😢😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😮
I've been on Inmotion website and can't seem to find any mention of 'RS Midnight' other than the Voro Motors site. Why is this? And how many versions of this scooter has there been?
FYI, the RGMIDNIGHT code only offers $300 off for the midnight model.
@@db2113 yes i am seeing the same thing
I have an InMotion HIllClimber - their build quality and throttle control are next level. For myself - going more than 23 mph is too harrowing. As it is I equip myself with an airbag vest, knee and elbow protection, steel toed shoes and full helmet. To many experiences with loopy pedestrians and rental scooter mayhem.
Im the 23rd person to like this video 😎
Im so glad you were able to do the Lite model as well. The results of the speeds were spot on with the Lite doing its Advertised speeds. Not a lot of scooters can do that,
I was able to get 60 miles of range on my RS in Eco mode from 100% battery to 10% i then did another range test Off camera in Drive mode which is Gear 2 and at traffic speeds of 25Mph to 38Mph i got an impressive 36 miles of range in the same 100% to 10% battery. This is truly an incredible scooter. The best part is that as a heavy rider at 285Lbs i consider this scooter to be BIG DAWG Certified for every day commuting. This is a great review Paul. 😎👊
Thanks very much! Appreciate it.
Just placed my order! Thanks for the great review.
Hope you enjoy it!
You rode motorcyles? Sport bikes? Me too. Palomar mountain. Where's those gloves bruh? I use Alpine Stars gear. Glove up Bruh.
i hear you. I wear Held Phantom II’s daily ($$$), but both those and my cheapie spare gloves were at home (other side of the Bay Bridge) when it was time to film this, so it was either delay the video by a day or just ride anyway. I really really don’t like riding without gloves. Thanks for looking out. Hands almost always hit the ground first! -Paul
I should see my Orange RS Lite in the next few days....Thanks for the review ESG !!
Awesome review! Thank you 🙏🏾
My pleasure!
Wow I’ve been waiting for someone to make this exact video I couldn’t believe it when I seen the tittle 😂 thanks man now I know what I’m buying
Awesome! Check out the link in description for best prices and coupon codes!
Nice!
This is the best looking scooter I think on the market. Sporty
It really is!
Great video! Loved the ride through the hills and the commentary. This scooter looks like it rides like a motorcycle. The twist throttle is tough when off road riding.
Thanks so much! -Paul
*_This is probably the first thing I'd buy when I win the lottery. Just wow at the power and the rest of the specs of these duo._*
So where did you have that insta 360 mounted!? Great video!
Thanks so much! I have a big goofy looking belt that can rotate forward, back or sideways. The rear shot it’s sort of tucked under my backpack. They make a backpack mount too (which I have), but I like that I can just grab this one and rotate it around my body between shots (and occasionally while riding). -Paul
I love my RS! I pre ordered mine way back last July and got one of the first 60 in the USA. Im putting Nami burn e 2 max shocks on mine today actually since its raining out. Hoping it makes the ride even better!
You're going to love it! I ran NAMI shocks on the yellow RS when I raced at RiderFest last fall. They're still on there! I need to put them back on the NAMI because we can't even roll it around in our workspace right now with no shocks on it! -Paul
Hey could you review the Gotrax GX Zero ares model? If you haven’t or if you have please tell me! I’m looking to buy it or by the emove touring but can’t find any reviews for the Gotrax model I’d want.
We will take a look thank you!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks!!!!!
Would you recommend this for commuting in Chicago? Like during winter as well?
If you got the space it’s a great choice!
Thank you. ❤️
Just used your discount code purchasing the RS midnight. Saved me $300! I can’t thank you enough! God bless you and keep rolling out the great videos.✝️❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
Been waiting for the review of the Lite version.Seems like it is a very nice scooter for the money.I am pretty strong but this would be to heavy to transport but I may still consider and just cruise it from my garage locally which you showed some damn good range.I have a small condo and want something to take down there.I am looking at the Roadrunner RS5 max which EVS just did a vid on.
Yes we did a review on RS5 max and it’s very solid for sure! You can use code RG50 for $50 off! geni.us/RS5MAX
Is this the same scooter they call haze blue on their website? It says nun about a lite version so I’m confused thought it was the rs in blue ?
