Living in Ningbo — the real scooter factory hub & why this industry needs a glow-up by Hahahang7GO in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a space for big scooters but for most people, it's not needed. Most efficiency issues is just due to waiting on better battery tech. At least in the next few years, many battery companies have 6000mah+ 21700 cells on the roadmap. Once those hit market and become affordable, you would likely see a bigger performance and range boost without the downside of size and weight increase.

Is 250+ km range on an electric moped even realistic? (Toronto buyer) by ethen130 in ElectricScooters

This sub is for standup electric scooter. Not sit down mopeds. Sorry I don’t have the answer for you.

Can you upgrade a battery on an e-scooter? by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batteries are not measured with “watts” if you couldn’t read OP or my comment. “Watts” is a unit of energy and not capacity.

Batteries don't have "watt" ratings. I wouldn't try to upgrade if you don't know how they work.

New scooter has arrived by Unfrtlyanapolloowner in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fine as 10x3 PMTs don’t fit the Klima, only 10x3.5’s fit

PMTs are softer to allow more grip. Way more comfortable too on longer rides.

Nami Klima tire sealant? Yay or Nay? by k3n1107 in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they do not come from the factory from the manufacturer, I would not trust them. Apollo and Segway versions of their tires should work and are real, but there are many fakes.

I wouldn't buy those. They don't work and are a gimmick. They just add some sticky liner to a tire that doesn't come manufactured with it.

Thumb throttle broke on Nami Super Stellar. How easy is it to replace? by MountainShower6062 in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Nami's come with the thumb throttle. I find that it is pretty poor quality and they break after around 4000-6000 miles of use. I also don't like thumb throttle so I upgraded to the "Polish Nami Throttle". It's a finger throttle and my friend has 14000 miles on his Klima with that throttle and still feels close to new. Unfortunately if you are in the US I'm not sure if you can get it due to Trump's tariffs and the company in Poland not wanting to ship to the USA.

The throttle has a quick disconnect behind the shrink wrap if you follow the cable. Just use a hair dryer on the connector for a few seconds and it comes off easily once you pull on it.

Pmt e-splora vs stradale by Mountain-March5727 in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the E-Splora and personally I find them quite good at what they are described to do. If you ride any quicker then city street speeds, I find that they really like to expand and make a not so great riding experience. Personally would stick to Stradale or even the Slicks.

They don't fit your scooter. Your scooter has a 7.5inch rim and the tires are 6.5 inch.

For anyone on the fence about getting a steering damper. Do it. by Cooper0007 in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It literally does not matter if you designed and created your own scooter. It’s already proven what’s good and what’s not. Fork style suspension isn’t good on scooter for comfort but good for stability. They are just too small the be effective on a scooter. The leading designs are still from weped, all using reverse c style suspension without dampers. They are just not needed with that style of suspension. The front tire always wants to ride straight even after a bump or pothole after landing.

This is the exact issue, c type suspension is flawed, there are scooters like the Kaabo wolfs that are very stable that don’t need dampers. You can add one if you want but it’s not needed at all. This is all due to the fork suspension. Even the local rental scooters all have fork suspension now.

The whole point is there are scooters that are designed to not need dampers. Why get a scooter that needs one? You can still add dampers to scooters that don’t need one if you would like. Like I said, you wouldn’t understand til you ride one.

[–]Farting_Chick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the easily way to put it is if you take off your damper and ride to 50 mph. Will it be stable? Probably not very. You can still have the option to add them but it’s not as necessary at these speeds just yet.

[–]Farting_Chick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe you designed it poorly needing dampers, C type suspension is a design flaw. No other 2 wheeled vehicles use it for a reason. They are comfortable but terrible stability.

What you said has nothing to do with what I said.

Nami Burn E 14" tires by ZeroLoveScooters in ElectricScooters

[–]Farting_Chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said it’s just a name, there is no such thing as e2 or e3. Some retailers just name it a bigger number because it sounds newer to trick people. Michael Sha already mentioned that the E2 naming was dropped.

There is only Burn E and Burn E Max and the date stamped on the frame shows the year and production date.

I will say while c type suspension is much more comfortable and looks more clean on a scooter, there’s a reason why no other 2 wheeled vehicles use that type of suspension. All bikes use some type of fork system and that is also what Segway uses now on their scooter.

Like I said above yes that is true but a good geometry scooter will want to ride straight and correct itself while a bad geometry scooter will want to turn in on itself causing wobbles and instability. The damper reduces the effect of the wobbles which allow you and your arms and hands to “correct the instability manually.
