Dakeya - DK-GT08

I got mine about two months ago and after steering stabilizer im good to go... is definitely a beast got right a little over 100 or so miles thing has been a dream buying mods for it as we speak ... like new rotors and things of that nature..

My gt08 goes 30 miles fairly comfortably, riding at about half speed or lower. 2/5 bars left usually. Not sure your budget or if there's better options for the price but it works well for me and I'm happy

I like my gt08 personally. Don't know if it's the best. $650, 45mph top speed, 30-40mph range

I’m glad you pulled the trigger and bought the GT08, just be careful mentioning it around here some people just hate to see someone have a better quality scooter that’s cheaper than theirs 🤣.

Gt08 is the best deal. It folds , is fast and charged quickly.

Gt08 with a seat kit you'll be fine, worst case you have to beef up the rear suspension. Steering damper is best over 40mph mate. Lots of bang for your buck with that scooter, only a few others like it for the price.

I been riding my Rovoron Kullter and it was under 1k. Amazon might still have the deal. Mine was like $899 and like 2 years ago they sold for 2k. Also have the GT08 which is also dual motor and beefy.

I know u said 500..but u can get a new GT08 for a little less than 600..It is a beast.

Ali Express.. My buddy got one for $591.39 this week. Weird..look good because there are some of the same that are more ...buy from the EScooter score there..and make sure it ships from the US. We both got ours in 6 biz days via Fedex..tell the scooter guy I sent u!...

Not the Best quality, probably the best MID quality, and that’s only cause of that orange metal shit and the lights sometimes shorting out making only the low beams or high beams work, But those are simply fixes if you want to fix them, Definitely could last long no problem

I had the gt08 before and i could get about 25-30 miles of range Going 35-40mph just to answer your question

After i got the steering damper for it absolutely i enjoyed it

I’m at $580 with an absolute beast of a scooter GT08

GT08 rips and has great range. I bought one two weeks ago and have been having a ton of fun with it. I initially bought it for off-roading but 11” tires are rough for anything but a rail trail so I’ve mainly just been taking it out on country roads and it handles incredibly well

Personally wouldn't recommend GoTrax. Bought my son one once.. trash IMO. But this was *years* ago, so maybe they've gotten better? Segway is probably your best "name brand" option, but I've heard good things about Niu scooters as well. Personally, it's hard for me to recommend a scooter at $500 or *less* because I'm a big dude and weigh 242 lbs and live in an area where roads can incline often. Not super steep grades or anything, but enough to slow me down. So my needs may be different than yours. I wanted a low price point for an entry-level scooter that had a wider deck, bigger tires, a more "aggressive" profile/look, etc. The average commuter scooter just wasn't cutting it for me. I ended going with the GT08 because I found a sweet little coupon code that gave me $90 off if I paid with PayPal (for some reason). All in all, after tax, the coupon and *free* shipping I got my GT08 for $606. I have about 40 mile range (even though I *rarely* would go that far) and already know I can hit 25-28 MPH in Gear 2 w/ rear motor only, and 32+ MPH in Gear 3 w/ dual-motor. Just got my steering damper for it (waiting on bracket kit), which will help with wobble at higher speed. Then I'll be set. I KNOW *some* people on this sub are sick of hearing about the GT08, but I also know there are a lot of fans of it. A lot of people, like myself, had one as their first scooter before eventually upgrading to something better and possibly selling it off. Even if you don't find a coupon like I did, if you live in the US you'd probably pay around $700 for one after tax. So if it's something you want to consider, just save a little more $ and I (and other GT08 owners/former owners) can help you best we can. But if you're stuck on this price point and/or these 3 specific brands... then I'd probably recommend the KQi3 Pro. Be aware that there are reports of stem breakage on Segway scooters. 

