Honestly in the lightweight category what is the trade off?.. on this list The Mosquito was within 1lb of the lightest scooter, it was the fastest scooter, the 3-4 scooters with better range weighed close to 10lbs or more than the Mosquito and all but one of them is only adding 1-2 miles in range, the only place it falls behinid a little compared to SOME of the other models is the ride quality which is mostly because of its solid tires, in this category of lightweight sub 20 mile range scooters, I will gladly sacrfice a little ride quality for never having to worry about a flat tire.
IMO, looking at really lightweight scooters (18kgs max) it is hard to go wrong with the Mosquito / Etwow GTSport (kinda same thing). Preordered the gt sport a while ago, can’t see why I’d take anything else in this weight category: fast, maintenance free, light and easy to fold
@@CodrinVinereanu I totally agree, knowing it has an Etwow pedigree I would purchase one in total confidence without the need of seeing a single review.....In the near future with the battery improvements(power to weight ratios), I would like to see Etwow put out a model with one of the puncture-proof tires currently in the market in a 10" tire. No compromise in reliability and a significant improvment in ride quality.
Is there any trade off in water resistance in the ultra lights like the etwow and mosquito. I know they handle poorly in wet conditions, but do they at least avoid water damage?
Ive owned multiple Uscooters and the GT is great!! cant wait for the newest upgrade coming soon - ive been riding escooters for over 8 years and the main feature that i don't think gets the proper attention is folding handle bars - you don't always need them but when you need to stow the scooter its just crucial - the Vsett 8 and 9 are important midsize commuter viable options to consider as well although they are a bit heavier
I have both and prefer e-twow/Usscooter/fluid over vset 8. There is a big BUT. In wet conditions GT is horrible and VSETT is way better. So my combo is e-twow gt sport from 2023 and now new ninebot G2 with upgraded suspentions for wet conditions and very long rides. Still enjoy e-twow more over ninebot if weather permits it.
I bought the Fluid Mosquito based on your review of its features. I owe you a big thanks. It's an amazing machine. Pros:speed,range,build quality Con: You can't switch speed modes in the fly.
@@MrHappyZorro The settings at default are fine, but the only thing I can't use is the cruise control which you have be able to turn on in the advanced settings. The electric brake setting is ok as is and the speed of the scooter is awesome.
Just pre-ordered the Mosquito yesterday. I got the Kaabo Mantis Pro V2 last week and finally tamed that wild beast only to have it get water damage inside the deck and got to ship it back for repairs. Instead of spending the money on that I bought the Mosquito. Next Thursday is payday, I'll do that. My ultimate goal is to buy like at least 5 scooters to have options/backup for unexpected crap that constantly happens. Can't wait! Impressed with fluidfreeride!
Great overview! It is great to see so many options to cover most use cases. I have had high-powered dual motor scooters but love having the E-Twow GT and now Fluid Mosquito. When I want fun while riding around I always pull out the EUC these days. However, when I want amazing power and portability the GT and Mosquito are perfect. My wife has put nearly 3000 miles on the GT and it is still running perfectly. The GT and Mosquito are easy to deal with on the train or putting into a tall gym locker. We also had the Inokim Light 2 but it was stolen. It was also a great scooter but we had least 4 flats in the few months we had it.
I had a 22-24 kilo scooter but it's broken and away for repairs (for weeks/months now), and therefore have been using my sister's lighter scooter (just less suspension/less comfort). Gotta say, the lighter the scooter, the more I love it for commuting (even tho you lose some in-ride comfort/suspension, you gain comfort in transporting/commuting.
Agree. When i think of electric scooter, I think of light and ultra portable. Once it starts going past 50lbs, it starts kinda defeating the point of a scooter imo and Id rather have an ebike.
