- We review the E-Twow S2 GT Electric Scooter. This electric scooter is the perfect commuter scooter being super lightweight, having a large-sized motor, and packed with features. It's great getting around cities, climbing hills, and storing in compact places. If you don't have a good electric vehicle yet, I would highly recommend the E-Twow.
Take a look at this scooter here: www.ewheels.co...

The E-Twow! It stands for Electric Two Wheel :) My original commute scooters were Booster models. They have thousands of miles on them and were great. I just got used to heavier scooters and wanted the power. The GT has a great combo. For those saying this is a copy of the Zoom Stryder have it backwards. The E-Twow was the original.
Awesome, thanks for your insight here! I definitely like the t-twow and think it would make a great commuter complement to owning a monster scooter.
@@AlienRides Another thing that makes the E-Twow even more portable...once folded you can hold it by the rear wheel and trolley it around. I always thought with just a bit more power the Booster would be one of the best commuter scooters around. The GT looks like that is the realization of that ask :) I just have too many scooters these days. I still have both my E-Twows as they are still running.
Keep the videos coming, its helping me get through the winter here on the east coast. Not being able to ride sevrely sucks lol
Hah yeah, I moved out to Cali from the east coast and have become spoiled by the weather here. Unfortunately it’s been drizzling, I’m riding but hard to make videos right now.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Rohan Samuel instablaster :)
Love the hill test. Please include this into future videos as it really shows the power a scooter has. For me it's a deal breaker if a scooter can't make a hill like that. Awesome video, thanks for making great quality videos.
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely to see what kinds of tests I can include for people with various requirements. I think not a lot of people need a scooter that can climb a hill this steep, but it's a good indication of torque and power. Ride safe! ⚡️💪
@@AlienRides Yes, many hills on my commute to work over 21km distance each way. Being able to fly up hills saves a ton of time. San Fran hills though are a bit steep! Subscribed and can't wait to ride :-)
Just have to reiterate that I'm amazed by the package that this super lightweight scooter has. For 26 pounds it really is amazing. Don't forget to subscribe!
It's a great commuter scooter but for $300 more I'm going with the Dualtron Mini. I'm in love with it. Someone recommended it to me yesterday.

Great review. This appears to be an ideal commuter. Anyone who has to lift their ride onto Caltrain can appreciate the importance of saving weight. It's great that you took it up a challenging hill. Nice to see where it finally gives up. Keep those videos coming. (I sure wish you review e-skateboards :-)
Thanks for stopping by, and for the request. I want to do more with esk8 stuff in the future, let me see what we can do there!
I have one of those at my hometown where roads are new, and not a lot of potholes/cracks. In Toronto, I've ridden the Inokim OXO for almost 7000 km now, and it's working great even at sub-zero weather. I highly recommend that you give the Inokims a try.
Awesome, I would love to try the OXO sometime, looks like a really great scooter to have taken you that many miles. Ride safe!
Great review, thanks mate. Very impressive package for what it is.
Good review - that hill is like Marty's "over heat hill" test but on pavement LOL. I know I would not get it if a hill like that was on my route to work. But for those that dont have a death climb it looks ok.
Cheers
Thanks, this hill is not nearly as extreme as Marty's hill, but it's a good test for smaller commute scooters. I would like to find as big of a hill around the SF bay area once these scooters start to conquer the hill a bit better.
If i didn’t already have a scooter that weights 48 lbs, does 22 mph, 20 miles, with dual spring suspensions i would consider this e-twow s2 gt as a first scooter. But i will wait for a performance commuter weighing 50 lbs (2 staircases), do 30 mph and 30 miles, under $2k, i think it’ll be a long wait (2 years?)
