Another one of a kind comparison test! Bravo! I'm 6'2 ,165 lb. and get 18-20 mi. on ave. with some modest hills and no cargo. Display is not good to read in sun- needs a more viewable screen like the b& w on my Rad City bike. The 9 shines in braking but both accelerate adequately enough for us rural commuters. Lighting is quite good on both with the 9 being more robust. Three cheers for the testers and the two snazzy- looking Zeroes( Zeros, O' s). My favorite E scooter channel rides again- thanks,guys and gal!
Thanks for the kind words, i'll pass them onto the crew. Tilting the display helps but you are right sun visibility is a weak point. I agree both scooters blow away most other for commuters and go plenty fast, at reasonable speeds (legally only 15 mph here) around traffic both brakes work well.
If the LCD is hard to read or looks scratched then try peeling the factory plastic cover off. It doesn't look like it peels off but it does. Hope this is the issue you are referring to.
Thanks Jim, Sara, and Milo for the great comparison! I was already going with the 8, but I’m glad to hear that the riding experience is as good if not better than on the 9!
@Henry B, The only time I wish I had the 9 is when I ride across really hard bumps like railroad tracks, etc. Also if I rode close to the max speed around traffic I may lean towards the dual brakes on the 9. For my use the 8 is right on the money, I rode it to work today! Thanks for watching!
Electron Surfer - makes sense, I‘m confident that the 8 will be sufficient for my needs as well (riding 1.8 miles to work and back on a street). Thanks again!
Hi Jim, enjoy your channel and your passion for scooter and reviewing them. I couldn’t find any footage though of how they handle and sound on different terrains. I got the Zero8 not long ago but i noticed immediately out of the box, it’s fine and smooth on any concrete surface but as soon as i come across a different surface that has more undulation or bumps like a wharf with decking or pebbles or otherwise it just produces quite a rattling noise from the base of the unit. I thought at first it was coming from the rear wheel but upon closer listening it sounds like it’s from the under the deck. I recorded an audio file of it if you would like to hear it. Let me know an email address and will send it on. The rattling attracts a lot of attention when it happens by bystanders and just sounds and feels unstable and ready to fall apart. Welcome any thoughts you might have?
Thanks for the video. I'm fairly lightweight (63 kg) and managed around 22 miles on a single charge on the zero 8 (and didn't use my brake at all). The first half of the journey I set to 80% power - the second half to 100% as power diminished. I also took your advice in changing the P15 setting (cutoff voltage) to 41 instead of 39 to prolong battery life. I found that the battery display is unreliable and the ride a little bumpy in places but otherwise a great scooter - well pleased with it.
@JellyMonster1, I'm glad to hear its working well for you, that's good range. I would imagine the Zero 9 would be a little bumpy in those same places with just a little less so. I think both of our Zero 8's will serve us well for quite awhile! Happy Scootering!
I had initially ordered the nine, but after watching your review I changed it to the end. I like the fact that it does feel lighter and breaking is not as extreme
I have zero 8, new, updated version with 48V battery and 500W (peak power 1100W) motor and I am 95kg. The scooter is handling my weight without any problem. It is locked to 25 km/h and I do not tend to unlock it (cut the white wire) as I believe going faster is dangerous. One point worth mentioning: My zero 8 came with a 50.4V charger which is able to charge the 48V battery to a maximum of around 74%. Why? Answer: note that the maximum (100%) charging capacity of 48V battery is not 48V but 56.4V. To charge your 48V battery to 100%/56.4V you would need a stronger charger (e.g. 60V). Providing a weaker charger is a smart trick some manufacturers use in order to prevent their buyers from overcharging the battery (keeping your battery charged above 30% and below 80% will triple the battery lifetime). The light on the charger will turn green once the current stops flowing, in other words, there is no more difference in the potential between the charger output and the battery. This only means that the battery charged to the maximum capacity of what a CHARGER can provide and this is not necessarily the max capacity of the battery itself. So if you see a green light on the charger, indicating that the charging is finished, but your scooter only shows 4 out of 5 bars, check your charger's power and the voltage reading of your scooter. They should be similar (e.g. for 50.4V charger your 48V scooter should read 50.1 or 50.2V when charged to the max). Search the internet for "Battery pack voltage comparison charge".
Great video I got zero 8 prior to watching this video and I love the 8 but wanted more speed and was considering getting 9. But after watching this video 9 isn't that much faster. I just wish the deck was wider and longer on the 8. Overall I'm happy with my 8. Thanks for giving me vicariously experience without having to make another purchase
@@ElectronSurfer so I decided to get one in London. It's pretty pricey but I think the quality is worth it. Where I live in Warsaw Poland you can't walk out on the streets without scooters flying past you. Lime, Bird etc and lots of people are buying Xioami scooters. I thought about it but then saw your vid and you turned me onto the Zero 9 so I am going to buy next month. 😀
@@kamer7pl hi, no not yet. I have decided to wait until September as I need it most from them onwards and other priorities came first. I will inform you after I have got it to let you know how I feel. Cheers. 😀
Have you tried 2 persons riding the zero 9 scooter?. I'm try to figure if I can go and pick up my 9 year old daughter at school. Great video. Thanks a lot.
i have the same inquiry for my 6 year old daughter. I see parents doing it but i never got a chance to ask which scooter they were using. Please advise if you get or have gotten any info. Thanks!
