@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yes. if the rider puts any kind of mileage on a tire that's gone flat on the motor, the motor will deform and make it much harder to seat the bead. My shop usually recommends a solid tire replacement.

ISINWHEEL s9 max, 10.4 AH claimed. Mine now has nearly 350 miles on it. 500w 750 peak. It goes up hills well, top speed is 20mph. I've rode it a total of about 15 miles in a single charge here in KC which is hilly. Still had two bars of power left. Anyway highly recommend . I ride this scooter 5 days a week. About 5 miles a day. So far I haven't noticed any degrade in battery or performance. My only complaint is the scooter doesn't like rain. Gets glitchy after riding in rain until it dries out.
I just purchased a cheap scooter... A brand new Dualtron Mini Mk 2, (17.5 Ah). I got it for the Great price of £800, (approx $987). Considering it was around £1200 not that long ago... I believe I got myself a Bargain !

*_Another great list of budget electric scooters properly studied and tested by the team. Great job, guys! Though most (or all?) of the scooters mentioned are not available in my place, it's still a pleasure to watch. You can repeat doing this everyday and I'd keep watching. Cheers and ride safe always!_*
I didn't want to spend too much just to try it out, so I purchased a cheap one for $599 (reg. $899) called the EVERCROSS H5 that can carry up to 330lbs (150kg), so an adult, helmet, pads, prayers, etc. Max. speed is 28 mph (45 km/hr), and many youtubers say they feel safe going 20mph (32 km/hr). It comes with a Seat for long journeys, or the bracket can be removed to give more floor-space.
Atm I'm using a s2 Pro, bought it on sale. So far its pretty reliable. The range is good for theprice point, once in a while the tires remind me just how stiff they are 😅 yet id still choose solids for my commute! I have several scoots.
I have the gotrax G4. It's in the 500 dollar range. 500 watt motor, cruise control, disc break. Has a built in lock, folds easily. Two levels of speed, topping out at 20 MPH. It's fun, the frame is sturdy. Unfortunately, it comes with tubed tires. Two flats on the rear, a pain to change. I installed a better tire, and coated the inside with puncture tape. No issues currently. The tires are a negative for sure, always get self healing tires. I've also noticed a mileage decrease on the G4. No suspension, wouldn't recommend taking it out in the rain. On the weekends, I don't even start my truck. A run to the store, pub, whatever - it's all done on the scooter. 4 to 5 hours charging time.
Aww, still kinda sad that Xiaomi's already fallen by the wayside. I still use mine because of its inherent reliability, but one has to agree that there are way more modern equivalents in 2023, especially those with insurance and other add-ons that make them more comfortable to ride.
For me TurboAnt x7 max is the best and cheapest buy. I did change the sport mode into 15 mph to get more range and im getting 18 miles per charge and i have extra battery for easy swap so 36 miles total range.
Late to the game and I know prices change constantly, but I feel I couldn’t pass up on the 559$ from my local BB for the Niu KQi3 Pro. Just looked today and they got it back up at 799$ 😮. So far it has been living up to all the positive reviews it got 👍🏽🤙🏽
The only thing i hate about gotrax, is the ability to get it up and down takes A LOT more work than the simple snap into place which most others have now. I won't go back to Gotrax until they have have the snap up and down. I hated having to literally go onto my hands and feet and try and get the lock just right to fold it. Though my Gyrocopters 3.0 has no water proofing, it's literally 2 seconds up and down and has battery issues, i'll never go back to my Gotrax.
I wish the G3 stem latched down the way the Unagi does, rather than latching to the plastic rear fender. I didn’t have time to go into all that in this short video, but that’s one of the things I was thinking of when I mentioned that the build quality is revealing of its price. -Paul
I just bought the GoTrax Elite Max and it folds down easily and locks in place so I can carry it upstairs. However, if you twist the handlebar while it's folded (a weird thing to achieve but I managed to) it will pop out of the latch. Otherwise, it works great.

Hey Rider Guide, need advice: I've had two flats in two days on my Vsett 9+ (thorns I guess), should I try solid tires on it? Tire changes are so expensive here, I think it makes more sense to downgrade to an E2 Plus at this point for the solid tires alone. Great list by the way!
Isn’t that great when you find a video with the right information and just what you’re looking for ! In a professional presented video, good quality good content 🥇🥇🥇🥇 great video !! 🏆
Unfortunately we've never tested the 9+ or we'd have the numbers for you. We should test it though because you're not the first to ask for numbers on that one! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide have you guys tested the yadea elite prime scooter? It’s also on indiegogo. Looking at the comparison they provide, it’s almost neck and neck with the Max G2?
