My son has one. They are low and very light, perfect for smaller beginners. No good for exploring or trips because of range but perfect for commuting and shopping. His boss lets him charge it at work so minimal cost. As they are so good at slow speeds, I am using it to practise manoeuvres for my CBT. Excellent little scooter.
As usual an enjoyable informative video. A couple of points may ha been worth a mention. No clutch, no gears simply twist n go. The beeping indicators also warn a pedestrian that you are about to turn a corner he or she maybe about to cross. Not realising the silent scooter is approaching! As I mentioned in a previous reply my Ni GT is due for delivery on Tuesday. I'll never forget owning the Harley's.
hello, was wondering (if) you bought it and wat your impressions are after 10 months? Did you have any problems with it? or is it a solid good e scooter?
thanks for this - just leased one of these - my first bike - i love it ... living in london and having my girlfriend on the back my old grumble is the range ...
Thanks for the video does anyone know about how to change the throttle twist or even where I could buy the part from? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
My wife bought this bike from new but how do we change the kph to mph on the display, also it has a clock function top right again how do we set it and lastly the Bluetooth function is there a UK mobile app.... other than that we love this bike...
Press and hold button to change to miles the other button pressing and hiding will bring up the clock setting due to upload a video of this in the next few days At the moment the app is still in development
@@RevBombUK The traffic goes usually between 30-37 mph. This bike top speed is 29. Never safe if the vehicle knows barely the speed limit. If it could go 37, than I'd say it's ok. Currently it's useable in a huge city's center, where the average speed is around 20 mph.
@@csipi89 legal limit on a 50cc or equivalent is 30mph if your doing 37 in town your speeding And the petrol equivalent is 30mph as well this just gets to speed quicker
@@laytonliddell2198 all new bikes are restricted the 50cc bikes in the i80's did 50mph There restricted for a reason because most young riders think there on a racetrack
I'm thinking about getting one. But how do they fair in the rain? Do they struggle to function in/after the rain? I live in England as well, so this has to rain friendly, you know?
Looks like a modern day version of a Honda Melody or Suzuki Love that were popular for female mobile hair dressers in the 1980 ‘s .Same as all these small electric Peds handy for around the city or nipping to the local shops or supermarket .A top box would give it more physical presence & carrying capacity.for shopping or commuting to work .Lexmoto should ask the Chinese factory to knock out a three wheeler version for a mobility market ,it would be better than the 4- 8 mph pavement scoots the disabled are fobbed off with .👍
Hi Rev, can you fit a top box on the g5, if not are there any other good cheapish electric 50cc equivalent bikes you can fit a top to. Love your reviews. Katy
The yadea g5 cant be unrestricted but others can by holding the throttle open and holding the front brake and turning on the ignition for 5 seconds with the throttle open and brake held
Great review thanks! Is this definite regarding de-restricting for the Yadea G5? I saw someone on the Lexmoto Facebook page say that they did restrict theirs. Do you prefer this over the impulse or vice versa? Looking to purchase something like this.
I guess I'll never find a worthy replacement for my current electric moped. There are at least four features that most modern electric moped lacks that mina has: 1. Regenerative braking - doesn't save much battery but I love the feeling and I would definitely miss it, and it saves the environment a bit from brake dust. 2. Reverse mode - Yes, I actually need that. I park my moped in a bicycle room and it's a steep slope up to the door, and there's not much space in there, so I find it most practical to go up there in reverse). 3. My hub motor (4 kW, by the way) has a removable rim mounted on it, so with an extra rim I can easily change to my winter tyres and back every year. 4. The head lights follow when I turn left and right I could probably live without point 4, but the other three are very important to me. Any recommendations, anyone? 👍

@@RevBombUK I like scooters so no dig there, just not liking how slow it is. Looks cool though. I actually just bought a Land scrambler with the 6.4klw battery.
good job ,very helpfull thank you Sir.
Thanks for the comment
I love that you test a range of scooters and motorbikes on your channel. Good stuff!
Thanks buddy

Hi James, how has your Ni GT panned out? Many issues?
I’m getting one this weekend. Thanks
Enjoy it
Hi ToyBoy, are you happy with your New Bike? I am thinking of getting one and just doing my homework first.
hello, was wondering (if) you bought it and wat your impressions are after 10 months? Did you have any problems with it? or is it a solid good e scooter?
What a great review👏

No

Great review! What is ’impulse and the cipher’ that can be restricted?
Impulse was discontinued but the cypher is still available from lexmoto

Great, a moving obstacle.
It's pretty safe, for sure :)
It's faster than most 50cc Scooters
It's only a problem to those who think there slow or don't have any road sense
@@RevBombUK
The traffic goes usually between 30-37 mph.
This bike top speed is 29.
Never safe if the vehicle knows barely the speed limit.
If it could go 37, than I'd say it's ok.

Thanks
I have a Yadea G5 to, but i don't have the clock and range in mph/kmh. How is this possible? 😁
GREAT review :) Thank you! :) I'm choosing between G5 and NIU Nqi + sport exteded. What is your advice?
Both good bike but yadea is well known name
How big is the range difference, approx. ?@@RevBombUK
@anders.svensson not tested the nui but g5 is around 40 miles
OK - thanks@@RevBombUK
What in your opinion is a better buy for commuting, an Impulse or the G5 bearing in mind the Impulse could be derestricted?
Impulse every time lighter easier to maneuver and a lot cheaper
@@RevBombUK Thanks, I've watched your excellent reviews on both but just wanted your opinion.
I'm thinking about getting one. But how do they fair in the rain? Do they struggle to function in/after the rain? I live in England as well, so this has to rain friendly, you know?
Great interview rain Road tested today chucking it down no issues found
Are you still happy with G5? Any weak point in the long run?
Still going strong for our customer

Hi Rev, can you fit a top box on the g5, if not are there any other good cheapish electric 50cc equivalent bikes you can fit a top to. Love your reviews. Katy
At present there are no options for top boxes, Have you thought of a bikers backpack similar to a rucksack or a rear seat pillion bag
@@RevBombUK thanks Rev, I hadn't thought of those two things, sounds good. Thank you very much.
interested in one off these, does it still work well, and is it able to drive in any weather ?
Yes it's a good bike
which one is best ??? NIu NQI Sport or YAdea G5 ? . nice video ! thank you ..
Only ridden g5 but both good bikes
Love your videos! In your opinion which do you think is more worth the money, the G5 or the impulse ?
I found the impulse faster but the g5 a smoother ride
Love your reviews, what are the chances of a YADEA C1S review in the near future, it looks like a slight step up from this bike!
Soon as we get one ini will get a review up
Nick Surfer RC...I see you have one of those now....please can you let me know how you managed to derestrict it?
good ，You can try the ninebot electric motorcycle，niu Electric motorcycle
Thanks for your comment
Is the throttle variable?
Didnt do much testing on this one but its rides well, the cypher and the elex are the biggest sellers
What is top speed?
30mph
So should i buy that?
@ouuuaburger2093 up to you
i mean, you been using it yeah, can it be a subsitute for a gas bike, for like 100 travel for a day?
@ouuuaburger2093 I has a range of 40 miles get a gas bike
Is the color black matte?
Yes matte black
Hi. Do you know how to turn off the speedlimit? Thx ✌️
The yadea g5 cant be unrestricted but others can by holding the throttle open and holding the front brake and turning on the ignition for 5 seconds with the throttle open and brake held
@@RevBombUK thx. It doesn't work to turn off the speedlimit. 😒