I just got my zero 9 last week and it goes up to 32mph and I'm 194lb. My zero 9 is a 600 watt motor and it has an updated LG battery. It's plenty powerful enough for my commute
Did you get the one with the 52v battery. The Zero 9 I reviewed was the 2018-2019 model. The motor wattage doesn't affect speed just the battery and controller output. I plan to compare the Zero 8 and Zero 9 2020 models very soon.
Thanks a lot that's a great video! In the websites I visit at this date I see that the Z8 has a 36V - 10Ah battery. Do you know if they downgraded their battery on the Z8? I would love a Z9 battery with the Z8 body!
The Z8 available here has been 48v for awhile, I think it was 2018 when it was 36v. Here are s ok me specs. revrides.com/collections/electric-scooters/products/zero-8-electric-scooter
I enjoyed the comparison and found it interesting that you all prefer the Z8 over the Z9. This makes me contemplate which one I want now. I actually have a couple of questions. I noticed on the RevRides website that both of the scooters are out of stock, you wouldn't happen to know how often they restock on the scooters? Also, do you know anything about electric scooters being able to be taken onto airplanes? I attempted to research this myself, but all I could find was information about pro scooters as well as electric wheelchair scooters. I would love to hear back! Thank you in advanced, and keep up with the great content!
I'm so sorry we are out of stock. Sales really picked up in March and caught me off guard. New stock should arrive May 5th. I'll need a week to do quality checks then I'll be ready to ship orders out.
Regarding airplanes, most airlines state you cannot check in luggage with Li-ion batteries. Most airlines have a max Watt-hours rating allowed for carry-on luggage and scooters far exceed the limit. Not so great for vacation or business travel.
@@RevRides360 Thank you so much for responding with this information. It was all really helpful. I'm def looking forward for the restock, so I can purchase a scooter!
@Mark Andrada, I had all of the Zero 8 controls at there higher settings. I don't know what the controller output is in relation to those settings. I am not sure what the actual stock settings are from RevRides for power level, acceleration, and braking, I would assume most people would want them all at maximum. Thanks!
Whats your thought on tires with air vs just fully rubber.... when it comes having to change a tire due to a nail? That's really the only thing holding me back on the 9.. or am i just being over concerned? Thanks
I just got a solid tire for the front of the Zero 8. I"ll post that video soon, it really affects the ride quality negatively. I'd suggest buying an extra tube or the solid tire when you get the scooter and putting sealant in the stock tubes. Tire changing on the motor tire is a pain, the non-motorized two piece rim is a quick and easy change. I have not had a flat to date. If you bring a few tools when you ride even a flat isn't a huge issue in my mind. Thanks for asking!
Contacted Rev Rides about shipping charge to Hawaii. We really need a Distributor in Hawaii for Zero Scooters... it's $500 for shipping if i were to purchase it personally.
@embazle, that's pretty steep. Its too bad you can't fly with that much battery, you could almost fly to Portland and get to check out some micro-breweries for that shipping charge.
@@greplink definitely no amazon prime label on it that's for sure, fortunately there are some dealerships here that are catching the hint, although none yet has any Zero 8's, it looks like a xiomi look alike from what i saw, which would suffice as a replacement for now.
@Morning Sessions, There is a difference, the Zero 8 seems to have a little more suspension travel which cancels out some of the comfort difference. The Zero 9 is more comfortable and the air tires gives some offroad potential. I almost feel like the Zero 8 is a street bike and the Zero 9 is more of a dual sport. Thanks for commenting!
@@arbureanuandreea2778 I got one to try, I will try to get to it as soon as possible. I feel like it will probably be a real pain to put on. I'll report back with how it went as soon as I can.
I don't think I have ever seen any reviewers comment on noise levels from either motor hum or component rattle (for want of a better word). I could hear the hum on your videos, but I would be interested to know if you had any comment on how both Zeros compare to other brands you have ridden. I am going to buy a Zero 9 in a few weeks (Australia), so I have found your reviews very interesting. As a pedestrian, I have noted varying scooter noise levels of approaching riders, and some of them sound rather annoying. By "component rattle" I mean things like suspension or build rattles when crossing bumps or surface indents. Regards.
@meremail, I did do a video comparing 5 scooters including the two Zero's. The EcoReco S5 had the quietest motor I've tried to date, its a sweet motor but the rest of the scooter isn't as great. The Zero's are great for rattles as most parts (folding handlebars especially) that could rattle are easily tightened down. All the electric hub motors will make some noise, it seems that motor noise varies greatly depending on load and rider weight. Thanks for watching!
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks for that. I was thinking of comparative noise which I think you have answered. When you say "Zero's are great for rattles" I am assuming and hoping you mean they are not a problem. It makes sense that motor noise will rise with load effort, so my 67Kg frame should be rather quiet then LOL. Thanks again and great reviews.
Did you have the p12 setting in the highest level 5? On my Zero 8, there is no difference between the different levels 1-5. Did you feel any difference?
Nice comparison. Problem with Every Brand of Scooter is: Handlebar Wobble and becoming Loose !!! I am torn between (3) = Ninebot Max, vs. Zero 9, vs. Turbo Wheel Swift ???
