Tom's Gadget Garage
I’m Tom, and this is Tom’s Gadget Garage.
On this channel, I test electric scooters and e‑bikes in real riding conditions — not just quick spins or spec breakdowns. I focus on range tests, hill climbs, ride quality, and everyday usability so you can see how these products actually perform before you buy.
Some products are provided for review, but all opinions are my own. If something impresses me, I’ll say it. If it doesn’t, I’ll be honest about that too.
If you’re looking for practical, no‑nonsense reviews backed by real riding, welcome to the Garage

New addition to the stable, Hiley Tiger King RS with the Samsung battery. Excited to put this thing through its paces.

This InMotion C10 looks interesting for $599. I bought one to review on the channel. 36V, dual motor, 1400W peak, full suspension, and disc brakes. I’m very curious to see how well this climbs steep grades. Battery is relatively small at 10.4Ah, so it’s going to be more appropriate for shorter commutes. Not exactly light at 62lbs though.

I’m going to give GoPro another try. I stopped using them back in 2024 due to overheating issues, random glitches that would torpedo my footage, and awful battery life. This Mission 1 Pro looks very promising. I will film a night ride with it on a scooter this weekend. I have no clue how it will turn out. Fingers crossed 😅. Hopefully the Bluetooth mic connection works as gloriously as DJI’s and not like Insta360’s lol.

Quick update on videos. I’ll have more scooter content coming soon. I’ve been covering e-bikes heavily as I want to get all the crazy long range tests in before summer settles in. 4 hour ebike range tests in 100F+ temps is exhausting, so I’m taking advantage of the 90s while they last.
I’m waiting on delivery of the Hiley Tiger Supra. Started tests on the Ausom K20, and will likely do an Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar night ride very soon. I’m also looking for some new places to take the Segway GT3 Pro on rides. Should have more videos on that and the VMAX VX4 soon. More in the works.

Couple updates on upcoming video series. Just took delivery of the new Juiced Scramblers. I put 20 miles on the Full Suspension version the first night I got it. Incredibly satisfying ride so far. Can’t wait to get the series started.
I also just got confirmation that Hiley is sending over the Tiger Supra with the 45Ah Samsung battery. Excited to kick off that series. I’m really hoping it’s got the same, smooth ride as the EVO GTR. Not looking forward to the range test though. 2,700Wh of battery capacity 😅. The record holders for most range on the channel are the Segway GT3 Pro (56mi), Lectric XPeak 2.0 (55mi), and Apollo Phantom 2.0 Stellar (50mi). Battery in the Supra has 25% more capacity than the GT3…

If you're in the market for a folding electric bike, Ride1Up just put their Portola on sale. Looks like $795 for the 10.4Ah variant and $895 ($300 off) for the 13.4Ah variant. Here's my 120-mile ride-along review of the Portola: https://youtu.be/34r5a6Ox4zE. You can check out which battery and color variants are still available here: go.ride1up.com/SHDH (affiliate link)

Took the VMAX VX4 on a little off road adventure. This used to be a fun little area to ride off road, but new houses are going in :(.

I’ll try and get the Hiley Tiger Evo range test out later this weekend, likely Sunday. I’ve got a motorcycle training course I need to attend, but I will try my best to get it out. The tire change video will come after. I wanted to test the scooter in its stock configuration before changing things up.
Ausom Gosoul 2 Pro range test will go live tomorrow morning :). I’ll include a comparison chart so you can see how it stacks up.
Here are results of some of my other tests on the website: tomsgadgetgarage.com/testing-results
I have the same thing for e-bikes, just need to organize the data and upload it. Should have bike data up soon.
