1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:08,400
Same thing. Ah, oh I got pooped on by a bird.

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Gross. What a terrible experience this has been. Hello, Short Circuiters. Today

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:19,360
we have the new kick scooter. These guys emailed us and

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
I said, "No, I don't want to unbox this thing cuz it looks like it's a kick

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,200
scooter that doesn't have a throttle." Well, it turns out it does have a

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,800
throttle. So, it won't be miserable like some of the other scooters I've tried.

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:37,400
And now I'm really stoked on it. Total range of What was it?

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,480
50 50 km range and I think 5 hours for a

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:45,120
full recharge, which does seem

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,880
a bit long. Wow, it smells like a new

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,120
something. So, you can get in here a little David. Make sure you

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:57,440
see all the stuff. What What do we got?

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,840
What do we got here? The recharger. Ah.

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:05,120
What else have we got? Okay, little

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:09,080
hex wrench or Allen key and I'm not sure what this is.

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:16,520
Is this for like inflating the tires? Some screws, charging information. The

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,840
use altitude is not more than 5,000 m.

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,800
I don't think that's going to be much of a problem. We're at sea level.

19
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280
All right.

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Making a mess. I don't know why.

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,520
Oh, yeah, it's just all one unit. Okay.

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Oh, man. I'm not sure how I was supposed to take

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:50,640
that out, but this is a bit awkward. It's out now.

24
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,360
Uh a bell.

25
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Yes, it does have a bell. Hey, this is like a safety thing. Hit

26
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,120
that bell. Subscribe

27
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:11,560
if you're not already. Oh, what is this? Okay, maximum load 100 kg. Do not put

28
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:15,240
one foot on the pedal or ground when riding. It's prohibited for several

29
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,320
people to ride at the same time or to take a child while riding. Why is it

30
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,560
called a kick scooter if you're not allowed to put your foot on the ground?

31
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:28,880
That doesn't make sense. So, how do you think this goes on? Bring this up.

32
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,320
Like that. And now, uh

33
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,240
You got to connect this bad boy. I I feel like it's the '90s and I'm supposed

34
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,320
to plug my mouse into this. Okay, there we go.

35
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,760
And ah.

36
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:49,720
And oh, this is probably what those bolts are for.

37
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Here we go. Beautiful. Some assembly required, but it's really not so bad.

38
00:02:51,480 --> 00:03:00,600
I've had to assemble entire e-bikes and it takes much longer than this. I prefer

39
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,440
e-bikes. It has got like a thread lock on it. Says there like a manual. People

40
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,120
joke about like, "Oh, let's throw out the instruction manual." But you you

41
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,360
really should read it. Okay, good enough for now. Check it out. It's got a tiny

42
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:16,040
tiny adorable kickstand. There's

43
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,360
regenerative braking. Very nice. Yeah, and of course there is a disc brake.

44
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Is there one on the front? Oh, yeah, there is. The front is where most of your braking

45
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:28,760
power comes from, at least on a bike and probably on a scooter as well.

46
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,720
So, let's do the peel. Do the peel.

47
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160
I'm sorry.

48
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Oh, no. Oh, this is Oh, no. No. No. No. What is this? Is

49
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:51,840
this a compartment that opens up? We'll go outside real quick here and

50
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,800
I'll like go around the parking lot, but I'm going to ride around on this for a

51
00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:00,880
week or two uh to really put it through the paces. Bring it to the gym, you know, show off

52
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,160
show off. Uh we still got some peels

53
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:07,640
right here. Peel. Peel. Oh, it's got a light on it. Did I

54
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,440
not even notice that? That's awesome. We've got a little cable management

55
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,360
thing as well. And let's turn this sucker on. Is there a key? Oh,

56
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360
attention.

57
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,640
Right, there's an app. I don't like the

58
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:27,560
idea that I have to connect an app to make my scooter work, for example, and

59
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:32,760
I'm hoping that I don't have to. A bunch of writing that I can't read.

60
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Um

61
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
There's a Oh my god.

62
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:45,560
I've wanted brake lights on my bike for so long. That is awesome.

