    Realistically it can't replace a car. Ex: buying groceries or bulky items, winter weather and rain. Those are just a few examples why a car is essential. However, an escooter can compliment a car, saving its wear & tear and not forgetting the gas. In the long run your escooter will help your car last longer, saving you $$$$.

      @@SMFFL100 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've never tested the Max G2 so I don't know about the tires or build quality of that scooter. I do know the build quality of the VX2 Pro is very good. VX2 Pro GT has 37 miles of range compared to Max G2's 25 miles (at max speed). Max G2 has 22mph compared to VX2 Pro GT's 19mph. The VX2 Pro GT has a 28% incline compared to the Max G2's 22% incline. And the Max G2 is actually $1,299 MSRP which is the same as the VX2 Pro GT. Looks like very comparable scooters by two great companies.

    I've saved a good bit of money, and had a great deal of fun by using an electric scooter as my primary form of transportation. It can't replace a car completely, I still use mine for large shopping trips, or long distances (more than 20 miles), but I use the scooter for everything else. It's great.
    A couple of tips. You really NEED dual motors if you want to be able to handle hills. You'll burn out your controller fairly quickly most likely otherwise, and that's even assuming it can make it up the hill in the first place. Any 500W+ dual motor scooter will crush any hill you throw at it.
    The scooter your demoing seems over priced to me. I've seen a dual motor 500W scooter for around $600.

    • @austinbrady
      @austinbrady  Рік тому

      Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree that a dual 500W motor is more powerful (I own the Apollo City Pro). I was shocked at how well the VX2 Pro handled inclines because of my experience on other single 500W motors. I thought the price was steep until I experienced it myself. The build quality is insane and it’s the GT version which means you have a better battery for range. The base priced option is more affordable.

    I can see that an electric scooter is much less costly to own,maintain add use than a car. Personally I ride electric bikes instead as I am a Senior citizen and a heart patient so I need nearly daily doctor recommended aerobic exercise and I mostly get it from either riding a light weight bicycle or several ebikes. I got rid of my car 11 years ago and by doing so it has saved me an enormous amount of money. Our choices also have direct effects on our Earth's environment and big motor vehicles are very wasteful of energy,harmful to the environment to ourselves and others.
    I am now also looking at scooters because I need to go places where I can not bring in a bicycle or ebike being so large. Electric scooters would fit this bill. I have been able to take my small ebike directly into a local grocery store and use it just like a shopping cart but not into a doctors office or a dental office in which a electric scooter would probably be acceptable.
