Within each category, you’ll find a selection of scooters organized by increments of miles. Choose the mileage you’re looking for to narrow down your scooter options and see which comes out as the best in the category.
The scooters we’ve included have gone through a thorough review process where we placed particular focus on maximum mileage, realistic mileage, battery quality, battery management systems, charge time, and durability. Of course, traveling serious distances on two wheels is no fun unless you’re doing it in comfort – so our list also takes into account ride quality factors including tire type, suspension systems, whether they offer seat attachments, and their general handing.
Before we dive in, it’s important to note that the maximum ranges quoted by manufacturers are based on a best-case riding scenario. Often, this includes a 165 lb rider, flat terrain, and keeping the scooter in its slowest speed setting. Under realistic conditions, you should expect less mileage.
As a rule of thumb, if you ride aggressively (i.e. at top speeds), you’ll see a 35-45% drop in range. Don’t sweat it – this is just a fact of life when it comes to electric scooters. To help, we’ve included the realistic ranges alongside the maximum for each scooter.

Summary:
Offering up to 30 miles of range at a sub $600 price point, the Turboant X7 Pro is an invigorating cocktail of affordability and reliability. With a lightweight frame and impressive load-bearing capabilities, the X7 Pro suits a wie array of riders – though commuters and casual riders will get the most out of it.
Plus, the X7 Pro is one of the only scooters on this list to come with a detachable battery. This provides you with more flexibility when it comes to charging, and extends your mileage.
Why We Recommend It:
If you’re on a budget, but still need a scooter that’ll go the distance, it’s tough to look past the Turboant X7 Pro.
Toting a maximum range of 30 miles (16 miles under realistic conditions), the X7 Pro delivers the specs – without breaking the bank. Plus, not only does the X7 Pro boast a lightning-quick charge turnaround time – it’ll be juiced up and ready to ride in just 6 hours – but the detachable battery pack works wonders when you’re out on the road.
That’s because the battery pack can expand your range indefinitely. If you’re planning an all-day ride, for instance – or just have far to travel – investing in a second battery pack will double the Pro’s mileage capabilities. Simply carry your spare with you, and plug it in when the first runs dry. You can even purchase more than one spare pack – and keep them in your backpack while you ride – for extra-long journeys.
The detachable battery also makes charging more convenient – particularly if you live in a top-floor apartment. Rather than having to lug the whole scooter up dozens of flights of stairs, you can simply remove the battery; leaving the rest of the frame in a secure location. We’re also huge fans of the X7 Pro’s battery’s placement. Because it’s located in the handlebar stem, as opposed to the deck, you’re less likely to damage it when the deck takes a few knocks or scrapes.
All this flexibility makes the X7 Pro one of the best – and most budget-friendly – long-range scooters. We also love that, with a load of 275 lbs, it can support more weight than most other scooters in (and beyond) its price class. This makes the Turboant X7 Pro not only suitable for heavier riders but means that – should you need to get any extra luggage or bags from A to B – it’ll have no problem handling the additional weight.
Typically, long rides mean cramped fingers – so it’s a relief that the X7 Pro comes with a handy thumb throttle and cruise control function. All you have to do is hold the throttle and maintain a consistent speed for 10 seconds, and you’ll hear a beep. This means that you’re ‘cruising’, and your X7 Pro will continue at that pace without you having to keep the throttle engaged.
The X7 Pro also comes with several handy ways to help you conserve your scooter’s battery, thereby enabling longer, more energy-efficient rides. Via the X7 Pro’s all-in-one throttle console, you can toggle between three ride modes: Beginner, Eco, and Sport. By capping your scooter’s top speed at 6 mph and 12 mph, respectively, the Beginner and Eco modes help you extract more mileage, while a separate energy-saver setting causes the Pro to automatically turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
The X7 Pro’s plush 10-inch tires give you plenty of stability, and – because they’re full of air, rather than a solid foam or rubber – offer shock absorptive capabilities, too. That said, the X7 Pro’s dearth of ‘traditional’ suspension – such as shocks, springs, and swingarms – prevents it from competing with the ride quality that the more spec-stacked (albeit more expensive) models on this list can offer.
Though we love scooters with Herculean range, mileage should never come before safety. Additional safety features are great to have, but good braking setups are essential.
Fortunately, the X7 Pro comes with not one, not two, but three brakes: an electronic brake, a hand-operated disc brake, and a rear foot brake. Using these together will bring you to a safe stop in as little as 5 meters from 15 mph, which – for a scooter of this price – is standard.
Now, while speed isn’t our main focus – we’ve left that for our separate list of the industry’s fastest electric scooters – it’s always going to play some part in your purchase decision. So let us just say that – for the price – the Pro’s top speed of 20 mph is perfectly sufficient for commuters and casual urban rides. The 36V 350W motor will also get you up hills with an 8.5-degree incline. You’ll be able to weave your way through city streets while staying safe, but just remember – the faster you ride, the quicker your battery will drain, and more undulating terrain will always zap your scooter’s energy faster than flat roads.
Finally, no scooter can be classified as being ‘long-range’ if it’s liable to break down mid-ride – so overall durability and build quality are necessities. Thankfully, the X7 Pro’s aluminum alloy frame is not only tough as nails but – courtesy of an IPX4 water-resistance rating – can withstand light rain and splashes.
SPLACH-Turbo Plus
- Speed: 26 mph
- Weight: 45 lbs
- Load: 265 lbs
Range Stats:
- Maximum Range (Low Speed): 33 miles
- Realistic Range (High Speed): 22 miles
The Good:
- Temperature-cooled battery provides a long-range
- Great value for money
- Sports a dependable QS-S4 display
- Dual drum brakes provide effective stopping power
- IP44 water-resistance rating
- Foldable, with a telescopic stem for adjusting handlebar height
The Bad:
- Solid rear tire lacks shock absorption
- LED setup could be better
Summary:
Don’t be fooled by the bubblegum, baby blue accents – the SPLACH-Turbo Plus is a durable, dependable ride with distance on the brain. It may be new to the electric scooter scene, but – capable of providing up to 33 miles of range, and with brawn and build quality to match – the Turbo Plus is making a name for itself.
Why We Recommend It:
The SPLACH-Turbo Plus is a refreshingly rare find in the world of long-range scooters. That’s because it not only provides a whopping 33 miles of distance (22 miles in realistic conditions) but manages to do so without taking an age to charge. When you plug two chargers into the Plus’s dual charging ports, it’ll be ready to go again in as little as 3 hours.
On top of this, the Turbo Plus lets you ride safely in the knowledge that there’s a smart temperature control system protecting its 48V 15.6Ah battery from harm. By regularly cooling the battery, this technology prevents the scooter’s innards from overheating, which could otherwise result in permanent damage.
The Turbo Plus also shows its class (and lives up to its price point) by providing what the Turboant X7 Pro doesn’t – dedicated suspension. The adjustable front and rear springs are accompanied by swingarms to deliver a buttery smooth ride across urban terrain. SPLACH claims that the suspension system soaks up a whopping 87% of the impact caused by cracks and crevices in the concrete, and based on our tests against models that lack suspension, this holds true.
Despite the excellent suspension, it’s fair to say that the jury’s still out regarding the tires. While the front wheel is an 8.5-inch pneumatic, the rear is 8-inches and solid rubber. We would have preferred to see a matching pneumatic at the rear because solid tires fail to provide any shock absorption, resulting in a juddering, jolting, jittery ride. Luckily, the suspension system counteracts this.
Solid tires aren’t all bad, though – particularly when they’re located on the rear wheel. Rear wheels are more liable to pick up punctures, and – given solid tires are immune to this damage – SPLACH’s approach is somewhat understandable.
In terms of build quality and design, the Turbo Plus does everything right. Opting for the industry-standard tried-and-tested combo of carbon chromium steel and aviation-grade aluminum forging alloy, it doesn’t have any trouble handling long-distance rides. An IP44 water-resistance rating also puts it on par with the Turboant X7 Pro for safeguarding against splashes, although we’d still advise against riding in the rain.
Despite the obvious fact that you’ll want to spend more time riding your scooter than carrying it, it’s still handy that the SPLACH-Turbo Plus sports so many neat portability features.
Okay – so at 45 lbs, it’s not light, per se. However, the Plus does flaunt foldable handlebars and a telescopic stem, which – by retracting it via a simple quick-release lever – allows you to reduce the scooter’s overall size, making it easy to pack up and stow away. The telescopic stem has the added benefit of making the scooter’s handlebar height customizable, too, which is ideal if it’s going to be shared between different members of your family.
When it comes to safety, it derives its stopping power from a pair of mechanical drum brakes, which bring you to a halt from a speed of 15 mph within 3.2 meters (which is very good).
While drum brakes aren’t the best of their kind (it would have been nice to see SPLACH push the boat out, and equip the Turbo Plus with disc brakes), they’re about standard for scooters in this price class, and we see them on a bunch of other models like the VSETT 8 and INOKIM Quick 4. Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that the Plus boasts dual brakes – some similarly-priced scooters, like the EMOVE Touring, come equipped with just a single brake, which provides inferior braking performance.
With the number of inner-city miles you’ll be covering, you’ll be passing plenty of people – so it’s nice to give them something to look at as you ride by. And no – we’re not talking about you. Rather, it’s your Turbo Plus that’ll be turning the heads of nearby pedestrians. With aquamarine-accented swingarms providing a cool, colorful counterpoint to the main frame’s matt-black finish, the Turbo Plus cuts a fashionable figure. If you’re riding at night, that style factor will multiply, as the deck-located button lights, stem-hugging LED strip, and turn signals wink into life.
Remember, though, style doesn’t always equate to safety, and it’s always worth investing in an extra headlight if you’re heading out after dark. This is particularly important when you consider the top speed (26 mph) and zippy acceleration rate (0 to 15 mph in 4.1 seconds) that the Turbo Plus is capable of. With a maximum power output of 800W, the Plus isn’t short of bite – this is one long-range scooter that means business.
Apollo Ghost
- Speed: 34 mph
- Weight: 64 lbs
- Load: 300 lbs
Range Stats:
- Maximum Range (Low Speed): 39 miles
- Realistic Range (High Speed): 25 miles
The Good:
- Superb bang for your buck
- High-quality Dynavolt battery
- Rapid acceleration
- Supports a large amount of rider weight
- Comes from a brand renowned for build quality
- Adjustable dual spring suspension
- Has an IP54 water-resistance rating
The Bad:
- Lacks a headlight
Summary:
A hauntingly good combination of range, speed, and oh-so-classy style, the Ghost is packed with features and fun. Powerful but practical, the Ghost can deliver rides of up to 39 miles and sports a lean, stripped-back aesthetic that endears it to a wide range of riders.
Boasting the kind of build, ride, and design quality we expect from Apollo, the Ghost doesn’t disappoint – although its speed might be too ferocious for first-timers.
Why We Recommend It:
When Apollo releases a scooter, we sit up and take note. After all, this is the same Canada-based team of aficionados responsible for the Air Pro, City, and Explore – not to mention the Ghost’s fellow long-range model, the Phantom, which is coming up next.
Like Kaabo and Dualtron, Apollo has cornered the mid-range electric scooter market with well-built, intelligently designed models – and the Ghost is a prime example. Sporting an aluminum frame and fenders for increased wheel protection, the Ghost also safeguards itself (and your warranty) from harm with an IP54 water-resistance rating, which screens the Ghost’s exterior from the damage that mud, puddles, dust, and rain can all cause.
Despite the common DNA the Ghost shares with the aforementioned Apollo models, its gut-wrenching power and gliding wraith-like ride experience make it a far more serious, well-rounded proposition than the Air, City, and Explore. Driven conservatively, the Ghost offers a maximum travel distance of 39 miles. However, if you ride consistently in the highest power setting – and flick between full acceleration and leisurely exploration – you’re likely to see around 25 miles.
The reason for the Ghost’s exceptional range lies in the quality of its build – specifically, the Dynavolt cells that the 52V 18.2Ah battery comes armed with. Not only does this specific type of battery deliver a performance that’s on a level with LG cells (the industry’s leaders), you’ll also only find Dynavolt cells exclusively on models in the Apollo line. In fact, this kind of cell is more commonly found in motorcycles – which should give you some indication as to just how souped-up they are.
The Apollo Ghost takes around 12 hours to charge – if you’re using a single standard charger, that is. Plugging in an extra standard charger (there are two ports, located along the side of the deck) will slash this time in half.
Alternatively, you can invest in a fast charger for a similarly rapid turnaround time. Just remember to avoid a ‘mix and match’ approach – using a standard charger at the same time as a fast one can damage your battery in the long term, so it’s best avoided. Get the Ghost’s charging right, and your scooter will last for around 600 charging cycles – meaning if you charged it three times a week, it’d be four years before you’d even need to think about replacing the battery.
Predictably, the rest of the Apollo Ghost is built as capably as its battery. Stopping power comes courtesy of dual disc brakes, which – supported by a customizable regenerative brake – will bring you to a stop in 3.4 meters from 15 mph, and roughly 7.0 meters from 25 mph. For an additional $150, upgrading to hydraulic brakes will equip your Ghost with an extra shot of stopping power, and shave 0.4 meters off your 15 mph braking distance.
A longer-range means you’re going to be spending more time standing on the deck – so it’s a good thing this scooter has you covered in the comfort department.
Unlike the Apollo Explore, which is equipped with fixed springs, the Ghost pairs an adjustable spring suspension system with plush 10-inch pneumatic tires.
Alongside the swingarm design, this combination of components allows for an increased amount of travel. This allows the Ghost to effectively soak up not only the surface imperfections of urban terrain, but the vagaries of dirt tracks, forest trails, and hiking paths, too – all while protecting your joints from any unwanted jarring sensations.
On top of this, the Apollo Ghost is compatible with an optional seat attachment. Oddly enough, this isn’t Apollo branded – conversely, you’ll have to reappropriate the seat for the Zero 10X – but its padded leather is easy on your posterior. There’s no drilling or DIY know-how required, either – just the tightening of a few screws. You can get your mitts on this seat attachment for a budget-friendly $105.
With the wealth of balance and stability that the Ghost’s suspension (and ample standing room of its deck) provides, you’re guaranteed a comfortable ride. The Ghost can also support up to 300 lbs of rider weight – a capacity bettered by not many other models – which makes it ideal for heavier riders. Still, it’s worth bearing in mind that if you sit closer to the top end of this weight limit, your average range will suffer.
With all the extra miles the Ghost offers, you might find yourself out and about after the sun goes down. Don’t sweat it, though – the scooter offers some serious lighting to guide you through those nighttime excursions. With low-mounted dual LEDs in both the front and the rear supplementing slick LED strips down both sides of the deck, the Ghost has an otherworldly glow that’s bright enough to keep you visible and safe.
If ghosts are good at anything, it’s making themselves disappear. And, funnily enough, this is something the Apollo Ghost does quite nicely, too. With its clever collapsible handlebars and a neatly folding, intuitive stem locking mechanism, you’ll find your Ghost blending into the shadows of your car trunk or closet.
When it’s out of storage, though, you’ll find no such inconspicuousness from this voracious scooter. Fuelled by dual 800W motors, the Ghost can reach speeds of up to 34 mph. Its acceleration rate is equally enthusiastic, too – it’ll reach 15 mph in as little as 2.3 seconds, and hit 25 mph in just 3 more.
All that means that the Apollo Ghost isn’t just a long-range scooter – it’s also one of the quickest in its price bracket. While this will likely exclude less experienced riders, the Ghost’s electrifying pace is sure to quench even the most adventurous scooter lover’s thirst for speed.

