![เปิดใจ พี่ญา คนรุม หลังทัวร์ลง หนักสุดในชีวิต!! l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2-OJZRtclro/mqdefault.jpg)
I would really recommend really good gloves and a bike vest. I used to own a 35mph scooter. I hit a pot he at night landed on my right side ended up breaking my right wrist and fractured 3 of my right ribs.
Hows the recovery. Do u still ride scooters?
@@kiwimon3204 It been 2 years since my surgery on my wrist. Still no 100 percent recovery on strength and flexibility. I sold the scooter. Thank for asking.
@@badimpulses17 no worries. I know wat you mean. Had my 1st E Scooter accident last year.
My fault speeding back and forth on my street. Suddenly got a speed wobble and flew Superman forward onto rough Tarmac surface. Wasn't wearing proper safety gear.
Gots scrapes to my right hand palm coz the gloves I wore weren't good. Scrapes to my right knee. Hip thigh and Right elbow. I was wearing long pants and a hoody.
My left wrist got badly sprained.
No broken bones.
My helmet Thankfully saved me head.
I now wear full safety gear wen I ride. Gloves. Knee and elbow pads. Sometimes I wear motorcycle jacket or body armour jacket.
I've had 2 other accidents that weren't serious as my 1st.
I still ride. More cautious and alert.
I have 2 E Scooters. My 1st the TNE Q4 V4 plus model. And recently bought the Zero 11x.
All the best to your future 👍
Lol this is why I only go up to 12-15 mph with protection gear on. Fuck that shit
@@serggla924 I was going 15 mph, the max speed of my scooter, and I tore a hole in my arm down to the bone last week, got ~20 stitches right now but thankfully no major problems. You gotta think of it like a bicycle but it's always at top speed, so you should probably wear a helmet and always pay attention to your surroundings at all times
Thank you for the honest review. And yes PPE is vitally important on a powerful scooter.
Like ATGATT on motorbikes. It's great to look carefree like a manly beast, but it's bad when it goes wrong. 🤘
You hit the nail on the head with the hill climbing point. I don't see myself cruising at more than about 35 - 40 MPH, but being able to hold about 35 uphill would be a game changer in the mountainous region in which I live.
Thanks! I agree, anything above 30-35 Mph really does require PPE like helmets etc.
It's safe to always wear it, but it's actually important at those speeds and above.
I'd say anything over 20 mph. I've hit the concrete enough times to know even at slow speeds that shit hurts.
@@caseyb1346 IKR? Seriously, falling doesn't feel good ever, but adding speed just adds pain. Even 15 mph is nasty if you land wrong without proper gear.
Glad u showed with struggle with the box!! lol. Keeping it real on TH-cam! We are trying to get some scooters to travel with in our school bus conversion we live in. Thanks for the awesome videos. -Richard
The head angle is too high, they need to drop it and make the scooter a bit longer to improve safety handling at high speeds.
increase the tire size as well to handle road imperfections better.
I used to like fast scooters, had a 40 mph one and sold it because it did not feel safe, but it was fun. I prefer electric unicycles, more fun for me and fast too!
Kiddies toyd
Why the hell would you need to sell it? What's so hard about Riding at a speed you're more comfortable?
@@bluecheesybob the 10" wheels did not feel very stable, the brakes also did not work consistently. The quality of the parts was only ok.
@@JohnnyRocketEUC And what model scooter was this? Seems hard to believe that a well known brand would make something that is this unstable.
It was a TW Lightning
Great! This way you won’t have far to fall! The trouble will likely be the sliding and tumbling to a stop. Oh, I can’t forget the hazards like the odd Volkswagen or Infinity that might run into you. Looks like a great way to get maimed and have fun doing it. 🤓
I take my my electric chopper out offroad sometimes for fun lol. I took it through this small lake thing once was super fun definitely love being able to hit both trails and the road safely.
5k Watts on a scooter!? I just ordered a BBSHD 1k Watt kit with a 52V battery after watching your last video, thinking this is probably too much power for an old bike... It will come limited to be street legal, I hope that scooter has the option too. Be safe!
