Great review Tim you do a great job. I have owned both models for awhile now and for daily commuting they both offer great portability when I get on the train. In the under 30 lb. category there really is nothing with more power and speed that can compare. The cruise control option on the Booster V is also really nice for my longer commutes. The only other thing I would add is that both the V and GT have a rear friction fender brake for emergency stops.
Tim I Finally did a 100% to 0% range test of the booster V and thought I’d post my results here for subscribers interested in this model. It was 80 degrees, mixed topography (mostly flat, though) avg speed was 12mph. I’m 190lbs. I got 17.2 miles which is pretty awesome. Cheers🍻
@@TimsElectric I don’t mind at all:) Near Lexington, Ky. After over 200 miles on both my Booster V’s (I have 2) I can also attest that after the battery gets to roughly 50% the power/torque drop off is noticeable but not by a huge margin. Also, from 50% to 0% will not get you the same mileage as going from 100% to 50% . This is true of all the scooters I’ve ridden, though. I have a Zero8X but find that I ride the Booster V much more based on the fact that I can load it into my car Much more easily and carry it into restaurants as it’s just so dang light weight and portable! Cheers🍻
@Brent Ferrell thanks so much!!!! I hear you on the portability ...they're so dang handy....I was late for dinner tonight (my wife left without me..so I knew I was in trouble...I was out photographing another scooter lol) anyway, I knew I needed to get there fast and so I grabbed the Booster V, arrived as she arrived (walking) and quietly tucked in a corner in the restaurant ...so easy :)
Man love this video and scooter, just ordered one this morning as well; definitely a grocery store runner, folds up so compact, 24lbs right into the shopping cart. LOVE your passion for this stuff, I am addicted. Keep making new videos man, I can't wait to watch them.
Love the brake lever on this. This is a great scooter like it’s big brother - the regen braking is remarkable. If you go down hills when not in a rush apply the brake and get more battery life
I have a e twow booster from 2017 so like 5 years. Did 3700 km /2300 miles. Never had an issue. Last week i changed my tyres as they weere getting worn out. Other than that, nothing. Ah and i still have that little cap that covers the charging port.
I opted for the s+ or booster sport with the 350 watt motor as it was on offer for £350 reduced from £545 as it was a late 2020 model. I’m 84kg so The extra power and range would be welcome but I only do short half mile or so trips so the Uscooters (etwow) scooters are great, so portable and it’s amazing how handlebars so thin don’t make you feel unbalanced at all. The V has the same motor as the GT at 500 watt so breaking should be better than my s+. Great review Tim, I think u really May use your Uscooters more than any others! Etwow have changed the line up now, not sure when u will see them in the US with the Uscooters branding but it’s very confusing! There is like 5 models, they should just stick to the S+, V and GT.
Seems like you got a great price on it :) You're right about the handle bars...you just get used to it :) I'm loving both of mine and I know my wife loves them too :) Cheers
Hey Tim, great video!! How is the booster compared to the GT in terms of take off. is it just as fast? im considering the booster because of the GT's price, but i love the GT's take off and speed at 25 for how small it is! Thanks!
Awesome question @spikesvideos, they're the same exact size (within an inch) ...the difference is the GT has a larger battery a manual brake as well as regen. The Booster only regen...they're both quick. I use the GT as I'm quite heavy and the extra power helps...although I could easily use the Booster V
Tim my main Scooter-Man! I ordered one for myself, I love how this will fit in the hatch of me 2018 Nissan Leaf EV. The one question I have is how were you going backwards up the ramp, I assume it doesn't have reverse LOL
Tim….killer video! I’m buying it most likely but have a question ……I’m 190lbs and commute is 5mi one way. No hills. Would this get me the 10mi round trip? Thanks for your content ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎
Hi Brent, I would go for the Usctooer GT SE over the Booster V as it does have a bit of a larger battery...still light but also a bit more powerful. As to the range...can you charge where you're going? So ride 5miles and then charge? If so then no problem...it might be tight there and back without a boost/charge....You are a lot lighter than I am so you might be ok...sorry I don't know...Personally I would be fine with 3-4 Miles one way....but not sure it would make 10 miles...especially if there were hills or a head wind :) hope this helps :)
hi bro there is a black button on the right side of the scooter at the folding system do you know if that related to the folding security or so? thank you in advance
Hey Timothy I’m trying to decide between this one and the GT SE. I’m going to use mine for going door to door. I currently use a Segway mini pro and love that I can go very slowly when I’m trying to choose my next door to knock but my neck starts to hurt after a while due to the self balancing mechanism not always keeping my feet parallel to the ground. Question is, which model moves more controlled at lower speed, 5 to 8 mph? Also can you restrict the speed like on the GT SE. I think the Booster V looks better and I like that it is lighter. When you are working and it’s hot you feel a 5 pound difference. Also I weigh 183 pounds at speeds under 12 mph do you think I can get an 18 mile range? Thank you
that's a terrific question. I'm not really sure how far you'll get on the GT SE (which is the one I would choose if I were you) I haven't done a range test...I'm a lot bigger than you are (255lbs) but for me I wouldn't risk a trip of more than 10 miles. It is a bit bigger but it has a larger motor, higher voltage and bigger battery. I also like having the extra manual brake...just in case :) Hope this helps :) Cheers Tim
@@KellyPaet Uscooters don’t sell that per say. I think it’s something etwow Spain did as a mod. Not sure if they sell it. Seen it on UA-cam tho, looks crazy, they should make it as an official scooter.
The only problem I find with this is although you can fold it so well let’s say ur late for your train it will take you a bit longer than other scooters to fold
which scooter have you tried that is faster to fold and easy to carry @ashtoncollins8078 ? I honestly haven't found any that are easier ...maybe the Niu but the Uscooter is so much lighter
@@TimsElectric xiaomi but the only problem is that it’s heavier I’m trying to find any problem with this because there’s not rlly any 😂it’s such a great scooter I have the booster gt and 2 s+
@@TimsElectric Im in the US and scooters are definitely making a showing here. In Texas, not alot of the cities are bike friendly and a scooter like this makes it possible to keep up with light traffic on the street. With gas prices increasing and the weather being brutally hot, its getting increasingly popular here locally. I usually drive but will consider using higher powered portable scooters on occasions or emergency. Ultra portable is the key for mass adoption. Have you tried the Fluid Mosquito? Its design is almost like the booster v except has a bit more speed to it and around the same price.
@John Van thanks for sharing your experience down in Texas :) I haven't tried the Mosquito ...they don't reply to emails lol...my channel isn't big enough I guess :) As to the comparison, I see it's the same as the Uscooter GT Sport...but has Chinese batteries instead of the LGs in the Uscooter.

