Want something that you can ride for 10, 20, or — dare to dream — even up to 70 miles?
As you will have rapidly discovered, there are tons of electric scooters out there that fit these criteria. So, how do you go about choosing the best one for you?
Don’t worry. I’ve got you.
I’ve reviewed all of the top long-range electric scooters so you can skip trawling the web for hours on end. All the information you need is right here.
To make it simple, I’ve split the electric scooters into 5 groups by distance (miles): 31+, 26-30, 21-25, 16-20, and 10-15. Choose the mileage you’re looking for to narrow down your scooter options and see which comes out as the best in the category.
Or, if you’re short on time, have a look just below to see which came out on top and why:
Wolf Warrior
If you want a scooter that has the raw power to keep up with fast-moving traffic (50 mph) and a model you can rely on to get you to your destination and back again, and still have juice left to do it all over the next day (70 miles), then the Wolf Warrior is the best long-range electric scooter for you.
INOKIM Quick 3
Looking for something portable with a top-class design that’s perfect for city living and urban commutes? The INOKIM Quick 3 could be the perfect e-scooter for you. The LG battery gives a 28-mile range whilst the pneumatic tires ensure a flawless ride quality.
Horizon 13
All the perks of a premium scooter without paying top dollar, the Horizon 13 delivers a top speed of 25 mph, a range of 20-25 miles, and has no problems tackling a 10% incline. Plus, it does all that in one stylish and sophisticated package.
INOKIM Light 2
If you’re looking for a scooter that’s going to last the test of time, the INOKIM Light 2 is a perfect choice. Built for short to medium commutes and city living, the Light is one of the most reliable scooters on the market with awesome build quality. It’s definitely a worthy investment.
Unagi Model One
If you are planning on choosing an electric scooter to commute to work or even just riding for fun, then the elegantly designed and powerful Unagi Model One is, without a doubt, the scooter for you. It weighs just 23lbs and can be easily folded, has the battery power (15.5 miles) to get you from A to B and back again, and aesthetics that will put heart emojis in the eyes of anyone that looks at it.
GoTrax GXL 2
It may be the cheapest long-range electric scooter, but the GXL 2 has all of the advanced features that you see on more expensive models including cruise control, a 12-mile range from a 3-4 hour charge, and an LED handlebar display.

As badass as its name, the Wolf Warrior’s abundantly large LG battery delivers enough power so you can ride continuously for 70 miles on a single charge.
At first, I couldn’t believe the amount of power that this beast puts out, it will let you enjoy mile after mile after mile to your heart’s content.
To shine some light on how impressive this mileage is, all of the electric scooters that I have reviewed in the past range from about 10 to 20 miles. The Wolf Warrior’s battery life is about quintuple this.
Whether you want to go for a long cross-country adventure, for your daily commute or maybe just a ride across the boardwalk on a Sunday afternoon, you can rely on the Wolf Warrior to get you to your destination and back again, and still have juice left to do it all over the next day.
Given its impressive range, the Wolf also exceeds any other scooter I have reviewed for speed. It’s hard to put the power of the Wolf Warrior into words but if you’ve ever seen a drag race between two highly tuned sports cars then that is what you can expect. The acceleration is so rapid that you can even spin the tires as you turn the throttle.
Riding the Wolf Warrior at its max power will propel you at a staggering 50 mph.
With the chart-topping mileage and top speed, the Wolf needs at least 7-8 hours charging time, and to be honest, this is also quite impressive. Some of the well known Razor electric scooters can take 12 hours to charge and can only be ridden for a max of 10 miles. Similarly, some other models need less time to charge, generally between 3-4 hours and deliver enough power for 12-15 miles.
The point I am trying to make is that the Wolf Warrior has, pound for pound, the best battery in the game. After all, it was designed and manufactured by LG, the multinational electronics company.
Some fun things to know about the Wolf are that you can choose the type of tires you want to be installed. You can choose from off-road or street grade to suit your riding style. Both sets of tires have a three-dimensional tread pattern that improves traction on all surfaces and the airless design means you’ll never get a flat tire.
Thanks to the incredible power from the motor, the torque is enough to get the Wolf up and over a 45-degree incline which, to put that into perspective, is steeper than any street in San Francisco.
To make the scooter even more enjoyable to ride, it also has motorcycle-grade hydraulic suspension that absorbs the smallest, all the way up to the biggest, imperfections in the ground below to make your riding experience as comfortable as possible.
With such an astonishing top speed, comes risk, and with risk comes the need for safety. So, imagine you are flying down the road at 50 mph and you need to come to a quick stop, you want to be confident that your scooter will slow down in a safe manner.
Well, the Wolf has been fitted with full hydraulic brakes that are far more efficient at slowing you down than the widely used mechanical disc brakes.
The safety precautions don’t stop there though, it also has an anti-lock braking system that stops the wheels from locking up and skidding as you brake. This kind of technology has existed on larger personal transportation devices, like cars, for years.
And finally, this beast has large ultra-bright LEDs that illuminate the path ahead, as well as lights on the side and rear to ensure your visibility.
If you want a scooter that has the raw power to keep up with fast-moving traffic and a model you can rely on to get you to your destination and back again, and still have juice left to do it all over the next day, then the Wolf Warrior is the best long-range electric scooter for you.
Reliability doesn’t have to be boring and the Ninebot KickScooter Max is proof of that.
Designed by Segway, this electric scooter certainly makes good on its promise of maximum quality, delivering across all counts.
Firstly, let’s talk about how far this beauty can go. Although the Ninebot doesn’t quite boast the same mileage as the Wolf Warrior, it’s nothing to sniff at. Offering a 40-mile range gives commuters plenty of go and then some, meaning you’ll reach your destination and have extra juice leftover.
