What do you think of this 30 mph ultra-portable beast? Let us know in the comments below!
SEE 🛴2022 USCOOTERS GT SPORT🛴:geni.us/GTSport?track=yt
So which one would you recommend: Uscooter GT sport or fluid mosquito? They seem to have similar specs.
In the comments, there seems to be some confusion about the differences between the e-TWOW GT Sport / Uscooters GT Sport / Fluid Mosquito. I had the same confusion when I was trying to decide which to buy. This is what I learned: All three are made by e-TWOW. The e-TWOW GT Sport and Uscooters GT Sport are identical. The GT Sport has a 10.5Ah battery with Samsung cells, whereas the Mosquito has a smaller capacity battery (9.6Ah) with generic cells. I ended up buying the e-TWOW on amazon because I heard that the guy who handles their customer support there is excellent.
Enjoy your new scooter!
thanks, i got the same model. does your drum brake make a clicking sound when braking? trying to figure if this is normal or an issue, thanks
I am so glad I purchased this scooter. So far, so great. I live in NYC with a 12.8 or so mile commute to work. In 33 degree weather, climbing uphill and Manhattan bridge, I got to work with 30% battery left. Going about 14-18 miles an hour. The performance in this weather condition is amazing! Can’t wait to ride it during the summer months as I am confident for better performance. The portability and speed plus acceleration is key. Starting and stopping and quickly maneuvering around NYC traffic is so valuable with this scooter. I had the Hiboy pro 2 and the acceleration was so slow that I wouldn’t feel confident quickly bypassing vehicles or making a light to the next cross street in a pinch. The one thing I don’t like about the scooter is the horn. For city scooting, I believe the volume is too low where people can’t hear it as much as other scooters. Overall, super happy with the purchase and that’s thanks to you guys and your reviews.
Awesome! Glad you love it. -Vosk
I'm 265lbs (unverified) and absolutely love my GT Sport...I was big fan of the GT SE but the improved ride quality, speed and range makes this my go to city scooter and one that I reach for almost daily on dry days...solid review guys...love that water test you do...epic cinematography :) :)
Thank you Tim! -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Cheers Paul
Hi Tim. How did the GT Sport improve the ride quality of the GT SE? I owned the GT SE, but the acceleration was very jerky and abrupt; it was not smooth at all. Was this issue solved with the GT Sport? What else was improved with the GT Sport?
@@ryanangelo8392 i wonder the same... i think SE is still the better option!
@@ryanangelo8392 I just test drove the GT Sport and I can confirm they removed the jerky starting. It takes off more slowly and smoothly ramps up to top speed. It didn't jerk around when I touched the throttle.
Thanks for the review. I received my GT Sport a few days ago, and I'm really digging it! I'm 169 lbs, and I was able to get 21.5 mile range traveling 15-16 mph on L3 speed limiter and using its cruise control function (otherwise my thumb gets sore holding down the thumb throttle for too long). 15-16 mph is plenty fast for my needs, but I did get 28.5 mph top speed (maybe I could get your mentioned 30 mph once I test it on a smooth, long bikeway), but this speed seems so fast that I'd need to invest in self protective gear. The added torque seems to climb inclines quite well. The left regen braking feels very smooth, and the right hand brake adds plenty of stopping power. The 29 lb weight is a huge advantage for portability. The narrow handlebars still feel natural to me. I do feel bumps in the road with the solid tires, but it's not too bad with dual suspension, and I'd rather have this than having to change occasional flat tires. The deck is a bit smaller than other scooters, but it's still comfortable enough to position my size 11.5 M shoes. One thing I figured out that the manual seems to get wrong: You have to hold the "S" button AND power button for a few seconds to reset the trip mileage (is this the case with your controller?). I tried to install a Peak Design bicycle phone mount, but the design doesn't seem to facilitate left handlebar mounting, so I'm going to try their motorcycle mount, which is more expensive, but it has position adjustment and added shock absorption.
Overall, the GT Sport has been quite a satisfactory and worthy investment so far, and may your review and this comment help prospective users in their research into acquiring scooter joy!
Awesome! Enjoy your new scooter.
Just want to let you know that you've been very helpful to me throughout all your reviews. Amazing quality and you can tell you are passionate about what you're doing, keep it up!
Thanks so much for the kind words! We are thrilled that you like our content.