Which of these models has "Walk Mode", allowing you to ride walk next to someone walking 4.5km/hour? I'm specifically wondering this about: -uScooters Booster V. -Inokim Light 2. -TurboAnt X7 Pro. P.S. Thanks for the video! I'll end up buying one as a direct result of it.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I don’t think any of those have walk mode, unless TurboAnt has added it recently. I will say that I like the new X7 Max more than the X7 Pro. -Paul
I would take a Hero S9 over all of these models in a heartbeat. It has rock solid build quality, dual suspension, waterproofing (IP rated), split rims for easy tyre changes, 28mph top speed, wide deck, collapsible handle bars, easy to maintain dual drum brakes, spare part availability, 19/20/22kg. 600w (1200 peak). 13ah/16ah/21ah models. Most underrated scooter on the market imho.
@@johnoconnor9854 No, this model doesn't exist in the USA, they do offer some other models here in the US but they all show as sold out and are $400-500 more expensive and nearly double the weight. Going to foreign websites I found dead links, high risks sites my browser blocked, once I found one that was safe and existed the weight for the model he mentions is heavier than anything that ESG provided information on here.
@@EssPhour Yes it is currently not available in the US from their site but not true about other foreign sites. They sell the Hero S9 in the UK and Europe and Asia at many legitimate sites. I bought mine in the UK from BEYOND PEV for £479. It does not weigh more than all these scooters either. I have the 13ah model and it weighs 19kg,
what you call "frustratingly slow" is the legal speed limit for e scooters in the EU 😂😂 and thats exactly how it feels when commuting long distances with e scooters here
Glad to see the TurboAnt X7 Pro made the list. For the price it ain't bad. I have one and agree with your findings. I am a heavier rider and am pleased with ride quality on those 10" pneumatic tires. The range, acceleration, and battery life is highly dependent on rider weight. I found their customer service to be quite good. The X7 Pro is also similar to the "Levy Plus" and more affordable . . .. At the end of the day I'm glad I bought it as my first electric scooter. It does what I need it to.
I own the X7 Pro too and I remember reading somewhere that the Levy battery packs are pretty much identical. The Levy ones use better cells so when my scooter is no longer in warranty and I need another battery, I'll probably get one from Levy.
Plz do a best top line scooters of 2022. I’m looking for one to replace my car and be a back up for my Euc. I’m talking beasts like the wolf king Gt,Blade gt,vsett 11 series…….. kind of escooters
Hey Paul, you're doing an excellent job for ESG now, but sometimes you should think about wearing a Chuck Temple mask so we all can reminisce about the beginning more leaner TH-cam days of our dear ESG founder. Maybe hanging a regal photo of Chuck on the wall at the ESG offices with candles all around it like a shrine to His Excellency would be a nice touch as well.
This is my favorite electric scooter so far! Removable battery really helps as most offices don’t allow upstairs anymore.I will recommend Anyhill UM-2 to my colleagues.
You need a new variable to test for: Lockerable (Fits inside a 12"x12" locker). :) It is my primary concern buying these so keeping an eye on the handles being sub 16" would be very illuminating.
I'm confused why you review the standard Hiboy S2, when the S2 Pro for a little more is much better value, and is still less expensive than every other scooter you review on this video. In most cases it's half the price. Currently on sale for $567 less 10% = $510. Has 500 watt motor, 10 inch solid tires, very durable rear suspension and 11.6 Ah battery.
Any reason why the Ninebot Max or the new NIU KQi2/KQi3 scooters were not included. They beat some of the inclusions in price, weight and definitely in build quality.
Loving these segment comparison info vids. I love riding scooters so much I bought a light weight portable segway F30 to keep at work for lunch time duties in the city, as the wolf warrior x isn't really a fold up and carry about machine. Ended up hating that front wheel drive scooter with a passion, like it seemed to suck the will to live clean out of my soul and pour copious amounts of water on the fire that burns within to ride scoots. Am I the only one who loves riding e scooters, but hates riding front wheel drive?
E-Twow GT which I have does have good build quality, is light and easy to carry. And the top speed is good. But yes, the ride is jittery on bad surfaces and the quote range will not happen if ridden at anything approaching 20 MPH. I'd say the real range is close to 10 miles.
