GT
Origin
E-Twow is the brainchild of Romanian engineer Dr. Ing. Sorin Sirbu, who built what is widely credited as one of the first modern folding electric scooters back in 2013 - and, at ~9.8 kg, the lightest of its era. The company pioneered the front-wheel brushless hub motor and was among the first to fit an electromagnetic brake with KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) regeneration. E-Twow manufactures in China with a European administrative and logistics centre in Romania, and for years the same scooters were re-badged and sold in the US market under the Uscooters name. The GT line, launched around 2019 and refreshed as the GT SE in 2020, is E-Twow's flagship long-range ultraportable - the model that made 'a real commuter scooter you can carry up the stairs with one hand' the brand's signature.
Specifications
- Weight
- kg
- Brakes
- Front regenerative electromagnetic brake (KERS, recovers up to ~60% energy) + rear drum / fender friction brake; electronic thumb brake
The verdict
- Exceptional portability - one of the lightest scooters that still offers real range and dual suspension.
- Long real-world range for its size from the 504Wh Samsung battery, boosted by KERS regen.
- Zero flat-tyre maintenance thanks to solid airless tyres, plus a genuinely useful companion app on SE/Sport trims.
- Solid tyres transmit road buzz - ride is firm and less forgiving than pneumatic-tyred rivals.
- Single 500W front-drive motor is modest on power; steep hills and hard acceleration are limited.
- Small 8-inch wheels plus firm tyres make it less stable and comfortable on rough or cracked surfaces.
