A few years ago, Yume scooters were rough and ready. But this one looks Quality
100%
The first time I heard about the Electronically Controlled Water-Cooling System, it looks really great!
I've been waiting for this !!!.You 2 are the best at what you do . Hands down
The stuff Fedex makes their drivers deliver alone is pretty crazy. I ordered a new bed awhile ago and it came unassembled, but the box was about 220 lbs. The poor guy couldn't even get it out of his truck.
So true! I feel so bad for them. Whenever I have a heavy package delivered I always try and make sure I'm available to help out.
I always offer cold drinks and food, for th3 delivery guys. It isn't easy job at all.
@@oneway_stingy Yeah it's not an easy job. Some of those guys are super human. I had a dishwasher shipped to me once and the guy showed up with it on his shoulder like it weighed about 20 lbs.
They must have a awesome health care plan lol
I'm genuinely impressed. Was waiting for someone to confirm the top speed with gps.
Not as quick as a nami or kaabo wolf but the 50ah battery and water cooled controlers are fantastic. (coming from a Wolf GTR owner myself)
I'm going to call this a half truth...
Let's run them 5 miles at high speed and test acceleration again...
I bet the liquid cooling continues to be the same and the other scooters start to decline as heat enters the system.
So in that sense what you are stating are cold figures...
Let's test them in the real world... When they get ridden hard and see who maintains during the ride
And there prismatic ev cells so there lifespan is beyond amazing.
It's so cool that you guys do genuine reviews with pros and cons, unlike so many of the shills flooding youtube. Pls keep up the good work. Just one piece of friendly input, crescent wrench ≠ box wrench, but still got what you meant.
Great videos fellas! This is a good one too! However You inspired me to buy the Emove roadster ! Just got it! Loving the content keep it up guys!
AWESOME!!! I was actually wondering about a week ago if you guy where going to review this one. Too heavy for me to lift as I have stair to navigate but very nice rig. Cheers!
Hope you enjoy it!
I just ordered the Raptor, the little brother to the Predator. I hope it's as awesome as I think it is :D
I was just going ask if they would do a review of the Raptor.
@@AJCoReVlogssorry about your scooter. I got a Swagtron 1 (it doesnt even break 20 mph on 8 inch solid tires), and the only time i repaired it was by removing one of the skrews from the decelerator. Idk why that skrew sticked my lever but it fixed it- really thats the worst if it just breaks
i been considering that raptor for purchase. did you get yours yet ? is it a decent scoot ? will it hit 50 ?
.
I have a Raptor. Got about 200 miles on it. Its very nice. Decent range and good speed. I'm about 290 lbs and it still performs quite well. Only thing I did to it was put slime in the tires.
Looks nice. I been aiming on Osprey for a while.
We had a predator growing up he cleaned pools . Many years later even on Megan's list he still cleans pools .
I was in prison with a bunch of predators, most of them are still there to this day
They've come along way since the coil suspension days only if they were more a front runner in scooter designs instead playing catch-up with everyone else, but they've put everyone to shame with their finger throttle design one of the best yet,
if you've come from a MTB background,
you know this makes absolute sense to have the throttle there
I’d love to see you talk about the Roadrunner Rx7
The PREDATOR is so cool! I'm ready to place my order!
My God 👀👀 That is absolutely insane🤯🤯
Yume is kicking ass and taking names now
Where do you go to get new tires & brakes etc installed in the UnitedStates ?
Looking forward to getting a couple of these.
Hello can you guys review the yumi hawk pro
I have a Yume Hawk Pro and I love it. My only complaint would be, although it is fun, I can see that it isn't tops in build quality. I think Yume did a great job here addressing that. I'm looking forward to seeing more from Yume in the future.
at 9:00 it sounds like chewbacca mobbing by lol
Hey guys !! I've watched a ton of your reviews and I feel you give it to us straight. So with that being said i have a question for ya. What scooter would you purchase with a $2000 budget ?
As much as you want to hate on the dead zone with the thumb throttles it’s there for a very good reason. If you had no dead zone, when you hit a bump your throttle input would change so much that the controllers could be overworked thus overheating them. Without the dead zone and also because when you hit a bump your thumb always pulls back off the throttle, you will most of the time never be pushing the throttle to max for near fractions of a second (very quick and jarring power changes) allowing no overheating. It’s really dumb though because they could fix it all if they just allowed you to adjust the compressions of whatever spring is in them.
Seems like a good scooter for the class is fighting in. Water cooled controllers needs to be a norm. Great job Yume. Actually hits 60moh too gps confirmed
Did you check the P-settings for the acceleration? 🤔
Need you guys to review the ausom leopard if you havent already. I might be getting it middle of next month but dont know if i ahould wait longer and save more for a kaabo king wolf gt or mantis pro
Yume definitely deserves some love there value for how much you get is unmatchable with most other companies. Plus there ev style battery which dramatically improves the lifespan of the battery.
