Scooter is a lot better if you want safety and range. Skateboard is more better for store shopping or work. The problem with scooters is you can't just bring it inside stores. They want you to lock it up outside like a bike. But yes scooter are fun to rip around.

Great review Sam. Super well structured. Relevant and to the point. Like that you still went with your gut and heart over liking the board over the scooter.

Not because its better quality...cause i can assure you its not.
I want this scooter so bad. I weigh 220lbs and this is one of the things that is keeping me motivated to loose weight. The more weight i loose the more range I will get with the scooter
Something like this should cost $300.00. The price is fucking ridiculous. If I buy something like this I want my money back in savings the very first year, and that means non winter months. At $4.00 a day in bus fair that's 400 days before I get my money back.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for your take on the Boosted Rev! You’re one of the best reviewers! Still remember the CES14 video you did for The Verge and the electric skateboards from that year. Amazing to see how far we’ve come on these things.
Excellent review, Sam. The Rev looks like great fun and would be awesome riding around the city. That weight, tho. It's almost triple the weight of a Mini-X, which I just got 2 months ago (and heavier than most bicycles). I'm a small, middle age woman is just beginning to ride it comfortably around town and can just about carry the Mini-X for a few short minutes, but at least I can bring it in a restaurant or supermarket, convenience store, subway train or LIRR and have it sit with me and another person. Anyway, I'm sure scooter fans will love it anyway. Great video!
Hey Sam Sheffer! Thanks for the informative review! When riding with the chrome helmet and that mask you should play the Darth Vader music from a loudspeaker! Ride ride ride!
INOKIM Light 2 : $500 here in China. 35km/h max speed, 13kg, 8.5" pneumatic CST tires, 350W motor, 30-35 km on a single charge. My old Light 1 is still operational after 3 years, 5500 km and a battery change. Enough said ;)
I wouldn't recommend the scooters Bird and Lime use. I own the Ninebot ES2 which is what Bird uses in my area and the scooter has been a massive pain in the butt. Customer service for warranty repairs are near non existent, the front tire wears significantly faster than the rear and the screws holding the stem seem too small to stay in place. The M365 is a solid scooter but suffers from similar problems (folding mechanical part is problematic, rear brake use destroys rear light cable, no US customer support)
Depends on what you value and your budget. If you need a strong commuter vehicle and $1600 is ok for you, it seems like you won't find any other scooter that matches the build quality, refinement, and power that is in the Rev. I've researched the other scooters over $1000, and some are more powerful with better suspension, but wires are everywhere, and the finish isn't as good. Trade-offs. As for scooters in the

@@Imran-tn1mw No. There are a number of specifications/ aspects in which the scooters are being limited. Max 20 km/h, 250 Watt Continoius/500 Watt Peak, they have to be insured etc. This scooter would not be legal to drive in public places in Germany.
What's the battery capacity? Just know the new Ninebot ES MAX can last even longer, thanks to 40 mile/64km range! Plus, it has 10" inch tubeless, vacuum tires for comfort & handle bumpy terrains (no suspension), IPX7 water-resistant & its built to last long.
Dope Review, Sam! Unfortunately you won‘t be able to ride it in Germany legally. Scooters will be permitted to riding faster than 20kph... Though those scooters are much lighter at least. =)
Here's the question, Sam: if you were a lightweight person with passable skate skills who needs to commute the city, would you get the Rev, the Boosted Mini, or the Super 73? Or do you get the Boosted Mini and wait for the Boosted Ebike?
@@chrisskinner6483 not every dualtron is 4000 even a dualtron raptor will out perform it. Even so dualtron is not the best scooter either very hard to claim the best without experiencing others in the same price range
I love my boosted board, but I feel like boosted needs to step it up with their scooter line. It's a bit too pricey for what it actually delivers, especially when you compare it to something like Turbowheel lightning, which has 40 mph top speed, 40 miles of range, and is in a similar price range. I am not sponsored by them at all, but I'd recommend watching a review of it down below to get an idea of what else is out there.