What is the repairability and the accessibility of parts like tires and brakes for replacement in the future for different brands? Can any of the batteries be swapped and what’s the typical lifespan?
Great video. Still confused tho. Need suggestion. My criteria: Budget $500, my office is about 6 miles (12-15 miles regular use), light weight because my house is at 2nd Floor, terrain relatively flat, beginner friendly.
Regen brakes are electronic brakes. So it basically engages the motor as a generator rather than a motor, and uses the energy from slowing you down to recharge the battery. Depending on the scooter it will recharge a litte or a lot. Some scooters have an electronic brake, but don't bother putting the electricity back into the battery because the energy arrives too fast for the battery to absorb it. Some scooters with larger batteries are able to capture more of the energy. One experiment we have never done is to range test a scooter with 0% regen and 100% regen for all of the stop signs and see how that impacts the range (what % different if measureable). -Paul
How is the emove touring a better value for heavier riders than the Swagtron Swagger 5 Boost that's almost as good at less than half the cost? The Swagger has a higher weight limit of 325 pounds, too!
When do we get Paul on an EUC!?!? I'm so curious as to his opinions as a former motorider. Also G30lp can be found for around $500, it's probably the most durable for that price.
i got one of those chinese escooters, the battery kept gradually losing charge, after around 2 years now its barely usable, i can't even go anywhere the battery just dies on me. I tried various chargers, no dice.
Which scooter did you buy? The most important thing with lithium ion batteries is to never let it sit at low charge for a long time. It’s not the best to store it at 100% charge either, but storage at low charge (
I have a uscooter booster sport and my girl got a unagi classic and were gonna get twin turboants but were worried that it wouldn't b as portable to carry..she already doesn't like carrying or leaving her scooter outside lock or no lock whenever we go into stores or a plaza..hopefully it'll b better once I get some carry bags with rollers on em or if we go for fluid horizon for a lil more cash that have dolly wheels
Thanks Paul for this great breakdown! It is good to see videos that cover all segments of the market especially the biggest segment. I would put the Inokim Light 2 at $699 in this category. The Inokim Light 2 is faster than most of the scooters here and more portable with great dual drum brakes. Inokim also has outstanding build quality. In addition, they replaced the rear tire with a solid tire so much fewer flats and generally the same okay ride comfort. I also think the E-Twow GT and Mosquito should be considered since they have also had price drops and would stand-up well with any of these scooters. I find it curious why people want wider handlebars on vehicles going at these speeds. You should be turning more with body weight adjustments and very tiny movements of the handlebars. I have never had any instability or wobble issues with narrow handlebars as long as you know how to turn properly and have good stem geometry. At 25mph or less you don't need MTB wide handlebars to turn properly or cruise easily at top speed.
I have a GoTrax Elite Max and notice that at rest the throttle moves smoothly but it's slightly jerky when in motion. Is this normal, or could it be a suboptimal unit?
would like to know why you think s2 is the best value than the other versions. I recently purchased the s2 and am having buyer's regret cause am wishing I bought the pro instead. Are my worries for nought?
Got the Gotrax Flex Escooter as a result of this video and have been SOO happy with the purchase. Would have never realized that such a cheap seated scooter had such an impressive range without this video! Thank you for putting in the work!
Thank you so much for this great video. So, I live in Dallas and I want a scooter to take me to my Gym which on google maps is 5 minutes on bike. Which most affordable one would you recommend based on my situation?
I got evercross 10k pro about 4 months ago and thumbs up. Sure it's not a segway, Yada Yada but wow it's impressive to me. I imagine the H5 same as in just fine and then some.
Sir, Shopping for a scooter can be overwhelming. I would like a scooter with 10" wheels that will fold and fit in a truck. I will only ride 2 miles a day. Thanks for any recommendations.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I mention the advantages of solid tires in the E2 section and the Unagi, but I’ll see if I can work something in at the end of next year’s video that’s more explicit. -Paul
Ok, I had a look and don’t recognize the company or the design. I’d definitely be wary of buying from a brand that may not have warranty support or even parts available if something breaks. Their own site warns that there are circooter sellers out there who sell and run.
Got two ok cheap scoots for errands. an "ezscooter" for 300, 20lbs (!!!), 250w, 12mph, 8-9 mile range (they said 12 but we all know how that goes) no suspension etc, not great build quality. When it finally busted, I replaced it with a Caroma, $200, 25lbs, 250w 12mph, 8-9 miles range, better build quality and teensy bit more powerful. I've a 40lb faster better made ride for fun.
