Nice review, and that's an awesome trail! I'm a larger person myself, so seeing a review from someone like me means more than seeing those younger, smaller folks ride around on them.
i just got this scooter. Absolutely loving it! I was able to get 43km/h as i am only 160lbs! Great review and nice to see beacon hill park again. Haven't been there for a while.
That's amazing ...it really is an awesome scooter...it made my list for best commuter this morning :) Check it out here Max :) th-cam.com/video/y52uL4NpPnc/w-d-xo.html Once the tents are gone the park will look awesome again :)
Tim, glad to see the big guy on that compact scooter! Those E-TWOW models are really spunky for their size and the range, for me as a less big guy, has been impressive. Go Double Unicorn!
Hi Tim, I have the smaller s+ model and it’s great. It just lacks the drum break and kickstand and has a 500 watt peak motor pretty much (look at my user icon pic and that’s the model I have in black). Its also a tiny bit shorter. It’s solid rubber tyres though don’t think they are foam filled. I’m 84kg and my sport is great for trips to the store or short journeys for fun, great thing is the etwow scooters are small enough to carry in the shop with you, stick in a trolley etc. I gave some feedback to etwow a while back saying about water resistance and indicators and they said indicators they are working on and also pointed out to me that the 2021 GT SE can now be ridden in light rain and through puddles up to 1cm deep! Apparently they have changed the controller housing and battery. Electron surfer did a great review actually of the old sport vs the newer sport. I rode a voi rental scooter here in the Uk which is basically a ninebot max with front fork suspension and I was slightly underwhelmed that the ride comfort wasn’t as better as I thought it would be compared to my etwow sport so just shows how good the etwow suspension is. Only downside is the solid tyres make going over bumpy surfaces a bit noisy. I think honeycomb or dual density tyres, indicators, ip55 rating (just in case) and the GT would be the best scooter by far for dry weather commuting or fun. I hope they add the drum brake to all their models also 😀 keep up the good work.
@@TimsElectric Has anyone ever informed you you're rather fat? Its ok from a moral perspective im allowed to send these sort of messages because im larger than you 😆 and yes strangers have let me know im an outta shape fatso, i typically glance down and act surprised like what?! when did this happen to me?!
@@TimsElectric lighten up friend making fun of ourselves is afterall the best way ive found to take the power away from any insult, another option would be to psychically assault anyone making fun you but theres two problems 1> id lose more fights than id win i think 2> the law tends to frown on that with legal punishments and such
Once again incredible review Timothy =) Watching your review plus ginger on wheels and bens review has convinced me to go get 1 to make my shopping easier... and smoother. The stage before my Vsett I think. Thanks once again I just wish my area was as nice as yours to go out in
Cheers Mark, thank you for saying hello in the comments and ...I really like the UScooter...at first I thought it would be too small to get me around...but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is :)
I would love to review the Ninebot Max G30 too....I'll reach out to them and see if they can send me a demo unit...thank you so much Tommy ...now I have to figure out who and where to reach out lol :)
it's funny that this is the comment below the Uscooter GT video....it's not a simple answer...,.but for long range cruising Emove Cruiser/Wolf King GT Pro...for short hops in town...Uscooter GT Sport/GT SE for medium trips around the city, Hiboy S2 Max, when I have to get to soccer to referee, Varla Pegasus and when I'm off just for a cruise, some trails, some city...then Varla Eagle One....I guess I have a top 6 lol :) Cheers to you in GB :)
@@TimsElectric Oh yeah, I've watched it before! That was a great comparison, Big Guy! By the way, I wonder whether the GT's tires can be replaced with air-filled tires. I know it's possible with the rear tire, but I'm not so sure about the front tire.
I don't know the answer to that...but I can say I really like the scooter just the way it is...just bought some silicone spray for the rear shock to get rid of the squeaks :) It was squeaking a bit ...but all well now :)
Hi Anthony I love my little GT SE. I am shorter than you (6') and at present just 260lbs I use it all the time to ride into town, off to the stores, soccer pitches, massage treatments etc and love it. I wouldn't want to go more than 5 Miles on it (as it's small and so is the battery)...I reach for it all the time :) If you wanted some hills and longer range then maybe look at the Varla Pegasus...solid tires too but bigger battery....but it's also quite a bit heavier.....I use the Pegasus for longer rides...hope this helps :) :) do let me know what you decide on and how you like it after a few weeks :)
That's a really good question....I'll need to do a range test....but I use it for short hops at present...but Melissa follows me all of the place with me and we get home and she has (80%) lol ,...but for a big guy I'll do a range test :)