In fact, the Ninebot Max can ride at top speed for over two whole hours without making a serious dent in battery life — which is no mean feat. Even better, when you do eventually find yourself having to plug in, the Ninebot Max has an impressive recharge time of just 6 hours, so you won’t have to wait hours on end for that battery light to turn green. You won’t need to lug around a heavy adapter either: the Max contains a convenient built-in charger.
The larger battery life makes the Ninebot Max a pretty versatile choice. It’s perfect for commuters wanting to shake up their journey to work, as well as those looking for a little more thrill in their scooter choice. The top speed on the Max is lower compared to other scooters in the same mileage bracket, coming in at 18.6 mph, but you’ll still find yourself eager to test the limits of the Ninebot beyond what the average commute can offer, especially given that this scooter sports a fast-acting and responsive dual-braking system and is well-suited to a variety of terrain — it can power up most slopes without breaking a sweat.
Now we’ve covered speed, range, and battery, let’s get into the design specifics. With a weight of 41 lbs, it’s not the lightest or most portable scooter, but there are a couple of reasons for its increased bulk.
Firstly, the Ninebot Max features a wider, sturdier, and more secure foot deck, enhanced with a textured surface for improved rider grip. As well as being more comfortable, the bigger base allows you to focus less on staying balanced and more on the experience of the ride. This is great news for those longer rides.
The 10-inch pneumatic tires are also a lot heavier than on other scooters, but in my opinion, they’re worth it. If you decide to take the Max off-road, the bigger tire size absorbs most major bumps or imperfections in the road. Plus, even if you do hit that rugged terrain at an awkward angle, there’s no need to worry: The Ninebot Max tires are self-healing.
Did you just hear me say ‘self-healing’?
Yes, you did. In addition to their larger size, the tires contain a healing sealant on the inside. If you do find yourself the victim of an unfortunate puncture, the sealant will automatically be applied to fill any tears or rips up to 6mm in diameter. Pretty cool, right? Innovation like this takes the stress out of venturing into off-road exploration and getting the most from your Ninebot Max.
Extra fun features of the Ninebot Max include a downloadable app that allows you to access all your previous rides, three separate riding modes (Eco, Standard, and Sports), and an intuitive LED dashboard for checking maintenance signals, power levels, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Max also has a built-in LED light to illuminate the path in front of you and increase your visibility to others around you.
Without a doubt, the major attraction points of the Ninebot Max are the impressive mile range and the addition of innovative features like the self-healing tires. To make that even sweeter, the Ninebot Max is amazing value for money, offering a lot for what you pay.
If you’re after a reliable scooter that still packs a punch in terms of range and power without breaking the bank, then the Ninebot Max is definitely for you. As Segway’s newest and most impressive scooter so far, the innovation on this thing will get your heart pumping as much as taking it out for your first ride.

Hands up if you’re after an electric scooter that screams ‘premium’…
If your hand is in the air, this next scooter has your name written all over it.
The INOKIM OxO is the big brother to INOKIM’s older model, the Ox, but this time around the leading electric scooter supplier has turned the dial up to boost its power and range without compromising on the ride quality, intuitive handling, and quality design.
The OxO features not one but two near-silent 800w brushless motors which deliver some serious torque and top speeds of 40 mph. It’ll leave you holding on for dear life if you’re not careful.
Luckily, the foot deck of the OxO is wide enough to give good balance as well as ensuring a comfortable stance. The smartly-designed thumb throttle also looks after your hands and wrists on those longer adventures, stopping fatigue from impacting the thrill of the ride.
Speaking of longer journeys, what does the range of the OxO look like? The powerful lithium-ion battery promises an incredible running range of 50 miles based on optimal conditions (170lb rider and 15mph constant speed), but realistically it’s hard not to enjoy the power this scooter has under its hood, meaning you can expect a range more so in the region of 33-36 miles.
Unfortunately, the charging time is between 12-14 hours which is much longer than other scooters that I’ve reviewed in this list. Luckily, there are ways you can preserve battery, such as the handy button positioned underneath the handgrips. This lets you swap between single or dual motor mode so you can hit those top speeds when you need to, but otherwise, you can choose to save on battery life and swap the thrill ride for something a little more comfortable.
At some point though, you’re going to want to push for that 40mph limit. If you do find your speed getting away from you, there’s nothing to worry about – INOKIM has got you covered. The OxO is outfitted with both front and rear hydraulic brakes that deliver highly responsive braking power on any terrain.
In addition to its power and speed, 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 the normal commute route. And if you’re riding at night, there are LED lights fitted on the front and back to illuminate the road ahead and behind you, as well as making you more visible.
The OXO comes with adjustable suspension so you’re not limited by the design of the scooter. Rather, the design changes depending on what you need it for! The lower suspension setting is perfect for riding at higher speeds, whereas setting it up a notch gives better suspension travel and great clearance. You can even purchase off-road tires to keep your scooter in top condition no matter where you’re riding.
When you decide to buy an electric scooter, it’s an investment, right? And you want your investments to last.
Wouldn’t it be great if the scooter you chose had a reputation for being great quality and easy to care for so that getting the most out of the years to come was a breeze?
Guess what? The INOKIM OxO does and is.
It’s clear to see that INOKIM has worked hard to integrate longevity into their design. All their features enable easy maintenance so that your OxO will last much longer than other long-range scooters on the market. For example, this scooter features single-sided swing arms. What are these? In layman’s terms, these are the arms that hold the scooter wheel in place so it can do its thing; having just one makes it easier to maintain the wheels on your scooter. In addition to this, the 12-month warranty that accompanies the OxO gives riders peace of mind should anything go amiss. If this scooter is properly cared for, it will stand the test of time.
