Electric Scooters Reviews, E-Bikes, Electric Cars and More.
My name is Tim and I love all things electric!
I live in Victoria British Columbia Canada on beautiful Vancouver Island.
My goal is to encourage people to switch to electric micro-mobility, like electric scooters and ebikes when it makes sense. Not only can it save you money but it can be an enjoyable way to get to commute, cruise, grocery runs and explore your town and city.

Is this still happening? I don't see it advertised on their website? thank you your the best.
Awesome question @VonBarter, I don't know...I haven't heard or seen anything on this since the announcement ....if they do I'll make a video for sure :)
Oh and thank you for the compliment :) Cheers
Hey Tim u got any new scooter reviews coming out soon?
Always working on something :) @runnerofthespeedforce3273, two ebikes first :)
Suuuuuuuuuuuuu
ok
Great review just wanna know is it easy to find parts for it?
Awesome question @julioamorales5165, I don't know....you could reach out and ask them? Most of this stuff should be easy to find on some of the import sites :)
Just a small correction Tim...the 1kW Spirit 1.0 Evo motor in the review is actually equivalent to a 3.5hp gas motor. Our 9.9hp equivalent is a different model-the Navy 6.0.
opppss...sorry about that :) ...makes sense :) @OceansEV
Quick question, are all of these legal in Canada?
Awesome question @bstorm123, you would need to check with the province that you're in and the municipality :) They are indeed legal where I live :)
No noise, no fumes, no maintenance, no spills, no gas! This absolutely is the future of boating. Of course I’m somewhat biased as I’m involved with the company. I got into this biz to make a difference to the environment but we’re finding it’s the many “quality of life” features that come with electric propulsion that most people are raving about. Thanks Tim for the thoughtful review of the product! That was fun to film!
Fabulous experience....it was so quiet ...love it :) @ericembacher602 thanks so much for inviting me and for helping out with the filming :) :) Cheers
Can you mount this on an inflatable dinghy or kayak that is rated to mount under 10hp motors
Awesome question @-whackd, yes...that's an awesome use case. There are two models at this power level. One has no tiller (for use like this sailboat) and the second has a tiller for your dingy :) Hope that helps...so so quiet ...love it ...ask me anything :) Cheers
Quietly awesome..!
100% Michael...it's actually quite surreal...very calming...zen like....woof :)
I used that kryptonite. My motorcycle was stolen in brough day light. 3 guys used a grinder
OM$G that's so awful to hear.....three guys and a grinder and no one called the cops? @Jmitch767
always buy MORE battery than you need. I love to recharge my scooter 1-2 times a week since the battery with 60V 28Ah so 1,8kWh is just „much too big“ for my needs
Awesome @harrison00xXx
Has anyone had to replace the brake pads on this scooter?
I haven't but wasn't it a drum brake? I don't remember lol @djmajiktuch82
@@TimsElectric I guess I was just trying to figure out how difficult it would be to replace the brakes. On my mountain bike is fairly easy. Also, how about the battery?
I actually don't know...as they're drum brakes I've never tried...and as to the battery...again not sure...you'd need to pop open the deck and remove it and replace it....not super difficult but I haven't done it :)...never needed to :) but a few years time I might need to ...with regen brakes you don't typically get the same brake wear :)
@@TimsElectric Hey, well thanks for the come back. Cheers!
happy to help :)
Hey Tim. I’m looking at the synergy tsunami and the kukirin g3 pro. What is your opinion on these?
I haven't tried the G3 ....so can't say :)
@@TimsElectric have you tried the synergy tsunami?
@@duner1612 I haven't ...just the Cyclone :)
@@TimsElectric thank you for the response.
Cheers
Its an easy choice Uncle Tim... Cops will seize an EScooter; won't bother with an EBike.
Sad to hear @davidmichael3189, where are you that they would seize an escooter?
