hi i'm chris and this is an electric scooter that i think is probably better
than the xiaomi scooters that i've covered and owned myself this is called the g-cycle l-10 pro
now the rtm pro's got a few good things going for it it's got an excellent build quality it has full
suspension it's only short travel suspension but at the front we've got about an inch and a half
and at the rear about an inch of travel with a suspension 10-inch airfield tyres that are 2.125
inches wide we have a drum brake at the front and a rear electric brake now the rear motor in this
is up to 500 watts peak and the battery that's powering it all located here in the deck is 12.5
amp hours which they claim should be good for around 26 miles or up to 40 kilometers
in one of the lower power levels speaking of which we have one to three power levels with it got a
front headlight rear tail light and it does have a foldable design so the handlebar can simply be
dropped down in a matter of seconds for stowing it away under say stairwell or getting it into
the boot of the car the scooter weight well it's not too bad it's just over 20 kilos
inside the box of the l10 pro we do get our charger which does take about
four hours to charge the 12.5 amp hour battery and an instruction manual now i really like the look
of this scooter and its build quality is very good it does have a solid frame with some good looking
welds around here now the paint job this is matte and we do have a front shock as you can see now
the front shock travel is only approximately about an inch it's not really a lot we do have plastic
mud guards both front and rear and a reflector on the rear mudguard as well as quite a bright
tail light here that we have now this tail light when you brake will flash red we do also get a
bit of travel here with a rear shock setup but it's not a lot just like the front shock
only about an inch or in fact less than that with travel but it's better than nothing
the l10 pro does come with a drum brake up the front which does work quite well it is adjustable
and our tires these are 10 inches by 2.125 and like any airfield tyres they are susceptible
to punctures so i highly recommend you put an anti-puncture solution in this
something like slime would be ideal the deer care has a nice rubber grip to it and we've got the
hook here now that hooks for the handlebar that when you fold it down which i'll show you shortly
you can hook it onto that and then lift the whole scooter right up the scooter weight is 25 kilos
right here we have our battery so the battery is inside it's not removable it's 12.5 amp hours
with a claimed range of 40 kilometers or 26 miles it has a sturdy kickstand right here that doesn't
rattle around but i have noticed that it is a little bit too upright for my liking here it is
quite easy for the scooter to tip over if you're not careful so what is powering the g-cycle l-10
pro here is a peak 500 watt motor in the rear hub i do prefer this a rear wheel drive than front
wheel drive scooter which is what the xiaomi's have i find that to be a little bit more dangerous
and i just prefer this setup the headset at the front here has no play to it and then
the handlebar being collapsible does have this mechanism right here so you need to press in this
little red security and then pull down the lever and then you're able to drop down that handlebar
which makes it a little bit easier for example to fit it into the boot of a car but as you can see
here in my estate it barely just fits in the boot so you do need quite a large boot or trunk for the
l10 pro and there's a powerful headlight here in the front which does light up the path ahead of
you so it's really good for safety on the left we've got our brake and there is a little bell
here now this brake is both the mechanical front drum brake and an electronic rear brake and on the
right the accelerator right here now if you press it just now that's not going to do anything you
need to kick off first which is good for safety so you don't accidentally touch this and have the
scooter launch off the grips that it does have on here they don't move about which is good and we do
have a cruise control function with this right here battery bar here so each one of those five
bars represents 20 battery and then we have three different power levels now my biggest complaint of
the screen is that it is simply not bright enough and direct sunlight is quite hard to make out
we have our power button right here and when you do press it there's a little beep for confirmation
now i'll hook right here that hooks into the deck it does end up getting as you can see a
little bit of scratches and things on it from that metal hook the paint's come off on it already with
only limited use from me so starting out here with the g-cycle l10 pro you do need to kick off first
and then pressing down on the accelerator away i go now you can see i do have plenty of room
here for my feet on the deck i don't feel like it's too cramped there's plenty of space there
for my us size 10 feet not a problem there at all up ahead i've got a nice test here for the
suspension on the front which really only has about an inch of travel now this climbs about
10 degrees the scooter can handle climbs of up to a 15 degrees slow and there's a little bit
of a rough patch ahead now it's not exactly an off-road scooter but it's handling that actually
really well and the climb i can feel it's slowing down a little bit but the 500 watt motor there
peak 500 watts did a really good job of getting me up there no problem so a few
bumpy bits ahead but the airfield tires and the suspension doing a good job
now it is going to be ideal for something like this but just flat commutes where you need to
go from a to b short distances you can handle that not a problem 12.5 amp hour battery it's supposed
to get up to around about 26 miles and of course depends on the power level you're using i'm using
power level three which is the maximum climbing performance now so what i'm tackling is about
15 degrees and that is what they claim is the maximum here for the ltm pro which is
doing fine with the 500 watt motor i'm able to get up this it has slowed down however to about
20 kilometers per hour instead of 25 so you lose a bit of that top speed but not an issue
as long as it climbs under 15. if it's over like this test right now that i'm doing this
is 20 to a 25 almost 30 degree climb it struggles it slows right down to about 8 kilometers per hour
now braking performance from about 25 kilometers per hour which is the top speed which is now
i do find to be reasonably good and i like the fact that the electric
brake engages first which is of course where the motor is so the rear wheel and then the
front so braking performance on the ltm pro i think is quite good i do like it
and i have made it down here to the end of the beautiful coast
in denia this is in the costa blanca area of spain really nice day for this and an absolute joy
with this l-10 pro it's handling the roads really well thanks to the 10-inch airfield tires
and the suspension even though it doesn't have a lot of travel it is certainly helping out
now to put the suspension and these tyres to the test this is a
very bumpy rocky road here around the coast and the suspension is doing a little bit
i can certainly hear that front shock working it's a lot better than nothing of course
and it's doing okay i could not comfortably but easily go around the coast like this
and it's certainly a lot more comfortable than a hard tie scooter or even a xiaomi scooter with no
no suspension at all so how did it fare with my range test and that is around the town here
all along the coast and i've managed to get 24 kilometers out of it and i have one bar left
with the battery now there is no actual odometer or trip meter on the display which is a little
bit disappointing there to gauge just how far it could actually go now i do believe if you don't
use the level 3 power level which i was using all the time i pretty much just cruised along at 25
kilometers per hour everywhere i've done some climbs i do weigh 81 kilos so if you're lighter
and you're not climbing you're on flat good roads and good surfaces you should be able
to get i would say around 25 to at least 30 kilometers out of this on a single charge which is
a little bit more than what i was getting out of the xiaomi scooters that are about the size
here and i believe that this scooter here is better than those xiaomi's that i have reviewed
i like the front suspension rear suspension even though it's only just a small amount of travel
it actually does a good job to soak up some of those lighter bumps we have the earful tires which
yes are prone to punctures so i do recommend putting an anti-puncture solution in them
and because it is rear-wheel drive i find it safer than the xiaomi's the xiaomi's
have an electric with their motors in the front and before i've actually had an accident
with some smooth surfaces at an angle they've hit that front wheel while i've been accelerating
and it's slipped and gone like that on me and you've got less chance of that happening with it
being a rear wheel drive motor which is excellent so my complaints with the scooter are very minimal
the display very hard to see in direct sunlight i wish it was an oled display would fear a lot
better and then the kickstand i think it's a little too upright it's already falling down on
me twice in my time testing it and being careful with it which is just a small little thing other
than that the build quality the ride the comfort of it the power it has with those climbs 500 watts
i think is excellent so it is a great scooter and i personally think this is better than the xiaomi
scooters thank you so much for watching my review and i hope to see in the next one bye for now