This electric scooter oozes style. The quality of the design and the superior smoothness of the ride means you’ll exude confidence no matter where you go. You can practically smell the attention-to-detail and the aesthetic design of the scooter is unlike anything I’ve seen. The combination of power, speed, and downright class sets this electric scooter aside from the rest of the pack and will have heads turning as you carve your way through any landscape.
If you’re looking for a solid investment, you can’t go far wrong here. When the INOKIM OxO lands on your doorstep, you can trust that it’ll be the start of a beautiful future together.

Love the look of the INOKIM OxO but want something a little more portable? The INOKIM Quick 3 might just be your answer.
Ready-made with the stellar reputation of INOKIM behind them, the newest addition to the ever-popular Quick series delivers all-new power and a big old punch, without compromising on robust design and the reliability for which INOKIM is so well-known.
Let’s kick things off by looking at the power behind the Quick 3.
Sometimes it feels like if you want a powerful scooter, you have to compromise on portability.
Well, not this time.
The Quick 3 is the result of a heap of testing and a lot of work. It weighs in at just 36.4 lbs but still reaches 19 mph with its new 450W motor. Plus, this scooter has one of the best folding mechanisms out there – even the handlebars fold in, making it extremely compact and easily transportable.
Don’t get me wrong, you aren’t going to see the same kind of power as you would in the OxO or the Wolf Warrior, but the Quick can definitely hold its own, tackling tougher slopes than previous models and delivering improved pick-up. It also makes it the perfect electric scooter for urban rides and commuting, banishing rush hour blues, and saving you a ton of money in the process. What’s not to like?
Of course, it’s no good if the power putters out halfway down the road, so what about the battery?
This is one of the best bits about the INOKIM Quick 3. The Quick’s battery is made by electronic supergiants, LG, so you can rest assured this scooter comes with a high level of quality. It provides an impressive top range of 28 miles and takes around 7 hours to fully recharge – perfect for slightly longer commutes or casual weekend exploration.
As with any electric scooter, safety is a big consideration, and the INOKIM doesn’t drop the ball here. The Quick 3 features 10-inch pneumatic tires which practically soak up the bumps and potholes as you go. It’s not seamless, but the improved design does make for a more comfortable ride and provides great traction if you find yourself caught in a sudden downpour.
It also comes fitted with bigger and better front and rear LED lights than in previous models. If you prefer riding at night, you don’t need to be worried about visibility. The headlights also double up as brake lights, so that you don’t take other riders and pedestrians by surprise if you need to stop suddenly.
I’ve covered all the important stuff, so let’s take a little look at the aesthetics now.
I know, I know — it might seem a little shallow. But it’s just as important for you to fall in love with the overall look of your scooter as well as the fancy tech and impressive specs.
Well, The Quick 3 ticks all the right boxes, although it can look a little clunky in comparison to some of the other scooters on the market which channel a more futuristic style. However, one thing I did like is that the Quick comes in a variety of different colors. That might seem trivial, but choosing your favorite color is a really easy way to make the scooter your own without having to stick decals all over the paintwork.
There’s one more thing to mention about the INOKIM Quick 3 and it’s probably my favorite part.
So, you’ve been on a long ride and you’re on your way home. The foot deck of the Quick is nice and roomy so you’ve had a comfortable time of it, but your legs are feeling a little tired and you want a break. What do you do?
You set up your seat attachment of course!
That’s right, the INOKIM quick also has a seat attachment that can be added to convert it into a sit-down scooter for when your legs need a rest. It’s a perfect addition for longer journeys and sleepy commutes. Sadly, the seat attachment doesn’t come as standard and has to be purchased separately, but it makes for a fun extra.
Portability? Check.
Power? Check.
Long mile range? Check.
It’s clear that the INOKIM Quick 3 is a great scooter choice for urban living and longer city commutes. It ticks all the boxes without any major compromises, making it a great all-rounder for anyone looking for something with a solid reputation behind it. This is one scooter built to fit perfectly into your lifestyle and it’ll look great doing it.
If you want to experience power, range and a reel of exciting features then keep reading.
The combination of the internal and external lithium-ion batteries gives the Segway Ninebot ES4 an impressive range of up to 28 miles and the power to climb up 15-degree inclines.
Segway are well known for their premium personal transportation devices and the ES4 comes with 18 years of experience so you can be sure that you are choosing a long-range electric scooter that has been meticulously designed.
The years of experience just goes to show with the attentive design of the battery which will not overheat or short circuit and also has over-current and over-charge protection to ensure that it lasts the test of time and can be charged and re-charged over and over. (It takes 7 hours to fully charge).
It is the attention to detail that makes the Segway Ninebot ES4 one of the best electric scooters on the market, evident from its iF Design Award.
So, what else makes this scooter stand out from the rest, aside from its mileage? I’m glad you asked. Strap in.
Firstly, let me ask you a question. Do you like smiling?
Yes, of course, you do!
Well, as soon as you open the box and unwrap the Ninebot ES4 you are going to have a smile on your face stretching from one ear to the other. The elegantly designed scooter has a seamless dark grey finish, a built-in LED display and customizable rear and sidelights to suit your style.
Imagine you are out riding on your brand new electric scooters down the boardwalk or city streets and you flip a switch to maintain a constant speed without the use of the accelerator. That would be pretty cool, right?
No need to imagine it, you can actually do it! Thanks to the cruise control option you can ride in comfort. Simply accelerate to your desired speed, flip the switch and let the scooter do all the hard work for you.
While we are on the topic of speed, the Segway Ninebot ES4 is also one of the fastest street grade electric scooters with two core riding modes, including standard and sport mode. Sport mode will see you reach a top speed of 18.6 mph.
