r/ElectricScooters

i wanted to make this post to warn anyone thinking about buying a Phantom A10 from costco
I got mine as a birthday present and rode it normally around my neighborhood. No crazy jumps, no crashes, maybe a but of foot drag wheelie but thats it. After less than 2 months of ownership, the scooter literally snapped on me while riding. Im riding down a residential street going 20mph and it starts to bend slowly, and im riding back home the bar are essentially down to my knees. The build quality is honestly unacceptable. A scooter should never fail like that under semi normal riding conditions, especially when it’s marketed as a reliable sturdy electric scooter. If the frame can break that quickly, I seriously question the quality control and engineering behind this thing. The brakes were another huge issue. Even before it broke, the braking performance was terrible. Stopping distances felt way longer than they should’ve been, for almost getting hit for not being able to stop in time is a issue. For something that can reach quick speeds, its a major safety problem. What makes it even worse is seeing people online defend these scooters because theirs hasn’t broken yet. Mine was fine too until it fucking snapped. If you’re considering a Phantom A10, I’d strongly recommend looking at other options. A scooter with poor braking and a frame that can fail within a couple months isn’t something I’d trust or recommend to anyone.

My overall rating: 2**/10**

Pros:

Was fun while it lasted and thats it

Cons:

Snapped after legit less than 2 months
Poor ass build quality
Untrustworthy frame durability
Weak braking performance
Zero shock absorbing capabilities

So there are 3 main scooter i want to buy i just cant decide which one to buy

First the Ninebot g3 max (850-950€)

Second the ninebot gt3 ( 1500€)

Last the navee Ut5 max (999€)

And before saying which one to buy tell me a reason please if you have experience tell me please which one to buy and name me atleast 3 reasons why

Is there anything with a seat and basket that has Segway G2/G3 level of quality and performance?

Has anyone in this sub had an Emove Cruiser V2 for over a year and still use it? What are your thoughts? I’ve read both glowing reviews and those cursing the name. With the sheer amount of bots online I am hoping for some real feedback.

I was hoping to see some reviews from longterm (1+ years normal/heavy use) users who are still using it to this day. What do you like or dislike about it? It seems to fit all desired specs for me, a 5’2 135lb. commuter in a big city with a lot of poor infrastructure (in the US) who occasionally likes to go on joy rides. Where I like to ride and the roads/trails I use to commute have a lot of gradual inclines but nothing major (at most 8-10% grade). I currently have an Etwow GT sport but want something where I can go with the flow of traffic better when needed and get away from solid tires.

It looks pretty epic aesthetically I can’t lie but not a dual motor like the previous gen and seems to have worse specs than the Segway G3 and around 500$ more expensive even with my pre order code. It’s also a good bit heavier. I’m thinking the suspension and ride must be incredibly nice tho and it’s a little bit faster. I was expecting a little more range to be honest. Also the G3 is a 3.5 hour charge which is pretty incredible as well.

Any I missing something? What are your guys thoughts?

I recently came to the decision that I wish to get back into riding escooters after not really riding/owning one in years, my last one was in 2023 before I got rid of it for an Ebike, and then moving to Germany.

While in Germany I owned a regular push bike but I've not exactly been super satisfied with it and with my developing knee problems it's becoming harder and harder to use a regular bicycle so I've decided to sell the bike and move to getting an escooter but I can't decide on which one to get.

My decisions have so far been to get either;

Segway E3 or F3

EGRET EY!3 (local German brand)

Navee S40

All of those except the S40 I can buy locally from media markt and I'm partially leaning towards the Segway side of things because I unfortunately have terrible luck when it comes to tyre punctures (even after I take care of them the best I can) but the navee and the ERGET both have really good choices for my budget of 500€.

I really cannot decide between the three or any other choices and as well I haven't kept up all too much with escooters for years so I don't know many other good brands or choices other than those three.

Hello. I'm looking to get a 3 amp charger for my E-scooter but im not sure if the amps will work on it. It's a SENCOR X20 E-scooter. I thank anyone who has an answer!!!!!!!

I want a ev scooty for daily use. I am a college student. I want it just for travelling from home to college. Please suggest any good EVs under 65k.

Many have suggest ola s1 z, Yo drift dx, Ampere magnus. I am confused.

Some even suggested me to don't go for EVs cause they have less resale value.

What to do

Prefer size of ninebot g30L (1109 x 472 x 1146 mm). (max height tolerable: 1219 mm)

Higher power/battery the better (minimum tolerable: Max 700 W, 551Wh)

Suspension should exist (or at least be installable)

Durable gear

Any recommendation? Short-user experience is also welcome!
