NEW: E-TWOW GT 700W/504Wh 25MPH Smart Edition (SE) / Silver Reviews

4.8 Rating 5 Reviews
I am very happy with this scooter. I commute by rail into Manhattan and then have a ~15 min walk to my office that is not well served by subway. I wanted something that folded compact, less than 30 lbs, with enough pick-up to keep up with city traffic, shocks, and good brakes. The E-TWOW GT SE checked all of the boxes and is perfect for my needs. Solid build, attractive, and performs well. I researched scooters like crazy and this was the right choice. Some things were better than I expected based on my research: Wheel/shock combo is fine for bumpy city streets - don't worry about the solid wheels. Braking is plenty strong. I went with the SE to get the drum brake given the need for quick stops in the city, but have not needed anything more than the regenerative brake. Speed is good. It does 20-21mph with ease. I have gotten it up to 23+ mph, but haven't been able to (or really tried) to hit 25mph. In the city, 20mph feels fast enough - anything more feels a little risky. Only one real disappointment - the folding mechanism is a challenge, especially with dress shoes on. I've lubricated mine and it is a little better, but still takes a few tries to succeed with the push and press maneuver. Once folded, however, it fits under the seats or on the overhead rack of the commuter train. If you are looking for a scooter for true last mile commuting, this is a great choice. Weight REALLY matters - I would not get anything over 30 lbs for this sort of use. If I had to do it again, I might even go with the Booster to save a couple lbs as the drum brake doesn't seem as necessary as I thought. But then, the first time someone opens a car door in front of me, I'll be glad I have it.

if you want an ultra portable no maintenance scooter stop searching, this is the one. The handle bars and deck are narrower and shorter then most but that's expected for the weight. My wife who is all of 5ft 120lbs can easily lift, fold and ride this thing.

The E-TWOW GT SE is everything I had hoped it would be. Light enough to carry around, yet goes just about as fast as I'd even want to ride a scooter on the city streets! I've gotten about 16mi range riding around at full speed and with elevation, so that's about as promised as well. I'd read online that the solid wheels make for a slightly more rattle-y ride over somewhat rough terrain, but that the dual shocks make going over real bumps a lot smoother than pneumatic tires with no shocks—in the week I've been riding the scooter, I've found that to be 100% true. I don't might the light rattles of rough ground, and I've gone over some gnarly sewer grates, expansion joints, and other road-holes and the 'turbulence' is pretty smooth. The brakes are very sensitive and took a day of getting use to, but work really well. Even just using the electronic brake (1/3 of them), a half-second or so while cruising at full speed is enough to slow the scooter to a speed where I'd feel comfortable jumping off and bailing—that and the mechanical brake (let alone the stomp) are more than enough. Honestly, riding the scooter around feels a lot safer than I had expected—the only danger I really feel is if I were to go over a proper pothole, or other people hitting me.

Loving my gt se. Great communication from the minute I ordered the scooter, and it was received right on time well packed. Have put on maybe 10 miles so far, and very impressed with the speed and power. The suspension does a nice job, and I'm getting used to the sound of the solid wheels vs. air. Very happy with the purchase so far, and recommend ewheels! Thanks, Mark

Solid. Can’t get it above 20mph though. Folding catch on back wheel isn’t working properly/catching. Super portable though
