Things We Love

1. Exceptional Power and Speed for the Price: With dual motors delivering 1600W of power (2400W peak), the Thunder 10 is the fastest dual-motor scooter tested under $1,000, offering premium performance at a budget-friendly price point.
2. Premium Features Like Hydraulic Brakes and Suspension: It includes hydraulic brakes for strong stopping power and a rare rubber cartridge suspension (typically seen on high-end Dualtron scooters), ensuring a comfortable and stable ride.

Room for Improvement

• Compromises on Long-Term Reliability: While it’s well-built and fun, it doesn’t fully meet all expectations for long-term reliability, suggesting potential concerns with durability or maintenance over extended use. Splach is also a smaller company, without the top-tier brand name like Segway or Apollo.