63
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,800
It works with both brakes. That's so cool. Well, there's no manual, so I

64
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,880
don't know what I'm supposed to do other than

65
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,840
check the QR code, I guess. This is not

66
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:02,600
This is not the web page you are looking for. Uh I baked a different new. I guess

67
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,600
the app's not available yet.

68
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,840
Oh, maybe you do have to start kicking.

69
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Oh, you're right. I think I can hear the disc brakes

70
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,720
rubbing a little bit. Um Get a close-up on that noise. Hang on.

71
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Without a helmet, #don'ttrythisathome.

72
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,240
Woo. Well, here we go.

73
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Hmm, I thought it went faster than this. Well,

74
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400
I guess this is my life now.

75
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Yeah, this is 15. Wait, it's supposed to go to 25.

76
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:47,600
Yeah. Don't tell me I have to use the app to

77
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,480
unlock the last 10 km/h.

78
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:54,760
And Jono has escaped with the scooter never to be seen again.

79
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,040
All right, I've been riding around for a while, but before I tell you about it,

80
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,720
today's video is brought to you by Manscaped. Their Lawn Mower 4.0 offers

85
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:26,000
20% off plus free international shipping using code circuit below. Okay. Wow, I

86
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,360
really like this thing, but as I

87
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,640
suspected, it does require the app to

88
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:37,640
unlock top speed and that's like my number one gripe about it and the number

89
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:42,080
one reason why I personally wouldn't But everything else about it is amazing.

90
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Uh the construction is really high quality. It's got all these safety

91
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,960
features like this light is always on and also, look,

92
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,880
I hit it twice and the headlight is actually quite bright and it actually

93
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,000
shows you where you're going. This hex wrench it comes with is a cheap piece of

94
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:03,600
crap. Don't use it. It stripped itself just on these four screws. I can't even

95
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,600
screw this one in all the way

96
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:12,280
anymore. I really actually like that you have to start going a little bit before

97
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,360
it the thumb stick will work as a throttle cuz otherwise I could just be

98
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:19,640
standing here and do this and woo, it's going to gallop away on me. That's also

99
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,480
a really great safety feature. Oh, oh, oh, here's check this out. We figured

100
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:28,000
out what this is about. Oh.

101
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Tada. You can carry it upstairs and stuff. Isn't that great? Did you know

102
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,360
about that? There's a little bit of wear and tear on

103
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,600
the scooter from where I've been, I don't know, putting my feet on it. It's

104
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:47,920
just a cosmetic thing. I'm not so sure how

105
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,080
waterproof it is. Um they say don't ride

106
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:54,520
it in the rain and don't ride it in more than 2 cm of

107
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:59,760
water, which is reasonable, but it rains half the year

108
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:03,920
in Vancouver. And speaking of Vancouver,

109
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:06,120
um the laws in British Columbia say that

110
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:11,960
you cannot ride an electric scooter on the road or sidewalk. So, so So, where

111
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,240
can you ride it? Um by the way, any footage you see of me riding this on the

112
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:20,120
road is Photoshopped. Definitely, I did not do

113
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,080
that. It's not legal. Speaking of not legal, this thing, once you do finally

114
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:32,240
unlock it with the app, it can go 32 km/h. For you Americans,

115
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,960
that's 20 mph. That's really quite fast.

116
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,599
Any more than that is going to be dangerous cuz you don't have a seat, you

117
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,000
know, stabilizing you. You're supposed to keep both hands on the handlebars, so

118
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:46,800
you can't really signal. It feels stable. It feels centered. Like

119
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,880
I love everything about this except for

120
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,800
the app. And this is going to be the new

121
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:58,000
standard by which I judge all other electric scooters. Do you trust some

122
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,080
Chinese company you've never heard of with your data? Cuz it needs Bluetooth.

123
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:07,800
It needs your location and it needs a Wi-Fi connection to work. You can't even

124
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:11,560
like transfer ownership of this thing unless you have the app and you have to

125
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:16,200
disconnect from the app so that you can reconnect to another app. Replacement

126
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:19,360
parts and your warranty stuff, like all that info is in the app and I bet that

127
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,840
if you call in and say, "Oh, I'm having a tro some trouble with my scooter."

