Jimmy took the Onewheel GT for a rented spin around Oahu, and the verdict is clear: more torque, more range, and hill climbing that no longer needs babying. The nose handle, brighter app controlled lights, and an optional treaded tire finally check off years of wishlist items. It's not a clean sweep though, a warning beep too quiet to hear and reports of DOA units and ghosting keep it from perfect, but for anyone cruising under 20 mph, it's a real step up from the XR.

The NAVEE V50 is a budget commuter scooter with a unique handlebar folding mechanism Jimmy and Andrew have never seen before — the handlebars rotate and lock directly into the steering pole, creating a slim, rigid folded profile. Beyond that standout feature, the V50 delivers disc brakes, a sharp landscape display, IP55 water resistance, and a hidden AirTag slot. The criticism list is short but honest: the display scratches easily, the app is a repurposed smart home platform that feels out of place, and the tubed tires are more flat-prone than tubeless alternatives. For budget-conscious commuters who want the most portable, weather-ready scooter in the category, the V50 is well worth a look.

Jimmy spent several weeks putting the OtO Smart Sprinkler through real-world tests in his Colorado yard, tackling brown patches, precision edge watering, drought conditions, and vacation plant care. The verdict: a surprisingly capable targeted watering system that delivers great results without trenches, contractors, or a permanent commitment. It is not a one-unit solution for large properties, and it works best as a precision tool for small to medium spaces, problem zones, and potted plants. For homeowners who want more efficient watering without turning their yard into a construction project, the OtO makes a compelling case to buy.

The Kandi NFL Golf Cart is a four-seat electric cart available in all 32 NFL team wraps, sold through Lowe's and assembled in Texas, and it delivers a surprisingly premium experience for what is essentially a neighborhood cruiser. Andrew and Jimmy were genuinely impressed by the ride quality, feature set, and the sheer fun factor of rolling around in officially licensed team colors. That said, the cart has some real frustrations: most notably a significant throttle dead zone that makes low-speed maneuvering awkward, turn signals that never self-cancel, and storage compartments that offer no security. It is a strong buy for the right person, but they should know the full extent of the rough edges first.

The NOSFET Apex is a legitimate evolution of the Veteran Lynx platform, offering the same proven Leaperkim firmware and motor in a slightly lighter, narrower chassis with one meaningful addition: a DNM air suspension system adjustable from 70mm to 150mm of travel that genuinely works for both street and off road riding. At 85.8 lbs with a 3,200W motor, 151.2V system, and 2,700Wh Samsung 50S battery pack, the specs are strong for the class. The biggest criticism is that the suspension adjustment mechanism on the test unit was difficult (not impossible by any means), but still a frustrating flaw in the wheel's headline feature. Riders who want a EUC that covers both surfaces without buying a dedicated off road machine will find the Apex earns that role, though it comes with some execution gaps (at least on our test unit).

The Rawrr Mantis X Pro takes the proven Mantis X platform and implements some serious upgrades: peak motor output more than doubles to 15,000W, torque jumps to 288 ft-lb, top speed climbs from 50 to 65 mph, and the battery grows to a 72V 35Ah pack using higher quality 50S lithium-ion cells. The safety and lighting upgrades are equally significant: a genuinely bright front light, an added brake light and tail light, larger brake pads with more stopping surface, and a reinforced rear linkage that addresses a known failure point across the category. Real world range under hard riding came out to approximately 26 miles, with 62 miles available in Eco mode (according to Rawrr). The honest caveat is that the turn signal buttons are present but connect to nothing, the off road tires are dangerously slippery on smooth pavement until broken in, and the team felt upgrades to suspension and voltage should have been present for the asking price. Whether the $800 premium over the standard Mantis X is worth it comes down to how much the performance ceiling and safety upgrades matter to the buyer: for riders who want maximum power from the Rawrr lineup, the Pro is the clear answer.

The Rawrr Mantis Mini R is a genuinely well-built mini dirt bike that punches above its size class with premium components, a sinewave controller that delivers smooth and tunable power delivery, and a Bluetooth app that lets you dial the bike up or down depending on who is riding it. The headline feature is the upgrade path: buy the stock R with smaller tires for a younger kid, then swap to the R17 kit as they grow taller and more skilled, without buying a whole new bike. Testing showed the R17 configuration hits 45 mph and counterintuitively produced better acceleration than the stock setup, which the team attributes to tighter chain tension after reassembly. The honest limitations are suspension that bottoms out for riders over roughly 150 pounds, no headlight, no key-based security, and an upgrade kit that ships without any installation instructions. Best suited for families with kids growing into the sport, or adults who want a compact and capable neighborhood pit bike and understand they are riding a mini platform rather than a full sized machine.
