You made my day. I just finished installing the upgrades front and back suspension. And the dampers were my next move and you just made it so easy. Thank you!

Hey brother will this fit my Varla Eagle One perect too?
Thanks and awesome video..well spoken man!!!
Bump bump
Heeeeck yes my E-Scooter Riding Brother‼️ it will fit like a glove and will change your ride to a super smooth one. Thanks for the kind words and always feel free to subscribe if you haven't also come join our riding family at facebook.com/groups/PEVRidersClub
This video is very informative. It will really help me out when my order from kwheel arrives lol.
Thank you very much. Please do keep on making more videos.
Glad it was helpful!
What a difference the damper has made to mine. And the rugged clamp also.
Game changers 💯 Fam‼️
@@PEVRidersClub yes mate!
How long have you been riding your Z10X brother?
@@PEVRidersClub almost two month 😊 never off it. I use it to commute to work also. I'm a Scot living in Norway. A 7minute scoot from my apartment, takes me to a soled track for skiers with the roller skies. Mate, when it's empty, it's a thrill. I'm certain it's there for me haha. So lucky
That is so awesome bro 💪😜🤙
A good video giving clear helpful instructions. Hopefully my dampner has the right size screws for the steering head bracket. I look forward to future videos. How about one for a back light?
Thank you kindly 🙏 This is a great diaper for the 10X indeed. #PEVRidersClub
I need to invest in one at some point when I get mine. This video will help 👍
Thank you kindly 🙏 I'm glad to help when I can. Let me know if you have any questions #PEVRidersClub
I need one of these steering dampers SO BAD! The front end is way to twitchy! I own a Wolf Warrior as well as other scooters so I know what the front end should feel like. This should be a standard piece!
AMEN!!! I hear some people don't like it and some do. IMO is a must on these high end scooters #RideSafeMyBrother
Nice job on this install video. Looking forward to more videos from your channel.
Thank you kindly 🙏
just took a spin on my Varla Eagle one. Do they make them for the Varlas?
Vincent the Varla is the Zero 10X with a different name so yes sir 🤙
Thank you for the info for the Framessliders. When you get a chance can you give me some info where you got the power steering damper for the X 10
It's my pleasure brother! If you like to join our FB group @PEV Riders Club I will be able to help you better there also and you can even share your ride and opinions. We are all family 😊🤙🏽
Where can I get the framesliders?
Amazon
Hi Carlos can you tell me Steer Dumper can fit on Apollo Ghost. Thx 😊
No sir this specific damper won't work on the Apollo Ghost unfortunately
Very good
Thank you kindly 🙏 #PEVRidersClub
For the C bracket that bolts to the stem the 2 holes on each side have a little screw in them in each side . Should I remove them little screws on each side before putting the c bracket on with the longer screws that go into the same holes ?
Yes my brother. Remove the grubscrews already inside the stem (be very careful as they can strip very easy) then use your provided ones (which are longer so they can reach the center bold in the stem)
Are the bolts on the steering damper kwheel provides suppose to stick out?
No, there are grub screws (one) on each side of the steering colum that have to be removed first so the provided ones can. Please be careful removing them as they can strip easily. 👊
@@PEVRidersClub thanks for the Clarification. I will try it again tomorrow. 👍
My pleasure 🙏
Good video - thanks. How did you get on with the steering head bracket screws? On mine the two supplied screws bottomed-out on the internal grub screws that lock the steering head, leaving the damper bracket loose. Interested to know if you had the same issue.
Hey Doug 👋 thanks for your comment. I got longer M5 screws so they could reach the main steering bolt and the damper is rock solid there 👌 #PEVRidersClub
Falcon has a new one with a matris shock instead of the stock black one. My question for you is, should I go for the normal one and save money, or get the matris one?
I haven't seen Falcon's and since this one has worked so well for me and many of our Facebook Group members I can only recommend what I have tested brother. Thanks for your comment, please consider subscribing to our channel if you haven't #RideSafe #RideFreely #PEVFam
My Steering Damper came with much longer screws than yours at 4:40
And I am unable to fully insert these longer screws in. 😞
Hey brother I'm sorry BUT here is the easy fix. You must remove the existing grub screws in the steering colum first and than your longer screws will fit 👊😎🤙
Please if you haven't yet subscribe to our channel and also feel welcome to come hang out with us on our Facebook PEV community at: facebook.com/groups/PEVRidersClub
Got a question does the steering damper that's attached to the front bottom of the stem supposed to move when you turn the steering? After working for 2 months perfect I'm wobbling really bad now
The damper itself it's supposed slide in and out (the piston that is) BUT if you are referring to the base itself that you screw to the steering post NO it is not supposed to move. If you have more questions feel free to join our group: facebook.com/groups/PEVRidersClub so we can always help you best and quicker 🤙
Thanks for the video. What's the turning angle with the steering damper installed? Thanks again.
Thanks for your comment! I will say the turning angle is around 24 degrees with the steering damper. It feels amazing honestly I still love it after 10 months with it. If you haven't yet consider subscribing to the channel 👊😎🤙 #RideSafe&RideFreely
falconpev is releasing one in July I'm on the preorder list
Did you ever got Falcon's model?
What are those 2 grub screws for that you have to take out of the stem for the other ones to fit ?
They hold the center bolt that locks your steering column as an extra security measure (look underneath your steering post and you'll see it) so you need to remove them to fit your new ones (longer) that come with your steering damper, provided you purchased the KWheels brand steering damper like the one on my video.
Sorry for a dumb question but... what does a steering damper do and why do we need it?
Not such of thing as a stupid question. A steering damper helps prevent or minimized speed wobbles (front tires moves too much) at higher speed like 25 MPH or higher.

