Teverun - Blade GT II

The other thing is, does it amount to a serious failure or a minor failure? I just spent $6500 on a Teverun. The rear shock blew after 1200km's. I could complain, cry and get it 'fixed' under warranty for it to blow up in another 1000km's or I could just swap out the shock for another. I have now ordered a $20 shock to install with some great reviews but worst case if that blows as well I'll spend $70 on a KKE unit. If it was a motor, battery or controller THEN I would be screaming but otherwise just consider it an opportunity to upgrade the components. Unfortunately these things don't last forever

As far as the fighter mini goes there are multiple versions [here's a comparison](https://superscoots.ca/fighter-mini-eco-plus-pro-whats-the-difference/) In your use case since you're accustomed to the gt2 which is a large scooter, unless you want to downsize, the fighter 11, blade gt 2 or fighter supreme are probably a better fit for you Going from a gt2 from one brand to a gt2 from another would be kinda funny imo

The teverun blade gt2 with the 26ah battery is probably the best value at $1800msrp or ~$1200 taxed and shipped direct from china(pre tarrif number). I couldnt find another scooter that could do more than 80kph, with a weight under 35kg. It's the same scooter as the fighter 11, as far as perfomance. The fighter 11 has a nicer screen, a few more lights, and a different color scheme. It's better in just about every way than the nami klima, and it weighs less. Weight might seem unimportant with a powered scooter, but it has been extremely useful to have a scooter that I can carry up a flight of stairs, the teverun is just light enough that I can do so safely despite a back injury. I would highly recommend restricting the power/top speed until you have some practice with the scooter. These are basically shitty motorcycles, not toys.

You can get my scooter, the bade gt2 with a smaller battery for 1700. Teveruns are well built, and have some nice features. Even if you dont care to go 50+ mph, its cool that the scooter can do it. Im coming up on 4000 miles on mine.

Nami scooters are decent, but there are significantly better options. My teverun gt2 is sold for only $100 more than your nami, but it is better in nearly every performance category. 18 mph faster and 25% more watts of peak power per motor. 60v system at the same amp hour rating, so 200+wh of battery capacity, and less reduction of your top speed due to voltage drop as you run the battery down. Not to mention the bigger 11in tires, I won't go back to riding 9s, less safe, slower, worse ride quality. But hey, your scooter is ten pounds lighter than mine, which I would definitely appreciate if I had to lift my scooter frequently. Namis are pretty reliable scooters if you dont count the ones with the CF stem that shatters or the ones with the brake sensor issues. Scooters are basically simplified shitty motorcycles, no chain or transmissions because of the hub motors. You could even take the mechanical brakes off, electric unicycles only have regen brakes, and they do just fine. Outside of manufacturing defects, design flaws, and impact damage from crashes, an electric scooter should easily last many thousands of miles. My scooter has 3000 so far. Nothing has needed fixing other than crash damage. But most people dont need or want a 50+ mph scooter, so what do I know. Its still a perfectly good ride, and im sure you'll have many happy miles on it. Even though its not crazy fast, I would buy a steering damper for it. Dampers prevent a variety of situations that could lead to you getting hurt, the scooter too. Do you have a full face helmet yet? I have crashed my scooter at just about your top speed twice, broke my collarbone, and fractured my pelvis. Im super thankful that I was wearing a moto helmet and leather armored jacket at the time.

I really like my teverun gt2, 26ah is <2k https://preview.redd.it/1qy4j6px8m8f1.jpeg?width=1864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0896df9472344f5089f0f3565e4fa25f3d9afbd

I second this, I love my blade gt. I think its absolutely the best 50+mph <100lbs scooter, I went with it because 100lbs is my hard limit for carrying up a flight of stairs without hurting myself. You can charge up to 20a, much higher than most scooters under $4000, I've done 15a charging many times. It has a steering damper included, good shocks and a lot of customization, each gear can be customized for speed, power, ebrake, and more. I have nearly 4000 miles on mine, and Im super hard on it, I even do racing events on it, no issues so far. With a wider bar and PMT tires, these things absolutely rip.

I second the fighter supreme ultra. I have the blade version of the 60v fighter 11, and it has been fantastic, great value, and a really tough platform that can handle use and abuse. The supreme ultra is wider to accommodate a 72v 60ah battery and has much more powerful motors/controllers, but it keeps the 11in tire platform. The ultra has a proximity based locking setup, and higher end charging ports that allow more charging amps, which I have not seen on the other hyper scooters. I would stay away from the 7260r model with the 13in tires, the change in geometry caused some stability issues. The supreme ultra has everything that is good about the 7620r as well as the geometry that works well on the fighter 11.

