CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro vs ANGWATT F1 NEW - Budget Bruisers Battle For Your Commute

Fast Answer for Busy Riders ⚡ (TL;DR)

If you want the more rounded, confidence-inspiring scooter, the CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro edges this comparison overall: better safety touches, stronger brand ecosystem, and a ride that feels more like a "real vehicle" than a discount experiment. The ANGWATT F1 NEW fights back hard on raw value and battery size, but feels more like a bargain-bin muscle car - fast and comfy, yet with compromises in refinement, weather protection, and long-term trust.

Choose the Landturbo Pro if you want a rugged everyday workhorse that balances power, comfort and safety without feeling too sketchy. Choose the F1 NEW if your budget is tight, you crave range and speed, and you are willing to live with quirks and do your own wrenching.

Stick around - the differences are subtle on paper but very noticeable once you've done a few dozen kilometres on each.

Electric scooters in this "mid-power, mid-price" space are where things get interesting: too fast to be toys, too cheap to be luxurious, and absolutely capable of replacing a bus pass or a second car. The CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro and ANGWATT F1 NEW both sit right in that sweet spot, promising big torque, proper suspension and real-world commuting range without nuking your bank account.

On one side, the Landturbo Pro is the self-proclaimed SUV of scooters: serious frame, honest suspension, sensible safety kit. It suits riders who want something that feels substantial and predictable, even if it doesn't win every pub-specs argument. On the other side, the ANGWATT F1 NEW is the budget hot-hatch: a big battery, cushy ride and impressive pace for the money, wrapped in a slightly rough-around-the-edges package.

They look similar on a product page. Out on the road, they tell very different stories. Let's unpack those stories properly.

Who Are These For, and Why Compare Them?

Both scooters target riders who've outgrown rental toys and basic commuters. We're talking about people who want to cruise at well above typical bike-lane speeds, tackle hills without praying, and not worry if their commute stretches well into double-digit kilometres.

Price-wise, they sit a league apart: the ANGWATT comes in roughly two to three hundred euro cheaper than the CIRCOOTER, yet on paper tries to match - or beat - it on motor rating, battery, and features. That's exactly why they get cross-shopped: one plays the "specs for peanuts" card, the other plays "balanced all-rounder from a more visible brand".

Rider profile-wise:
- Landturbo Pro: heavier riders, mixed-terrain commuters, people who care about safety features and a more mature product.
- F1 NEW: budget thrill-seekers who prioritise range and comfort, and don't mind rolling the dice a little on refinement and long-term support.

Design & Build Quality

Pick them up (or try to), and both immediately feel like vehicles, not gadgets. Same ballpark weight, same "do not attempt to carry this up four flights daily" vibe.

The Landturbo Pro goes for industrial but relatively clean: thick 6061 aluminium frame, exposed swing arms, a wide, sensible deck and a cockpit that looks like it was actually drawn with a ruler. Welds and structural parts feel reassuringly overbuilt, while some of the smaller components - throttle paddle, plastics, kickstand - are more budget in feel. It's a bit of a two-tier scooter: serious chassis, slightly cheap trimmings.

The ANGWATT F1 NEW looks like it was designed by someone who has watched too much mecha anime: iron-and-aluminium skeleton, angular accents, bright red highlights. It feels robust enough, but the overall impression is more "factory-direct special" than "carefully curated product". The folding joint is decently solid when locked, yet out of the box you often need a full bolt-check - not unusual in this price range, but revealing of where corners are cut.

In the hand and underfoot, the Landturbo's frame feels a touch more consistent and thought-through; the ANGWATT feels like it's throwing materials and features at the spec sheet, then letting you tidy up the aftertaste with an Allen key.

Ride Comfort & Handling

Comfort is where both scooters try to seduce you, and frankly, either will make a no-suspension rental feel like mediaeval torture.

The Landturbo Pro runs dual swing-arm suspension front and rear with proper hydraulic shocks, plus chunky pneumatic tyres with an all-terrain pattern. On broken city tarmac and grit paths, it takes the sting out of potholes and expansion joints. After a handful of kilometres over rough pavements, your knees still know they've been working, but they're not writing angry letters. The wide deck gives excellent stability, and the adjustable bar height makes it easier to dial in a relaxed stance.

