(Part 2) Best products from r/ElectricScooters

Ok...didn't realize I had to add a comment to add text to an image post. Anyway...

Long story short: first time I rode, I slipped and fell and had nasty road rash. The ignition on my scooter was fucked and I was in recovery for about 2 weeks.

Photos of my injuries when they were fresh, click at your own risk:

Here we are weeks after, everything has healed completely except for my shoulder and wrist. I sprained the shit out of it apparently. I bought some gear to keep me protected and this is what I use:

After doing some errands on the scooter today, two things I've realized: riding for a while really takes a toll on your legs, mostly calves and your hands really cramp up after a while (3+ hours). When I had the accident, I was going 20mph and while I was riding today, I realized why I fell. The speed never went down because with the Emove cruiser, if you hold the throttle for a while, it automatically activates cruise control. I figured out you can just turn it off by pressing the throttle twice but still, better late than never. Also I got a little too confident and went to the second mode instead of just staying on the first. I rode today strictly on the first mode and everything went smoothly. My only complaint is how stupid hot it gets where I live and I was drenched in sweat by the end of the day

Edit: I forgot to mention the smaller things I've attached to the scooter

Hey OP. Friendly neighborhood lockpicker here. I pick locks as a hobby and keep up with the security of a lot of the locks that are released. I also recently got a ninebot and therefore wanted a U-lock for it as well. The kryptonite lock you suggested here is actually a good one. I'd avoid the master lock cuffs posted above, master locks are notoriously shit and those cuffs are actually one of the better ones from them, but they're still shit. And I'd never get the last one you posted, I've never even heard of it and you'd likely be paying $20 to get your scooter stolen. As a general rule of thumb, if you care about something, you should care about spending the money for a good lock for it. That being said, here's the lock I decided on for my scooter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZT8KZ1/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_laC3Db2XXBFF7. I'd suggest that one or one of the other similar ones in that line. The kryptonite one you posted is likely still good, but I know that kryptonite used plastic covers over the lock body of some of their bike locks that could be destroyed with a heat gun or blow torch to easily open the lock. The one I suggested is all metal. Good luck with your lock needs.

I used this [solid tire ](OTBBA Solid Tire Replacement for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P5WZ9XL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) to replace my rear wheel after it was punctured. (Alternatively, you could buy a [solid wheel already on a rim](GAGAMO Wheel Hub and... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TQLCLV4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and save yourself a lot of effort.)

I put some water in a pot on a stove and heated it until boiling, and poured it into a bucket with the tire in it.

I let it sit for 20 minutes and took it out. It should be warm but not too warm to handle. It may have some white marks like rubber stretching, and there'll be a rubber smell.

I ziptied through one of the tire's holes and through the wheel rim and tightened so they stayed together as I worked around the wheel. With a good amount of effort, I used these [tire irons](Dr.Roc Tire Spoon Lever Iron Tool... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3SJ699?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) to put the the tire on the rim, not worrying about the tire properly seating in the rim. Once the tire is around the rim, use a closed pair of scissors to put through the tire holes and pry up to allow a tire iron scrape under and pull the tire to seat properly.

I did this only with my rear tire and haven't had tire problems since.

I'm using a Triple Eight Gotham. Sadly I've fallen a few times with it, but it's been great - I didn't even realize I'd hit my head until I saw the scuff marks.

https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Eight-Gotham-Rubber-X-Large/dp/B01N1MSK2E/ref=sr_1_3?crid=363H5MGS1NW1A&keywords=triple%2Beight%2Bgotham&qid=1559310754&s=gateway&sprefix=anker%2B%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-3&th=1

I think in retrospect I might've gone with a Thousand helmet for style reasons. Ultimately I want a TSG Pass, since while it's very expensive, it's a full-face design complete with a badass visor.

https://www.amazon.com/TSG-Solid-Color-Helmet-Skateboard/dp/B07GP5MYM6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tsg+pass&qid=1559310844&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Buy a valve extender with a built-in valve core. Milton is the one I use to inflate my M365 hard-to-reach valve - works well. And should allow you to continue using your current pump.
If you're keen on a new pump, I bought the BV one from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/BV-Ergonomic-Automatically-Reversible-Schrader/dp/B0085OUN1O Tis good.

UPDATE:
In case anyone was wondering or curious u/churrogod u/james_faction - I found a solution (though I believe this would only work with a 3/4 helmet. Found this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FDS95T4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on amazon and just hook the hooks together underneath the undercarriage. It's got 2 sets of dual flat bungee straps (basically 4 straps in total) which I just used to go around either side of the helmet so it doesn't move around, even if I bump it into anything. Would suggest for anyone looking to free up their hands and heads from your helmets while not riding.

