High there as usually its me just a voice over
and you are watching review machines.
The other day we made a review of the newest electric scooters Citycoco, you may have seen
that video.
Today we have more powerful all wheel drive model and we are going to make the toughest
offroading tests of this scooter.
But the first thing I should say – we would test this vehicle in extreme conditions.
Frankly speaking this scooter is no cut out for that.
So don’t make the same things with your scooter, otherwise it may be broken.
We just want to find out the limits of the vehicle so do not repeat after us, you’d
better make some tea and get comfortable my friends, we are to start right now!
By the way It seems I am already a pro at pasting stickers doesn’t it?
Speaking about the scooter they are alike the previous models we reviewed, the main
difference is an all wheel drive.
That is why this scooter is considered for using not only on good roads, but also on
some rough terrain in cross country.
It may be good for going hunting and fishing and so on.
Well as I said we reviewed the similar models, but lets again refresh the main technical
details of these vehicles.
What a pleasure to unpack the new vehicle where not even a fly was sitting.
As I said the main difference is that now we have both rear and front motor wheels.
Each motor is 2000w power, so the total power is 4000w.
Besides there are two independent controllers, so you may choose yourself what motor to use,
rear front or all together – here it is the buttons for it.
The next difference that this model has an aggressive tire tread.
So as a fact we have all wheel drive and mud tires like a real offroader.
Then there are two batteries 21 Ah each.
Both batteries are demountable with comfy handles so it is easy to carry them.
The design of the frame is almost the same, the only new thing is a metal bottom case
to prevent damages on offroading.
On one hand its good, but the other side – it is an obvious anchor for getting stuck in
mud.
The suspension system is rather soft and comfy, we’ll se how it works in practice.
Then we see hydraulic disk brakes of both wheels and a leather two passangers seat and
there are back and footsteps for passenger.
The lights are extremely powerful, I think even more than we need in regular use.
The handlebar is pretty standard, there are big rear view mirrors, and finally big and
bright display with blue light, start button and smartphone holder, that’s it!
Lets move to the practice now!
As I said this scooter is cut out for cross country but we start this test on asphalt.
The first thing I noticed this vehicle is quite noisy unlike the previous models.
Certainly it is due to the tires, they are good for dirt but noisy for asphalt.
As to the handling – it is perfect!
The battery is integrated in the frame, it results it low gravity center so it is quite
good at handling.
Then as we remember there are two motors.
If we switch on them both we get an insane acceleration, it speeds up twice as fast as
previous models.
Then if you choose 2 wheels drive scooter you should take into account that the idle
run here is worse than at rear drive model.
Besides it is heavier, and the tires are aggressive, so all that results in less range.
But we will test it a little bit.
And now lets check the maximum speed.
Despite it accelerates much faster, the maximum speed is limited here.
Lets find out.
Well as we can see the maximum speed is limited at 60 kmh.
Well it is enough of asphalt lets move to the cross country.
And here they are the conditions this scooter is really made for!
Only in cross country we can feel all the advantages of the 2x2 version.
For example, now we have a dry road and it is possible to ride here on a rear drive scooter
without a problem.
But after even a little rain it will be too slippery for rear drive.
But here 2x2 drive with mud tires is much more comfy to ride even on a forest road after
rain.
It is worse on asphalt but definitely much better for cross country.
Besides it is so powerful, 4000 watts it is really a lot for the most cases.
I should say it is a great fun to ride this scooter on forest roads!
Speaking about the suspension performance.
It is quite important for the vehicle that is made for cross country.
The rear suspension works properly, it has enough travel for the most hummocks.
As to the front suspension…to my mind it is too soft.
On one hand it is good for comfort, but sometimes its travel is not enough for crossing serious
roughnesses.
The traction of both motors is enough to climb on hills even from the spot without acceleration,
and the hill is quite steep.
And now lets move to the really tough tests.
As we know we have all wheel drive and mud tires that is definitely good for offroading,
but for all that these conditions are too much for this scooter.
The matter is we didn’t make any additional waterproofing, everything is just in stock,
but if you want to go to real offroading, an advanced water proofing is strongly recommended.
Well two torky electric motors 2000 watts each provide quite decent performance, but
as I said the metal bottom cover sometimes grazes against the ground, that irritates.
Well now the scooter seems so dirty, lets wash it!
Actually to do such things as I mentioned you have to make an additional water proofing.
But we are interested how long the scooter will sustain such test without it?
Well I several times crossed this lake so to speak but the scooter is still alive.
Ok, lets keep on trying!
Finally I got tired to swim there and I just left the scooter in water and it was being
there for about 20 minutes.
And after that procedure the vehicle actually died.
Well lets get back on the ground, cause we still have one more test to do.
It is a new day, we charged the both batteries the scooter and now ready to start the range
test.
I will test the range riding on a rear drive, in theory in this way we will get the best
result.
I ride at a speed 40 kmh.
While we are riding I can tell you what the matter happened with the sunken scooter.
The water got into the bottom and flooded some electronical gears, but after we dried
it, everything again turned to be all right, and the scooter was ready to drive.
Well lets turn to the final result.
It is 76 kilometers.
The only thing we should discuss it’s the prices.
And the actual price is 1600 dollars.
And now lets call it a day, thanks for riding with us my friends, please consider subscribing
