“I spent considerable time making my choice of an e-scooter. The Turbowheel Swift kept coming to the top of the list for what fit my needs best. Great price, especially given all the features. Love the solid wheel in the back. With the dual suspension it rides smoothly. Dual drum brakes are strong. Fold-up size and weight are perfect for storage or to take on trips/vacations. Color and style are wonderful. The LG battry is strong and the motor is just the right size. Plenty of speed, safety features, solidness, and range. Yes, there are bigger and more powerful e-scooters out there, but for me this one is just right. In fact, I wouldn't want one more powerful as this one goes plenty fast combined with a sense of stability. In fact, I personally wouldn't want to go any faster. On open areas I use the third power level, but the second power level is perfect for more congested areas. I did buy the better battery charger and plan to use it at 80% level to lengthen my battery life. With no flat rear tires a problem, a strong motor and quality battery, I'm set for an enjoyable time. Qualities of the Turbowheel Swift are strong build, power, battery, comfort, style and battery. No buyer remorse here . . . only smiles.”
“The Turbowheel Swift is a fantastic device. It has all the power and portability that I need to get to my destinations and it makes the journey more enjoyable. The Swift looks good and it is built well.”
“I’m loving my Swift. It’s fun and easy to ride, even for a new scooter rider like me. I’m in my 30s, about 195 lbs and I find it easy to control, powerful enough for my weight to maintain an average 20 mph on my commute while still hitting 23 mph occasionally, and the suspension comfortable compared to not having any. The scooter seems to be an excellent balance between price, range, performance, and options - it’s the total package. I highly recommend this scooter to anyone of any level who wants a great scooter without compromise. -AZnative84”
“This scooter is an amazing value for the price. It is not intended to compete with the Titan T9 and Titan T10 series of scooters (those are heavier and more expensive). It is also considerably better equipped than many of the other Titan T8 variants. For starts the front and rear drum brakes. Yes, disc brakes would have been nice, but that's what you'd find on the T10. I did have a few issues which Jason has been fantastic in getting addressed. If you're scooter shipped out of LA, it might not have the new trolley wheels in the box. I highly recommend getting the high speed 5A charger, despite it adding $100 extra in cost. It significantly reduces the charge time and allows you to set max charge to 80%/90%/100%. The fan does make some noise, but its a small price to pay for the convenience of a fast charge. The battery meter on the dashboard is not accurate; however, the voltage meter is and provides much more useful information to determine remaining range. Despite all of the reviews I've read (by Electric Scooter Guide i.e. Chuck Temple and ElectricFuture), I was able to obtain a longer range in Gear 3. I was able to obtain over 25.3 miles in Gear 3 and still had battery left, although, I didn't want to test its limits and have it automatically shutdown or do any damage to the battery. There might have been at least a mile or two left. Maybe three, but I wasn't willing to test it. Somewhat disappointingly, running it in Gear 2 and babying the throttle, I was only able to get about 30.4 miles. In this case I also didn't want to drain the battery too low. There was at least two miles left, if not a little more. Much of the range will depend on a users weight, the road surface, wind resistance, incline of the road and power applied to the motors. At about 150 lbs, I'm certain I am at the lighter end of the spectrum for this country. I think Chuck Temple said he was 165 lbs. ElectricFuture said he was 135 lbs. So I'm right in the middle and managed to get more range than ElectricFuture. This was tested with temperatures around 40 degrees F with heavy headwinds (about 75% of the journey). If it was warmer or if the air was calm, I could have probably got more. Both tests in Gear 2 and Gear 3 were with the battery charged to 100%. I don't plan to charge the battery to that point, but just did for this test to see what its maximum range is. The rides were done on relatively flat terrain with an increase of 325 feet of elevation gain over the 25 miles and 30 miles respectively. So, I gave this a good review, but didn't rate it "Very Good" because I wasn't able to maintain the top speed for very long. The most consistent speed I could obtain and only with the battery closer to full was 22 MPH. It would occasionally go to 23 MPH, but it wouldn't maintain it for more than a few seconds. I am lighter than the average rider and would have expected it to maintain 23 MPH for at least 2 or 3 miles. It goes down from 22 MPH as the battery declines. In Gear 2, the top speed is 19 MPH, but it stays closer to 18 MPH and will only fluctuate to 19 MPH for a few seconds at a time. In Gear 1, the top speed is 12 MPH and this is pretty much useless to ride in. I am a regular road bike rider and I don't think this scooter can handle the grades that I ride. Some of the steeper rides I do are between 17% and 20% and this thing struggled going over a pedestrian overpass. When I say struggled, I mean it dropped to as slow as 9 MPH in the top speed. I am convinced that if I took it on a 17% grade ride, it would probably slow to a few MPH and the battery probably would not last 25 miles or anything close to it. Probably something closer to 5 or 6 miles. In summary, based on its size (folded) and its top speed (higher than a Segway) and the fact that it operates at 48 Volts, this is a good and competent electric scooter. If you want something lighter (its really 40 lbs), I'd consider something from e-TWOW. Its also about 2 inches longer in its folder dimension that what was specific on the website.”
