No, I started with a 3 wheel City Hopper TriStar then I bought a Varla Pegasus where I live we have lots of potholes.
@@dwayne783 how do you like the pegasus?! Mine is coming in tomorrow
I started with thr kqi1 pro and it started my obsession woth e scooters lol one day I'll have a kaabo wolf king gtr💜💜💜
Just got my fist scooter yesterday, i got the nami burn e max , even if every video said not to start with that one 😅
Only two scooters in this video are even an option for me. That’s the two EMOVE scooters because they both have adjustable handlebars. Every video I’ve watched seems to neglect this fact, even EMOVE’s own website doesn’t make much mention of it (or bother to tell you the full range of said handlebars). I’m barely 5” 2’ with shoes on. Most scooters are way too tall for a shorter female, or even a shorter male, but that doesn’t mean these people aren’t looking for scooter and having a really hard time of it. It took me forever to realize some eScooters have adjustable handlebars because nobody ever mentions it! It’s frustrating! We are not all tall. I’m leaving this note here so maybe in future videos you can consider your shorter audience and let them know more info on the scooters best for them. 😊
Nice! Thanks for stopping by and we hope you find the scooter that’s right for you. -Vosk
l feel like the niu KQi3 max is the best escooter for new riders. good range speed and the price is amazing.
I had the original Uscooter (etwow) back in 2014
I'm 6 1, 225 lbs.
Speed was 16, kick for 19mph
Distance was mind boggling 24-25 miles with KERS Regen braking.
28lbs
In 2021 I ride buddies Kaabo mantis 8 (41moh with dual motor)
2000 watt (1000+1000)
Used one motor at a time fur overall distance (33mi) Bec 9-12 hour charge is 😜
Drop it down to 25ish mile range if you drop the hammer 🔨 in dual motor mode (mofo mode)
Not for woosies
I rode in traffic next to pickup 🛻 doing max 41 mph for about 5 blocks.
Sounds fun but one mistake and damn you're 🚑 🩸
Single motor 25mph was fine
Very Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
I agree that the speed on these little monsters is a bit much. I feel they are designed for the younger crowds with quicker reflexes but when a person's body hits the road >> the road hits back
Ask me how I know with a metal plate and steel pins in my arm. So please stay safe everyone.
for long term use, dont waste your money on emove cruiser and touring. those are alibaba rebranded scooters same as Yume d5+ or Nanrobot d4+. these scooters have stem wobble after awhile, and the controllers tend to get faulty. best to buy quality brand like segway.
The EMOVE Cruiser’s stem latch is a completely different style from the Yume or Nanrobot. It’s definitely a good idea to check fasteners on any scooter once a month or more if ridden daily though, to prevent anything from loosening up. -Paul
You should do a video of best scooter for a hilly city like San Francisco! Been looking for the perfect scooter for the city
Interesting idea! Thanks for the tip. -Vosk
This older vid just popped up on my google youtube feed. I just bought my first scooter, the NIU kqi2 pro, Best Buy had it for $379.00. For that price, it seemed like a good place to start. It's been great fun so far. I was really debating and still am on getting a full suspension and will probably do that within the next year. Your site/channel helped me to make the decision, thanks!
🤔Haven’t watched this channel in a little bit, was watching when it first started, what happened to the skinny tall bald White guy?
I'm actually slightly taller than Chuck! Chuck and his wife had a baby about a year ago and he's is a full-time Dad these days. -Paul (the other tall skinny bald guy)
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide lol nice. 🥸
I guess you can consider me an newbie. Got the FreegoEV ES10 my first scooter in August. (Stay away from it, it was too much work repairing constantly). I tried the Etow GT and it was 27lbs, 750 watss, solid honeycomb tires and gets about 27 miles, top speed 28 to 30, was fun to ride. Even though the ES10 was 2000 watt dual motors it cause me so many headaches electrically.
Yes we like the Et Wow! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Hi from NJ. I love your channel. New subscriber here. I’m 5’-8” tall and weigh 248 pound. My budget is $1k and I think the NIU KQi3 Max fit on me. What do you think? Any recommendation? Thanks a lot.
If you have any hills we would recommend something with Atleast 100 watt rear motor if not dual motors. -Vosk
6:54 Says Apollo updates their app often... it hasn't been updated in 4 months. ESG promotes companies far more than it objectively critiques them.
