Top 17 Fastest Electric Performance Scooters 20-80 MPH
- Read Time: 17 min
Are you in a hurry to get somewhere really fast, or just a speed demon adrenaline junkie, recently bitten by the e scooter bug?
And now you just want to know, which is the fastest electric scooter you can get your hands on asap? Well, let's go through the options and also run through some pros and cons of high-speed electric scooters.
How fast can an electric scooter go?
What is fast? Well...it depends doesn't it...on the vehicle in question, and where you travel. A lot of today's electric kick scooters do 25 mph (40 kph). In a car, that feels relatively slow, on a bike downhill f.e. it feels significantly faster. On a skateboard...I would probably wet myself. But on an electric kick scooter, I have the handlebar, which gives a sense of security, so I dare.
But ask me to step on a skateboard and go 25 mph downhill, I would tell you to go somewhere really dark. In any case, to fall or hit someone or something, at 25 mph is not recommendable, whether it is on a bike, skateboard, or a powerful electric scooter.
So for the sake of this article's relevance, we think 20 mph (32 kph) and above is fast for electric kick scooters especially as they are used a lot in urban areas where you have to consider other road users such as pedestrians, bikes, and cars.
What to consider when buying a fast electric scooter
It seems top speeds on electric scooters are going up, and where is the limit one asks? In reality, unless you are about to set some world record, how fast do you really want to go on one of these devices?It baffles me to see people use e scooters without any protective gear. Not even a helmet!
These are not toys but proper speed scooters, and speed can be dangerous if not respected. The same people would never ski or snowboard without a proper helmet, because of the risks going down a mountain entails. And remember, the snow can add as a dampener if you tumble whilst skiing, whereas the tarmac won't.
Protective gear, as you would use if you rode a motorcycle or a mountain bike downhill is a smart investment. Some people ride e scooters with a bike helmet which is better than nothing. But if you went on a moped or a regular scooter that does 30+mph... would you do the same?
For some of these high speed scooters, nothing but a full face helmet is recommended. Brakes, tires, suspension, and overall build quality might be more important than top speed, and also the durability of the lithium battery if you plan on going full tilt all the time. And last but not least, your style of riding, and where you ride. Are you considerate, or do you fall into the "hooligan" category? However, if you want to be an off road "hooligan", then check this article on the best off road scooters:
Fastest Electric Scooters by MPH/KPH
So which are the options out there to be considered if you do have a need for speed? Here's our top list.
60 Mph Electric Scooters
Stepping on a 60+mph (96+kph) e scooter, there are a few things to consider. Generally speaking, when going very fast, you want stiffer suspension and be closer to the ground for maximum stability as well as having great brakes and tires.
Going flat out on one of these, you need to keep in mind that tiny steering movements have a very big impact and you need to know how to brake properly using your body position and knees to your advantage. Lean backward slightly, as if you are about to sit down and bend your knees.
Never ride with your feet parallel but instead like you would a snowboard. One foot in front of the other for maximum balance and control.
Consider yourself warned!
Wolf King GT Pro - 62 mph (100 kph)
The Muscle car of Electric Scooters
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |

