ZIP20

I can see Mearth gets very mixed reception here on Ozbargain due to the antics of the marketing team, however I thought I would post this because it seems like an overlooked double up on offers. Currently there are discounts on most of their scooters plus I found the voucher ZIP20 for 20% off on CouponBirds. Here are the new prices after discount:

Model Offer Price ZIP20 Price Offer Expiry
Mearth S $699.00 $559.20 2022-9-1 17:57
Mearth S PRO $899.00 $719.20 2022-9-1 17:57
Mearth RS $1,149.00 $919.20 2022-9-1 17:52
Mearth GTS $1,899.00 $1,519.20 2022-9-1 22:53

I personally went for the Mearth RS, but I suspect I'll always wish I went for the GTS… My RS has also been shipped already after 24 hours.

    where can you legally ride these…?

    • juns on 01/09/2022 - 13:03
      +1

      For WA: local roads, pedestrian path and bike path.

      • franco cozzo on 01/09/2022 - 13:03

        40 kmh? on pedestrian paths?
        and share paths?

        • juns on 01/09/2022 - 13:04
          +1

          Speed limits are 25, 15 and 25 respectively

          • franco cozzo on 01/09/2022 - 13:04

            @juns: but very rarely enforced?

            • juns on 01/09/2022 - 13:06

              @franco cozzo: I don't think anyone is actively enforcing it. I ride mine 30kmh on local roads and bike path.

              Rode past the police and they didn't even flinch. I think 25 and 30 is close enough a naked eye can't tell the difference.

                • mave on 01/09/2022 - 14:10

                  @franco cozzo: Cars are 2000kg fossil fuel powered projectile, legally allowed to go 50-60 km/h right next to pedestrians and other active travellers.

                  Using p=mv or ke=0.5mv^2, cars are at least a magnitude more harmful in terms of ability to do harm in the event of a crash, not including getting run over by one.

                  Why isn't there a speed limiter built in cars already?

          Yes it is. If you speed limit them to 25km (which they are out of the box) they are legal. If you unlock them to go faster, e.g. 40km then they're not legal.

      • Tleyx on 01/09/2022 - 13:33

          Obviously but the scooters themselves are legal. Unlike VIC and NSW with their backwards ass laws.

          • MagnamoniousRex on 01/09/2022 - 14:01

            @Clear: How come I see hundreds of them every day in Vic if they're illegal?

              @MagnamoniousRex: Ozbargain is full of tight fisted rule followers. Normal people just get on with it.

              @MagnamoniousRex: Littering is illegal, but you can see litter everywhere. Same with drugs. Same with drinking and smoking outside of permitted places.

              @MagnamoniousRex: Thats like saying why do people commit theft and murder? Vicpol are far less strict than NSW. I've spent a lot of time this year in both states and NSW do regular crackdowns so people know it's not worth the risk.

            • Winston100s on 02/09/2022 - 02:41

              @MagnamoniousRex: If you rent them, it's legal. If you buy one, it can have a motor powerfull up to 200w and speed doesn't exceed 10km/h. It's on the VICroads website.

          • Tleyx on 01/09/2022 - 15:29

            @Clear: I think they are legal in nsw on private property. So they are not illegal on NSW, only restricted from certain places

            I can.ride one on my farm just like I can drive the unregistered paddock basher car

              @Tleyx: They've always been legal on private property. Like not wearing a seatbelt. The issue is in NSW and VIC you can't go out in public and ride them like you can in WA, QLD and TAS.

      • 6828 on 01/09/2022 - 15:48

        So are there no eScooter rentals in VIC and NSW now? or is it just Privately owned scooters that are banned?

          There are rentals in some parts and the privately owned ones are still banned.

    40 kph Top Speed

    That's even illegal in Qld.

    • paulaus on 01/09/2022 - 19:01
      +1

      Then don't hack it and it's legal at 25kmh out of the box.

      • jv on 01/09/2022 - 21:27

        Then don't hack it

        Doesn't appear to need 'hacking'

        According to the website:

        *Disclaimer: Maximum speed is set as 25kph as a default, but it can be manually overridden by the user to go to 40kph.

        So, it is 'capable' of doing 40kph, which makes it illegal

        • paulaus on 01/09/2022 - 21:49

          Manually over ridden is hacking so leave the settings alone and it's legal.

          already a disaster in Melbourne CBD. There are some real idiots riding these. No helmets on, riding with a passenger, speeding on footpaths missing pedestrians by inches. If the CBD was busy like before COVID, I'm sure we'd have had some deaths by now.

            @jv: I am sure there would have been some deaths. On average around 40 cyclists die in Australia every year. If there are less cyclists, but more scooterists then it goes without saying there will be deaths.

              @Aureus:

              proportionally more deaths with e-scooters.

        • cerealJay on 02/09/2022 - 17:28

          mostly ridden by distracted users

          False. If you've ever ridden a scooter you'll know it's not possible, or at least extremely difficult to be on your phone at same time.

          Cars though… people who drive cars are idiots. Most are on their phones or distracted, and the road toll reflects this.

  • mrjaytee on 01/09/2022 - 14:00

    I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on Mearth earlier in the year until I dig into their reviews (most were either pretty dissatisfied with customer service, the more positive ones seemed kinda spammy).
    Ended up with a Segway G30Max (Maserati ed) which I cannot fault.

  • drakarn_123 on 01/09/2022 - 15:02

    I'm a fool for assuming these were Australian made/designed. I just found the RS on Alibaba. I'm not too upset though, because having to buy two of them from China and worrying about dealing with customs, freight and warranty should balance things out a bit… Or at least that's how I'll justify it to myself!

    I'm in coastal VIC, I see kids riding these all the time, often with one hand on their phone, no helmet. Always attitudes.

    Even better when they ride on footpaths, why should their health be compromised, make it risky for pedestrians instead.
