Although the Swift has been discontinued - check out the closest comparable scooter: geni.us/agOo
@Lawson Lukas bruh yall are the same person, those accounts are both made on 6 march
Seeing your older content vs the newer reviews.. Your quality has jumped EXTREMELY high. Thanks for the great content.. Shout out to Big Dog
I said the same thing in another video lol check out the fluid freeride horizon review. This review makes that one look really really old
OMG I’m very impressed and and well informed on this entry level scooter!. Thank you so much for posting this video!!!!!
I'm close to getting my first 100 miles and definetly agree with your review Chuck!
I am glad that based on your experience you rate it as the "Civic" of escooters. This is my main commuter so reliability with good performance were my main concerns.
Coming from a Go Trax that served as my entry level scooter, the Swift and Jason's costumer service has been what I was looking for and even more.
Thanks Mr Carrington! We are running out of car names, but this one certainly fits the Civic in many ways.
What do you guys think about the gotrax g4?
Ok. I really do appreciate you. Your review was the reason for me to decide to go with this amazing scooter. After a research for 2 weeks. As you advised, I got my helmet before the scooter. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the detailed review. I always look forward to them. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Herk! What scooter do you have?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I don't have one yet. I have been watching your vidoes to help me decide.
This was an Awesome review! Thanks a lot for your hard work.
Thanks so much! -Paul
Great break down on the Turbo Swift, I like the way it folds up and doesn't weigh too much.
Thanks Dylan - I agree, very well balanced feature-set all around on this scooter.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thumbs up for break, suspension, wheels, seems a very good choice for who live near the office, but not for who need public transport 1) folded is way too low for to be used like a trolley (if you are not Igor of F.J.) and it's too heavy if you have to do many stairs like in underground. 2) charge position... broken cable it's here
i crashed a lot with my maiden voyage, aim for picket fences after 2 days im totally used to it, this model is nice, don't get a nutty one if you're a first timer, 22-27 is faster than a bike and not too intense.
Very nice review, thanks!
I just bought this scooter first time owning one and I love the honda civic comment. Great video!!
I just order minds June 29th to be expected arrival
I added a similar carry handle for my Zero 8, and they don't really block the unfolding mechanism. Probably you can lower the angle of the handle? also, i've so far managed to push my z8 5KM over the rated 35km range in one of my ride (thanks to KERS),.
Do you know if the brake can be retrofitted to a zero8? the rear brakes on z8 paired with the slick rear hard tires is dangerously slippery (or fun, you pick your poison)
Great review!! Thanks!!
Okay, I watched many of your great videos, (and loved the content). And now I decided to subscribe.
I agree with one of your best choices of scoots : Of course, I'm referring to the E Move Cruiser. I have a Dualtron Mini myself, which is a fine scooter. Will you be having a video on one anytime soon ?
Thanks man 👍🏼
Ive been watching all of your videos the past few weeks i have been walking about 5 miles one way to work for about a year because someone stole my long board . i think im sold on buying this one for sure . next paycheck or two ill own this or may go with my 2nd choice the Xiaomi 365.
Very good review. Thank you. How well does this scooter handle hills?
I see you are also in Berkeley! Thought I recognized a lot of these places/streets.
The video editor set the background music a little too loud. But very informative chuck. As usual 👍🏻
Hi! Great videos. I’ve learned a lot. I’m looking into buying my first scooter. Most entry level scooters have 200-220 lb weight limits. I’m 210-220. So I’m right at the limit, but would like something with extra power. I’d like something to use on my 5 mile commute with a backpack. I’m currently looking at the uscooter sport. It’s a little more than I wanted to spend, but it seems to check the boxes. I’m a little worried about the braking though. Thoughts? Opinions on an alternative considering my weight?
On the subject of eWheels, are you planning to review the E-TWOW GT anytime soon. Since it's so portable and fast, I'd love to see that one reviewed.
Also on the subject of eWheels, I've bought several EUC's from them and the experience has always been good.
Yes, we plan to make a review of the GT. We have the older Uscooter Booster V to get through first (we promised).
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Yay. I know Alien Rides has done several, but it would be good to see another perspective.
Great review, what's with the trolley wheels and how do they work?
every time I watch ESG videos, Chuck always reminds me of Neal McDonough! LOL! which by the way is a compliment because I love Neal, great actor in my opinion.
