PEV Handy Hint Stumps
hi everyone. here is another escooter handy tip. This time it's what to look out for when riding offroad. tree stumps can easily catch you out when riding a bush track.
Hitting a stump like this or even smaller can at best puncture a tyre or at worst throw you off your scooter causing an injury and may even damage your rim.
So keep your eyes scanning the tracks to look for this and other objects on the track.

Hi everyone. In this video I go through step by step and show you easy it is to check and clean your brakes on our electric scooter. This process is the same for most types of hydraulic brake systems so even if you don't have a predator it can still help. I will be doing the same kind of video for cable brake scooters in the future so keep an eye out for that video.

Does this have electronic breaking/regenerative breaking?
@@X-TR3ME. Yes and it works brilliantly. You just have to apply light pressure to brake and it's not harsh like some. For heavy emergency braking both just pull harder for mechanical braking to engage
@f.cscootriders Thanks for the quick reply. So the regen break works together with the hydraulic brakes? Is there a way to control its strength in the p settings? Im very sorry for asking too many questions, I'm just a bit excited and I'm currently waiting for it to be delivered 😄🤣.
@@X-TR3ME.P setting 11 is the brake regen setting but as advised in the manual it's not supposed to make any difference. I found this to be true and position 3 is ideal. It brakes real nice and is not abrupt. I'd go as far to say it's the best braking on a dragon scooter.
@f.cscootriders Thank you so much for all the help and answers, as well as the quick replies. I'll get back to you when I recieve my scooter approx. Sep 10
@@f.cscootriders Sorry, if you just let go of the accelerator, does the regenerative breaks kick in and sloe the scooter down smoothly?
Just ordered mine, how powerful is the acceleration? Do you know the 0-25kmh?
Amazing review, which one is quicker off the mark? 0-25kmh?
@@X-TR3ME.thanks for the comment. I haven't put the 2 against each other but on paper the Mukuta should get the win
@f.cscootriders thanks for the quick response mate, just wondering if the Dragon predator too has 4000w and has more torque?
@@X-TR3ME. Predator only has dual 1100w motors with a peak of 3600w put still has a lot of punch of the line. If your looking for the most powerful dragon do look at the hurricane.
@@f.cscootriders Sorry for responding too much. Does this have regenerative breaking? If so, is it a strong?
Hey mate where did u order this from ?
Just got my 2024 Predator. When i engage the rear break a fault indicator comes on .. just the symbol no code .. I guess I just have to adjust the brake hey ?
@@OliverBuschmann the brake sensors can be sensitive. Adjusting the brake lever can fix this issue
@@f.cscootriders thanks for the quick reply mate .. any advice how to do that reliably ?
@@OliverBuschmann if you look from the side into the handle there is a small Allen key screw that moves the lever I'm and out. Try that. I'd that doesn't work it may be the brake sensor which is a handle replacement.
@@f.cscootriders thanks mate I'll try that
Lovin That Helmet!
@@blasterbretty6385 thanks. It's still my main helmet to this day
Nice one bro!
Good tip, thanks bud! Even if you don't have a get off its so easy to damage your brake rotors too, as yep I learnt very quickly at the start🫣🫣🫣🫣
@@joallotta2860 Thanks for the comment. yes edges like this can damage a brake rotor. if you noticed when I did it the wrong way my brake rotors started to ting even though they were on the opposite side to the edge of the track.
Good advice man 💪
thankyou. Im going to be doing more like this in the future
thanks mate for the review i seen it last year and now i got it im really happy hi5

How do I change the speed limit?

Could you sende the code too pls as I have dragon predator escooter
Ive had my Slayer for about a month now and its great. I hit 300km on it today and so far so good. It has good offroad capabilities i have found also. Great video - should do more on this scooter!
@@JoshuaMartin-fv2ep thankyou. I will be doing more on this scooter. Next one is a real world range test to see it it's lost any range over the last year
@@f.cscootriders Awesome. Thanks for the reply, I have got the 22ah model and i did 40.1 km today on a single charge but its a new scooter. It will be cool to see how the battery is as it gets a bit older.
@@JoshuaMartin-fv2ep the model I'm testing is the 22ah version as well. You should check out my real world range test video
@@f.cscootriders haha. i must have watched it like 5 times when i was saving up to get mine. great video btw.
@@JoshuaMartin-fv2ep thanks. I know what it's like to have to save up for big ticket items like escooters so.im glad my videos have helped you and others make their decision.
have your wheelies for breakkz preditor weighs 36 kg
@@kings7man sorry not sure what you mean.