Without yall I wouldnt have purchased this scooter, (I let uscooters know as well) nor the hiboy last year, super useful and fun channel. I'll always watch your content. Keep up the superb work!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate it. -Vosk
One of the really cool and interesting things about emergent technologies like PEVs is seeing how quickly progress is made, specs improve, features are added and prices go down :) I don't own an e-scooter yet, but I'm very excited to see how far we've come along once I decide to jump into the market. Great review, as always!
I will probably get this to go along with last year's gt model that I have. The speed + lightness combo is great. Top speed less than 20mph and it doesn't feel safe to go in a car lane. Heavier than 30 lb and it's a pain to maneuver, might as well get an ebike. This is the sweet spot!
Awesome! Enjoy your scooter.
I absolutely love what they are doing with this scooter, simply the best in class by far, in terms of speed. I wish they had wider handle bars (with ability to fold) though that's my only gripe. Those narrow bars just don't give you the stability you need especially at 30mph. Other than that it's great in my opinion, love the 30mph top speed!
Exactly ! That exact scooter with wider handlebars would litterally be perfect ! (Except for range but thats a tradeoff we have to accept to get that light weight.)
Fantastic! Thanks for watching. We like this scooter also -Vosk
I have the older s+ model (350 watt motor) and the portability is fantastic at only 15cm wide when folded. Mine literally sits up alongside the wall underneath where we hang our coats and I just grab it to nip to the shops. The tyres are small and yes u do need to be wary with stones and bumps but the amount of sharp stuff I’ve ridden over including broken glass mind that I didn’t spot until was too late is the plus side here. I didn’t wish for the GT too much until the SE came out but I’m always wary of riding if there is any chance of rain so the ipx5 rating is a great addition. If u haven’t already got an ultra portable get this one it’s simple as that. I am however disappointed that etwow/Uscooters haven’t improved the lighting and attempted indicator functions. I also think that the foam filled tyre technology that Segway have used for their e-series scooters could really change the game for this scooter in terms of grip and comfort as Paul was really impressed when he reviewed it and reckoned 80% similarity to pneumatics. I’m also wondering if etwow would ever go there with a ten inch wheel version….🤔
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
E-TWOW (well UScooters, same thing) make probably one of the best 8 inch scooters.
I really miss my old E-TWOW Eco. What I liked about them is that they are basically Oxelo Town 7 susp kick scooters modified and re-designed with motors.
E-TWOW handles really good and suspension is much softer... compared to much heavier Ninebot ES2.
Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
E-twow. The kings of portability!
I had the Booster V back in 2018. It was a nice little scooter. Light weight, fast and well equipped for such a small design. But there were too many cons in my opinion. The handlebars were much too narrow. The small and narrow 8 inch solid wheels are dangerous on wet surfaces and bumpy roads. Front driven scooters in general can be death traps in case of sudden motor phase faults. If it happens, you'll fly over the handlebars. Anyway...a few month later, i sold the Booster V and bought a Tarsa T9 offroad aka "IO Hawk Exit Cross" over here in europe. Bigger, heavier and bulkier, but much more comfortable and safer. Wide 10 inch hybrid treaded tubed tires can handle almost everything and i feel safe in every situation. My daily commuter since over 2240 miles!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Scooters have come so far since we were children. When I was 10, (I’m 31 now) my dad got me a electric scooter that went about 17 mph. It lasted about a week. It was $300 when it fried my dad was soooo mad at me. Grounded me!! I was grounded due to poor technology. After showing him my wolf king gt, he understands now
Great story! Wolf king is a great scooter.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide it is indeed! My biggest fear was controller failure within the first 500 miles (ALL my scooters have done that) these are going strong 800 miles in
I having UScooters Booster V for over two years and half now, I'm actually considering to get this GT Sport.
That’s awesome! It’s a good scooter.
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I just received my GT Sport in orange on 9/20/22 to replace my old Booster V which had been used for almost 3 years due to motor failure, and admit it to say that this scooter is a BEAST!! The acceleration is very strong just because it has 200W more power than Booster V which has 500W, and it really go fast, but it also means that it will drain the battery more quickly and less mile range, so I set the speed limited to 16mph, it still pretty fast for me but hey safety first, and it get more mile range which is good for me.
All these scooters need is a handlebar extension and theyre perfect ! Going that fast with narrow handlebars takes away stability and confidence. Extending the handlebars wont add bulk because they would fold down and go along the stem nicely. Someone needs to do this !
