- This scooter goes stupid fast, and can go up hills no problems. Yeah, it can be unsafe but only if you're an idiot about it.
- Overall a very well-engineered product and exactly what you'd want in an electric scooter.
- This scooter hits the sweet spot of sturdiness, reliability, speed, weight and portability.
- I have gotten it multiple times up to a speed of 21mph on flat smooth surface roads. It takes a little distance to get to that point, but 0-15mph is reasonably quick.
- Slows down quite a bit going up medium slopes. Can be aided by pushing like a traditional
- I'm a big guy - 6'4 and 225 lbs - and this scooter gets up to speed just fine, and will haul me around for a good 12+ miles and reach a 17 mph cruising speed in less than a city block.
- It goes right up hills at around 20% incline at about 10 mph
- Motor is powerful enough, but it can not handle 25 degree slopes as it's stated in description. I'm 150lb and it can do 10 degree slopes reasonably fast
- High rolling deck, stable handlebars, and comfortable handlebar grips make this a sweet ride.
- The motor is brushless, so this is the most "maintenance free" you will ever get on planet earth today when it comes to electric vehicles of any kind.
- The accessory screw cover in the middle of the handlebars, the screw cover is plastic and broke instantly when I tried to remove it.
- The regenerative braking does in fact recharge the battery when it is engaged, further helping to prolong battery energy.
- At 25lbs, and with a nice, fat handlebar to grab on to, it's easy to carry around anywhere.
- Well built and seems like it will last.
- Hard to fold. The red release mechanism is quite, quite stiff, especially when the scooter is brand new.
- These brakes are not very good. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are rather abrupt, but worse than that, they cannot stop the scooter very well when at top speed
- Loud. Not the motor itself, which is very quiet/nearly silent, but the scooter itself. Especially on rough asphalt,
- It's lightweight, easy to carry and is excellent for community.
- Batter always has plenty to go and I pretty much ride at full throttle all the time.
- I get 10 miles per charge but good enough for daily commute.
- For what it’s worth. I had an M5 that I discharged all the way while riding it. The range was so bad and not in line with marketing that it didn’t get me all the way back – it died at a whopping 7 miles of careful/slow usage.
- In order to set the scooter to travel max speed, you have to disassemble the units deck and unplug some wires. Kind of a messy process if you ask me.
- Love how easy it is to get in and out of the house, compared to my bike.
- Integrated headlight, tail light, and brake light mean no additional components to turn on/off for dark conditions.
- It charges in a couple hours and takes up little room
- Normally my teeth would rattle from rolling over the expansion joints of the bridge but the built-in suspension of the E-twow dampened all that.
- Great battery range and quick charging time. I think I can get solid 15 miles out of it.
- The head light is OK for folks to see you, but it doesn't light up the road, at all
