Why I Recommend the Apollo Go:
Perhaps the biggest USP that the Apollo Go can lay claim to is the fact that it’s one of the cheapest electric scooters with dual motors (or, at least the best budget model that I recommend – there are other cheaper models but they just don’t have the pedigree of the Go, or Apollo in general).
But the Go’s affordability doesn’t mean that sacrifices have been made to its quality. You see, it’s a bastion of superb design brought to life by premium materials. From the aluminum-alloy frame, anti-corrosive graphite paint, and immaculate cable management, to the wobble-free stem, smart battery management system, and tactile controls, this is a model that oozes class.
Factor all of this alongside its pair of 36V 350W mini jet engines, and it delivers a tested top speed of 25.5 mph. Based on my years of experience, this is more than enough pace for all but the most experienced of riders.
It’s no slouch in hitting its stride, either. I zoomed from 0-15 mph in 3.8 seconds, and 0-20 mph in just 7.4 seconds. As for hills, moderate inclines are well within its grasp.
It’s worth mentioning at this point that the only area of its performance that didn’t quite match the caliber of the rest was its range. I clocked 17.6 miles, which felt a little shortchanged. But, it was a chilly day (48.8 °F / 9.3 °C) and batteries are notorious for not performing nearly as well as they do in the cold vs their optimum operating temperatures (70.7 °F / 21.5 °C).
Nevertheless, the Go has plenty of features that elevate its overall performance. Take its suspension for instance. With a spring at the front and a rubber block at the rear, it quells shocks and vibrations. The plush tires add to its smooth ride, too, while their self-healing technology ensures they remain low-maintenance.
A bounty of brownie points is also earned when it comes to the world-class cockpit. Made up of ergonomic paddles for the throttle and regen brake, as well as integrated controls for your turn signals, and a DOT Matrix display, it screams premium. The cherry on top of the cake, though, is the Quadlock phone mount. With it, you can use your phone as the display.
You simply stick the mount accessory to the back of your phone’s case (it comes included in the box with the scooter) and then attach it to the adjoining mount that’s positioned in the center of the handlebars.
No other scooter outside of the Apollo range can compete with this feature. The same can be said for its Cybetruck-inspired lights.
The last area of its design that I want to draw attention to is how much it weighs. For a dual-motor model, it’s relatively lightweight. Weighing just 46 lbs, it’s 51% lighter than the combined average of all the scooters on this list (94 lbs). Plus, with a clip-in and clip-out folding system, the Go presents itself as a good option if you value portability.
With everything that the Apollo Go has to offer, there’s no shying away from the fact that it represents excellent value for anyone looking for a dual-motor scooter on a budget.

Why I Recommend the Apollo City Pro:
A standout model of the entire roster of 2025 electric scooters, the Apollo City (original known as the City Pro) is the ideal scooter for anyone who values incredible design, show-stopping ride quality, enthralling power, and next-generation features.
Its 48V 500W motors produce a powerful peak output of 2000W, a top speed of 31.2 mph, and a zippy acceleration rate that’ll have you zooming from 0-15 mph in just 2.3 seconds – about as quick as a Formula One pit stop. But what makes the City so enjoyable to ride is that it's fast enough to get your adrenaline pumping, whilst also maintaining a precise level of handling to make it both nimble and responsive.
Together with its plethora of all-weather and commuter-focused features, it’s a marquee achievement by one of the industry’s most celebrated brands.
First, let’s consider its commuter chops. From the new cockpit that’s a case study in ergonomic design to the expertly crafted frame and integrated mobile app for customizable performance, the latest edition of the City improves upon what came before it in every way.
With the widest handlebars in the commuter category, a long, tapered, grippy deck, and a high 42.1-inch deck-to-handlebar height, you needn’t be a seasoned pro to master its charms. Combined these design attributes promise outstanding control and can accommodate riders up to 6’5”. Plus, with a 265 lbs load-bearing capacity, it’s an ideal scooter for heavier riders.