Not sure!
Another great review Paul. 11:17... was that a Bay Area Brush tailed rat that I saw scurry into the street gutter under the vehicle behind you???
Ha ha! I missed that. Yes! Some sort of squirrel. -Paul
Thanks guys so much for this! How’s the locking/folding mechanism? That’s my only deciding factor 😅
Once it’s set there are no issues!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide is it sturdy enough?
I can’t believe you’re posting this video right now. After a week of intense research, I’ve narrowed down to three scooters. The GT two, the RS and the RS light. Not a coincidence!
Nice! I was excited to get this one published! So glad it helped! -Paul
same here but i think i'm going with custom scooter
I just purchased the gt2 two weeks ago. But this one looks awesome
Wow!!! Mad Max Meet Mad Paul. That was insane. Thanks for another great one.
Thank you so much John! -Paul
Always some scenic rides around the Bay Area - you guys should publish some route guide!
Thanks so much! I don't think of myself of an expert, but I guess years of being a Bay Area motorcycle rider have helped me find some of the good ones! I actually got a little lost on this one. I was looking for the Berkeley "wall" which is a motorcycle hangout... but it turns out not to be easy to google! -Paul
Would you recommend the Burn E2 or this scooter? Same goes for the Max and RS
It depends. The Burn-E2 is slightly more portable because it has better handholds. I like the throttle response on the NAMI better. I think the RS is better looking and has better brakes. The RS is also more flexible in terms of easy customization for height.
Same would go for Max vs RS.
It’s really a tough call. They’re both amazing scooters
-Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you Paul! Excellent video nonetheless!
I heard the midnight might not be as quick as the yellow model. Have you heard this? Maybe a bad batch of midnights?
Interesting. We did clock a slightly faster 2-direction speed run in the same spot with the same rider on the yellow one, but I attributed the difference to the windy day.
Doing 2-direction runs like we do, will correct for headwinds and tailwinds of up to 5mph or so, but it was beyond 5mph that day. -Paul (oops! Wrong login! It’s Paul from ESG)
What is the break pads part number or style needed for an Inmotion RS Scooter? I need to replace my front and back disk brake pads and can’t for the life of me locate this information?
Email voromotors CS and they will assist you!
Thanks for your explanation and your review of these 2 e-scooters🙏. They look very similar.
I was quite confused about what is the difference between Inmotion RS Midnight Lite and RS Midnight.
Anytime
If you had to choose between the rs or the nami burn which one would you choose
Both are excellent options!
wow you make great videos!! new subscriber
Thanks so much for your support! -Paul
That RS is a nice scooter. I'm interested to see what they do with the 2nd gen.
I'm just glad they came out with a black one. I like the look of this one a lot more. I'm really impressed that Inmotion came out with such a good dual motor scooter on their first try! -Paul
Good morning
This video is absolutely perfect.
The thing that I appreciate the most is your max speed test, which is done downhill (light) but also uphill, in order to get a clear idea of the machine.
Do you think you can make a comparison identical to this one, between the rs lite and the nanrobot ls7+, but at 60v...
You will ask me why compare a 60v and a 72v
Simply because it seems to have the same top speed and in order to analyze the usefulness of taking a 72v or not.
Excuse me for my English, but I am French and I use the translator
This speed run spot is very close to flat in both directions, but the wind was causing the big difference on this day. I don’t think we have a Nanrobot coming unfortunately. We should really get an LS7+ because so many people have tested it, but none have done a 2 direction run. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
Thank you for your prompt response .
I must have been deceived by the position of the camera.
Yes it would be good to be able to test the ls7+ 🙏... several tests at home seem conclusive.
But the 72v model seems to be very disappointing, from the few videos that I have seen.... I am also wondering, if there is not a little lie, in the technical sheet.🤔
Can you please compare the RS Midnight lite to the Kaabo Mantis King GT? Thank you so much!
Oooh, that’s a good one!
They’re very different. The tested weights at 74lbs for the Mantis and 120 for the Midnight Lite.