Hello, first time viewer. I really liked your review on the scooter. One question, does it have any sort of an alarm or tamper-resistant feature? Thank you
No it doesn't.
does this version get the same 26+ range like the ffr horizon? going in gear 3
Hey Chuck i got one i only got 6 miles on it at 180 lbs was only able to get to 20 ,21 for a second holding steady 19-20. I got my wife to try it at 125lb it did same for her 20-21 it feels like it can go faster as if it restricted is locked ? Thank you
This looks like a budget Zero 8. Certain parts on these scooters look like they are shared among manufacturers. Chuck, why would a drum brake be maintenance free? It has brake “Shoes”/Pads that wear out and need to be replaced like a disc brake setup would....No?? Also for $800.00 don’t you think it’s a better idea to go with a Zero 8 or better yet, just stretch the budget $200 bucks and put yourself into a Real Machine: The ZERO 9 !!! Now that’s a bang for the buck scooter that can’t be beat for $1K dollars American. Hey, is the industry having supply chain issues due to COVID 9?? Thx for the great review., You are the class act of the industry!
"this is how all my sweaters get messed up" - real talk
Love your stuff but as I indicated shopping for a scooter is Ike the wild west. Rules and Law are all over the place and then there's the unknown. My town and neighboring towns I'd like try to visit have hills. and while sights like yours and to a degree manufactures give some guidance it's still rather vague like the degree a hill is. Never seen a hill marked with a degree sign. Also do the degree limitations just mean the climb would be slow or not at all? When I watch sights like yours I'm finding there's a range of opinions expressed when it comes to a recommended motors power and its ability to climb hills. To be clear my goal isn't to race up any given hill but just to be able to climb it.
Chuck, Is this available in the UK?
Hi there my question is, i have a ninebot max and i want to buy a Battery from Segway , and those guys said don't sale the battery, means after the battery is out, i have to put in the recycle bin ?
This is a FluidFreeRide Horizon clone with a welcome front brake! The handle is cool but prevents an emergency standing on the rear fender emergency brake. I think there is a P-setting for the default mode on power up as mine always starts in 3rd and I have to put it back into 2nd to allow my boys Razor E350 to keep up with me. I enjoy riding mine but the rear suspension is not that functional under my 180 weight as I'm close to bottomed out and any little bump will send a shockwave up my spine. The rear plastic fender also makes a loud clap when hitting bumps, would have liked it to be more solid to match the rest of the tight build of this chassis.
Really older video to be honest! Thanks for watching & stay safe. -Vosk
I want to buy bell on my turbowheel. Or should i go back to ewheels to buy accessories?
I just got this delivered last week. It doesn't seem that commuter friendly in the subway/metro/BART. It doesn't stand up straight and the handlebars have to be used as a carry handle when folded up. This doesn't work well when navigating crowds like the Glion, but the Glion sucks for ride quality. Not sure if I should get the Glion instead for mass transit.
Would be nice to see a scooter handle people like me that is a bodybuilder who weighs 260lbs. The Hover-1 Pioneer handles 260+lbs but only goes around 14 mph. Of course at the affordable pricing, as not all people are tiny or skinny.
Hi Jay - make sure to check out the comparison chart where you can sort and filter based on rider weight. electric-scooter.guide/comparisons/compare-electric-scooters/
Ninebot Max and this scooter are about the same price. Which one is a better option for someone about 200 lbs?
i want to purchase this one today is there any discount sale ? thanks
Does the handle enable you drag it around like a wheely suitcase ie. with the wheel on the other end rolling on the floor ?
it has 2 trolley wheels on the bottom so yes
Good review but you could lose the background music while you're talking.
Yup, will do next time.
No don’t just drop it lower
Electric Scooter Guide just needs to be lower not off. Great video
Kugoo G-Booster Electric Scooter
Keep the music, but just lower the volume!
I like that small wheel that converts this into a dolly/trolly. Any recommendation for alternative??
Hey can someone tell me where can I purchase the turbo Swift scooter.
Hi Chuck. I wish you could test these scooters with a 300lb rider. Yes it is way over the weight limit but I would love to see how these perform with a heavy rider. Does it over heat. What range do you get. Does it break under that load.
Such a great idea. We have a team member that is about 230 lbs -- this is probably the best we can do. Don't want to have another scooter accident.
How does the tw swift hold up in rain? Are the sensitive internal components protected?
There is no official IP rating for the Swift. I would say an unofficial IPX4 would be okay. I did a lot of filming in the rain or on wet streets and had zero issues.
Can you do a review of the HIBOY MAX scooter?
we need data for the apollo pro. im obsessed with finding out how it compares to others and if it is a true improvement to the famous 10x
You have a rider in a backpack and I am wondering what fullface helmet and model is he wearing...
Do you concidering by any chance of reviewing speedway minimotors 4 Pro?
How can I order in Europe..?
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Is there any other electric scooter that you recommend that has a dolly?
