- Have you experienced having difficulties while riding your scooter? Have you thought about what if something happens to you while you're on the road? We all know that "Prevention is better than Cure" and that is the exact reason why I made this video. Other than to prevent the possible technical difficulties, I also made sure that your scooter could be optimized on its optimum performance without visiting your eligible casa for minor adjustments and tune-ups.

This is high quality content! Thanks for posting! We just opened a scooter shop in New Orleans, United States and your kindness isn't forgotten!
Hi Bradley King! Thank you for appreciating my work! Congratulations to your new scooter shop. I've been dreaming to open a shop also but this pandemic is bringing tons of uncertainties in our country. Thank you and more power to your scooter shop! Stay safe
The acceleration problem you mentioned is the MOST IMPORTANT and SERIOUS concern out of the things you pointed out.
Hi DD, actually it's the smallest part yet the most dangerous part that should not be forgotten. That tiny screw on the throttle could bring tragedy on your riding experience. Thank you for appreciating my work. Stay safe!
Thanks I have a Bexley 10x but was pretty much the same saved me 80 dollars
Thank you Sir!!!
Picking up my own Zero10 later and this will help me a lot.
Hi Robert M! Congratulations for choosing Zero 10 as your personal scooter. If you have any questions about our Zero 10, feel free to ask me here or send me email at jgvstream@gmail.com . Ride safe brother!
Thank you so much for sharing you’re video.
Very informative on what I need to do when I receive my new Macury Grace 10 scooter from China which is the duplicate model of the zero 19 except I had more choices of battery configurations. I got a 52v 10 amp battery to save money but no 18 amp was available. Of the 3 videos I have watched, I found most of the tools and sprays you used but not everything. I hope they send me an Allen wrench or I will have to find a scooter store in nyc to help with maintenance which is not easy. Thanks so much!
Great content! However you should not add WD-40 to the bolts as that will easier make them come loose. Instead you should add threadlocker which secures the bolts from coming loose from vibrations and protect against corossion.
Hi! Thank you for appreciating my work and for your comment. There was one time that I experienced a creaking sound whenever I step on my deck. The technical support of its distributor told me that WD-40 could fix it by spraying it under inside those screws. And it really fixed it. However, I think the threadlocker trick could fix it anyway. Thanks to you bro. Will try it soon after this quarantine season
This is helpful. I'm a first time scooter user.
Hi Cebu EKScoot Chronicles! Thank you for appreciating my work. This is a good reference especially when you are planning a long ride with your friends. Ride safe!
Awesome video bro! Keep it up. Hope to see more videos of your Zero 10.
Hi Nth! Thank you for appreciating my work, rest assured I will be posting more videos about Zero 10. Keep safe!
@@JGVstream Bro, just a question. What's the diameter of the vertical stem that connects to the handle bar? Is it the same size with the Zero 9? I'm planning to mod it with another handle bar.
Hi @@RaizenFenix, sorry for the late reply. I'm afraid I can give you a satisfying answer. Because the hole in the vertical stem which connects the " T " handlebar has a shape of oval but straight edges on both sides. Like this image

@@JGVstream I see. Thanks for the reply.
@@JGVstream Bro have tried Kaabo scooters? Which has a better build quality?
I just got the zero 9 and i apreciate a lot your videos. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Beth Druid, thank you for appreciating my work! Zero 9 was in fact my 1st scooter. You can ask me anything about it. Stay safe bro!
Now that you say, do you know something about Unicool chinese brand ? Do you think they can be worthy in quality?
@@betodruid4422 From my personal opinion, Unicool is an OEM or maybe a clone brand of Zero scooters. Now if you're going to ask me about the quality, think about it this way.
If I am not mistaken, Nike shoes are manufactured in China since their labor fee has low-cost and they are equipped with mass-producing facilities. It is not a secret that when China accepts brands for mass production, they also tend to copy the entire product and rebrand them. Same process applies between Unicool scooters and FalconPev's Zero Scooters.
My scooter is made out from an OEM design, but for me, I had no problems with it. As long as it can deliver the specs I paid for. I hope I managed to answer your question
@@JGVstream thank you, will take the risk with one of them 🙏🏻👍
Excellent tips!
Hi Marcial Candido! Thank you for appreciating my work! Stay safe
Your videos are awesome!
Would be amazing if you could make a similar video on Zero10x + hydraulic brakes!
