worth it is subjective , depending what u intend to do with it. if for last mile commute is efficient especially those sub 20kg. for hobby you may want to look at suspensions, ease of charge,lighting, waterproof, price. i use to own zero9 and 10. maintenance is fairly simple and there are utube tutorials. aside to electronics which may require longer tutorial hours. otherwise is like changing a spare tyre on a car. all you need is a toolbox.

question what cells are used, after doing research Samsung/LG,panasonic cells is better durability. BMS plays an important role too.

QUOTE(jerm57 @ Apr 3 2023, 11:26 AM) As long as you're using a charger with overcharge protection, explosive battery failure shouldn't be an issue. There are also signs of failure that you can look out for in the battery. If it starts to look bloated, just stop using it and replace immediately. When the battery gets bloated, it won't hold a charge properly anyway. i agree bigger wheels and with suspension is a bigger bonus. ability to fold up and stand nicely is good too , if you have limited space to store.Someone mentioned above, but try to get a scooter with the biggest wheels you can get. Malaysian roads are pretty bad and bigger wheels means you won't get flipped over so easily.  |
