  • Hey folks, in the past year, I've had the pleasure of testing out numerous electric scooters, especially focusing on models suitable for larger individuals like myself (I'm 6 feet tall and 265 lbs). If you're concerned about hill climbing, top speed, and battery performance in colder weather, you're in the right place!
    Here are my top picks:
    Teverun Fighter Supreme : The most powerful scooter I've tried with an 8,000 Watts dual motor, hitting speeds of 100 km/h, and boasting 11-inch wide self-healing tubeless tires.

    I bought the Apollo 2023 dual motor a few months ago on Tim's recommendation. Already have 2200KMs on it! It's amazing. Super smooth as well as powerful, and Tim is so right about the regen brakes. They're awesome! I almost never use the regular brakes. Thanks for all of your videos Tim, I never miss them. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year. Cheers, Andy

    Hi, Phantom Question please…. I'm 6’4” at 275lbs. I am considering the Apollo Phantom V4 as the handlebar height and angle seems to fit the XXL's a bit better than many. I am concerned a bit with two things. The IP54 (not 66) as we do get good rain at times, and the tubed tires. Has you door dash friend in Victoria had any pinch flats or issues with water, as Victoria gets some decent rainfall also? I appreciate your videos. Be well.

    • @TimsElectric
      @TimsElectric  2 місяці тому

      Awesome questions @toddm3182, Love love the Phantom. Zero issues with the deliveries (1000kms and climbing) I was on it last week...so smoooooth :)
      No issues with flat tires...I hit 300lbs last summer (and when riding it had zero issues). Honestly my #2 scooter....I'm down to 265lbs again now but reach for the City all the time as I live in an apartment and carrying it up and down the stairs is easier for me :) But love the Phantom. I think you can get a discount if you use my link ...I'll go find it in case you buy from Apollo directly :) ...Let me know how you like it :) Cheers from a sunny day in Victoria :) Oh and no issues with the IP rating....it sure does rain a lot here in the winter :)

      @@TimsElectric yep, it had basic mtb style handlebars and i raised it a bit with a more curved handlebar.
      Im 1,97m tall and i really need the height, nearly got a Vsett11+ instead since its slighly higher handlebars.
      Which doesnt really fit my needs is speed (too much), torque (too much), and range (not enough). A stronger motor but single motor would have met my needs better, or just a slighly weaker motor/controller and more battery.
      suspension is superb, it glides like a mercedes with air suspension, it got (more than) enough power, feels great, safe and robust.
