I plan on buying one of the ultra portables to carry in my car for emergencies and a bigger sit down model for tooling around town. Thank you a ton for what you're doing. It's a fantastic channel. 👍
This was so helpful! I'm new to electric scooters and was really lost. All the reviews I saw had some of these metrics, but none of them had all so it was great to have them all in one place. I feel much more confident about my purchase!
FINALLY!!! This review is so overdue its almost time for the 2021 GT :) I got a GPS verified 23 miles of range on flat London terrain. No other scooter comes close, especially when portability is factored in!

@@TjCox1993 trust me dud, i had 3 of these, first the eco, died within 1500 miles and the company said they couldnt fix it, they talked me into the boosterv, it died within 1000 miles, sent it back and forth from ny to Ca to get it fixed, the comapny is full of assholes, trust me. they couldnt fix the booster so they sent me a new one, guess what, it doesnt work right, slows down and then just stops working, turn it off and push it and then maybe it starts working again. total pos. I ride this on a flat bike path in NY 5 mile to work and 5 miles back. I had to buy a go trax to supplement, the go trax is solid but slow and reliable. Take it for what it is buddy, 500 miles, wait and see. Did your tail light go out yet?
I have the Eco (24v) and Booster V (36v), and I'm 238lbs. These two scooters handles me well. With the lock/unlock lever, it's really easy to utilize. All you have to do is push the handle bars forward, while pressing down the lever with your foot. It unlocks in a snap. However, I'm looking to upgrade again to the GT (48v). The hand brake is definitely needed for a 25mph escooter, especially for my Booster V. So, GT here I come. For your chart at 14:49, the Eco's range is 10miles and it's top speed is 15.9. NOTE: Your range will increase as you set your speed limit slower, from L5 to L1.
I can vouch for this scooter because I recently purchased the 2020. The benefits of small size/weight cannot be underestimated. I also have the eMove Cruiser which seemed HUGE when I received it. And support from Voro on a warranty claim was disappointing. Response time to inquiries is one thing. Honoring the warranty is another. Have any scooters ever failed the drop test?
Hi, I've been thinking about getting this scooter for a few days now but I'm curious if it had cruise control since I think I'll need it for my 6 mile commute per direction. I've read conflicting reviews online about it. Can you please let me know if you managed to activate it somehow?? Thank you!
Hello! Question, what's the most miles you've gotten on a ride? If you can include details on carry weight, and speed used that would be great. Thank you
Thanks for another great review Chuck! Like you, I have a warm spot for the E-Twow line of scooters. Heck, I still have my original ones in the garage.
Ive had one since they first came out and they are super solid - i found a used GT and am swooping it up so me and a friend can ride together -hoping eTWOW will release a dual motor version soon
Glad to hear it. It seems that a lot of people really stick with eTWOW scooters for years and years. Longer than folks keep most other scooters for sure. So glad you're enjoying yours!
@@DD-d6d3 because this review is bogus, he reviews brand new scooters. Why not really ride it for at least 1000 miles, then leave a review? That to me would be valuable but then everyone would realize that these things break, they cant be ridden in the rain and the scooters basically over time and real riding, fall apart. I've had 3 2 are in the garbage, the last one is hanging by a thread. My advice, shop elsewhere, good luck!
@@WHITELIONNYC Thanks. Yeah - I already narrowed it down to 3. Eliminated the Ninebot Max = too heavy and No Shocks. Also the Inokim Light 2 - looks good, although Very Expensive.
Max and L9 are heavy but have best water resistance for scooters. Zero scooters have no IP rating. E-twow GT is supposed to be ip54, the 21 gt se model with 48v battery and improved water resistance would be best option now.
I wonder how the braking compares to the SPLACH-SWIFT? It’s the only scooter I know of that has a front drum brake and rear E-ABS electronic brake. Do any other scooters have E-ABS electronic braking? I see there’s a kit that turns the etwow into the lightest suspension 2wd 🛴, now this is getting interesting. 🤔
did it die yet? rear light detach, did it open up on you while riding? If no then you are in for a few surprises down the road, good luck, youre gonna need it.
legg75962 Yo, you’re seriously on one tonight aren’t you? Talk about the saltiest youtube GTWOW hater...complains about the back light unplugging even though i had the same problem and fixed it my self with in 10 minutes. complete noob
Nobody has trouble with the locking safety lever? I guess as usual, I've got the rare lemon in an otherwise stellar product. Support didn't know what lever I might be talking about. I sent them a picture but it apparently didn't help with their comprehension process. I assume this top of the line scooter will be safe enough even though the "safety" feature is for me a bust. Clearly their production inspection process is not infallible. I worry that if the lever doesn't work, it means the assembly process could have gone wrong in there. Not reassuring.

