Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter- Overview Review
This is the Awesome Gallop, a scooter riding the wave of new sleek, good-looking, fast fun electric scooters at affordable prices.
Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - DESIGN:
At 1400 dollars it hits the sweet spot between budget and performance with dual 1200 watt motors, acclaimed top speed of 40 miles an hour and a plethora of useful features. Longtime scooter experts Titan manufacture the scooter and that's a really good thing. They're one of the most reliable manufacturers on the planet and have've had great experiences with their scooters. In typical Titan fashion, they've made a solid, well-built electric scooter with plenty of power. Awesome's branding complementss this scooter well, and I like the orangery yellow accent color choice. It's flashy without going over the top. So many things that used to be considered special features at this price are just standard on this scooter. Things like the big center display key, ignition switch. Exoddeh hydraulic disc brakes, twist lock, stem latch and removable battery.
The dimensions and design are well thought out as well, with good geometry, tall wide handlebars, a sizable riding platform and a flat rear tail allowing for a comfortable and natural riding position. I was also impressed with the suspension. Normally scooters at this price have small or overly bouncy suspension, but with the gallop you get a good amount of travel without the usual springy rebound.
With the off-roadnematic tires you get a ride that is comfortable and capable on a lot of different terrain. I was a little disappointed to see that they went with tubeed tires, since a pinched tube is the most common way to get a flat tire on a scooter. But it does look like it has split rims, so a tube chain should be quite a bit easier than it would be with solid rims.
Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - Closer Look
Looking closer at the cockpit you'll get 25.5 inch wide handlebars which aren't the widest I've seen, but they offer plenty of control and stability at the highest speeds. The Gris are also pretty good with a palm retest and some texture. They don't rotate around the bars hardly at all despite not locking in place.
The display is large and easy to read. I like that. It also shows when you're in dual or Single motor mode while having a dedicated button to switch between those modes. The buttons are plastic and have a bit of a last- gen field of them, but they get the job done. The ignition switch is in a unique place it's centered which avoids having to run another wire to the handlebars and it keeps things nice and neat. The ignition cover kind of sticks up in front of the display just a bit when you put the key in, but it's not overly annoying and you could always cut the cover off if it gets in the way too much.
Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - Complaint
My only big complaint with the cockpit is the throttle, which is probably my least favorite style. It's a vertical thumb throttle, which I really don't like on faster scooters. My preference is for a horizontal thumb throttle or a trigger throttle. This particular style is a bit plastic and cheap feeling, and it fluxes when it's fully pressed down. I found that after riding for a while I didn't mind it or notice it as much, but it is something i'd love to see. Changed in future versions of the Gallop.
The stem latch is extra beefy and keeps the stem rock solid. The twist style is simple, easy to use and effective. Just be sure to check it occasionally and retighten it as it will sometimes slowly loosen over time. It has a safety pin, so you don't have to worry about it ever folding fully down while you're riding. You also get a deck latch to keep the handlebars in place when it's folded. Takes a second to get used to how it latches, but having it hidden under the tail. Is nice for aesthetics.
At about 90 pounds you really don't want to be picking up the scooter by the stem when it's folded, but with this latch you don't have to worry about the handlebarss flopping around while carrying it.

Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - ACCELERATION
Out of the box. The gallop has a smooth, manageable acceleration curve that pulls consistently up to the top speeds, but you can go into the P settings and crank up the acceleration if you want it to be more aggressive.
Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - PERFORMANCE
Now this has a claimed top speed of 40 miles an hour.
Looks like it's settling in pretty nicely around 35 or 36, and if weoom a couple miles an hour higher than the actual GPS speed like usual, it's about a 34 a 35 mile an hour scooter when you know you're cruising in conditions like this.
You know, reduced. Reduced your profile became as aerodynamic as possible, but.
This is more realistic like cruising speeds and highest in the highest mode all right. Let's see if I can get up up to the 40 mile an hour top speed. Okay. So 37 was the fastest I saw on that straight.
Crouch down we did have some head wind, so I think going the other direction it would probably go faster. But as is usually the case with these scooters that are advertised, that is 40 mile an hour scooters. They don't actually go 40 miles an hour except with like a tailwind crouched down. You're usually gona get top speeds of like 35 or 36 with a quote unquote. 40 mill an hour scooter. You're obviously going to have no issues with hill climbing. With a big dual motor scooter like this, just riding this thing around you just you're not worried about it at all. It just feels so solid and stable. Feels good quality. You know, you get decent components on it. You get really good speed. The suspension feels nice, keeps you nice and planted. It's not overly bouncy.
I really like everything about this and I especially like the price point. I think 1400 is a fantastic price for this scooter. You know it has the features of like a 1015 or 1600 dollars scooter and you get to save a couple 100 dollars. The gallop also handles really well like it was really stable up at the highest speeds. But even in these lower speed sections where I'm carving and cruising through the paths, it feels quite nimble. The hydraulic disc brakes are a great addition to the gallop, allowing both small, precise speed adjustment and quick full lockup breaking.
Ausom Gallop Electric Scooter - OFF-ROAD
Yeah, that hulled that just fine, all that off-reading nothing feels loose or wobbly. The suspension didn't feel like I was bottoming it out constantly or you know, doing any damage to it. So yeah. Overall impressed. Like most dirt riding, you'll be totally fine with this scooter.