When you lift it in the car it is heavy
@@kings7man oh ok. These aren't too bad. They are not a lightweight coming in at 36kg but they do have a locking stem which does help.
I just clicked to what your first comment was. Wheeties for breaky. There was a typo which I why I didn't get it first off
Great scooter. Have you had to bleed the brakes? Mine is full of air. The universal kits don't fit the threads though.
@@ahoffensetz haven't had to on the predator but yeah you need a good quality brake bleeder set. I use a lot with brass adaptors versus the plastic sets. Seems to work better
Great video mate Does BSC sponsore you at all
@@braddalton2903 yeah they do. Unfortunately it can be hard sometimes as they are just so busy most of the time.
i have had mine less than 2 weeks and done 500 km, throttle is a lil touchy, (nearly let it go) great review thank you
Throttles on most electric scooters can be touchy especially in dual motor and third gear. To help with this thumb throttle style I rest my thumb and roll my hand as if it had a twist throttle which allows for smoother application of the throttle.
@@f.cscootriders thanks i will hang on tight as its on or off ...lol
Love mine !! Had it for 2 months and done 500km
Nice. It's easy to clock the Kilometers on these that's for sure
Ive had mine for about a month now, this is what i want to hear! Its awesome. Thanks for the 1 year review mate
Thanks for the comment glad you like yours. They really are the perfect all round scooter.
Yes bro we need the slayer review
@@JoshuaMartin-fv2ep working on it
Hey mate can you please message me how to unlock the speed
@@Baggedvy I've replied to your message
Been watching a few reviews and narrowing it down to these 2. I have a Dragon GTS V2 but wanna keep this as a work commuter only. Absolutely love it but looking at another scooter for day-off or weekend rides. Thanks for this review 👍
@@footlongsubzero1128 your welcome. I'm hoping to make the videos for the one year review on these next week so keep an eye out for those near the end of the week if the weather holds out
What was the average speed you were hitting? Curious to know how far i could get sitting as close to 60 the whole time
no matter what scooter you ride going on their limit will dramatically reduce their range. on this test I was getting around an average of 30kph so expect less at full speed.
What was the average speed you were hitting? Curious to know how far i could get sitting as close to 60 the whole time
I'd say around 30 to 40 average. As it was mostly on dirt that was fast enough. We did hit higher speeds during the test. Going full speed for long distances you should expect less maybe 30km tops especially on the 22 ah model. There is a 26ah model as well or check
I will be doing a one year on range test soon on this very scooter. Same area to see what its going like now . Keep an eye out for that one
I cant"t hear you turn up the volume
@@petermurphy1530 this was early on in my video making. Apologies for the sound
Nice looking scooter, but i dont understand the headlights mounted on the ground. Not easy for cars to spot.
@@jibba0202 yes it is an awesome looking scooter. The headlights on scooters could be mounted higher but this one where it is does do a good job. It's very bright so you do get seen
Gracias por el video 👍🏻
@@Soytupadre123 de Nada
my predator when i first got it would charge to 67v now it only does 65v. does anyone know why?
I have only just noticed mine is doing the same thing when I was doing the one-year range test. I'm going to find out and post the answer here
@@f.cscootriders sold my predator haha it’s so unreliable got a teverun fighter 11 a place where i can get my scooter serviced. its because of battery degradation thats what one of the experts said. but try let the scooter completely run out maybe the cells in the scooter isnt matched properly but yeah i sold it it had 3200 k’s. needed it gone
@@cruz6307 that amount of Kilometers the battery would be losing range. How are the tevruns I've seen some videos on them but never known any to be around
@@f.cscootriders yeah where i am its selling quite well. very trusted and can be controlled via bluetooth
@@f.cscootriders with mine it’s 60v 35ah dual 1600w motors goes like 85-90kmh it’s fast better than all the dragon brands much more better quality as i can see. glad i sold the predator comes with 11” pmt tyres its great.
Thanks for the video mate, appreciate the tutorial. Any chance of a tubeless tyre replacement video when you do one ? cheers
That sounds like a great idea. I have a split rim scooter as well.
Cool thanks for the vid - looks pretty straight forward
You are most welcome.
how much extra range do you reckon the 25ah battery would get? how much do you weigh? also how is your hurricane going? still loving it? whats max range you got on that beast?
It's definitely worth getting the 25ah version Mukuta. Yes I still have the hurricane and they get over 100km range taking it steady. I have a video here on what they get when pushing them to the limit.
Struggling to decide between the Makuta or a similar spec Dualtron.
The choice is yours. Dualtrons are a great scooter as well. You do pay a premium for them so things like the tech you get is pretty cool. For me personally I love the value for money that Mukuta gives and the dragon range gives.