The F1 NEW hits the comfort angle from another direction: a larger battery down low, wide deck and those tubeless ten-inch tyres combine with a front oil shock plus rear spring. The hydraulic front unit in particular softens sharp hits nicely; it's a bit more "floaty" at the front than the Landturbo, which can feel quite planted and firm. On long, mildly bumpy rides, the ANGWATT can feel slightly more cushy at moderate speeds, almost like a budget couch on wheels.

Handling-wise, the Landturbo is the steadier of the two at higher speeds and on mixed surfaces. Its all-terrain tyres bite reasonably well on gravel and grass without feeling too vague on tarmac. The ANGWATT's tubeless setup is great for puncture resistance and comfort, but that meaty tread plus the slightly looser-feeling chassis can translate into a more "lively" steering feel when you're pushing it. Not scary, but you're more aware of what the scooter is doing under you.

Performance

Both scooters use rear hub motors in the same nominal class. On paper, it's a draw. Under your feet, they have distinct personalities.

The Landturbo Pro delivers its power like a small diesel SUV: strong off the line, linear and predictable. In its sportier modes it pulls confidently away from traffic lights, and it holds speed on inclines surprisingly well for a single-motor machine. It never feels outrageous, but for city use it absolutely doesn't need to. The claimed top speed is more than enough to get you into "helmet absolutely required" territory, and the chassis feels just about up to the task - provided you respect it.

The ANGWATT F1 NEW feels more like a tuned hatchback. That 1.000 W peak motor paired with a fairly assertive controller gives you enthusiastic shove when you punch the throttle. Acceleration from a standstill is brisk, and it has no trouble sprinting up to bike-lane-busting speeds. The top end is slightly lower in practice than the Landturbo's high theoretical ceiling, but if you're spending your days between city limits and your own sense of self-preservation, the ANGWATT doesn't feel slow at all.

On hills, they're closer than you'd think. The CIRCOOTER has the edge on really steep, sustained inclines: it holds pace better and feels less like it's being flogged. The ANGWATT will climb most urban grades cheerfully, but on the really nasty stuff you feel it dig deeper into the battery and slow more noticeably.

Braking performance is where I feel more at ease on the Landturbo Pro. Its dual mechanical discs plus electronic assist are well matched to the scooter's weight and speed potential. There's enough bite to stop hard without drama, and the electronic anti-lock effect helps reduce skids when you panic-grab the levers on a dusty surface. The F1 NEW also has dual discs plus E-ABS, and power is adequate, but you'll likely spend more time fettling squeaks and lever feel. Once dialled in, it stops fine - it just doesn't give quite the same immediate confidence.

Battery & Range

Range is one of the few areas where the spreadsheet warriors and real riders actually agree: battery capacity matters, but how you ride matters more.

The Landturbo Pro packs a healthy battery that, ridden sensibly in its milder modes, will cover a long commute and back without drama. Ride it flat-out in sport mode, up hills, with a heavy backpack, and your realistic range drops into the solid-but-not-spectacular territory. For most commuters that still means several days of typical city use before you absolutely have to find a wall socket.

The ANGWATT F1 NEW pushes things further with an even larger pack. Here, you truly feel the difference: even riding quite aggressively, you squeeze out a meaningful number of extra kilometres compared with the CIRCOOTER. Dial it back to a moderate pace and it becomes a proper distance gobbler - out-and-back suburban commutes, plus detours, are well within its comfort zone.

Both take roughly an overnight charge to replenish from empty, with the ANGWATT's slightly bigger pack naturally taking a bit longer. In day-to-day use, the difference isn't huge: you plug either one in after work and they're ready by morning. But if you are the kind who often forgets to charge, the F1's extra buffer is hard to ignore.

Portability & Practicality

Let's be clear: neither of these is a joy to carry. They fold; they are not portable in the folding-bike sense.

The Landturbo Pro folds down into a long but manageable package. The stem lock is reassuringly solid when riding and reasonably quick to operate when folding. Once collapsed, it will slide into most car boots, but lifting nearly 30 kg of scooter by the stem is something you'll do deliberately, not casually. If your journey involves stairs every single day, you will eventually resent it.

The F1 NEW is in the same league: similar weight, similar footprint. The latch is sturdy enough, if slightly less polished in feel. In practice, both are fine for occasional lifting - garages, a few steps to a terrace, into a car - but they are not friendly to multi-modal commuters juggling trains, buses and crowded platforms.

