So, here are the top five, best electric scooter in 2021!
The fifth product on our list is the Gotrax GXL V2 Electric Scooter!
This is our pick for the Best Budget electric scooter!
It is available for around 250$!
We were very pleasantly surprised by the design of Gotrax GXL V2.
It looks smooth and stylish.
The big 8.5-inch pneumatic air tires allow for a more stable ride and the rear disk brake
provides a reliable stop.
The V2 folds by pulling the tiller towards the back wheel and folding the mainframe to
the rear fender and hooking it into the rear fender buckle for easy transport or storage.
A bigger 36V Lithium-ion battery allows riding up to 12.5 miles with a full charge.
Which should be enough for most of your commute inside or outside the city.
If that’s not enough you can recharge Gotrax GXL V2 in 4-5 hours back to 100%.
The V2 reaches 15.5 mph with powerful acceleration from the 250W hub motor at the front.
What is interesting is that we have seen people report Gotrax GXL V2 reaching speeds of up
to 18 mph with adults riding.
Very rarely can you find scooters performing better than mentioned suppliers' max specifications!
The GXL V2 max rider weight is just 220 pounds…
Being designed as a commuter electric scooter means most riders will be adults, so heavier
adults might need to pick a scooter with a higher max weight.
If you need to maneuver in busy streets or sidewalks or conserve battery life, there
are 2-speed modes to switch between max speed mode and economy mode.
Additionally, Gotrax Galaxy has regenerative braking on this scooter, so braking can regenerate
some power back to the battery.
The bigger rubber air tires, compared with some other electric scooters for commuting,
should handle tougher soil and some gravel, but don’t buy this scooter to ride through
forests!
Some of the pros of this product include; Good value for money…
Good looking and stylish…
8.5inch pneumatic air tires…
Easy to fold and transport…
Good max speed and distance!
However, a con for this product; No smartphone app or Bluetooth connectivity!
You are able to see battery life on the LED display in the middle of the handlebar if
you require a certain amount of charge to do a short trip.
In fourth place, we have The Segway Ninebot MAX!
Our option for the Best for long distances electric scooter!
It is usually priced at around 799$!
The Ninebot Max is powered by a 350-watt electric motor.
The max power rating is 800 watts, enough for the e-scooter to reach top speeds of 18.6
mph when the S mode is engaged.
The other two ride modes are Standard and Saving.
That, however, isn’t its main selling point.
Segway claims the scooter can travel for up to 40 miles on a single full battery charge,
and while that’s encouraging, we feel the rating is also a tad too optimistic.
So in real-life situations, expect it to offer a max range of up to roughly 25, maybe 30
miles at best.
The battery pack’s capacity is rated at 551 watt-hours and it takes about six hours
to fully charge it.
The cool thing, is that the e-scooter is fitted with a built-in power adapter located right
in the board, which means you can charge it on the go with a small power cord instead
of a full-length charging cable.
Segway says you’ll be able to climb 20-percent incline slopes, so that’s pretty impressive.
You’ll also want to keep in mind that the e-scooter itself is quite heavy 42.1 pounds,
so moving it around isn’t the easiest task.
On the flip side, it can hold a max load of up to 220 pounds, so you can easily squeeze
in a bag or a large backpack of sorts on your e-scooter commute.
Segway also says you’ll be able to zip over effortlessly over asphalt obstacles that are
smaller than 0.4 inches and gaps under 1.2 inches.
Visually, the Ninebot Max is on par with other e-scooters out there.
It comes in a matte dark grey paint job with black wheels with brown trim.
The Ninebot Max comes with built-in LED front lights, and it also features a rear LED brake
light Some of the pros of this product include;
Long-range (40.4 miles)…
Self-healing tires…
Cruise control…
LED display…
Access ride data via the mobile app!
However, a con for this product; Portable but on the heavy side!
It’s sturdy, it has a hefty range, plenty of power, and riding it is comfortable!
The third product on our list is Glion Dolly Foldable Lightweight Adult Electric Scooter!
It is available for around 430$!
This is our option for the best electric scooter for commuters!
This is a solidly built scooter.
The Glion Dolly's aluminum frame looks and feels like it can take a lot of abuse; Its
handlebars can be adjusted to one of three heights, and the deck of the scooter is covered
in the same sort of grippy surface you'll find on a skateboard.
The controls are pretty simple on the Glion Dolly: A red button on the right handlebar
turns on the scooter and activates its lights.
There's a spring-loaded twist throttle on the right, and a similar mechanism on the
left handlebar to activate the brakes.
Also on the right-side handlebar is a small green display that shows the battery life
and expected range, the latter marked by four green bars.
The Glion Dolly adeptly handled both city and suburban streets.
Both of its wheels are rubber, which made for a fairly smooth ride, but you'll still
feel every bump in the road.
The small shock absorber for the front tire doesn't do much of anything.