I went with a Bell Super 3R, it has a removable chin bar, great ventilation, and is a MIPS helmet. Little spendy at $220 USD, but if it saves me from even one fall it's paid for itself. Also I use it with my mountain bike, so dual purpose makes the price a bit easier to justify.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GT86ZVL

I was just looking at these tires and they mention a helpful video, FWIW. On a Minipro board one guy said something about using cheap mini bike tools and zip ties. That's all I got--hardly sage, but I mean well. :)

Also have a huge head. I have this Bell MTB helmet and it's really nice. Not cheap but the chinguard pops off, and it has a liner (MIPS) that supposedly better protects against twisting forces. In general I suspect you want a mountain bike rather than motorcycle helmet.

https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Super-Adult-Helmet-Medium/dp/B07GT8TM26/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2WQ61PJ1OIW75&keywords=bell+full+face+helmet&qid=1569975729&sprefix=bell+full+face%2Caps%2C-1&sr=8-5

Also curious about this. I saw a couple of different style "solid" tires. One looked really interesting because the inside where the tube goes it was a bunch of walls that went across the tire. I was thinking those would possibly still give some shock absorption. So hopefully someone has tried it out.

​

Edit:

Like this:

I bought this flashlight mount from amazon and I attached my high power flashlight to it. You can pickup a good flashlight for like 40 bucks on amazon.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761RX64G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Something like this would probably work best. https://www.amazon.com/TUNAI-Button-Media-Remote-Control/dp/B07JQ8Q6X6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bluetooth+audio+remote+android&qid=1558799233&s=gateway&sr=8-3

​

Maybe you could mount it on the left side where the bell normally is.

I bought the Giro Reverb helmet and I really like it, it's simple, lightweight, and comfortable. Here's an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Giro-Reverb-Urban-Cycling-Helmet/dp/B008Z9GRQ4/

Thank you for the detailed comment, I dont have the scooter yet. I wanted to ask if the 60$ kryptonite you recommended could be a tight fit over the frame bar that I highlighted in the picture, is locking from the rear wheel/disc brakes also a viable method for shorter periods or time eg.going to grocery store in city center?

Edit: what would you think of this? Could it have any use?

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XCPH1S4/ref=pd_aw_sbs_200_2/258-5096114-5324401?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XCPH1S4&pd_rd_r=a8d50065-847c-4bf2-9106-10358856d0bc&pd_rd_w=OEBCD&pd_rd_wg=2eV0H&pf_rd_p=2dc4f796-cca2-422e-a5f2-34ec116afab8&pf_rd_r=1MRRH92HZB603GEJ9CXT&psc=1&refRID=1MRRH92HZB603GEJ9CXT

Ahh I was looking to get the Ninebot Max though I ended up getting a nanrobot D3 since I was too impatient to wait for the crowd funding thing to end and them send out the units. Looks great tho, enjoy it!

This set comes with elbow, knee, and wrist guards: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00GG7AYLG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A21875UNY3A7GG&psc=1

Has anyone been trying one of these? This looks like a feasible option if it is either big enough to fit around the folding mechanism? I think it is quite hefty but might be a good option. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6VMEC

I head Kryptonite locks are pretty good so I got this one which came with a mount.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XCP8Y8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

well known dashcams dont have any way to mount onto the handlebar.

the next best thing is to get an action camera, or any camera with the 1/4 inch thread. then use this adapter to clamp onto your handlebar https://www.amazon.com/iSportgo-Bracket-Bicycle-Bluetooth-Speakers/dp/B01KNICDOY/

so i am still using a Mobius action cam from 5 years ago or the Yi action camera.

I personally grabbed an ES2 and then got a used battery kit for $75 from eBay (I mostly care about the torque, not the range; but the battery I got ended up being in good condition)

I use this lock: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZT8KZ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I usually lock my segway outside. I use this u lock around the main column: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MREL334/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

​

I carry the u lock in a small backpack that fits it perfectly.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TQFC9N6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then flash your scooter as a m365 pro. It wont be one but it will be faster and have three speed modes and speedometer will work. I can a bit over 18MPH on the flats now in mode 3. The acceleration is way better too.

INSTRUCTIONS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75mQx0tf2xU

I got this as a scooter lock and it's working great for my M365.

I didn't want to put anything through the back tire because I didn't think anything would be strong enough, nor did I want to risk any damage to the brake disc. I hook it in a U-shape through my motor/brake cables, surrounding the lower part of the stem.

The small size is too small to slip the front wheel through, and it forces a tight fit against whatever you're securing it to. Locking it through the cables also means that if someone does manage to get it unsecured, they have to cut the motor cables, rendering it a very heavy kick scooter.
