WOW - Ben
Have you ever seen "how to spot paid reviews" articles?
These products are (I didn't even bother going back to count) "simply fantastic and perfect" times 20... And without even a single point of criticism.... Either disclose that it is an ad, not a review - or start doing reviews exclusively. You have betrayed your audience, lost all credibility and - I hope - will lose audience, until you become transparent..
I'm sure you are going to delete this post... Would be in line with being honest and transparent..
the camera work alone is so awesome to watch. love it!
I purchased Zero 9 last month. My commute to work is 14.1 miles one way, 28.2 round trip. On a full charged battery, I was able to make the round trip commute. Using speed modes 1&2. Still had 1 bar left on battery.
Dang very impressive
A powerful scooter like the 9 can easily pull 30 miles if driven softly.
I've done the full 25 on my Horizon/Zero 8 in one trip, max speed.
@@AuthenTech Great video, I am 6 ft tall kind of worry about handlebar height.
How tall are you cause it seems you had to hunch down and legs are more bent than what I can sustain for long time?
Thanks !
Have had my Zero 9 for 2 years, and it is a blast. I recently invested in an external battery add-on from Falcompev which doubles the watt hours of the scooter. The batteries are set up in parallel, so the peak voltage is still in the 54+ range. Not only can I easily hit 40 miles of range (in hilly Seattle), but, there is much less voltage sag through the voltage range. So even at 1/2 battery consumed, I am still seeing 50+volts input at full acceleration. I took a brisk 20 mile/32km ride today and still registered 47.9v on both batteries. Both internal and external batteries must be within 1v of each other or you can get yourself into trouble. The controller draws down the voltage equally from both batteries, so no worries there. The external battery comes in a stylish Zero semi-hard bag mounted on the top of the handle bars. I can still fold the handles down when the bag is installed.
7:43 amazing shot with that dragonfly. Great video
That was one of my fav shots too :)
@@AuthenTech DOPE!!!
Glad to have found this chanel , content quality is top notch
good comparison! The Zero 10X is a monster, insane acceleration, dual motors 1000W, scary fast, real 40-41 m/h, endless torque eating away the tires at liftoff ;)
In the market for an electric scooter and this video has given me a pure perspective on what to go for thanks for the review ...
Cool glad it helped
Thank I've bend looking for one of those, keep up with good work reviewing and resources best of revising items .
Thanks* been*
Yay! An actual review. Best scooter review ive watched thus far. I think this scooter is the one!! Thank you
Thanks a lot for the reviews! I need one for commuting, so grateful for your insights. Wish you had shown us a bit more how to operate them and where the battery is located, charged from.
Such a great video and channel! Because of that I liked the video and subscribed and turned on post notifications!
Good review!#😊 and very good camera angles..
Loved the insta360 one x shots!! Great video as usual Ben=)
Thanks man
I've had the Zero 8 for two months now and simply love it. I'm convinced that this is the best buy/value/performance e-scooter out on the market today. I've seen another reviewer comparing Zero 8 and Zero 9 and believe it or not, the Zero 8 has the better acceleration and it's also two pounds lighter. And like you, I get top speed of 23 mph and have even reached 24-25 mph on fresh battery and I'm 183 lbs. Trust me, that's plenty fast around busy downtown areas
People want to go fast until they see what happened to some people that do. Then they're like..... I'm good at 15 mph
Never stop this vids man
Much love
Thanks so much, these are fun :)
This video is very good and very helpful. I was planning to get a Zero 10X but I now want to self-limit myself to lower speeds in order to preserve life and limb. This video shows that the Zero 9 has good enough suspension, which was the main feature that I liked on the 10X. I'm still a bit nervous about 8.5" tires, but with the suspension they should be alright at
zero 9 has 9" pneaumatics
Great review! 👍
Thank you! I will be visiting their website as soon as I get home!
Very good video Sir, clear explanation, good introduction, nice videos, straight to the point, subscribed.
same. solid.
Great review and footage!
Wait til you try a 10X (I have a Zero 9 as well)
Definitely install some after market lights for night riding. The built in ones are fine for your visibility to other road users, but nowhere near good enough to see where you are going at the speeds they can do !
I can also say that Falcon PEV is pretty damn great when it comes to customer service. I ordered the 10X on a Thursday night in Australia. The same night they emailed saying there was a wait for the 18Ah model but the 24Ah was in stock. I asked if I could get a discount as I was a repeat customer and they knocked $200 off shipping on the spot. The scoot arrived at my door the following Tuesday! From Singapore. Can't expect much better than THAT! :)
A really great and detailed video! Thanks for sharing!
I was about to buy the ninebot max but your video changed my mind to buy the zero 8. Thank you 😊
Did you bought it?
Very good presentation. Thank you Ben.
Great video and review that was full of info and answered all my questions about these scooters. I own a Qiewa scooter I bought off Amazon and it died after a year. Looking for a replacement and I've found it because these scooters have a suspension, great speed, and range. I'd never buy a scooter without those 3 specs and the Booster Scooter is nice and built to last but no suspension.
