    very good scooter for the price, wouldnt get it for rrp though. for that money there are way better scooters avaliable

        What are some better alternatives for this price?

        (I didn't downvote, genuinely curious).

        • Leho on 15/06/2022 - 16:02

          Eglide ultra or d150v2

          Kaabo sky 8 or 8s or 10c for slightly more

          Those are just the ones I can think off the top of my head. All can be bought from scooter hut stores around Australia. Most of them also have better warranty.

          Or the kaabo mantis 8 or 10 solo from aliexpress but always the risk buying from aliexpress.

            @Leho: Thanks for pointing out the D150 V2. A dual motor for about $1000 is good value.

                @Leho: You've got that right. First time I tried a dual motor scooter I was in love. Gotta avoid using it due to the battery drain.

    Unfortunately it would seem it doesn't deliver nationwide. Record low price at least. Hopefully the backorder is fulfilled.

  • cristobaljamesy on 15/06/2022 - 15:14

    Does this qualify for any cashback from the usual suspects?

  • billy_bob on 15/06/2022 - 15:16

    This or the Xiaomi scooter posted Monday?

    • Drakesy on 15/06/2022 - 15:19

      I have the E45 and it's a well built scooter.
      Would go the xiaomi for the additional 5km range though.
      They almost all use the same parts interchangeably though. It's amazing how similar the Ninebot is to the Xiaomi equivalents are, right down to their display and specs.

      • billy_bob on 15/06/2022 - 15:22

        Xiaomi wheels are only 8.5" though so might not be as smooth over bumpy surfaces?

        • Drakesy on 15/06/2022 - 15:29

          That's a fair assessment, 10'' would make a bit of a difference.

        It's amazing how similar the Ninebot is to the Xiaomi equivalents are, right down to their display and specs.

        Ninebot Inc., a Beijing-based transportation robotics startup and a Segway rival, acquired Segway in April 2015, having raised $80M from Xiaomi and Sequoia Capital

        From Wikipedia

        Xiaomi basically owns Segway-Ninebot

        • BargainKen on 15/06/2022 - 16:04

          I have the Xiaomi Pro 2, its built by Ninebot, its written on the box in smallish print.

          • Clear on 15/06/2022 - 16:24

            @BargainKen: Then the Xiaomi Scooter 3 Lite was manufactured by Navee and they're going back to Segway for the Scooter 4 and 4 Pro.

        • Drakesy on 15/06/2022 - 17:43

          Well that would explain it.

      If you're savvy hit up marketplace/gumtree.

      Picked up an E45 for $300, there's tonnes of parents who picked on up for they kid based on the novelty value only for the kid to get bored of it.

      Just make sure it comes with a charger, if not it may be stolen.

          @OzzyOsbourneYou do know bicycles have been around right?

          The media are only reporting on the crashes because they're "new"

          Imagine if they reported on every car/bicycle collision, there wouldn't be any time left for actual news.

      They crack down on people speeding on them down Southbank from time to time (and hit people with 2 fines), pretty sure no one gets a fine for just riding one. That the rental ones are legal is just bizarre though.

      • PlushyAngel on 15/06/2022 - 16:40

        Aren't they trialling rental e-scooters?

      • Ilikecars on 15/06/2022 - 18:34

        The rental ones are legal because riders are covered with insurance (both 3rd party property and health) included in the cost. This is the main reason private scooters are illegal. As others have stated, police use their discretion and fine private riders doing the wrong thing.

    • freefall101 on 17/06/2022 - 15:32

      There was an article in the age today that they estimated there was 100,000 e-scooters in Victoria a total of 66 fines had been handed out in the first 5 months of the year for riding a privately owned one. They'd given out 100 fines for being on the footpath and 88 fines for having two people on a single scooter, so it's pretty clear they don't care, I imagine those 66 had pissed off the cops in some way.

      https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/electric-scooter…

      Article suggests they'll be legal by year end.

  • hopper on 15/06/2022 - 15:25

    F40a Max weight is 120 kgs? Is this the same?

    • ozbagends on 15/06/2022 - 15:32

      f40 and f40a are the same models except one difference which is the speed is capped at 25km/hr for f40a

      • AssociatedShotzzXII @ Amazon AU on 15/06/2022 - 15:54

        whats the speed for the f40?

        • hopper on 15/06/2022 - 16:24

          30 kms while f40a is 25

  • Shina on 15/06/2022 - 15:34

    I have used f20a for my work journey in CBD VIC. After two months my only complain is lack of suspension that kill your back. I believe this one have the same issue.

    • Clear on 15/06/2022 - 15:43

      Best scooter with suspension at the cheapest price is the InMotion S1. I think it's around $1000 now in an eBay sale.

      • goobar on 15/06/2022 - 19:25

        24kg Oof that’s heavy

        • Clear on 15/06/2022 - 19:35

          That would be because of the large 54V battery. Many dual motor ones with suspension set you back 25-35kg.

  • Leggy on 15/06/2022 - 15:36

    It says F40A in the description on Amazon

    • thinkv on 15/06/2022 - 15:41

      I'm guessing this is why it was pulled and corrected. Cheaper for the F40A right?

      • Remorhaz on 15/06/2022 - 15:52

        The title of the Amazon listing says "F40" - but in the tech details section it says "‎F40A" but the listed weight appears to be for the F40 model (15.8kg vs 14.7kg)?

  • hopper on 15/06/2022 - 15:54

      Your opinion is biased if you are associated XD

  • snuffypot11 on 15/06/2022 - 16:08

    I bought this through Amazon a few weeks ago @ ~$900, after a few days it wouldn't charge at all, Amazon returns were great about it and I had a new one on my door the next day, few days later, exactly the same issue. They refunded me once the returns arrived at their warehouse and I bought a Mearth RS Pro through Retravision instead, had it a few weeks now and its amazing!

    While I'm sure I just got unlucky with a couple of lemons from the same batch, I thought it was worth mentioning. The scooter that arrived was the F40 despite what the description says, its the same scooter but with a software speed limit of 30km/h instead of the F40A's 25km/h. Also comes with a spare tire and tube which is nice if it lasts long enough for you to wear one out.

  • hopper on 15/06/2022 - 16:11

    thx OP for the post, price matched with JB over the phone (its different model F40A but the lady was kind to ignore it)

      An idiot going too fast on a push scooter can do the same damage as an idiot on an e-scooter. Its the 'idiot' part which is the problem.

      • Drakesy on 15/06/2022 - 17:58
        +1

        It's the scooter doing 50km/h with a guy in a full face helmet vs scooter doing 30km/h that's the problem.

        30k's/h on a 10 inch wheel at the best of times is a bit sketchy, let alone 50k's/hour.

      • zhenjie on 15/06/2022 - 20:10

        a push scooter doesn't have the same mass as an escooter. Nor does it realistically achieve the same speed.

    • Clear on 15/06/2022 - 17:59
      +1

      In my experience the cyclists are going faster than the eScooters. I've come along side many doing 40km+.

      • brongz on 16/06/2022 - 05:12

        That’s what I thought and saw. Even in CBD area you can see many food couriers who use e-bike is riding it so much faster that e-scooter.

        So, why can’t e-scooter be legal like e-bike? The law has to adapt with common sense.