will this work with Varla eagle one? thanks
Yes sir‼️ Varla Eagle One is identical (same scooter)
Does this fit the Varla Eagle One ?
Yes sir it is the very same scooter 🤙
Hello good friend, after using it sometime now do you still think it's a must have for the Zero 10x ? I just don't know if it's worth my investment so I'm curious to see what you have to say about it? Thanks
That would be a huuuuuuge YES‼️💯 This is by far the best upgrade I could have done on the 10X IMO
@@PEVRidersClub Ok I will make the purchase, do you have the link to where I can purchase the one you have?

@@PEVRidersClub Much appreciated it, just subscribe as well. Keep up the great work👍
can this fit with apollo phantom?
No unfortunately
Will this fit a Nanrobot D6+
No this is specific to the Zero 10X or it variants of the T10-DDM Model.
please, this front air suspension, is it 125mm? I didn't find this model in the 135mm size. If it's 125mm, how was the performance? Is it better than the spring that comes from the factory?
Are you referring to A5 Shocks? If so they are garbage and unreliable so don't waste your time with them. I took them off a long time unfortunately.
@@PEVRidersClub Could you better describe why the A5 is so bad? Is it worse than the factory spring?
Because the casing doesn't fit properly and eventually will split in half like mine. Also their quality is very very cheap. Watch this video for the front shock: th-cam.com/video/62IYKoBh980/w-d-xo.html
@@PEVRidersClub Thanks for the answer! So, I already use the 165mm A5 in the rear suspension, this at more than 3000km, and the improvement over the original suspension was very big, and so far I haven't had problems, nor air leaks... the original springs are very bad, that's why I'm thinking of replacing the front too, I watched your video with the hydraulic suspension sold by falcon Pev, unfortunately the total amount with shipping is impossible for me, my country's currency is worth nothing in relation to the dollar😥
Yeah I understand. The A5 isn't an issue on the rear but it won't fit properly on the front 🤙
I have another question...
How waterproof is the 10x? Have you had it out in rain conditions or just wet conditions?
If so, did it affect the motors or batteries?
IMO Absolutely ZERO‼️ you may get away with a very light rain and then you dry it right away after BUT that's about it unless you water proof it yourself.
@@PEVRidersClub thanks for your reply. I'll use it in dry conditions. I've used it when it's wet a few times, no problems so far. But not in rain. Thanks 😊
Anytime brother 👊😎🤙
Update:
I travelled in wet conditions, with drizzle for about an hour (from work to home), and no problems at all. Obviously I wouldn't recommend it, but sometimes you have no choice. My main concern is the dirt and grit more than the rain. I definitely wouldn't take it out in pouring rain though.
But scooter is perfectly fine. Fully charged (checked ports also before plugging in).
Thanks for reporting that update. I'm glad your scooter is fine after that.
Where did you get the bench to sit the zero 10x on
Amazon it is a motorcycle lift.
Is this compatible for Zero8x too?
Thanks
Unfortunately not 😞
Ouch.. Okay thanks for the answer👌😃
Just keeping it 💯 with you brother 👊
Hi Carlos! great video! I Can't avoid to notice that it seems you have an air suspension on the front of the Zero 10 x, would you mind to tell us which brand/model and size it is? Thanks! and please continue to make this quality videos!
Thank you for the kind comment 🙏 this was the EXA A5 RR1 by Kindshock. DO NOT use this Airshock for the Zero 10X they are cheap and dangerous as they don't fit properly and eventually will fail causing a potential bad accident. I mention this on this video:
th-cam.com/video/cJ-TYLVhYjs/w-d-xo.html
Go to 1:25 minute where I mentioned this.
@@PEVRidersClub Thanks for the advise! i'll look for another better option!
You bet bro! You should also join us on Facebook 💪😎🤙 and if you haven't subscribed to The Club Fam!
Hey pev will this damper work on nanrobot d6+?
No sir this specific damper was created, and molded to fit only the Zero 10X and it variants.
@@PEVRidersClub thanks for your reply but which one do I need for d6+,?
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that question 😕 BUT I'm sure you can ask that in our Facebook Group and most likely you will get the help you need.
Facebook.com/groups/PEVRidersClub
Hey Carlos, so you’ve installed the steering damper for few months now and use it. I got the same ne for my Apollo Pro. My question is does your front fork of the damper come loose after you ride few times. Even the 2 screws should hold it tight in place. Mine got loosed and i had to re-installed it couple times. The firmness is set to almost softest. Appreciate your feedback.
