This is not another bs top 10 list. What you're about to see are the results from the largest
personal electric scooter survey in history. Nearly 1,000 people from all over the world
rated the scooter they personally own. This is not our opinion or fake reviews. This is the top 13
personal electric scooters as voted by you. Number 13, Gotrax GXL Commuter V2.
The V2 has been a stalwart entry-level scooter for a couple years now. At 250 dollars,
most electric scooters are still considered toys, while the Gotrax is a real-deal commuter.
In our performance test, the V2 sped up to a top speed of 13 miles per hour and cruised in at just
over 10 miles of range. While not a thrill seeker scooter, the low top speed actually helps the
scooter to stop more quickly and contributes to its overall great safety score. In fact,
it checks nearly all the boxes in terms of safety, including dual pneumatic tires a disc brake,
high mounted front light, and a loud bell. It does lack a rear light so you'll need to pick that up,
but otherwise, this ultra-budget scooter is ready to roll. The V2 has recently been updated to the
XR. Number 12 Xiaomi m365. Long live the king of electric scooters the Xiaomi is the model that
brought electric scooter sharing to the masses when Bird chose it for its inaugural scooter.
Since then the m365 has become the most popular scooter in the world for the personal market,
and not without reason. While still budget-friendly at less than 400 on amazon
the m365 has a top speed of 16 miles per hour and an impressive tested range of 14.6 miles.
Bang for your buck this might be the best deal in the industry. It also takes all
the safety features of the Gotrax and adds a built-in rear light for added nighttime safety.
The Xiaomi also includes a functional app, cruise control, and a comfortable thumb throttle. Number
eleven zero nine. Often replicated, but never duplicated, the zero nine packs an astounding
array of features in its 40-pound frame. When you're looking for a well-balanced scooter that
does nearly everything well, this scooter is hard to beat. Top speed is higher than expected at over
28 miles per hour, and you'll get a real-world range of nearly 22 miles.
When commuting, you'll have a comfortable ride thanks to dual pneumatic tires, dual suspension,
optional cruise control, and a large deck. And when you come home at night in the pitch black,
you'll thank your lucky stars for the bright stem and under deck lighting, so cars can easily
see you from a distance. Since I live upstairs, I would get the best scooter under 45 pounds and in
my opinion, this is it. Number 10, E-move Cruiser. The E-move Cruiser has come out as a huge winner
in 2019 after Voro Motors went crazy with upgrades over the previous model. The latest version now
includes semi-hydraulic brakes for easy braking, an ip67 water resistance rating for when you get
stuck in the rain, tubeless pneumatic tires so you'll have less of a chance of getting flats,
and an LG battery for long-lasting battery durability. Besides this buffet of benefits, the
Cruiser also has the longest range of any scooter we've ever tested at 50.3 miles. Add to all this
some of the best commuter comforts on any scooter, including turn signals, a loud electronic horn,
a massive deck for riding comfort, and cruise control for advanced users on those longer rides.
Put all this together and you have our absolute favorite long-range commuter. Number nine,
Mercane Wide Wheel Pro. Batmobile-like looks with ultra-fat tires and punchy dual-motor
acceleration, the Wide Wheel Pro is a favorite among riders who want something fast and fun,
but aren't looking for a heavyweight beast-scooter we tested the Pro and it
had a top speed of 26.7 miles per hour, with 19.3 miles of real-world range in its fastest mode.
The Pro is an upgraded version of the original fan-favorite Wide Wheel, and now includes an LCD
display and dual disc brakes. The Pro is one of the most fun scooters to ride due to its thrilling
but not scary acceleration. Some owners use it for daily commuting, but we like to think of it
more as a fun, weekend scooter for joyriding in fair weather. Number eight, FluidFreeride Horizon.
The Horizon is an affordable, super practical, very well-balanced daily commuter. It ticks
all the boxes for features that you need for city riding and on all types of roads.
It has dual suspension and a rear airless tire for less flats. We tested the Horizon and it had a top
speed of 24 miles per hour and a fantastic 26-mile range, in its fastest mode. One of the best things
about this scooter is it folds compactly for carrying onto public transit or storing.
Not only does a stem fold but it also telescopes, and the handlebars fold as well.
In its smallest configuration it's just 38 and a half inches long, and 7 inches wide.
At 42 pounds it's not super light, but it is one of the lightest scooters with this much range.
Number seven, Xiaomi m365 Pro. The m365 Pro is a slightly more powerful, larger battery version of
the world's favorite Xiaomi m365. It weighs just 4 pounds more than the original, but increases the
range to 25 miles, while also having more power for faster acceleration on the flats as well as
hills. We can see the huge appeal of this scooter. It has a universally loved, refined, Xiaomi design
with even more range and power. The Pro also has a bright LED information display, something absent
in the original. The Pro also packs some fantastic safety and performance features, including dual
pneumatic tires, a disc brake great design, and range for days. All in a 33-pound package.
Unfortunately it is not widely available in North America as of April 2020, but riders elsewhere in
the world should be able to pick this scooter up for just slightly more than the original m365,
making it a steal if you can get it. Number six, Kaabo Mantis Pro. The Kaabo Mantis Pro
tips the scales at just 64 pounds, yet has all the trappings of a legitimate beast scooter. It has
dual 1000 watt motors and hydraulic disc brakes that help the scooter start and stop very quickly.