I had the same doubt, zero9 is a fantastic scooter, design, lights and range, but finally, I've got the GT thinking in long term portability for commuting comfortably. I consider that riding more than 10 miles through city is exhausting. If you do more than that, better plan another way of transport.

Hi chuck Sean here from England UK. I got £1000 or $1300 to spend on a scooter which is the best in this price range in your HO. Looking for nice speed and range and not massively heavy. Many thanks Sean. Looking forward to your reply.
Excellent review. I do have 1 question though. I have the Booster GT 2019. Is the Booster GT 2020 longer, or are the 2 the same length? PS: You mentioned the GT 2020 isn't recommended for riders over 220lbs, but it can handle riders up to 125kg/275lbs, as per E-TWOW's website.
@@jsmorris6533 I figured the length was the same. As for the weight limit, Uscooters rates it at a 220lb weight limit, the sames as ewheels. E-Twow says it's 275 lbs weight limit.
I have the GT version before the after thought hand/drum brake was slapped on. Don’t like it. It takes away from the sleek clean profile and adds weight. Lever and fender brake are enough. When I have to stop on a dime or when someone opens a car door, I can always jump off. If this is the norm for future models, I’ll disconnect the brake cable and remove the lever. I see a cable coming from the dashboard that I will have to figure out. This customer’s feedback on the new brake is negative.
Hey, I have a dual 250w (each 500w peak) 12kg scooter called the s5 hero, I love it for the lightweightness for taking on the train etc but the build quality is terrible.. would this be able to do hills as well?
legg75962 damn, really popping off on swaying people to thinking it breaks a lot lol...sounds more like you ride it like a degenerate! I’ve had zero problems and already around 500miles, i see you said around 1.5k it stopped working but i’ve seen 10k on the same unit so get your sour nonsense outta here
@@bennos9604 I've had 3 of these, they are very unreliable. The scooter itself starts falling apart, rear fender will splice the rear light, pins in the handlebars always stick out. The machine is not reliable if you put miles on it, it will start to act up, ride slow, shut down, you never know. If you ride it in slow mode it would I assume work better long term but I could never get one of theses to go over 1500 miles before I had problems, when you have problems you have to send it to CA, The owners of the business in CA are not cool. takes forever to return and costs money to ship back and forth. All in all, not worth it
As received, my 2020 GT drum brake lever does NOT operate the brake light. Support has told me that it doesn't, but on other scooters with mechanical rear brakes it appears most if not all do so. I asked them what the wire coming from the lever was for, if not for the brake light, but they didn't answer that one. It'd be most helpful to have input here from other 2020 GT owners. Thanks. Why don't they admit it SHOULD work, and just send me a new brake lever? Is it really TRUE that the drum brake lever DOES NOT operate the brake light? Thanks.
I'm thinking about buying this scooter but my area has really poor roads. Which has better ride: solid tyres with suspension or pneumatic tyres without suspension? Is this more comfortable than, say, a Xiaomi M365?
The GT has some suspension in the front and rear, but you'll get a good brain massage on rougher roads given the small, solid tires. Suspension on smaller scooters can only soak up so much. -Trina
The E-TWOW GT (and SE) is a great scooter, but I'm not sure it would be very comfortable to add a seat to this. The deck is pretty narrow, so your feet would probably have to be lined up on the deck. Because it's on the narrower side and the deck isn't very square in shape, it would definitely be harder to find an aftermarket seat that would work. If you really want to sit down, it might be better to get another scooter that's got a seat as an option and a wider deck where your feet would be in a more comfortable riding position. Thanks for watching! - Trina
legg75962 “no water resistance at all” yet i rode it through semi wet roads and it was totally fine. this guy you’ll notice is hating all over this video and using his own ignorant complaints to sway customers a different way! don’t listen to mr. sour patch noob

A bit of bait and switch is here. It is supposed to be an "ultra-portable" scooter, then the reviewer provides reasons for why I should not mind it being heavier than a lot of scooters.
Hey man, the coupon is not working for me when I follow your link. Is it because I'm in Italy and it goes to the amazon.it marketplace instead of the .com?
Not a good scooter at all, I have had 3. only reason, the first one broke down and was irreparable, so they talked me into the Booster V. Broke down with less than 1000 miles on it, took a long time to get back from the company. when i did get it back, it was toast within a week, sent it back about 3-4 times, lost count. They finally sent me an actual replacement, the replacement is doing the same stuff the others did, shuts down, goes fast then goes slow then just stops, many error codes, Most importantly, the people who run the company specifically Scott Morris, not a cool person. Could care less about you after the sale. Didnt return phone calls or emails, acts like its my pault that i have to return the scooter every month. Awful awful awful, trust me, there are much better option out there and you dont want to give your money to jerks.
legg75962 HERE WE GO FOLKS! Finally found this trolls actual review after seeing comment after comment reply of telling people it breaks down all the time...HE IS A FRAUD.

