Scooter hunters is a new show that takes you behind the scenes while a perspective scooter
buyer tries out three scooters and decides which one is right for them Eric Decker (Airrack) is a
crazy youtuber who once took a trip on a boosted board across California and now he wants to ride
an electric scooter across the state of Florida so he contacted scooter hunters to find the right
scooter for his trip he's looking for a scooter that can go the distance without breaking down
more comfortable to ride than an electric skateboard and fast enough to put a smile
on his face all right hey how you doing great to see you my man yeah thanks for Lana we went
Atlanta la San Francisco you're finally here sweet okay well it's really good to meet you
I've seen your YouTube videos they're awesome especially the one about riding the boosted
board across California yeah that was crazy about half a year ago we did a boosted board trip where
we took an electric skateboard across the entire state of California it was insane the eboard a
scooter community loved it so we decided to do a second version on scooters and I knew that
if I was going to do this I definitely was not the guy to pick out the scooters I didn't know
anything about them but I talked to chuck Chuck is the guy and I trust you to help me
figure out what that is so that's why we're here today we're here to pick out a good scooter and
and learn a little bit hopefully scooter number one emove Cruiser the emove Cruiser is an ultra
long-range commuting scooter the latest model has been upgraded with a keyed ignition semi
hydraulic brakes an ip67 water resistance rating tubeless pneumatic tires and an LG battery this
one's got some color to it I like that so this is the emove cruiser by Oro motors okay it has
a 600 watt rear motor has a test a top speed of 26.2 miles per hour the range is what's actually
phenomenal about this scooter 50.3 miles of tested range it also weighs 55 pounds so it's not light
you can still kind of pick it up the other cool things about it is that it's quite portable in
that the whole thing folds in the handlebars go in as you can see and then the whole thing will
fold down so it'll be just like that long Wow you have a pretty nice long deck for your stance
the other cool things about it or that it has to bliss pneumatic tires so the tubeless pneumatic
pneumatic being like your most safe comfortable and high performance but the tubeless part makes
it less prone to punctures so when you're on a long ride you know you have less of a chance of
getting a flat tire and flat tires and nobody wants those it also has semi hydraulic brakes
be careful if you smash too hard just lean back as you're braking because the brakes
are literally solvers yeah you could do that so just lean back because it does stop really
quick on the front right here you actually have turn signals oh wow left it also has a horn so
if you're on the street or whatever so what we figured we do is like let you go out and
ride for a little bit and see how you like it I love it I love this thing already all right cool
that was insane I that was I've never been on anything like this in my entire life this is
insanity dude way out but tell me about it how was your oh it was exhilarating I really got my heart
is pumping right now I've been on like birds scooters lime scooters this is on a different
planet I don't think I've ever been that fast on a scooter before in my entire life with like that
much control the handling is awesome the speed is crazy the range is something I would not have
expected like that is a big selling point I feel like for this trip specifically but overall I mean
that is a blast that is too much fun you know in terms of the trip you're gonna go what 300
400 miles something like that was it comfortable did it seem like you were jerking around on it or
do you feel like you could ride this for 300 miles I think I could I think I could one last question
what do you think this cost oh man Oh for the amount of fun I feel like fun and cost should
like equally increase I feel like this is maybe very close very close yeah it's $13.99 although
we have a coupon code seven percent off that I think you save 90 bucks awesome all right cool
are you ready for scooter number two I'm ready for it scooter number two zero 10x the zero
10x is a scooter sure to turn heads as fast as it looks it is also known for its best in class ride
quality due to the dual coil over air shocks and with optional off-road tires the zero 10x is one
of the most versatile and beastly scooters out there Oh build to it that looks like it can go
off some jokes so this is the zero 10x this is sold by Rev rides here in the United States it
is a heck of a scooter as you can see it's bigger it's got super wide handlebars it's a dual 1,000
watt motor Wow so it's 2,000 watts nominal versus the one you were just on is 600 Wow over three
times faster or powerful it has a top speed of close to 38 miles per hour that we've tested and
it has a range of just under 24 miles so still almost a marathon of distance away 77 pounds the
handlebars as you can see they're really wide they do have a nice curve to them you can fold it down
but they do stick out so keeping it in your car you know it might be a little bit more difficult
the big selling point on this one is the most comfortable in terms of suspension it's like a
trampoline Wow the most important thing right is knowing when you're in single and dual motor but
when you click this red button yes that's when you go to dual motor mode and then you need to
just be a little bit more careful it's gonna it's gonna like take you forward a bit quicker in terms
of the tires are both really big they're wide this one in terms of the ride it's one of the
most or the most comfortable scooter in terms of its suspension and the tires it's also pneumatic
it stops really quick as well it looks awesome this is more of like a sprinter than a marathon
runner right here right yeah yeah although it does go close to a marathon grab distance okay
if you go slower you're gonna get more range on your trip going from a skateboard world
that you scooter world and hearing the range that these things have is shocking like that is a core
especially for max out ya see 24 miles of range is unheard of yeah so I'm excited to try it out
how you doing I thought the last one was fast this one is fast yeah that's crazy are you sweating a
little bit and I was terrified at 30 miles an hour yeah that's bad yeah 30 laps when you're standing
up winds in your face yeah the suspension wasn't saying that was that was pretty crazy again like
nothing I've ever ridden before also this one has that six inch clearance pretty much the highest
of any scooter out there so if you go over rough terrain or you're in some like bad areas you're
not gonna scrape on it I can see right now you took it into the dual motor mode glad you had
fun on this one what do you think this cost oh man this feels like more of a sports car compared to
the last one so I'm gonna assume there's a little bit of a premium on there I'm gonna guess $2,100
