E-TWOW - Booster V

Etwow booster v is 25 lbs and does 25mph. Still the best for speed to weight and portability since handle bars are foldable and adjustable

Yes, but as far as I’m concerned, **weight is a spec**. You might not care about it, but it’s still a spec. If you buy a bike, you can easily pay twice as much just to save 1 kg, so I don’t see why it should be any different for a scooter. That’s why, in my opinion, it really deserves a super positive rating. Of course, someone else might prefer speed, power or other specs—but those can also be irrelevant depending on the use case. For example, what’s the point of extra power if you live in a country where the law limits you to 20 km/h, and in a flat city where there aren’t even any hills? The only Air real drawback, in my view, is that people who look for light weight usually also care about portability—for instance, if they take the train/metro and bring the scooter along. The Air is easy to carry, but in a crowded train it’s still bulky. Same thing if you go on holiday by car: it takes up a lot of space in the trunk. The situation could already improve a lot if they made a version with a foldable handlebar (that is very large). Let’s see what happens in version 2.

I actually own both the Air and an E-Twow. In every respect I find the Air better: comfort, safety, braking; plus it has a much stronger light which is really useful for riding at night, and the turn signals are a big help too. The E-Twow, however, has one huge drawback: the solid tires. Sure, they protect you from flats, but they slip on wet asphalt like a bar of soap. That said, the E-Twow does keep one real advantage: it’s much smaller (deck, wheels, but especially the foldable handlebar). Both are light enough to carry up to a third floor, so that’s not really an issue. But you really notice the size difference if you plan to use the train (or subway): you can put the E-Twow under a seat or in the luggage rack, while with the Air on a crowded subway… good luck. Same thing if you go to a restaurant – the E-Twow fits discreetly under a table. I’ve even taken it into places where scooters aren’t usually allowed, just by using its folding carrying bag: it looks like a sports bag, and nobody complains. Same story when traveling by car – the Air takes up the whole trunk. That’s why, after buying the Air, I didn’t sell the E-Twow. I use the Air 95% of the time, but that remaining 5% (when I need to take a train) I prefer the E-Twow… just hoping it doesn’t rain.

I had an E-Twow and the first scooter they sent me suddenly stopped working. They sent me a second scoorer (brand new), and that one also began having electric issues. The customer service is horrible and outsourced from a village in India (you can hear the damn roosters in the background when speaking to them)! I do not recommend this scooter for rain as the airless rubber tires will skid when you break, and you will have an accident, guaranteed.

2 Glions. 10+ years without repairs or any consumables. Fluid Mosquito or E-TwoW. 4 years and 2000 miles without repairs or any consumables. Front tire needs replacing soon. Original brake pads still brand new.  Dualtron Victor. 5 years. Flats all the time. No other repairs. I primarily exclusively use regen brakes on all my scooters.

Same boat as you. I just made a post asking for alternatives to e-twow. I have had two of those and my only complaint is low traction with wet surface. Looks like niu kqi air would be a better option for wet surfaces even though its power and max speed are lower