Second...he’s used different stories and said he couldn’t fix something so basic he had to ship it back. he’s a complete noob, i’ve added 500 miles since i got mine last month and this thing is amazing !

I have the GT version before the after thought hand/drum brake was slapped on. Don’t like it. It takes away from the sleek clean profile and adds weight. Lever and fender brake are enough. When I have to stop on a dime or when someone opens a car door, I can always jump off. If this is the norm for future models, I’ll disconnect the brake cable and remove the lever. I see a cable coming from the dashboard that I will have to figure out. This customer’s feedback on the new brake is negative.
You can still get the scooter without the extra rear drum brake. I love the extra brake personally.

Excellent program 👍

Hey, I have a dual 250w (each 500w peak) 12kg scooter called the s5 hero, I love it for the lightweightness for taking on the train etc but the build quality is terrible.. would this be able to do hills as well?
are Uscooter and Etwow the same company? I was looking to buy this scooter which company should I buy from?
I have Etwow gt, it's great 💪👍
I'm planning on buying one. How accurate is the 25mph?
@@danieliturrino7381 it's real, 40 km/h
I don't know why you didn't compare with the xiaomi pro model. one of the most popular escooter of the market.
just got mine today! absolutely loving it, so happy, suspension is super on point
does it still work? wait and see when you have to get it repaired, it will break down soon, trust me... total POS
legg75962 damn, really popping off on swaying people to thinking it breaks a lot lol...sounds more like you ride it like a degenerate! I’ve had zero problems and already around 500miles, i see you said around 1.5k it stopped working but i’ve seen 10k on the same unit so get your sour nonsense outta here
@@TjCox1993 you are a liar, you said it broke and you "fixed" it yourself. Liar, you are fake news buddy. get back in the basement
UPDATE: 750 miles and still works beautifully
@@TjCox1993 LOL
How long will the coupon code be active? Looking to purchase a booster GT in July!
Does this scooter contain some space to install phone holder ? Or Should I add a extension bar ?
you would need a extension bar to be safe
Damn Booster is expensive for such a small scooter, wish there were air and wider tires version.
dont buy it, its garbage, trust me
@@legg75962 why?
@@bennos9604 I've had 3 of these, they are very unreliable. The scooter itself starts falling apart, rear fender will splice the rear light, pins in the handlebars always stick out. The machine is not reliable if you put miles on it, it will start to act up, ride slow, shut down, you never know. If you ride it in slow mode it would I assume work better long term but I could never get one of theses to go over 1500 miles before I had problems, when you have problems you have to send it to CA, The owners of the business in CA are not cool. takes forever to return and costs money to ship back and forth. All in all, not worth it
Mine has worked fine for 3 years
Had mine 2 years, no problems, this guy is a troll/bit. Ignore the oxygen thief in his mothers basement.
As received, my 2020 GT drum brake lever does NOT operate the brake light. Support has told me that it doesn't, but on other scooters with mechanical rear brakes it appears most if not all do so. I asked them what the wire coming from the lever was for, if not for the brake light, but they didn't answer that one. It'd be most helpful to have input here from other 2020 GT owners. Thanks. Why don't they admit it SHOULD work, and just send me a new brake lever? Is it really TRUE that the drum brake lever DOES NOT operate the brake light? Thanks.
It's not for the brake light. It stops the motor to avoid accelerating and breaking at the same time.
Berkeley was definitely a good testing ground
I'm thinking about buying this scooter but my area has really poor roads. Which has better ride: solid tyres with suspension or pneumatic tyres without suspension? Is this more comfortable than, say, a Xiaomi M365?
Dual suspension works great and never having to worry about tire pressure or flats is worth it.
Great review. It looks like the motor is 500W nominal instead of 700W.
I've been trying to understand this tool. It performs on par with 500 watt scooters. And is slower at hill climbs than the 600 watt Apollo City
Motor rating is useless it's all about the controller
Compare to Ninebot Max?
can it use for who was 120 kilo !
Can have the performance of the starship enterprise.If they are not making them anymore it is useless.
They make the GT SE now.