Summary:
One of the most anticipated scooters – and for good reason – the Apollo Phantom dials up the range, speed, and stakes of its little bro, the Ghost.
With 40 miles of range, a quadruple suspension system, and a blueprint influenced by the clamorings of Apollo’s vocal fanbase, the Phantom is more than a set of wheels – it’s the harbinger of a truly next-gen scooter experience.
Why We Recommend It:
Like the look of the Apollo Ghost, but fancy something with a slightly longer range, more power, more premium specs, and a more luxurious finish? Say no more – because the Apollo Phantom will up your alley.
Of course, all that extra quality doesn’t come cheap – and the extra $600 outlay (compared to the Apollo Ghost) will, quite frankly, only score you a single mile of range more. On the face of it, that doesn’t look a great deal – at least, until you take a closer look at the Phantom’s battery. While it uses the same type of unique, innovative Dynavolt cells as the Ghost, the Phantom boasts a 52V 23.4Ah battery, outstripping its little brother’s 52V 18.2Ah unit. This, ultimately, lends itself to a longer realistic range.
Like the Ghost, the Phantom’s battery has up to 600 charge cycles in its locker, and – providing you’ve either got two standard chargers plugged in, or are using the fast variety – can be fully juiced up within just 6 hours.
Alright, so it’s clear that the Phantom has more than a little in common with the Ghost. So why does the more recently released Phantom cost so much more?
There are a bunch of reasons, but let’s start with the Phantom’s proprietary design. The Phantom introduces a brand new HEX display panel, which takes pride of place between the scooter’s handlebars. This next-gen screen features 20 adjustable settings, which allow you to customize the display’s brightness, start style, and measurement units, as well as tinker with the strength of the Phantom’s acceleration and electric brake.
The HEX display also does everything you’d expect it to. It offers insights into your speed, riding mode, and range. But it’s the latter we’re most interested in here – more specifically, the predicted mileage feature.
It can estimate (with uncanny accuracy) the number of miles you’ve got left before your battery dies. This isn’t just a super handy feature on long journeys, but – to put it into perspective – isn’t something we’ve seen on any other scooter, period…even after reviewing over 140 of them.
Even just a passing glance at the Apollo Phantom is enough for its pedigree to shine through. With gently curving, ergonomic handlebars and a seductive black and gray color palette, this thing oozes class. Its lighting array is better than most other models we’ve reviewed, too – the Phantom sports a super-bright 1000W-lumen headlight and a couple of front deck lights, as well as a dedicated brake light and turn signals at the rear.
Mercifully, though, the Phantom never overlooks the basics. A wide, silicone-coated deck, sturdy aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame, and chunky tires provide the requisite sturdiness. As for the tires, they play an important role in the Phantom’s shock absorption setup – so let’s unpack them a little more.
At 10 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide, it’d be easy to dismiss the Phantom’s pneumatic tires as too chunky – or as a little too clumsy for the needs of everyday riding. Such a blanket suggestion, however, would overlook a key aspect of their functionality. With a slightly deeper, more rugged tread than your average racing tire, the Phantom’s wheels are designed to soak up the stresses of more strenuous surfaces; to deal not only with the predictable paved paths of the city but with forest trails and less well-maintained roads, too.
We’ve talked at length already about how the Phantom is a poster child for Apollo’s famous innovation – but with the quadruple suspension, the company has outdone itself.
Yep, you heard that right – a never-seen-before, hype-worthy, delirium-inducing quadruple shock system that blows everything else out of the water. Four springs – all facing downward at a 45-degree angle – combine with swingarms that allow for plenty of travel. These springs also come equipped with a rubber bushing at their base to absorb some of the bouncing action, meaning the Phantom’s suspension never feels too springy or spongey.
Wave goodbye to vibrating wrists, rattling arms, and shaking knees. Say hello to smooth rides.
Safe rides, too. The Phantom comes kitted out with a strong set of dual mechanical disc brakes, which provide stopping power that’s on a par with the Ghost (3.0 – 3.4 meters from 15 mph). There’s also a regenerative brake, which you can customize the intensity of to your liking. This works to feed the kinetic energy from the motors back into the brake and is a more effective, energy-conscious way to stop.
Since getting your hands on the Phantom will mean that you’ve already paid an extra $600 to trade up from the Ghost, spending even more to upgrade its brakes doesn’t sound all that palatable. But trust me – it’s worth it. For an extra $150, you can swap out the Phantom’s discs for hydraulics, and with it obtain the ability to stop on a dime.
As we touched on earlier, the Phantom doesn’t add much in the way of range compared to what its predecessor was capable of. What it does add, however, is speed. The Phantom can hit a top velocity of 38 mph, a whole 4 mph more than the Ghost. Again, we can trace this back to the numbers – the Phantom’s dual 1200W motors dwarf the Ghost’s 800W, providing a peak output of 3200W. That doesn’t make the Phantom any better at climbing hills, though – like the Ghost, it can scale inclines of up to 25 degrees.
Ultimately, the Phantom is the result of a huge amount of research, customer feedback, and extensive stress testing, with the final product screaming pioneering refinement. Its specs are to-die-for and its understated aesthetic gives it a stylish, slick edge that will appeal to anyone with a passion for electric scooters. Available for $2,099, the Phantom is ideal for anyone seeking cutting-edge tech – and a whole lot of miles to show it off.
Mantis Pro SE (18.2Ah) 2022
- Speed: 40 mph
- Weight: 65 lbs
- Load: 330 lbs
Range Stats:
- Maximum Range (Low Speed): 45 miles
- Realistic Range (High Speed): 33 miles
The Good:
- Superb value for money
- Fully hydraulic brakes provide serious stopping power
- Exquisite design, build, and ride quality
- All-new high-mounted headlight and turn signals
- Reinforced jagged stem design adds durability
- Sports a MiniMotors EY3 display and throttle
The Bad:
- No water-resistance rating
- Short rear fender allows mud to splash up your back
Summary:
Displacing the original Mantis Pro – which previously laid claim to the coveted 45-50 mile spot on this list – is the new-and-improved Pro ‘SE’ (Special Edition). And special it is, keeping all the original Pro’s long-range, but seasoning it with style and an improved design.
With the 2022 edition throwing even more upgrades into the mix – and a 24.5Ah battery providing top-tier endurance – the Mantis Pro SE is an edition you won’t want to miss.
Why We Recommend It:
How would you like to own a long-range scooter that’s considered to be one of the best and most reliable models money can buy? Well, make way for the Mantis Pro SE – a powerful scooter that lets its performance do the talking.
Designed as a fresh twist on the original Mantis Pro, the SE offers improved build quality on its predecessor, while also jazzing up its aesthetics. The original Pro’s white deck-embedded strip lighting gets an electric blue makeover, while red springs and gold swingarms imbue the SE with a refreshingly regal quality.
With that in mind, this bad boy will appeal to riders who want a scooter with a little more poise and personality than the average model. Range, too – because whether you need to ride conservatively for 45 miles, tackle bumpy off-road terrain, or burn rubber on the asphalt, the Pro has it all.
And of course, it’s that range that we’re most interested in. The Pro SE’s impressive 45-mile maximum capacity – which under realistic conditions, with both motors engaged, is more like 33 miles – comes from its high-quality battery. The Pro SE’s battery is also made of best-in-class LG cells, which is good news – LG is leading the charge when it comes to battery performance, so you can be guaranteed total satisfaction in this area.
Still, what’s not so satisfying is the long wait time you’ll be saddled with when it’s time to plug in and recharge – around 12 hours, to be precise. You can avoid this by purchasing a fast charger separately – it’ll cost more, but compensate by slashing your charging time in half.
Another reason the Mantis Pro SE model is capable of delivering such staggering levels of range is the huge 24.5Ah LG battery lurking inside its deck. This allows the SE to provide mileage that’s on a par with the original Pro – a scooter well-known for its distance credentials – and an extra 5 miles of range than the 18.2Ah version of the Mantis Pro SE. Plus, the battery is protected by a smart battery management system, which helps ensure the scooter’s longevity by preventing it from overheating.
Even the fact that the battery is located inside its deck is a huge drawcard. Not only does a battery of this size help add weight and stability to the deck, but it makes it easier to unscrew and lift out, should you need to replace or repair it. Handily, the rubber matting coating on the Pro SE’s deck isn’t stuck down fully, either, which makes it easier to get access to the battery.
Of course, all that’s worth not a jot unless a scooter is comfortable – so what kind of ride experience does the Pro SE offer?
The short answer is an excellent one. With dual springs you can expect a smooth ride from the word go. Operating in an alliance with the 10-inch tires – which make for nimble steering and superb handling, without compromising your balance – its adjustable suspension system will insulate you from all the potholes and pitfalls of less well-paved pathways. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can tinker with the SE’s tightly-packed (and vividly colored) red coils; setting the pre-load to fit your body weight, and to reflect the kind of terrain you’ll be going toe to toe with.
Ultimately, the superior levels of ride quality mean you’ll never be disappointed when you reach your destination. Spending 45 miles riding this thing certainly won’t feel like a chore – especially if you give your trigger finger a rest, and settle into cruise control mode.
There’s no need to worry about this scooter falling apart, either – the Mantis Pro SE is built from a sturdy, stress-tested aluminum alloy, and is a product of years of innovation in Kaabo’s labs. Better still, the most recent 2022 version adds several features that improve the Pro SE’s overall design in spades. It ups the ante with an all-new high-mounted headlight and turn signals, while upgrading the cockpit’s button console with LEDs, making it more tactile and responsive.
Better still, the Pro SE’s optimized design means it isn’t plagued by the bolt length and shearing issues that the original Pro suffered from. If there is cause for irritation here, it’s in the fact that the Pro SE comes without any form of IP water-resistance rating – so if it’s wet out, you’re better off keeping your Pro SE in.
Finally, it’s not just the Mantis Pro SE’s range that steals the show, but its speed, too. Boasting powerful motors – each with a nominal output of 1000W – the Pro SE can hit speeds of up to 40 mph, easily keeping pace with inner-city traffic. Still, it never loses sight of the safety – and fully hydraulic, hand-operated Zoom disc brakes will bring you to a stop from 15 mph in just 3.0 meters.
Plus, with an astonishingly rapid acceleration – it can hit 15 mph in 2.0 seconds, and 25 mph in 4.1 – the SE is also a profoundly powerful piece of machinery and will make short work of 30-degree inclines. However, maximum acceleration and regular hill-climbs are sure-fire ways to drain your battery faster – so luckily, there’s a solution.
With the Mantis Pro SE’s single motor mode – accessible via the new-and-improved button console we touched on earlier – you can get the best of both worlds. Riding in this setting only engages one motor – lowering your power consumption and helping you to go further, while still allowing you to reach a zippy 30 mph. If you need an extra burst of speed, you can toggle into dual motor mode for maximum output and let rip.

