That was a good video mate. I found it pretty entertaining seeing someone who loves petrol performance vehicles like yourself reviewing an electric moped. 🏍️
As a sports bike rider I have quite a dislike of scooters, yet I still found this review interesting and entertaining. Keep the reviews of weird and wonderful stuff coming! Well done for not geting cleaned up by that taxi (4:18) too.
You know in china and Thailand they mod the sheet out of these, mid 10’s almost 130mph Shame you didn’t get a run on the 300, I’m looking at getting that one
Classic little ride around, mate. Base model's 50kmh speed limit is a bit low and sketchy for Aussie cities but i definitely agree that they make a lot of sense in metro areas. Changing my commute from 4 to 2 wheels sliced a good 80% off my fuel bill. Keep reviewing the most obscure shit you can find! ps - standard sydney taxi driver behaviour at 4:15
50kmh limit in Qld means can ride on a car licence. And get run over because o. 70 roads when crazy doing 90 you're a pest real quick. It was a great review!
This is my only issue with these bikes. As a rider you’re told to ride as if everyone is out there to kill you. At least with petrol you have the sound aspect making you known to other road users but this losses out on that too. With the standards of drivers in Sydney and Metro Aus generally, I think this might be a death trap
@@morganrutnumI get where you are coming from, but to be honest, unless it is the very noisy ones, most cars now have very silent cabin which will not let the drivers hear a lot of the sound outside.
Small well priced individual EV transports make a great amount of sense compared to a full car. I drive a big dumb Triton as my daily, but I also have a high powered dual motor scooter for getting around when the weather is nice. When the cost is 90c for 100km range it's hard to argue, and they can be a lot of fun. The build standards and BMS need to improve though, along with a complete swap over to LFP batteries. EDIT: These are NOT well priced.
50kph tops is fine. here in asia you don't even need a licence for that. to be fair in london the average speed has stayed the same at around 18kph for the last 100 years.
Could be useful for city dwellers, but doesn't do much for me... Not sure I'd want to charge the battery in the house tho. :/ I think you should do a test on that Mk1 Esky tho!
@@mahcooharper9577 That was the highlight of the review for me. Seeing that burble past. It’s apparently designed with all of the latest fail-safe tech etc. But yeah, even so, I agree. I would be charging the battery in the back shed or somewhere with fresh moving air.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia if you travelled 10kms to work then you would catch transport surley if your tight, and if your tight then you also wouldn't spend 4k
Great video, but never ride a bike with out protection or your become a peeler , gloves , proper boots and protective clothes are mandatory, ps been riding bikes 53 years 😊👍👍
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia so you come of and the skin comes off your hands , even some of your muscle tissue and your hands can’t wear gloves or their none available to fit , hope you do t come off
The seat. Having a seat to press your thighs against and plant your feet makes it safer in tight situations. A stand up scooter is dangerous because if you lose grip on just one hand.. your in trouble. The only thing keeping you on a stand up scooter are your 10 little fingers. That's why "off road" advertised stand up scooters is a fallacy. When you come off the deck your in trouble. You can lay one of these down like a motorcycle and come out of it rather injury free. Love the Kaabo. I ride a stand up 50mph rig myself, but I know at any second I could be flying through the air and landing on my head.

@@mannbat Thanks!
Thanks for that. I'm a scooter fan and really enjoyed this review and would like to see more of this kinda stuff
Well worth exploring what's out there as alternatives in transport when thecar isn'tneeded, good review.
Cardboard in the spokes will make it safer & allow others to hear when your coming :D
Great review.
I found that interesting. Keep em coming I say. My daughter could use one of these
Makes sense for the younger generation.
Full 0-100 test?
See if it lights up the rear wheel!
@@mahcooharper9577 Yes, that will be the main priority. Maybe need a splash of water.

Do you have to register it and do you need a motor bike licence?

How easy is it to remove and charge the batteries?

an Uber ride still maybe cheaper for that amount of kms/ initial outlay plus depreciation

It pays to have day time running lights to make others can see you coming ... since they can't hear you.

Why build an escooter with the same ugly body of a regular gas scooter?
It's a scooter, it's supposed to look like a scooter.
How is that legal but my Kaabo electric scooter is not
