E-Twow Gentle Fat Bike V2

Given the fact that the Gentle Fat Bike V2 model is equipped with pedals, we can not classify it as a standard electric scooter, not even with all our eyes closed. However, it offers the best of the world of electric scooters and bicycles without any unnecessary compromises. It looks like a bicycle and it is a bicycle. Yet, you can ride it happily without actually using pedals, similarly to riding a scooter. Except that you can sit comfortably on this “scooter” thanks to the seat suspension and, in particular, truly huge and wide wheels. Just open the throttle by turning the rotating handle functioning the same way as in motorcycles or quads, and this Fat Bike starts swiftly accelerating. Thanks to the large capacity battery, the scooter can handle a range of up to 50 km while its battery is easily removable, which fact you will definitely appreciate as it is not necessary to drag the electric scooter home, you only need to take the battery. Weighing 28 kg and featuring ergonomic folding structure, it can fit almost any place.

Range, performance and safety

The E-Twow Gentle Fat Bike V2 has a 250 W power, which is enough not only for riding comfortably around the city but also for more challenging terrain, with a little bit of pedaling assistance. Its maximum speed is limited to 25 km/h. It comes with a replaceable lock-protected lithium LG battery (stored energy of 374.4 Wh at 36 V and 10.4 Ah). It takes about 6 hours to fully charge, after which the scooter provides a range of 50 km. The E-Twow brand paid a lot of attention to this model’s safety. The GE Fat Bike is made of a strong aluminum alloy used in the aerospace industry and features mechanical disc brakes on both wheels, meaning you can always stop safely. The scooter has a sprung fork at the front and a telescopic sprung seat at the back, enhancing not only to comfort but also riding stability. The front and rear LED lights contribute to safety. The rear light also serves as a brake light. Thanks to large 20-inch, air-filled wheels, riding this scooter is even more comfortable, stable and safe as a result. The large wheels likewise provide stronger gyroscopic stabilization effect, meaning that the scooter has better directional stability while riding. The wheels made in a fat bike style are really massive, which too contributes to comfort when riding off-road or on poor roads.

Comfort and design

This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful folding electric bicycles of the fat bike type in the world. For a friendly price, it offers not only good parameters and the option to ride without pedaling, but also a very stylish design, which makes this fat bike appear as if it was a much more expensive machine. The LCD display built into the handlebars gives them a modern and luxurious look. This e-bike commands respect mostly thanks to its huge and truly wide tires. Before purchasing it, you have the option to choose how rough you want it to be. There are two different wheels and tires to select from, a total of four possible combinations. If you prefer a style resembling a bicycle, you can order it with standard spokes and smooth tires that are a bit more comfortable in a city since riding on them is quieter. On the other hand, if you prefer the scooter to less resemble a bicycle, go with the solid 5-spoke wheels for extra charge, which look rougher, especially when combined with off-road tires.

Use and practicality

If you are looking for an ultimately comfortable and stylish means of transport, the Gentle Fat Bike V2 is the right choice for you. It combines advantages of a bicycle with the comfort of an electric motor without any need to pedal. We rank it as a model suitable for medium-long routes. Whether around the city or through more challenging terrain – we leave it up to you. Regardless of whether you go for a forest trip, travel through a meadow or a field, or just visit a grocery store, you will surely not arrive to your destination being short of breath. Thanks to 20-inch, wide air-filled tires, it can handle bumps and city’s pitfalls well. The scooter has a sprung fork at the front and a telescopic sprung seat at the back. It can comfortably carry heavy rides as the load capacity of this Fat Bike is 125 kg. It is equipped with a practical display integrated directly into the handlebars, which contributes to comfort and stylish look. The ability to fold this scooter to half its size is very useful and practical. Despite being a folding scooter, it is solid and robust. Weighing only 28 kg, it is not considered an extremely heavy machine, which means you are indeed able to carry it up the stairs, if necessary.

Our rating

The E-Twow Gentle Fat Bike V2 is for those who appreciate the benefits of a bicycle but also wish to enjoy easy travelling without pedaling. It is more difficult to maintain because of the presence of a chain, which also comes with the risk of having your pants smudged by oil. The removable battery allows leaving the scooter locked without worries, as you do not have to take the whole muddy scooter home to have the battery recharged. Moreover, if you wish to leave it locked with the battery, the battery itself is lockable as well. Thanks to the fact that this is a folding scooter, you can fit it inside a trunk of a regular car, but there will not be a lot of space left for other luggage. Despite being robust, it is truly a beautiful scooter with sophisticated design, meaning your arrival will be always on a stylish note. The riding comfort is excellent and can be likened to riding an ultra-light and extremely stylish motorcycle rather than riding a bicycle. This is a machine you can rely on, representing an excellent alternative to bicycles or classic electric scooters, and which will always take you home safely. And should your battery ever happen to run out of “juice”, you will always be able finish your trip by pedaling.

About the brand

E-Twow is one of the oldest electric scooter brands in the world. They’ve been producing electric scooters for ten years. It is one of the few brands based in Europe, namely in Germany (near Stuttgart) and also in Romania. The brand was founded by Dr. Sorin Sirbu who continues to personally supervise the production taking place in China (which is also the case with other scooter brands). The amazing thing about E-Twow is that even after ten years they keep pursuing their original goal – to produce the best ultra-light electric city scooters. It is perhaps thanks to the fact that they didn’t get lured into new segments and keep improving their scooters that with each passing year these scooters get always a little better and more reliable. By gradual evolution, they came up with models that have no competition in the world and are unbeatable in terms of weight / performance / comfort / foldability ratio. They are sold in more than 40 countries, while the company also focuses on environmental aspects of its production. We have maintained excellent relationships with E-Twow for many years and we see them working with enthusiasm and conviction to achieve environmental-friendly personal electromobility that makes sense.
