Thanks Mike. For me the damper takes out the general nervousness of the steering. At 65 I don't want to get into a tank slapper and bail off it.

I watched a good video. I also replaced all 16 of the existing bearings with precision bearings in the same monorim product for the front suspension, replaced them with exa hydraulic coil shocks, and installed a street bar by myself instead of a damper.

I'm genuinely impressed with your video and your modifications. I'm looking forward to checking out getting the 12 V upgrade.

Thank you for such a detailed video on this model. I've recently purchased a G30P. I hope I can utilize some of the information you've offered here to modify mine

Fantastic mods, I still slightly disagree with the 48 Volt mod for several reasons, but that's my opinion. I don't like risking overheating and burning up the motor, burning connectors, adding weight, increasing charger carryon weight, going through tires faster, etc. The Front and rear suspension were pretty interesting, but that steering damper could be a lifesaver I'm sure.

Dam man 😁 That is awesome work you done 😊 i got same scooter but only have same damper in front (not with that extra dampping thing you have).But all you have done,with extra battery,ventalation so i not get hot ect :D Wish i did know a smart guy like you here in Norway,that coud do the same stuff for me :D Great work man,no doubt 😎 👍

To help stop both the rear & front suspension springs from making a noice. Add some car grease to both springs. That to stop / help tons.

Great video. Love the idea with the wondow to oberserve the interiors. Couple question: What are lengths of those shock absorbers that you use? I know that there are 150, 165 and 190 mm options. What I could see other people do is they put a 165 mm on the front suspension and 150 mm on the back. It seems like this also solves the problem of leveling the scooter. Another question is about folding the scooter. After the installation of the rear monorim suspension is it still possible to attach the clip which is on the handlebar to the monorim hook on your scooter? Cheers.

@Nonbock

Both my shocks are 150mm, but the 160 on the front as you say should work great to lift it up and save all the modifications I did. Yes you can still fold the handle down and clip it to the monorim hook. You will have to twist the clip on the handlebar a little.

I have most of these mods on mine as of late. I really want to raise the front as well. I'm not experienced with welding however - is the finished product as strong and able to take the force and impacts as before welding? Is that a consideration?

First of all, thanks for the info sharing. May I ask more about your experience with the front suspension only? I will do some upgrades, but I'm not sure if I want a rear suspension. Is the rear suspension make a substantial difference? My guess is that the front could be a gamechanger, but the rear does not add so many values as the front when you upgrade the stock setup. What is your opinion about this?

@Nonbock

2 жыл бұрын

You are correct in your thinking. I started with the front only and ran it like that for a while and I was happy with the modification. The air shock is important though, it makes the experience so much better and refined. However after adding the rear, it made a further improvement especially when hopping off curbs and on bumpy surfaces.

You said the stock suspension came with a spring and a tube but I thought there was never any suspension on the G30 Max until now with the G2 that just came out.

Nice mods Alex... well done! Just to let you know that Monorim offers the DMXE and MXRE series now with these same air shocks...unfortunately with single chamber only. Their front suspension is a twin shock system...do you think that might be a better option than a single shock? This will permit to pressurize less than with a single shock and it would be a redundancy security in the event of a shock failure. Cheers, Phil

@Nonbock

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Phil, I am not 100% sure how the single chamber compares. My guess is that the dual chamber helps with top out damping, ie when the front wheel comes off the ground there may be a clunk noise as the shock goes to full extension on the single chamber unit.

@Nonbock

2 жыл бұрын

A dual shock setup is redundant and not necessary in my opinion. The air shocks I have had for about 8 months now and they don't lose pressure at all. Very well made.

Russell, I have changed only one valve stem. A new one came with a replacement tire, so I tried installing it. I discovered that the new stem diameter was slightly larger than the original one and would not go through the hole in the rim. So I compared the size of the original stem and the new one and drilled out the hole in the wheel by that same amount. It wasn't much, about 0.2mm. After that I applied some soapy solution to the valve and it pulled through the hole without any problems. It has been fine ever since.

Just a heads up. The brake leaver is set that way for a good reason. You dont need to have all four fingers on the leaver to get most out of your brakes. Same as in the bike world. one to two fingers is enough. With four you are running risk of over streching your cable or damaging brake system.

@Nonbock

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I had to rotate the loop on the handlebar a little but there is a hook on the rear Monorim suspension and it works just like the original

You're brake is supposed to be positioned that way because you're supposed to keep a grasp on the bar while you're breaking, only 1 or 2 fingers on the brake lever, because if you hit a bump it could knock the handle bar from your grip. The higher end scooters have short brake levers so you can't squeeze it on your fingers

No, except for some pressure guidelines, mostly important to note that the larger chamber needs to be a higher pressure than the smaller one. I experimented with different pressures to get the best feel. As I recall 40psi in the large chamber and 30 in the small one. Note that the seals stick to the shaft after about a day of non use. You have to bounce the scooter to free up the seal then it will be fine for the ride.

I love my es3 but also hated some stuff to it. I was on Budget when I bought my ES3 got it for like $120 like new from someone who bought it but didn’t like it so let it sit. But one thing I hated was the electronic brakes I wished it had a disk or drum brake to help have more braking power. Didn’t like not having suspensions in the rear either So I bought a pneumatic 8in wheel with drum brakes and drilled 3 holes on my scooter to fit a lever brake with the drum brakes and wheels so much better Other thing I hated was how short the handle bars were, as some who goes cycling having proper bar length was important so I 3d printed an extension and bought new bicycle grips also and added a customer peak design Mount also.

Yes Justin, The 150mm length shock was a direct replacement for the original spring unit that came with the Monorim. Note that the air shock seals will stick when left unused overnight or longer. You have to bounce on the scooter to unstick them at the beginning of each ride. After unsticking, they are fine for the rest of the ride until it sits a while without use. Apply some oil to the shock shaft to reduce the sticking effect. (they advise that in the info that comes with them)

On the early design front suspension video you have seen, the front fender did not move up and down with the wheel so when the suspension compressed, the wheel would contact the fender and act like a sudden brake. The design now has a fender mount that goes up and down with the wheel and clearance remains constant. No longer an issue.

Although I must admit that I’m also guilty of operating with just one hand I’ll strongly recommend that both hands should be on the handlebars at all times. It’s just not worth it. If you have to take off one of your hands for whatever reason just stop for a moment until you are done and take off again. While it can be annoying to come to a stop a few times during a ride in reality it won’t increase your travel time in a meaningful way. Having an accident on the other hand will cost you that at minimum. Scooters are dangerous enough as it is (mainly because of riding position) but at least with a firm grip on both handlebars you can have enough control to lessen the severity of any accident. Trust me - the last thing you want is to hit some nasty pothole, collide with something or someone. Actually even the tiniest patch of dust or sand can cause a skid you’ll remember for a long time.
