Hi dear friend. Very well done review. No matter how many reviews are in Spanish language, yours is very well depicted. My Thunder is about to come in a matter of two to three days, so I wanted to check as many reviews as posssible. Once again, yours is among the top!!! I hope you are still enjoying a lot everyday from your Thunder. Best regards from Lanzarote, SPAIN.
I bought a dualtron 2 limited from EWheels. I live in NYC and I cut my travel from from 45-1hr Down to 25 mins!!! These bad boys are NO JOKE. Be safe , probably catch you riding around NYC 💪🏼😎
Great video. Not only do we appreciate a thorough unboxing in English, but also no shitty dub step background music mixed in at a volume that doesn’t match the speaker's volume so you’re constantly jockeying the TV volume up or down to hear, or amateur special effects like star wipes or whatever other hackneyed special effects the video maker's 99¢ editing app offers.
Thanks for the video, for the nut covers someone else advised that you put some silicone in the nut cover and then put them on, this will stop you losing them with riding.
Hello, may I ask you what kind of helmet do you use when you ride the thunder? I have the eagle and looking for a full face and debating between the dirt bike style or the more heavy one for motorcycle. What’s your opinion?
Great question. For leisurely rides I wear a Pro Tec certified skateboard helmet. For longer rides or ones where I know I am going to be traveling fast (>30mph) I bought the TSG Pass Pro full face helmet. I won't lie I hate wearing the full face helmet but I do it on long or fast rides in the city.
Bruce Scheffel thank you. Yeah I’m looking at the TSG pass pro one, why do you hate it? Is a mountain full face bike good enough for the dualtron you think?
No retail stores in NYC have the Thunder (or any Dualtron for that matter). Service is another sore point as I believe you would need to send to the West Coast service center should it need repair. That said, alot of the repairs (controller swap, hub motor replacement, tire replacement, switch replacement, brake pad replacement, etc.) are things that you can do yourself if you are a little fearless and can follow instructions/ UA-cam videos. I wouldn't let that deter you from buying one - it is a fabulous well built scooter.
This model is just a years old so it wouldn't be time yet for anyone to replace their battery. That said it will be interesting to see over the years if MiniMotors offers a replacement battery.
not intentionally. the components seems pretty well sealed so if I got caught in rain I wouldn't worry too much but certainly not going to ride for long in rain. 50% worry over damage, 50% it's just unpleasant.
The law hasn’t kept up with technology and in all states that I know of electric scooters don’t require license or registration or insurance. They also aren’t legally allowed on street like a moped or Vespa type scooter. The Thunder has as much power as a gas powered moped/scooter but isn’t subjected to same regulations (or privileges)
It's pretty new and a replacement for Dualtron 2. It's all about what you are looking for. I own three scooters (Thunder, Joyor F7, and UScooters Booster V) and they each fill a need. I would not recommend the Eagle Pro if you need to lift and carry the scooter up flights of stairs. It weighs over 60lbs. The practical weight to lift and carry is about 40lbs - both my UScooters and Joyor can be folded and carried into work - the Usccoter as 23lbs easily and the Joyor at 40lbs not easily but doable. No way with the Thunder - the Thunder is my long distance cruiser. I actually did not buy the Thunder for the power/speed, I bought it for the range so I can take 40 mile round trips comfortably. To me, once you get over 40lbs and know it isn't going to be carried around get the most scooter you can afford.
Bruce Scheffel thank you. Yeah I bought few month ago the speedway Leger but I realized that I want something stronger and faster so I sold it and got the eagle just now, will arrive in about 2 weeks. I live in an elevator building so it’s no a problem. I was just debating between the eagle pro vs the kaboo mantis pro. I heard the eagle is a bit better so I went with the eagle
@@allongold I'm conflicted in getting the storm or a cheapo scooter just to commute to work. I don't have plans on doing long distance cruising (yet) but I also want to go up inclines/hills without much problems. I may just get a uscooter for work and the storm for cruising around town later.