Summary:
The undisputed champion of long-distance drag racing (at least until the upgraded GT version came along), the Wolf King is a vision in metallic gold. Fortifying its 50-mile range with intense power and speed – and virtually unparalleled build quality – the King provides a seriously super-sized riding experience.
With comparable specs to scooters that are double its price, the Wolf King is an absolute steal – and deserving of its place as the monarch of the electric scooter market.
Why We Recommend It:
Long-range scooters aren’t for lengthy, leisurely pursuits alone. Nope – there’s a handful of models reserved for extreme performance.
They lurk in the darkness – fangs bared, ready to pounce into action. And when they leap, they leave a blazing trail of wide-open jaws in their wake.
Enter the Wolf King – a name that means we’re entering the pointy end of our long-range scooter rankings. With a commanding dual tubular stem design, distinctive gold paintwork, and brutal build, the Wolf King looks the part – but the real value lies under its hood. This bad boy packs a 72V 28Ah LG battery unit – as we know, the industry’s most reliable – which gives it a maximum range of 50 miles. If you’re riding with both motors engaged, however (and killing that throttle) you can realistically expect closer to 35 miles.
If you were hoping for a little more range, fear not. The Wolf King GT – the new-and-improved edition of the classic we know and love, which you’ll find dominating our 70-75-mile range bracket a few scrolls away – delivers up to 70 miles.
However, the GT is almost $600 more than the original King, so – if you want more mileage, but for less outlay – the Wolf Warrior also offers 70 miles of ride distance, at a price point that’s an alluringly $200 cheaper than the King. For an even more budget-friendly ride, the Wolf Warrior X Pro – which is coming up next in our rankings – is available for a whole $1,000 less than the Wolf King, and provides 10 more miles of range.
But back to the scooter at hand. Handily, the Wolf King comes with two charging ports to make getting back out on the road fast. Using double chargers (one fast and one standard) will recharge your Wolf King in just 5 hours – particularly impressive given the travel time that the King delivers.
That said, the King isn’t just about range – functionally, it serves an important purpose, and is one of the industry’s best as far as overall toughness is concerned.
Duplicating the much-loved dual stem of the Wolf Warrior, the IPX4-certified frame is built from a similarly high-performance aluminum, designed to meet the demands of long-range, off-road riding with ease. You can travel in confidence knowing that your scooter can match your appetite for adventure stride for stride while staying safe in the knowledge that the King’s enormous 11 x 3.5-inch pneumatic racing tires will brace you from the jarring impact of the trail.
More adventurous terrain not your thing? No problem. Voro Motors – the best place to buy the Wolf King in the U.S. – offers your choice of street or off-road tires at checkout (or you can splurge, and buy both). Before you hit the big ‘Buy’ button, you can also take your pick between the Wolf King’s classic extroverted gold paint job, and a more understated, classy midnight black.
Regardless of the color scheme you’ve chosen, your King will arrive fitted with a durable EY3 display on its handlebars. As well as filling you in on your ride data and mileage, this display screen/finger throttle hybrid allows you to unlock a deeper level of customization with its array of P-settings. You can change your start mode, alter your torque strength, and initiate cruise control – all features that’ll come in handy on high-speed, long-distance rides.
Remember, the King is a Kaabo scooter – so durability is guaranteed. Forged from a 6082 aluminum alloy, the King shares its frame with the same substance used to build bridges, cranes, and other highly stressed, heavy-duty structures. Consider too the hydraulic systems powering both the motorcycle-grade inverted shock absorbers and front and rear brakes, and its pedigree is palpable.
Of course, this kind of sturdy construction has its downsides – most notably in its enormous 105 lb bulk. The Wolf King is not a portable scooter – period. But given that it has an extensive mileage, you’re unlikely to need to carry this tank anywhere – so we’ll give it a pass on that score.
The beefy profile of the King also makes it accessible to riders weighing up to 400 lbs. This is the highest load-bearing capacity of all other scooters in our 140+ database, beating the EMOVE Cruiser (352 lbs) to the top spot.
As a result, the Wolf King is perfect for heavier riders who want a slice of the long-range pie. Be warned, though – the more weight a scooter carries, the harder the battery and motors will have to work to compensate. If this is the case, it’s likely you won’t quite reach the advertised top range, although there’ll still be enough power to keep the wheels rolling for extensive rides.
A quick word on power. The Wolf King’s maximum 6270W output from its massive dual 1500W motors gives it a – quite frankly ridiculous – acceleration rate of 0-15 mph in 1.9 seconds, and 30 mph in 4.9. Pair this with a level of torque specifically designed to tear up even the steepest hills (45 degrees), and you’ll be glad that the King comes with some of the best brakes on the market.