Where the Landturbo scores a small but real win is in overall everyday refinement. The kickstand feels slightly more trustworthy, the water-resistance story is clearer, and app-based tweaks (including a digital lock) add genuine convenience. The ANGWATT counters with the NFC start system, which is clever but unforgiving: lose your cards and you're not going anywhere.

Safety

At these speeds, safety stops being theory and starts being the difference between a good story and a hospital visit.

The Landturbo Pro treats safety like part of the design, not an afterthought. Bright front lighting, brake light, turn signals and side deck illumination give you decent 360° visibility. The tyres offer a good blend of grip and compliance, and the scooter's geometry feels predictable at speed. The zero-start option (kick-to-go) is underrated: it massively reduces the chance of launching the scooter accidentally from a standstill.

The ANGWATT F1 NEW also comes loaded with lights and indicators, plus wide tyres for stability and that helpful long wheelbase. In the dark, you're not invisible by any means. But the weaker water-protection story and the slightly less planted behaviour as you approach its top-end speeds make it feel just that bit more "budget fast" compared with the CIRCOOTER's more composed personality.

On the braking front, as mentioned, both can stop you in time if maintained properly, but the Landturbo's tuning out of the box tends to inspire more trust. The ANGWATT often arrives needing more setup - again, fine if you are mechanically comfortable, less so if you just wanted to ride.

Price & Value

On price, the ANGWATT F1 NEW lands a heavy punch. For less than many bland, low-power city scooters, you get a big battery, serious motor, proper suspension and tubeless tyres. In pure "distance and speed per euro" terms, it's frankly aggressive.

The Landturbo Pro costs significantly more. In return, you get a slightly smaller battery, similar motor class, but a more cohesive product: better hill competence, nicer safety execution, app integration, and a brand that, while far from premium, at least has some visibility and structure behind it. Long-term, that can matter as much as raw specs.

If your budget ceiling is hard and low, the ANGWATT is tempting. If you can stretch, the CIRCOOTER starts feeling like better value in the broader sense: less "wow, these numbers for this price!" and more "this actually feels like it'll still be doing its job in a couple of years".

Service & Parts Availability

Neither scooter matches big legacy brands for bricks-and-mortar service, but there are differences.

CIRCOOTER is now reasonably well established in Europe, with authorised dealers and clearer parts channels. Support experiences vary, but at least there's a structure - and a clear warning from the brand itself about fake websites, which is oddly reassuring: they care enough to chase impostors.

ANGWATT is essentially a house brand funnelling through major Chinese retailers. That means parts are usually available and cheap, but you're dealing with warehouse support tickets and parcel shipments rather than local technicians. On the plus side, a fairly active online community helps with DIY repairs and modifications. On the minus side, you are the service centre.

Final Verdict - Which Should You Choose?

The CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro and ANGWATT F1 NEW are aimed at the same kind of rider: someone who wants a serious scooter on a not-so-serious budget. After plenty of kilometres on both, though, I'd say they cater to slightly different temperaments.

If you want your scooter to feel like a tool you can depend on daily, not a project, the Landturbo Pro is the safer bet. It rides more planted, brakes more convincingly, copes better with heavy riders and steep hills, and wraps its performance in a package that feels more cohesive and mature. It still has its rough edges, but fewer of them translate into risk or hassle.

If your wallet says "absolutely not" to the CIRCOOTER's price, and you're comfortable tightening bolts, tweaking brakes and accepting weaker waterproofing, the ANGWATT F1 NEW gives you an impressive amount of speed and range for the money. It's fun, cushy and fast enough to make you forget its price tag - at least until you're squinting at the display in sunlight or wondering how waterproof that deck really is.

For most riders who can afford either, I'd lean towards the CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro as the more balanced, confidence-inspiring choice. The ANGWATT F1 NEW is a fantastic budget toy-turned-tool, but the Landturbo feels more like a tool that just happens to be fun.

Based on the scoring, the CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro is our overall winner. Between these two bruisers, the CIRCOOTER Landturbo Pro simply feels like the more complete partner for everyday life. It might not shout as loudly on the price tag, but on the road it's calmer, more confident and easier to trust when the surface turns ugly or the speed creeps up. The ANGWATT F1 NEW is a loveable rogue - fast, comfy and hilariously good value - but it asks you to forgive a few too many rough edges along the way.