The Ranges are 36.6 for the mantis vs 45.1 for the Lite
Top speeds are close at 45.1 mantis vs 53.6 Lite
Prices are very different at about $2,100 Mantis and $3k Lite.
Riding-wise they’re very different too. The Mantis is 60V vs 72, so it’s veryquick, but not the same with a zero to 30 of 5.8s vs 4.5
The Mantis has huge advantages in terms of portability. One person can haul it upstairs. The RS has huge advantages for performance. Right out of the box the mantis is going to be better off-road. -Paul
apples to oranges i own a mantis king gt. have a little over 550miles on it so far. no issues. rides great and is quick, great for street or off road however as paul said definitely different category of scooter, love mine. but if you dont care about going off road a whole lot, weight or if price isnt a issue id go for the rs lite. myself im planning on my mantis king still being my main scooter which can fit in my suv easily vs the rs which i plan on leaving in my garage and not taking it anywhere.
Been waiting for this video thank you this might be my next one 🛴
Thanks so much for your support! -Paul
Do you crouch during the speed test to reduce air resistance?
Yes. It makes a noticeable difference. I raced motorcycles for 5.5 seasons, so become a reflex. It’s hard for me *not* to do at speed. :-) -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide C`est la bonne position, c`est d`ailleurs celle pratiquée en compétition 🙂
How is the insta pole attached for the rear shots?
I'm wearing this huge belt that has the pole attached to it. It's jammed just under my backpack. I shot the speedrun by myself, so I had a ridiculous amount of gear with/on me! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide looked great.
How is it at night, any lights, besides the basics?
Bright headlight, but I think that’s about it. I don’t think it has any swag lights. It has turn signals up high by the grips facing forward and in the deck facing backward. -Paul
Does the fault indicater supposed to come on while pressing the breaks?
Yes!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks. I got a lil worried something was wrong with mine
Can you mellow this thing out on the bottom end . So its a little more beginner friendly .
Yes, you can adjust the launch intensity separately for front and rear wheels and then can also select which mode and whether you want single or dual motors active. -Paul
Amazing video, thank you
Thank you! -Paul
Fun review : )
Thanks very much!
Wow, I've been waiting for someone to review the Inmotion RS Midnight Lite! Thanks so much. For the price, this looks like the best electric scooter of 2024. How would you compare the value to the Kaabo Wolf King GTR.
It depends on your need for speed and range. If 50 is fast enough for you (it is for me), I think the Inmotion RS Midnight Lite is an amazing deal. The Wolf King electric scooters and the Wolf King GTR in particular are all amazing top speed per dollar, but I feel like the performance per dollar of the RS Midnight Lite might be even better, just considering that you still get 100% of the build quality of the full version.
Do you have a scooter right now?
-Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks for the detailed response! I started off with a Xiami m365, but quickly moved on to a Segway ES4, then a Boosted Rev, I feel like I've had one of everything. I even had a Dualtron Thunder before picking up my Kaabo Wolf King. But I'm really thinking the Inmotion RS Midnight Lite might be my next scooter.
That's an amazing list of scooters, going from a Xiaomi m365 to a Kaabo Wolf King! Enjoy whatever electric scooter you choose next! -Paul from Electric Scooter Guide
damn, i would never ride a scooter at 60 mph
Me neither... but someone has to figure out how fast they go. There's a scene I shot that didn't make it into the speed run where I was going to talk about this exact subject! :-) -Paul
you should. it's fun. Like a motorcycle only standing.
@@cocoabiscuitsI agree it's something I would never do commuting but the adrenaline rush you get when you going that speed is an unreal experience so it's something everyone who owns a hyper scooter should at least try once
@@cocoabiscuits its diffrent going on a motorcycle, you feel more safe
@@unboxtheworld5869 absolutely. I love having the ability to do that on my Nami Max but I also love just cruising in Eco mode doing 20mph or so too. It's my first PEV and it takes me by surprise knowing it can just pull ya in the top modes like that.
New camera? Footage looks great.
Thanks so much! The FPV camera is new. It's a DJI Action Cam 4. The 360 camera is the same one, I'm just getting better at using it. It's crazy how much footage we end up with now. We're shooting a lot more of the stuff live and a lot more outdoors. -Paul
does this have regen braking ?