Wonderful review. Why not cover the NIU KQi Air X? You dont consider it in the Top 10? None of the above sell in Europe directly with the manufacturer. Are u guys from US?
0:33 I wouldn't even consider the Air T15 an actual usable adult escooter with the poor range, speed, hill climbing, weight capacity, etc. At best it's just a toy or a non-adult scooter, yet costs far more than any other non-adult scooter. And it wouldn't achieve that weight if it had a bigger battery, bigger motor, bigger wheels, add suspensions, etc. And it's just ironically you keep including scooters that are 38lbs or even 45lbs in this lightweight list. Those are definitely not lightweight at all. 45lbs is very heavy for regular, non-premium/high end scooters. Especially when the other half of the list you have scooters that are less than 30 lbs. So technically the everyone's favorite ninebot max could easily fit in this list at "only" 38lbs (G30LP) to 42lbs (G30). There are many good scooters as well between the 30lbs to 38lbs range that could easily replace those that are over 38lbs.
I needed a commuter scooter, but also wanted the speed and features. I went with the nanrobot lightning-dual motor, solid tires but a little heavy at 65 pounds. The heavier scooters have a better build quality.
Great review with a very helpful focus on weight. One scooter that you might have missed is fluid CityRider 2022, it would be 28lb with 18mph to speed and 15 mile range.
Thanks for the video! I'm moving to an area full of pretty stiff hills and I was wondering which Scooter would be the best: Hill climber + portable + good breaks. Going up the hill is as important as going down safely with good breaks hehe, thank you!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks! After many of your videos, I am between: Emove Touring, Apollo Air 2022, E-TWOW GT SE. I liked the Fluent Horizon but I can't get it in Australia without paying more on shipping that for the scooter itself. The budget is up to $1400 AUD and the 3 mentioned above are around that mark. Is the touring still the best for hill climbing and safe breaking ^^?
The fluid mosquito is the most powerful mini compact e scooter downside only is the braking system no dual disc brake and i dont like the front hub motor i like they put in the rear maybe the nxt upgrade can top speed up to 30 mph
So which one would you recommend if I’d like to use an electric scooter to get around on a big campus? I also would like to hopefully have a smaller-medium sized one that could maybe even fit in my backpack
I love your video / reviews. I wish I was watching them when I bought my first e scooter it hits 20 mph and I can ride it smoothly with effort or slower is smooth it does about 27km but 20 is my record with a bit left over 25% prozip edge scooter good for under $500. Need speed and pneumatic tires next!
We include that in our newer “Best of” videos, and in each of our reviews. Or you can use our search tool to search by IP-rating and weight at the same time at the electricscooterguide website. -Paul
There's a wide range of quality and price out there. I have to completely disagree with the ratings for the $700-$800 range. Personally I have a Segway/Ninebot ES4 that I recommend overall, and would go with the Max for more distance if weight doesn't matter. Good luck everyone, and choose wisely.
This is a great list of scooters for a wide variety of utility. Thank you as always for your comprehensive reviews! I currently own the Turboant X7 Pro and I agree with ESG that it's a good beginner scooter, although the regen braking takes some getting used to if this is your first scooter. One more caveat is, like ESG said in the video, it's front heavy. I tried to pop up the front wheel to hop onto the sidewalk from the road and flipped over the front, ending up with a concussion and some badass scars lol. It's still a great beginner scooter, just don't be stupid like me and always wear a helmet.
