Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
Glad to see you again I hope you are safe and sound there, meantime its almost summer
season outside what a beautiful weather for a good review.
Today we are going to make a battle of the cheapest electric scooters from aliexpress.
We found the most interesting models with affordable prices and decent features.
And now we finally got all of them, so we are ready for the battle!
We’ll check their speed and range and if they are handy for everyday use.
So get comfortable my friends and lets have a closer look to each scooter.
The Classic scooter Ko-wheel with an electric motor 300 watts power and lithium battery
36 volts an 7.8 AH capacity.
There is an appropriate manual in English, it’s a good sign I should say.
The scooter is made of aluminum, the build quality seems to be all right.
It has a classic foldable frame like on many other scooters.
The handlebar is also foldable and its height is adjustable.
There is a grip cover on the platform and a durable step.
The rear wheel is made of a rubber – it’s a non pneumatic tire.
The front wheel is a solid tire.
There is no any suspension at the both wheels.
The display is bright it shows battery status and a current speed.
Besides this scooter has many lights of a various colors, and you can choose one from
your smartphone.
Lets weigh it.
As you see it weight slightly more than 12 kilos.
The next one and you may think it’s a popular Xiaomi Mijia scooter, but its not.
It looks absolutely alike, I think in fact it’s the same scooter but its sold under
another name.
Its called Superteef ew6, it has 300 watts motor and lithium battery 7.8 AH capacity
and 36 volts power.
First of all we didn’t find any manual in the box, but the scooter is very simple.
It is very easy to fold and unfold it, the locking system works fine.
Then it doesn’t have a height adjustment of the handlebar, that’s no good.
On the other hand it’s the only scooter that has a real disk brake.
The other scooters have only electric brake.
There is a rubber cover on the platform, it may be slippery in wet weather, but its easy
to wash it.
The rear wheel is solid, the front one is pneumatic – the only pneumatic wheel we
have today in the review.
The display is bright, there is a battery indicator and speed.
The lights are decent and there is a brake signal.
And finally the weight is slightly less than 12 kilos.
And another quite interesting model.
Its called ETGO.
Its not so powerful it has 200 watts motor and 4.4 AH capacity battery 24 volts.
But its is rather interesting how it is folded.
It is so compact like a handbag the length is only about 60 cm.
Firslty It has a manual in English – nice feature.
As I said when its folded its very easy to storage and carry it.
But lets unfold it.
First we should mount the handlebar.
Then we should unfold the frame and fix it with a lock gear.
Then we adjust the height and the scooter is ready to go.
But I should mention the platform is quite narrow and its not comfortable to stay on
it due to the folding gear in the middle.
The wheels are quite small with solid tires and there is a step.
The display is rather large and there is a lot of info on it.
The speed, range, battery status, even the temperature, but the display itself is not
so bright.
As to the lights – the they are very close to the ground I think, but look nice.
Lets weigh it, and the weight is about 11 kilos.
Well it is high time to test it, lets go!
We have three riders today, and first of all I should mention that our weight is different.
My weight is about 90 kilos, my college’s is about 100 and our girls assistant Lera
weighs significantly less.
So she took ETGO scooter cause it has the weakest motor.
But nevertheless It turned out to be the slowest even with the lightest rider.
The next what I should say about - all the scooters have applications for smartphones,
but to my mind all of them are almost useless, so we decided even no to show them.
And now few words about the very first impressions.
The scooter Ko-wheel.
The decent power torque and speed.
It is quite comfortable for riding, nothing is dangling and trembling, the built quality
is up to snuff.
In general I noticed only one drawback.
Of course its matter of taste but I don’t like the huge amount of various lights.
The scooter has decent specs and performance but it looks like a kids stuff.
On the other hand its noticeable on roads at night so it can be considered as advantage.
Superteef.
The first impressions it’s a really Xiaomi Miijia – it has the same performance.
It properly accelerates and brakes, everything works fine.
I remind you that it’s the only scooter with the disk brakes.
Besides it has a handy system of cruising control, you just hold a throttle in the same
position for few seconds and then the scooter keeps the same speed until you slow down.
The other models also have cruising control but this one is the most comfortable.
As to ETGO…
As I’ve already said it’s the weakest scooter.
It has the slowest speed and acceleration.
Besides it has another significant drawback.
It has a bad idle run.
You can easily ride without motor on other two scooters, but on this one it would be
a hard task.
Then I definitely don’t like the display.
Its almost impossible to see something in a sunny weather.
So it seems the only good feature of the scooter is the folding system.
All the scooters move on tiles quite smoothly, you may listen to it.
But the most smooth and silent is Superfteef due to the front pneumatic wheel.
Now lets make some kind of a drag racing!
We’ll see who accelerates faster.
Well Ko-wheel and Superteef have almost the same acceleration, Superteef slightly faster,
but I slightly lighter the Ko-wheel rider.
And certainly ETGO showed the worst acceleration.
As to the maximum speed, the scooters showed us the results very close to the official
specs.
Superteef and Ko-wheel have maximum speed 25 km/h.
As to ETGO…with me it showed only 15 km/h, but I should mention that with light Lera
it shows about 20.
Well now we are going to make the most important test for any electric transport.
Its range.
But firstly we should charge all the devices.
It took approximately the same time to charge them – about 4 hours.
We will measure the range with a special application on smartphone and now lets start riding.
Unfortunately we didn have enough time till night to test all the scooters by the same
rider, so we tested them simultaneously.
So the weight of the riders will be different.
As you may remember its 100 kilos for ko-wheel, 90 kilos for superteef, and 72 kilos for ETgo.
So we should take into account such a difference.
The first who ran out of battery was Ko-wheel.
Its result is slightly less than 10 kms.
But it was the heavies rider.
Surprisingly ETGO showed the better result, its range is 12 kms.
As to the Superteef it showed the best result.
Its range is 18 kms.
In this way we can make a conclusion that weigh of the rider matters greatly in such
tests.
And now its high time to speak about the prices!
We bought Superteef for dollars 400.
Kowheel price is 450 dollars and ETGO has the same price 450 dollars.
But it was some time ago, And I don’t know if they will be available for such prices
when you are watching this video.
To sum up this review I would like to say that in general all three scooters are decent.
But there are many pros and cons for each model.
For example ETGO is rather weak, but its very compact that may be important.
Ko-wheel is good quality scooter with powerful motor showing fast acceleration, but its range
leaves much to be desired.
For my own part I liked Superteef most of all.
Its comfortable nice looking scooter with good performance and best range.
Besides it has reliable disk brakes.
Well lets call it a day.