Yes. The app lets you adjust how much regen separately for front and rear. I went by that part fairly quickly in the video during the set-up, or maybe the specs section. -Paul
Paul riding that RS at Maximum warp!
I kept waiting for you to say "I'm giving her all she's got captain!"
Great idea for next time! :-) -Paul
Was waiting to see the Lite in action! 🔥
Us too! I was surprised when I was researching for this review, that no one had done the Inmotion RS Midnight Lite yet! -Paul
What's the difference between the first rs and the midnight? Other than colour.
It’s just supposed to be he color, but some people report that they yellow ones are slightly faster. In our tests this was true, but I attributed it to the strong wind that day. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I've been doing a fair bit of research on this scooter and am confused:
-it seems only Voro Motors USA sell the midnight editions?
-the Inmotion Euro website has the yellow available (which they call orange?) and a casper blue but no Lite model
-the inmotion USA site only has the yellow version
-the inmotion world store website, has the RS in yellow and a haze blue and also the Lite in a genuine orange, unlike the Euro site and it looks awesome.
I'm in Australia and your link above takes me to an Australian retailer but the discount code doesn't work and the Lite isn't available down under (can't even find it on AliBaba or Aliexpress). I'm trying to get it shipped over from the Inmotion main website but I'm pretty sure they don't deliver directly to Australia.
Voro Motors USA, can deliver but they have severely inflated the price of the Lite in AUD, making it financially unviable. For less money I could buy the regular RS directly from the few Australian retailers available.
Looking at all the different Inmotion sites, it seems to me that there are differences in the scooters particularly with the screen, which is why I asked my original question about differences with the newest releases over the original release.
Thoughts?
I really want to try one of these Inmotion RS scooters. They look cool.
Hopefully you can!
I really like the price to performance ratio compared to the standard Midnight. I'm thinking competition wise, Kaabo, Nami, Apollo, Solar, and Segway, hmmm...
Thus is a solid option for sure!
What's that phone mount called?
You know, I think it's the one from Apollo! I'll get a link for you. -Paul
Here you go!
geni.us/ApolloPhoneMount
I'm picking the Lite. First the price, 2nd I'm lightweight so just for that speed I'll be going fast lol
Idk if I should buy this RS light or the more powerful one lol. Its gonna pull me like nothing i weigh only 154 lbs but anyways im recieving new scooter tomorrow its a 72volt beast yay!
Both are solid options for sure!
Thanks, everyone for your support!
My god zoom zoom I don't know if I would be able to hold on to that acceleration.
It’s a lot! -Paul
ESG can you test the Hiley Scooter Series? Especially the Tiger 8 GTR
Hopefully in the future!
Shit bro that's way too fast for me on either scooter..but i did enjoy watching and learning about the 2 scooters tho 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just bought the midnight lite👍
Nice! Let us know how you like it!
-Paul
a rs lite would look great next to my mantis king gt
For sure. The Mantis King GT is such a great scooter! -Paul
@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide for sure however its range is very limited when going 40+mph. ive managed to only get about 12 miles going over 40 before it drops into the 30s at full throttle. hope rs lite with its huge batter and higher top speed means i should be able to get 30 miles at over 40mph which would be fantastic.
This scooter seems like picking smaller engine version of a car when buying at dealership. And thanks for including KM beside of miles when showing ranges. Just it would be nice if you do the same about adding conversations to kilos and other units of measurement. And a great video and also scooter does looks like great option for grand less.
And I have question to for you. I was interested into upgrading from varla pegasus with solid tires to something better. And my requirements are to have turning lights on back and front of scooter, because I ride exclusively on roads and I often have a bag hanging on steering that is blocking my legs from completely free movement, and I don’t feel like other drivers will get the idea of waving legs as turn signaling. And second thing is I want to have removable battery to swap it on the go when I bought another one. I don’t have top limit and would like to see what is out there, because scooters that have turning signals are some under grand ones, and they are definitely not what I’m looking for. Any suggestions? I would be grateful for an answer.