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
That would be challenging to pull off - you would need to clamp/bolt extensions to the ends of the current bars, because the folding mechanism is integrated into the handlebar. The handlebars are already a bit wobbly because of the folding mechanism, so extending them would probably make that worse. A better option is probably to just have an option for a non-folding handlebar for people that don't care about folding and prefer the stability and extra space for mounting accessories that a fixed handlebar would provide. (There is currently only a single 2 cm space on one side of the handlebar that accessories can be mounted to.) Another option would be to spec a wider screw-type handlebar.
@@thevoiceofreason4104 good point, longer handlebars would make the mechanism as it stands weaker, but what about a reinforced mechanism through added support like a latch ? I think one of these companies should explore that possibility.
Hello, when will you guys be reviewing the p65 and the p100 from Segway.
Hopefully in the near future!
Great scooter and great Review 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Thanks for another very thorough review, Paul. I had a GT Sport for a few weeks before returning it and have a few questions I hope you can answer:
- Did you do your testing using the new controller?
- The claimed range for the GT Sport is 31 miles and you got around 14 miles in your test. Did you do your range test at full speed (28-30 MPH)? If not, can you test it that way so commuters can get a realistic idea what their range might be? (I was getting only around 9 miles range before the scooter became too slow to ride.)
- Were you able to maintain top speed/maximum acceleration until near the end of the battery life, or did acceleration drop off significantly at 40% battery life? Many of us who preordered saw a huge hit in acceleration after 40% battery, but I have read that the new controller has fixed this issue.
In your recent test of the NIU KQi3 Pro you said that the range test had been done at full throttle the whole time - except for stopping for red lights + stop signs - and that it maintained 90% of full speed up until the last 2 miles of the range test and then slowed significantly. Including that type of info in your reviews is very helpful for those of us using these scooters to commute at essentially flat out speeds, so we can tell what the true range is and whether the real world speed remains useable throughout most of the scooter's battery life. I realize it's a ****ton of work doing all of this testing, trying to maintain consistency, compiling data, doing script and shooting the videos, but you and a couple other good reviewers are the only reliable sources for this type of detailed info.
Thanks so much! Including “how the range test ended is something we’ve only recently added” and left it out of this video. We covered it a bit in the Mosquito video, which has nearly the same controller.
The GT sport we tested is the very latest version and while I wasn’t trying to do top speed, I didn’t feel any noticeable loss of speed until the last two miles.
I was hitting top speeds in the low 20’s throughout most of the range test, but also climbing a lot of hills.
On the 15 mph scooters we tend to run them flat out the whole time, because who wants to go slower than that. On the big 50mph scooters, we ride them at whatever speed feels reasonable on 25 to 35 mph speed limit roads.
For the GT Sport and Mosquito, we had to guess a bit, about how people would really ride them. To us, they feel the most comfortable to ride at 18 to 22 mph with occasional bursts to 25 - 30, so that’s how we ranged tested them.
I feel like the scooter doesn’t operate very efficiently at super high speed, and am not surprised at sun 10 miles of range at near the top speed.
This is one of very few scooters out there where I feel like the range is going to vary hugely depending on how it’s ridden. So I wish we could list 2 or three range test numbers for it. -Paul
czcams.com/video/lcQtRerru1k/video.html
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thanks for the clear explanation, Paul. It makes sense doing the real world range tests at the speeds you think people would typically ride a given scooter at. Unfortunately, there are almost too many variables involved when predicting real world range. Rider weight, terrain, speed, number of motors, ambient temperature, etc. conspire to make manufacturer range estimates look silly. Until we have a standard for manufacturers, consumers will keep having to assume real world range is only 50-60% of what the manufacturers claim. Given the relatively small size of the GT Sport's battery pack it may be asking too much to expect good range from a prolonged high speed run, but the real world testing makes me think that the 31 mile range being claimed in marketing was unusually optimistic.
You've become the reviewer that I trust the most on scooters and the attention to detail that you guys have in your videos is impressive. (I don't think people realize how much work it takes to put together a proper review.) Your industry experience also shows through in your reviews.
I ended up ordering the NIU KQi3 Pro on Amazon Prime Day based mainly on the review you did on it a few weeks ago. I received the scooter on Friday and everything you said about it is 100% correct. I was blown away by the quality of the scooter given its price. NIU reminds me of how Lexus started out: building cars that had the features of a Mercedes, but with much better quality and at a *much* better price. Perfect way to disrupt the market. The KQi3 is like a gateway drug and my experience with it this week has completely changed my expectations in terms of value that a scooter should offer. It will be interesting to see if other companies are able to respond to the gauntlet that NIU has thrown down. Their Amazon sales must be through the roof.