Plz do a review on the q power 2
Re: the throttle, does that mean the finger throttle would be compatible with the Namis, Wolf Kings etc??
Have a Y11. And it is a nice ride. It does what I want. Ill have to buy this
how fast is it in 1st gear is there any speed limiting im considering this for doordash but i need to be able to do only 15 and 25 mph when needed is there any way we can get some data on the top speeds in the 3 gears with the speed limiting cables plugged in
Is the deck bigger then the Dultron X?
When you all are going to review the Begode ET Max, Inmotion V11Y and the Commander GT Pro?
I would love to see you guys make a video with the solar 2.0 black edition people need to know about this scooter and the way you guys break things down. I would love to see a video on it🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯👑👑
Can it harness the ot of of the sun for further range? I want one I can charge with my muscles and body weight but pedaling the hell out of it every now and then, how can they store our energy
The one thing you forgot to mention was the automotive grade battery cells. They state will last 4x longer than traditional Samsung/LG packs. Panasonic EV cells, 20 units of individual 3.6V totalling 72v50ah, 2000+ charge cycles 😮
How is the build quality compared to the Supreme 7260r?
That finger throttle makes thing sketchy for me in wanting to have my finger on the brake lever. I prefer the thumb throttle.
👍 Thank you, guys!
Our pleasure!
I have a Yume x7 that only has 30kms on it and it is totally dead . A real piece of crap. I bought a Mantis King GT and it has been flawless . Yume uses low quality parts - buyer beware .
Was it squarewave or sine wave controllers
Square wave and they are both cooked after 1 ride .
@@nabhanq
Doesn't matter.......
The Predator and Raptor are a completely different level of scooter than what they were doing before. These are seemingly their own design while the previous ones were based on pre-existing low-quality Chinese designs. That being said, I'm still not willing to be a beta tester for their very first new products.
When is the Yume osprey review next this one with 11 inch will max 65 mph plus it’s lighter
Can i use both chargers when charging
did you guys have any problem installing the steering dampner
I just ordered a fohollo f15 its comes in a week but tbis looks insane
Is there a fast charger for the predator
it looks awsome I will order one aoon.
are this Scooter self balanceing i was thinking to get 1 because i need 1 that selfbalanceing i dont no how to raid it that all
Yume😂😂. Love/hate relation with them. YUME was one of my 1st SCOOTERS they've come a long way. This scooter looks good.
The OG’s know how far they’ve come!
How did you get the 0-60 times?
I'm on an ebike that can do 29 - 32kph on flats, loaded with groceries last night i tried to race a kid on his scooter who was at the same light as me, dude took off I couldn't catch up. These things can ZIP. The suspension on them is technically better than my bike too, I have to go gentle with my 2inch roadtires over any bump. These scooters are like tanks.
My ETWOW GT Sport does 28 - 30mph and 0 to 15 mph in 5 sec, I would beat you too
No doubt. It's all about the "zero to...." Looks like a ton of fun . @@robinarden8877
E Bicycles aren't meant to compete with these. Myiddrive EMTB would get smoked by almost any E scooter, but I get a workout, and have incredible range for battery aH I run. Plus ground clearance and carrying capacity ;)
Yea thats the trade off I can do two weeks of groceries in one run, or take my cat to the vet, or take a camping gear, on my bike. @@unclejohn5012
Awesome 😎
Also guys why u don’t try the bronco vnom?
Is there going to be maintenance with the liquid cool? If you store your scooter in the garage in the winter would liquid freeze? Do you hear a pump?
I checked with them, It uses a super low conductivity anti freeze fluid in the tubes. Cooling system isn't because the controllers can't handle the heat. It's because it keeps performance at optimum levels at all times in all weather conditions and during long extended runs.
@@KayBurnI'll simply say this scooter was designed to function the way you want to ride it...
I call it the Florida scooter because it's always hot here and we can always ride, 12 months a year.
This scooter is made for year round riding in any heat.
Pretty cool
I have a Tif Galop K8, $1300 (after discount code) and it's got a 60v 38ah battery with dual 3000w motors, it takes me up to 57mph, probably even faster off the line than this because its a square wave lol although I do love how smooth your acceleration is, it is a better powered vehicle I'll give you that, and the tread on thise tires is something all companies should definitely start taking after, but I love the body build of my K8 way more, super visible at night and even have it perfectly set to do Doordash easily on with a foodbag hooked to a bike rack I mounted to the seat post, straight replaced my Mercedes 🤣 the Predator is definitely a glorious rig, but I'd say for the money I'd just save towards a WEPED lol personally i want one of their new Chrome Night E-motorcycles, f*ckin 11 grand tho, but will be soooo worth it 🥹
#Freshlycharged ,
Can you purchase an extra battery for a further ride just to be safe. And how much a battery costs ?