But fear not, you’ll also be able to quickly slow down (if you need to), thanks to the combination of the anti-lock electric brake system and mechanical brake. Tests show that you’ll be able to stop within 13 feet when travelling at a speed of 12.4 mph.
Planning to use your scooter for a long commute?
You’ll be glad to know that it only weighs 30.9 lbs and has a super simple folding frame which takes only a matter of seconds to fold the scooter in half, making extremely portable and great for storage. To paint the picture of how compact it is when folded, here are the dimensions: 45x17x16 in. I know you’ve probably looked at those and thought: ‘Cool…I don’t know how big that is’. Let me clear this up for you, it is small enough to fit under your desk at work, in the trunk of your car or even tucked away in your wardrobe.
With an array of advanced features, powerful battery and delightful design, the Segway Ninebot ES4 won’t just let you enjoy long range rides but will turn heads while you do it.
21-25 Miles
Let’s be honest. If you want a scooter that delivers on both power and range, you expect to pay a premium price, right?
Well, not always!
Introducing the Horizon 13 from Miami-based FluidFreeRide. This scooter delivers on power and speed, all in one affordable package. Sound too good to be true? Let’s dive into the specs to see how well it holds up against other contenders on this list!
Firstly, let’s talk about engine power. The Horizon features a single 500w motor, but this doesn’t hold it back. The rear motor position gives a natural boost to the acceleration and gets you from 0-15mph in 4.5 seconds. It also has more than enough power to push you up slopes with a 10-degree incline. In real terms, the Horizon might struggle with some of the steeper streets in cities like San Francisco, but your standard hill climb won’t faze it at all.
Of course, the next question on your lips is about the mile range, but when it comes to the Horizon, you have not one but two mileage options. The scooter comes in two battery sizes — 10.4Ah and 13.2Ah — with the former offering a range of 20 miles and the latter extending that to 25. Of course, there is a price difference with the larger battery option retailing at $829, but having the flexibility to choose the range which best suits your purposes is a unique bonus of this model.
You might expect that the lower price of this scooter would mean a lesser ride experience, but you would be wrong. The Horizon 13 delivers on all counts providing a smooth ride across most surfaces. This is especially surprising considering the Horizon features one completely rubber tire at the back and only one air-filled tire at the front. Lots of scooters choose solid tires to avoid flats but this often means a bit of a bumpy ride to boot because of poorer traction.
That’s not the case with the Horizon 13, the scooter’s front spring and rear hydraulic suspension packs a punch and does exactly what it says on the tin, keeping you stable and comfortable throughout with no jarring or violent movements.
In terms of portability, this scooter weighs in at 40 lbs, which, compared to some of the others I’ve reviewed, isn’t bad. You can easily carry it up a set of stairs but you wouldn’t want to lug it around for a prolonged amount of time. However, FluidFreeRide does offer a trolley wheel attachment to combat this, but it is separate from the scooter at an extra cost.
That being said, the Horizon 13 does have one of the most efficient folding systems I’ve seen. Simply flick a lever at the base of the deck and the scooter folds in with nothing more than a click. To add to that, both handlebars fold inwards and can be tightened with a screw mechanism to make this truly one of the most compact scooters I’ve seen. It makes stowing it on public transport ultra easy and convenient.
If all that isn’t enough for you, the Horizon has some pretty jazzy features as well, including bright triple headlights and taillights, an LED speedometer and battery meter as well as large splash guards to protect you when riding through less than perfect conditions.
In my opinion, the Horizon 13 is perfect for those wanting something a little more sophisticated than an entry-level scooter. It offers all of the power and advantages of a higher-end machine at a wallet-friendly price. It’s perfect for commuting and delivers on most fronts – simply put, it’s an absolute steal.

Like the look of the INOKIM OxO but not sure if you can stretch your budget that far? Well, never fear! If you’re in the market for something dependable and strong, the INOKIM Ox Hero certainly lives up to its name.
Made by the same company as the OxO, the Ox has plenty going for it, but the most important thing here when deciding between the two (aside from the price tag) is how you’re planning to use your scooter when you get it and what your rides are going to look like.
What do I mean? Well, let’s talk about power.
The Ox has a motor power of 800W compared to the OxO’s 2000W. This might seem like a massive difference, but actually, the Ox has more than enough go in it to power you up and over most slopes, even if it does take slightly longer to pick up momentum.
What about speed and range? The Ox Hero has a top speed of 28 mph, and unless you’re a real speed-fiend, the OXO’s younger brother will suit your needs perfectly. Compared to most electric scooters, the INOKIM OX’s top speed would be considered as pretty darn impressive.
The Ox Hero offers a range of 22 miles and a recharge time of 6-8 hours, so it’s perfect for those of you with a daily commute that comes in under the 20-mile mark. Plus, the time it takes to fully charge is almost half that of the OxO, so not only are you saving $1,000 on the price tag, but you’ll also be out on the road a lot quicker!
So it’ll get me where I need to go and it’s quick too? Great! What else?
When it comes to INOKIM, I can’t overstate the quality of the build enough. All of their scooters are known for their robust design and ease of maintainability. I have to admit that ‘robustness’ doesn’t sound all that exciting — after all, no-one ever really talks about how robust a rally car is — but it’s one of the most important factors to consider.
No-one wants to shell out for an electric scooter only for it to fall apart the next week.
You’ll be glad to know there’s no fear of that here. Not only does it perform like an ox, but it’s built like one too. To be honest, when it comes to INOKIM, I wouldn’t expect anything less. A bonus of this is that the Ox Hero is almost silent when you ride, with no creaking or buzzing that you might find with other scooters. It definitely gives it a sophisticated, premium feel.