Just picked up the Fluid Mosquito, and its VERY fast carrying my 135-ish pounds. I love it, but the narrow solid tires and narrow handlebars make the highest speeds a bit unnerving, at least in the urban area I'm riding in. This being almost the same build and exceeding the Mosquito speed sounds spooky lol. The regen brakes are also super grabby, but maybe that will fade over time. I should check and see if I can adjust the intensity. The lower speed versions of this scooter might be better for some, just from a stability/safety standpoint.
That’s awesome! Enjoy toot scooter.
I also own the Fluid Mosquito. You can adjust the regen brakes in the settings (refer to the product manual). I also found the regen brakes to be too strong/sensitive, so I adjusted them in the settings, and now the braking is smoother and ideal for me.
would you suggest i buy the mosquito or the gt sport 2023?
@@ryanangelo8392

Thanks so much! We appreciate it.
Hey Paul, how do you find the enjoyment of riding a FWD scooter? Have not been able to enjoy them myself, though it could just be me.
Great question William!
I’m always so happy when someone brings this up, because I wonder if I’m the only one who notices the difference
That said, I don’t notice it that most of the time. The main time I notice is when I wheelie off of a curb and the front end feels heavy and dead.
The other time I’m aware of it is when riding in the rain, and front drive is using up some of the traction when cornering.
It doesn’t bother me so much on the ultra-compacts because I ride them more for transportation than for goofing around.
These scooters are definitely more utility focused than recreational. But you can still have some fun hopping up curbs because they’re so light.
-Paul
The small solid wheels on this are pretty dangerous, took a pretty bad tumble on the GT SE going pretty slow and on a very minor bump. The acceleration and breaking at low speeds are also very intense.
Thanks for sharing! Stay safe & take care.
Hey bud you gotta take ownership for that spill. You made a mistake riding it. Period.
@@razorraysolarsavings70 What is the point of your comment? I noted that the wheels on this are more prone to accidents than other scooters with larger air filled tires. What does taking ownership of the fall have anything to do with what I said?
I blame the rider lol
Can u please do a review on the mototec thor?
We will take a look thank you! -Vosk
I have this scooter and it's a beast. I am only 145 pounds and I hit 31 mph
Nice! Is it your first scooter, if not, what did you have before and how do they compare? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I also own a blue Tran lightning and I used to have an emove cruiser. I didn't like the suspension on the emove cruiser. Even tho the gts has solid tires at least for me it's more comfortable ride then the crusier. I have pmt tires on my bluetran and it feels like a cloud. Stock tires felt like solid tires in comparison lol
Did you verify top speed with gps? How long can you ride at the top speed for until it drops?
Used my dragy GPS performance meter. The place I tested wasn't that long. I held 31 mph for about a mile then I had to stop.
I’m also 145 pounds, what range are you getting? I’m thinking of getting one
I have 2 scooters in mind and would greatly appreciate your opinion. Apollo Air 2022 or Uscooter GT Sport 2022. Which would you recommend. I am 70kg male 170 cm tall. And how would these two fair In rain and light snow. Live in Ontario, Canada. Thanks
Have you looked at the Emove touring I think it’s better then both of these by far! 🔗geni.us/Touring

We will take a look! Thank You.
I had the original GT and I loved it so much that I just replaced it with the GT SE. I test drove the GT Sport and I liked it but it was $400 more than the GT SE and didn't end up getting it. But when it's time to replace the GT SE, I'll be getting the Sport.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.

How smooth is the acceleration? I've heard some reports that it's less smooth than some of the previous entries.
Very similar to other scooters in the line!
When are you going to review the nanrobot d4+ 3.0 ?
No plans currently but possibly in the future! -Vosk
What is the differences between the uscooter gt sport and the e-twow gt sport? Thanks

anyone understand how to use the cruise control? I've tried following the manual instructions but can't figure it out still
Please email uscooters and they will assist you with your request! Thanks
Here’s a question for the scooter guide? Top 3 scooters that most likely WONT get controller failure?