I know right so confusing for scooter to have 2 thumb pedals. I get the car pedals confused too. Sometimes I press the gas when I wanted to brake. Don't get me started on manual cars with three pedals.
if your a lighter rider like me about 130lbs the ninebot d18w is pretty good for the price I did get the top speed to go more than 15mph i would say the range is a little on the short side so I would go with the d18u instead
Really love your videos, and the support they provide with real in depth reviews on scooters. I’ve been looking into a scooter, and not looking for the best of the best, but some peers recommend the hi boy s2 pro for the 500 watt motor, and features it brings. Though I am starting to like the recommended pic you mention on here as you did in 2022 review which was one you stet to recommend. It has a less powerful motor and heavier, but you mentioned reliable 2 year warranty, and that’s a big incentive for me $ wise. This do you or anyone recommend the hi boy s2 pro to start? Or even something lightly used with warranty?
Great video!! thanks for that. I was confused between buying the Turboant X7 Max and NIU KQi2 Pro. X7 max has higher speed and has a higher range, while KQi2 pro has a better build quality and offers 2 years of warranty. Both are available at exactly the same price. Are there any more significant differences between the two? I am not able to pick one over the other.
When you test your scoooters mile range, do you test it by driving it yourself or do you put it on eco mode, weightless and single motor wheel mode? This is very important for me to know.
This feels like a life saver for me. I'm struggling to get a business off the ground, relying on a 20 year old Econoline van (that gets 4 miles to the gallon) to get me around town because my sedan broke down last year, but now that van had some major problems start up. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about having to throw money at the thing. This is an amazing option I wasn't aware of that can realistically replace most of my driving with an ultra-affordable option that will work even slightly outside the bounds of a city in greater-suburbia. I have a feeling, beyond the money saving, as a former street skateboarder who specialized in deft navigation of tricky city streets, this will be very natural feeling. Thank you!

Sir, Shopping for a scooter can be overwhelming. I would like a scooter with 10" wheels that will fold and fit in a truck. I will only ride 2 miles a day. Thanks for any recommendations.
The list is the best top choices!
Is there a scooter that could perform in colder weather? I live in Michigan and am considering a scooter for work commuting.
How cold are you referring to?
Hi boy s2 max or original Segway ninebot max? Thinking the new Segway g2 is too heavy for what I need…I have other scooters.
We would choose the original Segway!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuideanks, do you have a code? These damn scooters have changed my disabled life lol.
Edit: I bought the original max ty
great job thanks for teaching us just a little bit more about the more affordable scooter ❤ keep on riding.❤
Our pleasure! -Vosk
what do you think of the sisigad b18a?
we have not tried that brand.
Maybe mention the difficulty in changing air filled tires???!
Yes it can be quite difficult! -Vosk
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I mention the advantages of solid tires in the E2 section and the Unagi, but I’ll see if I can work something in at the end of next year’s video that’s more explicit. -Paul
@RiderGuide hey guys, have you ever tested the Circooter Raptor. Looking for more information on this model. Thanks in advance.
We haven’t tested that one. I’ll look it up. -Paul
Ok, I had a look and don’t recognize the company or the design. I’d definitely be wary of buying from a brand that may not have warranty support or even parts available if something breaks.
Their own site warns that there are circooter sellers out there who sell and run.
Love that call out on robo voice videos! I’m sick and tired of them
Noted! Thanks for the feedback. -Vosk
So did I make a mistake buying Navee S65 at $999 in Sweden? I weigh 117kg (257 lbs)
We have not tested that one yet! -Vosk
Excellent reviews... this is how its done! Thank you...
Thanks for watching! -Vosk
My e2 will be delivered tomororw 🥳 i dont care if its slow. I just need something to save on gas to get me to work
We’re amazed that it’s possible to get a Segway-Ninebot at this price! Let us know how you like it! -Paul
What would you recommend? Apollo Air 2023 or the Segway Ninebot Max G2
Both are excellent! Apollo is at a great price now with code RVG10 , cheers
Thank you for the review give me a few to think about. I own a vsett 10+r and sometimes its a bit much so nice to see a good alternative👍👊💪❤️🤔
It’s fun to have a lighter and less expensive scooter around some times! -Paul
This is actually the most clutch channel ever needs more subs
Thanks so much!
Got two ok cheap scoots for errands. an "ezscooter" for 300, 20lbs (!!!), 250w, 12mph, 8-9 mile range (they said 12 but we all know how that goes) no suspension etc, not great build quality. When it finally busted, I replaced it with a Caroma, $200, 25lbs, 250w 12mph, 8-9 miles range, better build quality and teensy bit more powerful. I've a 40lb faster better made ride for fun.