I just pre ordered the upgraded fluid freeride cityrider. Huge discount for pre order. The older cityrider seemed to have many positive reviews so I'm hoping the newer model will be better. I think the value at the discounted pre order price is what finalized my choice. I hope you get to review the 2022 cityrider as I would be interested on your views of it. Thank you for this great top 10 list.
i dont know why its not in this list but i've had a xiaomi m365 for a year and on the internet it says 13.7 kg (30 lb). its for me the best. cost me 160 on a good secondhand deal max speed is 15 mph which is the max legal speed for scooters in Spain
Great options! Uscooters are surprisingly good, I would love to see you review the Speedway Leger Pro and include it in your groupings since it seems to have been overlooked and it's a pretty impressive all around excellent commuter escooter
Still waiting for my ideal scooter. But still doesn't exist yet 😅😂 *Lightweight*, self healing tires, front and rear suspension, can be used in rain, or after raining conditions. Good climbing hills. Ajustable height bar. Light turn signal could be a great bonus, but not necessarily.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you for the reply. I have a question….. I have 3 electric⚡️ bikes🚲 and 2 push scooters. I am looking at electric scooters🛴 but I’m not versed on them like I am on the electric⚡️ bikes🚲 My push scooters🛴 have decks that are kinda similar in size to a freestyle skateboard and I can put both my feet👣 together side by side on it facing forward. It’s so much easier to ride 2 and even 3 people when the deck is wider. Do you know of any electric⚡️ scooters like that ? Speed and range isn’t super important this is mostly just for around the beach and strand and walk streets so no need for hypersonic speed. Any ideas you can provide me is much appreciated.
Thanks for your review. I am interested in the fluid Mosquito, but your coupon code no longer works and the price is now $999 instead of $899 in the video. Do you have a valid coupon code that I can use for purchase?
We haven’t tested the Vsett 8 yet. Working on getting our hands on one. We tested the Splach Turbo a long while ago, which is very similar and we liked it. -Paul
Lightweights, yes. But they’re really beginner scooters or pocket scooters. None would be of interest to someone looking for their next scooter after having learned already.
Hi Electric Scooter Guide! Which scooter would you recommend if the only thing that matters to me is light weight (13-19kg) and comfortable/safe driving (good suspension/rubber tires). Price, speed, range doesnt matter, except it shouldnt be less than 20mph
Wondering if you have thoughts on the Blizwheel start up on Indiegogo. It has some eye-catching features, of which is the backpack size and weight, motors and crazy good water resistance. I'm thinking of being a first adopter, as they are in final production phase. Yes, 4" solid wheels are going to be a pretty crappy ride, but their suspension innovation makes me say, well, ok, for the mile I need it for, it will be ok. They even have a version you can carry on a plane. As a full time traveler, this might be a godsend. Check it out.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide i dont think there any better the this. With ability to jump on the ramps, etc. i have replace my breaks and now it is really powerful and easy to use scooter.
I still searching any better then this one… with just better quality. Even if it will cost 2k$ i just need fast and lightweight scooter. Do you know any who can ride 50-60 km/h with less then 20 or even 15 kg weight?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I suspect we are both right. This is on the 'About" section from E-TWOW's international website. "The E-TWOW - Electric Two Wheels (pronounced E 2 W) brand is part of a large international concept, with headquarters in China. As electric scooter manufacturers, we wanted to bring forth a new era in urban mobility, through our ingenious electric vehicles."

Please remove "lightweight" from the title. Any scooter that is lightweight should be 30 lbs or less. Better title would have been Top 10 electric scooters of 2022.

Those are definitely not lightweight at all. 45lbs is very heavy for regular, non-premium/high end scooters. Especially when the other half of the list you have scooters that are less than 30 lbs. So technically the everyone's favorite ninebot max could easily fit in this list at "only" 38lbs (G30LP) to 42lbs (G30). There are many good scooters as well between the 30lbs to 38lbs range that could easily replace those that are over 38lbs.
Very true! Thanks for sharing.
I needed a commuter scooter, but also wanted the speed and features. I went with the nanrobot lightning-dual motor, solid tires but a little heavy at 65 pounds. The heavier scooters have a better build quality.
Great review with a very helpful focus on weight. One scooter that you might have missed is fluid CityRider 2022, it would be 28lb with 18mph to speed and 15 mile range.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
I'm surprised that you did not include the Segway Ninebot F series. The F40 is under 35 lbs, and is comparable with the MAX, but lower range.
We have not tested that one yet!