@@f.cscootriders - I’m so tempted to buy that mukuta. I bought an Apollo explore about 2 months ago to see if I’d like e-scooters. Problem is I ended up loving it but at 50km/h top speed it’s left me wanting more. Thanks for the info. Great video 👍
@@Mr.Hanna-1 your welcome. I'd maybe look at the hurricane or even the lightning V2
So, after taking this out on these tracks I found overall the Viper GTR to be well worth the money. for just over $2199 at time of video this packs a lot for its price. I found the suspension was amazing. the power assist is great. it kicks in quick. the mechanical gearing could be more like a traditional mountain bike to allow easier pedaling up some hills we ride up but like I said in the video I'm not very fit. that said it got us to some amazing locations that I wouldn't do on a traditional mountain bike and that's what it's all about. getting out to locations that would normally be out of the question.
A front mudguard wouldn't go astray... Lucky the battery was where it was or you would have got a wet butt haha
it does come with front and rear guards which I took off for this ride as they sit close to the tyre when installed. They would be perfect for wet road but not so much in the mud we went through in this video.
Good video guys! Thinking about picking up one of these!
Thankyou. They definitely are a great all rounder for those wanting the best of both on and off-road. Range was the main issue so if you can look at the larger battery model
Nice
I estimate that battery was down to 25% at 53 volts. So maybe another 10-15km. Thoughts?
I probably could have gone about that much further but the battery gauge was flashing so to be safe I stopped. It's still an impressive orange for how hard I rode it
shopping for my first scooter is a mind-numbing exercise. I finally found the Mukuta and am impressed. Is it worth the extra $400 to get the Sansung/LG battery with higher AH over the one you tested, in your opinion?
Yeah. It will allow you to ride for longer and they are addictive and you just want to keep riding.
dumb question... does the scooter "free-wheel" when the battery is dead? Can you easily push it when it's off or are the wheels locked/engaged to the motors?
Wheels don't lock when there is no power. Not the easiest things to kick push though
SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS VIDEO DECISION MADE EASY BEST REVIEW AND ADVICE ENTIRE NET 😊
Thankyou. I'm glad my videos are helping people make a worthy decision
30 miles to completely empty on full charge. 25 amp battery. 3rd gear single motor. 32 mph 99% flat terrain. 65 degrees F. Headlight on. Indicate false 1 battery level, flashing. Out of juice. I expected at least 40 miles.
That's actually pretty good it it's the smaller of the 2 battery configurations. My test was with the 21ah model
@@f.cscootriders 25.6 AH
Hey mate, don’t know if I have max speed unlocked or not but my speedo doesn’t go over 25kph.. is the motor locked or is the speedo locked? Any ideas? Feels faster than 25 but I don’t really know ? Haha hope to hear from you thank you
There is a second unlock code in the P settings number p12. If you haven't done that let me know
Thanks very much! Is that all that need to be done to unlock its full speed ?
@@BMak-hv3dx yeah. If you need the unlock code let me Know
Thanks mate
I need the unlock code please
Hi Andrew, I can't change P12 on my Predator. It seems like the code in the manual (0105) is wrong. Are you aware of this issue?
No. That should be the code. I'm not aware of any changes to that code either
@@f.cscootriders Thanks, I did a factory reset, and it worked.
Hi everyone. If you are having troubles unlocking the predator please feel free to contact me on my Facebook page for how to fully unlock
Hi Andrew, Is there a way to turn down the acceleration on the Predator? It's way too easy to spin the wheels at the moment.
Hi there. There is a soft to hard setting which is p10 but the manual says this is not functioning and during my testing I found it didnt make much difference if any. Using your gear makes a difference. I usually ride around in gear 2 for general riding. The throttle isn't as punchy but it still gives good top speed. Less front wheel spin too
Hi i ordered the scooter i just want to know when u take it off eco with the settings will it surpass the 25kmh limit
Congrats on the purchase. The normal mode is a push to start mode meaning you will need to have the scooter moving before throttle will engage. This doesn't affect the top speed. That's done by P setting 10 which needs to be changed to 00
2.25.24😮
Not sure what you mean.
Looks cool not a fan of it.
That's ok. It's a personal choice I guess
@@f.cscootriders yes it is. Mu mate loves it
Update. I've got many more Kilometers up on these scooters and I'm moving again. Yup sucks but has to be done. Best part is new house will have better places for filming so these reviews are still going to be done.
discount codes please guys
That would be great. If I get some I will definitely be letting my viewers know
Can u bolt a seat to one of these like my V2?
It would be possible. I'm not aware of a factory option yet.
