Egret GT

The Egret GT electric scooter is among today’s most refined models, designed for demanding riders who require not only high performance but also exceptional reliability, maximum comfort, and above-standard range. With a structural load capacity of up to 150 kg, large 13" tires with a width of 2.5" and a protective steel puncture guard, it is built for stable riding in a variety of urban and suburban conditions. Beneath its robust construction sits a modern battery with a quick-swap system, positioned under the deck, available in either 15 Ah or 20 Ah, which—combined with a voltage of 47.45 V—delivers a range of up to 75 km or even 100 km in eco mode. Charging takes approximately 5 hours using a 3 A charger, so the scooter can handle everyday use without unnecessary downtime. The motor’s peak output reaches 1,620 W, while 62 Nm of torque ensures strong pull on climbs and when riding under heavier load. A major advantage of the Egret GT is its emphasis on safety and modern technology—from integrated turn signals and an 80-lux OSRAM front light, to a brake light and rear LED signaling, to IPX5 water resistance for the entire scooter and IPX7 for the battery itself. The package is completed by a 3.5" TFT display with NFC unlocking, an alarm, an immobilizer, and “Apple Find My” support, making it not only a means of transport but also a technologically advanced smart product.

Design and equipment

Egret GT stands out with its robust yet modern design. When unfolded, it measures 136 × 67 × 128 cm; when folded, only 136 × 60 cm, which greatly simplifies handling and storage. The deck, with generous 17 × 46 cm dimensions, provides a stable stance and also houses a quick-swappable battery—one of the most practical features of this model. Dual suspension—an front oil upside-down RST fork with 5 cm travel and a rear adjustable shock—ensures comfort even on uneven surfaces. The scooter is fitted with 13" tires with steel puncture protection, which increase stability at higher speeds. Lighting is premium: an 80-lux OSRAM front LED, a rear LED light with brake effect, and integrated front and rear turn signals. Control is complemented by a 3.5" TFT display, clearly showing speed, battery capacity, ride mode, and indicators. Useful features also include NFC unlocking, an electronic alarm, an immobilizer, and compatibility with Apple Find My, which significantly reduces the risk of theft. IPX5 water resistance for the scooter and IPX7 for the battery complete the system’s exceptional durability.

Use and practicality

Egret GT is designed as a universal scooter for everyday use. Thanks to its high load capacity of 150 kg, it is ideal for taller, heavier, or more demanding riders, as well as for those who require a solid and reliable frame. Its 13" tires are exceptionally stable and durable, and the internal steel reinforcement reduces the risk of punctures. The weight of 32.3–33.2 kg places it among heavier scooters, but this reflects its robust build and high riding stability. Maintenance is simple—160 mm hydraulic disc brakes don’t require frequent adjustment, the suspension is durable, and the battery can be easily swapped for a second one, increasing long-term usability. The scooter can be conveniently transported by car or stored indoors, as its folding mechanism is fast and intuitive. With IPX5 / IPX7 resistance, it is also suitable for riding in rain. For those who ride long distances, the option to buy a second battery and swap it easily on the go is a major advantage. Smart features such as the alarm, NFC, and immobilizer plus Find My make it a safer means of transport even in cities with higher theft risk.

Safety

Safety on the Egret GT is at an exceptionally high level. Maximum control is ensured by hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors, which deliver stable, precise, and immediate braking. The 13" tires provide excellent contact with the surface and a shorter stopping distance. Lighting is handled professionally—an 80-lux OSRAM LED headlight, a rear LED with brake functionality, and integrated turn signals greatly increase visibility at night and in bad weather. The frame is designed to handle a 150 kg load without losing stability. Electronic security is provided by NFC unlocking, an alarm, and an immobilizer, which protect the scooter whenever it is parked. The Apple Find My function enables continuous location tracking, significantly reducing the risk of theft. IPX5 water resistance allows riding in rain, while the battery with IPX7 certification can withstand even brief immersion in water. Thanks to the 62 Nm torque, acceleration is immediate and safe even in demanding conditions.

Performance and range

Egret GT is driven by a motor with a peak output of 1,620 W, delivering impressive acceleration and enabling stable riding even in demanding terrain or under heavier load. The 62 Nm torque ensures strong climbing power and quick response to rider input. The under-deck battery has a capacity of 15 Ah or 20 Ah at a voltage of 47.45 V, enabling a 75 km range with the smaller battery and up to 100 km with the larger one. Charging takes only 5 hours using a 3 A charger, which is ideal for daily use. Thanks to the 13" tires and dual suspension—an front RST fork with 5 cm travel and a rear adjustable shock—riding remains comfortable even at higher speeds. Performance is fully under the rider’s control via the high-quality 3.5" TFT display, which shows all key values for safe, smooth riding.

Our evaluation

Compared to other Egret models, the Egret GT is clearly the most powerful and most advanced option. Versus models like the Egret Pro or Egret X, it offers a stronger motor (1,620 W), higher torque (62 Nm), larger 13" tires, a sturdier construction, and significantly better suspension. Its range of up to 100 km is among the highest in the entire product line. Features such as NFC, alarm, immobilizer, Apple Find My, hydraulic brakes, and professional lighting place it firmly in the absolute premium class. With a weight of 32.3–33.2 kg it is not the lightest model in the brand’s lineup, but it offers the highest stability, best safety, and greatest ride comfort. For riders who want the maximum that the Egret brand can offer, the GT is the clear flagship.

About the brand

The German company Walberg Urban Electrics has been selling the premium EGRET brand since 2012. A second lifestyle brand, THE-URBAN, was added in 2017. In the meantime, Walberg Urban Electrics has distributed more than 60,000 electric scooters. Its founder, Florian Walberg, started out as an e-scooter user. Thanks to his own experience, he recognized the enormous potential of this new form of mobility. In his view, in the coming years cities will need to reorganize roads and sidewalks in a new way—away from vehicles with combustion engines toward alternative forms of mobility. Electric scooters, especially foldable ones, can be easily combined with public transport or with a private car. And we completely agree. The EGRET and THE-URBAN brands are especially popular in Germany, thanks to their German quality, reliability, and stylish design.