Summary:
Boasting a whopping 60 miles of range, the Wolf Warrior X Pro’s no stranger to long distances – but range is just the beginning.
A more affordable alternative to the original Wolf Warrior 11+ – and far easier to handle than the Wolf King – the X Pro is a nimble, compact, feature-rich scooter that’s more than capable of going toe to toe with the big boys.
Why We Recommend It:
To understand the X Pro’s true long-range credentials, it’s useful to first get to grips with how this recent model stacks up against its forefathers in the Wolf range.

As you can see, the Wolf Warrior X Pro’s 60 miles of range represents an improvement over the X but falls a little short of the 70 miles the original 11+ provides. This is down to the smaller 28Ah battery of the X Pro vs the 35Ah of the original 11+. The X Pro’s battery does enable longer rides than its 21Ah counterpart in the regular X, though. It’s also superior thanks to its LG cells. LG-enabled batteries are the industry’s best – far superior to the Chinese FST cells found in the Wolf Warrior X – and guarantee your battery’s health and longevity.
Sure – for those seeking truly titanic levels of mileage, the Wolf Warrior 11+’s 70-mile range offers an undeniably strong pull. However, it’s worth resisting the temptation to shell out for the 11+, for several reasons. The thing with the original Warrior is:
- It’s $1,000 more expensive than the Wolf Warrior X Pro
- It has an awkward, clumsy folding mechanism
- It’s 22 lbs heavier
- It takes 3 hours longer to charge
- Its larger tires and bulkier frame make it less nimble
With all this in mind, the Wolf Warrior X Pro emerges not only as our top long-range scooter pick for the 55-60 mile bracket but as the strongest contender in the Wolf Warrior range. Better build quality and a souped-up LG battery mean that the X Pro is superior to the regular X, while its size and versatility make it a more compact and portable version of the original Wolf Warrior 11+.
Considering its more affordable price point against the original Wolf Warrior, it’d be easy to assume that the X Pro cuts corners from a design or build quality standpoint. After all, you get what you pay for, right?
In the X Pro’s case, that couldn’t be further from the truth. This bad boy retains all the elements that made the original Wolf Warrior such a hit. Aluminum alloy make up the frame, while reinforced steel has been used for the shaft. At the scooter’s summit sits the durable, dynamic EY3 console – which doubles as both a finger throttle and display screen – as well as tactile button controls and a motorcycle-grade horn.
In addition to making sure traffic can hear you, the Wolf Warrior X Pro guarantees that you’ll be seen, too.
The scooter’s seductive lighting display merges style with substance: powerful dual headlights light the road ahead while customizable RGB lighting projects your personality onto the pathway. You can tailor these dual, deck-embedded strips of ambient lighting to your personal preferences via an intuitive mobile app – which we love. Turn signals and hazard lights further help you to negotiate traffic.
The build quality we’ve come to feel entitled to from Kaabo also manifests itself in two of the Wolf Warrior X Pro’s key attributes: braking and suspension.
The X Pro delivers a three-pronged approach to stopping power, with a regenerative brake and intelligent ABS (anti-locking braking system) providing reinforcements to the scooter’s Zoom hydraulics. Fitted with 140mm discs (only slightly smaller than those on the Wolf Warrior 11+), the X Pro is, surprisingly, able to provide superior stopping power to its big bro. Carrying 22 lbs less weight than the 11+ – and less momentum – the X Pro improves on its bulky sibling’s stopping power by almost half a meter (0.4 meters).
For a scooter of the X Pro’s price point and pedigree, we’d expect nothing less than hydraulic suspension – and the X Pro delivers with aplomb. With front dual stem hydraulic suspension joining forces with spring polyurethane shock absorption technology at the rear, you’re able to take on both on and off-road terrain with confidence.
The X Pro’s tires, of course, play their part. Sporting a 10-inch profile that’s more agile than their 11-inch counterparts on the original Wolf Warrior, these tires offer comfort in spades. You won’t get quite as much shock absorption as an 11-inch tire model, but – considering the benefits you’ll instead get in manageability and maneuverability – we doubt you’ll mind.
For those wanting a scooter with plenty of power to go with a long-range, the Wolf Warrior X Pro doesn’t disappoint. Its dual 60V 1100W motors can tackle slopes of up to 35 degrees, while also packing punchy torque to score you 43 mph of top speed.
Acceleration-wise, the X Pro goes 0 to 15 mph in just 2.2 seconds and can reach 25 mph in 4.7. While this pales when compared to the acceleration rates that the larger motors of the X Pro’s closest rivals can provide – namely, the VSETT 10+ (25.6Ah) and the Wolf Warrior 11+ – it’s still startlingly fast, and we recommend it only for experienced riders.