Jess A. Definately go with the new dualtron storm or something similar. I bought the speedway Leger back in February and ended up selling it and got the dualtron eagle. I don’t commute to work with the scooter since I don’t need but I use it to go to Brooklyn from Manhattan and just doing errands around the city which I can take it into supermarket and shops. Not sure how big is the storm but it’s 100lb and it’s probably going to be too big for supermarkets etc
Hi, I just got my Dualtron Thunder and right out of the box there’s wobble on the stem, is it the same thing with you when you got yours? Thank you for replying.
Unless you tighten the ring very tight there is a little wobble in the stem - it doesn't bother me at all and I don't even notice it. On the new Thunder replacement scooter - "Storm" there are now 2 rings.
I bought mine from minimotorsusa.com there is also a new mini motors nyc and eWheels also sells. Those would be your three options in the USA that I know of.
Is this Bill? I just ordered the Thunder because of your post on Instagram. So damn excited! I appreciate the video. ALSO!! Where can I get that fierce clock????
Nope, we never met. I started following Chris on Instagram because of his posts with Milo (I'm a huge dog lover) and then followed you when i noticed a post on his account about the Dualtron Thunder. A scooter I've wanted to buy for a while now. I don't go by Hamburgerbetty on Instagram. My name is name is Mark Caputo @markcaputo on instagram. @@dualtronthundernyc6503
It's got scary power. With the battery saver turned off it's almost got too much power - it will accelerate so fast you will get scared. I leave the power saver turned on and the there is also a setting for fast start on a scale of 1-5.
Matt Locascio I have a dualtron limited and travel 8 miles there and 8 back ...I still have battery left over. Technically speaking better than a car! In a city like NYC !
The 4 rubbers you placed on the wrong spot. They belong on the hub motor nuts. Im also a Dualtron Thunder owner from Brooklyn New York. IG: @RINGOTVRAW
Dualaped all day! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol... Where in Bk or anywhere North of Newark to Westchester ot to Suffolk Co can I buy and get this thing serviced?
Congrats on this amazing Monster Scooter, the Dualtron Thunder was the scooter I was looking to buy when I was looking for an Electric Scooter but the price was too much for me, the fact that it reaches 50 Mph is unbelievable, truly a masterpiece.. well I ended up getting me a Qiewa QPower it tops out at 42 Mph "GPS veryified" I love it 🙂 and for $1600, I am truly satisfied 🙂
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way There is no way you are carrying this thing up a flight of stairs. It's nearly 100 pounds and awkward to lift.
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way If you look at my other video where I installed the tow handle - I could barely lift and tow it on level ground due to the weight - it isn't practical for stairs.
Yes there is a remote for the LED lights on the stem. There is also a manual button on the side of scooter that can be used to turn all lights (including the headlights/rear lights) on/off. The remote has to be used to change the LED colors on the stem. The blue mood light on the bottom of the scooter can't change color - it is always blue.
Cool. Cover is to waterproof switch. Don't remove.mine should be coming soon. I also ordered from minimotors. Ewheels offered free fast charger and fingerprint sensor. But to me it seemed like I get better customer service from Minimotors. (No real proof just a guess.)
Yes I figured out the power switch cover isn't supposed to be removed :). Yup I agree - the guys at minimotorsusa seems like they would be responsive to any issues that come. Thinking of ordering an extra tire and rim from them for the inevitable tire change.
satur9satur9 I ordered my Spider from eWheels and they have given me the best service I have ever received. Jason at eWheels has got back to me late evening on the weekend. When I ordered my Spider there was no offer of a free fast charger and fingerprint reader, but he sent it to me anyway. Also they offer a full 1 year warranty. Win win I would say.
@@ricemanhau yes ewheels customer service is second to none. And Jason is the best. I have purchased two scooters from them. A Speedway 4 not the Mini about 6 months ago and a dualtron Ultra about a month ago. When my ultra arrived it came off the FedEx truck upside down and the box was barely taped with Scotch tape. From all the siding around the original packing tape had worn off. FedEx simply flipped it over and put a couple pieces of Scotch tape on it. Luckily no parts were missing and no damage done to the scooter. It did come with the off-road tires which I didn't want. When I emailed Jason about how it arrived and having off-road tires he immediately ship me out a set of street tires , extra tubes and a seat for the inconvenience. I told him I appreciated the seat but I would never use it on my ultra I don't like riding with one. I asked him if they sell a base plate for the speedway 4 for my daughter. He said he wouldn't sell me one but he would give me one instead which he did! Now you tell me what company has customer service like that?
