I bought this scooter. I like the compact size and power. The power should be more linear imo. I don’t like the surge of power that only happens when the battery is near full charge. The app is very limited for the extra cost of Bluetooth functionality. I would have expected more general information regarding voltage, temperature etc. Voltage only appears on the display for a few seconds when first powered on. The speedometer is off by 5-6 mph, the most I’ve ever encountered. Usually i see only a discrepancy of at most 2 mph. The headlight is a “to be seen” type light, not a “so I can see” light. It barely projects any usable light to the ground. I also think they should have kept the cruise control. The thumb throttle isn’t very stable when a person wants to ride side by side with somebody. This can cause thumb fatigue, which can begin to limit how long the rider actually wants to continue on. I find myself walking the scooter at different intervals, just to relax the unwarranted fatigue. Other than those issues, I’d still purchase again because I think it’s well made and very practical. It looks better than the Segway-Ninebot ES4 that it replaced.
@@c4CHIN in USA “uscooters” has best price with premium battery. “Fluid freeride” has best price with Chinese battery. Fluid calls it: “mosquito”. Made in China like most everything else, but owned and designed by a Romanian guy. I’ve had it since February 2022. Probably one of my favorite scooters. I own five in total. The new GT Sport has cruise control and a higher top speed !
That shot when your going down the road and you have a drone or a pigeon or something just following you as you ride. That is some top level TH-cam camera work. It looked awesome.
I bought one this morning. I will get it in 4 days. I have a Segway Max G30, but it's too big to get it on the bus. I think this one will be perfect. Thanks a lot for your vid.
Power to weight ratio and range to weight ratio along with it being ultra portable and easy to store are the main reason I ordered the e-twow gt se, still waiting for it to arrive, but can't wait to give it a try. I wish it had better water resistance, but I can add silicone.
That sounds awesome! While it certainly isn't lacking in power in the first place, I can only imagine it'll be even zippier off the line with 2WD. Would love to hear how you did it - didn't even realize there was an upgrade kit like this.
Hahaha, what a teaser. I think he got the upgrades from a shop in Spain that does the dual motor upgrade for these types of scooters. I might get this GT-SE for work.
@@eRideHero I like the “in depth” content. It’s very frustrating wasting time watching videos that only “gloss over” basic specifications, but don’t actually tell how those specifications are applicable to real world riding.
@@raylivengood8040 I appreciate that, Ray - and that's exactly what I'm going for. I try to be as data-driven in my review process as possible to provide extra value other than just an opinion by using racing-grade data logging gear for my performance tests. The real-world performance pretty much always differs greatly from what the manufacturers/distributors advertise. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. More to come real soon.
Great video. Is this the best scooter at this weight out there? I need a scooter that I can bring on a train every day and at times I will need to carry for 10-15 minutes at a time. I also need good suspension done NYC roads can be unpredictable with bumps, rocks and pot holes. Thanks!
Same here with every point you mentioned! Traveling over the Queensborough Bridge and down into Chinatown. Need to get onto subways at times, climb stairs, etc.
I use this scooter everyday over the Qnsborough Bridge into Lower Manhattan and it flies and handles bumps like butter. Potholes within reason or you will fly off. Wear knee/shin guards at the very least. Rain and especially wet metal surfaces you need to watch out for because these are solid tires and not pneumatic and lose traction. It folds into a very compact footprint and is easily carried. Still highly recommended and one of the best ultra e-scooters out there, pound for pound.
@Coocola L3 Yes that’s how I trolley that thing around, steer by the display stem with handles folded. Slim profile. WD-40 on the springs AND both axles. That thing will fly with a burst of the throttle. I also waterproof my deck with black tape esp around the ends near the battery cover and rear wheels. Saves the openings from gunk and your bolts from rust. If it rains, I have a handy clear grocery bag I can cover the entire top assembly with. If you don’t do that, you’ll def short out the circuit board and that’s expensive to replace.