The Wolf King GT Pro has "performance scooter" written all over it. The name itself says it all. The various Wolfs out there are all top performers but someone has to be King. Even within the Wolf family. It has everything the popular Wolf Warrior and GT Pro do and then some.
One would be forgiven for thinking that the Wolf King GT Pro is merely an update of the already brilliant Wolf GT Pro as they look so similar. But the upgrades make you feel the difference.
First, there is the higher top speed, 62 mph (100 kph). Dual 2000W/7200W peak power motors and a bigger 72V 35Ah battery, as well as upgraded sinewave controllers, make it accelerate super fast. 30 mph (48 kph) is reached in just under 4 seconds. This is the fastest production scooter for sale at the time of writing.
That much motor power under your thumb might feel scary but the acceleration curve is well "mapped" and keeping it all calm and under control is not a problem. Stability is brilliant and even at high speeds, it feels rock solid. Dual stems will have that effect and the added weight of the fork-mounted motor controllers makes it even more so.
It has a longer stem and wider handlebar than the Wolf Warrior which increases the feel of control. A full color center display shows all the information you need.
You will want and need to be able to stop properly as well, and the dual front and rear zoom hydraulic brakes are phenomenal. From 15 mph (24 kph) to a complete standstill only takes 9 feet (3 m). Make sure to bend your knees and lean backward when riding the King under braking.
90 miles (144 km) of range is possible with some conservative riding and going off road is definitely on the menu for the King.
11 inch tubeless self repairing tires and dual front hydraulic shocks with dual spring rear suspension will be as fun as it can get on dirt trails and less than perfect surfaces. It will fly up hills and once there, can proclaim itself "King of the mountain".
This is only for those who know what they want, want the best, and are prepared for it.
PROS
- Extreme power & top speed
- Motorcycle graded dual suspension
- IPX5 Water resistant
CONS
- Very heavy
Wolf King GT PRO is Amazing!!
This scooter is amazing and worth the price tag. I have already logged 241 miles on this beast and It’s the best purchase I have made since my Onewheel. This summer has been a blast zipping around neighborhood's and trails. If you're on the fence, get off and grab one of these things. You won’t be disappointed!!
NAMI Burn E 2 Max - 60 mph (96 kph)
The Most Innovative Ultra Performance Scooter Ever Built
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |

Weight Limit: 330 lbs / 150 kg | Display: Adv. thumb throttle display | Battery Position: Under Board |
Another 60 mph contender is the NAMI Burn E2 Max which is an improved version of the popular original Burn E based on community feedback and requests. NAMI has set its sights on delivering some of the best electric scooters you can buy and are not afraid to think outside the box in doing so.
Some of the E2 upgrades are 4-piston hydraulic brakes, waterproof motor connectors, and a wider handlebar.
Dual 1500W/8400W peak power motors and 50A sinewave controllers pack a massive punch and acceleration.
It is as fast from zero to 30 mph (48 kph) as the above reviewed Wolf King GT Pro. Just under 4 seconds. And the top speed is 60 mph (96 kph). A large Li-ion 72V 32Ah battery means 90 miles (145 km) of range riding economically. Riding less conservatively you can still expect a 50 mile (80 km) range.
The brakes are similarly impressive. Fully hydraulic 160mm LOGAN disc brakes with big pads will bring you to a complete stop from 15 mph (24 kph) in 9 feet (3 m).
Adjustable front & rear hydraulic coil shock suspension is one of, if not the best, on the market. The ride quality is top notch.
In contrast to the Wolf King, it is a single stem scooter which means stability is not as good as on a double stem version. But NAMI has cleverly added an adjustable steering dampener which comes in handy at high speeds. It significantly reduces wobble.
This is an all terrain scooter and 11 inch air filled tires are there to accommodate for this.
As with the Wolf King GT Pro, this is not a beginner's scooter and does not fall under the "budget" scooter category. But if you know what you want and you will use it a lot, it will be a great companion.
PROS
- Extreme power & top speed
- Brilliant an Unique design
- IP55 Water resistant
CONS
- Very heavy

40-50 mph Electric Scooters
Leaving the top echelon of speeds we move a step down. Not a big one though as 40-50 mph can still be considered performance scooters territory and should be plenty fast even for daredevils.
Wolf GT Pro - 50 mph (80 kph)
Next Generation All-Terrain 50 mph Electric Scooter
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |

Motor: 2 x 1500W base / 8400W peak | Tires: tubeless 11" | Dimensions: 53 x 24.5 x 57 inches |