$1100 on their site.
can you do a real world range test?
Love it
Damn, this looks great in terms of quality and performance. Shame it's meant to be used on roads not offroading :( it would be perfect for my needs if it has fork front suspension. How would you compare it to Kaabo Wolf GTR in terms of build quality?
God damn, this scooter looks like it was made for tall people! 6'4" 200 pounds, this thing looks like it'd be a DREAM for someone like me. :DDD
That said, I would like to see range tests out of you guys. Definitely need to start putting these companies' claims to the test. Personally, I think if I'm going to buy a top level mode of transportation like this, I'm going to ride fast all the time. That's what I do on my Mantis V2 and the range claims flat out are NOT there. I can get like... 12 miles maybe when riding at full blast all the way.
Very cool but I still thing the EMOVE RoadRunner Pro 50+ MPH Seated Electric Scooter for $2600 dollars is the best bang for your buck !!!!!!!!!!!
Those big knobby tires are probably killing the acceleration. I was wondering how well it performed off-road being it's so big and heavy. Probably not as good off-road as the GTR, but the usable deck on the GTR is so small and with below par IPX rating and they are not honest about the true battery AH (it's lower than 35Ah) so that kills that deal for me. Much better off with the RS with off-road tires and raising the deck. The Predator's handlebar height is just too tall for most people. For speed, it needs to be closer to your hips, not upper stomach area. Also wondering if they have a road version tire other than the nylon CSTs everyone uses.
I definitely also wish it had a shorter stem (I'm all of 5'8 so this stem is really tall for me) and road tires. You can buy CST road tires in that size but there aren't a whole lot of options like there are in the 11" models and PMT seemingly doesn't make a tire that fits yet.
@@KevinPassino
I spoke with PMT, they have no plans on a 13" tire anytime soon. However, I'm sure as 13" scooters become more popular, they might have a change of heart. I know they'll be super expensive when they do, and if they're not thick enough, it'll will be more prone to flats with the softer compound. My 11" PMT T41 Slicks are awesome, but I don't ride it on sketchy roads.
I believe a 13-inch street tire version is coming very very soon as an option to purchase. 😉
Unfortunately it seems that you can't swap between either tires due to the motor rims options at the moment. There really aren't many 13 inch tires on the market and to accommodate the only street tire, a different sized rim is required.
Range test?
Tell them to beat 0-60 in 4.5 sec. ? The launch of 2, nd84530s 40kw is just truly out of this world !! I have 13" tires . 13" will last longer due to less jarring.
I don't care for many of yume scooters. But that's nice and beefy..I'm sure it would do much better with PMTtires..that's still alot for a YUME
Im sure the cost is good even if it may not be affordable. 63mph on a scooter, with 0-40 at around 8 seconds? Its a jack of all traits besides its weight, 170lbs is heavyyy for an escooter
I had a YUME but it had big issues with the steering damper. The handlebar would rotate independently out of alignment 😡💢.
Garbage scooters ! Never buy a Yume .
Lol I had to put cement lock on my pin to keep the steering from dropping and rotating.
@@keronfarrier2198 hmmm good idea I hated it I just ended up selling it
@@leechavarie4675hahaha sameee I had a osprey too n sold it
Sweet
thats because they shipped it wrong anything over 150lbs is supposed to be freight with a lift gate
5 sec to 30 mph yea its not acceleration beast but top speed very high 👍🏻 me ut108 v2 clock 3,5 sec to 30 mph 👍🏻 but topspeed only 50 mph vs this 63 mph 👍🏻☕️
i actuallly like this scooter but it's not available in australia doh!
Ηi guys!! 🙋 Well done to Yume for continue upgrade their scooters!!!👏👏
One thing you didn't say and it's respectable... Is about the battery pack!! This pack has CATL cells (20s1p) very LONG life cells (2000 charges)...!!👌
Also about motors are : 60H with high speed winding 22×3 (same with Dualtron Thunder 1-2, or ultra 2..) that means if you change to 11 inches street tires (much better PMT) you will have better acceleration and little more top speed!!😉
Very good review!!!😘
They ran into issues with the CATL battery supplier. They are currently only offering it with Panasonic cells.
@@Andrew-vt4jt sorry about catl... It's a brand name...