Summary:
Pound for pound, no scooter offers more range than the 62 miles of the EMOVE Cruiser. Priced at a bargain-basement $1,399, the Cruiser offers value in every department.
Not only does it support a near industry-topping rider weight, but its foldable handlebars and telescopic stem make it portable. An optional seat attachment offers extra comfort on long rides, while large springs and air shocks deliver a riding experience that is perfectly primed for urban terrain.
Why We Recommend It:
As we get closer towards the end of this list – and the truly titanic ranges in it – so too do the price tags tend to inflate.
More mileage, of course, doesn’t come cheap – or does it?
With the EMOVE Cruiser, it does. With a 52V 30Ah LG battery equipping this scooter with a 62-mile range that most scooters can only dream of, the Cruiser is a rare, beautiful anomaly in the electric scooter world – a long-range model that’s affordable.
Not only is the Cruiser’s extended range super convenient, but it’s great news for your battery. Charging it less frequently will prolong your battery’s health, and help extend its shelf life for many rides to come. When your battery does run dry, a full recharge can take between 9 and 12 hours – which, all things considered, isn’t too bad.
Every facet of the Cruiser’s build has been engineered specifically to provide a long-range. Even the battery pack is protected, courtesy of a smart battery management system. By regulating the amount of electricity flowing in and out of the Cruiser’s battery, this savvy system helps guard against the perils of overheating and overcharging and aids the long-term prospects of your scooter’s insides.
Helpfully, you’ll always have a near-granular insight into how much ride time your Cruiser has left, thanks to a neat battery voltage meter. Affixed to the right-hand side of the handlebars, this voltmeter gets you to grips with your battery life: helping you to avoid running out when you’re on the go, and relegating range anxiety.
Here’s a quick rundown of what the numbers you’ll see on your voltmeter equate to for a 52V scooter like the Cruiser:
| Battery Percentage | Voltmeter Reading |
|---|---|
| 100% | 58.8 |
| 90% | 57.1 |
| 80% | 55.4 |
| 70% | 53.8 |
| 60% | 52.1 |
| 50% | 50.4 |
| 40% | 48.7 |
| 30% | 47.0 |
| 20% | 45.4 |
| 10% | 43.7 |
| 0% | 42.0 |
The EMOVE Cruiser comes with a wealth of extra features. A QS-S4 device displays your speed, riding mode, and distance, and includes an odometer for keeping tabs on your all-time riding stats. A key-start ignition is handy for deterring thieves, while a comprehensive LED setup and turn signals help you stay safe in traffic.
But the features we love most are the ones most relevant for keeping you comfortable on the long rides you’ll be enjoying.
Firstly, there’s the Cruiser’s (aptly-named) cruise control. This feature – which you can access by navigating to setting P17 on the scooter’s QS-S4 display – allows you to travel at a constant speed, without having to engage the finger throttle in perpetuity.
Secondly, there’s the Cruiser’s optional seat attachment, which you can get your hands on for $65, and your bum on after just four simple steps of installation. Large, plush, and comfortable, the seat is essential – particularly if you’re planning to milk your Cruiser for the maximum heights of its 62-mile range.
The EMOVE Cruiser backs up its impressive mileage and comfortability credentials with its safety and suspension setups, too. Its front and rear 140mm semi-hydraulic brakes – which you’ll observe on just a slim handful of scooters in the Cruiser’s price class – give it a laudable braking distance of just 3.4 meters from 15 mph.
As for shock absorption, this comes courtesy of large springs at the front of the Cruiser, which – when paired with the air shocks at the rear – offer superb levels of ride quality (even if they aren’t, sadly, adjustable). Plus, the Cruiser’s pneumatic car-grade tires – which, with a whopping profile of 10 inches, are as large as those on some of the electric scooter industry’s top models – offer lots to love in the way of shock absorption.
When it comes to durability, it’s made up of a dependable aluminum alloy and sturdy steel, with rubber, grip tape, and reinforced plastic for cosmetic finishes. The scooter also folds in half via a particularly intuitive, secure S-knob mechanism, while collapsible handlebars and a telescopic stem – which allows you to adjust the handlebar height for multiple riders – outline this scooter’s portability properties.
Unlike some of the top models on this list, the Cruiser also comes with an IPX6 water-resistance rating, so it can safely withstand subpar environmental conditions. The Cruiser also supports up to 352 lbs of weight, which – second only to the Wolf King’s 400 lbs payload – is a near industry best.
Considering its price tag, the EMOVE Cruiser punches well above its weight when it comes to range – although we can’t say the same for its speed. The Cruiser’s 30 mph top speed outshines just 17% of the 12 long-range scooters in our rankings, while its single 52V 1000W motor lacks the same power and pace as the market’s dual-motor alternatives.
The downsides of having a single motor are also apparent when it comes to hill climbing. Although the Cruiser can handle slopes with a 20-degree incline grade – more than enough for the majority of inclines – the lack of a motor in both wheels makes for slower slope-scaling. For context, the Cruiser can take on Filbert Street – one of San Francisco’s steepest inclines, which has a gradient of 17.5 degrees – but it’ll do it far more sluggishly than dual motor-equipped scooters would.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that isn’t comparable to San Francisco, the Cruiser is an excellent long-range scooter.

