Can A $3,800 Electric Scooter Replace My Car? - I Tried For 3 Days

No way to physically lock a $4000 scooter?? Oh Segway... 🤦

Please make a video where you travel from NYC to LA in this scooter

the world would genuinely be so much better if commuting and general transportation didn't require 2 tons of metal that gets stuck in traffic all day

I had a Toyota Hilux, it’s parked up at home or my partner uses it sometimes, but I ended up getting a Wolf King GT Pro, and trust me, every ride feels like the first one. So many benefits 😊

I like it. Took me back to the days when I used only a motorcycle instead of a car. Some of the same advantages and drawbacks. To ride in winter, you needed a snowmobile suit, and that took time to get on and off. Dress wear was limited --- you weren't wearing penny loafers at 20 degrees and 60 mph. Snow was the most challenging, mostly from car drivers. Speeding tickets were all to frequent as the bike would get you from here to there at light speed. Cops don't like light speed. I did become a legend in my motorcycling community --- "Hey, Tracy rides all year!!!" Overall, it took a lot of forethought, preparation and accepting disadvantages. Eventually, I went the lazy route and got a car, despite the drawbacks, just a lot easier and more comfortable. Did one cross-country trip on the bike --- 7000 miles in 14 days. Thanks for the nostalgia. By the way, my motorcycle cost far less than that scooter!!

Hey Mike, thanks for taking us on your ride along. It was pretty fun. I would definitely consider a scooter like this one.

I price shopped between this and the Apollo Phantom V3, but I think you did a great job laying down the perks of the light heavyweight class of scooters that are available right now. Nice vid!

A comparision between E-Scooters and E-Bikes can be a great future video, considering both can't replace cars but are great for city commute.

I bought an inmotion s1 a few months ago, and it replaced my car for all destinations not requiring the highway or the grocery store. It only tops out at 18.6 mph, but it works well enough for my needs. I typically use it to commute to work, which is around 11 miles round trip. I don't know why I didn't make this decision sooner, especially with the massive gas prices in my area. I do have to leave home earlier for work, though, which is the only downside so far.

Nice video. I missed you talking about comfort. I have a NIU KWi 3 Max, and after a few days and on long rides, like 15 minutes, the ride quality is a factor. Suspension is so important on scooters, the whole bit, tires, suspensions, arms, coils, etc. I tested drive the Inokim OXO and the Apollo Phantom. It's day and night compared to single motors, not suspension scooters. Phantom is another level.

Great video! I just ordered a Segway F2 pro as my first scooter. At 58 I'm probably a little older than the normal demographic but I recently visited my alma matter (MSU) and walked 4 miles/rented a scooter for 4 miles. I really enjoyed it and I think I can eliminate some car trips which will more than pay for the scooter while having some fun! I work for a major car company so I'll always have a car but scooters are a great last mile solution.

I'm running a VDM-10 right now (apollo ghost) with 2k watts and this is kinda my dream scooter if I ever sell my car, it seems way more durable than most scooters and the display and controls are just so much better. the VDM-10 gets me to work 18km each way though which is quite impressive, it can hit 60km/h on slight downhill and gets about the same 50mi range.

I made my own ebike cost under $1000 top speed 28 range 40 mile and it has definitely replaced my car for just nipping around in the day and that looks a great scooter but you really don't need to spend so much to enjoy scooters or ebikes really enjoyed your video mate 👍✌

for transportation, an electric bike is realistically a better option. It's safer. You can still use it when it runs out of juice. It's less tiring than a scooter in electric mode but can provide more exercise if you decide to pedal. You can carry more. Heck, you can have an attached trailer or a basket. It's easier for other vehicles to see you (you have multiple lights and reflectors in all directions).

Thx for the vid. Yes, there are plenty of options for the lock and or load touch alarms, so locking is not an issue. I use one that is more for off road, yet have summer tyres on atm, so super quiet. My horn is load, yet only works when it´s not needed! I own a car and a scooter too, yet noticed that there can be twice as many problems or events that pop up while using these, as you hop off curbs or find gravel on park path corners etc. I think that they can easily replace a car and you save so much that way, that you can afford to hire a car if you need one. Finally, they are a wonderful way to experience the world and by far the most fun I have had on two wheels.

My opinion: Scooters are nice for getting around urban areas, but there's just no way I'd spend $3800 on one.

Loved this style of video. Would really enjoy seeing more like this.

Thanks for a honest review of this scooter. Its Definitely in competing with the other beast scooters but i feel it misses the mark with things that matter to me. Im more of a RT/10 Viper guy. No frills. Just give me the power!

I like this new format, its quite fresh and not many other youtuber did this. It makes the review of the product a lot more engaging

5:05 Hey, I recognize that place on the trail! It is cool to see another person using a high performance escooter in PA, especially in the suburbs where it is definitely less practical than in the cities. I mostly use my Vsett 8 to get around in Philly (especially between Temple University and Chinatown), and I am very happy with it aside from the crazy drivers you encounter here. Philly tends to be a little nicer to use escooters since there are a decent amount of side roads along with existing bike infrastructure compared to suburban PA.