@Michael Caz, do you meant the whole stem near the folding mechanism of the handlebar itself? I know the Zero scooters have a threaded collar on the handlebar which helps but they do tend to loosen a little while riding. The Zero's and Turbo Wheels are basically coming out of the same factories so I'd suggest picking the one with the features, customer support, and price you like. In my limited experience riding the Ninebot Max, bit is it is well below the Zero 9 in almost every way. Thanks for asking.
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks Man. I Agree with you. Ninebot Max has No Shocks - so its really between the other 2 that I mentioned above. Great Reviews and Information here. Stay Safe brother.
@E Scooter Life, I don't doubt that, i know the scooter industry in China is pretty interesting with factories pumping out scooters that get branded with multiple names. I would like some plug and play aftermarket lighting options.
@@ElectronSurfer yeah I agree, I was debating which one to get. But after watching your videos about the zero 8 its a better bargain. Thanks so much for your reply.
Hi. I'm trying to rebuild my Speedway mini 4 (which I believe is essentially the same scooter as the zero 8. I want to swap out the front to a zero 9 so that I can install a front disc brake (as the zero 8 has poor brakes). do you think this is possible to do. Are the zero 8 and 9 the same dimensions at the front?
@Simon Andersen, The 2018 Zero 8 and Zero 9 have a totally different front fork/wheel attachment mechanism. I'd suggest calling RevRides to see about compatibility for other years. Many of these frames come out of the same factory so I'd imagine you can find something to work.
So.... I literally just put in an order for the Zero 9 and then watched your video... should I cancel my order and just get the zero 8?? OR.... did you get an early version of the zero 9? Is this why the 8 is faster than the 9? Apparently the prototype 9 only had 500 watts but new ones have 600 watts?? I’m confused.. please help... thank you...
@Robert Zoppi, to me the difference between the two scooters is really comfort and braking. The controller dictates the power so the nominal motor rating doesn't really tell you which is more powerful. The 8 was slightly faster accelerating for me and i think that is mainly due to lower weight and the smaller circumference rear wheel and torque advantage. Also note the 8 only accelerated slightly faster, the 9 is faster in top speed because of the higher controller output. Thanks!
Electron Surfer oh, ok, yeah, I get it.. actually, I think you said the 9 is a more comfortable ride but that the 8 was more fun to ride.. I would assume the 9 is a little more comfortable but still fun? I truly love the idea of a wider board with front and back brakes as well as the lighting is awesome! I live in downtown Sacramento and I cruise around to all restaurants/ bars all the time and I like a comfortable ride with some quickness... I ordered the 9 last night and I’m hoping it gives me those things... Thanks for responding, I appreciate your knowledge and understanding of the products.. I currently own a radrover fat bike with 750 watt bufang and I get around 24mph with a lot of added equipment.. I’m excited to own my first scooter... i’ve only rented them before. Last question, is the nine a lot of fun to cruise on? Thank you again and you’re a really good reviewer..
Too bad that Zero 8 has 100kg weight (capacity) limit. Zero 9 has 120kg. For heavy people like me, unfortunately Zero 8 is not an option. Thanks for the great reviews!
Thank you! When you are close to the weight capacity the performance really decreases. I'd like to see scooters with variable motor options so people can select their ideal motor vs. body weight. Thanks again!
@@ElectronSurfer I have a Kugoo S1 with 350w motor. It suits me very nicely for distances up to 15 km. It can even make quite steep slopes. The motor is very strong and I can only imagine how a man of 80kg weight must fly on it. I think I'll go for Zero 9 or something in that range just because of the battery that will allow me to go longer distances. Speed is not among my priorities. Kugoo can go 30km/h on flat ground easy even with my weight but I never go that fast. I do not feel safe enough. 20 km/h is enough for me. When you weight 120kgs and go 30 km/h standing on a scouter you can not stop very quickly no matter the brakes. If you try to brake hard in that sppeed you may experience "flying" head on... 👼
@Andreas Matsis, That's a good point, the solid tire does transmit more vibration on the Zero 8. I do have all of the settings maxed out on the Zero 8, some of those settings for acceleration are not available in the Zero 9. I think its possible the controller is actually pushing out more amperage on the Zero 8 leading to a little more noise. Thanks for that comment!
@Jazo ma, Great comment and question. For me any deck height above 5 inches is awkward and difficult to kick without motor power. Of the scooters I've reviewed only the Zoom Stryder (4") and Glion Dolly (5") are easy to kick, the Glion is noticeable harder than the Zoom. Even that height is difficult to kick for long distances. It would be fun if the scooters had a kick enhancement mode, sort of like some Razors, where you could mostly kick and it would put in power relative to how hard you kick. Thanks again for the comment!
Hi, me again. Can you clarify if it's the zero 8 10ah which has a 350w motor or the 16ah which has the 500w. You mentioned in your other video it has the 10ah but it says 500w.
I would say either for that commute. If the surface is pretty rough I'd go with the Zero 9. For that many miles you would start to feel that extra vibration on the Zero 8. Thanks for watching.
Great question. My company is located in the rainy pacific northwest (Portland Or) so this is a big area of interest for us. The scooters can handle some water but they are far from water proof. This will be a focus of contributions improvement for models that www.revrides.com sells. Also important to note that water damage is not covered by warranty.
I hesitate so much between Z8 and Z9, especially for the brakes. I prefer Z8's look, weight and compact style. but i really fear that drum brakes on it is not enough secure for braking. Can we add a disc brake at the front of the Z8 wheel?