Can you get these in the uk? If so how much
I’m wondering: this or the Horizon? I’m just playing around cruising. Not thinking about commuting or anything. I’m a big guy. 6’2, 240 ish
You need to find a more powerful scooter (or lose weight). This has 220 lbs weight limit. Although, I took mine out for a ride with my 4th grader and two of us were ~ 260 lbs combined and it worked like a charm. I don't know how it would do long term if you are consistently over recommended weight limit.
It's be nice if there were clip holes for shoulder slings
Yes!
Would you recommend the turbowheel swift or the horizon?? Want to buy today!
Horizon with the same battery size is the same price as Swift and Swift comes with extra brake and better suspension. Swift over Horizon is my vote.
can you compare emove touring and turbo swift ?
Chuck, you look like you were listening to plenty of snake jazz over the holiday. :D
What is snake jazz?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what is snake jazz chuck? Its snake jazz for humans that dont like human jazz .. jesus h
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide google is probably a good time to search your existential life right now regarding snake jazz....
How does that back handle attach to the scooter? Looks like a single bolt. Might not be the best place to lock up your scooter in that case.
Actually the rear handle seems to be secure and not easy to remove. There are a couple pics here that show a bit more detail. electric-scooter.guide/reviews/turbowheel-swift-review/
TW Swift seems to be a lot more fun than the Ninebot Max...I’m looking forward to Chuck’s premier video for the Swift...January 2 @9am
Thanks Sidewinder!
Needs to have more load capacity like the horizon
Should I buy this I’ve been saving up and I’m 12
(...) This scooter looks like a very solid choice!
Thanks, link is fixed. I appreciate the feedback.
Can you do a review of a joyor f7 please
Turbowheel swift...good scooter but no bluetooth connectivity and no cruise control and the brake set up looks complicated to dismantle should you need to repair..i use the same handle bar grips on my M365 though. After 3 years of constant use my battery was losing performance on my M365...the new one arrived 8 days later... a tip for electric scooter riders...the best wrap i find for bunching cables together is kinesiology tape..it offers good protection and flexibility and looks as good as the tape on the Turbowheel Swift.
The background music doesn’t really belong in this video. I don’t usually care about the background music just tone it down a bit. Still love your videos. ✊
Where can i order this?im here in UAE.anyone knows?
Reminds me of the Kugoo M4Pro. A lot of similarities in the main build.
This scooter has been discontinued!
How can i buy a charger mine is broke
How well does it take hills
You didn't mention the Trolley Wheels and looks like you removed them at some point....were they problematic?
We will update our written review with an updated dolly wheel setup. electric-scooter.guide/reviews/turbowheel-swift-review/
The purchase link isn't working
Great detailed view but the music is too distracting and unnecessary. Otherwise great review
Really want this in UK without paying stupid price for Custom fee.
Looking at both the TurboWheel Swift and the FF Horizon. They look like clones except for the brakes and weight limit. How is FF able to claim a 264lb vs 220lb weight limit on the same platform?
This scooter is 5 kgs heavier than the Uscooter GT while remaining slower and delivering less range. What's more, the GT is only a couple hundred bucks more despite decimating the Turbowheel Swift on every measurable specification. Even the regenerative braking on the GT is several times more effective!
While it's better than the Xiaomi and the Ninebot range, I'd pick the UScooter every single time.
Even without shipping costs and tax, it costs $850 USD and I'm surprised you call it an "entry-level scooter."
It is $800 after the code: 25OFF (also free shipping). Entry-level in this context was more about the low maintenance aspect (solid rear tire, dual enclosed drum brakes) while being a bit more powerful and faster than your standard issue M365. Many first time buyers are looking at scooters under $1000 now rather than the $400 mark.
I'm currently looking for an entry scooter. Willing to spend up to $1000. $850 isn't that unreasonable.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I've already owned the Zero 8 for 8.5 months now. What I'm saying is that if you're calling these scooters as "entry-level", what are Xiaomi M365, Fluidfreeride CityRider and GoTrax GXL's called then?
@@aragorn318 Good point. To me, the entry-level is anything up to $1000 - but maybe that is lazy haha.
@@aragorn318 Bargain bin scooters?
I just recently got this but and it rides well but i feel like the Range is too limited. It loses battery pretty quickly and i feel like returning it for a refund
KingLouiSupremeV what range are you getting?
Remove the handle tail if you wanna get rid of the "lock in problem" xd
Can it go up hills?
What’s the actual range?
The problem with all of these Zero 8 clones is the solid back tire. Surprised you were riding it on that wet street. I used to be a big fan of solid tires until I crashed on a wet street.
Otherwise, if a person isn't ever going to ride on wet streets or is very careful, it's a nice scooter. The Horizon gets better mileage though (minus the better brakes and handle).
Nice review!