128
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:27,560
that they're going to require you to use the app to like get the diagnostic

129
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,560
information. I used a burner phone to connect to this thing cuz I just I don't

130
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:37,160
trust weird apps on my phone. By the way, the app requires you to watch a

131
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,800
safety video and uh travel for 2 km at a

132
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:45,560
low speed before it unlocks the full

133
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,200
speed. If you don't care, then sure, go

134
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:50,840
for it. But it makes me very uncomfortable and frankly, I'm not going

135
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:55,960
to review another scooter or electric vehicle that requires an app ever again

136
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,800
that. I I had some problem with like Bluetooth connectivity and then a bird

137
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,560
pooped on me. No network connection. Rice and chopsticks. No network

138
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,440
connection. Anything.

139
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Oh, I got pooped on by a bird. Gross. What a terrible experience this

140
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:17,360
has been. There's no footage of the actual poop, but like why would you want to see that? It did happen. Hill

141
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,280
climbing. It's good. I could go up one of the bridges nearby at like 25 km an

142
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:27,040
hour. It It really doesn't struggle with it too much. It's got some torque to it.

143
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:32,360
You cannot see the screen in broad daylight. It's You just It's It's

144
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,720
dangerous to even try to look at it cuz you got to like like like cover it up

145
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,480
with your hand to be able to see. Check this out. When you turn it on it goes to

146
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:44,680
88 mph. Screen's not great. They say that the

147
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:50,200
maximum range is 50 km. I didn't manage to figure out how far I'd gone on a

148
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,360
single charge, but I think it's probably

149
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:56,160
pretty close to that. The faster you go the more you're going to burn through

150
00:10:53,360 --> 00:11:00,360
the battery. I did not have battery range anxiety. Like if it runs out of

151
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,920
battery, it's not fun. You're not going to be going very fast and probably

152
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,000
you'll just end up walking with it. And then and then scootering down hills.

153
00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:12,960
They say that this is like a last mile transportation thing anyway. I can

154
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:19,880
totally see this being really useful to take on the SkyTrain, but like you can't

155
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,080
bring it to the gym. I tried that and

156
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,040
guess what? There's no place to hook up

157
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,960
a bike lock. So you can't leave it outside. So you got to leave it inside

158
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,360
and then I couldn't get through the rotating doors.

159
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,600
What are you going to do with it when you get to where you're going? With like the Boosted Board it's small enough that

160
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,120
you can just carry it with you. This thing is is just a little bit too big. I

161
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:47,280
don't know how heavy it is. Well, I got to I got to weigh this. I forgot to weigh it. Oh, there's a there's a

162
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:50,960
locking feature. First off, I need to crap. It's not connected. No, I don't

163
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,080
want to do that. I swear No, there's supposed to be a little Bluetooth icon

164
00:11:52,839 --> 00:11:59,640
here. There's supposed TO OH MY GOSH, IT WAS THERE UNDER NO

165
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:04,440
INTERNET ACCESS. Did you see that? It was invisible. Okay.

166
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:11,320
Uh all right. So the app is not finished yet. Anyway, you click the lock button

167
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,640
and now somebody tries to steal it.

168
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:18,280
It freaks out and and the the electric brake is engaged to

169
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,839
maximum. I can hardly move this thing. And the regen braking is great cuz it

170
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:27,360
like it keeps you safe on hills. This is

171
00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:28,640
not even on Indiegogo yet. So

172
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,480
if you know anything about how crowdfunding can go, this will not

173
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:38,960
necessarily be the one that ends up being the final product. I don't know.

174
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,120
So just be careful with that. I think

175
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,600
the super early bird special is 500 bucks for this. Normal price is 700

176
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:51,560
bucks. I personally wouldn't buy it. I don't know. What's the conclusion, Jano?

177
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:55,320
Buyer beware. Don't ride like this. This is very irresponsible. All right, guys.

out some of my older videos. I just did one on the Monogram Creative

180
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:09,120
Console, but for electric bikes, I don't know. I still ride the RadMini. But

181
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:15,520
we've got some more electric vehicle bikes coming up soon if they don't get

182
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,080
stuck in shipping cuz of COVID. So see you later.