@@ElectronSurfer Thank you very much. I will wait for your response. And sorry for asking that, but can you resume the fact that why you prefer Z8 than Z9? I'm French, and I didn't understand all what it was said in the video. Thank you in advance.
There are not mounting holes on the zero 8 to add front disk brakes. Theoretically it could be done but not a factory option and can't be done cost effectively by the owner. Might as well buy the 9 and disconnect the LED lights that you don't want.
I can confirm Rev Rides assertion, there are no mounting holes on the fork. My preferences for the Zero 8 is that it is cleaner looking, feels a little quicker, more nimble which i like, and it is easier to carry. I find the suspension sufficient. The Zero 9 is faster, more comfortable, and has better lighting. Thank you for the comment!
You can but if you plan to I recommend caulking all of the seams, especially at the front side of the deck as a lot of road spray hits here. Once you get water in by the controller, things stop working properly.
@@sagebrushrepair I can't fault you for either, it's my favorite scooter design.. I prefer the low key look over all the red branding so I got the new Horizon
@@TheKaybjay2 I think the suspension and folding handlebars are top notch, but the headlights are too low and dim. The speed loss is real after you're below 50% battery and the range is about 3/4 of what they say but that's typical. 2 months and over 100 miles in, I'm satisfied and the value is huge compared to a m365 or segway
@LaVar Ball, I got around 20 miles in mode 2 and 15 miles in mode 3. Some scooters have an even bigger variation between modes, the Zero 8 is better than most. I hope that helps. I did an Zero 8 test results video that has some of this info in there. Thanks!
Electron Surfer very helpful indeed! I actually managed to get 15miles from Gear 3 so that is precise. I’m guessing or do you think a fair mixture between gear 1 and 2 you could potentially get maybe 25miles? Rather than just Gear 2 all the time. And thank you I will watch that video Also, does level 5 on Acceleration mean quicker drain of battery?
@@lavarball7538 You could definitely get that kind of range if you stay in mode 1 as much as possible. It varies between scooters and motors but the jump up in speed modes really decreases your range.
Yes, everything was maxed. This is the 2019 version and with the extra weight and also the early models throttle delay, it could have affected the acceleration. I will be testing the 2020 version soon.
@@jreviews5924 The early 2019 throttles had a little delay that was fixed in the next batch of scooters, it didn't affect that many really, but did my review scooter. The throttle has been the same since.
@Neal Chambers, yes the deck with on both the Zero 8 and 9 is wide enough. I try to do a demo showing my shoes on the individual scooter video, I think I may have back in the Zero 8 video.
They have a electronic brake, my understanding is the electronic brakes create a regen effect, I don't think it makes a significant difference in range.
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks! Ended up with the Zero 9 needed that top end speed. Got up to 28mph , speed also confirmed by Waze app. Had to change the P settings to get to that speed. electric-scooter.guide/guides/falconpev-zero-8-zero-9-p-setting/ It would also be interesting to see how the Zero 8 and Zero 9 compare if their P acceleration were both set to 5

Humm, the three of you like it the 8 better because, let's see, the 9 is more comfy, the 9 is faster, the 9 has more deck room and the 9 stops quicker. Sounds like good reasons to like the 8 better Oh and the 9 has a 600 watt motor and goes further, humm
Your comments have too many errors. The 2018 Zero 9 had a 500 watt motor as you can see if you zoom in. Also at 2:03 you can see your 9" wheels are 8 1/2".
@@ElectronSurfer So I received the Zero 8 yesterday here in Chicago after just 5 days of waiting and it was shipped from Singapore. It was excellently packaged and after fully charging and adjusting the settings, I just got back from an excellent maiden ride with top speed of 23 mph according to the scooter display and I'm 183 lbs. However, the package only came with the European wall socket and not the US. Also, it didn't come with the tire pump connector either. In addition, the controller plastic display is all scratched up. When I emailed their customer service, their response was to just go out and buy the US wall socket and tire pump connector from a local store here. So their customer service sucks, however, I paid $200 US less by purchasing through Falcon than Rev Rides, even with your discount code.
@@aragorn318 I"m sorry to hear that. Was the controller plastic film already removed when you got it, that should protect the display.

@tbbsrr, good to hear, thanks for the comment!
I had initially ordered the nine, but after watching your review I changed it to the end. I like the fact that it does feel lighter and breaking is not as extreme
8 or 9 both great choices 👍🏻
I do believe squishy is the proper term.
I have zero 8, new, updated version with 48V battery and 500W (peak power 1100W) motor and I am 95kg. The scooter is handling my weight without any problem.
It is locked to 25 km/h and I do not tend to unlock it (cut the white wire) as I believe going faster is dangerous.
One point worth mentioning:
My zero 8 came with a 50.4V charger which is able to charge the 48V battery to a maximum of around 74%.
Why? Answer: note that the maximum (100%) charging capacity of 48V battery is not 48V but 56.4V. To charge your 48V battery to 100%/56.4V you would need a stronger charger (e.g. 60V).
Providing a weaker charger is a smart trick some manufacturers use in order to prevent their buyers from overcharging the battery (keeping your battery charged above 30% and below 80% will triple the battery lifetime).
The light on the charger will turn green once the current stops flowing, in other words, there is no more difference in the potential between the charger output and the battery. This only means that the battery charged to the maximum capacity of what a CHARGER can provide and this is not necessarily the max capacity of the battery itself.