Hey Ben, really nice review thank you. I really wish that you had taken the time to ride it long enough to go empty so that you could tell us how far it will go on a charge. I'm interested in the nine now that I saw your review but I feel like you haven't finished the review.
thanks for using metric system.
5:17 looks like video game
Great review! I love my Zero 8. I hit the 600 mile mark today and I had it for a little over a year.
Very nice! 🤘
I need one for summer. I have a question if zero 8 can go on 8km ride with hills (up and down pretty steep). I need one that has the range to do that
@@wilsonfisk6156 for hills you'll want dual motors and a big battery
Great job Bro ! Greetings from Paris France.
Great review. Looks like a very good sturdy scooter. Now let’s see the longevity of it 1yr or 2yrs from now.
Will still function the same.?
Have you done a review of the Zero 10x?!?! seriously considering buying one so a review would be great! This was also very informative!
Good job, Ben, Just wandering when you can do the view for our Apsuboard, thanks so much.
I'm planning on buying my first electric scooter but I'm conflicted on whether to get a Boosted Rev or one of these Zero scooters. I like that these have suspensions but I'm a little concerned with their build quality. I would be using it around the city but I expect bumpy roads to get to my building so stability while riding is really important to me.
Great video, this is perfect for a first time buyer
Well done and great input on features.
Thanks
I've had the zero 8 for three months now and I believe the zero 8 is the best scooter in terms of price/performance/weight. I'm 182 lbs and I go 23-24 mph top speed, even reached 26 mph going downhill. This is more than enough speed in my busy downtown Chicago area. Surprisingly, I've also seen many reviewers say that the zero 8 has faster acceleration than the zero 9.
Great to hear! It's a fantastic scooter
Could you please tell me the range in miles you achieved with this please
So exciting. Thanks Ben for sharing the scooter they're the best
Is it good in the rain?
@@NinerNation81 You could probably seal the deck with waterproofing material.
Great job with video, I really enjoyed it. I think my kids are going to end up with something like the 8 or 9 in a year or too. They are ready for more than the Razor products offer them
I can't afford none of them, but it's fun seeing you enjoy them
I can afford only zero 8
Must suck to be broke
probably the best review of the Z9 on youtube
Great video. I ordered mine last week, having to wait until July in UK to get this though.
Have fun!
Wow that's weird the multi tool it came with is part of the sahoo bike tube repair kit
Nice one!i have gyroscooter and i have fun of it..keep it up!🙏
Yo this is a very good and informative review! 5/5
Great review. Good job!
Thanks!
Excellent review but you didn't mention the weight of each, which is useful to know if you are considering to take it on a bus or subway or carrying up stairs.
Can some of you comment about the inflatable tires vs just fully rubber tires... Have heard it's a pain to change them if you get a flat. Thanks. I'm "this close" to ordering this Zero 9! Am hooked!!!!
Saving up for the 8x
Well presented and thorough
Thanks Michael
I love this review! Buying my zero9!!
Did you get it? How is so far im trying to get one
What's up with the scooter mountain? Is that strong enough for you to drive up
Ooh and one more thing speed matter to me thank again for info. Keep up with good work😎👌
*thanks*
Thank you for starting with the price !
Like these but I’m a little gravity enhanced so I went with a Dualtron Thunder it can handle my weight better. Do like that 9 though
Excellent job
Great review, what are you using to mount your 360 camera? Love those shots!!
Using the selfie stick with the Insta360, and sometimes their biking waist strap for hands-free
I have a m365. I preordered the mercane widewheel, cancelled it for a boosted rev. Cancelled the boosted rev, and now looking at the zero 9. I just cant make my mind up!!!
Zero 9 is beast mate. Worth it!
@@lordPix3lUK It is also very unsafe. The stem has no reinforcement in the base, hit the right bump and you have 2 scooters.
Hahaha the story looks like mine. I was about to get the Ninebot g30 max, cancelled the order and thought of KUGOO g max... hold off buying it as I found this Z8. I’m so confused
Xxrouphco
Is there an option to purchase the same size and shape/width solid rear tire as the front tire for the Zero 8? Because with the front and rear tires having different width and size, it's impossible to have precise steering. This is very noticeable going downhill and on narrow, twisty bike lanes.
Awesome video and channel
Great content zero 9 ore zero 10 , which one would you recommend
Do you need to inflate the tire or is it easy to replace the tire
are really nice both of this scoters but the question is if the motor is brushless or not?
Hello,
I want to know if it is not dangerous to ride the scooter with the trolley system on it ?
"I've never hit empty"
then you haven't finished the review.
Hello sir. Is that model also available on Europe? Thank you
i want a review on the Zero 10, maybe vs. the zero 9, but alone would be fine , like hardly any reviews on the new model
I've been riding my M365 with custom firmware for a year now without any issues at almost 25mph according to my phone GPS. I've replaced the rear tube once now but never had any issues.