Thanks for the video! I'm moving to an area full of pretty stiff hills and I was wondering which Scooter would be the best: Hill climber + portable + good breaks. Going up the hill is as important as going down safely with good breaks hehe, thank you!
If it’s not too steep we love the Emove touring if you are on a budget! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks! After many of your videos, I am between: Emove Touring, Apollo Air 2022, E-TWOW GT SE. I liked the Fluent Horizon but I can't get it in Australia without paying more on shipping that for the scooter itself. The budget is up to $1400 AUD and the 3 mentioned above are around that mark. Is the touring still the best for hill climbing and safe breaking ^^?
The fluid mosquito is the most powerful mini compact e scooter downside only is the braking system no dual disc brake and i dont like the front hub motor i like they put in the rear maybe the nxt upgrade can top speed up to 30 mph
hi Paul, love your video. you did really great job！swappable battery scooter Anyhill UM2 impressed me.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.
-Paul
Great guide thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Which of these has solid tires? Am aware the last one has rear solid and front air, but prefer solid to avoid flats. Thanks. Great video.
Fluid Mosquito is solid tires! You can use code RIDERGUIDE50 for $50 off
So which one would you recommend if I’d like to use an electric scooter to get around on a big campus? I also would like to hopefully have a smaller-medium sized one that could maybe even fit in my backpack
The fluid mosquito would be a excellent overall choice! Stay safe. -Vosk
Congratz !! on the 50k subs :D
Thanks so much! We are thrilled.
Nice list of scooters and a good narrative of what to expect from each one.
As to which one you missed, that would be the Vesett 8.
We have not tested that one yet! The list comprises of scooters we actually fully tested and have data on. -Vosk
Inokim is my favourite... owning the Light2 and the OX...💙👊😎
That’s awesome! Enjoy your ride. -Vosk
avoid the rain
I love your video / reviews. I wish I was watching them when I bought my first e scooter it hits 20 mph and I can ride it smoothly with effort or slower is smooth it does about 27km but 20 is my record with a bit left over 25% prozip edge scooter good for under $500. Need speed and pneumatic tires next!
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.
Fight of lightweights
I have the Unagi scooter and I love it it sturdy fast attention grabber I will refer my friends and family.
Good choice!
I own the GT SE. I’ve never heard of the “Fluid Mosquito”. What is the difference between the GT SE v. Fluid Mosquito? Looks exactly the same…
Yes it’s very similar! Thanks -Vosk
Any plans to review Segway or the Levy electric scooter? from what I can see they are the 2 of the more popular light electric scooters here in the US
We should be reviewing few Segway models this year. -Vosk
Waterproofiness?
We include that in our newer “Best of” videos, and in each of our reviews. Or you can use our search tool to search by IP-rating and weight at the same time at the electricscooterguide website. -Paul
A small point, could you guys use Kg alongside ib for your non US customers 😊
Yes we can! Noted. -Vosk
I got the mosquito and its so fun. Its so fast that its kind of scary I thought I was gonna pop a wheelie haha.
Great scooter
You can give me a super fast heavy scooter and I will never use it, but a lightweight and portable scooter and I will use it everywhere.
Good choice!
I love this product
Thanks so much for the kind words!
-Vosk
I’m a firm believer that the primary brake should be in the rear and not the front.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
There's a wide range of quality and price out there. I have to completely disagree with the ratings for the $700-$800 range. Personally I have a Segway/Ninebot ES4 that I recommend overall, and would go with the Max for more distance if weight doesn't matter. Good luck everyone, and choose wisely.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great list of scooters for a wide variety of utility. Thank you as always for your comprehensive reviews!
I currently own the Turboant X7 Pro and I agree with ESG that it's a good beginner scooter, although the regen braking takes some getting used to if this is your first scooter. One more caveat is, like ESG said in the video, it's front heavy. I tried to pop up the front wheel to hop onto the sidewalk from the road and flipped over the front, ending up with a concussion and some badass scars lol. It's still a great beginner scooter, just don't be stupid like me and always wear a helmet.