This is something that really can’t be predicted! Most scooters are not known for controller failures because on rare occasions it happens it gets fixed in the next batch or so! Thanks
I just got my GT Sport last week to use along my 2019 Booster GT. The higher speed is definitely nice as I hit 28 MPH GPS verified and I'm 215lbs. I know I am in the minority here, but I wish it didn't have a drum brake like my 2019 version. I never use it and with the e brake and foot brake I don't need it there. Overall, the scooter is very nice and does feel like a slight upgrade due to the higher speed, but I can already tell the max range will be 3-5 miles less due to the higher speed. I've had so many scooters over the years I lose count, but I always stick with the Etwow due to its portability as it allows me to run to the store and easily bring it inside which I definitely did not want to do with my Dualtron Thunder or even the Ninebot Max I had.
The portability is hard to give up! I think that’s why so many E-TWOW owners stay with them so long! Chuck had his for years and years and Chase (our GM did too. He might still have his)
Riding near top speed definitely pulls the range down fast! I like having the ability to go that fast, but still found myself keeping it to 20mph most of the time, since that’s where it felt most comfortable to ride. -Paul
How do you like it compared to the Ninebot?
@@johntesoriero3382 It's way more fun than the max. The suspension on it makes it fun to jump off curbs and such and the extra speed makes it way more fun. The max has a longer range, but obviously you can increase the range of the GT by a lot if you ride it slower.
@@logitech12345678910 what range do you usually get from it and what speed do you ride at?
Did u order off uscooter? And are u in the US
Would you say for hills a Unagi is the better way to go for a very light rider (100 lbs). I would like a faster scooter than my Unagi and more maintenance free tires. What would you recommend for an upgrade from the Unagi that can still handle hills well at my weight?
Both will not handle hills great to be honest! If it’s not a big hill you should be fine with the Unagi dual motor!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide what do you recommend for hills at my weight?
If you only weigh 100lbs then the GT Sport will fly up hills. I'm 215 lbs and the GT Sport is able to get me up hills pretty well. If you only weigh 100 lbs then the GTS will be a rocket.
UScooter’s GT Sport and Fluidfreeride’s Mosquito are basically identical? are they waterproof?
Both are IPX5 Water Rating! -Vosk
If I am still afraid of driving past 20mph in my GT SE (commute is through a one of the larger roads in NYC queens.) , is there a reason for someone like me to upgrade. Is the ride more stable or anything like that, or is it purely more power (which for me is not needed as I hardly ever go above 20mph)
Edit: I guess a better question is how much better than SE is it, outside of the higher speed.
Other then speed it’s similar!
As a fellow NYC GT SE owner who has scootered around 3,500 miles on various E-Twows/UScooters, I will say if you aren't comfy with anything 20 mph no there is probably no reason - that +6mph difference is really meaningful at that speed. If you're relatively new, you can honestly probably grow into that speed if you're talking about Queens Blvd 🙂
I'll be in NYC soon and purchased this instead of the GT due to the hill climbing ability - they noted 12.9 vs. 14.4 in this review.
Etwow makes a good product! They need to fix their naming scheme. My scooters' battery had been failing for some time and had to source a new one. I originally had thought it was a 36v Booster model, but when I opened it up there was a 33v 6.4ah battery! I was so pissed as I thought they had ripped me off especially with the price back then.
You might be confusing peak voltage vs nominal voltage.
Glad you got a new battery!
From what i take it the nominal is the "at rest" voltage of a battery and the peak voltage is the max voltage a battery can hold when fully charged. It was hard to find, but apparently there are 33v and 36v battery models from etwow on early versions of their scooters. The new battery i had put in is 36v and now the display is showing an E3 Error, overvoltage.
@@Larnsdoon No, peak voltage is # of cells x 4.2V, and nominal is # of cells x approx 3.65V (well somewhere in 3.6-3.7). The hand wavy reason for this is lithium sags to the nominal under load.
Nice little portable scooter. Not a fan of the small handle bars and display for that price though. I understand they are going for portability but still.
Thanks for your feedback! Appreciated.
Is there any differences in the 2023 model? Does it still have the 30mph top speed?
Should be very similar!
Where can i get 1? Uscooter says they selling pre stock offers
Just checked should be in stock and shipping from uscooters!
So should I get this or the E TWOW or the Fluid Mosquito?
Both are excellent options!
I got the GT sport, still works great. Light, fast and great range. well I hate the wheels, they are very slippery on painted bike lanes. The battery reading is useless and inaccurate. The regen brakes are super weak at high speed and too strong at low speed.
Insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
I’ve had 3 Uscooters in my life. They’re typically pretty reliable but on the last two they’ve completely shut down on me out of no where 6 months in. Also they’re customer service doesn’t respond. Overall great performance scooter while it turns on but buyers beware after a few months they might not turn on…
Thanks for the insights! -Vosk
I am currently experiencing what you did, 6 months, shut down out of no where, customer service is ignoring me, GT SE. It happens on long periods of regen braking like downhills or bridges, this is very scary. I do not agree with the reliability. I also GPS tested the speed and the scooter overreports by approximately 25%. So 20mph actual shows 25mph. There is something going on here, I think you guys need to revisit this scooter in 6 months.
Does the acceleration continuedly to work the same at 50% and 40% battery for you? I found my GTS dropped the acceleration by half at 50% and crawl at 40%, I found it unusable so I charge it instead of testing any lower than that.
It usually drops when battery drops!
I reported that to Scott in June. They apparently have now changed the controller and people that have had their original controller replaced are reporting that the acceleration is no longer dropping off dramatically.
@@thevoiceofreason4104 thanks! They just sent me a controller replacement for the breaking system hopefully it also has the added bonus of not slowing down the acceleration. Still need to find time and space to perform the replacement
@@byte1988 Good to hear! I hope it works out for you.
Is the 700w motor a peak number or a nominal spec?
Peak!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I appreciate the reply, I couldn't find it at their site.
This build is so similar to the Fluid Mosquito, for an extra $100, worth it for all the other features (eg app).
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
I've seen claims the Mosquito is simply a rebranded version of this... perhaps programmed slightly different to get that extra top speed (though the mosquito can be unlocked to go above 30) But in this test they mention the Mosquito does the hill test at 14.4 seconds vs. the GT Sport at 12.9. Hmm.
What is the tested range so less compared to the advertised one ?
The real world range is usually significantly less then the advertised range. -Vosk
gtsport.10.5ah. what ull get is maxes out at 40kmh, when fully charged, and to reach that it takes min.17s. then declines from that as it depletes. the marketing video version can have a faster controller.

I bought the 9.7 A battery version, do you think it will differ much from the 10.5 ?
Very small difference!

@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I was told the regen is much stronger and adjustable?
What’s the difference between this and the fluid mosquito?
Great question. They are very similar except: this one is 2 mph faster, has Samsung battery cells rather than generic cells. The GT costs about $100 more. It’s also a faster hill climber, but we got a little less range out of it, probably because the controllers are set up slightly more aggressively. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide , so 13.8 mi/charge with this GT Sport vs.16.6 mi/charge with the Mosquito-that's about 83% of the Mosquito's range... Are your tests based on maxing these 2 out speed-wise? I'm curious if the range leader is the same at all performance levels. Since the Samsung battery is technically bigger, would it come out on top if you were only pushing the speed around 15 mph? Or, in your expert opinion, are these sorts of range differences typically the same regardless of whether you're going a conservative speed or really fast?
There are a lot of copycats of Uscooters GT Sport. Like Fluid Freeride Mosquito, it is based on e-twow GT base frame coming presumably from China. There are 2 main issues with this type of scooters: not great fit for bumpy roads and speed drastically decreases when the battery capacity drops below 50%.
Both are made by E-TWOW, but to slightly different specs.
The during my range test, I was able to maintain speed and hill climbing ability until the end, but I was only trying to go 20 mph most of the time, because that’s the most comfortable speed to ride on one of these. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I have 8 miles to my beloved cinema which is too far for return, but I struck a deal with the staff - they allow me to recharge on their floor while I'm watching the movie. All I need is to pack the charger in a small urban backpack. That's zero costs and still faster than the car or public transport.
What about wet surfaces with this one?
We don’t recommend riding in wet conditions!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide thank you. I know you said it IN the video as well, but just wanted to have confirmation. 🙈
Is it just me or thinking of riding an ultralight scooter that can reach 30MPH scary and frightening.
It feels surprisingly ok. My preferred speed on these is 20, but more speed is handy if I want to make a left hand turn through traffic.
The important thing with all scooters is to always look way way ahead. Like three or 4 car lengths, at least. -Paul
Which would you say is a better scooter between this and the fluid mosquito?
Can you do a comparison video between both? I'm looking for one to be used as a commuter that has at least a weight capacity of 260 lbs or more and is around 30 pounds in weight.
I'm trying to decide between this one and the fluid mosquito.
The one thing I don't like about the fluid mosquito is you can't change the speed modes while riding it. You have to turn it off and change them when you turn it on. Is that the case with the UScooters GT sport?
They are very similar! Can’t go wrong with either! Thanks for watching.
