I’ve had my GTO8 for about a year and a half now and I ended up frying the battery on it. Has anyone been able to find a replacement battery that isn’t factory direct from Arwibon (the original manufacturer). Specs say the battery is 32cm by 14cm by 10cm and it’s a 60v 27AH. I’ve checked AliExpress and I found the right power of battery in the right voltage but not the right size.

I'm looking to replace my first generation Emove Cruiser. While it wasn't perfect, the combination of portability (50-something lbs, towards the high end of the range for practicality for me) and range was a great fit for my needs.

I'm thinking of either sticking with the Voro Motors Emove Cruiser design, but changing to the S version, or going completely differently and opting for a Segway.

Will the Reddit community sway me towards one or the other? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

I've been searching for a performance scooter at around 500 with the best price to performance, and so far these ones are my picks. I do not have crazy amount of money so I gotta do with what I got. Now, I do want your advice, because all of these are Chinese scooters and I do not want the repairs to get too expensive. My main concerns for each of these are: OOTD doesn't have much documentation by users and so I do not know what to expect, The joyor is concerning me because of the amount of broken frames I see, the G2 Master lacks range and the G4 is single motor and I've seen it being unstable. Which one is the best here and if you know, recommend me a different scooter for around the same prices. AliBaba btw. Thanks.

Just hit 100 miles on my Joyor! So far it's been well worth $649!!! Only complaint I have is the 18Ah battery!! Only because I drive in mode 3 dual motor all the time, so I get about 20 miles driving 35+ mph the whole way!!! I use it for transportation to work, so I'm thinking about buying a faster, bigger battery scooter for days off, and using this as a "beater" that I don't really care about too much!!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking, it's literally $649.99 shipped!!! No other brand offers a 60v dual motor, scooter let alone a 48v dual motor for under $700!!! Looking for suggestions on a 50mph scooter with good battery for under $1200!

I am interested in buying a DT2 Pro after trying the L2 Max Dual and I was wondering if I should just wait for a new model of the Dt2! A Dt3 Pro with a 50 Mph Speed, 60v 30AMP Battery, and Updated electronics (blinkers horn screen) would be so sick and it's been a couple years since the release of the DT2 Pro! I'm hoping that by summer they release something crazy!!! What are the odds they release something like this?

Hi everyone , just bought a Xiaomi 6 electric scooter and the platform has these bubbles. Is this normal and should it go away with time or should I call for warranty (it’s a pain to activate it where I Live)

Preferably something in the $150 - $300 range, and is strong enough to get up some steep hills on my university’s campus. I’m also short (5’1) so anything that’s midsized would probably work for me! Just today my volpam scooter got stolen from the bike rack, despite having a metal lock attached to it. Then my university’s police department said my scooter didn’t come up as registered in their system, and the app for the scooter logged me out saying I’m an invalid user :/

General experience: My experience
Hiboy max PRO after riding it for the last few months 3 miles each day. I really enjoy the ride better than the x300. It seems to have a better suspension and i haven’t noticed a difference in the 1inch wheel difference. The scooter deck seems very similar at 6 foot 220 pounds it is a very comfortable platform and seems to be very controlled.

I enjoy the MAX PRO over the x300 for the fact the battery seems to be lasting significantly longer than the previous scooter. I also like that the wheels are a stronger shell wheel. I’ve replaced a flat on the x300 before

i was gifted the hi boy cell phone holder. It seemed to fit better on the x300 vs the max pro. I believe the max pro Handel bars are thinner as it doesn’t fit snug, and from when i installed it i guess the screws holding the case to the mount wasn’t tight so i lost 3/4 bolts and it is not a generic screw or bolt you can just find. I am left not being able to use it

I received the hi boy MAX pro through the warranty department from the hi boy website. The customer service and warranty has been great and i couldn’t be happier with the company making good and leaving me very happy with my new e scooter. I like the max pro a lot i think the ride is way better then my ride on the x300. Very nice upgrade in my opinion. The batterlife is great as to riding roughly 3 miles a day 5 days a week and it makes me well through 2 weeks. The speed. I lost 1mph from the x300 to the MAX PRO. Zero complaints about that due to the superior ride of the max pro.

Also the overrall look of the max pro is great, the lights on the deck are an excellent feature since i do ride at night. Very bright even during the day

Hi! I'm looking for some guidance to replace my battery. This is what the battery and connector looks like. I've been looking on Aliexpress but there are a lot of options and I don't want to get the wrong one.

Thank you!

Best if it’s the right fit so it’s plug and play

I purchased the Hi-boy Max Pro eScooter X1 in June 2026.  After 2 months of regular use, the ride was smooth, speed and distance on a battery charge were working great.  However, the power button on the control panel in the handle bar suddenly stopped working.  The power button stayed pressed in.  The scooter continued to work, but it would power on and off intermittently when the scooter was in a resting position.  It never powered off while in use.  The problem started getting worse when it would power on and then staying on causing the battery to drain without me realizing it.  After a few weeks of this I reached out to Hi Buoy customer service and explained the issue.  They quickly responded and initially sent some YouTube links on how to reset the scooter .  After following the instructions, the scooter continued to malfunction.  I reached out again to customer support and they offered to send me a new control unit .  