I agree, I almost never fold my scooter anymore. That handle is a good idea.
P.S.
I agree with the comment about the music. Jeez, choose something different next time. TH-cam has an entire public domain library of far less annoying tunes. Haha. Don't mean to be a complainer.
I have the Zero 8 and put over 500 miles on it and no probs at all in the wet. The rear tire traction is perfect. The thing I don't like is that the front pneumatic tire and the rear solid tire are different sizes and shapes, so steering is not perfect and precise.
Thanks for the feedback Joey. For sure you can slip easier with a solid tire than pneumatic. When riding on wet surfaces I take corners much slower - and doing this I had no problem riding in the very wet conditions (as seen in the video). If this scooter had dual solid tires (as my original etwow scooter did) I am even more careful on turns and stopping. We'll work on better music for the next video (hopefully next Tuesday - WideWheel Pro).
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Unbelievably, I have more than 500 miles put on my Zero 8 and my tires and traction still are grippy, even in wet. I'm going to see if I can go 2000 miles without changing the original set. Is this crazy and dangerous thinking? lol
My Zero9 caught a flat in the rear so I went solid all the way around , ruined the ride but here in San Francisco anything and everything is on the floor
@@guillermopacheco5005 Oh, it sounds like you overpaid for the Zero 9 then. You really just needed the Zero 8 in the first place
What do any of you commenters think? I really need feedback, I'm torn between the turbo swift pro and the fluid horizon!?!?
I want one :) but I am in Melbourne Australia
Did you ask if they ship internationally?
Electric Scooter Guide ohh yes please Sir and any store in Victoria Australia to. Cheers
Should I get this or the ninbot max?
This. Faster and better. Bigger LG battery, dual brakes, suspension, etc... I returned my Ninebot Max to get this one and couldn't be happier. Ninebot is also an excellent scooter and can be had for about $100 cheaper than this, when on sale.
Love the channel but the background music is too loud and distracting. In my opinion.
How would you rate this now?¿
Good video, but the music got in the way of hearing you sometimes.
Great review but please ditch the ennoying backroud music!!
Why is it 90% of flats are on the back? I've never (yet) owned a scooter. "Logic" to me would suggest the front tire rolls over road debris before the rear.
Thought I read somewhere that it is actually the torque that the motor puts on the wheel and inner tube that causes more flats than running over something. Most motors are in the back thus more flats there.
My experience has been 100% flats on rear. What we hear is that since most of the riding weight is on the rear wheel, that is where flats happen the most.
thats where all the weight is, look at the emove cruiser too, use mode 1 until youre comfortable, its rain resistant, but cover the throttle with some sandwich bags if its raining
Too bad the Swift didn't seem to be available very long, just a few short months. Ewheels doesn't even list it on their site anymore.
Can't actually hear you over the music. Can you put another version up sans music?
We are on to the next video (WideWheel Pro) and will absolutely make the music less loud.
i live in Vancouver Canada
Where can I find new replaceable front wheel with brakes?
Where did you buy the scooter?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I simply just interested in the whole kit, wheel with drum brake and all the wires to mod it on Z8.
Horizon or Turbowheel Swift??? I cannot find a perfect answer!!
Horizon only has one brake in the rear. Turbo has two brakes
For me the answer is obvious. Same price scooters but one has two brakes
Price, price, price???
God I hate this type of music. Great review.
The background music is way to loud is distracting
Can you consider changing the background music/sound? 🤭
or turning it down/off
Wow, lots of comments about the background music. We'll change it for the next one (WideWheel Pro).
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
Great review
The music was ok to me, your girlish voice cut right thought it. lol, just kidding buddy - it didn't cut through it 😁😁
Cheers
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I don't mind it on the B roll, but when your talking and giving out specs or showing off features of the scoot, was a little distracting. At least at the those levels.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide it's just the volume!! Too high
Dude, the musics gotta go or lower it in your next video please
39 lbs is heavy for me to lift. :(
Can't really make up my mind between swift and horizon 🤔
Same here Mishel i like the swift better but the milage on the horizon i wish the swift had a bigger battery. Did you buy one yet? Thanks
@@nemanjakucuk4677 weird cause when i bought my swift a few days ago Jason said it is running the same 13ah battery as the horizon but albeit a LG one
the calculations equaled to 614wh but idk the horizon said its 624 so who knows????? either way the speed and range are def and with the upgrades for the swift are pretty worth it imo
If I bought a scooter, how do I transport it on a airplane? Is there a special container or bag or something?
The only scooter you can take on an airplane is the Levy or variant by removing the battery and putting in your carry-on. checkout.levyelectric.com/?aff=esg
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide The Turboant X7 also has a removable battery and has a nice top speed of 20mph for under $500
