@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide your site is SO excellent. Went down a major e scooter wormhole picking one this past weekend and your site and reviews were the deciding factor on my choice ❤️
Got the 2019 model of this last week for £349 British pounds Black Friday deal but it came with the silicon deck and the safety catch for the folding mechanism so it’s been facelifted since this review. Fantastic scooter for someone new to them like me, low maintenance portable and fast enough.
Don't need room for large feet if people stand like you do on a skateboard, which in my opinion is the correct way to stand in order to be able to have a better ability to see what's coming behind you.
David Vosk Uscooter Booster Gt Vs Unagi Model one, I’ll only be going 15mph. I have a few hills on my commute but at max I’ll be going 5 miles in a day and weight 100 kg.Which would be better, I’m seriously struggling on choosing. Unagi has better breaking but uscooter has suspension and shock absorbers and better build quality?
Definitely a place for this one in the market, especially after seeing the miles the owner put on his (photo from you Facebook post). Looks like it's got a nice top speed for an ultra portable scooter. Loght weight without a doubt... Definitely not my style but again I could easily see owning one of these if I needed a portable or ultraportable ride. Thanks again for the Trunk Test and the Drop Test, my passed the drop test this week, need an extension for my kickstand! Great review and great Live Chat (as usual)
Love the new format with all the graphs n stats on screen -2 important things from an owner of an og Uscooter - 1) you guys really need to help other scooter buyers and remind them/show them that part of mastering this type of scooter (or any scooter ) is learning to drop your foot down onto the street as a third and highly effective skid brake -you can stop almost immediately or do a controlled slide stops based on your foot to ground pressure (skateboarders use this method all the time) 2) blending push steps in w/ actual motor power will help minimize your battery drain on hills otherwise those hills will destroy your battery -ALSO the regen capacity on my regen brakes wore out after a couple years -but still these are the best first time scooter !!
Thanks for the great review! I live on a sailboat, anchored off Key West, and I've decided to get this scooter. I have to load/unload it into my dingy when going to and from my sloop, and I'll be charging it with Sedna's solar power.
Scooter shopping in Maine. I know of no merchants even selling scooters. Maybe a Walmart. There are so many models and brands on line shopping is the Wild West oart 2. Take your best shot and hoe like Hell you guessed right. I settled on a Hiboy S2 Pro with a 500W motor because my town is kinda hilly and my parents/sister live in the next town over or an 8 mile oneway trip. So it's stated 25 mile range might cover the 16 miles round trip. At 36 lbs it's not the lightest but it has 10 inch solid tires and some suspension. It was at time of purchase the best compromise I could find. Still don't know if i made the right choice as I keep finding other models. Still I do like the Hiboy just wish I had a fuller picture of what the market offers in total at time of purchase.
You did not mention what speed you were doing to reach your average mileage. Speed is not the only thing commuters look for, it's in depth range test. Please state this in description for us commuters who need to get to work at a longer distance. For example, dose the scooter have a medium speed mode which can increase the range to 22miles?
If you live in the city or an apt, the small portable size scooters are the only way to go. This looks like good bang for the buck. It must be made from the same molds as my Zoom Stryder; it looks so similar.
I hope in the succeeding videos there is a kph conversion as there are subscribers in many foreign countries follow u. Ita hard to always think of the conversion from mph or miles.
Have you tested the GT 2020 yet? That would be a fair comparison to the Unagi or any other sub 30lb scooter that costs < $1500. It has substantially higher performance and range too!
Hard to beat my Xiaomi M365 Pro with upgrades: hydraulic rear brakes, front 10-inch tire pneumatic in front, solid 8.5 inch tire behind, firmware to go 32+ kph, range of 40 kms for a total cost of $600.
My scooter weighs 90 lbs and I do carry it upstairs but it's worth it for me cause it's smokin' fast (and better range) and comfortable cushy ride over rough roads 😁
The doormen where I work would not be too pleased if I tried stuffing a 90 pound scooter into the elevator, but the e-twow is so small / inconspicuous, I have no trouble getting it into the building. I say - have one of each - fast and comfy and small / convenient.
Zero 9 is much better value for the price. The only cons I can see are the price (730€ AliExpress) and weight (19Kg). Check out Kugoo models. They are by far the most popular solution to Etwow ones. Build quality is not that high but for roughly 300€ it offers a lot for that low price.
Get a Zero 8 for the same price($800). Zero 8 has bigger deck,better range and braking,and better ,wider handlebar and nicer suspension and lights. It's heavier by 12 lbs. but still a better buy. IMHO.