I strongly suspect they are literally the same scooter, just with different battery packs. I don't have either yet but when comparing photos, they look exactly identical.
@@Edgemont-vj6lh For me I think the main thing I'm hoping is different on the UScooter is that you don't have to shut the scooter on and off to allow it to change speed modes like the fluid mosquito. Other than that yea they both almost the same.
The Fluid Mosquito is a collab-model if you will between Fluidfreeride & Etwow. On the surface, they're identical, BUT if you think about it from a business standpoint....ultimately, Etwow would likely keep some hardware and/or programming "tweeks" if you will as proprietary to keep the performance edge in their corner in order to keep their very own flagship brand and model ahead of ALL other brands in this ultra portable scooter class. Hence, I'm not at all surprised that ESG consistently pulled out a legit 30MPH TOP SPEED with the new UScooters GT SPORT(yet it's advertised at 28mph🤫). So, in my opinion, if you want the very best in the ultra-portable arena, THIS Badboy is THE ONE to get!
Is it normal for display temp to be 100f after 5 mins of riding ??? Im scared to ride it now
Please check the manual!
Mine gets up to like 150F all the time.
Vsett 8 + or Uscooter GT Sport or Emove Tourists? Can anyone give me input, please? Trouble-free is what I'm looking for, and able to go over 20 MPH
Uscooters for the win for least maintenance out of those 3! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Thank you. You and the Team do a great job on your reviews. They mean a lot to people out there, no doubt. Keep it up!
Wish I could love the scooter but the display is primitive for 1k. If they could have something like the NIU kqi they would have gotten me to buy it.
The funny thing is, the NIU display is also pretty simple and not super bright, but I agree, there is something very likable and modern about it. -Paul
Debating between this and the niu pro.
Both are excellent! If weight doesn’t matter I would go with the NIU! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide agree. I love the stability of the niu but the weight of the gtpro it’s really a tough one
Stop banging on about speed. The way this scooter is configured (I have an e-Twow 2020GT in the UK) with its short handlebars and relatively small wheels, it would be suicide for a lot of people to ride it at that speed. The main advantage of these ultra-portable, light scooters is that they have better power with consequent greater torque which can haul you up a hill fairly effortlessly. This is their greatest feat.
Portability is a very important part for sure! -Vosk
Git gud. I've ridden it at 28mph 4 days a week for months on smooth pavement. No accidents, no problems.
Not every country or town is the same as yours.
Lightweight is nice to have, but always comes with compromises such as small tires, smaller battery (13-mile range is just bad for $1100), small deck, not good brakes, expensive, etc. Not a fan of adjustable stem nor foldable handle bars, which often result in less rigidity. Did the video even mention the tire size? A quick search shows 7.5" but not 100% sure. That's crazy small for a $1100 scooter. For me portable is not the most important thing since I don't have to bring it up a building nor put it in a car nor even folding it. And this looks very similar to the Fluid Mosquito.
I agree! For the price they're asking, I rather get a Mantis for a little more or even a DT Spider or Victor Luxury. I'd only get this etow at $500, no more than that.
@@jessa.3857 $1099 vs $1800 (mantis price) is quite the difference my guy lol it’s not just a “little more”.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
They slowed down this scooter quite a bit. I have both the old version and the new 2023 version and the new one is a lot slower. The old one can keep up with my Apollo Explore, but the new one is a good 3 mph slower. You might want to retest this one. Also, the new rated specs on the website are slower.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
Im getting a 2022. Is that the faster one your are referring to?
@@stevenrivers8386 if it's the 26mph one, then yes, that's the slower one. The newest one is the slower one. I'm assuming that you're getting one direct from Uscooters. Is that correct? If so, then yes, you're getting the slower one.
@@TheAtomTwister Yea. Its the older 2022, I hear like you said the newest 2023 model is slow.
@@TheAtomTwister Im getting it from a small business scooter shop out west from where i live. They have always given amazing service and very fair prices. Always on the phone in a second if i have questions. And he stated what you did, that it will be the quicker sport.
I can’t decide between the GT Sport and the Mosquito. Anyone know the key differences or pros and cons between these two scooters?
Very similar! Can’t go wrong with either. -Vosk
Does it matter about height
the scooters or the riders? -Vosk
Does it have different power levels?
One power level!
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide So there is not a choice between high speed or economy just one speed of 30 mph? That does not seem safe to me...
@@UnityFromDiversitypressing the throttle won’t automatically bring you to the 30mph mark. You can simply cruise at 20 mph.
