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

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 ....

tires have so little traction in rain that the electric brake locks up the front tire lol, so yeah this thing isn't meant as a daily scooter really, i only ride mine when its really nice weather outside

well the design has been kept the same since like 2012 when the first et-wow released

op said they don't really ride in the rain, if they dont, then it is perfect for them, the solid tires are fine as it has suspension

yeah i suppose, never had this issue but then again i put in insane amounts of effort to avoid any water when im riding that thing, would definitely not want to own it as my only vehicle

im like 55kg, my etwow gts does go up to 52kmh quite easily

Apart from the speed, the Etwow GT Sport fits this to a T. And it beats the weight criterion by a massive margin. With speed controls removed, it can even clock 28-30 mph on flats, and the ~50% reduction in weight at 29 lbs. more than makes up for the marginal speed compromise, IMO.

I always get mine as etwow from ewheels

I never use the e-brake on this. The drum brake is amazing and far better at precision stops. The sliding in slick consitions is definitely an issue though, but that's an edge use case, as you probably don't want to be getting wet to begin with.

Weight is the main factor in achieving last-mile commuting. I had the ETOW GT Sport; it was capable due to its speed-to-weight ratio. Then I found the AON Glide scooter; it is basically an upgrade to the UScooters/etwow build and performance level. It's just about 31 lbs, 25.5 max mph, better folding latch, wider safer folding bars. Stem/Bar light and headlight. Single brake lever for both drum and electronic braking. I added modded hammock straps as a shoulder strap to help navigate the subway stairs and elevator and escalator route underground, during rush hour madness. The after-sales support was amazing, they do care about your satisfaction with the product. Check out YouTube for insight.
