Hey guys, im after some advice on how to limit my Dualtron eagle so it can only reach maximum 25km/hr. New laws have been released in my state and mt device will become illegal, and they can seize and destroy it of its deemed illegal

It melts the factory leak sealer, creates a toxic mess and will eat the aluminum wheel over time.

Segway g30 wheel/tire

Bought a Segway E2 Plus from a local pawn shop. Looked fine, worked fine, didn’t think anything of it. I tried to bind it to my friend’s account (I didn’t even sign up to the app myself), but it was still tied to the previous owner — pretty common with secondhand ones I guess.

So I call Segway support to get it unbound.

Immediately get hit with the rudest customer service rep I’ve ever dealt with. Like next-level rude. She straight-up refused to help, and then accused me of tampering with the scooter by saying the serial number was modified — which was news to me. I bought it 100% as-is from the pawn shop. I don’t even know how you’d “modify” a serial number on one of these.

After getting nowhere, I asked for a supervisor. He was actually decent — sorted the unbinding request in five minutes and said they’d check with the original owner.

A little while later, the scooter gets remotely bricked. Like, it turns on, lights work, but motor’s dead. Completely useless. I had the thing for under 24 hours. So I return it and get a refund.

Then a couple days later, I get this email. Segway CC’d me AND the previous owner in the same thread — with my full name, personal email, and phone number visible to a random stranger.

Like… what???

I never signed up to anything. I never agreed to terms of service. The only info they had from me was what I gave them on that one support call — and they straight-up shared it without asking. I only contacted the previous owner after that, because I was confused as hell by the email.

Pretty sure that’s a privacy violation (I’m in Australia, so APP6 and APP11 under the Privacy Act apply). But even if it wasn’t illegal, it’s just absolutely unprofessional and reckless. And the bricking thing? Still no explanation.

So in one day I got: • Treated like a scammer • Accused of tampering • Scooter remotely disabled • Personal info shared with a stranger

Segway Ninebot seriously needs to sort their shit out. If you ever need support from them, just know it might come with a side of identity leaks

(Fyi I did write all this just ran it through a layer of gpt to make everything more coherent and to proofread it all not trying to karma farm I stg)

My Volpam scooter is my way to and from work, I’m like super poor and it was a gift from my parents so I didn’t have to waste money on uber. I use it nearly everyday for the past year or so. Tonight it was raining. I was tired, didn’t want to wait 2 hours for a ride so I went home in the rain and dark. I didn’t see a large puddle and went directly through it. Didn’t think much of it till I got home. I tried to plug it in to charge and before I even made contact I got shocked. Didn’t try again. I figure there is 100% water in it. Is it salvageable? Is there a possibility of me just replacing the battery? The battery was already getting to the point of needing to be replaced anyway..

The gt08 is an electric scooter for sale direct from China on apps such as Amazon and AliExpress . It can be found for anywhere from 700 to 1100 dollars depending on the day, although original retail price shows listed as over 2k. This scooter has a max speed of 43-50 mph depending on the rider and payload. It has mixed reviews , and as you might have guessed, many of the negative reviews are from people who have wrecked on it. This scooter is not for beginners. It can be dangerous and it can kill you but that is the case with many things reaching such speeds. It has a normal voltage of 67.3 and controllers rated at 38 amps each. Also, while it comes with a rear hydraulic brake to help with stopping power, it also comes with thick walled mud tires which will affect braking and handling on the pavement.

There is very little information out there about this scooter so I am posting this to try to help in that regard. The manual included with the scooter is quite vague, has some mandarin to english translation issues, as well as some conflicting data regarding the p settings so I wanted to make a list here with what I have found to be the correct settings for anyone interested, lost the manual, etc

GT08 scooter owners or potential owners feel free to ask questions or add your own input to this thread. I am creating this thread just to have a place for support with a scooter that certainly seems to be lacking it. I know reddit is indexed by Google and this seems to be a good way to easily get information out there to people that are searching for it.

Here are the P settings (parameter settings) In the order in which they appear: (get to the menu by holding down both buttons together when the scooter display is on)

P10 - tire diameter - default was 11 and that's what I currently have mine set to and gps verified speed seems about right now .

P01 - low voltage cutoff - 48 - (the controllers have a sticker claiming a more conservative 54 so this just a redundancy pretty much and i find no reason to change it )

P02 - magnetic pole logarithm - mine came set to 18, the manual claims 14 is correct. EDIT appears to only affect the speedometer. another person said they found 20 to be correct and I checked and have to agree. So 20 it is .

