Cool intro music
very cool intro music
What's up guys this is Cody here and today we're going to be taking a look at this
awesome little scooter. Now first things first we do want to take a look inside
the box just to show you guys what we get there's actually not too much you'll
notice that we get a charger which is obviously very important and next we
have the uses manual. Fantastic. Now under the styrofoam we have the scooter itself
which is actually a hefty 27 pounds, so if you run out of battery out on the
road with this thing hopefully you're very close to a vehicle
because carrying this thing around is not going to be that much fun. So if you
guys have looked these up online before they don't really have a name so I'm
just gonna be calling it a scooter throughout the rest of the video. Now for
this first clip I was actually gonna show you guys me stepping on the scooter
for the very first time I thought it'd be funny, but it wasn't really that
entertaining because I nailed it like a BOSS! but my friend on the other hand,
didn't and you can tell by the look of his foot [eww] they didn't have a very great
first experience but let's go ahead and get into the review. So the first thing
you're going to notice about this thing is how responsive it is. Basically you
lean back to brake, you lean forward to go, you shift your feet left or right
depending on which way you want to turn it's really simple very natural feeling
as you can see and it's very responsive I mean you can tell that I am very agile
on this thing just by you know shifting my feet a little bit
it's even got those cool little lights right there just to kind of show off you
don't really need them they don't really work very well I mean if you're in a
really dark house or hallway then it works a little bit but they're really
just for show now in terms of battery they say that you have a 10-mile range
on a single charge but I didn't really have that type of range especially
outside just because I mean if you're going up and down hills it's going to
wear on the battery a whole lot more than if you're inside inside it seemed
to last a very very long time so just keep that in mind
so if we take a closer look at this you can see that I've actually scratched the
hell out of this thing just from riding it around now this is
from you know hitting curbs rolling over concrete you know you name it I've ran
this thing into everything you'll even notice paint marks from inside my
apartment but you'll see right up here that we actually have some bumpers on
the top you don't know what those are for when you bail off this thing going
ten miles an hour this thing going to roll so it's actually just kind
of as a protector for this wheel well right here I mean this thing is not made
to be pristine and I mean if you ride this only indoors it's very possible you
can keep this thing looking really nice but of course I have not done that
notice that though the build quality is actually very good it holds up really
well I mean this thing was rolling around like crazy even the wheels I mean
these aren't air tires so you're not going to get a flat it's a solid rubber
and it feels very solid and premium and right up here this is where you're going
to get your light indicator so if we roll this thing around so right here on
the back we have the power button so you have to press this every time you want
to turn it on it actually goes into sleep mode if you leave it on it's not
very long either probably like five minutes or so so that's really nice
because it conserves battery now right next to that we have the charging
station so this is where you're going to charge it but if we turn this on you'll
notice right here that were going to get a battery indicator basically telling us
that we have a good battery now if it's getting low it's going to start flashing
red and beeping at you so just keep that in mind that kind of gives you a little
pre warning that this thing is going to die and I would want to be on this thing
you know going 10 miles an hour when it dies I don't know what happens so you'll
also notice right over here that we have an indicator once we put our feet on
there so if we put this on here you want that to go green because that's
basically saying that they're connected and that you can ride it now if this
thing is red then you want to hop back off just because this thing has not
connected to this side so it can be a little wonky and kind of jack you up and
you probably are going to fall until this thing syncs up on both sides now I
probably could have got a free review unit from one of these companies like IO
Hawk or air board but I didn't want to advertise for them because their pricing
is ridiculous I mean I think IO Hawks around 1,800 bucks and air boards $1,000
I mean you can grab this off of Amazon for like 400 bucks that's what I paid
for so you can get a good deal on one of these you can even go to Alibaba if you
you know you're familiar with that there's going to be a little bit cheaper
but I decided to just go through Amazon you know and have them backed me up but
more or less these are all the exact same product the only things you're
paying for is a brand name so you probably don't want to do that you want
to stick with the one probably from Amazon I'll link the cheapest one that I
can find in the description below if you guys want to check it out so if you were
to ask me do I recommend this I would say absolutely I mean if you're trying
to decide between the Apple watch and this scooter I would say hands down
buy this scooter just because it is a ton of fun and in my personal opinion I
get a whole lot more utility and fun out of this scooter than I do out of my
Apple watch so that's just my opinion I mean I ride this thing every single day
at some point during the day just because well I mean it's fun even just
riding around the apartment if I'm going from my computer desk to the kitchen I
mean literally that far I'll just hop on this thing and ride it over so I kind of
stepped out of the box and did something a little bit different for a video not
iPhone relate or anything like that let me know what you guys think about this
type of video in the comments below of course you guys want to see more videos
like this on different types of tech then make sure you hit that like button
to let me know alright guys I'll catch you in the next video peace
