I'm in a wheelchair, so I bought this because I knew I could make a bracket out of aluminum to connect to it. Too locked down my wheelchair.. And I knew that the handlebars adjusted. And the foot plate is not as high as some of the other electric scooters. But I wanted something power enough to carry me in my wheelchair around. This was the best scooter I could find to make it happen.. And it works great!!
Built really strong. When in Sport mode… it flys. Easy purchase on line. Thank-you Backfire….. :-)
I had my Rover M8 for a week now, i did some minor modifications on it like the long handlebars, new grips, extra headlights, etc. I ride it to work in the morning and use it to do DoorDashing during the night. Man, this e-scooter gets the job done. The speed is plenty for me to get my food deliveries on time, the battery gives me 3-4 hrs at most for 35kms going all in at speed (40-50km/h), the GPS and NFC security features makes me feel secured, especially i do food deliveries which makes me get on and off my scooter most of the time, the gradual acceleration is not too aggressive which i really love, they built the scooter like a tank, the look of it is kinda unique and amazing, the wide deck gives me plenty space to rest my feet. The only thing that i see of a con is the angle of the tail rest which is too high considering the not too aggressive acceleration. Other than that, man i really love this scooter. Thanks Backfire.❤️
All good! Even better than suspected!
Great quality easy to use
Jag är väldigt nöjd med köpet.
Excellent product! The construction is solid and the price is justified. It's truly an essential purchase if you're buying an electric scooter or skateboard like this one. I've bought two electric scooters from other brands before, but this one is the most beautiful and powerful. I highly recommend this product.
I also have another brand of scooter. The Backfire M8 has similar performance and power, despite the other being double the price. A stronger stem lock than the other also. So, yes I am satisfied. Front suspension needs some improvement, but other than that, a great buy. Thanks.
La m8 un vrais monstre une super trotinette très costaud puissante maniable très jolie elle a tout les équipements que je désirais c'est une super machine bravo à randy le concepteur chapeau elle et vraiment bien le faite en plus d'avoir des batteries Samsung donne confiance et montre qu'il veulent vraiment donné de la qualité au utilisateur franchement j'ai eu bien fait de l'acheter bravo backfire ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Super wow 👍
Wow ! Je l'adore !! Vraiment un bon produits ! . Pleins de caractéristiques qui s fait mon choix haut la mains les concepteur !
Everything about the Backfire M8 electric scooter is awesome. It's very strong and I tried 2 people on an hour ride, nothing changed. The speed, battery health, Everything was normal like there's no weight on it. Infact, love it. And yes, I was amazed how fast I got it in Canada. 2 or 3 working days, aww you guys are doing a great job. People love the design too
This is my first electric scooter and I did quite a bit of research. I actually purchased a different brand that was a bit more expensive but after receiving it, it just felt so large and bulky. I returned it and got the back Fire m8. It’s very quick and all the speed that I’ll need for quite a while. I like how the deck is not super high off the ground and it cruises like a longboard so you can carve it up really nicely. I have a bad back at 40 years old so I can appreciate it size and lower weight. I’ve gotten it up to 38 mph and it felt very stable. I’ve taken it off Road and it does well but it is a bit stiff in the suspension so if you plan on doing a whole lot of trail riding, you might want something softer. Overall, I’m very happy and I’m actually on my way to go for a nice long ride right now! Also, it goes uphill very easily. There’s one place we go camping annually and other people were barely making it up the hill, but I was flying by them at 20 miles an hour.
