I've got the p1 not pro and I have to use the red button for accelerate and only my front wheel spins and I cant use the lever by the speedometer to accelerate is thst a setting?
P1 pro would be way better if it had the same handle bar layout as the r1 as at high speeds these folding bars and height adjustment is awful feels unsafe as hell feels and looks cheap and tacky same as the p1 both would be way better with new bars same or Similar to the r1 so I say r1 for that reason is better at same price and same top speed aswell defo r1
I prefer the design of the R1 for sure.. especially with the longer deck there... but it looks alot more top heavy being that much taller off the ground than the P1 Pro..
@@SolarScootersuk There are numerous things that can fix this though especially coming from riding full suspension mountain bikes.. and thats adjustable supension.... get the front and rear cranked down for road.. Not sure what type suspension the R1 has though as you dont clarify that on your website..
@@SolarScootersuk would u agree they are placed higher than most scooters out there or does it just look that way? I really wanted the r1 but the handlebar height puts me off as I'm a shorter rider but I love the swing arm suspension over the quad spring. Such a shame ans would be easy enough to make them adjustable like the rest no?
@@SolarScootersuk ok cool thanks for the swift replies... well I'm only an inch shorter so maybe it's ok.. love the styling and saw your head to head video against the p1 pro and rightly as u say it's just preference of rider... I prefer the travel you get on the swing arm suspension...Quad srings as u said are decent and likely more stable at higher speed this making it accelerate that had quicker as the swing arms absorb so much to give better ride quality.. I go our for hours on mine so I like the better ride over stiffer ride.. 50mph is quick enough lol likely only ever touch that here and there just to know how it feels and to know it does actually do that speed.. Great looking scooter and Jake billing even said it was the best scooter he had likely ever tried... solar scooters are sick.... if I could get finance I'd buy one today 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks again for all the feedback.. means alot
@@MrTerryparker Solar made their swingarms yellow, upped the battery ah slightly and added a steering damper and flashy lights on the side. Call it the FF lite now. Still getting the R1 from Envirorides and saving a few quid.
@@SolarScootersuk I have the p1 and it has a bit of wobble in the handlebar, since the R1 is not adjustable height and handlebar doesn't fold I think it would be more stable. It's a really hard choice.
how many miles would you realistically get from standard p1, i know it wont get 30 miles since that is more than likely the mileage it'll get while on lowest settings, so realistically how far will it go on max settings, turbo mode on, dual motors, and mode 3.
What do you guys like more, the P1 Pro or the R1? Let us know in the comments!👇🏽

P1 Pro all day mate...but to be honest the r1 is impressive too

I like the R1 better due to it's look. the front suspension on the p1 pro looks terrible and let's the scooter down and the handlebars. Look bad too.
@@macauleycotton3298 didn't it come with a Manuel🤔.?
P1 pro is definitely the best one ! Its got everything you need. 26ah/60V its perfect
We agree! 🔥
If the Trackhawk was a scooter, it would definitely be the P1 PRO 😍💜
I'm 114kg I ordered the P1 Pro 😎 had to get a new scooter because my old one max load was 95kg 😅
If I could put them handle bars on the P1 and the suspension the P1 would be loads better. However I would have to go with the R1
Can you add a steering damper to the p1 pro and if yes which size steering damper is best?
No you can’t but you don’t really need one for the P1 Pro ⚡️ I’ve never used one in nearly 3 years
@@SolarScootersukcan you put one the r1?
Can't wait to get one
I prefer the design of the R1 for sure.. especially with the longer deck there... but it looks alot more top heavy being that much taller off the ground than the P1 Pro..
You’re so right with it being top heavy - I think that’s why it ‘feels’ slower off the mark to the P1 Pro which is more grounded.

@@oddtechman Pretty sure the R1 Has swingarm suspension
@@chad6243 I have had an extensive chat with Solar over email around the R1 and it was confirmed the suspension was non adjustable :)
The handlebars look alot higher on the r1..? Are they height adjustable? As stood beside the p1 they look really tall?
The height of the R1 handlebars are not adjustable unlike the P1 Pro which are height adjustable

@@benclews1980 thank you! And no problem. Yeah R1 is a much smoother ride than the P1 Pro 🙏🏽
is there some sort of charger pack u can carry around with you? that makes the difference between the r1 and p1 pro for me!
You could carry around a 3rd party external battery for either of them 😁
Hi want to purchase the r1 but I noticed envirorides have the exact same r1 for cheaper??????????
Cheap copy - we have reported them.
@@SolarScootersuk is x-tron copying yours too? or everyone copying each other? lol
@@pok2go are the same exact scooter just different branding
Yes, it's the same. In fact better as Envirorides use Dunlop bearings. Solar claiming "cheap copy - we have reported them". Hahaha bullshit!

p1 pro is the better ride on road no questions
Solarrrrrrr☀️ ☀️☀️☀️☀️
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can’t find the r1 on your website
It was discontinued in favour of the FF Lite - which is an upgraded R1
Do you know when the sale is going to end, just wanna make sure I can get it before it ends
The 5% sale won’t end for months - even if it does come to me on here I will give you a 5% off code :)
@@SolarScootersuk Sorry not the 5% but the sale where the P1 Pro is reduced from 1799 to 1499
@@chad6243 that will remain the same not to worry
@@SolarScootersuk I see thank you very much, will buy the P1 Pro near the end of this month if not beginning of next, have a good evening.
@@chad6243 you too 🙏🏽
I don't know which one to buy. The R1 looks better but the p1 pro has much bigger battery
The R1 only does 5 miles less than the P1 Pro for perspective.
@@SolarScootersuk I mean, yeah, but from 20Ah to 26Ah it looks like it could do more. Does the R1 have a Tron edition?
@@SolarScootersuk which one would you recommend for city riding?
@@paulhulub P1 Pro is my favourite

Around 30 miles on highest settings 👍🏽
@@SolarScootersuk epic
@@SolarScootersuk so how many miles would it get on lowest settings
@@arthur1486 a little less actually.
Using dual motors is more efficient as it spreads the load between the two motors
@@SolarScootersuk oh, so what s the eco mode used for? isnt that supposed to use less battery
would you possibly be able to make a video on the standard p1’s fastest settings?
We already have - check out the Solar P1 unboxing videos and our other vids on this
Was on a p1 that dose 99kmh, must be hacked or something, it has an extra gauge with red LCD digits, compared to this one.
Please don’t forget the X1
We will be discontinuing the X1 very soon. Although there are videos of the X1 on our channel.
Are these waterproof
Yes iv seen it on yt
No they're water resistant
Ip54 splash proof
Please can someone tell me all the default parameter setting for the solar f1 because my brother has messed them all up lol
Thanks
Hi - if you email our tech team with this issue they’ll be happy to assist.
hello@solarscooters.co.uk
I'm tall so r1 looks better for me
R1 was discontinued for the FF Lite! Which is the same scooter and size but upgraded components 🙏
@@SolarScootersuk but r1 50mph where ff lite 45mph seems sum downgrades as well
@@anthonyrodgers6613 the FF Lite will hit speeds of up to 50mph
Good video, apart from the appalling music, turn that off!
Damn
Wtf this is a speed test video and you can’t even do a speed test? The track is to short??? Why even make the video……