Thanks for telling us about your cheap scooter finds. I'll look those up. -Paul
11:04 there are TWO Thumb Throttles?
One is a throttle on the right! And other is a dedicated electric brake on the left. -Vosk
That's kinda confusing, isn't it?
I know right so confusing for scooter to have 2 thumb pedals. I get the car pedals confused too. Sometimes I press the gas when I wanted to brake. Don't get me started on manual cars with three pedals.
Why don't you cover Navee scooters? The s65c isn't a bad unit.
Hopefully in the future!
What do you think about buying from Chinese websites?
Not recommended!
if your a lighter rider like me about 130lbs the ninebot d18w is pretty good for the price I did get the top speed to go more than 15mph i would say the range is a little on the short side so I would go with the d18u instead
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you tell me on what you think on the recent volpam scooter
We have not tested that brand!
Really love your videos, and the support they provide with real in depth reviews on scooters. I’ve been looking into a scooter, and not looking for the best of the best, but some peers recommend the hi boy s2 pro for the 500 watt motor, and features it brings. Though I am starting to like the recommended pic you mention on here as you did in 2022 review which was one you stet to recommend. It has a less powerful motor and heavier, but you mentioned reliable 2 year warranty, and that’s a big incentive for me $ wise.
This do you or anyone recommend the hi boy s2 pro to start? Or even something lightly used with warranty?
S2 Pro is a great starter scooter! -Vosk
May I ask you another question. Are 8.5 inch fat tires better then a 10 inch scooter the hi boy s2 pro has? From you experience reviews.
What about the Xiaomi 4 lite any feedback on it?
We have not tested that scooter!
Great video!! thanks for that.
I was confused between buying the Turboant X7 Max and NIU KQi2 Pro. X7 max has higher speed and has a higher range, while KQi2 pro has a better build quality and offers 2 years of warranty. Both are available at exactly the same price. Are there any more significant differences between the two? I am not able to pick one over the other.
I really like the ride quality of the NIU. If you think you’ll miss the higher speed of the X7 Max (you might) then there’s always the KQi3 Pro! -Paul
How about hiboy ks4 pro can make review about that scooter please
We will take a look thanks’
@ thank you 😊
How do these do in rain?
Light rain is okay! Depends on IP rating
Have you ever tried Aovo?
We have not tried that brand yet! -Vosk
can you review the iscooter i9max potentialy?
No plans for it unfortunately! -Vosk
Do you recommend an iscooter i9
We have not reviewed that brand!
Best scooter for ride comfort/suspension for less than 600$?
Check out our list! Prob the NIU scooter riderguide.com/best-rated/best-cheap-electric-scooters/
Great help! Thank you! 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
have you tested aovo pro ?
Not yet!
Where is g30lp or le on this video or your website? Its the best scooter for money.
We did review that scooter!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide omg🤥 im sorry i literally just wasted your time
What about the segway es4?
It’s an older scooter! -Vosk
This is the best out of all Im definitely getting it 3:02
E-TWOW or UScooter?
We like uscooter!
Great selection of scooters, and legitimately tested.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words! -Vosk
Most links don’t work and the unagi wants $109 extra one time payment 😢
The one month free link should be working! Not sure about the down payment.
What about the Splach Titain ?
We haven’t tested it yet but Mitchell has one from RK9 Rides. I’m going to ask him to bring it in so I can do a quick ride on it. -Paul
very useful video, thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Do a video on the hover 1 alpha electric scooter.
In the works actually!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide awsome!
When you test your scoooters mile range, do you test it by driving it yourself or do you put it on eco mode, weightless and single motor wheel mode? This is very important for me to know.
Top speed mode and I drive myself!
I feel if you mentioned the Apollo air you should have also mentioned the Fluid Freeride Mosquito
We did review that scooter and it is a excellent value for sure. -Vosk
⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡
*Nice lineup!*
Thanks so much! -Paul
This feels like a life saver for me. I'm struggling to get a business off the ground, relying on a 20 year old Econoline van (that gets 4 miles to the gallon) to get me around town because my sedan broke down last year, but now that van had some major problems start up. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about having to throw money at the thing. This is an amazing option I wasn't aware of that can realistically replace most of my driving with an ultra-affordable option that will work even slightly outside the bounds of a city in greater-suburbia. I have a feeling, beyond the money saving, as a former street skateboarder who specialized in deft navigation of tricky city streets, this will be very natural feeling. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by! -Vosk