Is it ok to jump like that on the scooter? Won't it damage the vehicle?
We do not recommend that!
Idk why but when I go to the website it says 26 mph
I’m seeing the right number when I expand the stats on the ride search, but yeah, when I get to the article I see 15.5mph!
We’ve got some wires crossed. I reported it. Thank you so much for letting us know. -Paul
Shouldn't there be a slight safety problem. Or at least it's wear and tear problem when the scooter is light, but being force to a faster speed. Also I see that the handles are too close together where bad control for so much speed.
As a owner of various models since 2015 I can tell you the issue is not wear and tear but falls due to the small tyres (hitting a small stone with the back wheel can make you fall)
Yeah, the frames are very strong and the suspension protects the frame from stress. I agree that traction when cornering could be better, but I corner a lot harder than most on scooters. I get used to the narrow handlebars quickly whenever I get on one of these. But I’ve never been a fan of super wide bars. That said, I’m. Not sure why they are so narrow, since narrow bars doesn’t make the folded size any smaller. I suppose it’s so you can reach the controls. -Paul
Narrow handles do not reduce control as long as you keep both hands on them (I have both etwow and large handle ones such as Boosted Rev), but do not try to signal turning with narrow handles, it's too risky (not really safe with any scooter tbh). Narrow handles have advantages too, if you take your scooters into stores (and small ones are perfect for that) they will bother people much less, just like traditional kick scooters (some people can't tell the difference). Large handles ones are a pain, especially in crowded places
@@ryanangelo8392 I have done thousands of miles on them and the hold up.... In my areas roads are pretty good, but when I go in poor roads I take my Boosted Rev
You say the range is 13.8 but the webpage says 31. I don’t understand the large discrepancy.
It’s 13.8! Thank You
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Had you been through at least 3 charge cycles? The manual states you need that to approach full battery capacity.
Why so much in UK is £695 is about $845 US Dollars. I got mine for £595 by preordering, (lucky me), but your price should be less than $1099
This is very standard price for this scooter in the US!
What happened to the other host guy?
That was my same exact question.
Chuck and his wife had a baby. He’s full time Dadding these days. -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide well we hope to see him back soon! Thank you for the information
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Tell him not to get too lazy.
My biceps are so small though 😭
Scooter cross-fit is the only exercise I do! -Paul
Sadly, though the scooters are great. The Uscooter staff were very rude to me. Also their prices are way Too High. After weeks of delay I did find a better place to find parts needed after a 1000 miles of riding.
Sorry about your experience!
I purchased my GT Sport through e-TWOW on amazon. The guy who handles customer support there is very helpful. I broke the handlebar in an accident. At no cost to me, he sent me the part I needed, plus an instructional video on how to replace the part, and he patiently guided me through the repair.
Why do they make the displays so yuck?
Hopefully they will upgrade in the future.
Once you buy one they update the same model with a faster speed.🤧
The horn is 100% useless. You have to take your thumb off your regen brake to use it
Insightful! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
ayo
hope i win the giveaway
btw im first :)
Good luck!
30mph on this scooter feels like a death wish tbh
Yes the roads need to be very smooth for it to feel better at higher speeds.
I have owned my GT Sport for less than a year. It is a lemon. Last October, the manufacturer had to send me replacement parts. Now, it has malfunctioned again. Which means that I have had two instances of downtime in well under a year for this scooter that costs over $1000.
Sorry to hear that!
13.8 miles? Is that a joke? What use is there for a range so short?
Having fun around where you live and running errands as you can actual bring this scooter inside any store with you. That's what I use mine for.
With 13.8 miles of real world range it’s definitely a city scooter.
Make sure you’re not comparing it to the specified range of other scooters. Most scooters really cover about 60% of the specified “max” range.
On flat, smooth ground at 15 mph, it will go further for sure, but we ride them the way they’ll be ridden in real life. -Paul
14 miles is plenty for most cities
But that’s on max speed setting. If i had one, i would stick to 18mph, now range would be much better
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I would use it for commuting at like 15 mph. Which is pretty common. What kind of range would I get from that situation?
More like 27mph
We actually hit a legit 30MPH
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide Then why did you not show the speedometer in the video?
@@spootnik00 if we didn’t show the speedo it’s unintentional. Speedometers usually read a little high, so we tend to ignore speedometer readings in favor of data from our Pro-grade data logger (Vbox Sport). -Paul
