Dualtron Colorado WORST winter ride yet!

- I sold my car last year and ride my Dualtron everywhere including in the winter and in some pretty bad conditions. This was the worst if all the days this past winter that i rode in. There were a few days we had too much snow where I walked to work or got a ride. Ive put now 1300 miles on my dualtron 3 and feel incredibly comfortable riding it in all conditions.
Sold the car and bought the Dualtron! This is exactly the hero our planet needs!
I own three electric scooters (first one I gave to a friend), and I use them to get to work April to Oct 31st. I can do this because I live 7kms from my work place and its a bike path from my door step to the parking lot. There is a time for a scooter and then there is a time for a car. Winter is not scooter time. It harms the battery shortening the life span. Where do all these batteries go??? Answer Currently, the landfill. It takes a lot of resources (oil or coal) to mine the resources to make these batteries. And these batteries contain many toxic poisons to the environment when dumped in the landfill. A good reliable car that is maintained does not harm the planet. A combination of transit, biking, walking, and car is what people need to do. And for some, the car is their only solution. Any electricity that comes from a Windmill is the worst for the planet. I am referring to those windmills with the big propellers. Don't believe. Find out how many birds and bats die from these blades. And those blades get chucked into the landfill as they are not recyclable.
You're a mad man! Still, looks like fun though.
I’m debating the same thing here in CO. Thanks for the video!
Riding this scooter or any electric scooter is not as fun as watching it. I learned that in hard way after I broke my shoulder and palms.
Be careful and give value for you life!
Nice dude, I just got a dualtron and I'm in denver. Maybe I'll see you out there
Ron Adkins hey same we should all meetup for group riding!!
Bro your brave! Lol but yo I'm down to meet up sometime with you guys I have had my eaglepro for about a month now and I'm in thornton Washington and thornton Pkwy. Be safe bro!
Man I was gripping the edge of my seat watching that whole ride. Good to know you made it.
Thank you! I was nervous to my friend.
Ah Colorado weather is pretty gnarly. I keep wanting to fly mg drone but it keeps snowing
Nice video
Wow that’s not insane. I found it difficult to ride my Thunder in the snow with the tires being pretty wide. I can only imagine how tricky it can be the ride the Dualtron 3 in the snow. Also just to let you know check the motors if you ride in the rain or snow because the water can cause it to rust.
Luckily it doesn't happen often.
Do you think it's worth it to get a studded front tire if there's wet/snow/icy conditions a lot of times?
Are you using winter tires or just a regular tire?
If I was renting in an urban city, I'd definitively go all e-scooter, but the closest urban city to me is 1hr away and public transport is very poor here. Winter rides are always more fun!
I just got back from scooting in the snow. Its not too bad but you have to take it slow, still faster then walking though.
I don't own a car and have been riding my bike everywhere... I live in the midwest and was thinking of an electric bike, or a good hybrid bike, but now I am seriously considering an electric scooter! This is the Dualtron Thunder Electric Scooter correct? Thanks for the video.
awesome how did you waterproof it ?
No way I live in for collins too was thinking of selling my car and getting ultra 2 think the offroad would be good or did you get a car again
hi. i live in norway and are looking at buying a PEV for winter as i use an EUC in the summer, bikes would be my top consideration if the nice ones werent illegal so here i am looking at high performance scooters. you recon this would be performing better on offroad tires?
How do u lock it up and where when ur at work?
Also any lock recommendations?
Have you ever tried studding the tires?
This things are so light, you don’t need them. I’m being careful and riding slow. Sure if you wanted to ride on ice you have some options with studs. Idk if anyone has done it yet on an e scooter.
What is the ip rating of the Dual.3?
Weres all the snow?
I'm suprised it even ran in that low of a temperature
X This thing is a beast. I think I’ve put 500 miles on it now. And I ride it hard.
I can drive through rains, but never on snows nor ice.
Hey do you still ride in the winter? I want to get a scooter, but I was planning to wait until spring. Lately I've been thinking there are plenty of ok days in the winter to ride. What tires do you use?
I ride my scooters every day to work with the exception of really bad weather. I prob wouldn't ride in this bad snow again. As far as riding in the cold, its no big deal living in NOCO.