Then you have the upgraded 10-inch tires. They’re still tubeless – which means lots of cushioning – but they’re now also self-healing, thereby eliminating the threat of punctures. Working in tandem with the triple spring suspension, they ensure your ride to the office is silky smooth and shock-free. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is extremely stiff and 10 is extremely soft, I rated it a 7.5.
Elsewhere, the large 48V 20Ah battery promises a 43-mile maximum range, though based on my tests and assessments, if you ride fast, cruise, and make multiple pit stops, you can expect closer to 27 miles. This is more than enough juice for a few commutes.
Meanwhile, the brakes are responsive and reliable; dual drums and a regenerative braking system will bring you to a complete stop from 15 mph in just 2.1 meters. What’s more, the regen brake can be used independently. Not only does this deliver a 4.8-meter stopping distance in its own right, but it can also recharge your battery by up to 10%.
Factor in a simple, yet secure folding mechanism, strong lighting rig (with handlebar integrated turn signals), and an industry-leading 10,000 km warranty, and you have a commuter scooter that you can hang your hat on.
But the Apollo City is also the best all-weather scooter on the dual motor market. A rare IP66 water-resistance rating – which protects it from water jets and dust ingress – means you can take it out come rain or shine, while its well-positioned fenders ensure you won’t arrive at the office with muddy water sprayed up your back. And, let’s not forget its anti-corrosive graphite paint that keeps the frame in tip-top condition.
I could go on and on about the Apollo City – because when it comes to the whole package, few (if any) models can go toe-toe.

Why I Recommend the Mantis King GT:
Looking for an off-road juggernaut with the poise of a ballerina? What better place to start than with the award-winning Mantis King GT?
Fusing ferocious dual 60V 1100W motors with a fully adjustable suspension system and nigh-on invincible build, the GT is tailor-made for weekend adventures out in the sticks.
Its monumental peak power output of 4200W, top speed of 45 mph, and acceleration rate of 0-15 mph in a sizzling 1.9 seconds – with the help of its 30A controllers and ergonomic thumb throttle – constitute a level of performance that’s enough to reduce even the steepest of grassy hills and mountain paths to mere footnotes.
Meanwhile, with a simple twist of a dial you can adjust the rebound damping on the front and rear hydraulic shocks to either loosen the springs for rough and uneven terrain or stiffen them for faster rides on asphalt. Borrowing from the NAMI Burn-e 2’s ground-breaking design, the King GT’s setup earns it a thoroughly deserved 9/10 on my shock absorption scale.
But the suspension isn’t the only star of the show. No – a pair of 10-inch hybrid pneumatic tires work as an effective supporting cast to cushion bumps and grip loose terrain for maximum traction.
Further support comes from the GT’s design. Its 26-inch-wide handlebars are perfect for maintaining control and balance, while its spacious deck, reinforced kickplate, and rock-solid stem all engender a sense of stability and control.
A good off-roader also requires a lot of range – and once again, the Mantis King GT delivers. Its Samsung 60V 24Ah battery – complete with 21700 cells – produces a maximum range of 56 miles, or 38 miles if you’re pushing it to its limits. This is more than enough juice for an afternoon in the wild.
The brakes have your back, too. The Zoom hydraulics are among the best that I’ve ever tested; they’ll bring you to a smooth and responsive stop from 15 mph in just 2.1 meters. The only other Kaabo scooter – including all the Wolf models – that can beat it is the Mantis V2 (2.0 meters).
There’s little competition when it comes to its lighting rig, though. In addition to a high-mounted headlight, dual taillights, and visible turn signals, the scooter is decked in an array of LEDs that can be customized via a mobile app. All in all, this setup is the epitome of both style and safety.
With a well-balanced frame, high ground clearance, and IPX5 water-resistance rating, the GT leaves no stone unturned in its search for the perfect off-roading formula.
Few scooters can match its intoxicating blend of power, grace, and rugged versatility. That’s why, year after year, the Mantis King GT is awarded the title of best off-road electric scooter.