hey @ElectricScooterGuide how do you enable the cruise control on the Etwow GT 20202 or uscooter GT ?
These models don't have cruise control
Stem length ? I’m 6’3 will I feel comfortable
Yes it has a high stem setting
no suspension?
The GT has some suspension in the front and rear, but you'll get a good brain massage on rougher roads given the small, solid tires. Suspension on smaller scooters can only soak up so much. -Trina
Weight limit?
265lbs
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thanks
Should be comparing to the ninebot max 15 miles range is rubbish and solid tyres are a rough ride
The ninebot max, even with the Limit removed does not go as fast, is a lot heavier and a lot harder to take on a train.
When it comes to solid tires this is the best until you get to Dualtron compact.
which weighs almost 3 times as much...
I wish they had a seat that was made for the scooter.
The E-TWOW GT (and SE) is a great scooter, but I'm not sure it would be very comfortable to add a seat to this. The deck is pretty narrow, so your feet would probably have to be lined up on the deck. Because it's on the narrower side and the deck isn't very square in shape, it would definitely be harder to find an aftermarket seat that would work.
If you really want to sit down, it might be better to get another scooter that's got a seat as an option and a wider deck where your feet would be in a more comfortable riding position. Thanks for watching! - Trina
I'm zero in to buy one of these, but for that price I'm really expecting some water resistance.
no water resistance at all, the scooter as a whole is a POS, you have good insticts my freind!
legg75962 “no water resistance at all” yet i rode it through semi wet roads and it was totally fine. this guy you’ll notice is hating all over this video and using his own ignorant complaints to sway customers a different way! don’t listen to mr. sour patch noob

This thing has all the specs I'd want in a scooter... i just wish it was cooler looking >.
Trust me when I say you get so much unwanted attention riding a scooter less flare is better I promise .. course I live in the ghetto in Las vegas so having 1000 scooter u don't want more people looking at you
@@LasVegasEbikes oh yeah, same. I made mine look worse by wrapping some duct tape on the stem.
not bad.. buuut the price is killing it... 900£ totally not worth it
This video reassured me that I made a good choice by going with the Xiaomi M365 Pro
Why, this is better than the Xiaomi in so many ways, I have a Xiaomi and am looking to change to this one
A bit of bait and switch is here. It is supposed to be an "ultra-portable" scooter, then the reviewer provides reasons for why I should not mind it being heavier than a lot of scooters.
This is a very old video to be honest!
Awesome review. Wish it was for people around 225lbs 😔
It is rated for 275 lbs. so you would not have any issue at all, I ride daily at 280 lbs. and it flys up hills
I was gonna say I'm 240 and have had no issues. And its rated for 275
Bad sound 😣
Thanks for the tip!
if they had put the motor in the rear for better traction and put the drum brake in the front it would had been the perfect scooter...
Brakes on front would send you over the handlebars
@@DD-d6d3 You get better traction with front wheel drive.

You meant to say front motor, right?
Have you compared it to the booster v?
Hey man, the coupon is not working for me when I follow your link. Is it because I'm in Italy and it goes to the amazon.it marketplace instead of the .com?
i knew they have different motors but do all Uscooters have the same charger
Not a good scooter at all, I have had 3. only reason, the first one broke down and was irreparable, so they talked me into the Booster V. Broke down with less than 1000 miles on it, took a long time to get back from the company. when i did get it back, it was toast within a week, sent it back about 3-4 times, lost count. They finally sent me an actual replacement, the replacement is doing the same stuff the others did, shuts down, goes fast then goes slow then just stops, many error codes, Most importantly, the people who run the company specifically Scott Morris, not a cool person. Could care less about you after the sale. Didnt return phone calls or emails, acts like its my pault that i have to return the scooter every month. Awful awful awful, trust me, there are much better option out there and you dont want to give your money to jerks.
legg75962 HERE WE GO FOLKS! Finally found this trolls actual review after seeing comment after comment reply of telling people it breaks down all the time...HE IS A FRAUD. First of all, why the F are you talking about Booster V when we’re all talking about the GT 2020 here?
Second...he’s used different stories and said he couldn’t fix something so basic he had to ship it back. he’s a complete noob, i’ve added 500 miles since i got mine last month and this thing is amazing ! Their factory produces every part themselves, NO OUTSOURCING ! 5/5
@@TjCox1993 hey d bag, how's your scooter holding up?
@@legg75962 funny to hear from my old legg friend...just fine buddy, i had not used it during winter much but no problems thus far! also...scooters are gonna have defects, some might last hundreds of miles where as others just won’t, it really all depends.