Hi Arbel Barak, thank you for appreciating my work! Yes I could make a video for that if someone can lend his/her scooter for me to shoot some video clips of it. Of course including hydraulic brakes if they are available.
Just ordered the Apollo Explore😎👍
Hi JeedogsRCbikelife! Congratulations on your Apollo Explore! I believe some of the parts from Zero 10 are similar with it, this guide could help your maintenance for your scooter. Ride safe bro!
JGV I actually sent the explore back and bought the pro
Where i can find the carry handle bar? Dou you have the link? And the little front wheels? Thank you
Hi, you can check it on www.falconpev.com.sg, they have all the spare parts and attachments for Zero scooters
If you're residing here in Philippines, www.streetwheels.ph is the official distributor of units, accessories and attachments for Zero scooters
What brackets did you use on you handlebars extenders and where can I find them? Thanks
Hi, great vid, and well explained. I see that you've got a pouch on the stem of your scooter. I also have a Zero 10, and I want to upgrade the range of it. Is that an external battery you got there? if so, how did you do it? Do you have a video showing the step by step on how to do the assembling procedure?
Thank you, and keep posting your contents.
Hi mauricio, thank you for appreciating my work! The pouch on my stem is actually a 2L Wild Man bag, it contains:
- Xiaomi Smart Air Pump
- Portable multi-tools
- 8.8ah Battery with 12v DC in/out
- 2x USB 2.0 ports for charging electronic devices like phone
If you're asking about the battery, it's not extending the range of my scooter, its purpose is to give power for my 12V Atom V2 lights mounted on my kiddie bar and my to my Cree light on the bottom of my sterm. The battery gives power also to my horn. All of them are triggered by switch. I can refer you to the person who did the entire setup if you want.
That’s great, nice job. But, what I am looking for is to extend the range of my scooter 🛴, even though the range that I get is not that bad. I just want to have something close to 60km in one single charge. Anyway, have fun and ride safe 👍
I just love how he does this sound effects with his mouth 😂 i’m not quite sure but i think only filipinos do that.... mabuhay ka kuya! 🙌
Hi Dwan Veloso, it's more fun when you colorize your videos with sound effects from your body. 🤣 Thank you for appreciating my work and mabuhay ka rin kabayan!
He conquer me when he started to sing about to dry the deck or something like that 🙌
@@betodruid4422 Even my gf is laughing so hard when she heard it. 🤣 Thank you for appreciating my work by the way. Ride safe always!
@@JGVstream Thanks bro, good work 👌
hello po keep on vlogging..keep safe
good vid
Thank you for appreciating my work! Stay safe and God bless you!
Sir nice e-scooter and excellent video quality. Sir may I ask po if the battery of Zero 10 is LG brand?
Hi Froilan! Sorry for the late reply. Sa pagkakaalam ko hindi LG brand ang battery ng Zero 10. Hindi sinabi ng FalconPEV ang exact brand ng battery niya pero ang gawa pa rin siya sa 18650 Lithium-Ion na batteries. Thank you for appreciating my work, ride safe!
@@JGVstream Sir thank you very much.
boss very nice video.. can i ask when did u do your pm in your scoots.. for every month? or what? from time to time? btw Godbless very informational..sir.
Hi nath polido! Thank you for appreciating my work, before lockdown, I used ride my scooter almost everyday, that's why I tend to do my preventive maintenance weekly or once every 2 weeks. Ride safe dude!
Good day sir, what parts of the zero 10 to check if i will buy a 2nd hand? how to check if the battery condition is still good? Thank you sir, and more power to your channel!
Hi robert castigador! I suggest you test drive the unit if you're buying a 2nd hand Zero 10. Try to do the ff:
1.) Check the brakes - Zero 10 has 2 kinds of brakes, Disc brakes and Electronic brakes. (You can google the settings on how to calibrate the Electric brakes). You can test the e-brakes by slightly pulling the brake levers. And if you pull it all the way, it will trigger the disc brakes. Both of them should work properly.
2.) Check the maximum speed - Try to lift the rear tire of Zero 10 and pull the throttle. On gear 3, it should render a maximum speed of 60kph.