Best For Heavy & Tall Riders

Why I Recommend the Apollo Phantom:
Don’t be fooled: while I may be including the latest installment of Apollo’s spine-tingling Phantom series for its suitability when it comes to heavy and tall riders, this is a dual-motor scooter with one heck of a bite.
The 3200W of peak power that its dual 52V 1200W motors can summon from the depths of hell will leave you – and pretty much every other scooter rider – cowering in fear, while its 41 mph top speed will see your knuckles turn white and your heart thump. An acceleration rate of 0-15 mph in 2.3 seconds, meanwhile, is up there with the most explosive in its price class.
Underpinning this heady power is the presence of the all-new MACH1 controller, which gives its Sine Wave-equipped competitors (i.e. the Mantis V2) a real run for their money. The smoothness it facilitates – along with the ergonomic thumb throttle – will leave you feeling like Aladdin gliding on a magic carpet.
But anyway, enough fanboying over the Phantom’s performance stats. Let’s talk about its heavy rider credentials. This scooter offers a load-bearing capacity of 300 lbs, which puts it in rare company among other dual-motor models.
Factor in its robust frame and rock-solid stem, and you have one tough cookie.
Then there’s its quadruple-spring suspension. This exceptionally well-calibrated setup eliminates any hint of bottoming out to leave you feeling extremely comfortable – regardless of your weight. Working with the thick traction-loving 10-inch air-filled tires, it guarantees a controlled, cushioned ride.
And 6 ft pushers rejoice, because with a 41.3-inch deck-to-handlebar height, riders of all sizes – no matter if you’re tall, short, big, or small – can enjoy its many qualities.
Add to this the ultra-wide concaved 27-inch handlebars, large 20.5 by 8.5-inch deck, and perfectly angled 5.5-inch kickplate, and you have a trinity of design features that maximize comfort and handling. It’s one of the most inclusive scooters that I’ve ever had the pleasure of testing.
Among other highlights is the cockpit – which, with its paddles for the accelerator and regen brakes, anti-glare display, and flared grips, provides top-tier power delivery and inspires confidence to reach the limits of its fearsome Ludo mode.
The integrated mobile app permits you the ability to customize your performance settings, too. Here, you can dial in the strength of your regen brakes, adjust the intensity of your acceleration, change the top speed of each riding mode, activate cruise control, switch between kick-to-start and zero-start modes, and remotely lock the scooter by applying the electronic brakes. You can also record your rides, turn the lights on/off, use it as a navigational device, and get range estimates based on your most recent riding pattern. However, with a maximum of 40 miles in its locker (or 29 miles under real-world conditions), it’s unlikely that you’ll experience range anxiety.
Besides, with the regen brakes, you can recharge your battery by up to 10%. Here, this clever system uses the forces of drag to slow the scooter and funnel kinetic energy back into the battery when braking. More impressive is the fact that the Phantom is the first performance scooter to have this feature. If using the dual discs alongside the regenerative system, you can expect to come to a complete stop from 15 mph in a shuddering 2.1 meters.
To cap everything off, you get an illuminating lighting rig and an IP54 water-resistance rating to ensure that you’re not limited by the setting sun or inclement weather conditions.
Ultimately then, with the Phantom’s inclusive design, exceptional power delivery, and captivating control, it’s easy to see why it’s admired by so many. If you count yourself as a heavy or tall rider then mark my words: there’s no other performance scooter that feels as comfortable or natural to ride as this one.

- IP66 water-resistance rating
The Bad:
- Some scooters within its price class go faster and further. But, none can compete with the Pro’s integration of tech, unique features, and reliable, low-maintenance build
- Suspension system could be more plush
Why I Recommend the Apollo Pro:
In developing the hotly-anticipated Pro, Apollo took inspiration from the likes of Apple and Tesla. Now, having been through six iterations – with customers closely involved throughout each stage – the finished product is here. The result is a scooter that fuses spectacular build quality, futuristic design, and next-gen tech.