I have the NanRobot, which goes 40mph. I fell when accelerating because I took my hand off the handlebar to scratch my face. Six weeks in a cast and a metal pin in my thumb. I had learned that scooters can't really be ridden with one hand like bikes, but because I was used with decades of riding a bike, after a week of not riding the scooter my instinct kicked in and my brain thought I was on a bike. If I need one hand for something else when riding a scooter I have to lean with my abdomen on the handlebar, not accelerate or brake during that time. Getting dressed or having a shower with a cast on is not fun, nor bravery. I was only going around the corner and didn't have my helmet on. I was lucky. It still puts a smile on my face the fast scooter
Please adjust those front lights. Also, make sure your will is up to date.
Very nice scooter. But for $3000, Ill pass that up. Im satisfied what I got. Made it myself. 3 different electronic speed. 80 amp 3000w controller. 52v 20ah battery, 40 mph range, average 35 mph, 35 mph top speed. Still working on LCD display. And this got allot of torque. Even I install electric cruise control. Headlight with the horn, and Im having a blast with this scooter. Most attraction are the kids. They love my scooter. Im getting a lot of question about my scooter. Because they can't find one like the one I made in the market. Took it to the mountain, and this scooter attack about 5% grade climbing 4 mph going uphill with bearly no struggle. And put about $2000 back in my pocket. And thanks for your book Micah. That does the trick. Im gonna order a electric motor cycle book soon as I get back on the road again.
I fell off my Scooter, with a top speed of about 14MPH, when my back tire clipped an inner curb that I couldn't see because of overgrown grass. Broke my elbow and sprained my wrist. Had a huge gash on my helmet that could've been on my forehead. Took months for my elbow to be fully "normal" again.
I always wear elbow, knee and wrist pads now, even though its a paid to suit up every time I go to the store.
Definitely, wear ALL the PPE when driving one of these. Jesus, I can't even imagine falling on one of those.
Looks fun though. Be safe.
It's so awesome you don't need a license for these type of entertainment. Looks so fun!!
I've been hurled over the handlebars of my little Razor scooter a few times, injuring my shoulder each time from the impact of these low-speed falls. I sure as hell wouldn't wanna hit a pothole at 50 mph on this scooter w/ wheels that are WAY too small for any road I'm not already really familiar with.
There are so many other micromobility options I'd choose before this one...or I'd just have to limit my speed greatly, unless I knew the road really well.
Oh wow, that looked like it was a lot of fun testing that scooter!! I know I would've loved testing it.
They're interesting but lethal I'd prefer to spend that money on a Sur Ron or a nice sinewave kit with all the trimmings.
I bought a Currus NF Plus, great fun. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the mentioning the high power thing, I traded speed for torque on my ebike, for now 45mph top speed is just fine, it can however reach and maintain those speeds pretty easily, it'll get to 30mph in just under 4 seconds and 40 in under 7 seconds. Plenty of torque to ride up 20% inclines at 30mph. Cork is a hilly city. But just because the bike can do 45mph doesn't mean that's how i ride.
Which ebike are you talking about if you don't mind me asking?
@@jessa.3857 it's homebuilt, but it's a 3.4kw hub motor. 113Nm of torque, the bike flips if you don't hold the front down. I'd say get one, they're just too much fun. The bike is built on the 2011 specialized pitch comp fsr.
@@a-aron2276 oh nice! Thanks for your reply! You just opened up other options for my commuting needs.
@@a-aron2276 btw, I have a 2010 Rockhopper expert disc. I'm about to get it tuned up and repaired. Not sure if I want to make it an ebike since it's my main go to bike for training. It's possible though so I'm glad to know I can make it go fast, lol! 😈
Double A ,gday mate a fellow Ron here .
I've been commuting on my uberscoot 1600w for a 16 months now and it can hit 45 MPH no problem. With the 50 Ah battery i made, it comes in at just over 100lbs as well...
Oh and it also only cost me a grand total of $800 (that includes the second hand like new price of the scooter) to get it up to speed.
upgrading my 48v's to 52v's would put me over the 50 MPH mark. I wear a full face helmet, added turn signals and mirrors as well as LED strip lights covering the back and underside so that other people see me in the dark.
Pro Tip: I also always use the seat....The seat changes the center of balance entirely and stabilizes the ride. Even at 45 mph on 11" wheels I still feel completely in control.
I will be 60 later this year, and i would ride one of these in a heartbeat, awesome!
D Bennish ..What are you waiting for?
I’m 76 and I do.
basincut100 ..What are you waiting for?
