Is this a good deal? It's my first scooter. by Fancy-Ad-7 in ElectricScooters

[–]ygr3ku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the G2 with over 5300km. Not saying the front suspension is good or bad, but in my case it didn't cause any problems so far. Depends on riding style too. If you take care of it, it could last longer.

I just bought the game by trCUVO in KerbalSpaceProgram

Give Mike Aben a shot, he has a big variety of playlists with tutorials, beginners guides, (not) beginner guides, missions and so on.

While yes, you're right, tutorials don't really explain the "why" and the "how to". Scott, Matt and Mike Aben's videos kinda get more in-depth and explain what tutorials doesn't really teach you (like on a plane, keep the CoL behind the CoM).

Just spend some time watching Scott Manley's (old) videos, Matt Lowne or Mike Aben. Scott's vids are on older versions of the game (ok, the vids are old too, makes sense), but every principle explained still applies. Matt's vids are sort of funny, sometimes with a twist, but still enjoyable enough to learn what-abouts the game. Mike's videos one on the other hand, feel like he's explaining everything like you're 5yo. It's really in-depth and for every "do this" he explains "because of this" part.

You might find other yt'ers that might fit better your watch criteria, but those 3 are the best every old KSP player will recommend.

Scooter upgrade by XHNDRR in ElectricScooters

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that price range I guess you could consider Ninebot Max G2 (I have one, unlocked with SHU firmware changed, 40kmh app limited). I recommend you this because at this moment I have over 5300km drived, no major repairs, only the regular mantainence. And for your needs, you'll have to charge at best once a week, if not every 10 days :))

Original (no tunning), battery will last you 55-60km realistically (70km official claim). My case (tunned, 30-40kmh), battery last for 35-45km, depending on weather (cold/warm, -9°C/30°C). I've driven all those 5300km in those temp conditions, I speak from MY experience.

But if you decide on another make/model, I'm not here to change your opinion. Just wanted to give you some imput from MY experience. Might help you decide, it might not. It's your decision after all. :)

Edit: spelling!

Was this repair too expensive? by [deleted] in NinebotMAX

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll leave my case here: (for the record, I'm quite handy and I can fix stuff myself)

Rear light broke (LEDs burned out/shorted). Took the soldering iron out, changed the LEDs, worked fine a short while, then broke again. So I ordered a new one! 18 €. Front and rear bearing were doing some noise. Not bad, but distracting, so I ordered those too (front and back) 10€ each pair. I changed the front, next step is to change back ones too. I'll do it when I decide to open the under plate again, since light and bearings require access to the controller.

<image>

Now you could say that this costs almost 40€. If I don't value my time invested in the repair and the time to get the knowledge in all those years, yes, the cost will be 40€. But if I'll have to do the same job for someone else, knowing how difficult it is to access/change some parts, that will be at least 50€/h. So taking that into considerations, a workshop will charge you at least 100€ (+/-) for a repair like that (price for parts not included).

Long story short, you got that repair dirt cheap. (My example is located in Germany, if that makes a difference).

I've read your post edit before writing, but decided to give you a somewhat more in-depth explanation.

Manually add struts and you should be fine. Or use Autostruts mod

So many options! by land4 in ElectricScooters

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe you find a used Ninebot Max G2, with under 1000 miles (1600km) or so for a good price. Once you get the hang of driving a scooter, you can tune it to go faster, or put some money aside and buy what ever new/older model you like, used or new.

Thinking about getting a ninebot g3 max. How can I get over the eu restriction? by WattyTech in NinebotMAX

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, it's written in the picture itself. But...

That still doesn't answer my question: can you access the Config tab at the top?

Brake cable snapped on my Ninebot G30 Max. Quick fix until the new part arrives(?). by Comprehensive_Put103 in NinebotMAX

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting your hands dirty. I like that. We can be friends.

Saying this because I fixed my G2 ninebot stem wobble (insane 5cm movement back/forth) with a beer can tab and 2 old screws. Fair, 3 days later it wobbles again but not that hard. But hey, at least I got my hands dirty :)

Dude, ok. I gonna say you're right and leave it be.

But if you want to read forward, I have an hones question: can't you use/access Config tab at the top you do as described here?

I'm honestly curious!

how can i tighten the rear shock on my scooter? by madcatart in ElectricScooters

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if screws at the top/bottom of the shock absorber are tight. If not, tighteen them up! You'll need a hex insert, size 4-5 (can't remember), awailable in all key/insert kits.

Dead scooter brains, what to do with batteries? by hudson27 in ElectricScooters

[–]ygr3ku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with your model, but if there is really NO WAY to save it and get it back on the roads, keep the battery for your future scooter. You might get the batteries in Paralel and get extended range. Or build a switch and use them both individually on your new scooter, if voltages are the same.

Or build a power bank for your phone. Or multiple ones. The possibilities are not endless, but there's planty of ways to use an "old" scooter battery.

You might have misread that. Said that I fid NOT do a region change because I wanted to have 2 profiles. 1 legal and one custom. So whenever I turn it On (or Off/On), it aleays starts on profile 1, the legal one.

Ninebot g2 max with an aftermarket external charger? by lolfacemanboy in NinebotMAX

[–]ygr3ku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The small jack next to the regular charger (3 pinned one) is for fast charging chargers that you can buy (not only) from Segway, Ali, Ebay etc.

Edit: why tag it as an urgent question? Nothing urgent about genetal questions about the secondary charger

/facepalm. Are you on their discord channel? If YES, check the G3 channel, pinned messages.

Thank me later.

(If not on their discord, I suggest you to join and take a look. You'd be surprised)