So if you see a green light on the charger, indicating that the charging is finished, but your scooter only shows 4 out of 5 bars, check your charger's power and the voltage reading of your scooter. They should be similar (e.g. for 50.4V charger your 48V scooter should read 50.1 or 50.2V when charged to the max).
Search the internet for "Battery pack voltage comparison charge".
You should not have to cut any wire to disable the speed limiter, just remove the connection, usually gray.
Great video I got zero 8 prior to watching this video and I love the 8 but wanted more speed and was considering getting 9. But after watching this video 9 isn't that much faster. I just wish the deck was wider and longer on the 8. Overall I'm happy with my 8. Thanks for giving me vicariously experience without having to make another purchase
Tanks for a great vid. It really helps me out with my decision on buying a zero 9.
Awesome gezbo66, that's what i'm trying to do, I'm happy to help.
@@ElectronSurfer so I decided to get one in London. It's pretty pricey but I think the quality is worth it. Where I live in Warsaw Poland you can't walk out on the streets without scooters flying past you. Lime, Bird etc and lots of people are buying Xioami scooters. I thought about it but then saw your vid and you turned me onto the Zero 9 so I am going to buy next month. 😀
@@gezbo66 have you bought it? What are your impressions?
@@kamer7pl hi, no not yet. I have decided to wait until September as I need it most from them onwards and other priorities came first. I will inform you after I have got it to let you know how I feel. Cheers. 😀

Hi Jim love the timestamps in the description. Great idea!
@Marc Fasel, Thanks I'm glad it helps.
Have you tried 2 persons riding the zero 9 scooter?. I'm try to figure if I can go and pick up my 9 year old daughter at school.
Great video.
Thanks a lot.
i have the same inquiry for my 6 year old daughter. I see parents doing it but i never got a chance to ask which scooter they were using. Please advise if you get or have gotten any info. Thanks!
Nice save on the weight differences @ 2:59 . Hope you didn't get beat down by Sara after the video LOL
Haha thanks, yeah that was a close one...smooth!
Thanks, a lot! I appreciate these videos
@Derrek James, I am happy to help, thanks for watching!
Excellent excellent review !
Soo How zero 8x looks after xx months of riding ? any issues ?
One thing you did not cover is the folding mechanism. I thought it's the same until my zero 8 arrived.
@Chinmay H, good point. I actually like the Zero 8's mechanism better. Its safer and I like the dual position. What do you think?
I just got my zero 9 last week and it goes up to 32mph and I'm 194lb. My zero 9 is a 600 watt motor and it has an updated LG battery. It's plenty powerful enough for my commute
Did you get the one with the 52v battery. The Zero 9 I reviewed was the 2018-2019 model. The motor wattage doesn't affect speed just the battery and controller output. I plan to compare the Zero 8 and Zero 9 2020 models very soon.
32mph downhill? or flat ground
Excellent review I am going to get the Zero 10 not meany review s on it any chance for a intense review on the 10 ?
Can you clarify the indicated top speed of both scooters? The Zero 9 is faster but by how much?
Hi ya could you tell me i want to buy zero 8 from falcon how long would shipping take to the UK. Thanks.
Great vid! Was wondering if you had a chance to try the 10x suspension compared to these two.
@Rick Deckard, I have not ridden the 10 or 10x. I will do my best to get my hands on both of those!
Thanks a lot that's a great video! In the websites I visit at this date I see that the Z8 has a 36V - 10Ah battery. Do you know if they downgraded their battery on the Z8? I would love a Z9 battery with the Z8 body!
The Z8 available here has been 48v for awhile, I think it was 2018 when it was 36v. Here are s ok me specs. revrides.com/collections/electric-scooters/products/zero-8-electric-scooter
thanks, enjoyed the vid. I thought there was a lot more in it for 8 vs 9
They are both good scooters and a lot of fun to ride! Thanks for watching.
@@ElectronSurfer I ordered the 9 recently.. waiting for it to arrive.... Can't wait!
@@etiennedeklerk ya, sorry about the delay. I had my stock number off by 1 and ran out. We are air shipping one for you and it should be here soon.
I enjoyed the comparison and found it interesting that you all prefer the Z8 over the Z9. This makes me contemplate which one I want now. I actually have a couple of questions. I noticed on the RevRides website that both of the scooters are out of stock, you wouldn't happen to know how often they restock on the scooters? Also, do you know anything about electric scooters being able to be taken onto airplanes? I attempted to research this myself, but all I could find was information about pro scooters as well as electric wheelchair scooters. I would love to hear back! Thank you in advanced, and keep up with the great content!
I'm so sorry we are out of stock. Sales really picked up in March and caught me off guard. New stock should arrive May 5th. I'll need a week to do quality checks then I'll be ready to ship orders out.
Regarding airplanes, most airlines state you cannot check in luggage with Li-ion batteries. Most airlines have a max Watt-hours rating allowed for carry-on luggage and scooters far exceed the limit. Not so great for vacation or business travel.
@@RevRides360 Thank you so much for responding with this information. It was all really helpful. I'm def looking forward for the restock, so I can purchase a scooter!
I was also interested to find out if the test were done with the stock settings. I know you can increase torque and acceleration on the controls.