@@kpresnell45 nice, Where I am there isn't always deep snow on the ground, but there is almost always patches of packed snow. I think I might try to stud some tires.
@@happydappyman I don’t know much about studded tires. But I keep my scooters inside which means the tires are warm when I take them out to go to work in the morning.
@@kpresnell45 yeah well I'd think you have to keep em inside anyway for the sake of the battery in that type of cold. I've seen a video and a few comments about studded tires so it looks like some people are doing it. I've also been looking around for any comments on maybe just an off road tire with nice soft rubber which might work just as well. I'm finding it really hard to find decent info on scooter tires though haha. Or even many places to buy them
I just got an Eagle Pro and find the throttle and regen brakes to be very touch to say the least, so I guess you have gotten used / adjusted P settings on yours so this is not the case. I had regen P7 set at 4 or 5 and the brakes were pretty awful (way grabby). Other than that - and 'that' is a pretty big negative, IMO - the scooter feels head and shoulders above my prior scooter, a EMove Cruiser.
I've had the P setting at 3, but I also have ABS on. Are you using ABS? without ABS on, they are really grabby. You will get use to it, I very rarely have to break hard enough to engage the disc brakes.
@@kpresnell45 Thanks. I haven't tried ABS because I've heard bad things about it, among which are that it's hard on the controller, but you are probably right about getting used to it. When I first got my EMove Cruiser, it seemed too fast. Now it seems too slow.
Do you ever ride in the rain? Love the scooter. Hope to get one in the future.
is there any way to waterproof a dultron?
Hey I was wondering if you have road the scooter in any state parks, and if your allowed to? The law seems to ignore scooters and classify them as "toys"? I'm assuming you could ride them in the paths people ride bikes in at state parks?
GDaniel I’m sure it varies park to park. If there are bike paths, it’s safe to assume the scooters are ok on them.
Depends where you are, for example in Quebec it’s considered legal if your vehicle goes 70km/h and bellow which is pretty close to the max you can get from a 50cc engine. If it goes higher than this it’s considered a motorbike and you need to get a license and be registered. Though for sidewalk use you’ll be fine with a 20mph or above and range is up to you. That also means you can’t go on the highway which is the point of making 70km/h the max
They're NOT designed/intended to be used in winder conditions - I've ZERO sympathy for any cretin who ends up breaking their snot after goin' a tumblin' on an icy road.
If I had a scooter I would never ride it in the winter I’m from Maine and the salt would eat it up! Lol
My city uses very little salt when it snows. And the campus I work on uses none at all.
Use single motor only in snow you will get much more grip and tires wont slide so much.
Negative. Way more control with dual motors on this scooter. It’s like comparing 2wd to 4wd.
Studded tires?
No just regular tires.
I rode in much worse road conditions during winter, forget going above 25km/h, studded tires are a must or you will slide constantly.
What scooter? I hesitate to ride with anymore snow, because they are not water proof.
@@kpresnell45 Generic off brand dual motors, 52v 4kW peak power. Water is not a problem, mine is cheaply insolated, never had an issue with the electronics, and minus 25 winds, crazy fucking ride😂
Do you ride in the rain?
I just take the bus when it gets this bad...
With you driving in the snow have you found any rust?
I took both wheels off in spring and completely cleaned the rims, swing arms, under side (which is more plastic) but I didnt find any rust, and I got the rims super shiny again.
I live there
What about salt in road? That can cause rust on the scooter
Rencey Caparas They actually don’t use salt on the roads here, though you run into it on sidewalks which I try to avoid riding on. But you are correct.
how did you make it waterproof
It comes from the factory somewhat waterproof, or atleast water resistant. This ride everything is frozen rather than wet. When I get to work. I always dry them off. I avoid riding in rain a all costs.
I ride in pretty good weather because i live in Florida so in the winter i have very little rain
Satazer Breaker a good friend just bought one to ride in Miami!
1:04 wtf??
That took me a sec lol, I'm narrating over the original audio there. That "stuff" is the super soft/slushy snow in-between hard packed icy road.
whatever do this in deeper snow with a wolf warrior 11 at full speed and ill sub
Dualtrons arent waterproof
The New Dualtrons are.... They have 4 NEW MODELS releasing next month 😉
У вас там соль на дороги сыплют и прочее агрессивное дерьмо?