This is a great question. One of ours has a flat spotted rear tire which is driving me nuts. There is no adjustment for the front suspension, but it's already pretty firm. A little grease on the hexagonal shaft would help the front work better. The rear is a bit soft, but you can't tighten the nut on the spring any further, to increase pre-load. It feels bottomed out already. You could potentially disassemble the spring and add a shim to increase preload, but depending on how much preload is already on the spring, it may be diffifcult to get the nut started on the shaft once a shim is added. Always be very careful when removing springs, as they can be dangerous, if there is still pre-load left in the spring, when you reach the end of the threads and the nut comes off. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide can prolly buy a diff shock that fits. If front shock is not adjustable thats nor good cuz when it shows age n wear u cant tune it. It will give a spongy ride eventually. Not a fan of solid Tires for riding on urban streets due to alot of shock n vibration even with suspension. Also solid Tires wear n replacing the tire is prolly $$ n a fight to get old one off n new one on
Thanks for the overview. This seems a bit pricey for what it is. The guy on your live stream was touting how great and revolutionary it is however I don't see it. Where is the innovation here? I used to ride a Xooter (push) scooter around campus and the telescoping handle bar clamps are problematic. They fail either by slipping or the clamp cracks entirely. Traveling at speed this could be dangerous. (The engineer should design something better) Also at 25mph a disc brake is a must in my opinion. (I know it adds weight but safety right) Lastly, while it's nice the handlebars fold inward for portability they seem to short to be very stable when riding. Of course I am just speculating since I haven't test rode one but at 6'1" and can't image that to be comfortable. On the plus side they kept it light and portable I guess... Well, I have been watching reviews for months trying to find the ideal scooter for me and so far the Mercane Widewheel Pro fits most of what I am looking for. Keep the great reviews coming! Cheers, Greg
Greg Allen I have one at 6ft and 85kg. It is very good for commuting and frighteningly fast. I do agree though that a disc break would be useful. I understand the next model will have one and there is a fix you can retrofit.
I have this scooter and it’s a very bumpy almost unbearable ride thanks to the solid tires 🤦🏻♀️ but great battery life, lightweight, and fast. It’s fun for smooth roads.
I can see I’m not the only one who thinks a definite con is price. Ninbot Max and a $100 change would suggest that this is way overpriced. Irrespective of portability. Having said that, very informative review as always.
Now Made in China stuff are not like it used to be... Before Chinese products had a bad name... now the majority of their products surfing the internet like this and other scooters are amazingly high quality.
But about 20lbs heavier. I’m weigh about 125lbs and something like may be ideal for me since I plan to lug this around when I’m out. There isn’t many competitors that has this balance of portability, range and speed.
@@gazzasmyff2391 on Ebay it's called kugoo S2 it goes just over 22 mph hour and my weight is 107 kilos. It's the same as that model but the name is different. Pure scooter wants £450 for this scooter but its name is stryder. Plus the kugoo as a colour speed monitor.
Nice package but just like the Unagi, too expensive. Why would I pay $900 for this when I can pay $99 more and get a 1200 watt Kaabo Skywalker? Even at the higher weight.
Will leave you stranded, controllers are all faulty. the machine breaks down often when you need it most and the company cannot repair these things and offer no warranty for the scooter, only parts, it will break down, it's a piece of garbage. I was triceked into buyin g an Eco which died after 1500 miles and then told bny the company to byuy the V. that died 3 times within the first year and had to send it back to the company 3 times on my dime. each time i got it back it died within 100 miles. Dont waste your money ort listen to these nonsense reviews. these guys are reviewing a brand new scooter, see ifg you can find a review from someone who has one with over 25000 miles, they dont exist. because they die way before that. dont waste your money!
guess what, these things break and stop working often. When they break, you have no service options except to ship them back to the company located in california on your dime plus repair costs. My first etwow cost 1000$, i got 1500 miles out of it then it died, the company convinced me to upgrade to a booster v and gave me a discount, another $1000. that one died after 1800 miles, I had to send it back 3 separate times to have it serviced and repaired. It still doesn't work right. All the parts are faulty, the controllers are garbage and made in china, they break often from my experience. I would never buy anything from uscooter / etwow again. Total garbage. Great when and if it works but IMO, too expensive for a disposable scooter. you have been warned. These reviews are nonsense, let's see a review from someone who has traveled over 3000 miles on one of these, you wont find any because they don't exist.
🤦🏾♂️This range is terrible, I knew it once I saw the size. It’s unacceptable because when they give a range it’s usually under ideal conditions, so this scooter is probably going to give you 6 miles with normal conditions
you need to do do a video on Scooter stance chuck... NO T BRAKE stance with your foot popping out the side... gumby stance is what you do esp with this scooter..