Take, for instance, the Dot Matrix display in the center of its 28-inch-wide handlebars. Unlike the pre-burnt units that are found on almost every other scooter, this one uses pixels and can be reprogrammed. This means that it can receive new features via over-the-air updates. It’s impervious to sun-glare and exceptionally bright, too.
Then you have the mobile app. To be honest, it makes all other apps look a little silly. Through it, you can record rides, get range estimates based on your most recent riding pattern, use it as a navigational device, adjust the top speed of each riding mode, dial in the accelerative and regen braking strength, view the health of your battery, switch between start modes, change the brightness and color of the stem, deck, and kickplate lights, remotely lock and unlock the scooter, and even set a humorous self-destruct alarm.
Another cool feature is the QuadLock mount, which allows you to use your phone and the app as the main display. It’s equipped with wireless charging, too. Below the mount is a Bluetooth speaker, which allows you to play music as you ride.
And get this: the Apollo Pro comes with a built-in GPS tracker and Apollo Connect+ service. Used together, they grant you 24/7 tracking of your scooter, real-time notifications of any suspicious activity, and the ability to enable a killswitch to render the scooter unusable. It’s fair to say that this is the most secure scooter ever released.
But let’s not forget that the Apollo Pro is a dual-motor scooter – and a powerful one, at that. Its 52V 1200W rockets produce a peak power of 6000W and a top speed of 44 mph.
With the first-of-its-kind MACH2 controller in tow, it also surges from 0-15 mph in a rapid 2.1 seconds, before reaching 30 mph in just 6.3 seconds.
Fear not, however, because the Pro knocks it out of the park when it comes to braking. It’s the first ultra-performance scooter to feature a dedicated regen paddle, which alone can bring you to a stop from 15 mph in 4.8 meters. Add two low-maintenance drums to the equation, and you can expect a stopping distance of 2.3 meters.
I could talk about the Apollo Pro all day. It’s a sensational, forward-thinking scooter, with a 63-mile range, a proprietary design comprising of 150 custom-made components, 12-inch self-healing tires, a 360-degree lighting rig, and an IP66 water-resistance rating all bolstering its appeal to tech-savvy riders.
Sure, other scooters can go faster. Its ride quality is also beaten by some. But never before has a scooter embraced technology with such relish. It dazzles across the board, and with more features than you’ll find in a Silicon Valley super-mansion, it’s the gift that’ll keep on giving for years to come.

- It’s difficult to see which riding mode you’re in
- You need to be mindful of how heavy you are on the throttle to prevent excessive wheel spin
Why I Recommend the EMOVE RoadRunner Pro:
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of riding a fast scooter – but sometimes you just want to enjoy it sat down. If you fall into this category then I have three words for you: EMOVE RoadRunner Pro.
In many ways, the RoadRunner Pro is more bike than scooter. Its cushioned memory foam seat certainly looks and feels like one that you’d find on a Super73, while its ultra-wide 31-inch handlebars and responsive twist-grip throttle are features that you don’t often see in the world of scooters.
In fact, the one key feature that distinguishes the RoadRunner Pro as a scooter – despite its appearance suggesting otherwise – is its pegs. They play a bigger role than mere categorization, though, because, alongside those handlebars, they grant unrivaled balance, control, and handling. By resting your feet on either side of the chassis, you feel planted in the seat and can use your body weight to lean into corners.
And boy, do you need them. Armed with dual 60V 2000W motors and 45A Sine Wave controllers, the RoadRunner Pro delivers a peak power output of 6000W, a top speed of 54 mph, and an acceleration rate that can cause an ungodly amount of wheel spin.
To put it simply, for its price, it’s the fastest scooter that you can get. Out of the 91 scooters in my database that cost less than $3,000, none can better its top speed. And for that matter, it’s also the fastest seated scooter.
Good job, then, that it has a large 60V 30Ah LG battery to feed its power-hungry motors. This beauty has a maximum of 50 miles in its locker – or 34 miles if you’re going hell for leather. Even better, is that the battery is removable, meaning you can detach it from the scooter for easier charging, whilst also doubling your range with a spare.