We tested the top speed to be 37.3 miles per hour, and the range to be 33.7 miles. It accelerates to
30 miles per hour in just 5.8 seconds, which is about the same length of time it takes regular
scooters to reach 15 miles per hour. The Mantis has giant air-filled tires and an adjustable
dual-spring suspension that soaks up bumps, yet is stiff enough to keep you tacked to the road.
It can handle rough roads, but the Mantis thrives on smooth pavement, and it loves high speed.
The scooter also just looks super cool, and Kaabo got a lot of the small touches right, including
the super grippy deck with Mantis badging. Overall it's an aggressive-looking scooter with the
credentials to back it up. Number five, Segway Ninebot Max. While sold as a personal scooter,
the Max was developed to handle the rigors of the rough sharing market, and as such, is the
most robust and durable scooter on the market. When someone needs a scooter they can rely on,
the Segway Ninebot Max should be the number one choice. The Max sports a massive battery for its
size, which produced a tested-range of over 28 miles, and a tested top speed of nearly 18 miles
per hour. The Max also includes large 10-inch puncture-resistant tubeless pneumatic tires,
a legitimate ipx5 water resistance rating so you won't get stuck in the rain,
a comfortable thumb throttle, a functional app that allows you to enable cruise control
or disable the scooter, and an internal power brick so you don't have to lug around your large
charger. You can simply plug it in with a standard power cord. At this price -ange, the Max goes the
furthest and has the best construction. It is also widely available, so you shouldn't have a problem
getting your hands on one. Number 4. Zero 10x. The Zero 10x is an extreme scooter that is not only
fast as Hell, but also one of the most comfortable to ride. It is a full-size beast-scooter weighing
close to 80 pounds, that has 24-inch handlebars, and a generous deck that gives it more than
19 by 9 inches of standing room. The 10x comes in a handful of variants with increasing battery
power and features, all the way up to the savage 60 volt 10x, which has a sizeable,
1260 watt-hour LG battery pack, fully hydraulic disc brakes, and dual 30 amp controller motors.
Range and top speed will depend on the variant you get. We tested the lowest powered variant which
gave 24 miles of range, but the top-of-the-line variants should be in the mid-30s. The Zero brand
has incredible loyalty among its owners who trick them out with all kinds of add-ons and upgrades.
The combination of massive power, industry best suspension for incredible ride quality
multiple configuration options, and if you buy in the U.S. one of the highest-rated sellers.
It is no wonder the 10x was rated one of the best electric scooters by owners from around the world.
Number three, Kaabo Mantis. The Kaabo Mantis, base model, is the less expensive, slightly more tamed
version of the Mantis Pro. The Mantis base is still fast, thanks to its dual-motor configuration
and still a legitimate beast-scooter just not quite as head-snapping as the Pro model. However
it was fast enough to take fourth place in the recent San Francisco Cannonball Run,
just behind three Rions. It is the same frame, build quality, and suspension as the Pro, but
the dual disc brakes are semi-hydraulic instead of fully hydraulic, and it doesn't have the upgraded
trigger-throttle and controller. We think of the mantis as a more practical beast scooter.
It weighs just 62 pounds, which is on the lighter side for an extreme-performance scooter. The stem
folds and locks into place for easy carrying, and the scooter isn't so ridiculously massive as to
give you a hernia when you try to move it. Number 2 Kaabo Wolf Warrior. The Kaabo Wolf Warrior burst
onto the scene last year and quickly rose through the ranks of beast-scooters. It literally eats the
baddest electric scooters for lunch. Acceleration on the Wolf is simply brutal, and it's the
fastest scooter we've ever tested reaching 40 miles per hour in just 9.4 seconds. Despite
its electron-guzzling dual motors, it still delivered 42.2 miles of range during our tests.
It also includes a slew of rider comforts including best-in-class hydraulic suspension,
a super loud horn seemingly ripped off of a motorcycle, deck lighting for night visibility,
and the brightest front lights we've ever seen. The Wolf Warrior has distinctive
giant front shocks and an ultra-solid stem. We love the huge deck and exoskeleton-like frame,
the Wolf is one of the most distinctive scooters. There is nothing quite like it, and it delivers a
ton of performance for the price. This is why we suspect it tied for the highest average rating.
Number one, Dualtron Thunder. The Thunder takes its throne as the number one rated scooter by
riders all over the world. The Thunder tied with the Wolf Warrior with an average rating of 4.9
however it had nearly three times as many votes, which is why we are putting it at number one. It
shouldn't be surprising that the top-rated scooter is also the most expensive on the list. Minimotors
has been making high-performance scooters for a long time and this is readily apparent on the
Thunder. It has excellent build quality, a giant deck, ultra-quiet adjustable rubber suspension,
massive tires for soaking up bumps and obstacles in the road, and even mood lighting on the stem
that can be customized by an included remote. When you squeeze down on the trigger throttle, hold on
for dear life. Its acceleration is simply brutal. Riders all over the world have made their choice,
and the Thunder is the clear winner. Check out the video description for more detailed
info on each top scooter. Until next time, ride safe, and don't forget to wear your helmet.