1. Did you removed the grub screws inside the stem?
2. Mine is been solid from installed and have not moved.
You should join our FB group @PEV Riders Club where I can help you better with questions like this my riding brother.
I noticed in your video you used short screws. I did too but didn’t hold too long. I managed to remove those screws you mentioned by using WD-40 to loosen them. Then I used the long ones sent with the kit. However I noticed the fork did come loose, even the long screws held in place
Yeah thats strange that even with the long screws is still coming loose 🤔
So it happened to you also. We should write to KWheels and report the issue and see what is their response
Already did my brother. I am actually working on an update video for the damper BUT my job is been crazy busy the last 3 weeks. That's why i havent been able to post on the channel 😢
I have the x-tron x10, model similar to the zero 10x but it does not have a thing, the 2 holes that are on the fork in front, how do I do, do you have any ideas?
Oh man, those two holes are a very important part of this Steering Damper setup. It won't work without that IMO.
@@PEVRidersClub I know, you have Solutions?
Unfortunately not 😕
Hi, I just ordered a Nanrobot D6+, I know they’re identical to the 10x, any chance you know if the dampers will fit?
They are indeed very similar BUT the Nanrobot D6+ I don't believe it has the holes where the Zero 10X has the grub screws and you need those holes to mount the Steering Damper from KWheels. Sorry my PEV Riding Brother BUT I don't think it will. Wait until you get it and let me if it does have them at the bottom of the stem column. You can become a member and post that question in our FB Group also if you like 👍 @PEV Riders Club 😎👊🏽
@PEV Riders Club Thanks for the reply brother. I appreciate that. Keep up with the cool videos.
Thanks brother. I'll do my best as sometimes I feel Inadequate LOL BUT I love PEVs so much 😜🤙🏽
Ey Carlos how much is it 10x scooter in Mexico
I'm sorry bro I have no idea for the Mexico 🇲🇽 market. Here is the US 🇺🇸 they are around $1,600 to $1,800.
I can't remove my settings screws inside the column of the stem so I can't properly install my damper :(
Are there stripped? (Hopefully not) make sure to use the correct and precise size Allen key brother. Once you are able, you will replace those grub screws with the ones provided with the damper.
@@PEVRidersClub yes unfortunately they are stripped. I now need to remove them somehow. I am working on it, I probably need to drill through and use a tool removal set
Yes that happened to me but with the hex screws on the motors while changing the tires and I ended up drilling to them and using a removing tool also.
@@PEVRidersClub I fixed it and got mine on! I ended up hammering a slightly larger TORX key head and finally got it out. The drill bit I ended up buying to drill through the bolt didn't work because it wasn't harder than the bolt itself so it couldn't actually penetrate it.
Oh well it's done and fitted now, damper works perfect!
WOOHOOO!!!! I am so glad brother! You should come hang out with us at Facebook.com/groups/PEVRidersClub to show us your machine with its newly fitted Steering Damper
Hi where can I get those log nut caps? they look kind of cool.
The rubber kind or the CNC frame sliders?
Will this fit the Apollo Ghost?
Unfortunately not
@@PEVRidersClub thanks for the quick reply
Yes ofcourse I'm here to help in any way I can. We are all PEV Brothers and Sisters after all 👊😀👍
@@PEVRidersClub 👊🏼
How about the front air suspension? Can you post which one you got and installation?
I went back to stock because that KindShock A5 will fail (big no no)
this Kwheel kit is good, but way too expensive. I converted the yamaha kit with the same damper on my zero 10X, only cost me $65 total. the Kwheel kit cost over $160 Plus shipping on most of the internet sellers.
Nice! That you found an alternative solution brother. I like the KWheels because it comes with all hardware included and easy set up on the Zero 10X BUT nonetheless thank you for the great suggestion 👊🏽😎
Where did you get the parts and accessories?
If you referring to the Steering Damper. I purchased it on AliExpress from the maker and seller KWheels it took about 3 months to arrived. @PEV Riders Club
Will this one work for the blade 10
I believe so as the specs are the same as the 10X. Come to our Facebook group and post a picture of your blade 10 to verify and share with our awesome community 👊😎👍
Very nice video.... I'm looking for the same steering damper for the 11x... Any idea where I can find one?? Thank you in advance for your help 😉
Thanks for your kind words. Are you in the US 🇺🇸?