Awesome! Enjoy your scooter
When do we will have a light 4x4 small skateboard with big wheels, a handlebar etc for snow, mud and rain drives ?
That would be awesome! -Vosk
I just pre ordered the upgraded fluid freeride cityrider. Huge discount for pre order. The older cityrider seemed to have many positive reviews so I'm hoping the newer model will be better. I think the value at the discounted pre order price is what finalized my choice. I hope you get to review the 2022 cityrider as I would be interested on your views of it. Thank you for this great top 10 list.
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter.
Hi guys. What would you recommend to me between the e move touring or the the uscooter booster v or the gtsport?
Touring all the way!
i dont know why its not in this list but i've had a xiaomi m365 for a year and on the internet it says 13.7 kg (30 lb). its for me the best. cost me 160 on a good secondhand deal
max speed is 15 mph which is the max legal speed for scooters in Spain
It’s a much older scooter & has not been stocked in the US for quite a while! -Vosk
Yes, I absolutely needed this one!!
What's the best one to easily purchase in Continental Europe?
Depends on where you live and what local dealer is around you! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Auch ok. 😅 Do you have any experience with local dealers in France, Belgium, Netherlands?
Great options! Uscooters are surprisingly good, I would love to see you review the Speedway Leger Pro and include it in your groupings since it seems to have been overlooked and it's a pretty impressive all around excellent commuter escooter
Definitely a solid ride! Thanks for sharing
@1:38 Lol, 18.8 mph is like 30 kmh not 20kmh
Typo! Thank you
Please could you test the bronco 11 xtreme👌🏽
We will do our best! Seems awesome.
What about the Dualtron mini?
No plans on that one!
do you have any insights on that one or any of the updated recently of the Dualtron family?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
Still waiting for my ideal scooter. But still doesn't exist yet 😅😂
*Lightweight*, self healing tires, front and rear suspension, can be used in rain, or after raining conditions. Good climbing hills. Ajustable height bar. Light turn signal could be a great bonus, but not necessarily.
Hopefully soon! -Vosk
What model is that in the tile photo on the right ?
Emove Touring!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you for the reply.
I have a question…..
I have 3 electric⚡️ bikes🚲 and 2 push scooters. I am looking at electric scooters🛴 but I’m not versed on them like I am on the electric⚡️ bikes🚲
My push scooters🛴 have decks that are kinda similar in size to a freestyle skateboard and I can put both my feet👣 together side by side on it facing forward. It’s so much easier to ride 2 and even 3 people when the deck is wider.
Do you know of any electric⚡️ scooters like that ?
Speed and range isn’t super important this is mostly just for around the beach and strand and walk streets so no need for hypersonic speed.
Any ideas you can provide me is much appreciated.
Thanks for your review. I am interested in the fluid Mosquito, but your coupon code no longer works and the price is now $999 instead of $899 in the video. Do you have a valid coupon code that I can use for purchase?
That code was only available when the scooter launched!
I need electric scotter is not heavy cause i live on 3rd flord aparment and is very fast to go to work please you guys know
Try this scooter! geni.us/GTSport
what's the longest range for weight?
Lightweight scooters typically don’t give you long range , under 20 miles
You should really try the ANYHILL UM-2. I owned one for about 2 month, everything is good.
We have tested it! Solid scooter.
thanks
You're welcome!
I need a lightweight scooter I can carry up to my third storey walk up apartment. Under 30 pounds would be good as I have back problems.
The Fluid Mosquito would be a good choice to be honest! -Vosk
Travel Nurse. Heavy. I need to deal with wgt, weather, portability..HELP!!!
The Fluid Mosquito is under 30lbs and has a decent battery! -Vosk
you should cover electric scooters under 30 pounds, closer to 20lbs. now that is considered lightweight.
what about the vsett 8
We haven’t tested the Vsett 8 yet. Working on getting our hands on one. We tested the Splach Turbo a long while ago, which is very similar and we liked it. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide isn't the splach turbo just a remodeled vsett 8r?
yeah the mosquito is not 999 ... was waiting till this friday to place an order at the 899 tag ..not paying 1k
With code MOSQUITOINJULY should be $899 in the cart! Thanks for watching.