Yeah, technology is continuing to advance, but weight is definitely hard to overcome. 👽🖖
Great review! How do you think this compares to the SPEEDWAY MINI 4 PRO? I know the mini pro is slightly faster but also a bit heavier. I'm trying to decide between the two as far as which will hold up better over time and has better reliability. Warranty, portability, maintenance, ride quality, build quality, acceleration, tires, features, customer service, etc. are also some of the things I'm looking to compare. I would really appreciate your feedback or any additional comments you would like to make. thanks!
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Unfortunately i have not had much in-depth experience with the Speedway Mini 4 Pro, so I can only really go off of published specs. My feeling is that they're pretty similar build quality though, and should both get the job done. The E-twow is going to be slightly lighter. I guess the display and acceleration mode would be a little bit different, thumb throttle on this, vs finger on the Mini 4. Besides that I don't really know, either would do fine I think! Warranty and support should be the same, since you can get both at the same seller, who has excellent service: www.ewheels.com/alien
It's pronounced “E-2“ or “E-Two“ and it's a romanian Company. I had the predecessor, the S2 Booster V and it was still a fine scooter. Small, lightweight, fast and agile, but a bit uncomfortable for long rides because of the small and narrow deck. I sold it because i'm not a huge fan of scooters with front motors. Now i'm using a tuned IO Hawk Exit Cross, which is absolutely identical to the chinese Tarsa T9 offroad-scooter. Not a perfect product at all. Much heavier and bulkier, but much more range and comfort. Perfect for the daily commute! Greetings from ESK8 NRW Germany. 👋
Thanks for the clarification! Sounds like you got a nice solution for commuting, awesome! 🛴💪
You should raise the handle bar height dude!
Yeah, maybe should’ve, I actually like it kinda low though 😅
What about range test video?
Thanks for the request, it’s coming next week actually 😁
Ok, I'm waiting for it😊
I have both this and the boosted rev. I actually paid less for the rev on black friday... I use the etwow (read like e-2) much more because of portability. It’s by far the most powerful scooter for its weight. The only thing I don’t love is the initial acceleration, It’s progressive, you get the full power after 3-5 seconds, so it starts relatively softly, even compared to a scooter like the the nineboot ES4, which I own too, but then it becomes more powerful and faster. The rev is on another league. But it’s almost twice as heavy and has less than half the range...So.. it is more fun but not as convenient. I think everyone that has a big scooter should have a GT for when portability matters (stairs, trains, etc.).
Awesome, thanks for the insight from a rev owner. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on the Rev too, congrats on the purchase. Agree about what you said about this scooter being for when portability matters, it's super compact!
@@AlienRides Yeah, and you know what, call me crazy, but I am also buying something in between, the dual motor etwow. The weight it's half way between the GT and the Rev and power is very close to the rev (1300 nominal) but it's as compact as an etwow (the rev it a bit too big to bring into a supermarket, shop etc. I have done it, but not ideal). And above all, it has more range than even the GT with a 21ah battery. But it's not water resistant, so I'll use the Rev when it rains...
@@_Digitalguy Are you saying there is a dual motor E-twow with the same form factor as this GT, and if so do you have a link? I am in love with this form factor and compactness but would like something with a bit more acceleration and hill climbing ability.
@@sac916jared yes, its the same form factor as the E-twow V, not the GT, but with 2 motors and 2 batteries (21ah). It weighs 17kg because of that, but is as compact as the etwow V. It does not have a bit more acceleration, it has a lot more... It's a little beast. However it's sold exclusively in Spain and I had to import it from Spain with the shipping and customs costs that go with it.... I
@@_Digitalguy Oh wow that's really interesting, thanks for the reply. Sounds like a rad version of this scooter, a shame it's only available in Spain. Seeing as you also own an ES4, would you rate the acceleration of the GT as comparable to it? I had an ES2 as my first ever scooter, and thought it was fine, but then got the extra battery to turn it into an ES4 and was very pleasantly surprised with the improved acceleration. I'm still considering upgrading (or rather sidegrading, I guess) to this E-Twow GT due to the form factor and the slightly higher top speed, but I don't think I could go back to something with acceleration that's more sluggish than my current ES4.