You’re right! It turns out that it has been 4 months since the last update! For fun, I looked at all of the updates just now. There have been 11 updates over the course of 17 months. So that’s about one update every 1.5 months on average. -Paul
I recently purchased an Emove Cruiser and crashed on the third day of riding (my fault entirely, scooters aren't made for mud). Thankfully, I was wearing a helmet and only got some minor scrapes, but I learned something important about the scooter when the only damage I discovered was a cracked voltmeter and fender. The biggest takeaway I can give about the Cruiser is that Voro has some great priorities. They made some sacrifices in material quality (I've stripped bolts and scratched some paint off the soft frame in my attempt to waterproof it), but they didn't cheap out on the most important parts, like the battery, motor, and suspension. If I had to design a high-end commuter scooter, I would've done the same thing. Learning about scooter maintenance is part of the fun, right? In all seriousness, I'd still wholeheartedly recommend the Cruiser, but there's some danger when referring to it with near-total optimism.
Glad you are okay! Stay Safe out there. -Vosk
Love the videos. Admittedly I ignored your advice and bought a nami burn e 2 max as my first scooter. Zero regrets. If I die, I'll die smiling.
Stay Safe out there! Thanks for sharing.
-Vosk
@Shane W fluidfreeride. came in great condition aside from a bent front disc rotor. Under warranty so a new one is on the way for free. It's an absolute blast. It is on the pricier side. I may have been just as happy with the wolf king gt for 1k less. I watched many reviews and many attested to the smoother ride quality of the nami compared to the beastly king gt. I liked the look of the nami. Didn't seem plasticy.
same here, I bought inokim oxo, when I die, I die like a man.
@@artjomtamm7751 The O-X-O is S-L-O-W compared to a Nami Max
If you die on one of those it is because you were going so slow that someone ran *YOU* over.
Just kidding, 36mph (ESG tested with 165Lb rider)) is very fast for a scooter.
What do you recommend between niu kqi2, hiboy s2 pro, hiboy s2 or Segway ninebot e22?
Niu
I love how ESG always gives out non bias suggestions and reviews. They have motivated me so much to get into the micromobility. I am soon gonna get a scooter for myself ❤️
Thank you so much! -Paul
l agree you guys help me to get my first escooter and the thing with you guys is just you give a lot of information about escooter so that why you guys are my favourite escooter channel out there so thank you so much esg.❤❤❤
@@gluemaster5415 wow thank you gluemaster! Shared this with the entire team in our Slack channel. Also we've seen you in the comments section before, so double thanks to you - Chase
NIU just released an ultra budget scooter the Kqi1, it might be interesting to check it!
Definitely curious about that one. We don’t have one yet. -Paul
Looks like Niu is trying to dominate the scooter world - lol. But the 1 series stem does not lock into place so it's not really portable.
My first scooter is the Unagi. Very easy and forgiving. However, it really needs a suspension system. So much vibration on bumps and cracks. Feels like an earthquake sometimes. Good power, but bad ride quality. It gets really sketchy at 15+ mph, and starts wobbling. 7/10 in my opinion. Just badly needs a suspension system.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
So I decided to get emove touring, can’t wait to get back to California and put to use in the high desert, wish me luck. A shout out to this channel for helping in the process.
That’s a great scooter! Enjoy. -Vosk
Thanks for the review. contemplating which one to get. :) still checking. Thanks for the info
Glad I could help!
This channel is the goto for anyone looking to buy an e-scooter
Thanks so much for the kind words! -Vosk
Goto organization for securing items known......
The unagi is PERFECT for new riders cause of the subscription and after putting well over 500 miles on my unagi in just 3 months (the odometer konked out on me 😂) Ive been spoiled by a 30 pound weight and a 20 mph top speed and I'm not willing to compromise on those points but I'm also sick of only getting 6 miles of range (I can't even get the 8.5 you guys get and I'm not a big guy at all) so it looks like the u scooters gt sport might be the only option for me on this list despite the ride quality (as an unagi rider it's not like I'm not used to mediocre ride quality)
Are there any other scooters with these qualifications that might have a better ride quality? I've also been looking at the fluid mosquito which I noted isn't on this list
You guys rock!
The Fluid Mosquito is also a great scooter. It costs a $100 less than the U-Scooters GT-Sport because it uses generic cells rather than Samsung cells, and it has a slightly lower top speed, but I don't miss the last 1 or 2 mph when I ride the Mosquito. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide that's good to know thanks for your response!
Kqi3 max is my first scooter. Love it for fun rides. Maybe add a hyper scooter on Black Fri. Found an auction liquidator that sells returned Niu scooters no box for half price.
NIU KQi3 Max in the house (thanks to your review)!!!