Does this fit VDM-10? Thanks!
Hey our PEV Brother 👋 🛴 Unfortunately the VDM-10 has a different framing and this damper and hardware are made to match all variants of Zero 10X so no I don't believe it will.

Does the damper you used also compatible with blade 10/speedtrott rx2000? Thank you
I believe it work with Blade 10
Do you think this would fit on the new Hero x8
Unfortunately not 😞 as this is very specific to the Zero 10X or identical frames like Apollo Pro, Turbowheel Lighting +, etc.
@@PEVRidersClub thx for your quick reply. I’m still researching for my first scooter, and getting these sort of parts plays a big part in my decision, especially the damper. If I go with the Hero x8 having the 8” wheels I really think I’ll need one. Maybe I’ll give the 10x more thought. Just liked the idea of solid tyres for no punctures.

Thank you kindly 🙏 ☺ The deck grip cover was customed made by Berry Boards un the UK 🇬🇧 I have the DNM AOY-36rc on the rear and stock on the front as I havent found yet a suitable substitute (working on it though) dur to the odd 135mm size. #PEVRidersClub

Sorry I don't understand what are you asking sir.
Where did you get the sticker for your foot stand?
It was custom made by friend of mine in the UK (Sorry for the late reply, somehow TH-cam deleted several of my responses)
Do u have direct link for this
Just go to AliExpress and search Zero 10X KWheels Steering Damper. 👊😎🤙
what front air shock is that and size.?
@@PEVRidersClub I think I have the same rear shock that you also have on your scooter. Great shock but it keeps losing air. And the negative air side the PSI goes up too high.
I heard that before but still as of today mine is doing great
any dampers under 70€!
Nothing I could find myself unfortunately 😕
my zero 10x nearly killed me today. handlebars and wheels oscillated like crazy and couldnt return to normal, crashed then slid and tumbled about 50ft. how can they sell this shit knowing it will literally throw you onto the ground?
Oh no! 🥺 What happened? How fast were you going? Most importantly are you going to be ok?
@@PEVRidersClub was going somewhere between 15- 30mph, cant really remember. then i went down a slight hill and the front wheel + stem + handlebar began wobbling like crazy. the wobbling was strong enough to throw me onto the ground and my entire left side is sore and bruised with pain in my left arm. hands tore into pieces from sliding on the road and i can barely do anything but stay home.
i get that people like this scooter but i wish i never got it. thing is a deathtrap. no way you can recover from that steering wobble and it happens REAL fast too. the first time i got lucky and wobbling stopped on its own. this time was worse
going to try and install a steering damper and maybe mods on the tire/suspension to try and stop the wobble or i might just try and sell this thing.
That is so unfortunate that you got hurt 😞 The steering damper to me a MUST because YES past 25mph IMO you start feeling unstable. Have been riding with the damper for 6 months and is soon smooth IMO.
@@PEVRidersClub lol i feel better than yesterday, im surprised im not more hurt. yeah im installing the damper on it, though im still hesistant to go above 30mph on it now
@@Blox117 to me all scooters are death traps. I broke my arm on a Dualtron Raptor. Then I got into EUCs and I feel much safer now. I can't even imagine myself going over 30mph on a kick scooter anymore. Those tiny wheels are death traps.
WHY MAKE A DAMPER ON THE LEFT , WHERE THE FOOT WILL INTERFERE !!!
It actually does not interferes with anything friend. I'm 6'1 200lbs shoes size 13 and I got plenty of room. Do you have this damper and is that why you don't like? Thank you kindly for you comment 😊🙏🏽
Too long, edit out next time!
Thank you for your helpful comment. I agree with you and this was my very first video so I didn't know whatta heck I was doing LOL! (Still don't)