The ride quality is one of the best things about this scooter. Everything from the wide foot deck to the convenient thumb throttle gives a comfortable ride and protects all your limbs and joints. This is aided by the INOKIM-pioneered suspension and 10-inch pneumatic tires which provide a smooth ride from start to finish, no matter the surface you’re traveling over. The front and rear LED lights also give great illumination although INOKIM does recommend adding extra lights if you’re planning extensive night riding.
The Ox Hero is one of the heavier scooters on the market, weighing in at 57 lbs, which affects how easy it is to transport. It might not be the best choice if you’re someone whose commute requires you to carry your scooter for stretches at a time, but it is still portable enough to carry up a flight of stairs or take onto public transport.
The weight aside, I still think the INOKIM Ox Hero is a great choice and delivers on all fronts. It might not put out as much speed or range as the OxO, but for most commuters, it does more than enough. Plus, it offers exactly the same quality and superior ride experience with a much cheaper price tag.

Let’s put this on the table, I really like this scooter.
The power, the range, the aesthetics…and don’t even get me started on the wheels!
But let’s just slow down a second. I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start with the basics.
The WideWheel Pro is the newest scooter from Mercane and builds on the learnings from the two previous models that came before it. Now, it’s back and it’s bigger and better than ever.
As always, let’s start with speed, power, and range. Alongside build quality and safety, these are the core factors to consider when choosing your scooter.
The WideWheel Pro has two 500w motors to give it that extra boost of power, especially if your commute or favorite weekend routes feature a lot of hills. This baby tackles 30% inclines with ease and once you’re up and over the top, you can race away with a top speed of 26 mph. Let me tell you, this scooter delivers a thrilling ride and boasts impressive acceleration, hitting 20 mph in less than 6 seconds. That’s faster than it takes me to tie my shoelaces.
The Pro’s Lithium-ion battery gives a minimum range of 22 miles, but the different rider modes mean this figure isn’t set in stone. Select the efficient ECO mode and you could be cruising along for up to 30 miles in one ride. When you run out of juice, the Pro takes 8 hours to achieve a total recharge before you’re ready to hit the road again.
Now for my favorite bit: the tires.
Firstly, I love how these look. Their chunkiness gives the Pro a bit of a rock ‘n roll attitude which pairs perfectly with its sleek paint job. And they aren’t just a fashion accessory either. Unlike other scooters, the Pro’s tires aren’t air-filled but instead contain polyurethane foam.
What? Foam tires?
Don’t worry, they’re not spongey to the touch! In fact, opting for airless tires means you’ll never find yourself the victim of a flat which is convenient for maintenance. Plus, the unique filling of these tires lends itself to an equally unique ride sensation. It can only be described as ‘floating on clouds’. Because it’s so different from any other scooter on the market, it can take some time to get used to, but even so, you’ll never feel unstable.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks to airless tires. For one thing, they have less traction than pneumatic tires which affects grip in wet conditions. They can also cause a more jarring ride unless balanced out with a strong suspension system. The Pro’s suspension is good enough to provide a thrilling ride on smooth roads, but it can’t quite overcome rougher terrain and you might find yourself suffering here.
That said, the WideWheel Pro does take safety seriously and this is especially evident in the braking system. The Pro features front and rear dual disc brakes and their stopping power is impressive. Added to that, the Pro comes with inbuilt front and rear lights to increase visibility in darker conditions and man are they bright. You’ll have no problems seeing the road in front of you with these.
When it comes to the Pro, portability isn’t its biggest selling point. It weighs 54 lbs, but it’s not the heaviest in this list. You’d easily be able to carry it around with you for short periods, but anything longer and it’s likely to become cumbersome. Despite this, one big bonus of the Pro is that it’s fairly compact. Everything folds in on itself, including the handlebars. It is, by no means, the most compact scooter but when folded up, it can be stored in small-ish spaces.
I said it in the beginning, I like this scooter. I’m a big fan of the overall design and the top-quality build, plus the extra features like smart LED controls and cruise control. The WideWheel Pro is the ideal scooter for city living and weekend exploring. You’ll feel like you’re floating around on clouds as you cruise through the city streets. Even better, you’ll turn plenty of heads as you go.

Are you sick of hearing about scooters with insane power and out-of-this-world torque? Are you just looking for something that delivers high performance, has a stellar reputation, and can get you from A to B safely?
Let me introduce the INOKIM Light 2.
By now, INOKIM should be a familiar name to you, for a very good reason. They’re pretty excellent at what they do, and that’s not confined to producing scooters with enough power to knock your socks off. They pride themselves on covering all their bases, and they do it well.
The Light 2 is a perfect combination of portability and performance, with an emphasis on keeping you safe without compromising on design and aesthetics. In fact, it’s probably one of the most reliable scooters I’ve ever reviewed, and that’s saying something.
I should say now that if you’re looking for something that can handle longer commute rides, or you want a scooter that’s just as home off-road as it is in an urban setting, look elsewhere. That’s not what the Light 2 is about. This scooter is specifically designed for short to medium commutes and belongs on city paths. It knows what it’s built to do, and it does it well.
So what does that look like?
Well, firstly, the Light 2 was designed with safety and longevity as the two main considerations. The body of this scooter contains hardly any welds but instead was made by CNC manufacturing, which is the automated control of machining tools by a pre-programmed computer. It ensures consistent product quality by enabling a higher level of precision than manual machining. This is great because it means there’s less chance of weaknesses in the construction, so you’re looking at a more structurally sound frame.
When riding on smoother roads, the lower foot deck and adjusted center of gravity provide excellent stability and reduces the chance of a surprise spill. The Light 2 also features front and rear lights, an LED display with an inbuilt thumb throttle, and a safety lock to stop the scooter folding up mid-ride.