Don't get that unless you want to ride slow and short distance. The Dualtron Ultra can hit a speed of 80kph and a max range of 120km. It rocks twin disc brakes and is much easier to control. Just make sure you get road tyres than your scooter can hit close too 100 as mine does. www.dual-tron.com/page/ultra
I've reserved a Rev already but keep looking for honest reviews. This review is certainly one of the better ones. Objective and critical but much more useful of a review than simply glowing reviews or simply negative reviews for entertainment. I realize it's a much more expensive scooter and certainly pretty heavy but I figure the build quality, as highlighted in the video, make up for it. I decided against the cheaper scooter options in the $500 to $1000 range because their build quality is lacking. I've seen the Rev in person but haven't ridden one yet. I'm comfortable it will be satisfactory as a commuting vehicle. Thanx! Edit: really appreciate the demonstration of lugging this massive thing around the subway, stairs, the display demo, the charging explanation, etc.
The lack of Suspension and along with being over 40 lbs. Makes me want to wait for something more comfortable. There are better specs out there for scooters but none with the "Boosted" brand. I'll wait for the next Gen
@Marty "suspension" is not necessary for most city riding and that's all I intend to do. I don't have to struggle with stairs so the weight is not an issue for me either. It was built with "vehicle grade" in mind, meaning it should be sturdy and tough enough to withstand street use. I think there is no "best" product in general but what fits one's own needs best. what other scooters do you believe have equally good specs?
Great scoter. But danmmmm. Here's a few problems. ** It's $1599. ** It's only go 25 mph. ** It's slow battery consumption. ** 3 hrs to fully charged then can't last at least 50 to 100 miles distance. ** It sucks. There's a lot better scooter out there
I'd love to see you review some other boards in the future. The electric longboard market has been evolving a lot in the "budget" department. There are some actually viable options like the Exway X1 or Wowgo 3. You probably won't see this comment but love your vids!
"It's pretty hard to look cool on a scooter" 😂 Admittedly this is really making me interested with the Rev though. I like the simplicity of the Boosted Boards, but this could be *potentially* safer and easier to use.
For anyone interested in this scooter I would highly recommend looking into the zero 10x, this scooter has a max speed of about 35-40 mph and cost a similar price. The suspension is amazing and battery life phenomenal. Way better value for your buck there.
I've been wanting to buy this and wasn't sure if it's worth it. You Def helped out with my decision although I still have one question. Anyway to prevent theft. I can usually carry it with me wherever I go but sometimes I just wanna lock it somewhere. Is that at all possible??
Not OP but i can vouch for nyc, cops wont bother, been riding for 1-2 months along with other people. Unless you re attracting attention at 30 mph with really bright lights, then maybe.
Hello as someone who is interested in commuting using a electric vehicle I am curious how you can stay safe and ride properly in a big city like nyc. Great vid keep it up
I would like to see 2.0 to have: 1-Suspension 2-Fully weatherproof 3-Cables all hidden inside frame 4-Swapable batteries with overcharge protection 5-50 mile range 6-Pules break light integrated into rear light
Man, if Boosted made one of those with a more "off the road" mindset. I'd be down for one. Where I live in Colorado there's a lot of trails and places to ride but most are also unpaved and certain spots get to a point where a bit larger tire and maybe some suspension would go a long way to justify buying one.
In all honesty, I think the Evolve GTR, or Evolve as a whole, is leading the charge in electric ridables. It really does not get the attention it deserves in the States as, in all categories", the best electric ridable available. They don't make a scooter, but as a board it is unmatchable. Range, remote, all terrain, aesthetics. Sam you should check out the recent 30 minute documentary that Evolve Skateboards put out about there GTR, I think you would be sufficiently impressed. Boosted gets a lot of love in this community and they are a great company, but it is just undeniable how far superior Evolve is, both in specs, and as a total experience. I would love to see your review of the newly released GTR.