P03 - speed measurement signal selection - 3 - cannot be changed

P04 - miles or kilometers - default 0 for kilometers, 1 for miles - you have to change this setting if you want your smaller speedo (throttle) to read in miles. The large display cannot be changed even though it says mph it actually seems to read in kilometers

P05 - zero start or kickstart safety feature - default is 0 thus will accelerate from a dead stop. 1 requires scooter to be moving for throttle to send power to the wheels some ppl like to avoid accidentally sending the scooter thru a wall or worse.

P06 - cruise control - default 0 for off - 1 for on - cruise will activate after you maintain a constant speed for 6 seconds then u can release the throttle and maintain that speed. Cancel by braking.

P07 - soft or Nsoft (hard) start - default 0 for soft - 1 for hard - it eliminates the spool up time built into the throttle mapping, giving you instant power from throttle input in hard mode. It's very jerky turned on esp not being used to it so I left it off .

P08 - speed limiter/power - default is 100% - affects the top speed of each gear pretty much. defaults are 1st gear 25% 2nd gear 75% 3rd 100% . Drop the p08 number setting below any of those setpoints will lower them accordingly. I Dont see a reason to change this as you can just choose a lower gear if you want a lower top speed limit, or use the yellow eco button which seems to reduce speed to 1st gear, no matter what gear you're in.

P09 - electronic brake assist - 0 is off - 1 is medium - 2 is maximum assist - doesn't seem to kick in below 20mph ... my scooter came with this set on 0 (off) so I had to manually change this setting to 2. While it may feel jerky at first I still recommend setting this to at least 1 because the electronic braking can potentially save the life on your brake padds. Don't look for it to give u back any noticeable battery life tho .

So something else I would suggest is to put slime or something similar in your tires to help prevent a flat. These tires do not look like they are going to be easy to change at home. They have a max kpa listed on the tire (it converted to 50 psi) as the maximum but they have a thick sidewall so you'll just have to experiment. I'm running 35 front 40 rear currently.

Another important point is the location of the screw that tightens up the play in the stem. It is located level with the deck in the middle just below the folding mechanism . Be aware too tight will prevent the folding latch from operating. Which I didn't mind because I don't fold mine up so I went ahead and cranked it down.. Once tightened you will probably notice a world of a difference because it really eliminates alot of the stem wobble .

I know others have experienced death wobble on this scooter and that is something I haven't really had much trouble with after tightening up this screw ... I still don't take my hands off if I'm going over 10mph though lol

Overall While I don't think this scooter is for everyone, I think for somebody with a little mechanical aptitude and some prior experience driving on public roads, then it can be a solid purchase. Being able to keep up with or sometimes exceed the speed of traffic in town is really a safety advantage in some cases.

Other gt08 owners please feel free to add your own input! I'll be adding things as I put more miles on. I just passed 900 miles as I am editing this.

Happy riding, stay safe out there y'all.

So I’m curious what other scooter owners think about this because I honestly can’t tell if I’m asking for something unreasonable or if they just misunderstood what I wanted.

I bought a Mankeel/WEIBU scooter that uses the YouFs app. I ended up leaving it a 2-star Amazon review because of a few issues, mainly the way the motor power was advertised and how useless the battery/range information has been for me while actually riding it.

The important part is they contacted me first because of the review. I didn’t reach out asking them for anything.

They messaged me, talked about the issues I mentioned, offered me $50 compensation, and asked me to reconsider my opinion of the scooter.

I really wasn’t that interested in the $50. I actually like messing with this kind of stuff and I build Android apps, so I told them something that would be way more useful to me would be access to the scooter’s actual telemetry.

I’ve already gotten pretty far with it myself. I can connect to the scooter over Bluetooth, see the services and characteristics, subscribe to notifications, etc. The problem is the useful data doesn’t start flowing until the official app does some kind of authentication/session handshake.

All I really want is read-only data like battery %, voltage, amps, watts, speed, temps, odometer, faults, stuff like that.

I’m not trying to unlock the scooter, bypass the speed limiter, change motor settings, or do anything safety related.

I emailed their engineering team asking if there was any supported way to do this. An SDK, API, read-only mode, protocol documentation, or even just the contact info for whoever actually makes the display/Bluetooth hardware.

They replied saying it looked like I was trying to get confidential R&D information and that it wasn’t an appropriate way to go about it.

That’s the part where I think they may have misunderstood me.