Check out the 2020 GT. They fixed everything you could possibly want...its great!
Awesome, I would love to do a video on the 2020 GT. E-twow makes some really great scooters.
@@AlienRides They sure do. I've been riding e-scooters since 2003 starting with the Xootr EX3. You probably have never heard of it but it was the closest thing you could get to the GT back then. Sadly, Xootr discontinued it but here's hoping they'll bring it back.
Thanks that hill climb test solidified my choice to get an EUC for my commute. I live in SF and if I can't climb these hills with a PEV it's pointless, I just assumed all ES could climb these hills I guess because I currently own a OneWheel PINT and even that can do these hills no problem
EUCs are awesome for sure. For super steep hills though, a dual motor scooter always beats my EUC, so it's just relative to the size and weight I suppose. Have you tested your Pint up California street? I'm curious how that does.
@@AlienRides yes I live in that area , I haven't ridden California that length but I have the steep sections and it does it pretty easily, I can be at a dead stop on the incline and it can accelerate
The ECs that you are talking about are way to heavy for portability. I pre-ordered the V8F from InMotion but was considering an ES it needed to be light weight enough too be portable though. Looks like that combination of power+portability is still not available in the ESs a available today
@@MrSpeedFrk Awesome. V8F should be able to conquer pretty much any hill in SF, it's a great little package. Nice choice!
@@AlienRides I did a longer ride along California this morning on the Pint from California & Davis up to Powell
The Pint handled the entire climb with ease and very little battery consumption. For reference, I'm 155lbs but in addition to that I had on some gear and a backpack, the Pint did it so easily it probably could have handled another 30lbs
The only downside to the Pint for me is handling the busy intersection crossings with lots of people and where the sidewalks have those short narrow dips that creates the bottlenecks. Having to dismount and mount and navigate those sections is the only reason I'm looking to the V8F as it can handle more bumpy curbs etc. + the additional speed
Besides that the Pint is super fun and nimble, if it wasn't for the points I mentioned I would totally be fine with it, I don't think the EUC will be as fun as the Pint is. It definitively deserves props
MrSpeedFrk awesome, thanks for the datapoint! I’ve never done a video on a OneWheel. Maybe I should borrow one for the day and make a review, or team up with a friend who has one.
Great video
I am 250 lb you think it with handle good the weight or better find like zero 10 or any suggestions other than loose weight ;);)
I think you will get some speed for sure and it could handle your weight, but a bigger scooter is going to get you quite a bit more acceleration power. It depends on your speed needs I suppose.
Alien Rides thank you i am in Florida so we don’t have hills i like this one for the portability .
Awesome review. I'm stuck between this and the zero 8/turbowheel swift. Do either stand out as the better choice? Cheers!
It's hard to say, I think the E-twow might be a little bit more polished and possibly a better commuter solution, but the turbowheel swift might be more fun for cruising. Both are great choices
@@AlienRides How is the Swift more fun than this GT for cruising?...Better suspension?
@@aragorn318 Yeah, maybe just the suspension? Both are really awesome for sure, now that I think about it more maybe the GT has more power than the swift also?
That is a cute scooter!
Super cute compared to Dualtron! 😂 Definitely nice and compact though. Ride safe!
Awsome vid and awsome scooter but its not for me but ima still watch the vid your vids are really entertaning and you are my Favrouite electric ridable channell and your channel is growing so fas
Awesome, thanks for the support as always man :) I want to be able to cover all electric vehicles some day.
I'm actually surprised by the performance in comparison to it's budget scooter look.
I think the Boosted Rev is the MOST beautiful scooter but 23 minute run-time and 7.5 mile range is a NO-GO.
Okay now to finish watching the other half.
Yeah, for the size and price this scooter is really good I think. Also found it to be pretty high quality as well.
I don't know man, that looked like some pretty generous takeoff pushing on the flats to get speed for the hill. I love the color display but would never be able to find any of those buttons with gloves on.
