The FASTEST Electric Scooter Under $800?! Ausom GoSoul 2 Pro Review

The Ausom GoSoul 2 Pro is a $799 dual motor scooter that actually hits its claimed 36 mph top speed — 36.5 mph GPS verified — making it the fastest electric scooter our team has tested at this price point. Andrew and Jimmy put it through extensive real world testing, covering everything from hill climbs, brake tests, and power slides, coming away impressed by the value packed into the price point: tubeless tires, NFC and PIN security, accurate display, and dual motor hill climbing capability that most scooters in this class simply cannot match. The criticism list is worth mentioning but very manageable — the center steering notch takes adjustment, the deck needs grip tape, and the turn signal button needs a redesign — but none of it changes the enthusiasm we have for this product.

Written Review

The Ausom GoSoul 2 Pro makes the claim of 36 mph for under $800, which is bold considering most scooters in that price range top out at 18 to 25 mph on a good day. Andrew and Jimmy put the GoSoul 2 Pro through a GPS-verified speed test, a hill climb, a brake evaluation, and an in-depth walkthrough of every feature and flaw, returning with the verdict that this is an awesome (pun intended) scooter, but there are some real caveats you should be know before buying.

Speed and Performance

At full charge, Andrew hit 36.5 mph GPS verified, slightly uphill. The display matched the real speed almost exactly, which Andrew notes is actually unusual, as most scooters in this class either understate or overstate by 5 to 6 mph. The GoSoul 2 Pro reads accurately, which really matters when you are riding at 36 mph near traffic.

The dual motor setup is the hardware behind that number. Each motor peaks at 1,400W for a combined 2,800W, running on a 48V system. Hill climbing was tested on a steep grade — Ausom claims up to 33% slopes — and the scooter cleared it without drama in dual motor mode. Most scooters under $800 are single motor machines that struggle on anything steeper than a gentle incline, but the GoSoul 2 Pro doesn't have that problem.

Despite all that power, acceleration is smooth rather than aggressive. The tuning makes it quick enough to surprise most riders without being violent about it. The brakes arrived well dialed from the factory, and Andrew spent most of the day doing power slides and "stoppies" without a single complaint about braking power.

Hardware Walkthrough

The motor isn't the only standout for the budget category — the cockpit is also wider than any other comparably priced scooter. Andrew notes the handlebar width is the widest he has seen on a budget-friendly scooter, which translates directly to stability at higher speeds. Wing grips and a trigger throttle sit on the right side. The left side control module handles the electric horn, dual motor toggle, and turn signals. Up front, a four-LED adjustable headlight sits higher-mounted than typical and outperforms the lighting on scooters that cost significantly more.

The display is large and crisp in direct sunlight. Security is handled through both an NFC card reader and a PIN code, neither of which stops someone from physically picking the scooter up, but both of which prevent it from being powered on without authorization. The fold latch uses a double redundancy mechanism: even if the primary release triggers unexpectedly, a secondary catch holds the scooter in the folded position.

Tires are 10x2.75-inch tubeless pneumatics with hybrid off-road tread, yet another standout at this price point. Most budget scooters under $1,000 still use tubed tires; while tubeless units plug and repair far more easily, and also eliminate pinch flats from low pressure. Both ends run mechanical disc brakes paired with electric braking. Front and rear coil suspension is present, though it runs on the stiffer side. A rear kick plate rounds out the deck, another inclusion Andrew notes is uncommon under $800.

The battery is a 48V 18Ah unit with 864Wh of capacity. Charge time on the included 2-amp charger is approximately 9 hours from empty to full. That is slow and worth factoring in before purchase.

What We Loved

The price-to-performance ratio is the whole story here, and then some. At $799, the GoSoul 2 Pro delivers a GPS-verified 36 mph top speed, dual motor hill climbing, tubeless tires, NFC and PIN security, a bright four-LED headlight, high-mounted turn signals, and a rear kick plate. Despite the vast catalog of scooters Andrew has reviewed in past years, he cannot identify another one under $800 that checks all of those boxes simultaneously. The display accuracy is notable enough to mention again: no guessing what speed you are actually traveling.

Aesthetically, the scooter looks more expensive than it is. LED side accent lighting, clean panel lines, and build quality that reads mid-range rather than entry-level all contribute to a machine that does not announce its price point at a glance.

What Could Be Better

The center steering notch is the most significant handling quirk on the GoSoul 2 Pro. The steering geometry wants to lock into a centered, straight position, which creates stability when carving straight but a squirrely sensation during quick directional changes. Andrew's technique is to lean into the tire edges rather than fight the center position, and once that clicks the scooter settles. His assessment is that the center notch should be removed entirely, as it doesn't really improve the riding experience and creates more problems than it solves, especially for riders coming from scooters with more neutral steering.

The suspension is stiff. Ausom brands it as "Schoc-free" suspension, a play on "shock without the K," but in practice it is a coil suspension system with approximately one to one and a half inches of travel. Stiffer suspension does contribute to high-speed stability, and Andrew acknowledges that trade-off, but riders expecting a plush, compliant ride should calibrate expectations accordingly.

The deck has no grip tape and no silicone covering. It scratches easily and becomes slippery when wet. Both Andrew and Jimmy recommend adding aftermarket grip tape before riding, and neither can explain why Ausom skipped the silicone grip that nearly every competitor includes as standard.

The turn signal control button needs a redesign. Pressing the center to cancel an active signal can inadvertently trigger the opposite one instead. There is no auto-timeout, so a signal left on stays on. Andrew rode with his turn signal active for nearly seven minutes without noticing, with Jimmy watching and timing it from behind. On a machine traveling at 36 mph in traffic, that goes farther than an inconvenience and starts to tread into potential safety issue territory.

The electric horn is adequate for pedestrians, but useless for alerting car drivers. At a top speed that belongs on the road, Andrew considers motorcycle-grade horn output a more appropriate standard.

Ausom operates as a direct-to-consumer brand with no US retail presence and no local dealer network. Customer support happens via email and WhatsApp with their China-based team, and parts are shipped for self-repair. That model is the primary reason the price is where it is, and community feedback on previous Ausom models has been consistently positive. That said, buyers should go in without expecting to walk something into a local shop for service.

The Freshly Charged Verdict

The Ausom GoSoul 2 Pro does what it says: 36.5 mph top speed, dual motors, tubeless tires, and useful security features for under $800. No other scooter the Freshly Charged team has tested at this price point hits all of those marks simultaneously. The center notch steering requires an adjustment period, the suspension is firm, and the deck needs grip tape out of the box. But for a rider prioritizing speed with stability, hill-climbing ability, and value above everything else, the GoSoul 2 Pro is one of our favorite picks for most compelling budget option on the market.
