what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out one of the latest electric scooters from Ice scooter the one that we have here today is the
ix5 model this is an electric scooter that's powered by an 800 watt motor that's in the
rear wheel here we also have dual suspension so we have suspension on the front and on the back
we have 10 inch inflatable tires we also have mechanical disc brakes on the front and on the
back and this scooter has a top speed of about 45 kilometers an hour but we'll talk more about that
later on I'm in the video Let's Start by doing a bit of an unboxing just so you can show how the
scooter comes back in the box and what you have to do to get this ready and on the road okay so
this comes in a fairly small box for an electric scooter and inside the Box the scooter is pretty
much assembled all you have to do is tighten up the screws for the speedometer here for the brake
levers so the scooter is pretty much ready to go out of the box and you should have it ready
and on the road in about 10 minutes now this scooter also comes with a seat but as you see
the right here I have removed the seat I'm not a fan of scooters that have a seat but in case you
want to sit down and ride the scooter yes there is a seat that comes in the box and the seat is
actually pre-installed well part of the seat assembly is pre-installed but I removed mine
and I haven't actually used this scooteruda seat this scooter weighs 25 kilos so not the
heaviest scooter out there not the lightest but heavy enough that you're not going to be able to
carry it for long periods of time this is also a folding scooter and this folds in a couple of ways
so we have one of the folding mechanisms right here so if you want to fold it you basically pull
on this red thing and then it folds like this we also have a couple of Wheels here that will make
it easier to carry this when folded I'm gonna set it back to the normal unfolded state we have the
kickstand right here this is made out of metal it's not the sturdiest kickstand out there but
it works fairly good I'm gonna say and the second folding part of the scooter are the handlebars so
if you pull this like this The Handlebar is an old fold now when you have so many folding Parts
you're also going to introduce some movement so I'm not the fan that The Handlebar here kind of
shakes moves so not ideal in my opinion you can also adjust this in height so this goes lower or
higher this also makes sense if you're using the seat because if you're using the seat you probably
want the handle bottom a bit lower but if you're riding this is a regular scooter maybe it makes
sense to have it a bit higher but as I said so many folding elements bring a lot of plane to
The Handlebar and I'm not a fan of that on the front and on the back we have 10 inch inflatable
tires and of course having inflatable tires will also add to the Scooter's Comfort whenever you're
riding because those tires will soak up the bumps in the road we also have a bit of off-road profile
for those tires so sure you can do a bit of off-roading with this scooter as well now you've
probably noticed by now that we have a front front and rear suspension personally I'm not a fan of
this type of suspension that we have on the front here the shock that we have on the front here
mostly because it does make a bit of noise when you're going over an even terrain over rocks and
stuff like that it does make a bit of noises you can probably hear right now so I'm not the biggest
fan of this kind of setup for a suspension however the suspension on the front and on the back does
help to improve the Comfort when riding we also have mechanical disc brakes on the front and on
the back and unlike many other scooters that I've tried in the past these ones don't seem
to make any noise when braking so pretty decent brakes for this particular scooter compared to a
lot of other scooters that I've tried in the past the braking power from these mechanical brakes is
also really good so I don't actually feel the need with this scooter for hydraulic brakes as
the cases with other scooters so pretty decent brakes on this one the scooter is powered by
an 800 watt motor that's in the rear wheel here and we also have the battery pack right here so
you're basically Standing On Top of the battery pack now the platform that you have on here is
wide enough so you can fit both your feet and we also have some kind of non-slip material on top of
this so yes even if it rains even if it's wet out you shouldn't sleep on for this now on one charge
the manufacturer says that you can get about 45 kilometers of range from my testing you can get
to between 25 and 30 kilometers on one charge and I guess that's not too bad for an electric scooter
S4 power well let's talk about the top speed first so the top speed for this scooter according to
manufacturer is 45 kilometers an hour now I'm sure you can reach that speed if you're a bit
lighter than me personally the top speed that I got on this scooter is 37 kilometers an hour
but if you're a bit lighter yes there is a good chance that they are going to be able to ride at
45 kilometers an hour but keep in mind that the speed limit in most countries for these scooters
is 25 kilometers an hour as for power delivery well if you're riding on a flat surface yes the
scooter will pick up speed fairly quick however if you do have an incline if you are riding on a
hill or something like that the scooter has pretty much no power whatsoever so if you do have a lot
of Hills wherever you live I do not recommend getting this scooter because it literally has
no power going up the hill now I'm not sure if you can see how hilly displacement is but it's
pretty much impossible to ride scooter up on this hill so kind of disappointing that an 800 watt
motor doesn't have enough power to actually take you on any steeper inclines alright so
next we have a super quick hill climbing test you can basically see the Hill from there I'm hoping
that you can hear me as well I'm not sure if my microphone works but I'll basically head towards
the camera and I'll show you where the scooter basically stops on this hill so full acceleration
and it's slowing down and it's really slowing down full acceleration as well so it's going to
stop somewhere around here so hill climbing is definitely not great on this scooter
on the front and on the back we also have plastic mud guards so if you're riding this scooter on a
wet surface you shouldn't get all that dirt them onto you on the front and on the back we also have
a light so we have the headlight on the front this is bright enough to be seen during the day and
super bright at night as well and the rear light well you can still see that during the day but of
course not as good and that also acts as a brake light so next we're moving up to The Handlebar so
The Handlebar is wide enough so you're fairly comfortable but as I said earlier there is a
lot of movement here so I'm not a fan of that we have the plastic brake lever serum the grips don't
seem to move on in any way on the left hand side here we have some buttons one of them is the horn
that's how it sounds so it is pretty loud you also have the switch for the lights you can
turn them on and off we have the ignition uh lock here so you cannot um start the scooter
without the key that's definitely a good thing and then we have the screen and the accelerator
here unfortunately the screen is very hard to be seen if it's bright out if you're riding at night
no problem so whatsoever but during the day it's pretty much impossible to see that screen okay
so let me quickly show you how you ride this scooter so you basically put the ignition key
on then you hold the power button press for about three seconds and then the screen comes on and of
course from the mode button here you can switch gears but we're gonna go in gear number three
so to accelerate you just press this button here so let's do that
I'm also going to show you a quick break test from 25 kilometers an hour so we'll break now
so you can easily lock um those Wheels if you pull on those levers some hard
enough you have a bit of a heel here so the acceleration isn't great and Uphill
we'll keep going we have some sand here so we're gonna slow down and we'll accelerate
so pretty good pickup for this scooter on a flat surface and brake test
so yeah that easy to ride this scooter so to quickly conclude this video the scooter does
look a bit different than most other scooters out there it's also nice to have a front and
rear suspension and also disc brakes on the front and on the back as I mentioned earlier the braking
power from this scooter is really good and the ride is fairly comfortable not to mention that
you do have that seat in case you want to sit down whenever you're riding the scooter
now the 800 watt motor that we have is pretty disappointing if you're going on any type of an
incline and I'm not a fan of the crazy movement that we get from The Handlebar so there you
have it this is the ice scooter ix5 thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