The chassis that houses the battery could have been better designed, though. The locking pin that keeps the top of the chassis in place over the battery often comes loose, meaning that it bounces up and down while you ride. Luckily, the battery itself remains secure thanks to its grip on the sliding plate.
Despite this minor inconvenience, the RoadRunner Pro has plenty of other features that bolster its appeal. Humongous 14-inch tires provide outstanding balance, handling, and maneuverability, while their tubeless design and split-rims make tire swaps easy. The dual springs at the rear, meanwhile, provide a plush and cushioned ride, while the front hydraulic fork is a little stiffer to prevent wobble at speed.
The brakes also play a key role in your ability to tame this beast. A combination of 180 mm rotors and powerful Zoom hydraulic 2-piston calipers bring you to a safe stop from 15 mph in a responsive 3.0 meters.
Then there’s the not-so-small matter of its 330 lbs load-bearing capacity and adjustable handlebars that can be positioned high, low, towards, or away from you. Combined, they make the RoadRunner Pro accessible to all riders – no matter your size.
Sporting such an inclusive design is important, as anyone who steps foot on it will want to keep it. Supremely comfortable, blisteringly fast, and downright addictive, it’s rewritten the rulebook on what seated scooters can achieve.

Why I Recommend the Wolf King GTR:
Generally speaking, I find riding at speeds of up to 40 mph to be fast enough. But, that doesn’t mean others don’t seek to push the boundaries of power, engineering, and endurance. Case in point: the Wolf King GTR.
This snarling beast is capable of feats that are quite frankly shocking. And I mean that in the best possible way. Its dual 72V 2000W motors are outrageously powerful. I tried to max out the top speed, but reaching 52.7 mph was enough to make me question my choices in life. Impressively, other reviewers have clocked 65.8 mph, showcasing just how fast this scooter truly is.
Yet, while riding at approx. 50 mph was enough to spike my adrenaline, I felt stable and secure throughout. This is a result of its big, robust, dual-stemmed frame, well-balanced weight distribution, and extremely wide 29.5-inch handlebars. I’ve ridden fast on other scooters, but nothing came close to the confidence that you get ripping the throttle on the GTR.
It’s ridiculous top speed isn’t the only headline. Based on the results from my tests, where I used a high-precision GPS data logger, the GTR’s acceleration beat every other heavy-hitting scooter in its category. It was like I was trying to tame a cheetah.
With the GTR’s peak power output of 13,440W in full flow, I hit 15 mph in 1.6 seconds, 30 mph in 3.4, and 45 mph in just 6.1.
Now, one of the most interesting features that this scooter brings to the table is traction control. This limits the amount of wheel spin produced by the motors. I strongly suggest activating it by ensuring that Sport mode is turned OFF.
Beyond its performance in the speed stakes, it also performed highly in my range test. My test, which included me as a 197 lb rider traveling at an average moving speed of 21.9 and climbing a total ascent of 2,323 ft, revealed a real-world range of 42.82 miles. This certifies it as a long-range beast.
The GTR has a few other tricks up its sleeve, too. Unlike the original GT, it now comes with an adjustable hydraulic fork and rear shock. Now, I’ll level with you: when I used the two dials to adjust the compression rate of the fork, I couldn’t detect a discernible difference in shock absorption.
I also found that if you have the rear spring set at a fast rebound rate, the power from the rear motor pulls both the tire and swingarm forward. It’s best to adjust the rebound of the rear shock to its slowest setting for the most stable acceleration. On the other hand, it’s better to use a quicker setting when off-roading.
These details aside, the new suspension is far more advanced than the old system, and with the hybrid tires also working their magic, the GTR scored an impressive 8.5 out of 10 on my shock absorption scale.
Now, it goes without saying that if any scooter needed incredibly strong brakes, this is it. Well, I’m pleased to report that the dual hydraulic brake calipers and thick 160 x 3 mm rotors brought me to a complete stop from 15 mph in 3.0 meters. This is what you’d expect from an ultra-performance model.