@Mark Andrada, I had all of the Zero 8 controls at there higher settings. I don't know what the controller output is in relation to those settings. I am not sure what the actual stock settings are from RevRides for power level, acceleration, and braking, I would assume most people would want them all at maximum. Thanks!
Whats your thought on tires with air vs just fully rubber.... when it comes having to change a tire due to a nail? That's really the only thing holding me back on the 9.. or am i just being over concerned? Thanks
I just got a solid tire for the front of the Zero 8. I"ll post that video soon, it really affects the ride quality negatively. I'd suggest buying an extra tube or the solid tire when you get the scooter and putting sealant in the stock tubes. Tire changing on the motor tire is a pain, the non-motorized two piece rim is a quick and easy change. I have not had a flat to date. If you bring a few tools when you ride even a flat isn't a huge issue in my mind. Thanks for asking!
Contacted Rev Rides about shipping charge to Hawaii. We really need a Distributor in Hawaii for Zero Scooters... it's $500 for shipping if i were to purchase it personally.
@embazle, that's pretty steep. Its too bad you can't fly with that much battery, you could almost fly to Portland and get to check out some micro-breweries for that shipping charge.
That sucks. Although, it's 2,500 miles away from the mainland so what did you expect?
@@greplink definitely no amazon prime label on it that's for sure, fortunately there are some dealerships here that are catching the hint, although none yet has any Zero 8's, it looks like a xiomi look alike from what i saw, which would suffice as a replacement for now.

@@greplink They are made in China, so closer to Hawaii. They should find a way to dropship.
Great comparison! How big difference is there in comfort on uneven surfaces, due to different back wheels and rear suspension?
@Morning Sessions, There is a difference, the Zero 8 seems to have a little more suspension travel which cancels out some of the comfort difference. The Zero 9 is more comfortable and the air tires gives some offroad potential. I almost feel like the Zero 8 is a street bike and the Zero 9 is more of a dual sport. Thanks for commenting!
Electron Surfer do you think you could put a pneumatic tire on the rear of the zero 8?
@@arbureanuandreea2778 I got one to try, I will try to get to it as soon as possible. I feel like it will probably be a real pain to put on. I'll report back with how it went as soon as I can.
@@ElectronSurfer I'm also looking at the zero 8 vs 9 and more towards the 8 if I can put on pneumatic tires. Be interested to know. Thanks
@Electron Surfer thanks, I went for the 10X, awesome machine, suspension super comfy, crazy acceleration, no regrets after 500km
I don't think I have ever seen any reviewers comment on noise levels from either motor hum or component rattle (for want of a better word). I could hear the hum on your videos, but I would be interested to know if you had any comment on how both Zeros compare to other brands you have ridden. I am going to buy a Zero 9 in a few weeks (Australia), so I have found your reviews very interesting. As a pedestrian, I have noted varying scooter noise levels of approaching riders, and some of them sound rather annoying. By "component rattle" I mean things like suspension or build rattles when crossing bumps or surface indents. Regards.
@meremail, I did do a video comparing 5 scooters including the two Zero's. The EcoReco S5 had the quietest motor I've tried to date, its a sweet motor but the rest of the scooter isn't as great. The Zero's are great for rattles as most parts (folding handlebars especially) that could rattle are easily tightened down. All the electric hub motors will make some noise, it seems that motor noise varies greatly depending on load and rider weight. Thanks for watching!
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks for that. I was thinking of comparative noise which I think you have answered. When you say "Zero's are great for rattles" I am assuming and hoping you mean they are not a problem. It makes sense that motor noise will rise with load effort, so my 67Kg frame should be rather quiet then LOL. Thanks again and great reviews.
@@meremail That's what I mean, that rattles are not a problem on the Zero's in my experience.
Did you have the p12 setting in the highest level 5?
On my Zero 8, there is no difference between the different levels 1-5. Did you feel any difference?
I tried each setting for p12, I had someone tell me that Zero was the fastest. Like you I didn't really notice any difference.
Nice comparison. Problem with Every Brand of Scooter is: Handlebar Wobble and becoming Loose !!! I am torn between (3) = Ninebot Max, vs. Zero 9, vs. Turbo Wheel Swift ???
@Michael Caz, do you meant the whole stem near the folding mechanism of the handlebar itself? I know the Zero scooters have a threaded collar on the handlebar which helps but they do tend to loosen a little while riding. The Zero's and Turbo Wheels are basically coming out of the same factories so I'd suggest picking the one with the features, customer support, and price you like. In my limited experience riding the Ninebot Max, bit is it is well below the Zero 9 in almost every way. Thanks for asking.
@@ElectronSurfer Thanks Man. I Agree with you. Ninebot Max has No Shocks - so its really between the other 2 that I mentioned above. Great Reviews and Information here. Stay Safe brother.
Mini motors have definitely set the standard for under board lighting,which most are copying now
@E Scooter Life, I don't doubt that, i know the scooter industry in China is pretty interesting with factories pumping out scooters that get branded with multiple names. I would like some plug and play aftermarket lighting options.
Hello....nice video. What you think between the nineboot max or the zero 8? Thanks in advance.
I don't have any experience with the ninebot, I do think you are getting a lot more performance for your money just looking at specs with the Zero8.
@@ElectronSurfer yeah I agree, I was debating which one to get. But after watching your videos about the zero 8 its a better bargain. Thanks so much for your reply.