It did not defeat the hill, but has done better than any single motor scooter so far. This was with zero kicks and only scooter throttle, and stopping before the steepest part. Agree about the buttons being small. Modding it with some accessible handlebar buttons would be nice.
@@AlienRides oh okay that makes it more fair then. I thought you were pushing from stop at that red light right before where it died.
Agreed though, better than most so far. I still think you'll need 1000w on a very light scooter to kill that hill. We'll see. Does the zero 8x make it up?
Ginger On Wheels good point, my hunch is that the dual motor 8x would make it up that hill. I’ll have to test that!
powerful for small package 👽👍
Yeah, it's really great for sure! I think this would be a great option for a first time scooter buyer since it's so easy to stash somewhere and carry if needed.
@@AlienRides agreed
aliens riding a low-performing scooter...? now i have seen everything. lol
well anyway, nice review!!!👍👍
Hehe, I want to review everything electric, including commuter solutions. I will have some more Dualtron/Weped/Rion content soon though. 😁
What percent grade do you think that long steep hill is? What scooters would make it up there at a decent speed? Thanks with all these great videos.
I think it’s about a 25% grade or so, it’s pretty steep. Dualtron Thunder and Speedway make it up fairly fast, but those are dual motor beasts. I think this commuter did really well for its weight though.
That s a romanian made scooter :) i have the same one here in Romania and it s great, a very good commuter :)
Yup, e-twow definitely makes some awesome scooters! Glad you're enjoying yours.
Thanx for review. What theme sounds at the beginning?
Thanks and I'm glad you like it. The song is through epidemicsound, which is a paid service I use for music. I wasn't able to find it outside of that. The song is: Through the Hourglass - nothanks
How does this compare with the Zero 8 and Zero 9 on the hills?
This destroys the zero 8, I haven’t tried against the zero 9 yet, hopefully next year. The GT is so far the best performing commuter scooter on my California street hill test.
Great review! Coming from an M365, this looks like a pretty solid package to upgrade to. My only gripe would be the brakes and the tire traction on the roads in SF. How do you think the electronic/friction braking combo and solid tires + dual suspension compare to a mechanical disc brake and pneumatic tires?
While I think the tires and brakes get the job done here for a commuter scooter, I don't think you're going to be able to compare them to pneumatics and disc brakes. You're going to slide a little bit more, and you might need to use the rear stomp brake on steep hills, but it should do the job for most use cases. I actually did a pretty stressful test around SF on this scooter, which may be relevant to you: th-cam.com/video/bdWukcfagoQ/w-d-xo.html
Alien Rides Aw man, regardless, it still looks like an awesome ride! Keep up the sweet reviews!
Regenerative brakes for the win!
And now in february we have gt plus with 4 new changes hehe
Whoa thanks for the news there! Hope I get to try that scooter too!
@@AlienRides well is basically the same in terms of power and autonomy.
U have now disk brakes, orange reflective bands in the rear forks, kick stand and a protective system added for your own security that prevents the scooter to fold while using it.
Sebastyan Papp 1 sounds like some really nice improvements. Thanks for sharing.
@@AlienRides why don't u put it to the max height??
Sebastyan Papp 1 think I forgot to, and I also don’t mind low handlebars 😅
I have ridden the zoom stryder which is obviously a tweaked rebrand of an e-twow but an earlier version with less power. Overall I found the electronic braking to be utter garbage, the manual brake on the back clumsy and the ride pretty bad, steering column not rigid enough at all quite wobbly, and acceleration jerky. Also the handle bars are not far enough apart making it more unstable. Actually massively preferred riding my m365 even if less powerful. When it came to braking, acceleration smoothness and subtlety, ride and stability the m365 at 1/3 or less of the price blows these e-twows out the water. Portability, low weight and collapsible handle bars are really the only thing that makes these scooters attractive. The Raine scooter that is currently on kickstarter looks far more interesting
The Raine scooter is interesting, but they don’t even mention motor or battery specs in the description, I think a lot of people are going to be upset when they either don’t ship, or ship basically a 365 or worse. I found the brakes to be pretty decent on the e-twow, so I think the stronger motor helps there. I’m glad you have a scooter you enjoy.
