This is the best scooter ever! I love it so much I already rode it more than a 100 miles in the first 3 days of owning it.
This is my 2nd one, and I'm so glad I went with this N6 72V. Nanrobot basically took all the criticism and the weak points of the N6 and solved them, making this the perfect scooter. There are just a couple tiny things that I would like improved/added, but overall, there so many things right about this scooter.
• Let's start with the STABILITY!!! My previous scooter went only 20mph, and I thought that with this thing I would never dare to take it up to 50mph. Well, I did. On my second day of owning it. IT IS SO INCREDIBLY STABLE!!! WITHOUT A STEERING DAMPER! It's like a tank but at the same time it just glides on the road, completely planted. I've experienced ZERO speed wobble, zero stem wobble, zero rattle, just a solid well-built brick of a scooter! The frame is one piece, there are no welds that can break. Although something to note is that the steering is very tight out the box, if you're going at lower speeds (10-20mph), it feels very weird. But it's a good thing for high speed.
• The KKE hydraulic suspension is one of the best suspensions you can get on an electric scooter, it's the same as on the Nami scooters, which are praised for their suspension. And with this one, just talking about it doesn't really do it justice. It eats up everything, and I've even went through mild potholes at 40mph, ate it up like a champ. Came perfectly adjusted for me out the box, but its preload and dampening are easily adjustable because the suspension is flipped. Very easy access to the adjustment knob, no need to run your hand against the tire like on other scooters.
• The dual hydraulic NUTT brakes are a reliable beast, they're so powerful they take time to adjust to, you really have to lean back and very lightly press on the levers, it's so easy to press them compared to my previous scooter because they are hydraulic. My scooter came out the box with the rear disc rotor very slightly bent, but that was an easy fix. I DON'T recommend you turn on any Regen (E-brake), because it makes it even harder to get a smooth breaking experience, it makes it very twitchy.
• There is plenty of room on the deck for both of my feet (size 12 US), and the footrest/kickplate is at a very nice angle, it feels very natural and I don't get any fatigue from it.
• The scooter is quite heavy at 92lbs, but it's just something that comes with having such a beast battery and a tank scooter. Still liftable, there are two places where hands can grasp the scooter really well, under the front steering arm, and the footrest/kickplate on the back.
• The tires, even though ten inches, feel like much more than that. They're extremely wide, but still curved enough to be nimble when cornering. They're nice and thick, I expect them to last a long time, and they provide exceptional grip, I haven't gotten any front wheel spin-out. The process of changing the tires is quite easy, you just take the wheel off, unscrew 6 screws, and one part of the rim comes off. Now you're ready to change your tube or tire! Very easy.
• I was surprised to see a silicone gasket in the deck, that's a very good thing. Also, the screen is waterproof. There are a couple of holes in the deck where the wires come in that I sealed up with silicone, and I sealed up the turn signals control and the throttle. With all of that, my scooter should be fine to ride in the rain.
• The lighting of this scooter is amazing. You can see on the pictures just how bright it all is, it's very visible to other cars, and the lights' colors are adjustable. The headlight needs adjustment, it's tilted too much out of the box, once you adjust it, put a furniture felt pad where screw touches the stem, otherwise it makes a very annoying rattling sound. Once adjusted, it provides a VERY GOOD focused light that is enough for top speed riding at night, it lights very far. But, the flood of the light is not good at all, so you might wanna get high power flood light if you're going to be riding in the dark a lot. The rear light is AMAZING! I would say this should be the standard of e-scooter turn signals. The light is very bright, flashes when you're breaking, and the turn signals are yellow and REALLY VISIBLE even in the incredibly bright Florida sun. This thing is basically road ready.
• The acceleration is mind blowing, but not enought to blow you off the scooter, which is good. I usually use mode 2, but even in mode 3, if you use the throttle smoothly, your front wheel will never spin out. Very nice and smooth, it is only twitchy if you use the throttle incorrectly, be mindful of that. Be very gentle and smooth on the throttle don't just bottom it out, then you're probably gonna fall of the scooter, because this thing has some BITE!
• The design of this scooter is STUNNING. You really don't get to appreciate it until you have it in front of you. The pictures don't translate just how beautiful it is. I really love that Nanrobot designed it themselves and minimized the use of off-the-shelf parts like other scooters. It really sticks out among all the Frankenstein chinesium e-scooters that rattle and wobble themselves apart after a couple hundred miles.
• The battery and range. I have the 30Ah version, I am 170lbs, and I got about 33-35 miles out of it going 40-50mph. That is very good range. I would expect around 40-60 miles realistically going at slower speeds. The charger that it comes with is a 2 amp charger, so it takes about 15 hours to charge the scooter from empty to full, which is a long time, but it's an easy fix. With a second charger you would be looking at about 7-7.5 hours to charge from empty to full, which is not that bad.
