    Great if you live in QLD.

    Not much use for just about anyone else…

    Quite a few fines the other day issued in Melbourne, it was in the news.

      i think the fine only if you speeding, if you ride less than 10 km is ok.

      just turn it to walking mode in front of the police and wear your helmet and you should be fine

        Not in VIC,

        If the scooter is capable of exceeding 10km/hr or motor is > 200W it is illegal to ride in public and you risk a fine.

              @jv: Only 8 people were fined for having an unregistered motor vehicle (i.e. a scooter that didn't meet the limits) out of the over 100 fines they issued the other day. Definitely not going to care if you do the speed limit and wear a helmet.

              Plus you can just install hacked firmware to limit the speed if you're worried, it won't do over 10km/h, problem solved.

                8 people were fined for having an unregistered motor vehicle (i.e. a scooter that didn't meet the limits)

                So they definitely are fining people then for riding scooters with specs exceeding the legal limits…

                They would have also lost demerit points if they had a driver's licence.

                • freefall101 on 18/03/2021 - 19:46

                  @hikaru78: Good point, didn't think about that. Sadly the market for 200w ones is tiny, otherwise at this point I'd definitely be jumping in. Even at 10km/h I'd still get to work faster than walking mixed with public transport.

        • mjf on 19/03/2021 - 09:37

          if you can modify the electronic speed limiter on an e-scooter to be a max of 10kmh (and power output is less than 200kw) is it still illegal?

              @JCRALLYART: then you have to use your common sense, ride responsibly not speeding on high traffic area where you can find many pedestrian walking.

              The patrol only happen in the city especially Southbank where many pedestrian are walking in front of crown casino beside yarra river. you can find not only scooter pass the limit, but many cyclist did the same thing

              and i dont think in the city we have many bush areas to hide

                    why would you do more than 9 km there

                    The law clearly states its illegal to ride a scooter that is capable of exceeding 10km/hr or is > 200W. The actual speed you are doing is irrelevant.

            @Onnzo: You would be in the minority then because there are hardly anyone who would classify changing tyres on these as "easy" and it's very misleading to claim it's easy for anyone considering these.

            I don't know if you are talking about solid tyres but that's another level altogether.

              I did my research and have the right tools.

              This is the procedure I followed. https://youtu.be/erkiIxc2XfE

                @Onnzo: I have a lot of experience now so I don't find it as hard so no I don't really need any guidance on how to change it. However, based on what I experienced and general feedback from most people, it's still not something that I would class anywhere in the realm of "easy".

                Have you replaced the front tyres or tubes yet? Because that's another complication a lot of people will face as it is near impossible to get the tube valve through the hole and a lot of people choose to drill the wheel hub to make the hole bigger.

                With all these issues that apply to these scooter, I really can't agree with your view that it's "easy".

                So if someone who's a carpenter by trade says it's easy to install kitchen cabinets, that's not misleading?

      Will void warranty apparently

      • jv on 19/03/2021 - 09:28

        Are they made by Apple ?

    • tdw on 19/03/2021 - 00:32

      only IP54 rated so keep it out of the rain and puddles. if you're keen, you might be able to make the deck area more water resistant but that will also void your warranty.

    What are the people in NSW doing with these?

      Well I'm not touching it with a ten foot barge pole until they're decriminalized. There are threads on whirlpool about people getting ~$2,400 of fines from riding one of these (they usually whack people with 4 separate fines at once, which comes to that total), corroborated by multiple other users who have had the same experience. And one of their favourite spots to issue fines, near the city, is a few hundred metres from where I live. So I'm a hard pass until they fix the stupid laws. I've already signed the petition. Once it's decriminalized I will be very happy to buy one of these. Until then, it only makes sense to buy these in the ACT and QLD, where it's legal. In fact, there's only really 2 QLD laws that I wish we had, a) legal electric scooters, and b) ambulance cover provided by the state.

        Where are they issuing fines? I've seen a lot of these in the city and was thinking to buy one to commute.

        • JCRALLYART on 19/03/2021 - 09:53

          If you met one who had a bad day or who hates certain type of race…..then they can be fined anywhere, not necessary only in the City. Obviously this also depends how the rider behave

  • ce5himm on 18/03/2021 - 19:08

    really want one, but i have to save for a bigger project. i need to win tonight's powerball

  • Mazozb on 18/03/2021 - 19:30

    FFS. Just bought on last deal for $510 off eBay. Argh. Good unit tho. Been pissing down since got it 4days ago so can't say much

    • 8azinga on 18/03/2021 - 23:09

      Yep, i received mine yesterday and has been raining so haven't even had a chance to use it either. At least i didnt lose too much as i bought from catch, had a 5% coupon and paid with 15% discounted GC's.
      How did you get charged $510 though? I thought it was $499

      • Mazozb on 19/03/2021 - 07:35

        Delivery bro.. it was off their website deal not eBay. I made a stupid decision.. oh well

  • lychees on 18/03/2021 - 19:43

    Bought mine on the last deal at 430, this is an extremely good deal.

    If the battery runs out, does it work as a normal scooter?

    • iTzM3 on 18/03/2021 - 20:47

      Yes, a 12.5kg normal scooter.

      same as when an ebike's battery runs out. hope you didn't skip leg day ;)

  • lawyerz on 18/03/2021 - 22:05

    pls note that the disc brakes were pretty garbage… better in v2 version

    • Onnzo on 18/03/2021 - 22:22

      Semi hydraulic brakes are cheap from aliexpress plus a 3D printed mount is all you need.

  • playbargain on 18/03/2021 - 22:15

    Arr I don't need it but at this price and living in Brisbane where this is legal to use, might be a good time to get onboard the e-scooter bandwagon…

    Don't know why people are so scared of fines. Just pay it and move on. It's not personal and you've done nothing wrong and have endangered nobody, it's the state that's wrong.

    Don't let them stop you living your life. I've been happy riding these for 4+ years.

      Some people have lived in a cage for so long that they don't know what freedom is.

    • ozhunter68 on 20/03/2021 - 10:26

      "plemko" Have you got a fine yet for riding a scooter?

        He prefers to live by, it's only illegal if you get caught.

    Would a 108kg 6'4' person be able to get up even a mild incline?

    • n1 on 18/03/2021 - 23:58

      Nope