I can't stand how most reviewers will say next to nothing about the controllers / throttle feel, etc. especially because the throttle feel on most scooters is garbage with a few exceptions. I did get a chance to ride 2 different Blade GT 2's and I don't like the throttle control on them. It feels like you're picking a speed with the throttle, and the controller is deciding how much power it wants to give you. Not very predictable. On the other hand, I have an Apollo, and I've ridden a Nami Klima max. Both scooters have excellent throttle control, especially the Apollo. The Nami had a bit of deadzone on the throttle lever, but felt quite predictable after that. Both scooters can be "walked", the Apollo a little better than the Nami. That is, the Apollo, even in the highest power setting, can be made to go a walking speed with light throttle application. For comparison, the slowest I could get the blade to move was like 15 kph, except in the dedicated walk mode which is useless for actual riding. The reason it's important to me is that I deal with a lot of loose surfaces and even ice sometimes. I literally couldn't use the blade in some cases where the Apollo is second nature.

Ausom fudges their numbers more than most. Teverun for example is very close to reality. Really depends on brand, but take the specs from the scooter and run it through a calculator, probably more accurate than the average manufacturer claim

Look teverun or nami if you have good budget. They have many different models to choose from. I have dualtron achilleus and what i dont like it is the suspension. Otherwise i would have recommended dualtron too. I have driven it around 3500km and had only one flat, still same tires. Brakepads i have changed. If i switch to other scooter it will be teverun.

A blade GT, i guess. Not in your budget but it can hit those speeds. I tried doing wheelies on one and i held it for a few seconds. Please be careful when considering hyper scooters, especially cheap ones. You might start hearing Kerosene…

Honestly, the biggest thing is going to be the shop that you purchased from in terms of warranty support and source for parts. It’s very hard to have confidence that they’re gonna be around to still be able to provide parts at a reasonable price. Teverun seems like a solid option even if the shop you buy it from is not the best because luckily almost every part seems readily available at a good price from AliExpress. So you have options. 7620r seems pretty great although getting the later version seems better, especially if you need to deal with the steering dampener. Inmotion, I would only not recommend because I’ve seen their terrible customer support on their electric unicycle side of the business. They also seem to be discontinuing in someway the RS so I will be confident for parts. RX7 on paper seems like a great scooter for the price, but I’ve also seen pretty terrible customer support from roadrunner and I know a few different scooter shops where I live and they seem to suffer a lot from electrical gremlins. Teverun I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, and there may be some bias because they typically see the more higher end versions. But the friends that I know at shops have those as their personal ride and don’t really seem to have as many mysterious issues if that makes sense. Like with randomly dying controllers or motors with failing hall sensors. Stuff that doesn’t have a very clear physical damage component to it. Lastly, I think if you search on this sub, I think there is very recently someone who purchased that same scooter from Wilson’s, who didn’t have the best experience out of the box, but the shop did get him a replacement with an a decently reasonable time. So although it’s a crummy situation to be in at the very least, I think that’s the sort of experience you would want if you have issues. If you’re in New York, maybe you would want to consider these guys since they seem more local and I have heard decent things about them online. Although I always recommend doing your own research. https://www.speedwayridersnyc.com/shop/fighter-supreme-7260r-electric-scooter/?srsltid=AfmBOooXYrjru0kYSmHevL7m4C0PzwPrjMb61AabsevgXnvHJWmH3qRU

It depends but keep in mind that you can get 35 mph and 40 miles of range but not both at the same time. Most scooters will only get the 40 miles of real world range if you’re 125 pounds and going maybe 15 mph on flat road. But realistically speaking, your best option is probably going to be the Teverun blade gt2 you can probably get away with the regular GT two with the 26ah battery but you might want to stretch your budget to around 2400 to get the GT 2+ if you want to be absolutely sure you can get 40 mph.

I really like the Teverun blade gt2. 11 inch tubeless tires along with quick release plugs for the motors means that maintenance tire changes is easy when needed and you shouldn’t deal with flat tires as much because of the tubeless tire. Hydraulic brakes also means there’s very low maintenance because the brake pads auto adjust as they wear. It has a NFC key, but there is literally no real measure against theft besides a Ulock. Most NFC systems can be bypassed by replacing the controller or display. That is across the board so it doesn’t really provide that much a deterrent against real thieves, but it does prevent teenagers and stuff from trying to turn it on or mess with it. It’s $1600 and it’s honestly the best you can get in that price range without having to get closer to 2200 or 2400.

The biggest thing for me is that it’s fairly simple to get spare parts if you need them and it shares a decent amount of cross compatibility with parts from their other lineup of the fighter 11 and fighter supreme, like the swinging arms or suspension.

Nice great choice for a first its top quality easy to upgrade and work on. I waisted a lot of money buying cheaper scooters should have gone with the teverun from the start. What's nice is most of the parts fit from across models so there's a ton of stuff you can do. But first get a decent full face helmet and a good pair of motocross gloves. And take your time till your used to it. https://preview.redd.it/h5ss9nnj8v5g1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e20af1e7f1494d0eddc3847de5902f616ede9aae I probably have spent $5k buying and modding cheaper scooters should have gone this route to begin with. Mine is a fighter mini pro soon to have the Blade GT2 motors and controllers installed pushing it to 53mph

I second the Blade GT 2. It is loaded with great features that make it user-friendly for newer riders getting into the bigger faster models. It's a big scooter but it has TONS of grace. The only thing I recommend is getting the thumb throttle and gear mode selection module to install right out of the box. I am at about 7.6K miles on mine.