What about the brakes?
Like the rest of this scooter’s features, INOKIM prioritizes safety here too. The Light 2 features dual drum brakes, which is pretty rare amongst newer scooters, as most favor disc brakes. This is a pretty smart choice on INOKIM’s part. The foot deck of the Light 2 rides lower to the ground than other scooters on the market, and so do the brakes. Drum brakes are great for this because they’re less susceptible to challenging weather conditions- these guys will last ages with hardly any maintenance!
So, with safety and longevity as the priorities, what about speed and range? The Light 2’s 350w motor has a top speed of 21 mph, offering smooth and consistent acceleration with enough power to get you over small inclines. The high-quality LG Lithium-ion battery will keep you going for anywhere between 15 and 20 miles, depending on your riding speed, and recharges in 4 to 5 hours.
The main drawback to the Light 2 lies in its lack of suspension. This can make for an uncomfortable ride if your chosen terrain is bumpier than usual. But if you regularly travel on well-maintained roads, you’ve got nothing to worry about!
The Light 2 is the perfect scooter for a city lifestyle and it’s built to withstand the knocks of the everyday commute. Weighing in at 30 lbs, it folds away perfectly and can be stored conveniently when you reach your destination. Did I mention that it comes in a variety of colors too? Similar to the INOKIM Quick range, the Light 2 has several color options so you can pick the one that best suits you.
Simply put, the INOKIM Light 2 does exactly what it promises. It is a little pricier than other scooters with similar specs but what sets it apart is the quality. If you opt for the Light 2, you can feel confident that you’ve made a good investment because this scooter is a master in longevity as well as being stylish and beautifully designed. It will fit right into your lifestyle and has everything you need to turn your commute from a hellish public-transport nightmare to your favorite part of the day.

Maybe you like the idea of being able to go on a long-range ride but don’t want to splash the cash…or at least, you’d like to spend a little less than, say, what the WideWheel Pro costs. I’ve got you covered.
Saving you $220, the WideWheel Dual will carry you for up to 20 miles on a single charge.
The highly efficient lithium-ion battery delivers a strong but smooth acceleration that can reach up to 25 mph on flat terrain and climb up steep hills. You can even get live updates on your battery’s performance from the display panel on the scooter’s handlebars, letting you monitor the overall battery health.
Why is that important?
Well, it means that at all times you will be aware of how much battery power you have left. You don’t want to get halfway through a long-range ride to realize that you have only 10% battery power left! It also helps you to monitor the charging status of your battery.
Like my old math teacher used to say: ‘If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail’.
Essentially, the point I am trying to make is that the addition of being able to monitor the health of the battery pays off, especially when you are planning to go on a long ride.
Similar to the PRO, the WideWheel Dual also has wide tires, hence the name. The tires are 4 inches wide and 8 inches high, both of which play to your advantage.
They give you increased traction, which means a more stable ride.
They help you to overcome irregular terrain and obstacles and even tackle off-road terrain, which means you can wave goodbye to the roads and go on a cross-country adventure.
And, the combination of the thick tires with the uniquely designed front and rear suspension systems take care of your wrists, legs, pretty much your whole body as they absorb shock from the ground below. This makes for a comfortable riding experience, which is vital for long ranges.
One thing that can be quite easily overlooked when choosing a long-range electric scooter is how robust it is. You can think about this like a car. Imagine you’ve bought a second-hand car that has been haphazardly built and you need to travel 50 miles a day to get to work and back. After a while, the shoddy build and wear and tear on the car will lead it to fail, maybe even breakdown mid-way through your commute. You don’t want this when you are picking an electric scooter.
Instead, you want a scooter that is going to last the test of time. The WideWheel Dual will do just that.
The scooter was formed by cutting edge casting method which in plain old English means that it has no welding, much like the INKONIM Light 2.
The reason why this is so good is that it lends itself to being structurally strong and therefore, delivers high durability as well as looking seamless.
While we are on the topic of looks, with the uniquely shaped deck, wide mudguards, collapsible frame/handlebars, and charcoal grey paint finish gives the WideWheel a modern and sophisticated aesthetic that doesn’t look like your standard electric scooter.
It’s not all about looks though. How the WideWheel fairs with safety is also an important consideration.
The WideWheel has a rear disc brake which will safely slow the scooter down when you need it too. And, if you want to ride at night it has LED lights at the front and rear to keep you visible in low light.
In terms of security, it needs a key to be operated which means someone won’t be able to hop on your scooter and drive away while you are in the shop picking up groceries.
Overall, the WideWheel Dual is a great choice if you want to spend a little less but still want to take advantage of high speeds and long ranges while enjoying the luxury of a comfortable riding experience.
If you love the look of the INOKIM Light 2, but you don’t love the size of the price tag, buckle up because I think this next scooter could be a winner for you.
The Horizon 10.4 is the brainchild of the previously mentioned FluidFreeRide. Similar to the INOKIM Light 2, it’s all about quality and reliability. What’s even better is that you can tick those boxes whilst saving $500 on the price tag!
Featuring a smart and classic design, the Horizon showcases a 500W motor with a max output of 800w when climbing slopes that have an incline of up to 15 degrees. When on the flat, hit the throttle hard and you’ll find yourself reaching speeds of up to 25 mph without a problem — perfect for those of you who have a thirst for a little thrill but don’t want to breach the 30 mph limit.
With the 10.4 Lithium-ion battery, the Horizon will deliver a smooth ride for up to 20 miles, though you could push this further if you lower your speed and opt for more of a cruise than a zoom. Seeing as how you’ll rarely find yourself flying along at 25 mph nonstop during a morning commute, this gives the Horizon plenty of potential. If you do want to hit those top speeds during weekend adventures, the range on offer means you’ve got no fear of running out of juice.
