In this video I will be having a closer look at the cheapest street-legal E-Scooter I could find on the Internet. It is called the eScooter Street One from Aldi and I will not only tell you my personal opinion about it but I will also upgrade some of its electrical features. That means I will try to increase its speed, range, charge up time and also change the fact that the lights require their own little batteries. Let's get started!