Factor in an IPX5 water-resistance rating, a display that grants access to customizable performance settings, and a lighting rig that illuminates the darkest of trails, and you have an indomitable scooter that’s ready to take on the ravages of whatever you throw its way.
The Wolf King GTR’s extreme power will stick in your memory – and for good reason. Riding it feels like you’ve been strapped to the back of a Formula 1 Car.

How Did I Test the Scooters?
After shortlisting and testing 29 dual-motor electric scooters, I hand-selected the 7 top performers.
To assess each scooter on a level playing field, I tested their top speed, acceleration, controller response, handling, and braking. I also reported on the size of their motors, and their nominal and peak power outputs.
These tests were carried out as part of a wider, standardized testing process that I employ for every electric scooter that I review. Find out more about how I test below:
Dual-Motor Electric Scooters That I Tested:

Test Criteria:
Motor Size & Power (Volts, Watts, Nominal & Peak Power)
Aside from measuring top speed and acceleration, four key pieces of information that formed the foundation for comparable benchmarking across the shortlisted scooters were the size and power of their motors – as determined by volts (V) watts (W), nominal power, and peak power.
Volts measure the electrical pressure being pushed through a motor. A higher voltage correlates with a higher output of torque and, as a result, a faster acceleration rate.
Watts, on the other hand, measure the power that a motor is capable of producing. Here, a higher wattage results in a faster top speed.
Similarly, nominal power refers to the rated watts that a motor can produce continuously without damaging itself. A higher nominal power means a higher continuous speed.
Peak power, however, indicates the maximum watts that a motor can generate for short periods before overheating. A higher peak power means greater torque and more explosive power.
The top-performing scooters that I hand-selected for this guide had motors that operated between 48V and 72V with 1000-4000W of nominal power, and 2000-8400W of peak power.
Top Speed
To test the top speed of each scooter I first made sure that their tires were inflated to the recommended PSI, their batteries were fully charged, and their performance settings were dialed up to the max. I then put the pedal to the metal on a long, dry stretch of road.
While I was able to test the scooters up to 40 mph, I was not able to gather first-hand top-speed data beyond this because I didn’t have enough runway to safely reach those speeds. This was especially true of scooters like the EMOVE RoadRunner Pro and Wolf King GT – both of which can reach 50 and 62 mph, respectively.
This is a common issue among reviewers since testing to this degree requires either a controlled automotive test track or the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars to build one.
To counter this, I weighted my assessment of speed more on acceleration as this is the true indicator of a scooter’s thrill. Top speed is, after all, a vanity metric.
Acceleration
Electric scooters with dual motors are sought after because with them comes higher top speeds, improved hill climbing capabilities, and best of all, adrenaline-inducing acceleration rates.
To establish accurate reports of each scooter’s accelerative power, I conducted multiple tests across several intervals (i.e. 0-15 mph, 0-25 mph). For each interval, I conducted 3x two-way directional runs on a flat, dry road, and then averaged the data (in seconds).
To ensure consistency, zero-start modes were enabled, the performance settings were dialed up to the max, the tires were pumped up to their recommended PSI, and the batteries were fully charged.
Controllers
Controllers are responsible for the coordination of how battery power is delivered to the motors and other components that require electricity. But, not all controllers are made equal.
They are rated by how much current (measured in amps) and voltage can pass through them. Those with high amp and voltage figures can control more powerful scooters.
Typically speaking, the higher the amps (A) and voltage (V), the greater the scooter’s torque, the faster its acceleration, and the higher its top speed.
However, the major area of consideration for this guide was the type of controllers used – Square Wave or Sine Wave.
Square Wave controllers release power instantaneously, while Sine Wave ones release it more gradually. Imagine a light switch being flicked on and off in a dark room. The room goes from being pitch black to filled with light in an instant. The same abrupt flow of power is generated by Square Wave controllers. The power delivery of Sine Wave controllers, however, can compared to a roll-on/roll-off dimmer dial. Instead of a dark room being filled immediately with light, the dimmer dial gradually increases the light level.
