Best overall under $2000 – Gotrax GX3
The Gotrax GX3 is Gotrax’s flagship scooter, and they really went all out. The GX3 has a 38 mph top speed, 60-mile range (in ideal conditions), dual 1000W motors, and adjustable hydraulic suspension. Its high deck clearance (8”) also makes it a solid choice for off-roading, and we were quite impressed with the top-tier components like Nutt hydraulic brakes and a magnetized folding clip. Overall, the GX3 stands out as a well-built, versatile scooter, at a reasonable price point.

Best Overall If Money Is No Object – Dualtron X Limited
The Dualtron X Limited is the biggest, baddest and beefiest scooter on the market. It has the biggest battery (5,040Wh), weighs the most (183 lbs), has the plushest suspension, the widest tires (5″) the brightest front and rear lights, the loudest horn, the widest deck, the highest price tag ($5995) and it is worth every penny. On flat ground, I reached 67 mph, and my 0-60 mph time was 13.23 seconds, just shy of the Wolf King GT’s Freshly Charged Certified 12.07-second record. It looks extremely intimidating, is nearly impossible to fold or transport, but with the 100+ mile range you can just ride to your riding destination instead of hauling it. Often when I would ride with friends on trails, they would show up with their car and pull out their EUC or scooter. Meanwhile I would ride directly to the meet-up point, complete the trail ride, and ride home with 50% battery to spare.
🔹 Big – 84V 60Ah battery, 183 lb weight, 13×5-inch tires
🔹 Powerful – 67mph top speed, 0-60mph in 13.23s, 2 x 2000W motors (nominal)
Best Commuter – Emove Cruiser V2
The Emove Cruiser V2 is an upgraded version of Voro Motor’s extremely popular Emove Cruiser, featuring the same 52V 30Ah LG battery, and the same impressive 62-mile range. It has a single 1000W motor (as well as a dual-motor option) reaching speeds up to 33 mph. Notable upgrades from V1 include enhanced suspension for improved ride comfort, a larger color display, and streamlined internal cable management. The split rim design also facilitates easier tire changes, and the IPX6 water resistance rating brings it up to (and even past) modern scooter standards. While the scooter’s weight has increased to 74 lbs, it remains a versatile choice for riders seeking performance, reliability, and unbeatable range for the price.
🔹 Enhanced Performance – Dual motor option, 52V 30Ah LG battery, 33 mph top speed, 62 miles of range.
🔹 Rider-Friendly Design – Features like an adjustable steering pole, upgraded suspension, and a split rim design ensure comfort and ease of maintenance.
🔹 Durable – Upgraded IPX6 water resistance rating, simplified internal cable management, added frame weight

Best Luxury Commuter – Apollo Go
We separated out “luxury commuter” from the commuter category, because some scooters go above and beyond to provide a stellar riding experience. The Apollo Go is one such case. Apollo has one of the best apps we’ve tested, and all of their newly released scooters feature bluetooth app connectivity, self-healing tires, large, bright displays, high-mounted turn signals, regenerative braking, an IP66 water rating (the best in the business) and a sleek look. The Go in particular has a 36V 15Ah battery and a 28mph top speed, making it a solid commuter choice with all the Apollo bells and whistles.
🔹 Fast and Smooth – 28 mph top speed, dual motors, suspension and regenerative braking
🔹 Smart & Customizable – Bluetooth app, self-healing tires, intuitive controls
🔹 All-Weather Commuter – IP66 water resistance, high-mounted turn signals

Best High-Powered – Dualtron Spider Max
The Dualtron Spider Max is a high-performance electric scooter, made by the king of high-performance, Dualtron. Dualtron excels at power-to-weight ratio, and the Spider Max is no exception – it weighs just 69.5 lbs, and reaches a top speed of 42mph, thanks to its dual 1000W motors and square-wave controllers. It also has a 60V 30Ah (1800 Wh) battery, providing substantial range. The scooter also has the classic Minimotors EY4 display, Bluetooth app connectivity, folding handlebars, and controllable RGB stem lights. The Spider Max has everything we love about Dualtron, and at $2099, is also one of the cheapest in its class.
🔹 High-Speed Performance – Achieves 42 mph with dual 1000W motors and instant square-wave acceleration
🔹 Enhanced Safety and Design – Bright front light, motorcycle-grade horn, spacious kick plate with a distinctive spider web pattern.

Best Luxury High-Powered – Apollo Pro V7
The Apollo Pro V7 is about as luxury as it gets when it comes to electric scoooters. It has a top speed of 44 mph (which we wish were faster) and a range between 31 to 62 miles, depending on riding conditions. It features dual 1200W motors (6000W peak), a 52V 30Ah UL-certified battery, and 12-inch self-healing tires with “puncture guard.” The scooter is also equipped with front adjustable hydraulic suspension and rear rubber absorbers, a 1000-lumen headlight, handlebar-mounted turn signals, customizable lighting, wireless phone charging, an integrated Apollo app for over-the-air updates and performance customization, an IP66 water resistance rating and an overall robust build supporting riders up to 330 lbs. However, at a price of $3,599, it is more expensive than some competitors offering higher top speeds and larger batteries. If money is no object, this is the scooter for you.
🔹 Advanced Suspension System – Features front adjustable hydraulic suspension with upgraded 3500 lb coils and rear rubber absorbers
🔹 Innovative Folding Mechanism – Spring-loaded folding handle and secure locking system
🔹 Comprehensive App Integration – The Apollo app offers over-the-air updates, performance tweaks, and extensive customization options

Best Superscooter – Yume Predator
The YUME Predator is a high-performance electric scooter that offers exceptional value in its class. It falls at the other end of the spectrum from the Apollo Pro – instead of focusing on the app, features and ride quality, it instead has a blistering top speed of 63 mph and a HUGE 72V 50Ah battery. It’s also big dimensions-wise, with 13-inch tires, a weight of 170 lbs, and a deck so long you can fit 2 people and have plenty of room to spare.
🔹 Speed and Range – Reaches up to 63 mph with a massive 72V 50Ah battery

Best Off-Road – Teverun Tetra
The Teverun Tetra is a bit of an oddball – it looks more like a stand-up electric ATV than a scooter, and it is designed to tackle any terrain with ease. Equipped with dual 1500W motors (with an optional quad-motor configuration), it reaches speeds up to 34 mph and offers a claimed range of 124 miles, powered by a 60V 60Ah (3600 Wh) battery. The Tetra also has 13-inch off-road tires, a spacious 21″ x 10″ deck, adjustable spring suspension, a 4-inch TFT display, NFC card reader, remote locking, and a Smart Battery Management System (BMS) that integrates with the Teverun app for real-time monitoring and customization. Weighing 93 lbs and supporting riders up to 330 lbs, the Tetra aims to be an indestructible monster that can go pretty much anywhere, and do pretty much anything. We love ours.
🔹 Versatile All-Terrain Performance – Ride through snow, sand, gravel, and dirt effortlessly with 13-inch off-road tires and adjustable spring suspension.
🔹 Spacious & Comfortable Ride – 21″ x 10″ deck with multiple riding positions, ensuring comfort over long distances and over various terrain
