[@coaldust01]

I'm so tempted by the GT 2020 SE, currently have a Xiaomi 1s it's a great little scooter but a little slow for my taste, this will have better range, better hill climbing ability and the best of all more speed 😁, I'm 70kg so it should go well hopefully. Great video bro.

[@AlienRides]

I think the E-twow GT would be a great upgrade for you if you can swing it, tons of power and light weight. Ride safe!

[@_Digitalguy]

I have both this and the Rev and that's in line with my range on somewhat flat ground, I get almost 10 miles on the rev and 15 on the etwow (both at max settings). You can limit speed on both and get more. The reason is twofold, the etwow has a larger battery (around 20% larger) and has lower max speed (22mph vs 25mph) combined with a much softer initial acceleration, which is the moment when the battery is taxed more. Having said that the fast initial acceleration of the boosted makes you feel much safer in traffic when you don't have bike lanes and need to follow cars...

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for your insights, and awesome that you have both of them! It is true that dual motors are definitely nice for acceleration in traffic, and also probably climbing hills too. Good to have more datapoints on range on flat ground for these scooters.

[@_Digitalguy]

@@AlienRides they complement each other very well, I take the etwow more often (every day) and the Rev when it rains or when I know I have relatively long distances without bike lanes, or sometimes simply to have more fun. As for hills I don't have any that the GT cannot climb, although the rev can climb faster...

[@stovetoppsteve]

and that handlebar rattle is perpetual.. no lie the time i needed my scooter fixed... i mustve rode so hard on that particular model, i came to a stop on the corner, and.. no joke... the friggin handlebars FELL(SNAPPED) FORWARD😱yet i was putting absolutely no pressure leaning forward... i almost 💩 myself

[@zahab210]

Great review! How do you think this compares to the SPEEDWAY MINI 4 PRO? I know the mini pro is slightly faster but also a bit heavier. I'm trying to decide between the two as far as which will hold up better over time and has better reliability. Warranty, portability, maintenance, ride quality, build quality, acceleration, tires, features, customer service, etc. are also some of the things I'm looking to compare. I would really appreciate your feedback or any additional comments you would like to make. thanks!

[@johnstover4584]

More torque puts more stress on the scooter. So less torque will help the scooter last longer and the battery will last longer as well.

[@stovetoppsteve]

This scooter has been my main scooter since 2015 to now. the Uscooter E-TWOW's are very dependable, but I have had a few problems. Scott(guy that answers CS emails) and I have lost connection once and I just decided to buy a whole new scooter because I got tired of waiting for an answer. That just goes to show how impressed I was just by the quality of the ride. Not so much by the response time though.. How and ever, all of my scooters(3 Uscooter Booster models) were all pushed beyond 1300 miles on the battery. I needed a solution but didnt know where to start at the time. Now, I'd still say give them a shot. The ride of a Uscooter is invigorating, and I mean it. Front wheel drive and a foot stomp brake were ideal for me for a while. Now, I'm advanced and have moved on to a newer cruise style model, but the Uscooter still checks all the boxes in my book of reliable, quality scooters. Thanks ALIEN, way to show it off playboy💪🏿😎🛴

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the scooter. I'm a big fan of them and want to do more videos with them in the future. I do hope their customer service improves, that will make or break a scooter company for sure. 👽🖖

[@flhandster4395]

Great video. You seem to be moving along down those sidewalks rather swiftly. :) So, is this the latest ETWOW "GT" model? I've seen a Booster GT as well, so just making sure it is the same thing. A couple of questions to leave here. Are you familiar with the EMOVE Touring scooter? I was wondering how the GT model would compare to it. Also, does a carry handle come with the ETWOW scooters? How long does it take to charge the GT? Are these scooters airline friendly? Thanks again for the video and your time. Stay safe!

[@AlienRides]

Hello! technically this is the E-twow S2 GT I believe, which is their latest model. I'm not sure if it's the same as the Booster GT, possibly? I am familiar with the Emove, I've seen it in person. The E-twow is much lighter and more portable in my mind, but the Emove might be better for long distance cruising for a long period of time. I would say maybe the E-twow is fine for up to 5 miles or so, then it might be worth the larger Emove for comfort. There is no carry handle, but there is a locking stem, and the scooter is fairly lightweight. I don't remember how long it takes to charge. I don't know any scooter that is airline friendly. In that you can easily remove the battery packs and check the scooter. I think you would need to ship them all basically. Good luck with your decision!

[@flhandster4395]

@@AlienRides Possibly, I'm not sure. The USA dealer is UScooters.com and they have it listed as the "Booster GT." Do they come with a carry handle? Also, what is the circumference of the tires?