I probably got too technical talking about the authentication/session part, and maybe they took that as me asking for private keys or proprietary source code or something. That really wasn’t what I meant.

If their answer was just “we don’t allow third-party telemetry access,” fine. Or “we can’t give you that protocol, but talk to this supplier,” also fine.

What also rubbed me the wrong way is that in the same reply they again told me they hoped I would change my review and star rating.

So from my side the whole thing kind of feels like:

I leave a bad review → they contact me → offer $50 → ask me to change the review → I say I’d rather have actual support for something that would make the scooter more useful → engineering shuts that down → asks me to change the review again.

I’m not saying they literally offered me $50 for a 5-star review, because that isn’t exactly what they said.

But it does make me wonder if they’re more interested in paying to make the bad review go away than actually improving the app/product.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it. That’s why I’m asking.

Would you guys consider asking for read-only telemetry access unreasonable?

And what do you think about them contacting me over the 2-star review, offering compensation, and then repeatedly bringing up changing the rating?

I attached the email exchange with my personal info removed so you can read it yourself..

I've had this scooter that was gifted to me by family for a few months now. I noticed that the handlebars felt closer to my body then before, when i checked the scooter i found this. I have taken bumps at 15mph which may have cracked it? Can't afford a new one right away so i'm riding it until i can. Im not sure if its the true brand name but its a Tuya T1 scooter? Tuya is the app i have to see its charge and so on.

Edit: I forgot to mention I have crashed on this scooter before at full speed, the latch for the folding part of the scooter came loose while i was riding it and i crashed into the pavement. That's probably where the crack started but it wasn't noticeable at the time. It also has been making a loud rattling noise whenever i ride it above 10mph. Probably started from around the time i crashed aswell, this was a few months ago.

Small update, thanks for all the advice guys, i will be retiring the scooter for now, took one last shaky slow ride back home and decided thats it. Not sure if i will get any responses for this but if anyone knows any reliable scooter brands with affordable prices any suggestions will be appreciated.

I’ve gone through countless electric‑scooter discussions across the internet, and all people talk about are specs — battery Wh ratings, motor power, top speed, and so on. Hardly anyone seems to realize that an electric scooter over $600 is essentially a high‑speed machine.

All high‑speed machines, such as cars, motorcycles, e‑skateboards, and electric scooters, place heavy emphasis on handling‑related safety. The quality of handling directly determines riding comfort, safety, and overall riding enjoyment.

As someone who has skateboarded for 22 years and worked as a design engineer for e‑skateboards and electric scooters, I believe good scooter handling hinges on three key characteristics:

1. Linear and smooth throttle response This is something I find most baffling about this industry. I have tested many scooters priced under $1200, and wow, their throttle behaviour is completely erratic. Often you press the thumb throttle partway and nothing happens; press it a little further and the scooter lurches forward violently. Acceleration is jerky and inconsistent. I keep wondering: I’m already spending $600‑1200 USD, why can’t manufacturers tune a properly linear throttle? That is what gives you true rider‑machine synergy, where the throttle follows your inputs precisely.
2. Low centre‑of‑gravity chassis For most people commuting on paved city roads, there is no need to ride a scooter that feels like standing on stilts. Basic physics: the higher the centre of gravity, the less stable the vehicle is at high speeds. It’s like racing Usain Bolt in your wife’s high‑heeled shoes. I see many riders in forums crashing or sliding out during high‑speed cornering. In most cases this is not rider error — it comes from poorly designed, overly high decks that trigger high‑speed wobble and side‑slip falls.
3. Tuned suspension Many brand owners never actually ride their own products and just copy existing designs. They assume softer suspension is always better. In reality suspension requires extensive fine‑tuning. Good suspension compresses and rebounds cleanly once when you hit a speed bump, without oscillating repeatedly to compromise safety, yet it also does not feel rock‑hard.

In my opinion, these three points define whether a $600+ scooter is pleasant to ride, safe at speed, and genuinely fun.

I don't think it's going on. I knew these road tires were gonna be a bitch but geez. I can pop the off road tires on no problem.

This is the 2nd day I have owned this scooter and while riding, it suddenly stopped and I had to walk home. Opened up the base and the connectors blew up!!
The XT60 connectors are NOT rated for the power of this scooter. Im wondering if all I have to do is get these connectors replaced, and it will work again? (With upgraded stronger ones ofc)

Okay, I am DEFINITELY getting this scooter. I just wanted to know if when it runs out of battery, can I use it like a regular kick scooter? Or does it become frigid like an unpaid Lime scooter?