Summary:
Combining power, speed, and range – all wrapped up in a beautifully exotic exterior – the INOKIM OxO delivers on every front. Every component has been purpose-built to work seamlessly together, giving the OxO dependability and durability reminiscent of its (almost) namesake, the ox.
With an affordable price, sublime adjustable rubber suspension, and a high-functioning hydraulic braking system all sweetening the deal, the OxO is one powerhouse you won’t want to miss out on.
Why We Recommend It:
Do you want an extra-long 68 mile range? Smooth, gradual acceleration up to a max of 40 mph? How about luxurious, buttery-smooth ride quality – with sharp braking power to match?
If that description has got you smacking your lips and rubbing your palms together with anticipation, listen up – because the INOKIM OxO might just be the scooter you’ve been searching for.
If the name rings a bell, that’s probably because you may already be acquainted with the INOKIM Ox – the OxO’s little brother. With the OxO, though, INOKIM has ratcheted up the dial even further to boost the power and range of the original model, all without compromising the ride quality, intuitive handling, and quality design it’s known for.
Fuelled by a powerful LG Li-ion battery, the INOKIM OxO offers 68 miles of range off a single charge – a noticeable 12 more miles than its predecessor. Of course, that’s in ‘optimal’ conditions. Realistically, it’s going to be difficult not to enjoy the top speed this scooter packs, meaning you can expect a realistic range in the region of 45 miles.
Luckily, the OxO’s been built to cater to the demands of these kinds of long-distance rides. Its foot deck is wide enough to provide excellent balance and ensure a comfortable stance, while its ergonomically-shaped handlebars, kickplate, and premium brakes render it a solid, stable ride. Perhaps the OxO’s only drawback – from a comfort perspective, at least – is the lack of a grippy material covering its deck. Instead of enjoying traction-inclined silicone or grip tape, your feet will be forced to grapple with a hard plastic surface, which isn’t ideal in wet conditions.
The less patient riders out there will likely take issue with the INOKIM OxO’s charge time, too. The OxO requires being plugged in for around 12-14 hours to reach a full charge – longer than a lot of the other distance-designed scooters we’ve reviewed in this list.
This is a shame, but it’s no deal-breaker – particularly as there are several ways in which you can preserve the OxO’s battery. Toggling the handy button positioned beneath the scooter’s left handgrip, for instance, lets you swap between its single and dual motor modes. This enables you to hit those fizzing top speeds when you need to and swap that thrill for prolonged battery life when a slower pace will suffice.
Purchasing an electric scooter is a serious investment. And everyone wants their investments to last, right?
Luckily for you, the OxO is easy to care for. Sporting both a generous warranty and a solid reputation to back it up, you’ll be able to get the most out of your scooter for years to come. All of the OxO’s features enable easy maintenance, too. Its single-sided swingarms, for instance (the arms that connect the wheels to the mainframe, enabling the scooter to travel up and down in response to the suspension system), make wheel maintenance a cinch.
Similarly, the OxO – like all INOKIM scooters – is vertically integrated. This means that, rather than pilfering parts from multiple manufacturers, INOKIM owns every single component. Pair this with the 12-month warranty and it makes any repair or replacement required a breeze to obtain.
INOKIM also uses CNC (computerized numerical control) manufacturing, meaning each of its components has been forged from a single piece of stress-tested aluminum alloy. Technical stuff aside, this is responsible for the precision finish – with no welding, there are no weak points.
Thankfully, the OxO retains the Ox’s smartly-designed thumb throttle. This serves to look after your hands and wrists on longer rides and reduces the fatigue of having to keep your finger in a claw-like position for 68 miles. The OxO also hangs onto its predecessor’s uniquely designed rear tire hugger – keeping you dry on long, muddy rides – and its innovative two-step suspension system. The lower setting is ideal for riding at faster speeds; the higher setting provides more travel, resulting in superb clearance.
But, as we alluded to earlier, the OxO doesn’t simply keep the Ox’s good stuff – it improves on it. In contrast to the Ox’s single motor, the OxO features two near-silent 60V 1000W brushless motors that deliver a fast top speed of 40 mph and 25-degree hill-climbing capability. This is a serious step up from its younger sibling, but it must be noted that the OxO has a relatively sluggish acceleration rate compared to like-for-like dual-motor scooters. However, the throttle response picks up once you gather momentum.
If you happen to find your speed getting away from you, there’s nothing to worry about – INOKIM has you covered. The OxO is outfitted with best-in-class front and rear hydraulic brakes that deliver highly responsive braking power on all terrain. With even the slightest pull on the brake levers, the OxO will respond, giving you precise control over your speed.
Power and speed are great, but what’s exciting about this scooter is its versatility. INOKIM has equipped the OxO with everything it needs to provide superior ride quality: whether you’re going off-road, on an urban adventure, or cruising your routine commute route.
In addition to pulling their weight in the shock absorption department, the OxO’s 10-inch pneumatic tires come in two interchangeable varieties. You can slip out the street tires that come as standard for the more adventurous knobby off-road variety.
Finally, the OxO sports LED lights at the front and rear, which – thanks to Photocell sensors in the throttle that detect when it’s dark – turn on automatically when the light wanes. These serve to illuminate the road ahead and behind you, as well as make you more visible to others. However, it’s worth noting that the lighting setup lacks flair, and won’t be winning any beauty pageants – nor is it the strongest on the market.

Summary:
One of the extreme-performance electric scooter industry’s bona fide best, the Wolf King GT achieves a difficult feat – balancing all the stuff we love about the original King with a swathe of upgraded features and build quality.
With an upgraded 72V 35Ah Samsung/LG battery, two 50Ah Sine Wave controllers, and dual 2000W motors providing 20 more miles of range, 2 mph more speed, and a faster acceleration rate than its predecessor, the GT raises the ultra-performance stakes.
Why We Recommend It:
The Wolf King GT isn’t just a wolf – it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
That’s because, to the naked eye, the GT is almost indistinguishable from the original Wolf King. After all, it sports the same metallic gold paint job, dual tubular stem design, twin headlights, and 11 x 3.5-inch tires of its trailblazing forebear.
But look a little closer, and you’ll spot the differences. The GT’s cockpit, for instance, comes with an upgraded ergonomic thumb throttle, as well as all-new Eco/Turbo buttons engineered for convenience and comfort. Taller riders, in particular, will love that the GT’s handlebars cut a profile that’s both wider and taller than their counterparts, giving you better handling and control.
Yet, of course, the most striking improvement the GT makes on the original Wolf King is in the extra 40% of range it provides.
Armed with the endurance that only a 72V 35Ah Samsung/LG battery can provide, the King GT boasts a maximum range of 70 miles – though, in realistic conditions, this will likely be closer to 53 miles. Surprisingly, this behemoth of a battery takes just a hot minute to charge – you can have your tank topped up and back on the blacktop in as little as 7 hours.
To put that range into perspective, let’s weigh the Wolf King GT’s performance alongside the first trio of scooters on this list. The GT’s range is a full 133% more than the Turboant X7 Pro (30 miles), 112% greater than the SPLACH-Turbo Plus, and will get you almost 80% further than the Apollo Ghost. The numbers don’t lie – the Wolf King GT means business.
If there’s any area of the GT’s makeup that can match its superb levels of range, though, it’s speed. The GT’s 62 mph pace is outstripped by just two models in our database of over 140 scooters: the Dualtron X 2 (68 mph) and the Dualtron Storm Limited (74.5 mph). The GT’s acceleration rate is similarly potent – it can reach 15 mph in 1.7 seconds, 25 mph in 3.0, and 50 mph in a rubber-burning 4.8 seconds.
For this kind of speed and acceleration, the GT has several facets of its build quality to thank – namely, dual 2000W motors and a pair of 50Ah Sine Wave controllers. With a peak output amounting to 8400W, the Wolf King GT is more than a match for any slopes up to 50 degrees. Considering the steepest urban incline in the world is around 19 degrees, the GT’s outstanding gradient-guzzling qualities highlight the extent to which the scooter has been built for scaling more ambitious, mountain-esque terrain.
As we know, off-roading doesn’t just require powerful motors and big batteries, but excellent suspension, too – and, like the original Wolf King before it, the GT delivers this with aplomb. After all, those inverted hydraulic front shock absorbers aren’t just for show. The King GT also sports springs at the rear, with a whopping 8 inches of deck clearance giving you a free pass to take on some jumps.
Supporting the hydraulic/spring suspension combo is the King GT’s unmissable pair of 11-inch tires. In addition to providing superlative levels of shock absorption (which you’ll need for rough off-road terrain), the GT’s tires also underline this scooter’s versatility. Both street and off-road tires are available at the checkout, meaning no type of terrain is too tough.
No conditions, either – the Wolf King GT’s bodywork is safeguarded by an IPX5 water-resistance rating. That doesn’t make the GT waterproof, of course – no scooter is – but it does offer some protection against splashes and light rain. If the skies are suggesting anything heavier, we recommend avoiding taking your GT out.
The GT also comes with all the build quality trimmings of the original model – its fortified, stress-tested alloy frame, for instance – on top of the upgraded button controls and anti-glare TFT display.
From the TFT display, you can monitor all the usual stats – speed, distance traveled, and riding mode, to name a few – and benefit from all the P-settings you’d expect from a scooter of this caliber. The display is also full color, password-protected, and comes with an auto-dimmer to save battery. Better still, it’s large – at 4.2 inches – and in the center of your view, you’ll never lose sight of what matters.
To add to the already impressive design, the GT flaunts slick under-deck lighting, turn signals, and the iconic dual headlights of the Wolf range. The GT keeps things fresh, functional, and feature-rich, while also embracing a look in keeping with its heritage and brand.

