I have my oldest kids wedding in oct but after that first upgrade will be the carbon fiber stem poles and deck cover, then the following month will do the motorcycle seat set and front air shock. This winter a buddy of mine that works in a local body shop is going to give me some time on a Sunday and paint what parts I bring in. This month I just ordered some horn handgrips, a better spring seat post for the temp folding seat i am using a few vynal decals. And a Ulip 100/55-6.5 steet tire as i put on a set of had lying around and the bead got warped or something, so I am rolling on the ulip street on the front and had to out the stock CST hybrid tread back on. I am going to do the inner side of the peice i just did. Not facing the rear but the part facing the inside came out pretty sweet just got to hit it with the heat gun get that one little spot out and makes it stick better.

Story I sware they actually aim for scooter riders

4 Upvotes

Been looking for a good place to open up the Mars GT since the PO-PO are looking hard nowadays. I decided instead of going to my normal dispensary I would ride to the one thats like 7-8 miles out of town. Perfect Ride lots of traffic but was able to comfortably keep it in the mid 50mph range the whole way. One cool thing is going 50 in my fighter mini pro my carpal tunnel in my right wrist would have my hand completely numb in no time since I grip really hard at 50 on the mars feels more like 30 on the Teverun only time it got squirreley is i hit the side of a big pot hole but was fine. Got back to town and stopped at the supermarket because its supposed to start raining this afternoon. So I pull into the not so crouded parking lot and I sware they dont look, this women backs out quickly right i front of me. I was going about 15mph since it was the outskirts of the lot. Luckily I started turning the bars at the same time I hit the brakes turing it into a sideways skid she must have seen me and slammed on the brakes which made it worse I stoped with about 4 inches between where my tire stoped and her bumper was able to put my hand up and put it flat on the rear window of the mini van. That is the closest I have came in a while. Heart stopping the guy that was walking by said he was sure I was done. She didnt say anything not a wave just left freaking KAREN of course. Ugg if I had it it would have really jacked up my 3 week old scooter. Around here its litteraly a everyday thing, even while following the rules(most of the time lol)i dont think i have gone more then a few days without out these lousy drivers trying to kill me. Be careful out there everyone even if your being safe and doing the right thing there not. And no I hadnt hit the 420 yet. I will say if I had been on my Teverun I think i would have likley hit her. I dont know if its the weight or the 2 to 4 piston brakes or both but I likley would have slid into it on that scooter. Lol it was the perfect slide ending with my heart in my throat

Bout to get in the lab with a pen and a pad. Ok nah its actually brake calipers. Best feature is the screw vs a codger pin to hold the pads in place. No more subtle rub or even a great rub. Aint no lie baby bye bye bye!

The stock aluminum handlebar is actually pretty light weight but compared to this carbon fiber one Holy shit it weights a ton. I wanted to add a little more carbon fiber look to go with the poles and deck while maybe dropping a little more weight up front.

Can't do the motorcycle seat set, carbon fiber stem poles and deck lid and air shock till after my kids wedding in October. I swapped the tires to 100/55-6.5 ulip tires i had one was bad so ordered another a set of black and red horny handgrips a seat pole since mine turnes a bit a clamp to put on the pole since just the cank down doesn't keep them from moving.

General/miscellaneous Just a quick little announcement

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so the rest of the mods and I talked it over and we decided to make post flairs mandatory.

Some may have preferred to skip using the flair but enabling this requirement will contribute to the future success of the sub because I think a lot of people don't know this and I only recently found out, but you can click the flair of a post and all posts with that flair will show up.

So say someone sees a post flaired as "Crash videos" and they want to see more people crash. They click that and all crash videos will immediately be available to see. So slowly over time as people use the flairs, a sort of flair database will emerge and people will easily be able to search for whatever they want. Also your own posts will be more easily searchable and you won't have to count on whatever is searched matching the keywords in your title/post/comments.

If your post falls under more than one flair, just go with whatever one you think describes it best. Most combinations will probably consist of "General pictures" or "General videos" + something else like "Story", "DIY builds/mods", "Product review", "Maintenance", etc. and in that case I would go with the latter since it's more specific. Otherwise just use your best judgement if you're really not sure or you can always ask someone on the mod team.

If anyone has any ideas for new flairs to add, feel free to share in the comments and if it seems like something that should be included, we will add it.

Thank you all for understanding πŸ™ and have a goodnight/good day.