@Coocola L3 Holy cow. Good thing you are alright. Worst thing ever happened was the front wheel falling into a perfectly sized pothole or indentation on the ground. The bag I had behind my bag was heavy enough to pull me forward and I face planted. Blood everywhere. The two biggest dangers with small wheels are potholes and the trapping of the legs when you fall. Unlike bikes which have both of your legs dangling free, on a scooter both feet are planted and obstructed by the steering stem causing you to lose sure footing when you trip. Petroleum jelly of course, why didn’t I think of that.
Love your video 🎉hey the mudguard at the back. Looks very flimsy? Almost there. But need to have the option of speed. 25 to 30 customized to your country. Or do the option on an update. Why don't the kemetic scooters. Do this on an update😮
Thank you very much! The mudguard is indeed a bit flimsy. It would do well with another connection point to improve strength. It does divert water well however. And yes, speed limiting functionality would be nice to see although I believe it is unlikely we'll get an update like that.
I would like them to go back to the three-spoke rear wheel design. I don't pick up and carry my scooter, instead I walk it like a dog holding onto the rear wheel and the new spoke design makes this very natural method of walking with it difficult. Otherwise, E-Twow are the KINGS of e-scooters
Super god anmeldelse! Har du tilfældigvis nogen anelse om, hvor man kan købe den med levering til Danmark? 🤗 (dit link ser nemlig ud til at være forbeholdt USA)
Hej, jeg bor I Danmark og har snakket med dem I Spanien. Du kan købe den fra deres hjemmeside, husk bare at den er CE certificeret og er derfor begrænset til 25kmh. Dette er nemt at fixe da du nemt kan tage photodioden ud via to skruer.
Hi! It highly depends on how you value the smartphone integration with locking ability. If you have a solid U-lock, you may not have a need for smartphone locking. If, on the other hand, you don't have a physical lock, you may find comfort in the level of protection the app offers. There's about $100 between the two and the app is pretty much all that separates them.
I thought that as well (as it's labelled as 700W pretty much everywhere). But after some deep digging, I found out that the nominal power rating is actual 500W with the peak power being 700W or 800W (depending on where you look). The official manual says 500W nominal and 800W peak. Based on my test data, 500W nominal makes a lot more sense than 700W nominal as well. Peak power isn't as useful for comparing models as nominal power is, hence why I always reference nominal ratings.
@@eRideHero Oh, sorry I didn't know that. My local e-twow dealer said that it's 700W. So actually for example the ninebot g30 max 350W with also 700W peak, does it mean that these 2 are almost have the same power?
@@karolygellert7126 I also had a dealer tell me he guaranteed it's 700 nominal. GUARANTEED IT! But it made no sense because it was a little slower than the 600w Apollo City in some hill climb tests so 500 made more sense. So I contacted uscooters and they admitted it's "just over 500 watts", "but with the new controller it's a lot more powerful than you would expect and outperforms many scooters rated much higher." Claiming 700 watts (which is neither nominal nor peak) is seriously shady, but I decided to keep the scooter anyway and I am indeed impressed with the power. I'm 210 with gear and there are some long gentle hills near my apt the to was worried about, but the scooter went up them no problem, keeping the speed over 20 mph. For a 28 lbs scooter it's really quite impressive. Of course, if you have really, really steep hills then forget it. Go straight to dual motor.
@@MrMarnold6 700 watts testing in hill climb differences, could mean that one of the scooters its more ,,geared,, for torque and the otther for speed.

Thumb throttles will always feel more natural over trigger throttles. Why? Because they do not sacrifice the grip of the closed hand. With something like an eye or cyclops trigger you have to open your hand and index fingers for it, which also puts extra strain on it. I feel more tired using a Dualtron than the eTwow. If think it's"girly", then that's just your own internal insecurity.
Thumb throttles I like better, and that’s coming from someone’s who has both a trigger throttle and a thumb throttle scooter. Feels more natural and comfortable.

Probably the most thorough review. The range tests @ different speeds is how all these tests should be done.
Thanks man, really appreciate that. We always try to go the extra mile to provide useful data for the viewers! 🤟
Did you use regenerative braking during your range tests?
@@pt5149 Yup, pretty much used the motor brake exclusively

Thanks a bunch William!
Just upgraded this with the dual motor and extended battery kit (wasn't that easy haha)... it's an unbelievable 1000W hill climber now.
Where did you get them and how much did it cost?
Yea man can you give us some details on how you did it

can this go up a 16% hill?