“I upgraded from a Xiaomi M365 to one of their new products, the swift.
I only went out on my first ride today. Compared to the M365 that I had before, the swift feels way more grown up. The M365 almost feels like a toy now. The build quality of the swift is impressive and feels like a real workhorse. Everything feels solid. But in a way, I miss the agility of the M365 cuz it’s way lighter. The swift has lots of power going uphill. I’m >85kg and going up the steepest hill was giving it hard time but doable. The top speed was a bit disappointing with my weight. I only managed to hit 31kph on flat. That’s a bit weird. I’ll try again tomorrow with full battery. And despite my weight, the improved shocks (over standard zero 8) work very well as promised. If u r heavy like me though and local law allows it, u may want to get the dart.
The handle that came with the scooter is great. But dolly is useless. Unless you are a midget or close to 5 feet, u have to pull it at a weird angle if u r to use the dolly. I actually took mine off.”
“Amazing scooter!! I’m an above average road cyclist whose put in thousands of miles through NYC. After receiving my scooter and going for a ride, never have I had so much fun surfing through the streets of Manhattan! This will be perfect for times cycling is not convenient for me which is most the time. I can’t wait to bring this to the beach with me, just throw it under the bus and race down the boardwalk! What used to be long walks to my favorite food spot or the 25 min walk to Home Depot is now a breeze. I can’t wait to see where this takes me!”
“I'm a big guy at 220ish plus luggage and this scooter gets me around no problem. For reference the max spd for me capped at 20mph which was more then enough for me. range seems pretty solid though I haven't bothered to measure that and the trolley wheels work as advertised once they sent me to fixed set through expedited shipping. Ewheels as a whole has been a great company to buy from and have responded to also inquiries quickly so I fully recommend the scooter and Ewheels”
“A few months ago after starting to commute into San Francisco, I decided to give an e-scooter a try and picked up a Segway Ninebot ES2. It made clear how useful and fun this category is but upon it's first warranty ship back, I decided I needed something stronger and more long term durable. I'm 5'8" and 220lbs with my pack so I shopped around quite a bit.
I settled on the Swift after looking at quite a few other scooters - most of which were $100-$300 more expensive. I have to carry this onto Caltrain so weight of the unit really mattered and it's among the lightest in it's class. The extra ~10lbs of more mass over the ES2 is noticeable but doesn't seem like it's going to change how easy it actually is to carry up onto the train or across my high rise lobby.
This scooter is much quicker and much more able to bring me up significant hills than the ES2 ever could. In gear 2 it maintains 18-19mph on flat ground and when it's working hard to haul up a hill it's only down to about 15mph. Gear 3 tops out at 21-22mph on flat ground. I also think if you weigh less, you're going to get slightly higher speeds - especially uphill.
I also went with the Swift over the Dart because I'd read other reviews that the Dart suspension was a little too soft to handle riders at it's maximum capacity. I certainly made the right call there as the Swift has good suspension travel while I'm on board. I'd bet the Dart would be a bit softer on the really rough road areas, but the front pneumatic tire and the strong rear suspension make it way less bone/teeth chattering that the ES2 in the same spots. It is really superior when you want to hop a pothole or burb edge as it comes up and lands very gently and intuitively.
Also, eWheels treated me very well through the process. I had a couple of questions about the Swift versus Dart decision and then a query or two about the newly modified trolley wheels - the modification is excellent - and eWheels has been responsive and easy to deal with.
I'm a very happy Swift owner. I've put the Swift through all of it's paces except the final try of a commute. What I can also add about commuting with it is that it folds up into a considerably smaller package than the ES2 and thus it fits in my trunk much more easily and I expect that to make it even easier to store in the on train luggage racks.
I highly recommend it and don't think I could have gotten anything more by spending more than what the Swift cost because portable weight mattered so strongly in my needs.”