Does it go better uphill?
It does, it still struggles with steeper hills but I don't usually have to deal with that where I live. But it does have a bit more power over stock firmware.
Great throw review !!! I'd like to see more competitive scooters. Still not alerting enough to take me away from my onewheel but could be a good suggestion to someone who doesn't have the dexterity to ride a one-wheel !
If you could test ride one, like the ZERO 9 or 10, I bet it might steal you away from your slow onewheel ;-)
@@AuthenTech hahah maybe but 20 miles an hour is very achievable on the one wheel. ;) The reason I keep gravitating back to it is cuz the hands-free aspect / size it's much more manageable easy to throw in a shopping cart or slide under a desk!
My Zero 8 will push up a 15-25 degree hill/ incline fairly easy,esp using level 3 mode. It only struggles a bit when my battery is almost spent. It's a good scooter for looks,power,speeds,range,and comfort. Rev Rides has really good customer support. Good review of a good product.Thanks!
Can you switch how fast it goes?
@@jacobevensen7614 It has three speeds - 1 st speed is about 10 mph. 2nd is to about 16 mph 3 rd speed is between 19-22 mph I travel light,have few hills,and weigh 160 lbs. Hope this helps.
Great video thanks for your time.
I am curious about the 8 or 9, the folding lever for deck to handle bars seems like a safety issue as the guy in video hit red pin with is foot and scooter folded, seems like a weak spot or bad design.
i have worried about this myself. did u ever get an answer?
Matthew Vo , your the only one to comment, do you have one?
Hi
Zero 10 or Kaboo Mantis Pro v3 2020 model..
which one would you chose🤞
What do you use for filming ? from the shadow in some shots lie in 6:35 we can see that it's like a camera attached to a long selfie stick... and then the stick gets removed through image processing ? How did you do that ? Really cool video by the way, great review.
It's a 360° camera
Great Vid mate. I will give you a sub and see what else you have on your channel.
Thanks
Does the handlebars slowly move down throughout a ride on the Zero 9 due to road vibrations, weight stress, and gravity like my Zero 8? I found that just using the provided clamp is not enough. It'd be great if these adjustable handlebar height stems have preset holes so this doesn't happen for greater durability and safety
I'm in Arizona. Air tires have a life of about 2.5 hours and then it's constant battle to keep them fixed, patched, replaced, liners, goo, etc. It's no fun always having a flat.
Nice video 👍🏽👍🏽
Which would be the best bet, Zero 9 or the kugoo G2 Pro?
nice ride!
Thanks for sharings your idea Best electric scooter ever
Thanks!
20A and 25A not sure what it means but AFAIK coming from FPV drone world, those values are the max amps that the controller can handle?
Your focus on the on the 7 points is good but a few more items to discuss are reliability, durability and ground clearance, as I have many speed humps in my area.
You can hop those jumps on any scooter with suspension like the 8/9
The scooter is more durable than you are and the reliability is on the parts which are easily replaced.
is there a scooterboard version of the 9? that would be perfect
What about rain? IP rating?
In your opinion, is the Zero 10 worth the extra $300-$400 over the Zero 9? I’m 6 foot 205 and will do commuting no further than 8 miles round trip.
I've bought a scooter MaxSpeed mini 5 lately. And it's just the exact copy of Zero 9. They are just identical. But in case of Zero 9 it was made by FalconPEV. And Max Speed mini 5 is made by Chinese company Hiley. The scooter actually costs less in my country - 685 USD. I'm from Belarus.
I live in Bucharest and there are surprises on the road that cannot be avoided if going on the main roads. What scooter can handle 4-5cm unexpected borders?
Excellent 👌 video, I'm in the market for an electric scooter and this one appears to be a very good one. My job is 20 minutes away 15 with no traffic so to me it makes sense to purchase an Escooter.
Random Stuff I recommend a Segway es3 from Costco
zero 8x (not zero 8) available in US?
solid wheels for both?
great footage
Can you turn off the led blue lights?
Cool i love this.. I will order one
How to get one of these
I want the 8x but it's so heavy, I'll probably get the 9, good size and power
Great video, but how are you filming it without any visible connection between you and your camera. There’s a shadow showing some kind of selfie stick, is that automatically edited out of the video then? Just like the Mars Rover photos taken on Mars, no visible connection to the camera taking the photo. How’s it done?
It's accomplished with this magic! :) ua-cam.com/video/nx_oLCzh1mM/v-deo.html
Hi I cant make my mind up between the zero 9 or the nanrobot d4+ what are your thoughts I have a couple of long hills near where I live thanks in advance
Which ruroc helmet is being used in this vid?
I am not a fan of led straps, is it possible to turn them off permanently? Also does anyone know how it compare to ruima mini 4 pro or widewheel?
u can disconnect the wire to turn them off quite easily
Nice camera footage what camera is u using
So should I get the ninebot max or the 9?
I love my Zero ❤