They use Prismatic cells Panasonic!! That i want to say!! Not 18650 or 21700
@@antonypartaliYou're right! Same type of cells and configuration, just Panasonic branded. The specs are slightly different from the original supplier, but 2000 recharge cycles before reaching 80% capacity is no joke! One of the main reasons I bought this scooter.
it's expensive but it looks cheap. Not a fan of the nobby tires. The Kirkland brand of scooters
😂😂 AH yea I have one, amongst many others.... Many corners cut when building this scooter...My other scooters and E Bikes has held up way better than my Yume. The nuts and bolts they use on this scooter literally disintegrates when trying to do work on it smdh
Yume sucks I had an osprey and sold it. So many problems
Let me buy this one, if I still looking these videos from freshly xD I will go to bankruptcy 😂🤣 7 scooter in arrow.
Dude you did not put a yume in the same class as the x limited.... ive been ran over on my x limited by a work van and rode home, ive seen yumes fold going over potholes.
Fessed employees are only required to lift 100 pounds yes they are careless with packages but I’d say 98% of the time you get your product in perfect condition they are packaged good not like they should be I mean it weighs as much as a sub 200cc motorcycle or scooter and isn’t in a metal crate like a motorcycle
For the price I’d still get 10 other scooters before this scooter. For the price you can basically get an InMotion RS or a Kaabo wolf king GTR FOR ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE, so why label this the most affordable bla bla bla? There’s no way I’d drop 3600 on this when I can get a gtr or an RS for 4 hundred more
What's the price?
$3699 on their website
My only issue with these scooters is they are too tall off the ground even for a taller person you gotta get used to how far you have to bend you knee to push it with your foot and yes I push mine with my foot sometimes even with a charge it’s a good work out and it charges the batteries I mean probably not a measurable amount or if it is probably not much per 100 feet you push it but are you sure there isn’t a eco mode or something turned on the scooter is electric I feel like you should be able to change the settings to get all the power at once mine I had to change the p setting to get instant throttle response the reason they ship it with delay is cause they say if you do full throttle it with instant power too often it can burn the motors so I usually ride in eco I can still do 40mph and tbh I don’t go over 30 off road the suspension on mine is about the same as yours maybe cheaper or less quality but they suck at absorbing impacts i usually bunny hop of anything rough in the road only way to not almost get thrown off
"Thrown Off".... Exactly why I got rid of my OneWheel. That thing loved to throw me off.
Always get shipping insurance!
Great E-scooter for Adults
Couriers damaged 25% of my scooters delivered....🤔
Nice scooter and very fast..but it's not a Budget scooter as you say well not for me 😆
this will be sick in a couple generations when they get it cleaned up
Ups is better they take good care of the packaging unlike FedEx smh
Price?
$3699 and there’s a code in their description for $100 off
@@ElectricScooterMan I appreciate you. Many thanks
@@GoBrand0nno problem
Ilegal in my country :( in Denmark they can max do 30 km/h and not allowed on the roads, only bicycle lane :p
$3700 no wonder they can afford to send out free ones to TH-camrs..
77kg is insane
That’s not a load switch lol. That’s a circuit breaker
I dunno man. You guys seem like a legit paid for advertisement.
Why?
It’s called you get what you pay for obviously it Ain’t no kaabo or road runner but also it ain’t the cheap old technology they had / have in the last couple years!
@@CHI_312I have a roadrunner d4 4.0 but this looks far better.
@@CHI_312roadrunner no better than yume. Just marketing. Kaabo overrated as well😂. Clowns acting like they’re NAMI or something.
Nani is overrated under powered over hyped@@theskeptik1
Nah not buying that, has good specs but me I personally don't like the appearance of the scooter. I hope instead of 11 inch the most common size wheels of most 72 volt scooter i hope the industry moves onto like 13 or 14 inch wheels instead. I think the wheels need to be bigger if they gonna decide to put so much torque to a escooter and the bigger the wheel the more comfort on the road.
You know that this Yume scooter is equipped with 13 inch tires, right?
@@philippecristian6337 yea i know that I'm not a fan of the structure design appearance.
Packages undergoing impressive missile strikes these days Shoes
Is Yume giving you that for free?
YOU NEED DRAGON PREDATOR IS THE WINNER THIS YEAR OVER ALL MODELS
Raptor review anyone, I have one on the way but my videos kinda suck.
Yes please!
Pretty dam slow off the line my new £1300 Nanrobot lightening 2.0 will smoke it all the way to 30 mph ( its top speed) and has solid tyres that never go flat. low down torque and 30 mph stop speed is all you need on an e scooter!
Idk what this thing is 😂looked like a prego test
That's just another Dual Tron 😂
Yep, it costs more than a motorcycle.
Liquid controllers 😂😂😂 . Why ?? My fardrivar is 530 phase at 84-100v it cools just fine . I make scooters, and design them , but wow . Mostly learned what NOT to do or use watching these designers. thanks for the learning curve. The design are still junk . And very disposable.
$3700 no thanks I'd rather a kaabo
A wolf king gtr or InMotion RS for 300 more? Why TF would anyone buy this crap.
you're basically riding a battery so anything really is the WEIGHT