3.) Check the suspension - Try to jump on the deck of your Zero 10, it should be bounceable
4.) Check the wirings, lights and the charging ports, see if they are intact and working properly
5.) Check the feel of the steering rod, it should be smooth when turning left and right
6.) Check the battery - for me, the only way to check the battery is to test drive the unit until it runs out of battery. You can easily see the battery charge of the scooter by reading its current voltage level. You can google the P-settings on how to see the current voltage. The battery should be drained at 42V. Refer to this image for more information

Sorry for the long read. Cheers!
Sir I'm planning to buy an e-scooter, my friend recommend me the Kaabo Mantis which is according to them a good one bec. it is powered by LG Battery. I've got confused bec my preferred unit is either Zero 10 or Zero 10x. Sir is this Skuts that u have uses LG battery? I'm asking this to convince myself that this is really the one for me just in case its LG brand. I hope u can help me with this. Thank you.
Hi Froilan! Sorry for the late reply and maybe you could have a proper decision if I responded on your previous comment immediately. Zero 10 is not equipped with LG Batteries. Sorry to say, pero sa experience ko naman, never ako nagka-issues sa battery niya. In fact nakakapag ride ako ng 40km for a single charge.
@@JGVstream Good day. Sir thank you very much. Temporary close p rin ata ang Streetwheels s ngyon.
Gusto ko rin sana maitest drive ang Zero 10 at 10x para malaman ko rin kung enough n yung speed ng Zero 10 or enough n yung top speed dahil bk d ko n rin kaya kung mas mabilis p. Sir thank u very uli s pag reply.
Hi @@froilanrobles1623 , major factor of the acceleration feel is the torque. I suggest that you consider the Voltage of the battery of your prospected scooter like Zero 10. It is equipped with 52V 18ah, which is the same as the 52V 18ah version of Zero 10x. Meaning their torque is almost the same, the only difference is their top-speed. Reaching the top-speed requires a lot of factors like inclination of the road, traffic, type of the road, tires, and of course, the time.
Keep making videos of Zero 10! :D
In one they give me mine, do you recommend it?. Is there something negative to consider?. Thank you
Hi Augusto Abd! Thank you for appreciating my work. I can recommend it if you use it for city driving, for commute and moderate travel distance. It's not so heavy so you can easily cross foot bridge and its acceleration and torque can cope up with motorcycles and cars, well considering moderate traffic. The negative part maybe because since it's not that heavy, it affects also on its parts, mainly the batteries. The range is not that enough for long travel distance. I hope this helps your question. Stay safe!
@@JGVstream Thanks for the info. How much autonomy does it give you?
My Xiaomi Pro gives me something of 35km and I am happy!
Hi. How did you install the external
Battery? How much voltage are you using on your extra battery? Thank you.
Hi Mauricio Virmond, I have a friend who actually do customization for e-scooters. He's the installer of my external battery and the Mini Driving lights and the horn attached in my kiddie bar. I can refer you to him if you are interested. Let's talk on my email jgvstream@gmail.com, ride safe bro!
I appreciate your vids in the Zero 10 (not much love on the Zero 10 compared to the 10X). Kayo lang po merong real-time maintenance vids for the Zero 10, apart from Falcon PEV's channels.
Ask ko lang po, what is that extra handle bar on top of the Zero 10's handlebar called? It's on 16:47. Salamat po, sir.
Hi Raymond Dasoy! Thank you for appreciating my work! the extra handle bar on top of my Zero 10's handle bar is just an extension handle bar designed for bikes. As you notice, it doesn't really fit that well that's why I used long threaded screws with nuts and rubber pads to avoid movements caused by vibrations. I hope this answered your question, ride safe bro!
a los tornillos no se les echa wd-40, no tienes ni idea, no me extraña que se te aflojen todos. Lo que tienes que hacer es echar fijatornillos
Se les hecha para evitar los crujidos.
I used lock tight both screws to avoid loosen up ;-)
Sir your trolley wheels are the same with the one that is used in zero 8 and 9?
Hi Richard, yes, those trolley wheels are also compatible with Zero 8 and 9. Keep safe!
Hi Myco Millan, yes, it is highly recommended to avoid unexpected malfunctions, leading to unexpected accidents.
Can i ask a question about the one small head light where did you attach that? Direct to battery or same with heal/tail light?
Hi Kevin Rodriguez! Are you referring to my headlight adjacent to my stem? That is directly attached on the stem, I just used a longer allen screw instead of its proprietary default allen screw. I hope this answers your question. Stay safe!
