As an alternative to taking the NYC subway, I wanted to get something that could get me to and from work from Manhattan to Brooklyn quickly and safely during the pandemic. I also needed something that wouldn't take up too much precious real estate. After doing weeks of research, I narrowed down my choices to the Turbowheel Swift and the E-twow GT. The safety features (front and rear brakes, suspension, solid without weighing too much to carry up a few flights of stairs) of the Turbowheel Swift won over my husband as I am a fairly klutzy person and a new scooter rider. We took it out for a spin today on cobblestone, boardwalks, and bike paths, and my husband has decided that he now needs one too. The adjustable handlebar made it easy for both of us to ride the scooter comfortably. The LCD is bright and fairly easy to adjust (once I read the manual carefully). It goes very fast - no need for mode 2 for me! I collapsed the scooter in one minute when we decided to dine outdoors after the ride. It took up very little room under the table, and I was able to do it very easily by myself. I was able to fit a bell, headlight, and phone holder on my handlebars (and still allow them to collapse). Just make sure to measure carefully! If you are looking for a compact, fairly lightweight, and safe scooter, this one is it!