Some riders love the in-your-face hit of the former, though the latter grants you a smoother and more controlled delivery of power.
During my assessment of each scooter, I reported on the responsiveness of their throttles.
Handling
Stability and control are crucial when riding fast, and so, in addition to my reports on how each scooter felt to ride at speed (i.e. taking note of wobble), I also assessed handlebar width, deck-to-handlebar height, the angle of steering columns, usable deck space, and kickplate angles.
The top performers had wide handlebars, high deck-to-handlebar heights, rake angles that allowed for both stability and maneuverability, decks with enough space to accommodate a natural riding stance, and kickplate angles that offered comfortable platforms to lean into the ride. The frames of the scooters were also well-balanced and robust.
I also made sure to assess each scooter relative to its use case. For example, the Mantis King GT was my top pick for off-roading, so I tested its handling while traversing different types of terrain. Then for the NAMI Burn-e 2 – which I awarded the title of the best dual-motor scooter for ride quality – I took note of how comfortable it was to ride for extended periods (i.e. reporting on its shock absorption). I applied this methodology to each scooter so that I could pick out the most well-equipped models.
Braking
To ascertain each scooter’s braking prowess, I measured the distance that it took for them to stop from 15 mph.
These tests were repeated until I had 5 measurements from controlled stops (i.e. braking without skidding). This data was then averaged.
If electronic or regenerative braking systems were present then I dialed their strength up to the max.
Based on my tests, stopping distances can be interpreted as follows: Excellent (less than 2.5 meters), Very Good (2.5 – 3.0 meters), Good (3.0 – 3.5 meters), Fair (3.5 – 4.0 meters), and Poor (more than 4.0 meters).

FAQs
What is a Dual Hub Electric Scooter?
A dual hub electric scooter has motors that are incorporated into the hub of each wheel. So dual hub means, for all intents and purposes, dual motor.
Which Motor Type is Best for an Electric Scooter?
Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are best for electric scooters. Compared to brushed motors, they have superior power-to-weight ratios, are more dependable, and are less susceptible to overheating.
How Does an Electric Scooter Motor Work?
When you press down on a scooter's throttle, an electrical signal is transmitted to the controllers, telling them to pull power from the battery and funnel it to the motors. This generates kinesis of the wheels. You can learn more about how motors work here.
What is Torque in an Electric Scooter?
Torque is a force measured in Newton-meters (Nm). In the world of electric scooters, we know it as the twisting force that’s required to rotate a scooter’s wheels. Essentially, torque measures the strength of a motor. As a rule of thumb, the higher the voltage of a motor, the higher its torque, and the faster its acceleration.
How Many Watts Are in Electric Scooter Motors?
It depends on the electric scooter.
At the lowest end of the scale, budget electric scooters can have motors as small as 250W. On the other hand, electric scooters that are at the apex of performance can have dual 2000W motors.
How Much Horsepower Does an Electric Scooter Have?
For every watt of motor power, an electric scooter has 0.00134 mechanical horsepower. So, for instance, budget models that have small 250W motors have 0.34 horsepower, while ultra-performance models that have peak power outputs of 8400W have 11.3 horsepower.
What Makes an Electric Motor More Powerful?
- Voltage (V): Affects the motor’s torque. Higher Voltage = Faster acceleration.
- Watts (W): Affects the size of the motors and their power output. Higher Watts = Faster top speeds.
The strength of an electric motor also depends on the length of the wire in its stator’s electromagnet. The longer the wire, the more coils in the stator – and the more powerful the magnetic field. With this added strength comes enhanced power to move the rotor, propelling the scooter at a faster pace.
What is the Most Powerful Electric Scooter?
The most powerful electric scooter in my database of over 140 models is the Dualtron Storm Limited. With its monstrous dual motors enabling an earth-shattering peak power output of 11,500W and a blistering top speed of 75 mph, it’s the most potent powerhouse in the industry.