The Dolly has two braking systems: The first is a twist-grip on the left handle, which
alters the voltage flowing to the motor and creates a magnet to slow the scooter down.
The second braking system is a flexible rear bumper, which you step on to apply pressure
to the rear wheel.
Glion says the Dolly has a 15-mile range, but that assumes a 160-pound rider, in 75-degree
temperature, on a paved road that's hard and flat, with no wind and at a steady 9 mph.
The Dolly is made for commuters.
Glion put a lot of thought into how you'll use the Dolly when you're not riding it.
In as little as 10 seconds, you will be able to fold the scooter and carry it onto a train.
Some of the pros for this product include; Sturdy, adjustable design…
Folds up fast…
Convenient carry handle…
Durable build materials…
Bright headlight!
However, a con for this product; Basic display hard to see in sunlight!
The Glion Dolly strikes a near perfect balance of price and performance, especially for commuters.
At this price, it's not the least nor the most expensive electric scooter, yet is fast
enough to dodge slow-moving traffic, and folds up quickly and easily for when you need to
carry it around.
The second product on our list is the NANROBOT D4+ Powerful Electric Scooter!
A high-end model with impressive range and speed!
It is priced at around 1300$!
The Nanrobot D4+ is a pricey but ultimately effective foldable electric scooter that experienced
users will find attractive.
Be warned though, if you are just getting started in the world of electric scooters,
the extreme speeds that you find with this unit won’t just be overwhelming, they will
also be dangerous.
The range and speed of this scooter are both off the charts.
Able to reach top speeds of 40 miles per hour, this unit will be unsafe for riders that don’t
know what they are doing out there.
Meanwhile, the 40-mile range means that you will be able to go the distance with no problem
with this scooter.
These impressive statistics are all facilitated by a staggering 2000 W motor.
As a result of this unit’s sheer power, the scooter is able to support maximum weights
of 330 pounds and it can climb hills at an incline of 30 degrees.
The seventy-pound frame is crafted from high-quality aluminum to be both durable and as lightweight
as possible.
The Nanrobot is controlled via an LCD display on the handles.
The user is able to shift between single and dual motor modes.
The scooter also features pull brakes near the handle so that you are able to stop seamlessly
when needed.
One of the best safety features found on the Nanrobot D4+ is the brakes.
Both the front and the back brakes are electric and facilitate quick, smooth stops.
The pneumatic tires are also effective shock absorbing agents that help you enjoy a smooth
ride.
The shock absorption function makes it safer to zip around at high speeds.
It also features LED headlights and taillights that increase your visibility, especially
as you ride at night.
Some of the pros of this product include; Quick acceleration… it is very fast 40 MPH
top speed…
45 miles range…
All wheel drive!
However, a con for this product; this is expensive!
The D4+ has an IP53 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and spraying water,
so for obvious safety reasons, we wouldn’t recommend taking this out in torrential rain.
And coming in the first place, we have the UNAGI The Model One E500!
This is our pick for the Best Overall ELECTRIC SCOOTER!
You can get it for around 900$!
There's a minimum of fuss about the deck, which has clean, minimalist lines.
The top of the deck is coated in grippy rubber.
The Unagi is controlled using two thumb paddles.
The one by the right handlebar is for acceleration, and the left paddle is for braking.
Above each paddle is a small button; the one on the right lets you switch between its three
riding modes (which limit its top speed).
The left button sounds the scooter's horn, which is loud and high pitched;
In between is a large, bright LCD panel that displays your speed, distance traveled, and
estimated battery life remaining.
You can switch among three riding modes, which limit the top speed of the scooter.
Two LEDs in the front provide a clear view of what's ahead when you're riding in the
dark.
While not as bright as the Glion, it was more than effective.
The Unagi also has a large red taillight, which remains on, but flashes when you apply
the brakes.
The E500 has a dedicated 250-watt motor in each wheel, supplying 500 watts and 32 newton
meters of torque so you can easily tackle hills with up to 15 degree inclines.
THE motors are completely custom-built utilizing rare-earth neodymium magnets and a monitoring
system to prevent overheating.
While it's limited to 15 mph, I could feel that it was ready and willing to go much faster.
Unagi uses rubber, rather than inflatable wheels for its scooter, but instead of a solid
mass, they have slots around the circumference, which in theory offers a smoother ride without
the danger of getting a flat.
Unagi advertises the Model One as having a 15.5-mile range, but as with all-electric
scooters, it's a figure based on the most optimistic of circumstances
Some of the pros of this product include; Quality materials and LG batteries…
Pleasing design…
Clear display…
Powerful AND FAST!
However, a con for this product; Not good for rough terrain!
At nearly $1,000, the Unagi Model One is not cheap, but it's the best electric scooter,
especially for those who need to get up steep hills.
It has powerful motors, a bright and clear display, and it has an awesome sense of style!