@@ricemanhau yeah Jason is a man of his word. And I told him that I would let everybody know that I interact with on UA-cam how great their company is. We emailed back and forth about how to get his company name out there better. He had stickers made up which he sent me a couple last week. I put them on my helmet which is matte black and it looks pretty sweet and also promotes E Wheels. I told him he should get some shirts made up with the logo on the front. preferably long sleeve hi viz green which I normally wear especially during the day. I told him when I'm riding I'm normally wearing my Pelagic Dorado SPF 50 long sleeve Tech shirt with hoodie and face mask( which is made for Fishing). I normally have my Bluetooth headphones in which you can't see when I'm riding. A lot of people are trying to ask me when I'm on it at a red light, stop sign ect. Where I got it from but it's hard to communicate with them. I told him it would be nice to have a shirt that I would actually wear riding so when that happens I can point at the logo on the front the shirt. I told him it makes good business sense for the money and he agreed with me. Hopefully they'll get some made up and ship them out to the people that bought EUCs and scooters from them.
wow, 4 g's...damn...well i just bought my first e scooter..called ks n1d..wish me luck...can not even dream about spending that much dough on scooter...

I order my thunder yesterday cant wait to ride. Nice video
Are there any brick & mortar locations in NYC to see, test ride, or buy MiniMotors' Dualtron scooters? Where do you guys go for service?

Awesome! Are the batteries for these easy to get a hold of, and if so where do you purchase it from?
This model is just a years old so it wouldn't be time yet for anyone to replace their battery. That said it will be interesting to see over the years if MiniMotors offers a replacement battery.
Do you ride it in the rain? Beautiful scooter btw.
not intentionally. the components seems pretty well sealed so if I got caught in rain I wouldn't worry too much but certainly not going to ride for long in rain. 50% worry over damage, 50% it's just unpleasant.
Bruce Scheffel yeah for sure. But I guess riding on wet roads after rain has stopped would be ok
Erasers on the bolts, it is better to put on the sealant! From the vibration they fall on the go! Checked!
I saw one of these at SF and it is Huge!
Can you turn off the mood lights and just use the front and rear brakes?
yes
Hi just a quick question do you need some kind off insurance or lice plates do ride a dualtron?
The law hasn’t kept up with technology and in all states that I know of electric scooters don’t require license or registration or insurance. They also aren’t legally allowed on street like a moped or Vespa type scooter. The Thunder has as much power as a gas powered moped/scooter but isn’t subjected to same regulations (or privileges)

good idea for this video, hope you make more
Where's the best place to buy a Dualtron Thunder?
I bought mine from minimotorsusa.com there is also a new mini motors nyc and eWheels also sells. Those would be your three options in the USA that I know of.

Hey do you get pulled over here in NYC...I want to get one but am concerned about the cops
I have never had any issues. If you wear a helmet, stay in the bike lane and ride responsibly no one will bother you.
is it better than a car? i dont have a long commute, maybe 10 total miles
10 miles for the Thunder is easy - unless it rains.
Matt Locascio I have a dualtron limited and travel 8 miles there and 8 back ...I still have battery left over. Technically speaking better than a car! In a city like NYC !
Can the Dualtron Thunder be used and re-charged in europe ?
Of course - many in Europe have the Dualtron Thunder. Based on the content on the web they appear to be especially popular in France.
The 4 rubbers you placed on the wrong spot. They belong on the hub motor nuts. Im also a Dualtron Thunder owner from Brooklyn New York. IG: @RINGOTVRAW
I ordered four extra so now I have nut covers on all 8 - but you are correct they fit better on the hub motor nuts.
Dualaped all day! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol... Where in Bk or anywhere North of Newark to Westchester ot to Suffolk Co can I buy and get this thing serviced?
Do you still use it?
of course!
Its says its limit it to 15mph.
How do you get that out or can you adjust it?
There is a video on youtube on disconnecting the limiting wires