@@TimsElectric In England, Lincoln... It's been 3 years since the Late Queen's Speech and now the Kings Speech most recently, no plans to Legalise E Scooters so it's just not worth giving the police the delight of taking (or rather stealing) any!
so sorry to hear :(
@@TimsElectric The solution at least for me was a Lankeleisi MG740 Plus. Do please have a Google on the specs - however I really enjoy your channel and wish you many, many more subscribers
awesome and thank you :) :)
Hello, I am glad I stumbled on your channel while looking for an electric scooter. Im a bigger guy around 6'1" and right around 300lbs I drive truck and also love the outdoors i have been looking for a lightweight, powerful, and fun scooter that I could fit under my bunk in a cemi-truck but also take home and use to go play around on my property (gravel and grass) im new to the electric scooters and dont even know where to begin i found this particular scooter on amazon which lead me down rabit hole after rabit hole and at this point i feel a bit overwhelmed. Would you have any more recommended scooters that have a high weight capacity, off-road tires, decent power, and speed that's reliable and sturdy but also fairly lightweight (under 90lbs)? Bonus points if it's under $1500 usd. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as a google search has turned up nothing for any electric scooter stores or rentals near me.
Awesome @codyforbes7628, happy to try and help...probably best that you email me directly...just fill out the form on my website (you'll need to repeat a couple of things that you mentioned here) ....this one is pretty solid and depending on which country you're in could be found for a good price on Amazon :) Others to look at that aren't as robust for off roading might be the emove cruiser as it has good range...but it doesn't have the power of this one. :)
As a low cost bike it's a pretty solid deal. I'd only ask one thing of any of these 48v ebikes, and that's a 14 AH battery. That's all... Just a slight bit more range. Otherwise, it's a really good deal for a nOOb...
Awesome @thetds101, you might be right...I'll be out on it today for a ride up to the university and back and will check the range on it...but wow so light :)
Range test
Awesome idea @Normydoit, will do :)
It was so nice to run into you guys and chat at Clover Point. Keep on rollin' on & we'll see you out there. Cheers! Paul
Awesome @69bellsy, so pleased we bumped into you too :) Cheers and let me know when you're scooters arrive :)
Battery removable..?
It is indeed....probably should have shown it lol :)
Nice that they throw in the rear rack and fenders as free upgrades (at the time of this video) and offer a range of accessories on the site (including the dog/pet carrier--Big Woof from Sammy). K1 is step-over and K2 is step-through. Love the weight (lack, thereof). Cool.
Cheers @michaelveronneau698, WOOF
where can i buy it in belgium
Awesome question @albanhamzi8440, I'd reach out to Inmotion and ask :)
KQ2 pro. For the extra $150 or so. Better everything.
Awesome @giantbush4258, I love the KQi3 Pro too :)
@timselectric I know u reviewed the inmotion s1. Im deciding between the inmotion S1F or this Inmotion climber due to its lighter weight. In your opinion which is better? I weight roughly 220-230lbs.
Awesome question @MrShOpOw, it depends...the power was more on the climber but the ride was more comfortable on the S1...so it depends on your environment...hills...extra weight..climber...no hills then S1 :) IMHO
@@TimsElectric CLIMBER IT IS! Thanks!!
@@TimsElectric not gonna lie. Still considering the Cunfon dual motor tho it’s a bit heavier and a bit pricier
the Cunfon is quick :)
Too expensive to be relevant. YMMV.
your mileage may vary?
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you @gowine504
I have two pickup trucks 1500,3500 ..i do ride a motorcycle as well but riding motorcyclein the citylimits are crazy with the hit and run accidents..So on weekends I enjoy ebike and escooter ...escooter is great for them short errands up to 10 miles...but all day rides down town I enjoy the ebike if battery dies I still can used pedal power
Awesome to hear @CBRR10011, I love it :)
Why most of the ebikes gotta be girl frames? :/
that's a little bit dated @skepticfucker280, step through frames are for both....easier to get on for older and less mobile and less weight :)
Have you done an EUC yet?
I haven't tried one yet @Fishfood007, could be fun :)
@@TimsElectricthey are a lot of fun. Have quite the learning curve though.
interesting...I think maybe one day :)
@@TimsElectric takes a couple hundred miles but once you get it you won’t care for a scooter or bike anymore.
but don't you have to wear lots of gear? I like to just hop on my scooter and go wearing a helmet ;)
First comment! You just know that whenever there's a new Tim's Electric video, I drop whatever I'm doing and run to my iPad to watch! And you never disappoint...I do love these KBO foldables!
Wow, thanks! cheers @ericembacher602, I have another video dropping next week....you're in it :)
How fast is it ???