With rising fuel prices and wanting a way to battle traffic in a better way (I live in Los Angeles), I bit the bullet and and bought the Backfire M8 scooter. I originally was working with a $300 budget, but after a bunch of research I up'd my budget to $500. With hills and needing the ability to travel 5-6 miles at a time with some (Hollywood) hills on my route, I had to step up to a $800 budget. I decided on the M8, and have now been riding for 3 weeks. I can't tell you how much I LOVE this scooter. My commute is enjoyable and quick. The dual motors are a no brainer for me, as well the quickness. I out run traffic in stop n go traffic. The ride is smooth, due to the dual suspension. The torque going up steep(er) hills is great. Right now, I couldn't be happier about my purchase. I'm an older guy (fit), 165lbs and this thing flies. Buy a helmet people...the other day I was riding to work and literally a dude in front of me on a scooter wiped out and I watched his head bounce off a car hood (parked). He was fine, but It was painful for him, and for me to watch.
Love it!
I honestly love this scooter the speed and torque it has was a bang for the buck. Beautiful scooter with tracking that was easy to set up and helps me put my mind to ease if I ever leave the scooter unattended. I also like that the deck of the scooter is pretty low compared to other scooters which are higher, it gives it a more balanced weight to it. Amazing scooter. Can’t wait to ride it when I get out of work!
🤟🤟🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥perfect
My first scooter. I have ebikes but this is waaaay more fun. It shipped well and was easy to unpack/setup. Im 250lbs and I hit 36mph! Plenty of speed for me. I've had it for a couple weeks and I've done multiple 15+ mile trips. Its an absolute blast. Love the gps feature. Its very smooth and easy to ride. If you're thinking about getting one just stop thinking and buy one! One of my favorite purchases I've ever done.
This scooter is amazing! I got it for my wife and it had what she want and what she wanted was a wide deck and a foot rest, and had what I wanted and that's the samsung battery and dual motor and the controls!! Im glad I did more research! Perfect scooter!!
This thing is AWESOME! After doing copious research, I concluded that I cannot get more scooter for the same amount of money. The Samsung cells were the icing on the cake. Trying to figure out how to swing a 2nd one!
I compared this to several other brands on the market; some 1.5x the price. This thing is awesome. I can’t believe how well it accelerates going up a hill, as well as flat. The platform is nice and wide and long enough for a 6’1” 200lb guy. I’ve put 40 miles on it in the first week. Glad I chose the M8. Side note, the owner is active in forums and seems to listen to his customers.
Love this thing. So fun and just the right amount of speed and power. And range is amazing. Me and my lady (she’s on the other scooter) went on a 14 mile ride and we both had about 70 percent charge left according to our voltage charts. It’s cool how our scooters kinda match up in range with our weight differences. Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase. Great product from a great company. Keep it up!!
The build quality of the scooter is excellent. I am very impressed. I love the scooter and have been riding it for a few weeks without any issues. When the scooter arrived, the front tire was at 40psi and the back tire at 46psi. The cold pressure rating on the tire sidewall states that the maximum is 36psi, so I’m not sure why it was shipped with such high pressure. The outside shipping box was a bit banged up, but the inner box was in better shape. However, the Styrofoam inside was completely destroyed in some areas. This caused the scooter to be covered with small white Styrofoam pieces, both on the surface and inside every tiny crevice, especially around small grease points. Weeks later, I’m still removing small pieces of white Styrofoam from under the flight plate mat and elsewhere. Aside from the package getting pretty banged up during shipping, I haven't had any issues with the scooter. It’s a great-looking scooter, and the ride is smooth. I hope it lasts a long time.
Ordering my scooter was super easy and arrived in just a few days. Simple assembly and I was riding within minutes. This scooter is fast and a blast to ride. I am really happy with it.
Very impressive and works like a well oiled machine. Played with each mode and was shocked how fast it goes.
One of the best scooter I ever owned
I love it! The best bang for the buck, high quality
My scooter just arrived today the shipping was really fast, I used already today and is really powerfull and beautiful, just 2 things I didn't like too much the scooter is low so you can hit your scooter in the lower part, and is really heavy is hard to move, but the scooter driving it is amazing, just get a helmet and protection cause this thing can go really really fast...
Great scooter for the price. Rugged and fun.
