This heavy-duty electric scooter has an 800-watt brushless hub motor that can help you power through the streets. The motor on this thing is awesome and allows you to also take on challenging terrains. While this is a very smooth and easy electric scooter to ride, the motor of this electric scooter almost pushes you and challenges you to try out different terrain and even off-road. The 35-degree incline aspect also means that this motor is highly effective when you are on hilly terrain and want to explore your wild side. The motor is reliable and it surely did deliver up to our expectations.
- Sony STARVIS Sensor
The Sony STARVIS sensors record clearer and brighter images, even in low light or dark surroundings. They also fit it with the WDR feature to capture HD quality video at night. The supercapacitors of A129 offer stable energy for a long time. Because of this capacitor, the dashcam can operate even in extreme weather of -10 to 65 degrees Celsius.
- G and 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi
This Viofo A129 duo applies G and 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi to transmit in 2 different frequencies to prevent wireless interruptions. It promises stable and faster Wi-Fi with blazing speed for transferring all the files. With collision detection, A129 automatically saves 15 seconds of video before and 30 seconds after the accident. The footage gets locked in a secure file, which prevents it from being overwritten.
- External GPS
The external GPS records the route and the speed data in the file of the videos. This allows the user to view the data on playback afterward. The GPS also helps keep the clock of the camera synchronized with its time so that it always corrects time stamps on the videos.
- Easy To Install
The dashcam is also very easy to install on the back and the front windshield, because of its compact and discreet design implementing the 3M stickers. The plan also makes it almost invisible to notice without blocking the view. We would suggest cleaning the windshield before installing the device.
Further, the A129 dashcam is an excellent camera with an exceptional video and audio quality and offers a lot of features and value for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Does this dashcam include a motion detection facility?

Should the dashcam plug in the lighter socket or the USB port?
The lighter plug in the A129 includes two ports that allow both camera and camera plugged in. It also comes with a hardware kit that can connect the device directly to the fuse box. This leaves the lighter socket to use for other purposes.
Will removing the rear camera from the back window will peel out any tint?
The adhesive that is used to mount the A129 camera is durable and durable. Removing the mount from the glass-covered with a tint might cause damage to it. If it has a defogger wire in it, then the tint might further destroy the wires. You can purchase a plastic mount for the back camera separately. We would recommend buying a separate mount and leaving the attached one as it is.
