not long ago I reviewed a GeForce e-bike and they do also make scooters they sent
this out to me which is their GeForce S10 the S10 has collapsible handlebars it weighs around
15 kilos and has a rear hub motor which is a peak 800 watts with 65 newton meters of torque
and then the normal rated wattage out of this motor is 500 watts the diameter of these tires
they are 10 inches and we have mechanical disc brakes which are 140 millimeters it even does
have this right here at the front which is a tiny little shock to help soak up some of those bumps
a screen here which has a clear display that's even a color display and we do have features like
cruise control and even an adjustable handlebar height so you can drop it or lower it which you
don't normally see on these types of scooters now the maximum speed is up to around about 45
5 42 kilometers per hour with a maximum range of around 48 kilometers which is approximately 30
miles I'll be putting that to the test of course in this review the S10 does have these plastic mud
guards so front and back and they feel all right a little cheap feeling and you see the front shock
now the travel you get out of it is just over an inch and it is certainly a lot better than nothing
and in the disc below so ventilated Disc One 40 millimeter mechanical disc brake so they are
not using hydraulic we have here reasonably good looking welds some of the cables are internally
routed and this part here again plastic but the rest of it is metal the deck does have a lot of
room there for my feet they're using grip tape with the GeForce branding and the kickstand is
sturdy secure that doesn't seem to rattle but there is something that is rattling which I
believe is probably this mud guard here so the mud guard made out of plastic and we do have a brake
light right here either side including indicators so you can select them to indicate you're turning
left or right and when you apply the brake lever there is also a secondary brake light within it
the charging port is located on the right hand side of the frame here it does have a little
rubber gasket to go over it to keep any dust and water out now the charge time it's using a 48 volt
system it will take approximately six to seven hours to fully charge the 12 amp hour battery
so the folding mechanism and the latch here for the handlebars does have a little security it's
a switch here on the left you pull that up then you pull the lever down and The Handlebar simply
drops right down like so the only issue is that it doesn't latch into the mud guard here at the end
or onto the frame so it's just freely just moving about like this and I don't really like this
design Choice it really should hook into something to Aid us then lifting this 15 kilo scooter
the hinge here is very sturdy I like the way it does lock in here with this front pin and
it's got bolts through it it does seem very safe very sturdy and very little play too with this
and I like g-forces lights it up here so we've got all these LEDs around the outside which is an
always on daytime running LED nighttime whenever you power on the scooter it is on in the middle
we've got a cob style LED it is very bright as you can see now using it at night time it
will light the path up ahead of you that improves your safety others can see you and overall a very
bright good headlight that comes with this GeForce S10 the S10 does not use lock grips as you can see
they're just standard kind of rubber ones but the good thing is they do not spin around they're on
there quite strong they're quite tight and they don't feel like they're going to come off or start
twisting around which can be annoying brake levers they do feel good so here we have our control so
the middle button is to power it on or off we have a horn I'll give you a quick sample of that
oh but I need to power it on first of course which I've just done to hold down for about two or three
seconds it's a reasonably loud the horn it could be a bit louder than our indicators for left and
right so using those it turns on the indicators on the rear we only have them on the rear they're
not particularly bright you can't really see them during daytime but at night time yes
um but they're not again that bright there so the top button here this turns on the front
headlight and the rear tail light and then just holding this down again for a couple of seconds
will power off the scooter and on the right I'll accelerate and you have to be very careful with
this because if I press it now the scooter will just take off so you just use your thumb there
you've got access to the brake using your thumb and it does have a cruise control feature too
if you keep holding it down and it'll eventually lock on that speed you need to tap it again or tap
the brakes to disable the cruise control and our display which does have a little bit of color in
it now you can see it in direct sunlight at the moment you can see the screen is acting really
strange that's to do with my camera shutter rate so it doesn't look like that in person we've got
our battery gauge our speed trip and our three different power levels so you've got one two
and three and each have a different speed to them so level one will get us up to about 18
kilometers per hour level two is around about 27 kilometers per hour and level three is then the
maximum speed which you can achieve around about 38 to sometimes just over 40 kilometers per hour
so I like the ride height of the scooter I think it's reasonably good I like it's
a little bit higher than others with those 10 inch wheels now they are tubeless air fold ones
and we've got a lot of room there too I don't find that my feet feel like they're crammed
in here now I've got plenty of space for them so getting on the scooter just like any other we've
got the kickstand get that out of the way here and because it's set up that I can just press
accelerator it'll just take off so you must be really careful with that because if you're not
ready for it you accidentally touch it you can dislocate your shoulder or even worse just have
it just go off on you so I've got it in the first level here with the speed and that will take me up
to 18 kilometers per hour which is good for just cruising along here if there's a few people about
and whatnot then it's nice to have these lower speed settings now putting it on to level two