Hi. I'm trying to rebuild my Speedway mini 4 (which I believe is essentially the same scooter as the zero 8. I want to swap out the front to a zero 9 so that I can install a front disc brake (as the zero 8 has poor brakes). do you think this is possible to do. Are the zero 8 and 9 the same dimensions at the front?
@Simon Andersen, The 2018 Zero 8 and Zero 9 have a totally different front fork/wheel attachment mechanism. I'd suggest calling RevRides to see about compatibility for other years. Many of these frames come out of the same factory so I'd imagine you can find something to work.
So.... I literally just put in an order for the Zero 9 and then watched your video... should I cancel my order and just get the zero 8?? OR.... did you get an early version of the zero 9? Is this why the 8 is faster than the 9? Apparently the prototype 9 only had 500 watts but new ones have 600 watts?? I’m confused.. please help... thank you...
@Robert Zoppi, to me the difference between the two scooters is really comfort and braking. The controller dictates the power so the nominal motor rating doesn't really tell you which is more powerful. The 8 was slightly faster accelerating for me and i think that is mainly due to lower weight and the smaller circumference rear wheel and torque advantage. Also note the 8 only accelerated slightly faster, the 9 is faster in top speed because of the higher controller output. Thanks!
Electron Surfer oh, ok, yeah, I get it.. actually, I think you said the 9 is a more comfortable ride but that the 8 was more fun to ride.. I would assume the 9 is a little more comfortable but still fun? I truly love the idea of a wider board with front and back brakes as well as the lighting is awesome! I live in downtown Sacramento and I cruise around to all restaurants/ bars all the time and I like a comfortable ride with some quickness...
I ordered the 9 last night and I’m hoping it gives me those things...
Thanks for responding, I appreciate your knowledge and understanding of the products.. I currently own a radrover fat bike with 750 watt bufang and I get around 24mph with a lot of added equipment.. I’m excited to own my first scooter... i’ve only rented them before. Last question, is the nine a lot of fun to cruise on? Thank you again and you’re a really good reviewer..
Too bad that Zero 8 has 100kg weight (capacity) limit. Zero 9 has 120kg. For heavy people like me, unfortunately Zero 8 is not an option. Thanks for the great reviews!
Thank you! When you are close to the weight capacity the performance really decreases. I'd like to see scooters with variable motor options so people can select their ideal motor vs. body weight. Thanks again!
@@ElectronSurfer I have a Kugoo S1 with 350w motor. It suits me very nicely for distances up to 15 km. It can even make quite steep slopes. The motor is very strong and I can only imagine how a man of 80kg weight must fly on it. I think I'll go for Zero 9 or something in that range just because of the battery that will allow me to go longer distances. Speed is not among my priorities. Kugoo can go 30km/h on flat ground easy even with my weight but I never go that fast. I do not feel safe enough. 20 km/h is enough for me. When you weight 120kgs and go 30 km/h standing on a scouter you can not stop very quickly no matter the brakes. If you try to brake hard in that sppeed you may experience "flying" head on... 👼
The Zero 8 is a bit louder than the 9 and the motor seems to vibrate a bit during acceleration
@Andreas Matsis, That's a good point, the solid tire does transmit more vibration on the Zero 8. I do have all of the settings maxed out on the Zero 8, some of those settings for acceleration are not available in the Zero 9. I think its possible the controller is actually pushing out more amperage on the Zero 8 leading to a little more noise. Thanks for that comment!
Can you ride them manually if you don't feel like using the motor? And then use the throttle every now and then during a ride?
@Jazo ma, Great comment and question. For me any deck height above 5 inches is awkward and difficult to kick without motor power. Of the scooters I've reviewed only the Zoom Stryder (4") and Glion Dolly (5") are easy to kick, the Glion is noticeable harder than the Zoom. Even that height is difficult to kick for long distances. It would be fun if the scooters had a kick enhancement mode, sort of like some Razors, where you could mostly kick and it would put in power relative to how hard you kick. Thanks again for the comment!
Great review. How do they handle hill climbing? 👍
Shameless plug for my hill climb video, these both climb quite well.
Electron Surfer: Thanks. Have watched you hill climb video. Cheers 👍
Your black uvex helmet, what's the model number? Nice comparison btw!
Thanks! Its a helmet 5 bike pro according to the sticker inside, I got it super on-sale at REI.
Hi, me again. Can you clarify if it's the zero 8 10ah which has a 350w motor or the 16ah which has the 500w. You mentioned in your other video it has the 10ah but it says 500w.
The 2018 models of both the Zero 8 and 9 were 500w motors. This video compares the Zero 8 10.4ah and Zero 9 13ah.
@@ElectronSurfer thanks!
Hello,zero 8 (10Ah) is "small" for the Zero 9...& Zéro8 =500W....,Zero9=600W.... But Zéro 8(16Ah) yes! or 13h.(I think)
Electron Surfer today Zero 9 has a 600W motor right ?
So 6+6 mile commute better with 9?
I would say either for that commute. If the surface is pretty rough I'd go with the Zero 9. For that many miles you would start to feel that extra vibration on the Zero 8. Thanks for watching.
@@ElectronSurfer thanks!
Can these scooters be used when it rains??
Great question. My company is located in the rainy pacific northwest (Portland Or) so this is a big area of interest for us. The scooters can handle some water but they are far from water proof. This will be a focus of contributions improvement for models that www.revrides.com sells. Also important to note that water damage is not covered by warranty.
