00:00Welcome to the new video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04This time, everything revolves around an exciting topic of urban mobility,
00:09the Merkin Widwool Pro Scooter from Dryadr,
00:11which not only stands out due to its design,
00:13but is currently also being traded as a real bargain.
00:19The current price of around €850 is truly remarkable for what this scooter offers.
00:26The unusual concept is immediately apparent.
00:30As the name suggests, the Widwool has particularly wide wheels.
00:35According to the manufacturer, these are not only intended to increase control and stability,
00:40but also to provide a sporty, urban look reminiscent of typical road vehicles.
00:46Particularly practical, the tires are airless and filled with polyurethane foam,
00:50which makes them insensitive to potholes, small obstacles and road damage.
00:55A real advantage in everyday city life.
00:57Since airless tires tend to provide less shock absorption than air-filled tires,
01:03rider relies on full suspension on the front and rear wheels.
01:08This ensures that the Widwool rides much more comfortably than many of its competitors.
01:12And that doesn't seem to be just theory.
01:17With over 250 positive reviews and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars,
01:23the riding experience is repeatedly praised.
01:26The suspension is reminiscent of a system used in shopping cart construction,
01:30in which a flexible arm moves when driving over obstacles.
01:33A video on the manufacturer's website even shows a jump with the scooter.
01:39However, it remains unclear how the landing turns out.
01:42Whether that's intentional, who knows.
01:45After all, the overall rating is consistently positive,
01:48which speaks for its suitability for everyday use.
01:51Practicality is also not neglected.
01:53The frame is foldable, which makes it easier to carry upstairs,
01:58take it on the bus or train, or stow it in the trunk.
02:02The handlebars can also be folded in so that nothing gets in the way when carrying it.
02:08Weighing around 24.5 kilograms,
02:11the WE Heel Pro is no lightweight, but it is still easy to carry.
02:15The drive unit consists of two-wheel hub motors,
02:18each with an output of 500 watts.
02:20At peak, they even reach 800 watts, which provides a lot of thrust.
02:28The ESOTER accelerates to 24 kilometers per hour in just over 3 seconds
02:33and reaches a top speed of 42 kilometers per hour.
02:37More than enough for urban commuting.
02:41Even though there are models with higher speeds,
02:43you don't necessarily need full motorcycle protective gear for them.
02:47A helmet should still be mandatory.
02:50The manufacturer does not provide any information on the torque,
02:54but it does provide information on the range.
02:57Ideally, up to 48 kilometers should be possible on a single battery charge.
03:02With a rider weight of 82 kilograms,
03:04the manufacturer realistically estimates that this is around 28 kilometers.
03:09So it's ideal for shorter distances or the infamous last mile.
03:13When it comes to braking, rider relies on cable-operated disc brakes.
03:18They do their job, but could be further upgraded with hydraulic systems,
03:22especially in terms of control and safety.
03:26There is lighting.
03:28However, the ESCOOTER does not offer app control or advanced connectivity.
03:32Instead, there is a central screen to display speed and range
03:37as well as various riding modes such as echo and power.
03:41The throttle is operated in the traditional way by pressing the thumb.
03:46Is the Merkin We Will Pro the right E-Scooter for you?
03:49The previous reviews speak for themselves.
03:54The manufacturer also offers a return option within 14 days,
03:58but only for unused devices.
04:01Used models can be returned for a fee, provided the condition is acceptable.
04:06It is therefore worth reading the return policy carefully beforehand.
04:12If you do not want to take any risks,
04:14you should try to test drive the scooter beforehand
04:16or visit the manufacturer in Sacramento when you have the opportunity.