Anytime! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Obky thing I wasn't to found of with the nui scooters is the lack of work you're able to do yourself. It'd like the iPhone of scooters. They don't want you doing any work they only want you to ship out to them to fix🤷♂️ or else you'll void your warranty in some areas.main reason I switched from a kqi1 pro🤷♂️
What sort of work were you thinking about doing? A quick repair with factory parts? Tire swap? -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide tire swap, mine currently has off road tires but I wanna switch to pmt tires I hear so much about. Most of my riding is inner city roads 98% of the time
I wish you guys did a review on the 2 ausom brand scooters. I won't be able to afford a 3k scooter for another year or so but I'm no doubt getting the wolf king gt. Just a matter of not spending money lmfao I just got my ausom leopard and I'm actually quite impressed by the quality. It's nothing crazy to write home about but for $700 it's easily one of the better cheaper scooters out there imo. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about both the single motor leopard and the dual motor gallop. Both are under $1500
Thanks. I looked it up because it was mentioned in another comment. We’ll see if they reach out to us to test one. We have so many scooters lined up to test that we tend not to reach out to scooter companies if they haven’t expressed an interest first. -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide well I hope they do. You guys do some of the best testing out of anyone hands down, so I'd love an in depth pov from people who KNOW scooters and see what you have to say about them🔥🔥👍
Sorry to necro an 8 month old comment section, but...
The Xiaomi is kind of represented in the Swagtron line(swagger 5 elite/boost), at least when I was looking into user repairability before buying the swag, xaiomi m365 was tacked on parenthetically as a sister scooter.
It's dirt cheap and build quality reflects that, but I got a used swagger 5 boost(300w) from a local market place for $175. Even with the issues I've had it's been good enough as a learner, and has me researching/deal hunting for my next scooter/small e-bike(which is what brought me to your nice vid). Been seeing refurbished ones in the $230-250 range from their website - 18 mph on flat(170 lbs), claimed range is 11 mi, but I haven't done anything close to that yet.
Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
This reviews will help me decide on my first escooter.
Thanks so much! We appreciate that. -Vosk
So I get the scooter aren’t going to be like $100 but like I don’t think “new riders” are going to spend 600-$1000 dollars on a scooter
Depends on the person! Many do
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide cool, and do you think the Gotrax GXL V2 and hover 1 alpha are good scooters
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE... Tell these scooter makers to put lithium phosphate batteries in there and make the batteries removable if not
Not sure!
Ccc hello... Very interesting channel. Why dont u never talk about "Slack" scooter...? Is it à problème with them ? Thank u.
We have not heard of that brand! -Vosk
Never ride a scooter in a pothole you go around it . Just like driving a car.
We 100% agree with that statement!
-Vosk
Pro tip 😂
I've recently bought Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 (not Pro) and pretty pleased with it considering the price (under 500$)
Awesome! Enjoy your scooter. -Vosk
What are the best electric scooters forb2023 2024??

My biggest issue with Joyor is finding somewhere local to take it for service! I've been considering a newer/faster/better range model, but it's concerning how difficult it's been to find somewhere to diag past issues.
Joyor F7 a few years ago from a vendor in Philadelphia. More than satisfied with the features and specs (despite having missed our on the next model's on-the-go battery charging capabilities using energy generated by friction while coasting.
We have not tried that brand!
Good review! On another note, is it just me or does the ESG guy seem like he could be Stephan Graham's Dad? Lol 🤣😆
Lol haha!
i dont see any xiaomi options, are there one or two you would recommend to me? i mostly need good built, brakes and good range, thx
That brand has not innovated in a while! -Vosk
I need a beginner friendly scooter that will climb fairly steep hills. Would be great to sort those into one video.
Great Idea! Thanks for the tip.
Wow thanks for this!
Our pleasure! -Vosk
Hi can you test the Teverun fighter Supreme pls it’s very important I think it looks like the nami e 2 max but I’m not sure
We will try to get you! Thanks -Vosk
Yadea KS5 Pro is probably one of the best choices 650-850$
We have not tested that brand!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide test it then)!
I own Unagi and i used to have a kick scooter when younger. I am super pro excellent on Unagi. Not exaggerating 😊
That's awesome!
Following up on the Emove Cruiser - do you suggest we purchase from voromotors?
Yes that’s a highly recommended company! The cruiser is a great choice. -Vosk
Why do I feel that ESG has a beef with Segway, They bash the Ninebot Max every chance they get.
The Ninebot MAX is the scooter by which other scooters are measured. It’s a testament to how successful that model was. The G30 is getting a little old now though and we hope to see something new from them in 2023. Segway makes some great scooters. Check out our review of the GT2 and you’ll see some love for Segway! -Paul
10:34 what is the name of the song you used?