[@AlienRides]

DON HAND ah, I’m not sure on the wheel size as I no longer have this scooter. Uscooters is good, it that might be the older version (not the s2). Check the link in the video description, they sell the S2 GT version, and compare the two.

😅 Definitely a hard decision! Both are awesome scooters, but I think the swift was a bit bulkier/heavier. Personally I think the E-twow might be better for straight commuting since it's so compact and lightweight, but the Swift might just be more "fun" as well. If you're not constrained by size or weight, maybe consider going bigger with the swift.

[@tedn.6182]

I had the same dilemma Zero 8 vs E-Twow. I finally went with the Uscooter GT ( E-Twow ). Due to the portability and light weight. I also had a big surprise. The new 2020 model now has a kickstand and a mechanical drum brake on the rear tire.

[@robbyv906]

How is the braking on this scooter from a high speed to a sudden stop? Do you feel like you would flip forward since this scooter has front brakes? How are about the tires? Since they are both solid, do you think they have enough traction for riding on cold ground? (I live in NYC, and I feel that my solid back tire sometimes slips when I ride during the cold months)

[@AlienRides]

I believe this only has motor brakes, which are not as powerful as disk brakes, but still pretty decent. I don't think you'd have any worry about flipping over the handlebars as the front brakes are not super grabby. I didn't do a brake distance stop test, but maybe I should've. I do think this would make for a great commuter around NYC, it's super portable for sure.

I didn’t t have time to do a range test with the swift unfortunately, but it does have more watt hours than the swift. Because of that it might get a little more range, but I don’t think it would be a huge difference.

[@NoggintheNod]

6 Months ago, they was asking more for this than my Dualtron Mini. (£1050/£980). (And to think, I was considering buying one for the supermarket run). I have learned a lot in these past 6 months. A lot about, what is right for me, and what is totally a bad choice. At the moment, I'm looking at the Ltd Edition Dualtron Spider. (Low weight and dual motors). I didn't realise how many steep hills there are in my town. Not until I got my scooter, and rode around a bit. I also noticed, the poor condition of the of the bike lanes I travel on. People seem to think I zoom around at 30 mph +. You simply can't. Not on these poor surfaces

[@AlienRides]

Definitely a good point to choose the best vehicle for your local riding conditions. Hopefully the quality of your roads and bike lanes improves soon. Ride safe!

[@RanRc25]

This or the swift? Which one would you choose between them?

[@AlienRides]

Personally I really like how lightweight the E-twow is, so that would be my preference. If cost is a factor though, the swift is still a great option that might give you more bang for your buck.

This E scooter doesn't get the online hype because its not really for the hobbie rider, its a true last mile transportation commuter, and I think they nailed this one with the specs, with the size, weight, and performance. The hard rubber tires are a plus for reliability, and this scooter has the added bonus of suspension. I bet E-twow sells a lot more of these than people realize, its just people who aren't part of the culture, and buy them for their utilitartian needs. Again based on size and form factor, you can keep one of these tucked into trunk of your car and can have handy for impromptu events.

Having been blown away by my new Dualtron Mini, I'm now looking for a second escooter to complete my new experience with this kind of transport. I am considering the 2020 ETWOW GT, along with the Speedway Leger. Obviously the GT is a lot lighter, but the (more powerful) Leger folds up into quite a small package. I'm thinking the GT would be allowed into my local supermarket, with ease, while the Leger could be borderline. In the Uk, I can pick up the Leger for £830, but the GT would come close to £1,000. 😳 Your input on this would be gratefuly recieved.

They are a lot of fun for sure, unfortunately almost all of my scooters go back to the sellers for them to demo or make more content on :( I hope you get a scooter in the future.

[@lanceguilin]

Alien, so after this test -- where the scooter is basically 26lb of dead weight -- how did you get back home? did you call your wife for a pickup or did you use lyft / uber? serious question. ;-)

[@AlienRides]

In this video I just called for an Uber. I could've also probably taken a bus or two to get home, but that takes a long time in San Francisco. I've done other range tests where I stop at a cafe and charge up for a few hours to get home though :)

[@anttmann6123]

Wow another great video. Thank you. Just wondering how comfortable was the ride? Were your hands or feet particularly sore? How well did the scooter handle the bumps?

[@AlienRides]

I equate it to driving a sports car. For example, driving a McLaren might not be the most cushy and comfortable ride, but damn it's fun. The same applies here. Since it's a racing scooter you will always feel the road, and cracks and potholes and stuff, but the rear suspension does just enough work to keep you in control and riding fast. I can ride the Rion for several hours and be totally fine without soreness, but I'm also a fairly experienced rider at this point.

nice ride in san Francisco :)

[@AlienRides]

Thanks, love riding here!

[@FreedomAstray]

You ran out of power how did you get home.