I am 85 years old my scooter does 50 k my warning is simple the small wheels are dangerous it would be stupid to ride them anywhere other than sealed surfaces,l speak from experience.
Just think of cars. Some can hit 150mph+. But mostly the power is used for acceleration or to maintain a lower speed (highway) with ease, and the top speed is irrelevant.
Rion RE-90 scooter will go 110 mph, with much faster acceleration than cars. The only ones that can hang with it would be Nissan GTR, Porsche GT3, Corvette Z06...
In Poland the most divided highway speeds in the countryside are about 87 mph. In Europe speed limits are on average more intelligent and higher, but even there you don't use the full power. No where near.
@@Victor-tl4dk in the uk the national speed limit is 70mph on dual carriageways and 60mph on single, 87mph is frigging stupid lol
@@hgibbons69 there's videos of it online. Actually pretty normal. 70 is frickin hilariously slow 😆
Yeh, that would be LOADS OF FUN, but I just know I would eventually ... HURT MYSELF if I ever got something like that.
Insane
I'd protect head, face, knees, elbows, hands and toes. I'd avoid vertical objects like posts and trees. They can be deadly. Your remarks on safety are very appropriate. Great review thanks.
Organized races on a track with these machines would be greatly entertaining! Like Nascar on a scooter!
more like MotoGP.
YO, send me a book. Oh, and a big thanks for all the great reviews, I’ve been able to make so,e good decisions based on your work.
Niiiiice, i just bought my first e-Scooter 😂 the Segway-Ninebot ES4 non foldable one, meant for rentals, supposed to be built like a tank, we’ll see 👍
Looks like a blast. I got a Luna X1 e mountain bike and I can’t get enough of it. The thing is unstoppable and definitely safer than that scooter. I’m not a fan of such a small front tire. Too easy to get launched over the handle bars.
Oh, damn, this one is a monster of a scooter. My dream is to put my bbshd on a dual suspension bike, that would be a perfect vehicle.
I love your e bike review videos and and happy to know you do these educational videos and books too
I can see how offroading on that heavy duty scooter would be a blast. The suspension was getting a workout.
I love all the comments talking about something they've never experienced. It's stable, it's fun, and if you ain't about it no need to tell everyone.
people gonna people!
I love your camera work. Those 360 cameras on a stick let you do crazy things
Have just found your channel. Fantastic content, and well presented. Thank you. I am now planning the battery for my 1st e-bike. Wish me luck! Actually your book will definitely be massive help.😜
You gonna like it. That how I made my first electric scooter.
50 miles per hour on those small tyres. I will definitely keep to 18” wheels. Great video and the scooter does appear robust very suited to commutes.
other thing is miniscule disk brakes are not the best idea at high speeds, but also reling on balance to slow with big brakes would be poor. this is the modern sucessor to the idea behind a motorcycle, minimum parts to make a veichle. But it needs at least moped style suspension and tyres and probably a seat to emergency brake on bigger brakes from 50
John Pickering I only use regen on my back wheel, never fitted a brake. Although a rear brake is on the shopping list, never once been necessary.
@@e-bikerbulgaria not at 50mph though. E_Brake braking distance is well known to be poor let alone from 50mph (i'm not just BSing you can see videos with braking comparisons eg zoom styder vs m365)!! I definately use my rear brake a LOT on my 365 pro but its not got the strongest e brake ever, and for me if you're going to have teeny wheels on a relatively fast veichle then you better have both physical and E brakes (to extend range and help stop!)
John Pickering I’ve variable regen. I can lock my wheel going down a mountain at any speed, or bring the wheel to a smooth stop better than any brake. NB. regen isn’t and shouldn’t be a substitute for a physical brake. I’ve a twin rotor on the front wheel, that does help.
@@e-bikerbulgaria but also you're locking a very small contact patch. a bigger wider wheel will provide more breaking force before it locks, but fair point high end E brakes are much much better than you'd expect.
i'm presuming you're locking front wheel as back wheel is easy to lock up especially downhill, its the same on motorcycles although a locked front is usually a dangerous prediciment so stay safe!
That record scratch was so loud, it scared the tar outta me, lol.
Highly recommend a full-cover helmet and full bike gear. I came off at 40km/h wearing only a cheap bicycle helmet and lost a tooth and chipped a few, sprain thumb, wrist and a few bruises. I consider myself extremely lucky to walk away from the accident relatively unharmed. Easily avoidable injuries with said gears. I could also have easily died if I hit a curb.