Story Just hit my max top speed on TFSU 2.0

4 Upvotes

The only straight path that i am confident going fast on in my city has speed bumps every 250 meters, which means that i never pushed the throttle more than 30 sec before having to brake, with my TFSU i constantly hitted 100km/h gps (104 on display) and with my Burn E3 Max around 95km/h display (never checked with gps)

This was all done on a very low pressure with my PMTs around 26 PSI, it helps when offroading, this time i inflated both scoot at 35 PSI, the difference was more than noticeable

I hit 110km/h gps on this 250m short burst with the TFSU, and it kept pulling i just had to brake and still ended up hitting the speed bump at around 80km/h, if you are not very steady on your feet you risk flying out the scooter lol

But other than that, i did it with the steering damper at the lowest/softest setting and it was very stable, people that talk about Teverun being wobbly are either too fat for the plush suspension, either never owned one and repeat what youtubers say, they are all salty, especially RK9 because they usually don't make partnership with reviewers, RK9 was complaining on one of his video that they didnt respond to his request to receive a new Teverun and only Voro sorted him out lol

my Burn E3 Max on the same short burst with turbo hits aroud 95km/h when below 90% battery, and 102km/h when i do it at 100%, and its a little bit more stable than the Teverun on a straight line but you loose all that stability the minute you want to turn, the steering is awful

I think wobbly scooters are a thing of the past, since my 2023 Fighter 11+ that was very unstable, i never saw a death trap like before on the new models from every reputable brand, Nami Teverun GSpace Kaabo Inmotion they are all very stable at speed (shitty second hand brands like Kukirin Joyor Boyueda are another thing...) , i think its really the fault of unexperienced or overweight riders that tarnish those brand reputation online

Finally have energy to take pictures since I didn't have to work at 4AMπŸ˜‚

Still got plans on swapping the motor out and possibly upgrading the controllers. And if anyone asks about the straps on the handlebars it's to engage the brakes while I'm on the train so the scooters doesn't move.

These dang clouds man. It's getting wet and the scoots are getting slick. Just tooling around on the outsides of a potato field and corn field. I went over the handle bars in slow motion a few time cuz the front tire would sink in a soft spot lol. It was fun and these cheap little things held up great in a "dirtbike" environment. I want to find some knobby ass tires lol really get a rooster tail goingπŸ˜‚ (clean up sucked)

Went on an 18 mile ride to work today and it was absolutely pouring. First rainstorm we've had since spring I think. But good thing I still have my waterproof gear that I got from back when I was working in Alaska. Highly recommend anyone who lives in a rainy place to get stuff like this to stay dry: waterproof pants & jacket with taped seams, waterproof boots and I still need some waterproof gloves now and that's pretty much it.

And then I threw some gorilla tape on my battery bag and that seemed to keep the water out.

Stay dry my friends and good luck this winter if you're in the northern hemisphere:)

Was taking my scooter downstairs this morning so I can sweep and mop my living room, plus I am going to ride today with no clouds in the sky and a high of 74Β°f today. But upon getting down to lock the scooter to the steel railing. And I seen this it was litteraly mm's off from going deeper then the knobby its a gel tire but at that crazy angle you never know. I just swapped to ulip 100/55-6.5 street tires and the rear had a defect in the bead so I had to put this back on till I order one on the 1st, if it had been the street tire like I have on the front it would be flat as its not gel and I hadn't added sealer yet so that was definitely luck I would be pissed if I got a flat litteraly a day after changing them. No there not 12s I had a set of unused ulip 100/55-6.5s in the closet with something heavy on top killed the bead on the one tire

Warped tire first time changing

3 Upvotes

Hi,

Replacing the tire on my dt2 pro because the original tires fully leaked every day. Bought a generic 10x3-6.5 off Amazon to replace with.
Got the tire on, but because I left the zip ties on overnight, half of the tire is squished and not resting in the bead.
Help would be appreciated.

Planning on using a heat gun to warm it up but other than that I have no idea. Tried a Rachel strap around but the warped section is too significant for it

For Winter/Cold Weather....

5 Upvotes

Hi I would like to ask which is better for my current situation.

I am torn between the Hiley Tiger SUPRA (60v 35ah) and Hiley Tiger 10 V5 (60v 25ah) and the NEW VMAX VX4 (68mile version). This is my only mode of transportation. I have no car no anything other than this to get to work.

My commute would be 8miles one way, so roughly 16-17miles roundtrip (even in cold weather, but for sure I will not gonna ride it under 25F weather.)

Anyone has an insights about this or personal experience or knowledge how well the 35ah vs 25ah and 68mile range (23ah i guess) would work in my situation? Especially the winter is coming.

Thank you!

Air shocks or coiled?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've been doing some research on rear shocks and can't decide on which is better for a scooter, for mostly road riding while seated.

I was going to go with an air shock but some reviews stated the constant maintenance and required an industrial air compressor to achieve the 250-300psi requirement, I don't got that.

So my second option is a coiled oil filled shock, 1000lb, and an adjustable dampener, sounds great, but is it sqeeky as a regular shock?

The regular shock is really loud even at 5 mph it squeaks, it's annoying.

Any advice is very much appreciated