Hmm alright. I ordered a GT08 not long ago but had major issues with the front motor locking while driving, so i’m much more interested in a reliable/higher quality scooter next. do you have any good quality dual-motor alternatives around this price range?

bro the ninebot is a joke on any weather. a real scooter like the s5 or gt08 wouldnt have any issues

GT08 is always the answer if the question is "I need the cheapest, biggest, fastest, strongest, long range e-scooter, and did I mention cheap." I've seen them go down to $550. Makes sure you get the AE codes. sometimes they are doing 20% off. for the codes check the r/ebikes sub. I've done over a 1000 miles on mine and it's never let me down. definitely has faults but strong and reliable.

the GT08 is a scary one too, there it is likely the stem will crack, albeit you shouldn't "hang" or push onto any stem i'd say the TifGalop T88/Boyueda S3 and such are the only non scary ones under 1500, stem is reinforced by the extra plates holding the shocks, bolts are good, .. .. .. only have to tighten the bolt of the lever of the locking mechanism so its extra stable, which you'd need a 10mm deep socket for, and you wont be able to fold until loosening that, but a small price to pay for safety and stability albeit those may be more likely to have electrical issues overtime, especially if you ride single motor, always keep those in dual. still, electrical issues (not battery fire, just like controllers and such) are far less worse than the thing collapsing one day. I actually torture tested my Obarter X3 till one of the front suspension bolts gave out, it took me about 30,000km and i'm pretty overweight the shocks and everything were all rusted aswell, from riding 3 winters through salt/snow sludge and rain alot (it rains alot in Belgium) i honestly was surprised it lasted that long, the shocks together with the specific bolts it needs are available on Ali now, but not when i needed them 😂😂 the shocks had pretty significant wear on them after about a year already, and i went on and rode it to pretty much destruction, and even tho one of the front suspension bolts sheered i never crashed as it never backed out of the shock and made it home no problem. the Boyueda S3 actually has far thicker bolts for the rear suspension (12mm vs 10mm) and front is just solid

So you're highly recommending a scooter that you have never rode? Please make sense of this post for us.....

Ok so like I said, you're highly recommending a scooter that you have literally never ridden??? Delete this post if you have any sense of integrity my dude.

You have literally never ridden it and have absolutely no first hand experience if they do or do not "ride fine". Its beyond me how you can't comprehend this unless you're like 12 years old... Are you 12 years old?

Congratulations on repeating what OP already said, I have no issue with reading comprehension. Them riding their friends scooter is completely irrelevant to the conversation. Get off my nuts.

And as long as you take care of it it will last as long as there overpriced underpowered scooters anyway. I put mine on a diet she lost 23lbs and gained a set of 60H 60v 2800w motors other than that it's pretty much stock

Okay well if your faster then 54mph then yeah I guess you can and I was speaking about people in my city. $1000 for a 54 mph scooter that really hasn't had a single issue yeah I'll beag about that everyday. And my last scooter was a $1400 G3 Pro with like $700 in mods on it. So over $2000 and the GT08 is way better in quality and ride so yeah thanks https://preview.redd.it/41e6e2ws6bke1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7daa2c907706603f6af85bb1e77622da14cd9e2 So yes thanks again lol

First of all anyone in this thread can tell you how long I have owned it if your that intested ask around 8 have been posting on it for close to 6 months now. I live in western Massachusetts so it's a cold ass climate, in the Berkshire mountains. And I'll take an odometer pic when I get home. https://preview.redd.it/f05w3fledike1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc422ba9a6e64b28e17a9974852378f77c01e809 Some freaking people have a great day ride safe lol

Try the GT08 had it 5 months now 600 miles and it's awesome my last scooter was around $1500 and at $750 its better quality rides nicer and is way more powerful. And being I am a disabled vet with 2 blown out knees and a piece of shrapnel in my hip sitting is a must, only thing I don't like is it's a little heavy but all 60v scooter are. I actually bought it to use for parts for the M7 frame I bought but after riding it for a few weeks I ended up deciding to keep it as my daily driver https://preview.redd.it/b6lad0iadu9e1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=248008c22a44de42992263db0047477e978e513a