With the INOKIM Light 2, one of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of suspension on bumpier or gravely roads and sidewalks. As well as being a whole load cheaper, this is one area the Horizon 10.4 hasn’t forgotten about. It features both front spring and rear hydraulic suspension and the air-filled tires have great shock absorption, breezing over bumps, and cracks. I wouldn’t recommend it for off-roading but it’s perfect for the majority of commuter routes and general city living.
The last thing you want when riding along at speed is to feel unbalanced or unstable. That’s not a problem for this scooter. Along with the suspension and tires, the Horizon’s deck is nice and roomy, giving you plenty of space to adjust your footing and evenly distribute your weight. It’ll protect your knees and ankles for strain too.
The Horizon is fairly easy on your back too. It weighs 40 lbs, so you won’t have to strain too much when moving it around when you’re not riding it but it can be a hassle to carry for long periods. If you want to make it easier to carry, you can pick up optional trolley wheels and carry handle that can be purchased at an additional cost for increased versatility.
Safety always comes first when riding an electric scooter and the Horizon ticks the boxes. It is reassuringly robust and that’s where its reputation for reliability comes from. The build quality is excellent and it’s made from top of the range materials — you’d struggle to find any weak spots here.
The stand-out selling point for the Horizon 10.4 is its excellent value for money. It isn’t a budget scooter but it does offer what a lot of top-range scooters do for a fraction of the price.
10-15 Miles
The iPhone of electric scooters.
Just looking at this scooter puts the heart emoji in my eyes.
If you are like me and you like a modern aesthetic and all things tech, then the Unagi Model One is absolutely the best electric scooter for you. You won’t find anything other scooter that matches it for design.
But what sits behind the design is the most impressive part of the scooter.
To kick start this review off I am going to deep dive into the battery power and mileage. The Unagi Model One isn’t just powered by any old lithion battery. Instead, it is powered by the highest quality batteries in existence. Yes! In existence!
The batteries, manufactured by LG, the award-winning multinational electronics company, provide one of the highest energy density and lowest charging time of any battery its size. And, thanks to the custom power management system, the batteries have been designed for longevity and reliability which means they will last for many years, no matter if you use them every day.
With the impressive battery covered, the answer to the question on your lips: ‘What’s the mileage?’, is…
15.5 miles.
That’s not all. Let’s take a look at some of the other features and functionality that make the Unagi Model One such an attractive choice.
To start, its flawless machined aluminum deck, smooth-to-the-touch paint job, and intuitive, iPhone-like, handlebar LED display gives the Unagi an exterior befitting of a luxury vehicle (somewhat like a Tesla).
In fact, the Unagi uses the same carbon fibre as Elon Musk’s Space-X rockets. That is pretty awesome, right? Definitely something to brag about to your friends! But, it does have its uses as creates the perfect equilibrium between being lightweight, strong and durable.
The 250w front wheel drive motor lets you decide how fast you want to go. You can choose to start on Beginner mode while you get used to mastering your new electric scooter at 9.3 mph. Once you feel comfortable you can up the speed to the Advanced mode where you can enjoy a gentle cruise around the city streets at 12.4 mph or if you are feeling playful you can crank up to 15.5 mph.
That isn’t everything though.
The motor can produce enough torque to power you up 6-degree inclines and the custom built monitoring system ensures that your scooter won’t overheat.
Why does this matter to you?
Have you ever been in a car that’s been working so hard that you’ve had to pull over because it’s over-heated? Even if you haven’t you can probably imagine how frustrating this can be.
The Unagi’s monitoring system ensures that this doesn’t happen so you can continue to enjoy riding your scooter for prolonged periods. In essence, the monitoring system optimizes the scooter to perform as efficiently as possible.
Similar to the example above, flat tires can also be very frustrating. Not for you though.
The scooter has been equipped with solid rubber tires that are puncture free. You can wave goodbye to flat tires – see ya!
This is impressive but other scooters also have puncture-proof tires. What makes these tires stand out from the rest is their form.
They aren’t one solid piece of rubber. In fact, they are about ⅔ rubber, the rest is empty space thanks to the oblong cut-outs around the circumference of the tires.
Why do they cut outs?
Good question. Let me explain.
The cut-outs acts as a suspension system!
What about braking?
Well, the dual electronic anti-lock braking system will bring you to a safe stop. The further you push down on the brake, the more braking power will be applied.
Some other safety features to be aware of are the lumen LED headlight and bright red tail-light that blinks as you ride, the IP54 water-resistant rating which lets you ride in the rain, and the intelligent battery system that protects against short circuits, over-currents, temperature abnormality and much more. Oh, and my favorite, the horn.

Now, this is a seriously fun scooter!
And not just fun because of the trademark chunky tires you associate with WideWheel scooters (although these are still pretty cool), but mostly because it is so much better than you think it’s going to be!
On paper, this guy looks like your run-of-the-mill mid-range scooter. In reality, it’s so much more.
This is mainly down to the power behind this e-scooter. Although the engine on the WideWheel Single says it’s 500W, it feels way more powerful than that and reaches a top speed of 25 mph — you’ll find that the speedy acceleration will have you hanging onto the handlebars when you hit the throttle. The WideWheel Single has no problem countering some of those steeper hills — I’d even say it relishes the challenge.
Luckily, the (unsurprisingly) wide tires provide great traction to manage this kind of speed and power, although you do need to be careful in less than ideal weather conditions because they can lose some of their grip. The unique foam filling replicates the floating sensation I discussed when I reviewed the WideWheel Pro and provides a supremely smooth ride.