@@TimsElectric I watched one review where the tested range was 15 mi, the guy was average lol my scooter will arrive this Friday. After watching many reviews, I guess this is the best portable powerful scooter in the market :) do you recommend any app to track and check range, average speed? Seems the scooter speedometer is not accurate!
Cool, the only small negative i find with this type of scooter is the handle bars are too compact, I prefer a wider width on them. Nice it has suspension on, the was always the problem with the xiaomi m365 pro etc.
HI Captain John, I checked their correspondence with me and they said "On Canadian retail sales we do include shipping and duties to help them out..." so I would email them ...and let them know that you saw the video on this channel...maybe they were only doing it for a certain time period...let me know what they say and I can adjust my copy on the video :) Cheers Tim
I'm actually going to do a full comparison very soon..i have a Leger pro vs Leger video first then this one...hang tight and you'll get some helpful info :) (I hope) :)
Thank you for this review. It's really helped me in my decision making. I've been comparing a TON of E-scooter models and I was 70% leaning this scooter.. now i'm about 95%. :) You wouldn't happen to have a US code, would you? Were there any negatives that you experienced? Is "U-Scooter the North America name for the E-TWOW?
Glad I could help Jennifer! I believe you're correct, UScooter is the NA version of E-TOW and sadly I don't have a code for the US You might be able to get one from Jim's Channel here: th-cam.com/channels/UigEKCW51H6tqkTbFztX3A.html He review it too...and loved it :)
@@TimsElectric I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much. I haven't watched his video yet but I do plan on (finally) ordering tomorrow. I've done so much research and I really think the U-Scooter GT-SE is perfect for my commuting needs and wants. Cheers!
Hope you love it as much as we do...and pro tip...i mentioned that the rear shock sometimes gets a squeak...a little bit of liquid lubricant makes it go away..something that might be helpful after a few months of riding :)
Uscooter got back to me right away :) Here's what they say: The scooter is water resistant not waterproof so you would need to use good judgement. If you know it’s going to be heavy rain you should try to avoid riding and always steer clear of deep puddles. It has a rating of IPX4 so riding in a light rain won’t cause a problem but you need to use caution as the roads get slick. We do silicone around the battery compartment before it leaves our warehouse for some extra protection. We sell 1000’s of scooters a year and do not see very many water related issues as most people use good judgement. If you know it’s going to be heavy rain covering the display with saran wrap for example is something some daily commuters do. The key is to avoid puddles and heavy downpours and be safe on turns as roads get slick.
@@TimsElectric thanks for the detailed reply. My issue is that I moved from Australia to Malaysia and it rains often. That's why I was thinking of getting one of the ninebot scooters, either max or F40, but I want something with more torque and speed and is lighter. The new e-twow gt se is what I want. I guess it's so light I could also get a waterproof bag for when the rain gets heavy.
@@TimsElectric Thanks for the reply and I'm looking forward to the comparison videos. I'm trying to decide which one to buy (because they're not inexpensive), so every review helps. Thanks.
Might try and film it tomorrow...I have lots to film but feel really drawn to do this comparison video...they've made my life so much easier for getting around the city :)
@@TimsElectric Good to know how well the scooter is doing for you. I will be on the lookout for the new video. Thanks for doing these because it really helps.

I think this one is going to change my whole outlook on life i love these things
nothing but smiles when you ride one of these :)
Looks like a good comparison to the E-move touring or a Zero-8 would be nice for prospective buyers wanting light compact but capable performers.
terrific idea Robert :) :)

Great review. Looks like a great scooter because of it's weight, range and price. Would love to see the comparison to the Ninebot Max G30 for range.

Hey Tim...of all the scooters that you've tested which is your personal favourite?🇬🇧

Great scooter. Good vibes. I have that one to.
I love it! perfect for short rides into the shops and perfect for my wife too..she can carry it easily up and down stairs and fold it up and down :)
As always, another great review! How do you think it compares to the Rev Zero 9?
Good question! I think I'll do a comparison for sure :) :)
@@TimsElectric Awesome...thank you :)
@@TheBulavaGroup thank you for leaving a comment...my first observation is that the Zero 9 is heavier...but a proper review is coming up for sure :)

Hi Anthony
I love my little GT SE.
I am shorter than you (6') and at present just 260lbs

Hi Tim great review. Question regarding Canadian shipping, when I go to the checkout on Uscooters it shows $200 shipping to Canada. Any suggestions?
