so I'm finally back taking a look at another e-scooter and this is an off-road one as you
can see it's got large chunky tires they are 11 inches rear hub motor that's a thousand watts and
it weighs about 26 kilos this model here it's from Ice scooter and it is the ix6 model it
has a collapsible handlebar dual suspension it's actually got four little shocks on it
so front and rear suspension mechanical disc brakes a top speed of 25 kilometers per hour
or 45 kilometers per hour if unlocked and a range of 45 kilometers so in this video I'll be going
through it in depth with my tests and I'll let you know all about this ice scooter model the
ix6 so unlocking it very easy with that NFC key acceleration with the press down thumb throttle
it's smooth very smooth and that motor is really quiet you don't hear the motor at all like okay
not hear it it's not a high pitch whining noise you don't get any vibrations coming from the motor
and it is quite smooth I like the fact that we have a bit of clearance to under it means like
this little curb right here I can go along I can pop that front wheel up got the back the
suspension doing the work and the tires the tires do soak up quite a bit of the little bumps here
too as well I've noticed that the suspension is is a little firm but I like that it's not too
soft it means it's not going to bottom out with my weight either I'm about approximately 82 kilos
it does have that cruise control so the more you or longer hold down that throttle
it will then lock on the cruise control so you can lock in your speed then and
that does make it quite comfortable too when you're just cruising along
oh
up ahead there's a little bit of rough road again you can feel that suspension soaking up a little
bit of that and the tires so I'm running in them only around 30 PSI so they're reasonably soft and
they're self-sealing as well so that's why I don't run 40 which would be a lot harder 30 has a tiny
bit of given it right now for a top speed test this is the only time I'm going to do this it's in
a car park so not on the public roads here using that NFC a key again very simple to turn it on
you just press it around that area and there it is it's on so I go into the top level which is Turbo
and we'll see what kind of speeds I can get up to so acceleration now with it unlocked in
the off-road mode does feel a bit better so I'm at 28 29 31 32 33 kilometers per hour 37. 39 40
1 42 43 and I should be able to get up to 45 kilometers per hour but that is all the room
I really have for so good top speed on this scooter with a thousand watt motor [Music]
now my climb test this is 20 degrees we have the thousand watt motor 48 volt system and
I am slowing a little as you can see down to 16 kilometers per hour 16 15.
14 in the steeper patches but the good thing is I don't have to start kicking
not at all there's so many other scooters on the market that don't handle this climb
at all as soon as he braking test now from 30 kilometers per hour from the White Post
whoops look into the rear up a little bit but good braking performance very
good that's better than most scooters because of those chunky off-road style
tires our mechanical disc brakes braking performance is excellent with the ix6
this is where the scooter is ideal off-road a little bit of stones
it looks so well there is no way I would attempt this with say a xiaomi scooter
gonna be able to do it just fine but nowhere near as good as this because of those fat tires the
suspension it is doing a great job at soaking us up making the ride quite smooth too [Music]
you put it in the box you'll find this travel pouch so you can strap this around the front
handlebar and it allows you just to carry a few things around but inside here you'll find our
charger so charge time is about seven to nine hours for our 17.5 amp hour battery we've got
a tool kit two charging plugs so EU and UK the two NFC keys and here an instruction manual of the ix6
the ix6 does have four of these adjustable shocks so the full suspension is great I find out of the
box it's a little stiff I will probably loosen them up a little bit more but a great that we have
this option to adjust the suspension on it as I mentioned in the intro there that it's a thousand
Watts Peak this motor runs on a 48 volt system and I really do like these tires chunky off-road
tires with plenty of Treads so they're 11 inches so it's larger than what you typically see most
scooters are 8 or 10 inches mechanical ventilated disc brakes that are 120 millimeters and you can
adjust them there's some adjustment here breaking performance is excellent and I'll be covering that
with my emergency braking test later in this review but it's not just mechanical disc brakes
we have with it the rear hub motor also acts as an illiterate brake the ground clearance is good you
can see we've got plenty of space here being an off-road focused e-scooter so the charging port
with its little dust cap here is located on the right side charging time is about seven
to nine hours for the 17.5 amp hour battery or 840 Watt hours the front and the rear mud guards
are made out of a strong ABS style plastic they look very sturdy they're held into place firmly
and it looks like we won't have that problem that you see with a lot of the other scooters cheaper
scooters where that rear mug guard seems to always break off this one seems very solid and note that