Awesome question....@PRINCE_175, but I don't do speed tests...I'm too old :)
@@TimsElectric actually when you started mentioning the turn signals & regular braking system I made my decision to go at Segway GT 1
hope you love it :)
Doesn't matter what kind of bike lock you use. If someone wants to steal it, they'll steal it
100% @No_Dice_Leroy, you're right :)
isn't it the same case for almost all the other locks?
We need a better way for sure @skilledcamman4752
What’s the range on this one? I’m planning to buy one tomorrow.
Awesome question @squizi7090, it depends on factors like...battery age, weight of rider, temperature...riding style...hills...wind etc...solid unit though :)
@@TimsElectric thank you very much for your response. I just found the new Apollo ghost V2 2022. Also, I found it for 900 USD and I found the 2021 for 800 USD which one do you think I should get my weight is approximately like 250 pound and I’m planning to do a lot of travele with it so which ones do you recommend?
good question...if they have similar mileage then I'd look at the V2 :)....maybe haggle and mention that you're looking at another one :) perhaps get it down to 800 :)
@@TimsElectric thank you I just bought the V2 for 800 everything runs good. It has like 500 km but the only thing that the brake is squeaking a little bit the owner said that because the brakes are brand new, but I think it’s the opposite because the brake pads are worn out so from your experience, what do you think this is the problem there are squeaking even when I’m not breaking and the tire is spinning, it’s squeaks
I would change the pads and clean the rotors with rubbing alcohol...and double check that the rotors aren't bent :)
I weigh more then that
All good @AmusedDaffodils-mz5rw, let me know your weight and I can make recommendations :)
Love the Godzilla edit 😂
thank you @morbidslayer666, me too :)
Nice ,did you notice if the EABS worked well? I'm thinking of buying another scooter and I love the regen brake of my Apollo city pro. I know this does not have dedicated regan ,but it reads it has EABS. Very reasonable price on this scooter. cheers! thumbs up!
Awesome question @jakeanddar, I actually didn't notice...I'll take it for a spin this week and try again and see if I can tell...it was smooth...which is a good sign :)
Can you get a seat for this scooter?
I don't know ...you could ask them :)
So these guys are not a scam then? I just ordered one and the very Chinese name has me worried 😂
sometimes they choose odd names for their products :)
Tim how do you set that to mph???
Awesome question @snoopysrc, I think it was in the P settings :)
this is great info. i just had two of mine stolen last week even though i had a kryptonite ulock. i realize now that u locks are kinda useless bc the scooter can slide right out even though it may not look like that. i hate thieves. i'm hoping i can find out who did it and press charges.
Awesome @TexasFightTexas, best of luck...thieves sux
Hello, how much does the battery by it self weigh?
Awesome question @vincevinyl7830, I don't recall...it was solid :)
Ebike if u fall off scooter it's long way down cause ur standing u might even go flying in air ebike more safer bigger tires
Awesome @bruceim3290, one more vote for ebikes :)
That is a solid (not-so-) little scooter. A little rough around the edges, but and perhaps a bit dated in the design, but OMG for US$1400 it's a bargain for what you get (power, big battery, full suspension, hydraulic brakes).
Awesome @ericembacher602, thanks for sharing your insights :) bang on as always :)
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it! thank you @andrewpowell2116
I'm glad there's a mentioning of the importance of safety gear in this. Road rash does hurt a lot!
Ouch @crystalspaint6483, indeed :) :)
It looks very cool
@thegaminglegend6464, I thought so :)
Hi Tim Do you happen to remember what Paul was riding? I'm 6'5" and his handle bar was a good 4 or 5 inches taller than your scooter. Thanks
Awesome question @LaughingRandomly, it's a bit of a mystery...but I am going to try and do a review of it in the Fall as I think he's bringing in a few and I offered to review one :)
@TimsElectric great, thanks Tim 😉😎
cheers
Paul here. It's a 60v 5600w 38Ah dual motor off-road beast. 11in tires. I ordered it directly from China. I believe the model name is "EKW" but I saw online that another company had named one just like it a Q12. I prefer the model without clam-shell front suspension. Straight front shocks are the way to go IMO. Have fun & stay safe. 😉
You should review the NIU kqi 300x it’s a beast of a hill climber
Awesome @user-dq6zh1je8h, I'll reach out to them and see if they'd like a big guy review :)