Oh wow $100
You wouldn’t have bought it at 899 if you wouldn’t pay 999
Heard bad things about the Apollo tires going flat easily
mostly all tubes are very similar from the factory! -Vosk
the air t15 is an airport scuter and was not a ride any where nor everywhere scewter
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
Lightweights, yes. But they’re really beginner scooters or pocket scooters. None would be of interest to someone looking for their next scooter after having learned already.
We agree! Many of these are beginner/mid range scooters! Thanks for watching.
I was really excited by this video. Went to buy a Turboant X7... only to realise electric scooters are illegal in the UK WHY GOD.
Hopefully that can change in the future!
Hi Electric Scooter Guide!
Which scooter would you recommend if the only thing that matters to me is light weight (13-19kg) and comfortable/safe driving (good suspension/rubber tires). Price, speed, range doesnt matter, except it shouldnt be less than 20mph
geni.us/ApolloGo , zippy , good suspension , not heavy , good range. Use code RIDERGUIDE for max discount
Wondering if you have thoughts on the Blizwheel start up on Indiegogo. It has some eye-catching features, of which is the backpack size and weight, motors and crazy good water resistance. I'm thinking of being a first adopter, as they are in final production phase. Yes, 4" solid wheels are going to be a pretty crappy ride, but their suspension innovation makes me say, well, ok, for the mile I need it for, it will be ok. They even have a version you can carry on a plane. As a full time traveler, this might be a godsend. Check it out.
We have not reviewed that scooter!
-Vosk
You miss the Max. That scooter beat pretty much all of them.
The lack of suspension and low end top speed is a issue to some riders!
42 pounds!
Which max are you talking about?
@@johnoconnor9854 probably ninebot
Too many options I just want the best balance between portable, comfort and range.
Many options for sure! -Vosk
⚡⚡⚡
Apollo Air Pro = 18,8 mph is 30,2 kph not 20,2 kph
Thanks for pointing it out. That was a typo. We are fixing it.
Where is my own 16kg 40 km/h with 35km capacity? King Song n 10
We have not tested that one yet!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide i dont think there any better the this. With ability to jump on the ramps, etc. i have replace my breaks and now it is really powerful and easy to use scooter.
I still searching any better then this one… with just better quality. Even if it will cost 2k$ i just need fast and lightweight scooter. Do you know any who can ride 50-60 km/h with less then 20 or even 15 kg weight?
okai es 20
Thanks! We will take a look.
It's not pronounced "E 2 Wow". "E-TWOW" stands for "Electric-two-wheel".
In fact, recently I’ve heard it pronounced like “E 2” -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I suspect we are both right. This is on the 'About" section from E-TWOW's international website.
"The E-TWOW - Electric Two Wheels (pronounced E 2 W) brand is part of a large international concept, with headquarters in China. As electric scooter manufacturers, we wanted to bring forth a new era in urban mobility, through our ingenious electric vehicles."
I want the mosquito but I'm afraid I'll eat shit on a pothole
Good scooter but you have to be careful with all scooters. Stay Safe. -Vosk
Ergonomic for carrying*
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
No Dualtron? Really??
We are doing only lightweight scooters on this one! Thanks for watching.
-Vosk
So much information missing
So much repeticion
This video will be updated in the near future! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk

Awesome! Thanks for watching.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide yea only trouble is im not sure that with such technicalmspecification as i subscribe is posiible to go under 20 kg 😁 anyways when you say lightweight how much egzacly weight you mean ?
Please remove "lightweight" from the title. Any scooter that is lightweight should be 30 lbs or less. Better title would have been Top 10 electric scooters of 2022.
Compared to the rest of the pack these scooters are as lightweight as we can get! Thanks for watching.
How about a review of scooters with a seat? 🛴
Great idea! Thanks for the great idea. -Vosk