@@RevRides360 okay thank you so much!
I hesitate so much between Z8 and Z9, especially for the brakes. I prefer Z8's look, weight and compact style. but i really fear that drum brakes on it is not enough secure for braking.
Can we add a disc brake at the front of the Z8 wheel?
I'll check this evening on that for sure, but I think it could be added. The only time i've felt the Z8's braking was lacking was on a steep downhill.
@@ElectronSurfer
Thank you very much. I will wait for your response.
And sorry for asking that, but can you resume the fact that why you prefer Z8 than Z9?
I'm French, and I didn't understand all what it was said in the video.
Thank you in advance.
There are not mounting holes on the zero 8 to add front disk brakes. Theoretically it could be done but not a factory option and can't be done cost effectively by the owner. Might as well buy the 9 and disconnect the LED lights that you don't want.
I can confirm Rev Rides assertion, there are no mounting holes on the fork. My preferences for the Zero 8 is that it is cleaner looking, feels a little quicker, more nimble which i like, and it is easier to carry. I find the suspension sufficient. The Zero 9 is faster, more comfortable, and has better lighting. Thank you for the comment!
Can you ride it in the rain?
You can but if you plan to I recommend caulking all of the seams, especially at the front side of the deck as a lot of road spray hits here. Once you get water in by the controller, things stop working properly.
Holy cow this new fluid freeride Horizon has got to be the closest competitor I've seen to the zero8, what's your thoughts?
The Horizon looks great, I think the Zero series look better built though. Any takers?
@@sagebrushrepair I can't fault you for either, it's my favorite scooter design.. I prefer the low key look over all the red branding so I got the new Horizon
@@sagebrushrepair they are the same scooter
n8rates - How do you like the Horizon?
@@TheKaybjay2 I think the suspension and folding handlebars are top notch, but the headlights are too low and dim. The speed loss is real after you're below 50% battery and the range is about 3/4 of what they say but that's typical. 2 months and over 100 miles in, I'm satisfied and the value is huge compared to a m365 or segway
Hi how much Range do you get from the Zero 8 on gear 3 (highest speed)? In comparison to gear 2
@LaVar Ball, I got around 20 miles in mode 2 and 15 miles in mode 3. Some scooters have an even bigger variation between modes, the Zero 8 is better than most. I hope that helps. I did an Zero 8 test results video that has some of this info in there. Thanks!
Electron Surfer very helpful indeed! I actually managed to get 15miles from Gear 3 so that is precise. I’m guessing or do you think a fair mixture between gear 1 and 2 you could potentially get maybe 25miles? Rather than just Gear 2 all the time.
And thank you I will watch that video
Also, does level 5 on Acceleration mean quicker drain of battery?
@@lavarball7538 You could definitely get that kind of range if you stay in mode 1 as much as possible. It varies between scooters and motors but the jump up in speed modes really decreases your range.
Lavar????
Did you have p8 and p12 maxed at 100 and 5 respectively? The 9 should accelerate faster than the 8.
Yes, everything was maxed. This is the 2019 version and with the extra weight and also the early models throttle delay, it could have affected the acceleration. I will be testing the 2020 version soon.
Thanks for the reply! Good video!what's the difference between 2019 and 2020 throttle? It's a different unit?
@@jreviews5924 The early 2019 throttles had a little delay that was fixed in the next batch of scooters, it didn't affect that many really, but did my review scooter. The throttle has been the same since.
can you stand with your feet parallel on the Zero 8?
@Neal Chambers, yes the deck with on both the Zero 8 and 9 is wide enough. I try to do a demo showing my shoes on the individual scooter video, I think I may have back in the Zero 8 video.
URL ? I can not find these anywhere...
In the US you can use RevRides.com and Falcon PEV in other parts of the world. My individual videos have a discount code for RevRides if you want one.
Hi. Could you tell me where did you buy it?
There are links and a discount code in the Zero 8 and Zero 9 video for RevRides, they have good customer support.
I like your helmet. What is the brand?
Its' a Uvex brand, I don't think they make it anymore. It has a nice clasp style that i've only seen on Uvex helmets.
Do the zero’s have brake regen?
They have a electronic brake, my understanding is the electronic brakes create a regen effect, I don't think it makes a significant difference in range.
How do the top speeds compared with a 175lb person? They are listed at 24 and 29 mph are you getting even close to those numbers?
@garrity80
, I weight the same as you. I saw 21.8 mph and 24.8 mph top speeds, respectively. I hope that helps you.

@@ElectronSurfer So I received the Zero 8 yesterday here in Chicago after just 5 days of waiting and it was shipped from Singapore. It was excellently packaged and after fully charging and adjusting the settings, I just got back from an excellent maiden ride with top speed of 23 mph according to the scooter display and I'm 183 lbs. However, the package only came with the European wall socket and not the US. Also, it didn't come with the tire pump connector either. In addition, the controller plastic display is all scratched up. When I emailed their customer service, their response was to just go out and buy the US wall socket and tire pump connector from a local store here. So their customer service sucks, however, I paid $200 US less by purchasing through Falcon than Rev Rides, even with your discount code.
@@aragorn318 I"m sorry to hear that. Was the controller plastic film already removed when you got it, that should protect the display. Mine didn't come with a tire pump, it just has a standard tube valve stem which I use my bike pump on.