Pair of Georgia Boot pull ons for starters. Motorrad bibs or pants plus gloves. If you go the bib route you can go light on the jacket. Roller blade safety kit should work and a dirt bike helmet for a brain bucket. Picked one up for $200 bucks and they are a ton of fun absolutely. Not sure if wholly lacking a snowboard type foot set system is bad or just plain insane as you are *"surfing pavement"* but hey, throw down dude..
i own a Toursor E8 Pro that has 5600w with a 42ah battery. and while mine goes 50mph as well, i very rarely hit those speeds. its mainly just my ride for work on a sunny day. that will change when i have more free time in the summer but still they are a lot of fun to drive!
Another great review! That scooter looks fun to ride!
Love your videos man. I have a Emmo Ewild 48v 12.5 ah ebike. It’s super amazing and fun. You taught me some things that I really needed to know
That is awesome! Glad to hear it!
Great video .. u said eating threw a straw.... that comment right there makes me want it .. yessss.
I want to buy one of these scooter but EVERYTIME i look at the website it says "pre-order" or "out of stock" or "sign up for the 8 week wait" like no, I want it now lol.
My advice is to try find the direct manufacturer on Alibaba? Might save you some money but also takes long to ship. At least if you verify the legitimacy of the manufacturer you're guaranteed the model with a middle man raising the price. Some Alibaba sellers pay import and duty fees too.
This was 4 months ago, I hope you got one by now or the 8 weeks was your best bet :P
@@captainjasons ikr most of the good ones have long wait timeframe the wait will be worth it!
Why is that funny
I’ve got one the bmw one is shit compared to the pure electric one
Very cool...One day I'll get my dream trike. Cheers.
Those camera angles are amazing
Escooters are good for what they are, but IMO if you intend to go faster than 20 - 25mph, ebike is more appropriate given the bigger wheels that can better tackle abruptly steep bumps and pot holes both unforseen. Nighttime usage increases the risk and I tend to avoid ecooter use at night; ebike would be more appropriate as well.
As an early fast escooter driver, I'm happy to hear you give warning about high-speed escooters. I believe us escooter owners are sort of ambassadors for the introduction of EVs into the mainstream. Driving responsibly is of utmost importance at this time, because our actions ARE being judged. It only takes one moron to go head first into a pole at 50MPH to make headlines across the country. Then watch how the government over-regulates escooters til the end of time. It's also concerning how fast "pocket rocket" escooters with voltages that would light up a city have come into existence. I think eBikeSchool has a duty to teach escooterers to respect the road and others. Just sayin'
That is a crazy fast machine. Love it and love your channel. Please keep up the good work!
hey I know that area. I bike ride with my Aussies almost everyday out there, Gotta love florida
I’ll never ride a 100 lbs scooter 50 mph, not even 30 mph, let alone pay 3k for one. Ebikes are safer, no need to worry about potholes leading you to eating from a straw for the rest of your life.
Yeah about 20mph is the fastest you want to go on these for safety
Any bicycle is dangerous...trust me..
Good honest review, fun but only if your prepared for the power
That is a crazy amount of power for a scooter! You are much braver then I am.
Pretty crazy ...I built an ebike that can go about 30mph ..and I suit up similar to what you had on!
Fell off my scooter at around 20mph. Nearly broke my elbow and had to take 3 weeks off. My arm was completely immobile and radiating pain....even my hand started swelling. With such small tires, things get sketchy over 15 mph. Sounds like nothing but trust me: if you hit the street at 15mph (or more) you can WRECK yourself. Pavement is WAY HARDER than the human body (lol). If you want a faster toy, then get a bike. The larger tires are safer.... especially at high speed.
Dualtron Thunder i have that , its amazing but like u mentioned safet is always a number 1 priority
I have a e-wheels e7 and the most I have driven with it is 72 km/h but the kaboo Wolf warrior is a beast in comparison
Love your tests
I have the widewheel and I love it
Just because it goes 50 doesn’t mean you have to drive it that fast. Cars go over 100 and we drive at less than half of that. It’s good to have that power for an extra boost when you need it though and the durability and range will be much better with a scooter of that caliber.