Summary:
Toting 80 miles of range, 62 mph of speed, and a brand name only ever associated with the fiercest high-performance models on the market, the Dualtron Storm has been whipping the electric scooter industry into a frenzy. And what’s not to like? With 45-step rubber suspension, kaleidoscopic swag lighting, and a removable battery, the Storm is the apotheosis of Dualtron innovation. So brace yourself – this is one Storm you won’t want to take cover from.
Why We Recommend It:
Considering that the Dualtron Storm is the joint third-fastest scooter in our database (level with the Wolf King GT, and behind fellow Dualtron models the X 2 and Storm Unlimited), it’d be easy to simply typecast the Storm as a fast model alone.
The Storm, of course, is fast – a powerful 6640W dual motor helps see to that. But to label the Storm as just a ‘fast scooter’ alone would be to overlook one of its key attributes; to miss the quality that sees it sew up the 75-80 miles title in our rankings, and the thing that makes the Storm such a forward-thinking, formidable model – its range.
Powered by a 72V 31.5AH 2268Wh LG 3500 battery, the Storm – ridden conservatively, without going too fast or too hard on the throttle – is capable of up to 80 miles off a single charge. In realistic conditions, you can expect around 48 miles. While this doesn’t quite live up to the uber-high standards set by the 100-mile range of the NAMI Burn-e Viper, it’s still extremely impressive.
However, the Dualtron Storm has an ace up its sleeve that not even the Viper can match. Yep – we’re talking about the Storm’s removable battery.
Not only does this neat design feature make routine maintenance a breeze, but – in theory, at least – it can also double your range. All you need to do is buy a spare battery and take it with you on long rides. Once you hit the Storm’s 80–mile ceiling (or less, if you’re gunning it), simply switch out the spent battery for the spare – and do it all again.
There are just a couple of drawbacks to disclose here. The first is that the deck-housed removable battery weighs 30 lbs – as much as the total weight of some commuter scooters – so it’s not the most convenient thing to have to drag around with you. However, the Storm’s battery does come with a small handle built into it, so – if you do end up having to lug it around – you’ll at least have a good handhold.
The second involves the Dualtron Storm’s seemingly interminable charge time. While plugging in two standard chargers will get you back on the road in a reasonable 10-hour timeframe, a single charger will leave you waiting for up to 21 hours. This is a far cry from the 12 hours the Storm’s main competitor, the NAMI Burn-e Viper, takes to charge – particularly when you consider that, with a second charger, the Viper can be fully juiced up in as little as 6 hours.
If you’re opting for the Storm, we recommend investing in a Dualtron fast charger – it’ll have you back in the proverbial saddle in a lightning-quick 5 hours.
Fortunately, the Storm is a Dualtron model – so you can be confident that all the stops have been pulled out to make this scooter as reliable as possible for long distances. Specialist heat sinks, for instance, surround the scooter’s battery and controllers to prevent its components from overheating. A smart battery management system provides an additional layer of protection and helps the Storm stand the test of time.
Putting the battery aside for a moment, the Storm offers durability in all corners. Built around a skeleton of aviation-grade aluminum alloy – with composite steel and reinforced polypropylene for the trimmings – this scooter will weather the storm of whatever environments you throw at it.
Sadly, that doesn’t include rain. Like most of its Dualtron brethren, the Storm is glaringly devoid of any IP water-resistance credentials. While this fact alone should be enough to dissuade you from risking the rain, there’s also the issue of the warranty. Regardless of where you buy your Storm from, any damage to the scooter that’s deemed to be a result of rain, dust, sea breeze, or salt will not be covered. You’re paying almost $4,500 for this scooter – why take a chance?
Fortunately, the Dualtron Storm saves face in most of the other aspects of its build quality. Its foldable handlebars are a featureful flourish not typically seen on such high-powered models, and its stem is mercifully free of stem wobble, too. Similarly, the luminescent, backlit EY3 display – a MiniMotors staple – provides everything you need to know about speed, mileage, and riding mode, with a host of advanced, adjustable P-settings to boot.
Let’s also not forget how much of a versatile, varied ride the Storm offers. Its 45-step adjustable suspension is of the same sort we’ve been found waxing lyrical about in our other Dualtron reviews and is currently patent pending. This suspension setup allows you to tinker with the arm angle, shaft distance, and rubber cartridges to achieve an unmatched level of ride personalization. However, you need to know a lot about scooters to effectively toggle with the Storm’s suspension – it’s not the most intuitive of processes.
Luckily, the Storm’s wheels are far easier to understand. Sporting a no-frills, no-nonsense 11-inch profile, their tubeless design cushions you from the blows of the city streets. It must be noted, though, that despite boasting a comprehensive suspension system and large tires, the shock-absorbing qualities feel stiff and so, we suggest keeping to smooth urban terrain as opposed to rock-strewn trails.

Summary:
Slithering into pole position in our long-range rankings is the NAMI Burn-e Viper, and it’s hard to argue with its spec sheet.
Boasting a battery capable of up to an industry-leading 100 miles, 60 mph of speed and intelligent, intuitive KKE suspension, the Viper is a special scooter whose venomous strike more than lives up to its top billing.
Why We Recommend It:
Ultra-performance scooters don’t get as good as the NAMI Burn-e – so there’s a lot to talk about here.
But before we get to all of that, it would be blasphemous not to begin with the reason why we’re here – the Viper’s headline-hogging, spotlight-stealing 100-mile range. Enabled by a gutsy 72V 2520Wh 35Ah Panasonic battery, the Viper lays claim to a maximum distance that’s double that of the Wolf King, and over three times that offered by the Turboant X7 Pro – the scooter we began our long-range rankings with.
The Viper also sports an eye-catching brief charge time. With two chargers connected, the Burn-e takes just 6 hours to charge. In the absence of the extra charger, it’ll take 12 hours.
A word of warning here – while a smart battery management system does offer protection from overheating, you’ll still want to avoid overcharging, where possible. For this reason, try to only leave the Viper plugged in as long as you need to – it’ll ensure your scooter lasts for many long rides to come. It’s also worth keeping an eye on the industry-leading interface to see temperature and power readouts that’ll help you monitor your scooter’s condition and prevent the motors from overheating.
On that topic, we should note that unlike similar scooters – which force you to rely on a voltmeter or battery bars to understand how much mileage you’ve got left – the Viper takes a more granular approach. The Burn-e calculates your remaining mileage based on your ride data. This feature is a particularly rare one – the only other scooter to offer such an accurate readout of your remaining range is the Apollo Phantom, which we discussed earlier.
Now, I’d normally love to use this space to compare and contrast the Viper’s range with its closest competitors in terms of price and weight. Here, however, it’s just not possible – for the simple reason that, when it comes to the Viper, there is no contest.
The closest its rivals get to the Viper’s high-powered range are the Dualtron X 2’s 93 miles, and the 80 miles of the aforementioned Dualtron Storm. The only other contender is the Dualtron Storm Limited’s insane manufacturer-stated 137-mile capabilities – though, with a whopping 11500W of peak power output, realistic mileage is far less.
All that said, to assume that the NAMI Burn-e’s century of mileage is its only pulling point would be a mistake. Like its namesake, the Viper is tough, terrifying, and terrifically fast – when you see it coming, it’s already too late.
With dual 1500W motors enabling a top speed of 60 mph, the Viper belongs to an exclusive cabal of ultra-performance scooters: a group that also includes the Wolf King GT, as well as Dualtron models such as the Storm, X 2, and Storm Limited. Also fitted with a pair of exclusively designed 50Ah Sine Wave controllers, a ‘Turbo’ mode that pumps 12% more power into the motors, and best-in-class acceleration.
The Viper hits 15 mph 11% faster than the Wolf King and Wolf Warrior, and 29% quicker than the Dualtron Storm. When we extend that out to 25 mph, those speeds stretch to 17%, 23%, and 19%, respectively – and that’s just a taste of what the Viper’s imperious acceleration rates have to offer. When it comes to tackling hills, the advertising is quiet on exactly how steep a slope the Viper can handle, although our tests show that it’s comfortable with inclines of up to 35 degrees.
With all that speed and power at your fingertips, it’s easy to get swept up and carried off in a tide of adrenaline – so it’s lucky that the Viper’s brakes are up to the task. The NUTT hydraulic brakes, which come kitted out with 160mm discs, are sharp and incisive. So much so, that – as with the brakes of the Wolf King GT, which we discussed earlier – a light touch is required to stop safely. Similarly, the Viper’s range of stem turning motion is locked to prevent you from over-rotating the handlebars and taking a spill.
Unlike several of the more sedate, commuter-oriented models on this list, the NAMI Burn-e is built to tackle all kinds of environments. Though the 11-inch pneumatic street tires it comes with are tailored to flatter, more compact surfaces, the Viper’s adjustable KKE suspension is far less picky. Best in class – and superior to the shock absorptive capabilities of any other scooter we’ve tested – these 165mm hydraulic coil-shocks soak up anything you throw at them.
Impressively, the Viper’s coil-shocks also come with a surprisingly intuitive rebound adjustment feature. Via a small circular red dial over each shock, you’ll be able to quickly and easily ratchet up or down the damping to fit the specific stipulations of the environment. And – unlike the Storm’s 45-step suspension – you won’t need a whole toolbox at your disposal to do so.
As far as design and durability are concerned, the Viper receives full marks. Its innovative carbon fiber stem eschews the classic aluminum alloy makeup favored by the rest of the electric scooter industry, and an industry-leading interface outstrips the QS-S4 and EY3 displays of the chasing pack.
What’s more, the Viper comes with twin water resistance ratings – IP55 and IP66 – that safeguard its display, cabling, and controllers from the perils of dust, debris, puddles, and precipitation. Feature-wise, a four-digit password protects your scooter from theft, while an intelligently crafted rear tire hugger protects you from mud splattering up your back while riding.
Ultimately, we could wax lyrical about the Burn-e’s litany of strengths for long-range rides – including its cruise control, hidden USB port, and luscious LED setup – all day. But we’re running out of room on the page, and – let’s face it – that 100-mile range speaks for itself.

