Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over, you are watching review machines, and after
a little thaw we decided to make our traditional battle of the newest electric scooters.
We picked out three the most popular and affordable models.
By the way they are popular in our state, but at your place they may be known under
different name, cause there are numerous analogs of these scooters throughout the world.
The matter is all of them are Chinese, but the distributors are selling the same models
under different brand names.
Well first of all we are going to unpack our scooters, lets do it!
Firstly we unpacked Kugoo S3.
For example in the US there is an analog which is called Gotrax.
We see here the standard set, but I liked there was a bag to carry the scooter.
Now we are unpacking Xiaomi.
It is extremely popular in our state, and there are huge amount of analogs, for example
Hover in the US.
And finally Halten Tony.
It Is a new model of this season, so the brand may be unknown for you, but again there are
numerous analogs, for example Segway Ninebot.
By the way I’ll all the links to scooters in the description below the video.
Well we assembled all the scooters and they are ready for tests now.
As I said we picked out the most popular models of the affordable electric scooters, except
Halten, cause it is a new model.
Now we are going to look closer at the scooters and then we will make thorough tests, like
maximum speed and range.
But firstly lets compare the key features of the models.
We start with the deck length.
It is an important spec, cause the bigger deck the more comfortable to stand on it and
ride.
Kugoo has 42 cm deck.
Halten has significantly bigger deck – its 52 cm.
And Xiaomi has 46 cms.
By the way only Kugoo has adjustable handlebar, the height of the other scooters is fixed.
Now lets check the wheels diameter.
Halten and Xiaomi have 9 inches wheels and Kugoo has 7 inches wheels.
Now lets compare their weight.
Kugoo weighs 12 kilos.
Halten weighs 13 kilos.
Nad Xiaomi weighs 14 kilos.
Speaking about Kugoo S3.
In fact it is the most popular model in our state, mostly because it is the most affordable
scooter.
Its price is just about 300 dollars at the moment.
As I mentioned there are many analogs throughout the world, like Gotrax.
Despite it’s a cheap model, it has quite serious specs.
There is a lithium battery 8 AH capacity, the front motor wheel has 350 watts power.
There is a grip cover on the deck, that gets dirty very quickly.
The brakes are electric and rear mechanical by the fender.
There are front and rear suspension.
The dashboard is big, there are many buttons on it, frankly speaking it looks oldfashioned,
besides the display is too dim.
The head light also is not very bright.
By the way it is the only scooter with foldable handlebar.
The folding gear is standard and it is quite reliable and handy.
Not to waste our time lets start to measure the range of the scooter and get first impressions
at the same time.
But measuring the range we should take into account, there there is only 5 Celsius degrees
outside, it is quite chilly and windy so it may affect the final results.
Nevertheless lets hit the road!
And speaking about the first impressions.
Well despite it is the cheapest model, it is a swift scooter.
The acceleration is pretty fast, the handling is predictable and smooth.
As to the suspension, it seems to tough, sometimes it feels as if it didn’t have any suspension
at all.
Besides I don’t like the brakes.
The electric brake is too harsh, sometimes it seems that you can even roll over when
push the brakes.
Then the plastic elements feels too cheap, the deck is rather tight and finally as I
said it is hard to see anything on the display in sunny weather.
Lets check the maximum speed.
Its maximum is 26 kmh.
Well let this scooter continue riding to measure the range and we move to the next model.
This device is called Xiaomi Mi Pro, as well as other scooters it has many analogs like
Hover on Amazon.
We have the original Xiaomi and it is more expensive model, its price is about 550 dollars,
but here are decent characteristics.
Qualitative paint and welding seams, neat and clean design.
The power of the motor is 300 watts.
The capacity of the battery is 12.8 AH.
The both wheels are pneumatic, the rear one is equipped with a disk brake.
The deck is covered with rubber.
It may be slippery when its wet, but it is much easier to wash it.
The folding gear is simple and handy.
By the way there is no any suspension.
The display is small, but it is bright and looks cool.
And there is only one button for all the control.
The headlamp is pretty bright.
Besides there is an App with a comprehensive info and settings.
And it is time to start the range test and get some impressions about the scooter.
Well it feels absolutely in other way.
As opposed to Kugoo, it is smooth and it feels solid, more expensive and qualitative device.
There is a mechanical disk brake, it works a way better than electric brake at Kugoo.
The deck is bigger and it is more comfortable to stand on it.
On the other hand there is no any suspension, so it requires only a good asphalt.
Lets check its maximum speed.
Well it is 20 kmh.
The matter is the speed is limited here according to European laws for riding in the cities.
Lets move on to measure the range and we meantime look at the next model.
Halten Tony – it is the newest model on the market but frankly speaking it looks very
like Segway Ninebot.
Its price is only 320 dollars, but it has decent specs, besides the whole design is
bright and pleasant.
The power is 350 watts.
The both wheels are air filled, the rear one is equipped with a disk brake.
The battery is installed into the handlebar.
The capacity is 7,5 AH.
There is a front and rear suspension.
The deck with a grip cover that quickly gets soiled.
The display is not very big but bright.
There is also an APP for all possible settings.
The built quality seems to be decent, even tiny details are assembled neatly.
Folding gear is quite simple and handy, but there is a drawback.
The diameter of this tube is too large due to the battery inside it.
That is why it is not comfortable to carry the scooter.
Well lets try to ride it!
Good start, the handling is nice and predictable, there is enough room on the deck.
First impressions are pretty good.
Besides we liked how the suspension works here, it is much softer than at Kugoo.
The brakes are perfect.
By the way there is both a disk brake and electric one.
Electric braking is perfect for slowing down, and the mechanical is good when you need to
stop immediately.
Now lets check the maximum speed.
The maximum speed is 27 kmh.
The best result for today!
Now it is time for the range test.!
After some time of riding we are ready to find out the final results!
Kugoo S3 – the result is 17 kms.
Xiaomi Mi Pro – the result is 21 kms.
Halten Tony – the result is 18 kms.
Well the best result for today has showed Xiaomi Mi pro.
No wonder taking into account it is the most expensive scooters we’ve had today.

And it is time to call it a day!