I personally like the normal brakes than thumb brakes but this scooter is so portable, it's amazing.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Better get a kugoo S1, paid 235euros for mine just 2 weeks ago. Really affordable/portable , max speed is 19mph which is okay. Range is 12-19miles
Why wasn't the glion dolly included in the range test?? Also, does it roll when folded? I don't want to pick it up all the time as a small girl.
Another great review! Thank you everyone at esg!
Great review!

That looks super cool😎
What the difference between the Booster Sport vs. E-Twow GT ???
this channel is so under-appreciated compared to the quality of the videos.
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way Hopefully faster
Have you tested the GT 2020 yet? That would be a fair comparison to the Unagi or any other sub 30lb scooter that costs < $1500. It has substantially higher performance and range too!
how is this in rain and snow? any place to put/hang bags of groceries?
Hard to beat my Xiaomi M365 Pro with upgrades: hydraulic rear brakes, front 10-inch tire pneumatic in front, solid 8.5 inch tire behind, firmware to go 32+ kph, range of 40 kms for a total cost of $600.
How much more will you spend upgrading
$900.00 is affordable???
Overpriced ! Its another rebranded china made generic electric scooter painted a different color with another fancy name and high price tag
@@MrRippinonyou Do you know the chinese brand? Manufacturer? Link?
@@MrRippinonyou they are Romanian (etwow)
Id rather save for the emove cruiser
Horizon has more than double this range and is roughly the same top speed and costs less
I have made a video for the factory settings! Of the etwow scooter!
I am currently Comparing: This vs. Nanbot Max vs. Turbo Wheel Swift ???
Where is Glion Dolly 215 data on range bar graph?
Are the tires for Booster Sport changeable? Can they be replaced with pneumatic tires?
Hi Chuck, thanks for the great review; what is the best lightweight dual motor scooter out there?
This thing is almost as small as the kick scooter I had when I was little lol
Can you link the ULock used???

What would you recommend between this model and Myway Inokim Light 2?
Both models are relatively outdated in this current market!
Did y'all do a review on the dolly? I can't seem to find it
I personally reviewed the older model (pre-suspension) electric-scooter.guide/reviews/glion-dolly-review/
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide
Dolly 215 to 225 model (8/2019):
+ rear taillight
+ rear friction fender stomp emergency brake
+ front suspension spring
Your definition of affordable and my definition of Affordable are clearly not the same.
Tires replaceable? Any vids on how its done? Can front suspension be adjusted if it gets saggy or softer over time?
This is a great question. One of ours has a flat spotted rear tire which is driving me nuts.

What better hiboy s2 pro or I scooter ?
Please review the Bolzzen atom pro e scooter.......Thx
What size are those tires?!
My nanbot d3 is very annoying when letting off the throttle
Question: does it coast when you let off the throttle or does it cause the motor to slow down.
ya, and is there a name for that. I'd like it to coast too.
You mean cruise control
Which if any is suitable for a 320 pound person to go up hills? please.
Do you have to buy the charger separately or is it included? So confused!
Charger comes with it

I'm so confused why is it faster than it's more expensive brother
It's a modified Zoom Stryder Ex
$900 affordable????????!!!!!!!! I'ld like to try out what you smoking.
You get what you pay for
DaBinChe Well. At the same time people pay $1000 for their new smart phones.
$900 is affordable if you’re taking home 50k + a year. But another great review scooter dude!
I sold this and bought a Tesla
I have this scooter and it’s a very bumpy almost unbearable ride thanks to the solid tires 🤦🏻♀️ but great battery life, lightweight, and fast. It’s fun for smooth roads.
The U-lock looks bigger than the scooter lol
Suggest me, 1- dual soft suspension, 2- normal light weight, 3- wide steering. 25 Mp speed, easy folding, 3 hour charge time. under $700
Not many scooters with that criteria
that looks exactly like the kugoo s1
I can see I’m not the only one who thinks a definite con is price. Ninbot Max and a $100 change would suggest that this is way overpriced. Irrespective of portability. Having said that, very informative review as always.
go for a kagoo s1 pro, they are like $400 on amazon, literally the same thing.
It's not modified at all it is a Zoom Stryder..lol double the price..jeez
The real question is can I take it on a plane? 😬
Now Made in China stuff are not like it used to be... Before Chinese products had a bad name... now the majority of their products surfing the internet like this and other scooters are amazingly high quality.
people living in the past
Is 800 dollars affordable
Electric scooter prices
Gas prices are worse!
Definitely not affordable in so many households. The Glion Dolly is more in line price wise
Nice scooter but worth maybe $500 For this money Kaabo Skywalker 10H is obvious choice... ;)

Solid tires reduce your top speed
Solid tires reduce rolling resistance though, so better top speed

Photos By Sheron It’s about right. I do 5 miles and have about 50% left on my commute.
I think it’s pretty accurate. I have over 60-80% left after my 8-mile commute. I’m pretty light though and don’t go at top speed.
I've done 15 miles on mine in one trip and I'm fat.
*900$ but the range is a NO for me*
mph without km/h? Bye and till never
definitely don't ride this scooter on wet surface.

you need to do do a video on Scooter stance chuck... NO T BRAKE stance with your foot popping out the side... gumby stance is what you do esp with this scooter..
