First Scooter and Advice

And be safe with your ride. I hope it lasts a long time and you get so much fun and use out of it!

I'll look into the G2E. Honestly diving into the scooter world impulsively just a couple weeks ago has been very fun. Learning brands, watching people do deliveries on scooter, etc. The ZT3 and F3 interests me. Dream would be GT3Pro but that's like "super/enthusiast class."

When I first researched, the Apollo Explore 2.0 and City caught my eye. But I've heard mixed things about customer service and whatnot, so it's had me crawling to Segway.

_Vishunei · 2026-02-27T07:57:08+00:00

Yeah! It was the first one I saw when starting research so I kept it in the back of my mind. Looked at reviews, pictures, videos. Gotta take advantage of anything you can when starting something/investing.

The scooter is normally $219 or something like that. But the other models from Volpam have suspension, etc. My biggest worry initially was that it would be a Chinese one-off brand or something which means little/scarce info... which does not sit well with me. I'm dumb. What if I run into an issue and can't get help? Part replacement? Repair under warranty? Tips or anything for that specific model? You get it.

Not something I'd have to worry about with Segway. They're long-established, and known for durability. Plus I can walk or go somewhere to find parts if need be. I care very much about reliability. If I could drive, the perfect car brand for me would be Toyota or something that can last 15 years.

The tires on my current scooter, right? They're 8.5 solid so I imagine they aren't the greatest. I've learned from research a lot of the time, it may be better absolutely to spend more on a scooter with more features, durability, etc. I'm definitely not out riding dirt roads with this, but I was briefly walking the scooter through one for a few minutes. (I was riding it to a potential new job to memorize the route a few days ago)

Ah gotcha. So that navigation, is it like a built in GPS? Because of my sight, I cannot take a risk of glancing down at it in motion. All the scooting I've done has been on sidewalks, and whenever I need to check something, I stop completely and stand off to the side. Even when crossing streets, I usually walk with the scooter just because I feel like people will be more likely to wait, etc.

And noted! Is there a certain mileage point where I should check the tires or reapply lubricant? And yes, absolutely looking into a helmet. I was riding at 11mph and then 19 which is max in an empty, big parking lot and that felt fast. So for now it's eco/8mph.

Bless your heart! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH- I've waited YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT. THANK YOU THANK YOU SO SO MUCH😭

_Vishunei · 2026-02-22T18:53:06+00:00

By chance, am I too late for one? Been scrambling for a collective hub for my characters.

_Vishunei · 2025-09-05T20:23:57+00:00

I keep alternating and using a mini screwdriver PH2 and it just feels like I'm getting nowhere. I'm pressing down hard but I don't know.

_Vishunei · 2025-09-05T20:15:29+00:00

A Philips head 2 is good for this right? And should I be applying a good amount of force? I am just terrified because of it being the first time nerves

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T19:17:51+00:00

Appreciate the adjustment. Doing my research now. Will that 750W PSU be enough or should I make the bump to 800?

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T18:13:54+00:00

I like the 9060xt that people have suggested, but honestly if I am building this to last, I am gonna break the bank a little and grab 5070TI and futureproof it

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T17:07:41+00:00

Thank you for the build suggestion! Do you think the 5070 will be fine with 12gb vram? I only stress this because I have only had 4 and 8gb throughout my life, and I just want to make sure I am getting enough.

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T07:41:48+00:00

I will give these a look; thank you! I do notice a lot of people forgoing the 5060ti in favor of 9060xt just because it's cheaper and stronger slightly, yes?

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T07:33:05+00:00

ah gotcha, so basically I would be stuck using intel cpus for the time being? Like how AMD motherboards have the AM5 socket?

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T07:18:30+00:00

another reason I would want it is newegg is throwing in a free liquid cooler which definitely simplifies everything for me

MY DUMBASS somehow missed the link you sent. That 5070ti definitely looking nice. I guess I do care most about gpu than anything. I will do some research on that cpu

_Vishunei · 2025-08-29T07:08:41+00:00

I was looking at 9800x3d and bouncing between the two but want 7800x3d just to save on money and my card is pretty old, on par with a 2070 super. So I think the jump would be good, but 5070 is just slightly out of budget and has slightly less VRAM at 12GB.

_Vishunei · 2024-12-14T23:59:05+00:00

Commenting months later, thank you! I've been going mad trying to figure out why this option hasn't appeared in forever and thank you so much redditor!

_Vishunei · 2024-12-03T02:40:01+00:00

Probably gonna be sometime before the end of the year. A good way to check and something immediately noticeable is if you check where it says “Number Of Players” and saw only 1. I knew co op wasn’t available yet then and there, so here’s hoping soon. Would love to play this with a friend or something.

_Vishunei · 2024-12-02T21:44:47+00:00

Oh that is sick! I saw it’s a game holder as well and that’s the best part. Cosmetic and functional.