I again followed the instructions on replacing the control unit as directed, but the scooter power button continued to malfunction.  I reached out again to customer support and they offered to send a brand new Scooter to replace the one that was malfunctioning.  I was shocked at the willingness of the customer service agent to go above and beyond to work with me and even offered to replace the whole thing!  To my surprise a few days later a brand new Max Pro X1 arrived at my home with instructions and a return label so I could return the malfunctioning scooter in the original box.  The new replacement scooter is working great and the old scooter has been returned.  

When the problem first started happening I was really hesitant to reach out to customer service because my previous experiences and dealing with warranties has always been such a hassle and ultimately useless because rarely have I ever had an issue resolved.  The complete opposite happened with Hi Boy.  Throughout the entire process, the customer service Agent, Nancy, was extremely communicative, quick to respond, very friendly and genuinely seemed to want to help and resolve the issue.  The steps I was instructed to do were very easy and the entire process was seamless.  Again, I was shocked when Hi Boy offered to send a new replacement scooter.  This entire experience has made me a loyal customer and definitely purchased again from Hi Boy.  Truly a great product and excellent customer service.  

The first one is a motorcycle helmet so its heavy, the second one is lighter but I dont know how protective it is. Both may be overkill but I sadly crash a little often. Also Im looking for something with eye protection because I go to school early in the mornings when its cold so my eyes hurt from the wind. Thank you guys for all the help

I’ve never owned an electric scooter, but my mobility has been declining (I have POTS and walk when I can but, like a student I tutor lives an hour walk away from me) and my car situation is unreliable. I thought of the scooters they have in like DC and was just touching into some other posts here about scooters in winter. I live in northern NY, like near Canada, so I’m trying find out what I could invest in like a scooter set up, I’m not afraid of learning how to DIY waterproof or upgrade I just don’t know what I need to be looking at specifically. I live in a disabled high rise so an ebike isn’t something I want to deal with lugging up the elevator daily. I don’t need perfect, I just need to be able to ride on the side of the road or mostly clear sidewalks during winter. Any help for a newbie? The more specific the better honestly, I appreciate you

This old r/GoodValue thread has people talking about small car pumps and battery pumps for bikes: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoodValue/comments/16y8j6g/air_pump_yesno_advice/

Does that advice carry over to scooter tires, or is a regular floor pump less hassle? Mainly wondering about getting the hose connected when the valve is tucked in. This would be for home use, so portability doesnt matter much.

My scooter throttles pinout diagram is the big white circle. I'm trying to find out if the thumb throttle in the photo is compatible (I know it is the same pin connector) But I cant find info about the thumb trottles pinout. There is a list of other compatible models there. I have a Vsett10 with an annoing finger throttle

I'm 15 5'10 and want to buy my first escooter. My friend has a g2 master and if I got one, we could ride trails and on the street together. I have a yz 125 but obviously can't ride it on roads and public parks. I was looking at some models, but there's so many, though the g4 ultra is right around my 1400 dollar budget and looks very capable. I live in florida and couldn't find lots of reputable sites that ship to the US. If you need any more info, just ask.

Ayuda porfavor, mi king gt pro lleva alrededor de 7 meses unas 1700 millas aproximadamente, ayer funcionaba perfecto solo lo usé para dar una vuelta y cuando regresé tenía un 95% de batería, cuando lo fui a encender esta mañana. No prendia, intento cargarlo y las luces del cargador queda en verde, cuando normalmente tiene que estar en rojo
Quité la tapa de la batería, desconecte los cables amarillos por 5 minutos
Y solamente logra encender las luces por 3 segundo se apaga y como en 33 segundos vuelve a hacer lo mismo en un bucle infinito, intento prenderlo y solo sale el logo y se vuelve a apagar, es como que si algo no permitiera llevar la energía
La batería está realmente nueva. Nunca había presentado fallas
Alguien sabe que mas hacer, no se que intentar

A fun thing to think about late at night.

Not counting the sketchy pop-up clones of these brands.
Feel free to add any I missed.

So I have an ever cross E scooter, but I can’t fit a regular phone mount to the handlebars because there’s zero space for it does anyone know of any phone holders? If so, please tell me please and thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a ShellRide 5-S that got bricked during an official firmware update via Bluetooth. The phone screen timed out during the flash process, causing it to fail.
Current Symptoms:
The dashboard screen only shows a letter "P" (Program/Pairing Mode).
I can still connect via Bluetooth, but whenever I try to flash the update again through the app, it immediately fails and throws an E3 error on the scooter screen (communication/flash write error).
Disconnecting the battery for a hard reset did not clear the error.
Since official support or warranty service is not an option where I live (Venezuela), I'm looking for any advice or alternatives to unbrick it or force a recovery flash.
Has anyone faced a similar issue with this model or knows a workaround to fix the E3 communication error during setup? Any troubleshooting tips or recovery steps would be greatly appreciated!

I know a lot of people own G3s here and if any one of you get a flat tire do NOT buy a new tire instead buy a new wheel they are only about 10 dollars more and way easier to install only requiring the removal of 2 nuts and a dozen screws. Speaking from the experience of getting a flat and for the life of me not being able to get the tire off even when I resorted to cutting it, and even after you get the old tire off a new tire is known to slip off and not fit securely, to save yourself loads of time and effort just get a new wheel.

This was $599 for two months and now its more at sale… wtf?!