I've reserved a Rev already but keep looking for honest reviews. This review is certainly one of the better ones. Objective and critical but much more useful of a review than simply glowing reviews or simply negative reviews for entertainment. I realize it's a much more expensive scooter and certainly pretty heavy but I figure the build quality, as highlighted in the video, make up for it. I decided against the cheaper scooter options in the $500 to $1000 range because their build quality is lacking. I've seen the Rev in person but haven't ridden one yet. I'm comfortable it will be satisfactory as a commuting vehicle. Thanx!
Edit: really appreciate the demonstration of lugging this massive thing around the subway, stairs, the display demo, the charging explanation, etc.
The lack of Suspension and along with being over 40 lbs. Makes me want to wait for something more comfortable. There are better specs out there for scooters but none with the "Boosted" brand. I'll wait for the next Gen
@Marty "suspension" is not necessary for most city riding and that's all I intend to do. I don't have to struggle with stairs so the weight is not an issue for me either. It was built with "vehicle grade" in mind, meaning it should be sturdy and tough enough to withstand street use. I think there is no "best" product in general but what fits one's own needs best. what other scooters do you believe have equally good specs?
Great vid!👏👏
Hopefully they can reduce the weight and increase range for hilly places like SF
Solid review. Can’t wait for it to release. I preordered on release so... I’m super excited.
sam also forgot to say “WEAR A HELMET!!”
Helmets are for pussies.
He said it by always showing himself with one on. Thanks for doing so. Nothing is worth a head injury.
I like the addition of wheel covers.
I think too pricy. I will stick with boosted board. I also have Xaomi m365 around $500 that is enough... lol
I agree
Sam sheffer, I love the helmet you're wearing in this video, where can I find it?
Boosted rev: $1,599
Dualtron: Hold my beer
I'm old and I want one now...this review has ne fooled in to thinking I can use it. How fun.
Watched this on my apartment steps in BK with my parents and Patrick. I love it 🥰 great job dude!
Who's Patrick
Your videos are so much filled with information that people want to hear!
the 180 degree turn radius is bad design IMO u could flip it easily as this was the reason why most scooter accidents happened
That was by far the best, most informative review I have watched of any product this year! Excellent work Sam!
Great scoter. But danmmmm.
Here's a few problems.
** It's $1599.
** It's only go 25 mph.
** It's slow battery consumption.
** 3 hrs to fully charged then can't last at least 50 to 100 miles distance.
** It sucks.
There's a lot better scooter out there
I'd love to see you review some other boards in the future. The electric longboard market has been evolving a lot in the "budget" department. There are some actually viable options like the Exway X1 or Wowgo 3. You probably won't see this comment but love your vids!
The most powerful scooter you ll ever ride !!?
lol
kai Ryu when I heard that I immediately thought this guy must be getting paid by boosted 🤔
@@GAD76 offcourse this is an ad for boosted, another xiaomi style scooter, boring, nothing new!
"It's pretty hard to look cool on a scooter" 😂 Admittedly this is really making me interested with the Rev though. I like the simplicity of the Boosted Boards, but this could be *potentially* safer and easier to use.
tesla would leave these scooter startups in the dust if they decide to join the market
Looks solid. Good review comparing e-skate and e-scoot. It will be nice when the weight comes down on some of these electric vehicles
I think the ability to look cool on a scooter is highly dependent on the scooter and changing social attitudes.
Sam I have a boosted rev and when I hit the brake the back light turns on. So they updated it.
Sam, are you gay? Lol something in your voice is just glowing today Hunnie
Lol not being rude here but are you? I'm just having a hard time understanding what would make u think that.
board vs scooter. which is safer? I don't want to fall off a board but it looks fun.
For anyone interested in this scooter I would highly recommend looking into the zero 10x, this scooter has a max speed of about 35-40 mph and cost a similar price. The suspension is amazing and battery life phenomenal. Way better value for your buck there.
Love the production quality in this video. The white background looks so dope.
I've been wanting to buy this and wasn't sure if it's worth it. You Def helped out with my decision although I still have one question. Anyway to prevent theft. I can usually carry it with me wherever I go but sometimes I just wanna lock it somewhere. Is that at all possible??
The one review everyone’s been waiting for. Awesome stuff Mr. Sheffer!
Great vid Sam, my first in depth look at the rev so this was awesome to see!
An in-depth and balanced review. Nice work! 👍🏻
Question. Did you get stopped by police during the time you were testing it in NYC?
Not OP but i can vouch for nyc, cops wont bother, been riding for 1-2 months along with other people. Unless you re attracting attention at 30 mph with really bright lights, then maybe.
Great review Sam. As always. Thanks for this.
Hello scott
Man your production quality was improved way too much! The review was awesome. As a Mini X owner I don't need the Rev but I want it 😅
Yannis Papanastasopoulos how do you like the Mini X ? I just ordered one
I'd love to see more reviews in this exact same format! Also, boosted board/scooter city etiquette video please!
Hello as someone who is interested in commuting using a electric vehicle I am curious how you can stay safe and ride properly in a big city like nyc. Great vid keep it up
This honestly is a better option for those who have longer commutes. Those who have shorter commutes should get any booster board
I would like to see 2.0 to have:
1-Suspension
2-Fully weatherproof
3-Cables all hidden inside frame
4-Swapable batteries with overcharge protection
5-50 mile range
6-Pules break light integrated into rear light
You’re asking for a lot.
Man, if Boosted made one of those with a more "off the road" mindset. I'd be down for one. Where I live in Colorado there's a lot of trails and places to ride but most are also unpaved and certain spots get to a point where a bit larger tire and maybe some suspension would go a long way to justify buying one.
Great review!
In all honesty, I think the Evolve GTR, or Evolve as a whole, is leading the charge in electric ridables. It really does not get the attention it deserves in the States as, in all categories", the best electric ridable available. They don't make a scooter, but as a board it is unmatchable. Range, remote, all terrain, aesthetics. Sam you should check out the recent 30 minute documentary that Evolve Skateboards put out about there GTR, I think you would be sufficiently impressed. Boosted gets a lot of love in this community and they are a great company, but it is just undeniable how far superior Evolve is, both in specs, and as a total experience. I would love to see your review of the newly released GTR.
It might be pretty but the competition is cheaper, lighter, faster with longer range. Is the design worth it?
Look sweet!!! Great review. Just wondering if your going to to do any other reviews for other scooters