I paid $720 for my GT08, I have had 5 other scooters from $500 to $2000.so far with a little under 800 miles on it now it's pretty much my favorite scooter I have owned rides and runs smoothly with plenty of power when needed. I get compliments and people asking me about it more often than not when I am riding around my city. https://preview.redd.it/r1pg4bd13hoe1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a536c705d9643c175861d018b2e884cf3abcad3 I modded a bunch of the visual stuff, the guts are still the same. It's a pretty heavy, powerful scooter but what 60v isn't. I knocked 23lbs off just changing a few things on the outside. I am 52yo and it's tolerable for me to Carry it up the 4 steps into my apartment. For the money I definitely recommend it

Too much money you can get the same scooter on Alibaba or AliExpress for under $1000. If your looking for a high speed scooter that's relatively cheap but excellent quality. With better options than a lot of more expensive scooters I have had mine 6 months and have a little over 600 miles on it and it's one of the best scooters I have owned including more expensive one. It has a heavy duty suspension very smooth, also has full rear oil hydraulic brakes partial hydraulic fronts, 2x37amp sine wave controller with plenty of power and pretty smooth acceleration. I actually bought it to use as a parts scooter for a build I am doing but since I decided to go 72v it's going to take me like a year to afford all the parts I want. So I decided to keep the GT08 whole and ride it for the year. On a full battery she does 50mph(on a Garmin handheld GPS) and when the battery goes down a bar it settles in at like 47mph. At 35mph I get right around 35 miles per charge and at full throttle I get about 23 on the way 60v 27ah battery. There going for like 750 plus tax on AliExpress on Amazon and Walmart there 999 funny though they all ship from the same warehouse in California if you are in the US. There are a bunch of other guys on here with them , that also say there definitely higher quality then the price there charging. Although the only bonus buying it through Walmart is you can buy an extended warranty I believe. But you will be paying like $350 more to me it's not worth it since Arwibon has been pretty good and always return email pretty much within 24 hours and I haven't need any parts so just a recommendation here's mine I have right around $1000 into it with all the accessories and cosmetic stuff I did https://preview.redd.it/buvpq0nyaege1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a6f04f992253f34a8ddb327cc279e6f6f41af6b

I would say get what I am riding now but you don't need something that goes 45+ going for around the same price https://preview.redd.it/cmcw9st7j48e1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52b4fdbb2a3075678db4c63de129536dc963d90b GT08 not really a first scooter but in your price range either way get decent full face helmet and gloves

https://preview.redd.it/cudx3mngj48e1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6f1cbd3ef79e90b1e32a913ff9a7b7bbee5f064 I just changed around the way it looks, my budget was under $1000

Try the GT08 with 2x1000lb front shocks and a 2200lb rear it hold up great and with 5600w and 60v it's a beast. I let my neighbor ride it the other day and he's 6'7" and around 400lbs I was worried lol but it held up just fine he didn't even come close to bottoming the suspension and with a handlebar height at the lowest setting if 52" it's pretty tall has almost 9" of clearance underneath. I paid like 700 for the scooter and put another 300 in upgraded but for under $1000 it's a real monster been riding it now for 6 months with no issues I definitely recommend it for larger guys https://preview.redd.it/v2bcd5jwhmre1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0313c5d328db839ced0d02cd97e82308c68151d0

https://preview.redd.it/oo0rd2jfimre1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4a9d9355b9d3069debd47a2186ea5a363d38c5c And the rear 2200lb is firm but still smooth over bumps i changed it cosmetically but it's an Arwibon GT08 if you buy it on AliExpress it ships from California so you don't have to wait for it to come from China

Bought 2 of em... So far they've been great. Over 400 miles on one, and about 250 on the other. I did remove the mountains and front metal support. But that's it.

Almost can't believe it's a GT08 doesn't look like it anymore the carbon fiber wrap really changes the look