we have some lights here at the back though all three of them are red so we have the rear brake
light and then left and right indicators and I find at night they are very bright so that
adds to our safety along with the two blue strips that we have on the top deck next to the grip tape
this gives the ix6 quite a modern look to it and note that we've got here you can see two bolts
now those bolts are used in conjunction with an optional seat post which can drop down so if you
want to sit down on the scooter while they have you covered there because you can get that seat
the front headlight is very good it's powerful it's got these four LEDs built within it and it
lights up The Path ahead of me I can see where things are clearly so folding up the scooter
is very easy you just need to loosen off The Handlebar so it just takes a few seconds to
screw those off and then you're able to drop them down now you don't have to do this but I'm just
showing you how you can do it and then loosen off our locking bolt then you can drop that handlebar
down you clip it into the top where the rear mud guard is rear fender and easy enough to
lift into the trunk or boot of a car because it's only 26 kilos not bad considering the size of it
because it is a large scooter you will obviously need quite a large boot or trunk
to fit it in but here it is in a estate or in other countries a station wagon and it takes
up pretty much the whole Space here but I don't at least have to put the seats down or anything
this is what the key looks like it simply just States I scooter so it's got the NFC
chip in there hold it up to the screen just around this area and then it will power on
the screen is very clear it is bright and no it doesn't flicker like this it's just on camera
because they have to use a quite a high Shadow rate in order to capture it correctly at least
to show you what it's like so you'll see that we've got here the average speed stats that it
will go through you can see our voltage the battery gauge the current level we are in so
we have three different levels the first one is Eco then we have the standard and then Turbo with
our assist well the level there is the maximum you see it alternates between the odometer here
and trip meter you can clearly see the speed and flashing at the moment that is the cruise control
option which I do have enabled now you can unlock it so you can get up to 45 kilometers per hour
with this model I currently have it locked to 25 because of the country where I am in and based
Spain that is the legal limit here the hand grips they're not lock grips but they don't move at all
so these are not going anywhere they are really solid and what I like about them too is they're
nice and thick they've got a little padding to them and they're very comfortable to hold on
to so here we do have our controls there's the light obviously we have a horn which is super
loud to give you a sample of this now one of the loudest I have heard that is truly deafening up
and down the different speed and power levels and then the M mode button there and our power
button obviously ix6 does use a push down style throttle if I press this now it's just going to
Simply take off you can disable this you can if you go through the settings it's in the manual to
have it kick off and then press before for safety which is a good option to have and the handlebars
so they are foldable and I like this design it's very solid because it is screwed into place others
have a spring-loaded mechanism which gives the handlebars quite a bit of play they don't feel
that solid these ones they screw in really tight and they give me a lot of confidence
unlike the other design The Handlebar height is adjustable there is a quick release right here so
I've loosened it off and dropped it right down at the moment and it's simply just a matter of
pulling it up and then pushing that quick release in and you're ready to go okay so before I mount
or someone walks in front of the camera again let me talk about the range so I managed to get to
halfway and I had covered 23 kilometers so you can reach that 40 45 kilometer range which is great to
see because a lot of Manufacturers even with 17.5 amp hour batteries 48 volt system and a thousand
watt motor will make some outrageous claims like oh you can get 100 kilometers out of it but no
it's realistic what they say it is so like the chunky tires as I mentioned quite a few times
the full suspension it's a little stiff at the start especially at the front but you can loosen
it up a little which is going to help the ride I like the the front light especially the light on
the deck here is good and there's plenty of room for my feet and just overall a very comfortable
ride it's smooth for cruising around we've got the cruise control option there too and if you unlock
it then you can get up to that 45 kilometers per hour and with it locked down is that kind of range
you're going to get about that 45 kilometers bear in mind if you've got it unlocked then
you will not be getting about 45 kilometers it'll be a lot less because you're going a lot faster
using more energy it makes sense there so hold up if you after an off-road style scooter with the
large chunky Wheels but the full suspension rear wheel drive just for cruising around especially if
you've got poor roads around it's definitely worth a look here the ice scooter ix6 thanks
a lot for watching my review hope to see you back with more up and coming e-scooter reviews