@@AlienRides They mention all specs on kickstarter. 750W+ brushless hub motor. Battery: Li-on 48V 500-600WH japanese cells. They are quoting a range of 25 miles and top speed of 31 m/ph with a weight of 12kg. Same weight as Etwow. But over twice the power, twice the speed and twice the range of an m365 also at a similar weight. Its also much more expensive so I think highly unlikely will be anything like an m365. The suspension looks amazing plus carbon fibre/aluminium build and disk brakes. From my experience electronic braking is just vastly inferior to disc braking combined with electronic ABS/regenerative, I was surprised tbh as i thought the stryder would be far better than the m365 on that front but was very disappointed. Raine also already have many working models of this scooter, its already been fully developed and huge support financially, cant see it not being delivered, although you never know. The power to weight to range ratio looks amazing though if they can deliver, best spec on paper ive seen of any scooter at this weight class. The boosted rev for example may be more powerful but is over twice as heavy and a lower top speed and from what i have heard the range is awful, like 10/11 miles tops and very expensive.
corsinivideos nice, hope to try it if it comes out!
@@AlienRides Yeah me too, prob worth seeing the verdict when/if the reviews come out, sadly be a load more expensive after that though. Just very hard to find a low weight machine with decent power, good braking/suspension/range etc at a reasonable price
Nice 👌
Thanks! 🛴💪
Is the 700 W nominal power? If so what is peak power?
I believe 700 watts is nominal power, I’m not sure what peak is but I will try to find out.
@@AlienRides I would be surprised if the 700W is nominal - but awesome if it's true
700 is nominal, but there is no official information on nominal power, my retailer said they estimate it at around 1000w
I just call it the ET-WOW since the company doesn't care to clarify how it's pernounced
Hah, I’m sure there’s an answer somewhere, I’m just not sure myself!
the best scooter...without a stand
😂 that’s true, and I totally forgot to mention that in the review. Folds up nice and compact though so it’s not super necessary.
It comes with a kick stand on the 2020 model, and a physical rear drum brake, same price. I ordered one it was backordered a few weeks and got a coupon code as a pre orders. 999.99 shipped
E two w....electric two wheels.. so I heard it was pronounced
Hah yeah, I think I got a few corrections after that! Regardless, the they make awesome scooters!
Looks like a copy of the Zoom Stryder.
Similar, but I think that this scooter has more power than the Stryder. Both would make for excellent commuter scooters.
E-twow or U-Scooter claims that Zoom copied their designs.
Stryder is a copy of etwow, not how u said :)) Etwow is a Patentent romanian brand.
Thanks for clearing that up 👍
this scooter is more suitable for children than for adult
Hah, it is on the smaller side, and I also make it look tiny, but it's quite powerful. I think some adults may end up choosing this over a Dualtron Spider for example just because how portable it is. (It's not a crazy racer like a Thunder or Rion though that's for sure)
if you lift the stem all the way it will look bigger, in the video it seemed all the way down
@@AlienRides Only that he portable, there is scooters which one the motor wheel on 1000W and weigh not so much, 31kg. To reception Kugoo M5. If of course you have sells
Just like how an iPhone is suitable for children. :-P Nobody in their right mind would buy this as a child's present. Reliability and range in a compact portable package costs money.
A great review wasted my son Razor 300 bought from Best buy 12 years ago for $300 is better than that trash scooter the Razor still running perfectly SLA batteries and all and it's been living outside in the rain with weeds growing through it and it's been through Los Angeles drive by,s and all totally bullet proof🤣
Hah, awesome to hear that it's still running, that's amazing!
Total garbage not worth$100
😂 You have no idea what you're talking about