JGV i want to add a U7 LED light 12V to my scooter 48V im thinking to connect the wire on the same wire with my normal light or should i use some fuse/ dc converter... i have Joyor Y10 and i already put led strip light with external battery i dont want to mess with the main battery😅
i am having power issues it doesn't power on what could be the problem ?
Sir have u ever tried the top speed. Is the Zero 10 Skut can really go 48kph?
Hi Froilan! I've tried speeding up my scooter on a free and flat road, that time I've reached a maximum speed at 46kph. But if it could give me more time to speed it up, MAYBE I can reach the maximum 48kph. Considering my weight (~80kg) and the added weight from my attachments (5-6kg). Normally from the advertisement of Zero 10, they say it's maximum speed is 48kph, but of course without attachments and I think FalconPev always set the weight of the sample rider at 70kg.
@@JGVstream Sir we are in the same built, I'm 79kg.I think 40-48 kph for scooter is fast enough, beyond this speed is a bit dangerous, I don't know, I'm not sure that's why I will go for a test drive before I buy. Sir thank you so much.
Hi @@froilanrobles1623 , for me the word "fast" depends on my current driving area. If I'm in a city like Manila or Pasig, 40kph - 48kph is really fast enough, but if I'm in an open-road area, wide and very minimal traffic, I could say 40-48kph is not that fast enough. But dude, Manila to Oritgas in 35minutes with Zero10 is really rewarding. Just saying.
Ano po ang brand ng allen ang gamit ninyo and ung wrench na rin.
Hi Lloyd Sangalang! Brandless actually mga tools ko kasi ni-order ko lang sa Lazada. Alam mo yung mga brandless na china-made na items? Parang ganun lang. Set ko na kasi sila binili. Ride safe bro!
boss anong tawag don sa bar mo para sa extra light at anong light ang gamit mo don?
Hi nino vinalon! The bar is what we call "Kiddie Bar", and the small driving lights attached to it are called "Atom V2 Premium driving lights"
how often do you oil it up
Hi AJ, before lockdown, I tend to do that entire maintenance once a week, during saturdays actually. But now, I think once every 2 or 3 weeks. Ride safe bro!
Hi sir. Kamusta ang Zero 10 sa mga rough roads at potholes? I have a Zero 9 kasi at ramdam ko sa handles yung lubak tapos umiiwas ako sa maliliit na potholes kasi natatakot ako sumemplang eh.
Hi Rey Aldrin Gawaran! Sorry for very late reply. Actually inabot na ako ng lockdown dito sa province so dito na rin ako nakakapag-scoot. In terms of rough roads, kinakaya naman ng Zero 10 kapag mild ang mga lubak at bato-bato. Pero Kapag matutulis na talaga ang mga bato at mejo hardcore ang mga lubak, pumapajak-pajak ako minsan dahil hindi talaga kinakaya ng suspension at road-tires ko. Kaya siguro kung naka-rough road tires ako. Ride safe!
@@JGVstream I see salamat sir. Di naman prone sa flat ang 10 incher na wheels?
Hi sir. What tire sealant are you using? Advisable ba na gamitan both stock tires ni zero 10? And also, from the time na nag lagay ka, na-flattan ka na ba? Salamat sir! Same unit kasi tayo kaya i could learn so much from you.
Hi True North! Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for appreciating my work! I used the "KOBY Tire sealant", you can easily purchase that in Lazada. Buy 2 pieces since one tire requires one entire bottle. The stock tires are ok as long as you won't pass thru broken pieces of glasses or sharp and pointed rocks. It's not that capable of passing thru rough road.
From the time na nag-lagay ako ng sealant, hindi pa ako na-flattan sir, the sealant was installed last January 2020. I hope this helps your question. Stay safe!
Salamat sa info! Hindi ba sir makakaapekto sa reading ng tire psi kung may sealant sa loob?
Kelan next upload nyo sir? Excited to learn something new from you hehe. Ride safe always!
Yoo, does anyoen still have their Zero 10 on hand? And if so, may I request some tutorials or close up photos of specific parts
anong tawag sa tools na gamit nyo po sa pag higpit ng prino?
Hi mckevin! Ang tinutukoy mo ba ay yung Allen Wrench? Or baka pwede ma-ituro sa akin yung time-stamp kung saan banda sa video yung tinutukoy mo na hinigpitan ko yung preno. Ride safe!
KABAYAN TAGALOG MIX NAMAN DYAN OH
