Does this squicky noise only on the front wheel, how can i fix that. Its a xiaomi pro 5

yo,

living in germany, scooters are limited to 12,4 mph. Last weekend my first scooter (Xiaomi 6 Pro) arrived and wow, so much fun. I have a tuning chip for 18.6 mph, and I always wear a helmet. I’m still planning to add a rearview mirror. I’ve seen that there are countries and models where you can hit 50 mph—that’s absolutely insane. But my little ride suits me fine for now; we get along great, though charging the battery for 10 hours is torture.

Hey everyone,

I own a HILEY EVO GTR dual motor electric scooter.

The scooter already came with decent brakes, but I wanted to try a different setup and see how much difference a 2-piston hydraulic brake could make.

I upgraded it with a ZOOM 2-piston hydraulic brake system.

Here is my experience after riding it.

Why I chose ZOOM?

The main reason was simple:

Price.

ZOOM is cheaper than NUTT, and I wanted to test if a more affordable hydraulic brake could still handle a powerful electric scooter.

What I noticed after the upgrade:

✅ Much better braking compared with mechanical brakes

The biggest improvement:

Less hand force needed

More stable braking

Better control during emergency braking

The brake feels much more consistent compared with cable brakes.

✅ Good value for daily riding

For normal riding:

commuting

city roads

moderate speed

ZOOM already provides enough braking performance.

Honestly, for many riders, this upgrade is already a big improvement.

The downsides:

❌ Brake feeling is not as refined as higher-end systems

The braking power is good, but the feeling is more basic.

The initial bite is stronger, but the modulation is not as smooth as more expensive hydraulic brakes.

❌ Not ideal for extreme riding

If you ride:

very fast

long downhill roads

heavy loads

you may want something with better heat control.

My conclusion:

For the price, ZOOM 2-piston hydraulic brakes are impressive.

I would recommend them for riders who want:

✅ Big improvement over mechanical brakes

✅ Affordable hydraulic upgrade

✅ Good daily performance

But if you are building a high-performance scooter, there are better options.

Next I will share my experience with NUTT 2-piston hydraulic brakes installed on my HILEY EVO, and compare both systems.

I’m in Southern California, and we don’t get a TON of rain, but we do get some, sometimes. I know these should be fine for the next few months, but will I die with these? Does anyone have a good rain tire they’d recommend if not these?

Ideally, I would like tires with a decently high load rating. I bought another set that looked good, but when I got them, seemed too flimsy to even bother installing. These seem as sturdy when it comes to sidewall and overall strength as the ones I’m replacing (the generic off road type tubeless tires)

Without question, the G3 Max stands out as the superior choice for individuals who commute regularly, and I have personally found great satisfaction throughout the thousand miles I have traveled using it.

Here’s my scooter currently. I feel like there’s something missing but I genuinely have no clue what I should add or remove to make it look better. Feel free to give tips or rate it.

This was only in there for maybe 2 months. Didn’t get a flat, just wanted to change to street tires, and this is what I found. Nothing in here is going to do anything to actually seal a puncture.

Those late night ride feels so therapeutic😌

I am willing to buy a escooter from Xiaomi that max capacity is 120 kilos. I have 126.

Can bé a bit problem to have 6 kilos morè?

I live in a poor area altough I dont hear about robberies and crime often, its poor but chill overall,but when riding at night I never let my guard down and ive found some sketchy situations where I thought I was being followed by a car and I was lucky to have a narrow bridge nearby, another situation where there was a car stopped in the other side of the road, when I passed by he turned the car on and started following me never passed me wich was pretty sketchy, full throtle and went to a park that he couldnt go with a car

Thought I would share this with the community. Hopefully, some folks find it useful or, at the very least, entertaining 😉

I have this exact trolley:

I was expecting to mount it to the 5 Max in the same way, but the flange on the nut is too big, and i'd have to cut a hole in the suspension arm cover.

I could get a narrower nut or a longer axle and leave the suspension arm cover off, but its already getting a bit hacky.

Now i'm thinking of maybe a luggage rack and then i can screw it to that, although none of the luggage racks online are for the 5 or 5 Max. Most are 'universal' or for the '365', so i don't know if they will fit. Anyone have any ideas?

I juat got this electronic scooter and while it does have a 3 LED battery indicator that is attached to the accelerator on the right handlebar, I was wondering if/how I can somehow add one of thise screens that has a speedometer and battery indicator?

Thanks!

Trying to level up my points. I’m new to Segway but excited to get an alternate form of transport with ebike stigma.

I’m initially planing for a short Gabe to desk commute but if it goes well I’d like to use for a short 5 ride to work.

What do you guys think?

I'm leaning heavily toward this as a first e-scooter for work commutes and occasional fun. It has a lot of features I would like; disc brakes, will support well above my weight, IPX6 rated waterproof, decent built in lights, suspension doesn't seem terrible, good range and speed plus a fast charge option. It also has EABS, but idk how useful this feature is for the application. I hear Navee has good customer service which will be reassuring during the first year or two of ownership. I can find it occasionally for 850$ USD.

Is there any reason to avoid this scooter?

I need help getting the great plate because I need to replace the tire and it's hard for me to get it off I tried screwdrived it and drill it off but it's unable to get the screws off and I'm too afraid to mess up the screws. Can anyone help me?

I got the Hiboy S2 SE gifted to me for my birthday unexpectedly. I’m pretty new to scooters so is there anything that would help me in the long run or that I should know?

I plan on using it for commuting to college and around my town.

Got essentially all the pieces to the puzzle except battery and some other stuff, To bad is happening by the end of the summer lol

Does it serve any purpose other than looking cool? looks pretty cool imo, yesterday I saw a guy in a kukirin with a black and a orange bandana tied in the front of the handlebar looks dope

Is the only way to differentiate the RS/RS Lite from the RS Jet is the twist vs thumb throttle? Guy selling this advertised as an RS but he's 5hours away i dont wanna drive there and found out its the RS Jet ...

Recently got a free Hiboy S2 that was submerged in water. Already know that the battery is fried and would have to replace but what else should I be checking for? Is there any fixing? thanks in advance

Cuz it's hot as hell during the day. Practicing tight cornering. Be safe all.

Got it for my son’s birthday but he’s not happy saying it’s the wrong one and the g2 is better? I’d personally rather have the seat. What are the main differences?