[@AlienRides]

Good question, I took an Uber and put it in the back of the car 😅

46:50 LOSING POWER!!!!

[@SebastianPappG]

is not fair at all that u used it for climbing and stuff....the autonomy for this one is 50 KM....by the time u had like 30 km done u should had left 50%, not 0% on 20KM...

[@AlienRides]

Hah, well you can't get around San Francisco without a few hill climbs, and most are worse than this. It is true though, I am very hard on my range tests, so most can expect to get much better! Still super happy with how this scooter performed, it did much better than the Boosted Rev, and almost as good as a Mantis, which weights 3x of this scooter.

[@SebastianPappG]

@@AlienRides looking forward for your dualtron tunned up and more cool drone videos.

[@AlienRides]

Time to use gloves 🛴🛴🛴🛴🛴🛴🛴🛴🛴👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AlienRides]

Hah, generally I do! Definitely makes for a more comfortable (and safe) ride.

[@MiamiDrake145]

That was not 20mph I saw you stop and your speedometer said 10 mph

[@AlienRides]

I was maxing it out the whole time for sure, the onscreen GPS should be mostly accurate because my cellphone was recording it. Maybe I can show the speedometer more in future videos.

[@joaquinfernandesgarcia3269]

32:21 Your battery level is low

[@AlienRides]

Lol thanks for that! 👽🖖

[@madrodeo425]

Thumb throttle omg.. That's so.. 😰

[@AlienRides]

It’s not too bad I think for typical commuter scooter distances, but I did find my hand cramping up a little bit during the ride. Figured I just wasn’t used to it 😅

[@AlienRides]

I’m starting to become a fan if the reversed left handed thumb throttle, used as an over-bar index finger throttle. Eugene showed that trick to me, seems neat!

[@madrodeo425]

@@AlienRides will send you some photos on Tuesdays of my new build. It actually comes with thumb throttle, I know it won't work out so I change it. Didn't post it in page as you know what's happening here now.

[@fairwayprinting1392]

Guess what, these things break and stop working often. When they break, you have no service options except to ship them back to the company located in california on your dime plus repair costs. My first etwow cost 1000$, i got 1500 miles out of it then it died, the company convinced me to upgrade to a booster v and gave me a discount, another $1000. that one died after 1800 miles, I had to send it back 3 separate times to have it serviced and repaired. It still doesn't work right. All the parts are faulty, the controllers are garbage and made in china, they break often from my experience. I would never buy anything from uscooter / etwow again. Total garbage. Great when and if it works but IMO, too expensive for a disposable scooter. you have been warned. These reviews are nonsense, let's see a review from someone who has traveled over 3000 miles on one of these, you wont find any because they don't exist.

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for sharing your experience with these scooters. You're right I was only sent this model for review and only had it for a few weeks. If they don't hold up for long periods of ownership though that's no good at all.

[@drupacabra]

Too weak up hills

[@AlienRides]

I thought it did pretty good for a commuter scooter, but a dual motor scooter is going to be a lot better at climbing hills for sure.

[@hhy2k]

These range tests are super useless. All you need to do is multiply the voltage with the battery capacity. In this case: 48v x 10.5 Ah.... That is 504 Wh. The Boosted Rev is 43V x 8,5 Ah =365Wh so it will manage about 75% og the Etwow GT. The Xiaomi is 36V x 7.5Ah =260Wh is about the half distance with the same person. That's it. Half size person (your GF) manages double the distance! All other differences are negligable. This thing goes way over 30 km without those crazy steep hills. (30km with 30% left on the battery usually, 80kg person))

[@AlienRides]

Thanks for the feedback. I think there is definitely something to be said about the impact of things like controller efficiency, motor windings, voltage sag, etc that these tests can demonstrate. A lot of it might not matter until you get into higher end scooters where it really shows though.

[@hhy2k]

Alien Rides I didn't say there is no point doing tests per se, it is fun to watch an all, but people should become familiar with these numbers, so they can have a fair judgements on the spot without even doing a range test. "My Xiaomi does 15 miles with me on its 270wh battery than the etwow GT will do about double with 500wh..." Somewhere along these lines... Keep on doing the vids! Great job!

[@luisseminario4790]

🥱... just kidding!!! Now that’s a lil super scooter👍. Also I think your weight is still up there, gotta lose some more buddy 😂

[@AlienRides]

Haha, screw losing more weight, I'll just wait for battery tech to get better! 😬

[@drupacabra]

Too slow

[@AlienRides]

Not the fastest, but nice little commuter. Check out our latest on the Rion if you want fast :)

[@heyojayo8642]

Yh its decent performance for a single motor. Everyone knows if you've got hills you go dbl motor. I'm interested in what a 1400W dbl motor GT could do?
