I purchased a TW Swift as my first escooter and boy do I love it. Of course you're always going to want a faster and faster scooter, but for my budget this was a perfect choice. It being in the T8 line, the Swift is by far the best choice in the line. The extra font brake is a no brainers for why I went with the Swift. I already have over 1000 miles on it and I honestly haven't been babying it. Its survived my abuse in nyc streets and keeps going. In the 1000 miles the only maintenance I've had is 1 flat tire. That's it. Aside from the scooter, the customer support from eWheels is top notch.