Awesome little scooter, for the money it can't be beat. Gps feature is a game changer
Best and very affordable 💯👍
I had a kick scooter as a kid, took a metal roller-skate apart and attached both ends to a 2 by 4 for a skateboard. Now that I am turning 75 this year - the Backfire is a blast. I have added a phone rack and bought a backpack to pick up mail. Although the supplied NC cards were a problem - I bought new blank 1K 13.56 MHz RFID Smart Cards and several round plastic fobs. They paired and worked great. I like the fob on my keychain better. I get a lot of "looks" around my neighborhood and questions on "where did you get that?"'. Using the Backfire scooter to & from the pickleball courts with the paddle on my back is way fun.
So I was planning my spring break vacation in so.florida and needed transportation while there. Since I ride my e scooters 365 ( haven't bought a tank of gas for 3yrs, in fact the car hasn't left the driveway)I decided to purchase my 4th. the M8 won out. I looked at many and im extremely happy. I still can't believe the price because I own 2 wolf king pro and the M8 ranks right along side and yes it like apples to oranges but the build quality is strong, design beautiful ( it was definitely turning heads at the beach) the app. Was easy to access and user friendly . Being able to adjust height of handle bar aloud my girl to ride . In fact she kept it she liked it so much. People are crazy not to buy one. And me , im looking forward for the next one to be developed.
This scooter surprised me. For under $800 I wasnt expecting the speed and build quality. This could easily be sold for $1600!
Execeptional build quality checked all nuts and bolts after unboxing all were super snug . Have only put 16 miles on it so far . Winter in the Midwest is a pain . But very impressed so far have recommended to several colleges and friends this far .
Loving it so far! Makes my daily work commute a blast, and I can keep up with most traffic in sport mode. Love the nfc cards and app is great as well! Hoping for many many miles on this beast!
I’ve put a good number of miles on this thing already and I love it. I’m a bigger guy at about 230 pounds and it still gets me to top speed every time no matter where the battery is sitting. The power delivery feels strong and consistent, which makes riding around town feel easy and predictable. For range, riding at full speed on flat ground, I’m seeing about 20 to 25 miles. That is honestly better than I expected considering how hard I ride it. I have not tried to stretch it in eco yet, mostly because it is just too much fun to keep it turned down. The GPS is one of my favorite peace of mind features. I can lock it up somewhere, set the geofence, and check the app to make sure it is still exactly where I left it. That alone makes me feel way more comfortable bringing it places. The suspension feels tuned for speed. It can handle some rougher terrain, but you can tell it really wants to be moving on pavement. Acceleration is quick, it is super maneuverable, and it always feels ready to go. My only real wishes would be front turn signals in the handlebars and a less aggressive kick plate. I would prefer to stand more front to back instead of side to side for stability. Those are pretty small complaints though. Overall I absolutely adore this scooter and have been riding it all over town to different events and meetups. Every time I step off it I am already looking forward to the next ride.
This eScooter is all around awesome. It was delivered fast and we were impressed by the very secure packaging ! My husband put it together and got everything set up quickly. He was impressed with the ease of setup, how Beefy and safe this scooter feels, and how easy it was to set up everything and use the App . I haven't been able to test drive it this week as I've had a family emergency but my husband and his best friend drove it yesterday and were very impressed with both the handelling and the speed / power of this scooter. He also appreciates the secure card to keep it safe and to have the ability to limit the speed.
I always have a long daily commute, so a reliable e-scooter with good range is essential for me. My home to work is about 12 miles each way. Ever since I got the test version of the M8, I’ve been riding it to work every day, and I’m absolutely thrilled! The Samsung battery and 30-mile range give me complete peace of mind, and I’ve saved a ton on parking fees and gas every month. On weekends, I sometimes ride it to visit friends, and I really love using its built-in GPS to check my route.
Most definitely one of the BEST E-Scooters out there in the market right now. 👍🏽👍🏽
