Hi guys as usually its me jut an offscreen voice and you are watching review machines.
This time we have for a review something very unusual.
You see on your screens Doohan iTank – the newest electric scooter that consists of many
quite interesting engineering solutions.
Well this thing is worth our attention even in stock, but this scooter was completely
modified.
Now its not just an electric scooter, it is a real reckless electric cannon.
But first of all lets talk a little about iTank in a standard version.
Doohan iTank is a project funded by Kick starter.
It was kindly welcomed by the audience and the required sum was gathered very quickly
significantly ahead the schedule.
Most of all people liked this futuristic and a very unusual design.
I should say I also was impressed by the look of iTank.
A very bright design with some cyber punk motives, it is a real eye stopper that attracts
a lot of attention wherever it goes.
Besides the look it is also interesting by the construction.
It standard it is equipped with a motor wheel 2 kilowatts.
It provides 50 km/h maximum speed and the range of 50 km.
Two front wheels look greatly and moreover they provide stability on the road and more
effective brakes.
As I’ve mentioned today we have a scooter which is far from being in stock.
It was significantly modified it a tuning studio of electric transport.
First of all the standard motor wheel was removed and changed for much more powerful
electric motor.
Instead of 2 kw motor now we have here 7,5 kw one!
Consequently now there is a chain drive and the capacity of the battery was improved twice.
After such a modification the maximum speed is more than 100 km/h!
And the range seriously increased, now its up to 100 km with a smooth driving.
Then we have here an improved suspension, shocks, dashboard and some other stuff.
In the long run, the scotter now is much more powerful, fast and reliable.
-Today we’ve tested this scooter for the first time , and to tell the truth I am really
impressed.
Now its really an effective transport, and I thin the customer will be very satisfied!
Well its high time to have a ride isn’t it?
As any other serious electric bike it may surprise you by its quietness and smooth power.
The other day we made a video about electric Yamaha, you may have seen it.
So I knew about the possibility of electric bike and it was difficult to surprise me this
time.
Nevertheless the bright design of this scooter together with its performance impressed us
quite seriously.
It is very stable on a road, quite predictable and so responsive to a throttle.
The stability on a road results from the unusual three wheels design.
Two front wheels absorb and equilibrate all the roughnesses and provide smooth riding.
By the way I suppose that such a construction with two front wheels provides more safety.
If one of the two wheels for example runs into a hole, the bike will keep stable unlike
a regular bike.
The front wheels have a travel 180 mm relative to one another, so theoretically it is able
to overcome some obstacles with such height.
Well and now lets find out the maximum speed of the scooter.
As you can see the scooter hits 70 km/h just for 6 seconds.
It was rather dangerous to go faster there bad I suppose that it is able to do zero to
100 in less than 10 sec.
I think it’s a good result for an electric scooter.
When I rode it myself, first thing I liked its how it behaves on a road.
I am not a pro rider, but it seemed to me that it was so stable and predictable!
Besides I really felt the power of electricity here…smooth power.
Then it produces an impression of high quality bike.
Nothing here is creaking and dangling.
To my mind iTank will be a perfect transport in small towns where your daily rides are
within 70 km to be consistent with the range of the scooter.
In this way its almost ideal: little maintenance, reliable, almost noiseless, no exhaust, eco
friendly.
And the most important advantage is that it doesn’t need fuel and electricity nowadays
is much cheaper.
By the way due to the suspension with three wheels it is rather stable not only on a flat
road but even on a rough ground in parks for example.
And I think it is interesting to mention the prices.
The price of a standard version is about 3000 dollars but if you want a modified version
like you saw in this video it will cost other 3000.
Well guys please leave comments what you think about this scooter iTank and if it is worth
to convert it into a more powerful electric version.
And now lets call it a day, thanks for watching guys, please subscribe the channel if you
liked this video, it will be many more interesting materials here, good bye!