• The cockpit. The turn signal, headlight, and horn combo thing feels very cheap, and that's because it is, but that's alright. It serves a very simple purpose. The throttle feels okay. The screen is nice and high resolution and tells you everything you need to know, but it is quite hard to read in direct sunlight, which is unfortunate. That's one of the only things I would like improved about this scooter.
• The last thing is the folding mechanism. I ended up removing the hook on the deck because it's quite annoying to deal with. I'll just carry it around with me and screw it on whenever I have to fold it. The folding mechanism on the stem is alright. It needs some blue loctite FOR SURE. It got loose without loctite on it, which is very dangerous. I watched a Chinese early review of the N6 72V on youtube (https://youtu.be/H5mCf_fYpYA?si=3c12_ZAiMTwhs4zP), which showed a locking pin on the folding mechanism that acted as an extra safety feature to prevent folding of the stem if the main mechanism were to get loose, BUT I don't have it on my scooter, which is very surprising and disappointing. At the very least, with blue loctite, it doesn't get loose whatsoever, so an easy fix I guess.
Lastly, I recommend that you, the person reading this, when you receive your scooter, please apply red loctite to the two screws that connect the C-arm to the stem, it's very important that those screws don't get loose while you're riding, or ever. Apply blue loctite to any crucial high pressure joints (handlebar mount, folding mechanism, wheel nuts if you charge your tube). ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET. I 100% recommend that you get either an MTB helmet with MTB goggles or a motorcycle helmet. When I'm riding, I also wear motorcycle knee pads and motorcycle gloves.
In short, this scooter is amazing, and is totally worth your purchase. I got it for the early price of $1649, but even for it's retail price it's still a really good deal. It's closest competitor would be the bluetran lightning, but I feel like this scooter is still better and more bang for the buck. Ride safe, scooter gang!

I rate this 4 and a half stars. But since that isn’t an option I’ll bump it to 5.
There’s a lot of things I really like out of this scooter, and a few things I really don’t like. I want to share my honest feedback so here it is.
The shipping process was really good, I got it on a pre launch sale, $850 off. It was said to come in mid November, but it came in just a few business days, it was a nice surprise. The box was in very good shape and had no issues assembling the scooter.
I did have to pump up the tires a little right away, but that’s just a usual thing people should do anyway.
The speed is very impressive, the scooter was fully charged, I maxed out all the settings, and I was able to hit 52mph going on a straight road, with me weighing 130 pounds, 5’11”. And although I haven’t fully tested the range yet, I am sure it’ll be great. I went around for a couple miles, and only lost like a volt of battery. It was at 76.3 and went to 75, still above full.
I love the center screen display with that NFC card feature. You can rotate the screen up and down to match your height easily without it being flimsy or flopping over on you. I like the feel of the Nanrobot Lightning center display better, and it’s easier to read in direct sunlight. But this N6 new display does have a lot to show on the display so I really love that.
The silicone deck is very nice, I prefer it over grip tape.
Another feature I like are all the lights, and horn. The horn is very clean sounding, but I wouldn’t use it on pedestrians since I find it very rude. I put a bell on so I’ll use that for pedestrians and the horn for cars. I like how I can change the color of the deck lights with the push of a button, using the remote it comes with.
Okay now for the things I don’t like. This is the most important, Nanrobot I hope you’re taking notes.
I noticed right away that I really didn’t like the new grips Nanrobot went with at all. They aren’t that big and cramp my hands while riding. They also feel like cheap quality ones you’d find on Temu. I really loved the old grips, they were the best grips I ever had so changing grips for their newer scooters is a disappointment for me. But thankfully it’s an easy switch out, I put on my Rovoron grips and they are much better.
—- Now going down to the stem, I’m suprised nobody has talked about this before. The stem is made out of a cheap plastic. While I appreciate it making the scooter lighter, I don’t like that every time I fold the scooter and pick it up by the stem, it feels like it’s gonna break because of that all that plastic. Maybe go with an aluminum option instead in the future?
And this third one might be more obvious… that deck hook is in a bad spot. If you put your foot on it, it feels like you’re stepping on a nail. I do appreciate this over not having a way to have it folded at all tho.
And lastly, those tubes tires. I never really liked tubes tires so this may just be a personal preference. I wish it had air filled. Tubes tires are very easily proned to get flats and I don’t want to go through that.
Okay now to some more things I like about it….
The suspension is actually just right for me, and I love how I can adjust it. Most are too firm so this is a nice change.
There’s this feature where when you turn on the scooter, and or when you leave it still for a minute, it shows a P next to the speed mode. I was confused about it at first, but this is a safety feature. Just pull on the breaks once and then you can ride. I like how if you have it on zero start, this prevents you from accidentally pulling the throttle and having it speed out on you.
This may not be the perfect scooter, but nothing is. I love the specs, features, and the deal that I got with it. Hopefully this review has been helpful to you :)