FAQs
Which Electric Scooter Has the Longest Range?
The NAMI Burn-e Viper has the longest range of all the electric scooters in our 140+ model database. It has a jaw-dropping maximum range of 100-miles (based on a 165 lb rider, flat terrain, and keeping the scooter in its slowest speed setting). Under realistic conditions (based on a 165 lbs rider, varying terrain, and riding in the fastest setting), the NAMI Burn-e delivers 60 miles.
Which Electric Scooter is the Best for Long Distances?
Based on our 140+ database of electric scooters, hands-on testing, and years of expert knowledge, the best long-range scooters are:
- NAMI Burn-e Viper ($4,499) – 100 miles
- Dualtron Storm ($4,490) – 80 miles
- Wolf King GT ($3,595) – 70 miles
- INOKIM OxO ($2,599) – 68 miles
- EMOVE Cruiser ($1,399) – 62 miles
- Wolf Warrior X Pro ($1,995) – 60 miles
- Wolf King ($2,999) – 50 miles

- SPLACH Turbo-Plus ($999) – 33 miles
- Turboant X7 Pro ($550) – 30 miles
How Far Can You Travel on an Electric Scooter?
This depends on the type of battery. There are three areas of a battery that determine the maximum distance that you can travel, and these include:
- Power (Voltage)
- Size (Amp-hours)
- Cell type (Chinese FST, LG, Samsung, etc).
Multiplying power (Voltage) by size (Amp-hours) provides a Watt-hour (Wh) figure. Watt-hours is a way to measure the capacity of the battery and therefore gain insight into the amount of energy it holds. The higher the Wh figure, the greater the maximum range.
For instance, an entry-level scooter like the Turboant X7 Pro has a 36V 10Ah battery that holds 360Wh of energy and 30 miles of maximum range.
On the other hand, an ultra-performance scooter like that NAMI Burn-e Viper has a 72V 35Ah battery that holds 2520Wh of energy and 100 miles of maximum range.
The final component – cell type – plays an important role in how many times a battery can be recharged before its peak performance declines. Chinese FST batteries are often used by manufacturers to bring the cost of the scooter down, however, this comes at the cost of the battery not holding its peak performance for as long as higher quality LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and Dynavolt batteries. Good quality batteries, like those mentioned, typically deliver 500-600 charge cycles without compromising performance. Based on this data, if you were to charge two times a week, your battery would remain at full capacity for around 5-6 years. On the other hand, cheaper Chinese FST batteries deteriorate faster giving you around 2 years less performance compared to their higher-quality counterparts.
It's also important to note that controllers (the devices that control the flow of energy from the battery to the motors) and other factors like the payload, terrain, and speed that you travel all affect battery performance.
Plus, the maximum ranges quoted by manufacturers are based on a best-case riding scenario that often includes a 165 lb rider, flat terrain, and keeping the scooter in its slowest speed setting. Under realistic conditions, you should expect less mileage. As a rule of thumb, if you ride aggressively (i.e. at top speeds), you will see a 35-45% drop in range. This is just a fact of life when it comes to electric scooters.
How Can I Increase the Range of my Electric Scooter?
There are a couple of things you can do to make your battery last longer and improve the mileage of your electric scooter, but it mostly comes down to your riding style.
If you like to hit top speeds as often as you can, this will use more power and drastically reduce how long your battery will last. Moderating your speed and slowing down will prolong battery life, letting you ride further. For example, on most high-performance scooters you can choose the riding mode and select if you want both motors or just one engaged. Putting the scooter into the lowest speed setting with just a single motor will significantly improve range. Alternatively, if you have a need for speed, turn both motors on but keep the scooter in the slowest riding mode for more rapid acceleration curves whilst prolonging battery life.
Can You Overcharge an Electric Scooter?
As with all battery-driven electronics, electric scooters are at risk of overcharging if they’re plugged in for longer than the stated charging time. This means that in the long run, your battery won’t hold its power for as long and you’ll likely have to replace it.
Many scooters come with battery management systems to help prevent this from happening. However, it’s still important to only charge the battery when you need to and only as long as the manual states.
How Long Do Electric Scooter Batteries Last?
This depends on the scooter you choose and the battery it’s fitted with. Each battery has a different cell type.
Cell type plays an important role in how many times a battery can be recharged before its peak performance declines.
Chinese FST batteries are often used by manufacturers to bring the cost of the scooter down, however, this comes at the cost of the battery not holding its peak performance for as long as higher quality LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and Dynavolt batteries. Good quality batteries, like those mentioned, typically deliver 500-600 charge cycles without compromising performance. Based on this data, if you were to charge two times a week, your battery would remain at full capacity for around 5-6 years. On the other hand, cheaper Chinese FST batteries deteriorate faster giving you around 2 years less performance compared to their higher-quality counterparts.
Those with battery management systems will also last longer. These systems are designed to optimize battery performance by protecting against short-circuiting, overcurrent, overcharging, and over-discharging.
Why Won’t my Electric Scooter Hold a Charge?
There could be a few reasons for this, the first being that there’s a problem with the battery itself. This could be because it’s old, damaged, or needs replacing. It could also occur as a result of overcharging, which can cause the battery to lose power more quickly. On the other hand, leaving long periods between charges (3 months or more) can cause battery damage.
The problem may also lay with your charger. If it isn’t charging your scooter correctly, you aren’t getting the fresh surge of power you think you are when you connect your scooter to the mains.
In both instances, it’s best to seek professional help to diagnose the issue and take the correct steps to fix it.
How Often Should I Charge my Electric Scooter?
The amount of time varies from model to model, but the exact time for each is usually specified in the scooter’s manual. It’s important to make sure that you don’t exceed the number of hours stated as this can lead to overcharging, resulting in battery damage.
Similarly, make sure you don’t leave it too long between charges either. Even if you aren’t using your scooter, it’s important to keep the battery level topped up. Letting it drain and leaving it that way can cause just as much harm as overcharging it can.
How Much Does an Electric Scooter Battery Cost?
The cost of a battery depends on the type of battery you’re buying. Several factors affect price, including power (Voltage), size (Amp-hours), and cell type (Chinese FST, LG, Samsung, etc).
Small batteries, like those found in the Turboant X7 Pro (36V 10Ah FST), can cost as little as $200, whereas large high-quality batteries found in ultra-performance scooters, like the Wolf King (72V 28Ah LG), can cost upwards of $1,790.
When Should a Scooter Battery Be Replaced?
High-quality scooter batteries (including LG, Samsung, Panasonic, and Dynavolt) will hold their peak performance for 5-6 years (if you were to charge them twice a week). Cheap Chinese FST batteries last for 3-4 years at the same rate of usage.
Based on the data above, if you want to continue to enjoy the maximum performance your electric scooter has to offer, then it's best to replace them once the battery has begun to deteriorate. Alternatively, swap out the battery once it no longer performs beyond 75% of its peak.
Which Battery is Best For an Electric Scooter?
Lithium-ion batteries are the preferred battery for electric scooters. They deliver a superior performance thanks to their increased power and longer lifespan. You’ll find them on the majority of scooter models. The best brands available are usually those provided by big tech companies like LG or Samsung. Apollo is particularly fond of using Dynavolt batteries, which are often found on motorcycles.
You’ll find that there is an exception to the lithium-ion rule on some kids’ scooters or cheap adult models. In this case, they might use lead-acid batteries. These have a short life cycle and are cheaper.
Really great review of my favourite escooter, Wolf for life! 🙂 Cheers from Poland!
It’s a beast! Thanks for dropping a comment Delaine

I love this review, wish I could afford these.
Hi Max,
There are few cheap models out there that have decent mileage. My list of the best cheap electric scooters might help you find a scooter more in your price bracket.

I recently tested it at chile and it was POWERFUL, I reached 40km/h in a short distance very easy. I liked the build quality too.
Thank you for this review. Just ordered one.
You’re welcome Penny, glad I could help. Enjoy riding your new scooter 🙂

70 miles on single drive in eco mode from Fluid Free Ride web site.
Also, we don’t know what the speed is with these settings?
I prefer to ride at 18 mph and have the max range, so what range can we get here?
Hi Antony,
You are correct that the Wolf Warrior has a maximum mileage, under prime conditions, of 70 miles.
Eco mode limits you to about 20 mph so you should be able to take full advantage of the mileage.
Thanks, enjoy cruising around on the Wolf!

No love for the Emove Cruiser?
Hi Dan,
Great question! I’m going to be updating the page with a brand new list of the best long-range electric scooters in the next few weeks. Keep your eye’s peeled as the EMOVE Cruiser may make an appearance (spoiler alert…it does).