And I got idea for a video. How about you would check some older scooters and see how they’re holding up. And maybe you could buy it from facebook marketplace or other second hand selling places. I think that would be rather informative and interesting how they hold up. You could do it at different price reneges and maybe throw in some old kings like m365 and others? How does it sound? Keep what you’re all doing in ESG and thanks for reviewing scooters for this all time.
That's a great idea. We could trade our low mile scooters for high mile scooters and evaluate the high mile ones!
The RS5 sounds like the closest scooter to what you're describing above. I think it would feel like a big step up from the Pegasus! -Paul
geni.us/RS5MAX?track=ytr
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks for the answers! And I checked RS5 MAX and it does might be up to the job, but I can't find any informations about turning signals beside of it haves them. So are they only on back, front or on both ends? Is it visible? How does situation looks with it?
i would check out ausom gallop its basically a slightly older version of the rs5 but rebranded. its much cheaper at 1299 and you can find on sale for 1099 sometimes. swappable battery, top speed 37-40mph, turn signals dual motors, same screen and 10 inch tires.
I got s1f coming and i own air pro form theses guys and u want a sagaway for better price get inmotion did not like s1 speed.
That top speed is scary, even on smooth roads.
Scares me every time, on every scooter. I don't recommend testing top speed on fast scooters! It's the only way to really find out how fast they go, unfortunately! -Paul
I love the channel. But I don't know why anyone would want to go this fast on a scooter. 55mph on a moped is sketchy. Wow. This is wild to me lol.
I wish there was a way to find out how fast they are without doing speed runs! It's not my favorite thing to do! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I bet! Lol.
💯‼️💙
Nice
Thanks
Niicceee!!!
Thanks! -Paul
Nami Burn e 2 max is the same speed as inmotion RS.
Both great scooters for sure!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide absolutely!! I'm excited to see what more InMotion offers in the scooter world.
11:17 Squirrel
👀
I really want a powerful dual motor long range folding ebike. I've never seen one yet.
Hopefully soon!
Where is rs mini?
RS lite is a smaller version!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yep and I'm waiting for it when it will be released/reviewed? I don't need this crazy weight scooter.. but I like it technology! So I just need something ~30-32kg max weight!
This is my brother is this video nami vs rs
Awesome! Paul is the best.
120 lbs... That's about the same weight as me !
Nice!
I wish I had a midnight light
Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate your support! -Paul
That stem lock is the only reason I’d never buy that scooter.
Fair enough
Tbh I’m not surprised you’re not giving that stem lock any criticism, even you should know that’s that’s a bad design. How many times do you think you’d have to lower that stem before the screw lock fails? This channel really lacks any real deep dive into issues.
@@skampster "This channel really lacks any real deep dive into issues." Of course they don't, it's all sponsored videos. Not a single 'review' on this channel is genuine.
@@user-bp5py6bh3g yeah I know, that’s the polite point I was trying to make.
58 mph max on the Lite? I'll wait for the RS Anorexic.
lol
Who pay's 4k for a scooter 🙅
Many many people!
SOFT .
The scooter, the review, or the presenter? -Paul
4k, 60 miles per hour... Just buy a car at this point
You def can!
You have to keep in mind that these are two kinds of vehicles, totally different in their use. With a car you will never go where an E-scooter goes, apart from the tires and brakes purge from time to time, my full protection equipment, my E scooter cost only a few bucks a month for maintenance and recharging batteries so a lot of savings compare to what a car cost. Since I have mine my car and my motorcycle do sleep quite often in the garage. Having a powerful E-scooter allows you quite easily to ride in a group like the road trips made by bikers. This new way of personal trip is a true philosophy of life to share or not, you also can put it on the train, to go wherever you want, find local riders who will make you discover their region, doing this by car would be much more complicated and would require a much more restrictive organisation as you can imagine, I’m 65 years old and thanks to it I discover places in my region I did not even suspect existence thanks to applications dedicated to this type of electric engines that offer sites to discover in a fun way, in silence, without polluting and keep you in a good shape because doing off roads may, sometimes ,be really physically hard, So yes, it is expensive to purchase, but if you can afford it, it does not have to hesitate a second because the sensations of driving are unique. 😊 I hope that you will understand my English. From Paris, France,have a good one. Arnaud