When it goes to 0% does this become a regular scooter or is it going to be hard rolling it without electricity? Does scooter loses % daily overnight?

Hi Tim, does the booster V come with a kickstand? I don’t see it on the image on the uscooter website.
they both do :) GT SE and Booster V...small but they work great :)
I think the american version doesn't come with a kickstand, I just bought one so we'll see.
@@anthonybeltrez did yours end up coming with kickstand?

Awesome question...I think so...but I don't know...I've never touched it lol @mikeusa9557
Hey would you know why my booster v doesn’t go above 30kph ?
It might be weight, cold, does it matter? I love 30 as a cruising speed :)

Tim do you think this would be OK when it’s raining/wet?
light rain maybe...but I typically avoid the rain on any scooter...personal preference :)
Can you compare this scooter vs the Apollo Air Pro? 🛴🛴
great idea..I haven't seen an Air but these are amazing :) highly recommend :)
How much range do you get on your Zero 9? And also, when you tried out the Zero 10, how much range did you get on that?
On my zero 9 I would get about 16 kms max, 10 miles but didn't do a range test on the Zero 10 which does have a bigger battery :)
It's very low clearance. Do you know how inch off ground?
I just measured it for you :)
about 1.5"....which makes it super easy for balance and turns :)
@@TimsElectric Thank you very much. I like the scooter portability, but the clearance is concern.
@@ptaing8 why? Speed bumps?
does is have cruise control?
Not on this model. :)
Got you up the ramp, but not the hill of death...? Yes?
lol, yes, no chance up the hill of death ...unless you weigh the same as Melissa :)
Can you review the Etwow dual gt se.. thank you… Godbless🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dual motors are only aftermarket and nothing to do with ETWOW.