Not sure! Try to Shazam it
Im gonna start with a Apollo city single motor 2023, is that a good one?
Yes that is a excellent choice! You can use code RIDERGUIDE for $50 off. -Vosk
When are you guys gonna make a ks4 vid saw you unbox but no performance vid
We will have a unboxing shortly!
Im surprised the Fluid Mosquito isn’t on here
It’s a ultraportable great for sure!
Are y’all going to review the Gotrax g6 I want to get one but need a review first
Yes should be in the near future! -Vosk
I'm new but I am also a bicycle commuter. I find because I move my body much less on the e-scooter it's easier to wear more gear. I got a full face (chinbar) Mountain bike helmet from a bike shop and some knee/elbow pads and wrist guards from Amazon. I also got a mirror for the scooter to be more aware of cars around me. I commute on a busy road with a painted bike lane.
Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Hi, I'm really interested in the kqi 2 pro, but I'm concerned about the app: how does it exactly work? do I have to keep it open with internet access in order to be able to drive the scooter at 25 kph or is it just an activation thing?
It’s very simple just download the app! It’s step by step tutorial. -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what I meant is, if I want to drive at 25 kph, do I have to keep a phone with the app?
Please can you make reviews for
X track thunder
X track thunder pro
We have not heard of that brand!
I haven't heard of this brands before. I guess they are big in China...
They are all global brands! -Vosk
What do you guys think about the gotrax g 3 plus vs all the other most affordable?
We will be reviewing a lot of gotrax in the near future! -Vosk
I love your videos. World you consider the KS4 by Hiboy long pole? I have such short arms and tall
Good question. We have one here but haven’t fully tested it, which means I haven’t measured the bar height. I tried to look up specs just now but didn’t see them listed. The Turbo Ant X7 Max has exceptionally tall handlebars and is similarly priced. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide oh wow that option is really sick. Appreciate the insight! I think I'll go with that one to start my Scooter journey lol Thanks a lot
Wonder how the update of the G30 fits in the bunch now (G65 suspension).
We have not tested that one yet! -Vosk
I’m only 5”2.. which would you recommend ?
What is your budget and range needs?
Thanks 😊 paul…
Thank you! -Paul
Yal should try isinwheel very good company I have the isinwheel s9max best budget scooter trust me 💯
We will take a look! Thank You. -Vosk
The Niu KQi3 Max was 799 last time I checked.
Prices changes periodically! -Vosk
Could you do a review on Isinwheel R 800W!
Not in the current plans unfortunately! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I see! But can you say if it is a good buy? It claims to be 45 Km/h
The Uscooter may be the performance bargain of the year , 30mph for $1000 is pretty good!
It’s a great bargain for sure! -Vosk
Returned my Uscooter ETwow GT-SE just 2 weeks ago. I was not happy for the small handlebars and narrow deck width. They could have made the handlebars a couple inches wider *because they fold* - though the bars rattle a lot. I also hope they invent better solid tires and would consider getting another one in the future.
which is the best scooter is terms of reliability?
They are all reliable but minor repairs will need to be done! -Vosk
So I thank you again for your expertise in scooters!
Our pleasure! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
Thank you
Thanks for watching! -Vosk
what about Mi Electric Scooter 3?
We have not tested that one yet! -Vosk
Ilove scooter,very easy use
Yep! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Do vsett scooters from revrides
We should be doing that shortly! -Vosk
very informative thanks!
Thanks so much! -Vosk
Nice
Thanks so much! -Vosk
I got the kqi3 max a few weeks ago, it’s my second after the unagi and I love it
Nice! What do you think of the brakes? Strong right? Did that take any getting used to? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I often stay at max speed so being able to stop at a moment’s notice is great and it took a little getting used to but nothing crazy.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Replaced a ET Wow GT-SE with a Niu Kqi3 Max and exchanging due to a bad front brake. Scraping sound like wheel or rotor is not mounted/balanced properly so the brake pads make contact with a rhythmic sound at low speeds. But at high speed is sounds like metal on metal similar to a train making an emergency stop. Thankfully, seller says they'll exchange since less than 30 days, otherwise it would be off to Niu leaving us with a sad Christmas 😭😭😭
It's funny though, I just watched your video "Top 7 Riding Mistakes New Scooter Riders Make & How to Avoid Them" where 1, is having the feet side by side, yet... here you recommend Taur, who has exactly that... hmm
It’s much more spread apart on the taur scooter! Also requires a big learning curve. -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide What is more spread apart? your legs? barely.. and you still can't take off and have a good & balanced stance in that way, in comparison to what you said.
