems cheap to me. As someone who uses the rental scooters around Pittsburgh all the time - they feel significantly more solid than the Emove cruiser. I'm still awaiting the proper parts to be sent my way as the last shipment I received didn't include all the parts or even the correct parts. I currently have a total of 60 miles on my scooter and have had maybe 5 days of good riding on it. I regret my purchase. I've probably spent a total of 2k on the scooter and whatever accessories for it and I really regret this. I just not waited for an updated shipment from voro of parts only to receive it again and find out that I'm still missing some parts. I do not recommend this scooter.
It depends. If you can do a simple 45 second plug then tubeless. When you have to take a tire off and replace it then a split rim is easier (tubbed) Cheers Tim
What gear were you riding in? I’ve gone beyond the expected range (62 miles) in 3 gear, going between 16-20 mph on hilly terrain. But, contrary to your weigh, I weigh 164 lbs and I am 6 feet tall. By the way, love the scenery! Thanks for the review.
@@JK-eb5li if you mean the route..it was a combination of dirt track and road/paths...and I was in gear 2 :) I find gear 2 the perfect speed for me and it really helps my range :) Cheers Tim
@@d72bz If you weigh around 150-160 lbs then 60+ miles range is absolutely possible to achieve (several videos that tested this). The person in the video was referring to the range that he is able to get at a larger weight capacity. Although, I don't think he actually mentioned his weight in the video, so I'm not sure how to best compare the 2.
I think the top speed was around 25MPH/40KMs with me on it. Up hills it was...ok...not great...I think for my weight I really need to be using a twin motor scooter. Other than that...the battery is huge and it went for ages ...if memory serves it went about 50Kms with me on it...amazing :)
I'm sure he's right Legend...I actually find slower is fine...but I'm not a fan of range tests...this one took ages to shoot :) and I was exhausted afterwards :)
Is nice that you allowed to use those bicycle trials here in the capital we got the NCC rule by a bunch of old farts that won't allowed electric scooters on the paths.
that does seem a bit prehistoric ...I ride on them at the same speeds as the bicycles in front of me ...respectful of their space and hopefully we won't be met with such vitriol :)
Sweet! thanks dude, here's my results.. 1. I weigh 67kg 2. got 44miles range 3. Going full speed 20-25mph 4. I stopped for 10mins every 10+miles 5. 95% of the journey was flat ground, no huge hills but 5% was the odd few slopes, also the the ground was very rarely 100% smooth, it was usually rough concrete roads and paths. (If I was to guesstimate, I think if i was going 15mph I could probably get an extra 10miles and possibly an extra 15miles if I was going 10mph. on my old scooter the kugoo m4 pro speed made a huge difference in range, full speed 25-30mph would only get me about 12miles whearas lowering speed to 10miles would allow it to do 30miles)
Not to insult anyone, but it was cold and Timothy is overweight, moreover, there were some slopes. So in summer, flat terrain and with a normal weight driver, it should go 100 km.
absolutely Akula...in fact I think I mentioned in the video that I saw a lighter rider in a warmer climate get over 100kms...amazing scooter :) Did you see my Best Scooters of 2020?

Any news on the new cruiser frome emove , it's been a long time since they said they had a new one coming out?
that's really interesting...I suspect they'll wait until the Spring....what did you hear about it?
I ordered one and suddenly got overwhelmed with all of the bad reviews haha. I hope everyone has generally good experiences with their scooters. I am worried that the roads here in Pittsburgh are going to be significantly worse than the smooth roads in BC. I actually plan on relying on my scooter as my main method of transportation.
@Colin King can you keep me up to date...I really like the Emove Cruiser...the new one even more I suspect as it has a larger motor...let me know how it goes :) :)
@@TimsElectric Okay ... So after owning this scooter for 5 days it is currently a broken scooter with a cracked back bracket and the rear wheel is currently off. Within 5 miles of ownership the rear brake was rubbing on the fender and pushed the back tire sideways while I was riding and it completely broke off.... Currently I'm feeling scammed out of my money... I weigh 160 lbs and was certainly not misusing the scooter in any way.
@Colin King this sounds awful...I have so many questions....so the brake needed to be adjusted after you received it...did you check the bolts and tighten where needed before riding? Was the box damaged from shipping? I don't understand how the rear brake was rubbing on the fender? Was the fender loose? So your wheel fell off? I really have no idea how this is even possible....where did you buy it and what are they saying?