then takes that speed limit up to about 26 27 kilometers per hour and then speed limit three
you'll be able to get it up to around 32 and over kilometers per hour but I'm going to keep it for
the duration of my test here just in that level two that's what I'll be using because I want to
stick to that 25 kilometers per hour which is of course the uh the legal limit here in Spain
where I'm testing this out it's a brilliant date really nice smooth ride handlebar height
you can adjust it up and down so you can get it where it's perfect and just feels right for
you nice and comfortable and I haven't noticed that front suspension really coming into play
not with conditions at the moment when I mean the road surfaces here at the moment being relatively
smooth but I'll get onto some rougher stuff later on now the motor can't really hear it
that much it's not a loud motor but it may be a bit louder when it gets up to its 800 Peak when
I do have some clients now I've got a little curb up here a little step should be able to
just lift out that front wheel go up this and then drop down and there I did feel the shock
just a tiny little bit there giving me only about one inch of travel but it's better than nothing
and one feature I do like about it it has cruise control so I hold down the accelerator
and then now I can release I'm still doing the speed there that I've set and this is
great so cruising along here without having to hold down that accelerator the whole time now
to disengage it it's like any other you tap the brakes or you tap that accelerate again
and then it comes off and it will eventually start to slow down again and so that's a good
little safety thing you're easily able to disable that cruise control
then just up ahead I do have some gravel light stones and whatnot it isn't an off-road scooter
I can hear now something rattling now and then I believe it's either rear mud guard
it's clattering away or maybe the battery and it handled that just fine now I am running 40
PSI because I don't want any pitch Flats not that it would happen so I could lower the
pressure of the tires down a bit to help improve the Comfort but it is smooth
time Chase now so this is about a 20 degree climb and it's doing it reasonably well here
slowing down to about 14 15 kilometers but the likes of the xiaomi electric scooter for pro I
would have to start kicking now and some of those other scooters especially the 250 watt
scooters just can't handle a climb this steep so although I'm only doing now 10
to 11 kilometers per hour it is able to do this climb whereas others just cannot and that
is because it has the 500 watt motor with the 800 watts Peak and 65 newton meters of torque
oh then my emergency braking test so as soon as I get to the White Post there and
approximately 30 kilometers per hour full-on emergency brake one two three
pretty good I did end up locking up the rear brake a little but excellent locking performance
now in the wet of course you want to be really careful with that front wheel you don't want to
apply too much pressure to that one it's just like being on a scooter or motorcycle in the
weird you've got to be quite careful with your braking but in dry conditions like this you can
yes do an emergency brake as I just showed you and stop in a reasonably good distance [Music]
clearly now then on to the range they say it can do approximately 48 kilometers or 30 miles
whether it's 12 amp hour battery and I'm looking at a range of short of 30 kilometers this is me
using mostly the power level 2 but with some climbs around here and 28 kilometers uh in
Miles I'm not really too sure what that figure is but it's now being displayed on the screen anyway
I think as average uh there's no way I could really get I believe well not with my weight
of 82 kilos anywhere near their claim of being 30 miles or the 48 kilometers so the top speed there
is reasonably good around about 38 you can get it up to 38 kilometers per hour I kept to level two
because that was around then 25 kilometers per hour which is the limit here that we have to use
so because of the peak 800 watts and then the 65 newton meters of torque climbing performance is
reasonably good and a lot better than say those xiaomi scooters which only have you know the low
power motors and being rear wheel drive I do like it and the fact that it's got the Dual brakes too
so disc brakes oh no not only just the rear but also the front with it is good and excellent
braking performance good feel too with the levers now probably one of the biggest complaints for me
with this scooter is this and I'll show you and demonstrate it here is that when you drop
the handlebars down there is nowhere to latch it as I mentioned when we looked at the design so
it doesn't lock into this right here and that means when you go to lift it up it's a little
more awkward and I find I have to grab hold of it about here you have to be careful with your
fingers too with the front fork and then where the stand is and I'm able then to be able to lift
it up and Weight Wise it's about 15 kilos so it isn't too bad but because the handlebar doesn't
latch into it it's just a little bit more Awkward to carry and I hope in the future designs they can
incorporate some sort of hook on here that does then hook into the rear mud guard or on the rear
so it just makes it a lot easier to be able to lift it up besides that it is reasonably good
actually very good the build quality the front handlebar really doesn't have any play to it it
feels very secure the welds look really good and and their net front shock only helps out a little
bit with a few bumps and things but to mind a bit of travel around about one inch just over it's
better than nothing and then the air full tires of course they're not solar tires but they do
help soak up some of those bumps cruise control is Handy good display and I like the fact that
I can raise and drop the handlebar here too as another great feature of this and plenty of room
for my feet there now the pricing of it at the time of me doing this review it is about 800 us
dollars and they make later on have discounts or whatnot for it but I don't think it's too bad
considering you're getting that extra power and a few extras that other scooters don't typically
have there so thank you so much for watching my review here of the GeForce S10 e-scooter