close there is a version that's 2,100 oh guys the one that we have here is right around $1,600
really yeah Wow yeah so this is the same price as the last one it's a couple of dollars more scooter
number three cabo mantas pro the cabo mantas pro is not only one of the fastest scooters on the
planet it is also one of the most nimble with its curved handlebars and trim 64 pound frame
adding in some of the best dual hydraulic disc brakes and it is no wonder the Mantis is one of
the most popular extreme scooters on the planet scooter number three Wow is the Cabo Mantis this
is the pro version of the scooter not the base now these are hydraulic discs you'll notice when
you're braking you can basically break with one finger with full power two motors total of 2,000
watts nominal similar power to the last one ah more because because this one max is out higher
38 miles per hour of top speed and then this one goes about 34 35 miles on a charge so a little
bit further this one is 64 pounds I believe so a little bit lighter weight and then as you can see
the handlebars are a little bit more narrow which actually lends itself to carving a little bit more
you can definitely get a little bit faster on this one it folds down just like the other one this one
does lock down with this little piece here so when it is locked in you can actually pick it
up by the stem Wow tell me about the suspensions this is mention I feel like kept me pretty safe
when I was going that fast offroad what is the suspension surely I actually think that the
suspension on this one is very similar to the 10x I think it's personal preference but as you can
see yeah it's also an adjustable suspension it's like another trampoline awesome um I would put as
far as ride comfort I would put the tube pretty similar actually the 10x in this this is just
a little lighter the handlebars make it so that you can like turn maybe a little bit easier and
the range is a little better top speed is about the same but the acceleration and the torque is
gonna be a bit faster on this is actually one of the fastest scooters that we've ever tested Wow
okay I'm well I'm excited I'm a little bit of a adrenaline junkie so there's something maybe my
type of scooter awesome and then you got the same you know similar controls press the red
button when you're ready to go cool we'll try it out and see how it feels um and if it fits it fits
I know I say this every time I come back but like you thought the last one was fast this is
fast sorry ramier behind the camera he tried to keep up with me and he couldn't we try to get the
shots but at some point I just had to take off like this man Airrack is a madness hahaha it's
really really fast what I will say is when it is single motor I feel super safe with the brakes
and the tighter hand right here you can definitely feel the agility that came with a tighter handle
base so what so would you say this is more or less comfortable for going straight and more or
less comfortable for turning than the ten I would say more comfortable okay for making turns and
maneuvering around tight situations this right here my hands honestly ache a little bit from
the speed and not so much on single but on dual I mean you're here you're holding on for dear life
I'm literally by white-knuckle trying to hold on to the scooter alright so after riding the Cobo
mantis pro yep what would you say is the price of the scooter alright so the last one I guessed
2,100 it was actually 1,600 this is a little bit of a step up I'm gonna guess 1850 okay this one
the base model is actually about sixteen sixteen fifty okay after our discount fifteen hundred the
pro model 2050 Oh yep I think you get a bit of a discount as well with our coupon code a little
over two thousand dollars for the best the Mantis let's get all three out so we can kind of like
compare and contrast and then let's see if we can get a winner at it I love it all right I'm excited
Airrack yes we've got all three scooters that you have just rode all here in front of you tell me
what you think about each one and then let's see if we can find the winner I'm gonna start from
the first one this one right here the color first off I'm just gonna say there's no specs behind it
adds a little bit of flair I like that it was it felt like the most leisurely ride it's quick
the range is crazy which is a huge pro of this one and I mean braking acceleration everything
felt super comfortable I'm gonna say it might be maybe one of the more comfortable ones and
that might just be because of the speed and lack of aggression this one just in the way
look shocks me I mean it just looks like there's a ton of suspension it looks super aggressive and
the performance lines up to that perfectly super fast wide handles right here we went over crazy
bumps off-road and you basically don't feel it at all aggressive overall scooter I mean you
said there's a kick tail in the back if you want to pop wheelies and yeah this is condoning that
kind of behavior you know this is the one when I show up to the shop or whatever I'm riding around
town people will stop and ask me yes what is this yes yes it's like the Lambo slash Ferrari look of
all scooters right yeah really aggressive ride but not compared to this one right here I didn't think
it'd get faster I didn't think it could get more aggressive but this definitely delivered on that
the suspension and ride felt very similar but topping out at you know 30-plus miles an hour
was much easier on this scooter ramier one on one face the consequences of that kind of speed
we were really moving on this thing but again super fast super aggressive and a little bit
better range than this one so after writing all these scooters talking about them and thinking
about them for the whole day here today with us which one is the one for your trip across Florida
as an adrenaline junkie myself if I were going to go you know 100 miles as fast as
possible this scooter right here in a second - this scooter right here would be the choice
I mean they're so fast they're so fun and if it were a sprint it would be a no-brainer I
think for the trip that we're going after where it is such a long distance and it's something
where we're looking for I really do believe that this cruiser is probably the best option it's in
the name I think we're going for a cruiser we're in for the marathon not the sprint and
I really felt like this was probably the best for it especially with the range I agree with
you I think that the cruiser is a solid scooter we find that people don't have issues with it
very often meaning that it's just like very robust and it's been around for a long time
I think that's a solid choice you're not gonna be like doing crazy peeling out everywhere yeah
but it's gonna get you where you need to go thank you very much for being on scooter hunters with
us today we are excited to follow your ride if you're watching this right now that means
that Airrack has already completed his ride so go and check out the ride across Florida
we're gonna see if he makes it I'm looking forward to seeing if you can make this trip
and seeing what happens oh yeah oh yeah there's no if it's when but we'll see in what condition