@@ColinZimmerman please update
Still not working... Sent my scooter back to them... They sent me one that the wheels didn't turn. Worked with them over email to do the repairs myself. No one will talk to me on the phone. They were pretty expedient when it came to responding and having it sent back. I have a bunch of questions about my scooter and the way it should be running / fixed and I'm receiving sparse emails through customer support. The scooter runs great when I first got it. Impressed by the motor, battery, and suspension. That being said the overall build quality really seems cheap to me. As someone who uses the rental scooters around Pittsburgh all the time - they feel significantly more solid than the Emove cruiser. I'm still awaiting the proper parts to be sent my way as the last shipment I received didn't include all the parts or even the correct parts. I currently have a total of 60 miles on my scooter and have had maybe 5 days of good riding on it. I regret my purchase. I've probably spent a total of 2k on the scooter and whatever accessories for it and I really regret this. I just not waited for an updated shipment from voro of parts only to receive it again and find out that I'm still missing some parts. I do not recommend this scooter.
Hi Tim, which type of tire is easy to fix tubelee or tube?
It depends.
If you can do a simple 45 second plug then tubeless.
When you have to take a tire off and replace it then a split rim is easier (tubbed)
Cheers
Tim
What gear were you riding in? I’ve gone beyond the expected range (62 miles) in 3 gear, going between 16-20 mph on hilly terrain. But, contrary to your weigh, I weigh 164 lbs and I am 6 feet tall. By the way, love the scenery! Thanks for the review.
Cheers Marcial...I was in gear two the whole time :) so about 30 Km/hr (17 mph approx) :)
Wow!, was the floor very smooth and did you take any breaks? Im 5"8 and weigh 67kg, but only got 44miles, gear 3, on 95% flat terrain.
@@JK-eb5li if you mean the route..it was a combination of dirt track and road/paths...and I was in gear 2 :) I find gear 2 the perfect speed for me and it really helps my range :) Cheers Tim
wtf, the man in the video almost convinced me to not buy the cruiser, but now your telling me you went beyond 62 miles? wow
@@d72bz If you weigh around 150-160 lbs then 60+ miles range is absolutely possible to achieve (several videos that tested this). The person in the video was referring to the range that he is able to get at a larger weight capacity. Although, I don't think he actually mentioned his weight in the video, so I'm not sure how to best compare the 2.
Gotta ride it in gear one for the best range.
for sure....pretty amazing though :)
How fast did it go in 3rd gear? How did it preform on hills? I'm around your weight and am very interested in this scooter.
I think the top speed was around 25MPH/40KMs with me on it.
Up hills it was...ok...not great...I think for my weight I really need to be using a twin motor scooter.
Other than that...the battery is huge and it went for ages ...if memory serves it went about 50Kms with me on it...amazing :)
I watched another video where some guy said if you go slower around 10-13mph you can get more miles but I think that may be too slow for most ppl 😂
I'm sure he's right Legend...I actually find slower is fine...but I'm not a fan of range tests...this one took ages to shoot :) and I was exhausted afterwards :)
How problematic is the loose screws? I heard they keep coming off!
I didn't have that experience...but you could just put on some locktight if you were concerned :)
@@TimsElectric thanks bud!
Would you recommend the emove touring scooter for a person that weighs 290 pounds?
I would...if the terrain isn't too hilly...lots of flat roads then no problem IMHO :)
so around 30 miles maxing out on mode 1?
for a big guy like me yes....but also it was close to freezing that day :)
whats scoot would you recommend for heavier rider? and something long range and good for hills?
Dualtron Victor could be perfect...or Thunder...or on a budget the Varla ;) reviews on all on my channel ;)
Is nice that you allowed to use those bicycle trials here in the capital we got the NCC rule by a bunch of old farts that won't allowed electric scooters on the paths.
that does seem a bit prehistoric ...I ride on them at the same speeds as the bicycles in front of me ...respectful of their space and hopefully we won't be met with such vitriol :)
Sweet! thanks dude, here's my results..
1. I weigh 67kg
2. got 44miles range
3. Going full speed 20-25mph
4. I stopped for 10mins every 10+miles
5. 95% of the journey was flat ground, no huge hills but 5% was the odd few slopes, also the the ground was very rarely 100% smooth, it was usually rough concrete roads and paths.
(If I was to guesstimate, I think if i was going 15mph I could probably get an extra 10miles and possibly an extra 15miles if I was going 10mph. on my old scooter the kugoo m4 pro speed made a huge difference in range, full speed 25-30mph would only get me about 12miles whearas lowering speed to 10miles would allow it to do 30miles)
wow...amazing results :) and travelling at 20-25 is quick :) thank you so much for sharing your results :)
no music please -.-
it's called mute :)
How fast does this go
About 20mph 32 k with me on it
Not to insult anyone, but it was cold and Timothy is overweight, moreover, there were some slopes. So in summer, flat terrain and with a normal weight driver, it should go 100 km.
absolutely Akula...in fact I think I mentioned in the video that I saw a lighter rider in a warmer climate get over 100kms...amazing scooter :) Did you see my Best Scooters of 2020?
Well built scooter, than delvers on everything it advertises
indeed, it really does Scott...I'm interested to try the Speedway 5 as well...similar deck and design...but two motors :)