These tires also make off-road adventures a dream. The suspension is super responsive so you’re not going to feel the full impact of all those harsh ups and down when riding on pockmarked and pitted roads. This scooter is ideal for those adrenaline junkies with slightly tighter purse strings.
The Lithium-ion battery gives a realistic range of 15 miles on a single charge, and the built-in battery tracking system gives you more control and a greater awareness of your overall battery health rather than leaving it to chance.
What about those all-important safety features?
The WideWheel is equipped with a sharp braking system, giving a crisp stop when you need one. It also comes with bright front and rear lights that do a great job of brightening up those night time excursions. The rear light also acts as a brake light so others around you can be more aware of where you are and when you’re planning to stop.
Like the WideWheel Dual, this e-scooter is key-operated which is great if you’re concerned about leaving your scooter outside whilst you’re completing errands. Just don’t forget to take the key with you.
The one area that is lacking a little on the WideWheel Single is the user interface. Sadly, it doesn’t come with a speedometer and the battery indicator is a simple light bar. This is the only drawback for those riders who want a bit more information about their ride stats. If you’re more interested in the ride rather than the data, this shouldn’t be a concern for you.
The GoTrax GXL 2 has all of the advanced features that you see on more expensive models.
Let’s take a look at what you can expect.
As I mentioned above, you can ride 12 miles on a single 3-4 hour charge. With such a short charge time, you could plug in your scooter as you stop off for a coffee or even at your office while you work. The point I am trying to make is that the fast charge time of the scooter means you can plug and go wherever you are. How does that benefit you?
I’ll set the scene for you…
You wake up and get ready for your morning commute, you realize you only have about 7 miles left in the scooter but your commute to work is 5 miles. You have enough juice to get to work but not enough to get back once that clock strikes 5 pm. Not a problem. You get to work, plug in your scooter and it’s fully charged before you even take your lunch break.
This should demonstrate to you just how convenient this long-range electric scooter is.
You’ll notice I referenced how you can easily pick up and unfold your scooter after storing it. To give you a bit more detail, it only weighs 27 lbs and has a folding frame that measures just 15 x 44 x 6 inches.
Unlike some of the other electric scooters that I reviewed, the Gotrax GXL 2 doesn’t have suspension but what it does have is 8.5 inches, air-filled, tires that soak up the bumpy city streets just like a suspension system would.
Impressively, the GXL 2 has cruise control. Yes! Cruise control and the scooter only costs $248.00! This is an absolute steal and convenient for those days when you want to set your speed and just enjoy the ride.
The cruise control function is extremely easy to use. You just hold the accelerator down for 10 seconds to activate the function.
The GXL 2 has also been designed to be extremely durable with its fortified frame and reinforced fender and deck – making it ideal if you want a scooter to ride daily.
In conclusion, you can’t go wrong with the GoTrax GXL 2. It has the features of far more expensive electric scooters for a fraction of the cost. You can enjoy long-range rides and take advantage of the cruise control function as you zip through the busy city streets at 15.5 mph. You can even monitor your speed and check your battery life on the LED handlebar display, as well as switching on the ultra-bright headlight for your nighttime travels.

FAQs
The title of the longest range electric scooter belongs to the Wolf Warrior. This beast can last 70 miles before it needs recharging.
The Wolf Warrior lets you enjoy mile after mile after mile to your heart’s content.
To put the mileage into perspective, the battery life is approximately quintuple (5 times) the distance an average electric scooter puts out.
Runner up to the Wolf Warrior is the Segway Ninebot Max, which is capable of 40 miles.
It depends on what you define as power. To give you my take on the subject though, power is a combination of the power output (torque) of the motor, mileage, and speed. So, with that in mind, the most powerful electric scooter is the Wolf Warrior which has enough torque to take on steep inclines and rough off-road terrain, juice in its battery to rotate the wheels for 80 miles, and power in the motor to propel you at a thrilling 50 mph.
This depends entirely on the scooter you pick and the type of battery it has.
Some e-scooters, like the Wolf Warrior, have a range of up to 70 miles, whereas others such as the GoTrax GXL V2 might only reach 12 miles before they need recharging.
A good mileage for a long-range scooter can sit anywhere between 10 and 70 miles, although what it boils down to is how long your battery takes to recharge.
For example, the Wolf Warrior has a 70-mile range with only a 7 hour recharge time, whereas the INOKIM OxO gives a 36-mile range, but can take between 10 and 13 hours to recharge.
Other scooters, like the GoTrax GXL 2, have much less mileage (12-miles) than those above but can be recharged in just a few hours (4 hours). My advice would be to think about how you want to ride your scooter. If you just want a scooter to cruise on at the weekend then one with a lower mileage but quick recharge time is probably best for you. On the other hand, if you want to use your scooter for long commutes then a higher mileage would be best.
This changes depending on which scooter you choose. They all have different battery charges and mile ranges. Plus, your riding style (weight, speed, and riding terrain) impacts how long the battery lasts for.
If you’ve got a need for speed, you’ll find your battery running out a lot faster than those who like to kick back and take life at a slower pace. On average, an electric scooter battery lasts for between 12-22 miles.
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.
If you moderate your speed and slow down a little, your charge will last for longer and let you go further.
Some scooters, like the Segway Ninebot Max, offer different ride settings, such as ECO. Opting for this instead of a sport setting will help your battery go further.
It’s important to note that the weight of the rider can also impact range, the heavier the rider, the harder the motor has to work. Similarly, the terrain you ride on can have an effect, that includes off-roading and riding up inclines.
Really great review of my favourite escooter, Wolf for life! 🙂 Cheers from Poland!
It’s a beast! Thanks for dropping a comment Delaine

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 🙂
– Josh
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!