That looks like a blast. I'd never use this as a commuter vehicle though unless I could guarantee dedicated bike paths because city roads are too dangerous imo. Without better infrastructure for vehicles like this they'll remain as toys.
This is a great channel. Thanks very much for making these videos they're definitely helping me learn about ebikes more!
Thanks for the feedback Eric, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos!
I sure as hell want one now
Great video, great attitude, and something I never expected to find interesting. You rocked it!
IS there “proper protection gear” for riding a scooter at 50 mph? What would that BE? An ejection seat and parachute?
Force field ?
Rocket Pack ?
😆
Motorcycle gear works plenty well for this application.
a suit that looks like michelin tire man
Can't wait to get my Rion re 100 and do 85 in school zones!! Tank top board shorts and flip-flops!!
Going that speed sideways would be unnerving, especially with UK roads, stay safe
Apologies for being a tad dimmer than usual but aren't the headlights set at too high an angle? Seems to me they'd seriously dazzle anyone/everyone heading towards you? The "See and Be Seen" criteria makes sense, so the lights should both illuminate what's ahead (road level) and serve as an advisory of your presence. Just observin'.
Hi there. This was actually my first choice of electric scooter from Kaabo but ended up going with Mantis Pro instead.
I'm looking for an auto replacement. Your channel is super helpful. Thank you for the videos.
Very nice! And you said, “Used”? Hey! As long as it doesn’t run on gas, doesn’t scare the birds or campers, should be good in parks too. Then again, most parks have a speed limit. Still have to suit up. (My street has speed bumps!)
This place reminds me of Gateway, Ft. Myers.
I used to live in Gateway Fort Myers! It does look like that neighborhood behind the Gartner office!
Nice scooter this is will be good if they can add optional seat to, will be nice to have it in the smi truck
If you come off on tarmac at much above 30mph and you’re not wearing protective motorcycle gloves, you could have injuries to the soft tissue in your hands that will make everyday tasks such as using a keyboard or a smartphone etc quite challenging for a long time. Know the risks, get educated, be safe.
Great reviews every time you present a product or a concept, you are the best at what you do,period.
I am wondering if you are going to show more about the "new" bike you picked up in Tel Aviv, and any more contributions that Israel is having in your area of expertise. I bet it was nice to get back and see old friends.
Thanks again for all that you do, nayim meohd.
Looks a beast but no good for UK roads at that speed to many potholes
Great review Micah! Love the suspension on that thing.
Thanks, me too! 👍
You're extremely helpful and very detailed keep up the the great work
Wow, looks like a blast. I will be sticking with my cycleboard though. Like bigger tires
The scooter may be good if used for fun but I would still prefer an e-bike for practicle usage.
Keep the good work, 👍
Awesome. I was thinking of buying one too. Thanks for the review
Definitely looks fun
Great looking scooter
Lovely scooter nice worth every penny
That's a great informative video, thanks...
I have a generic version of one of these fast scooters. It also does 50 MPH. I must confess, I'm a thrill seeker, and I get a rush out of riding mine at full throttle most of the time. Of course, living a a City with way too much traffic, both cars and people is not an ideal environment for such a fast scooter. But as I mentioned, I'm a thrill seeker. And you only live once. I'm sure one of these days they will scrape me off the road, oh well, you only live once, so I'm gonna make it count.
Very informative. Many thanks
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing more of it👍
That is a beast of scooter.
Looks nice ! 😁👍🛴
Nice review. Funny how the camera angle makes it look like a 3D video game sometimes
damn that scooter looks crazy your videos are very detailed and easy when you explain in detail :]
These tiny hub motors can put out some serious speed, not sure why its so hard to get an ebike with the same motors.
Thanks Micah.
2990dollars? Better build enduro ebike for the same price and get amazing range and speed, + it looks cooler and is a lot safer
Looks fun for sure. They should regulate the speed, not the power.
ನನ್ನಂತಹ ಹೊಸಬರಿಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಿಡಿಯೋ ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿ 🙏 I am new your story is inspired me 😍🙏✋🙏
Wild ride. Thanks for the look.
Where do you find a used scooter this fast? Rebuilt scooter? Forget Craigslist in Florida where I'm at. It's tundra out here for all things electric. Even in SoFla.
I have sern some serious accidents with escooters and bikes in New York city. Some serious regulation is coming. Sadly there are some very reckless people that should never own anything this fast.
See this in Auckland as well
.