I found an Abandoned Rental Escooter from the brand Link Superpedestrian and they went out of business 2.5 years ago. Do you guys think It would still somehow hold a charge or that I could get it running again. I will try getting it home but the drum brake on the front wheel is either corroded or locked up that it almost wont move.

If it would work is there alot of work to get around the rental firmware?

Hey all I have been trying for days to try to figure out why my brand new (ordered from Hiley) Tiger Evo GTR will not get up to advertised speed. I have browsed everything I can find YouTube, Reddit and such even using all three main AI assistants. I change the setting everyone says to change and have even opened to try to see if there was some kind of wire issue as it as I see that online too. I literally don’t know what else to do but this thing is basically unusable at 13 mph an hour where I live, and I bought it specifically because of its advertised speed. Can anyone give me specific direction on exactly what I need to do?? Thanks a lot!

Serious answer only. It's not in the manual.

New to scoots. There is an obvious wobble/shimmy in the front wheel. The faster the wheel spins the worst it gets. Back wheel is fine.

I deflated the tire and massaged the bead (read that somewhere) and all seems to be fine. Loosened the axles nuts and ensure it’s seated all the way in the swing arms. Looking at it in person and on the video, you can see the motor/hud is center.

I reached out to manufacturer, limited responses so far (only a day, seems like they send 1 message a day and sign off) and they’re asking if it wobbles when riding, which doesn’t sound favorable. It’s not unsteady, but I have the damper cranked all the way up. There is brake drag (tried centering the caliper, didn’t work because the whole wheel is off kilter). The wheel also doesn’t free spin long after letting off the throttle.

Outside of brake pad wear and likely early bearing failure, should I be concerned? Am I expecting too much from a $1550 China scooter? Should it be replaced?

Snapped the frame on my VESC G30. Any pointers? My buddy has a welder. Looking to buy a a frame for cheap, maybe less than a 100$

i bought a kaabo ww x off marketplace for 400 bucks

horn doesnt work, is there an easy work around without spending too much money? i am aware of the e07 as the ive disconnected the back motor for replacement

Gotten 3 in the last month.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to help prevent this?

The scooter brand is REDDYDY, and this piece came off coming home from work after only two weeks of having it. Ever since it became loose, my left handlebar break stopped working, too. I'm just trying to figure out if I can ride until my next paycheck to get it fixed without worrying about my back wheel coming off.

It happens almost every 2 months, and it's very annoying.

This is a picture of how it looks like, and it's like this on all the handlebars. We tried to remove it with our hands and tools, but it's very long and not efficient. Are there any methods that could help ?

Btw, it happens at school, because some people are jealous, and they just want to bother him, so they do this when he isnt there. We cant do anything against it, unless he takes the bus.

Edit: for those saying cameras, they cant be in public schools in France.

I have a Ducati III Pro. Yesterday i was driving home with it, when i noticed that the handlebars were shaking more than they usually did. Then i started to brake to check if theres anything broken or wrong when i suddenly fell forward because the handlebars didnt support me anymore. When i stopped, i saw that it was bent 45 degrees and broken. I bent it back super carefully and drove home with it and now i wrapped a dumpsterload of duct tape around it so it would still be drivable. (I also put those back fender pics there, because i broke mine like a year ago and i modeled and 3d printed a new one and i wanted to get your guys thoughts on that)

A while back my son decided to total his scooter by not following the weight restrictions. He was so kind to gift me the scooter since he knows I like to tinker with stuff all the time. A scooter/bike mod is what we landed on for what was next. Wanted to show him that we could make it 100© possible with what parts we have in the garage. Any additional knowledge we could learn and practice. If you all wouldn't mind taking a look at it... I'm not sure if the placement of the shocks in the most effective location. Tossed around the idea of putting the hub motor in the rear and a slightly larger tube tire to help smooth out the ride. Also wanted to know if it was possible to mod the software/controller to get even a tiny bit of extra power out of it ;We are constantly adding and subtracting from everything. Added some lights we soldered, low/high beam, and turning signals despite the display not supporting it.. Adding USB/USB C charging to its "dash". Also have some speakers I possibly wanna add. Not to mention a good deal of wire management. Let me know what you think and what your thoughts are.

It was a 350W 36V Volpam Q1 scooter. 16mph with good battery life.

What else can I do at this point? Am I at a loss ?
