Test it in person. I have friend who is 5'1" 90lbs ... and a 40lbs scooter is too much for the her. She ended up picking up a NIU KQi2 which was just a hair over 40lbs. Her bf picked up the ETWOW GT (specifically the fluidfreeride version) - and that was much more manageable in weight and size for her. She was more easily able to take it up her porch steps leading into her apartment as its both more compact (less unweildy) and way lighter. But its significantly less of a real scooter. They both hated it, especially handlebar ergonomics (they're short). I also have the ETWOW GT and a NIU KQI 100p (last year's FOTM budget scooter). And they are worlds apart in ease of carry. But the ETWOW GT Sport is.... full of compromises. It needs to be tested. If you need to haul it and lift it - reconsider or test carrying a scooter of that weight up and down your area. Its painful to swing it around - having it bang against the side of your body. And at nearly half your body weight - difficult to balance and maneuver. If its too much you'll end up using it less than you want. If its something you can roll straight out of your garage and never fold it - grab whatever you need. Also keep in mind that lighter scooters are easier to maneuver - you can lift the back or front end and turn it. While heavier scooters, you may see yourself doing K turns/multi point turns (off the scooter) just to turn it around.

You want an E-TWOW GT Sport. 30 lbs, 22 mile range, 30 mph, made for city commuting. I have one and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, I have over 5000 miles in just a couple years. Basically zero maintenance. It’s $799, but it’s well worth it.
They’re not for my size or use case. With that said, plenty of people want a light commuter. I would suggest some suspension on cobblestone. How long are we talking for the length of the cobblestone road? Is there another way around? But yeah the KQI air is a strong contender in the lightweight dept. The KQI 100p is significantly cheaper, has front suspension, and comes with a folding variant and they weigh in around 38lbs I would recommend the E-twow GT sport, but solid tires. I believe it has basic front and rear suspension. But again solid tires lol. It’s like 30lbs
I have the E-TWOW GT Sport and love it for the most part. For my daily commute (9 miles or less, 5 days a week), it serves me incredibly well. I use it to get from my parking space to class during the semester, and for a 8.8-mile to and from work. Here’s my honest breakdown after putting some miles on it: - Terrain: Light (and I really must stress LIGHT) off-roading is doable. It’s absolutely shit in inclement weather, though. - I weigh 135 lbs (61 kg), and my typical route is fairly hilly and often windy. On speed levels 3–5, I get roughly 10 miles of range. The majority of my route has almost zero traffic and very well-maintained roads, so I tend to go near max speed on those sections. Even in ideal conditions on mostly flat terrain, I can’t seem to squeeze out more than 12 miles. Because my commute is just under that, it’s not a dealbreaker for me. - Level 2 maxes out at 15 mph, which is perfect for when I head to class, take trail shortcuts, or need to navigate heavily trafficked areas without hotdogging it. Range is definitely optimal at level 2. - A lot of people complain about the narrow handlebars, but I have no issues with them (though I do have small hands). - Just a heads-up, UScooters customer service is... not great. If you have issues, anticipate some pushback, a massive lag in response time, or just straight-up ghosting.
Honestly the E-twow GT Sport became my holy grail and I've used it almost exclusively for the past 3 years. They are perfect balance of speed and being incredibly light and easy to foldup and carry. I do not mind the tradeoff of solid tires and a bumpier ride (im usually on-road anyway) to not deal with replacing flat tubes/tires. Would prefer them with air though for sure, plus their smaller than Id like but that comes with the small and light form factor
Etwow gts/x all the way. Put 6k km on aprevious model the 36v one, without ever having to do any maintenance. Yes that’s right not even having to tighten screws. Fabulous realiability. Onto the 48v samsung battery one nowadays, 40 km range with speed cap at 25. These boys are tank like built. Expensive but yiu get your money’s worth !
I dunno, I have the Air X and it's pretty good. Actually it climbs like the Etwow GTS. And I always turn and take a last look at it after parking, so that's gotta be something ....