The GT Pro is very similar to the King. Although its performance is stellar, as mentioned above, there can be only one king. But that is not to say that the GT Pro is not a ruler. Because it truly is a high performance electric scooter.
The Pro has a top speed of 50 mph (80 kph) and 1200W/5400W peak output dual hub motors with a 60V 35Ah battery good for a 60 mile (96 km) range. The acceleration and torque are massive and it will spin both its wheels easily. Zero to 30 mph (48 kph) is dealt with in just under 5 seconds.
Riding stability is as good as on the other Wolfs as it has that same double stem and motorcycle grade hydraulic front shock absorbers.
It also has some serious stopping power with 160 mm rotors and fully hydraulic brakes. From 15 mph (24 kph) to a complete standstill only takes 9 feet (3 m) if you know your braking technique.
Everything else is the same quality as the King. Thumb throttle perfectly mapped for smooth control of all that power as well as various riding modes and customization of controller settings and electric braking strength easily done while riding due to a brilliant cockpit design.
A full-color center display shows all the information you need. It is delivered on air-filled 11-inch self-repairing off-road or road tires depending on your preference. All the Wolfs are good for heavier riders as they all have a weight capacity of 330 lbs (150 kg). You pay slightly less than for the King but get performance very close to it.
PROS
- Insane acceleration
- Self-Reparing tires
- IPX5 Water resistant
CONS
- Very heavy
"This is a beast !!"
"This machine is in a league of its own. I've had a few "daily" runners and this is my first performance scooter. I am absolutely blown away at the build quality and the solid feel of this scooter on the road. Shipping was incredibly quick and the giant box arrived 2 days earlier than expected.
The power and acceleration is incredible so be careful when you first take off. This is truly a beast and I love it."
Wolf Warrior 11 - 50 mph
The Heavy-duty and All-Terrain 50 mph Electric Scooter
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |
---|---|---|
Motor: 2x 1200W base / 5400W peak | Tires: 11" tubeless tires | Dimensions: 49.2 x 24.6 x 49.2 inches |
Battery: LG Li-ion 60V 35Ah | Suspension: Front hydraulic / Rear springs | Folded Dim: 59 x 11 x 19 inches |
Range: 70 miles (eco / single drive) | Brakes: Front and Rear Hydraulic | Weight: 101 lbs |
Top Speed: 50 Mph | Lights: Front / Side/ Rear LEDs | Drive: Front & Rear Wheel Drive |
Weight Limit: 330 lbs | Display: Minimotors Display / throttle | Battery Position: Under Board |
When the Wolf Warrior first came out, it looked like "Off road e scooter 2.0". The first thing that struck onlookers was the front motorcycle style inverted hydraulic shock absorber. It looked like it could handle some heavy duty riding and provide high performance on most surfaces as intended.
Tremendous power from dual 1200W/5400W peak power motors will reach a top speed of 50 mph (80 kph).
It takes 1.9 seconds to reach 15 mph (24 kph) and 9.4 seconds to 40 mph (64 kph)!!...so if you like that buzz of acceleration... well then.
It looked like you could take a sledgehammer to it and it would not break. Sturdily built frame but still looks cool in a way that scares other e scooters off.
11 inch tubeless knobby fat tires. That front hydraulic and rear spring suspension, and front/rear hydraulic disc brakes with ABS, are all there to make the Warrior experience truly unique.
The reviews and feedback were so great that the above mentioned King GT Pro and GT Pro are further developments of this package.
In eco single engine mode, the 60V 32Ah battery will have a range of 70 miles (112 km), and climbing as steep as 30% hills is not a problem.
If the bigger Wolf brothers feel a bit too much of everything, the Warrior 11 might be a perfect companion.
PROS
- Great Suspension system
- Off road & road tires available
- Very long range
CONS
- Not one you carry around
The wolf is the best scooter
"The scooter is so fast and powerful that traffic is not a problem you can actually ride at 45 mph no problem. And the top speed is 50 I got it up 53 mph that’s incredible and the battery life is so long that if u do 50 miles your the man . It will go 90 miles I believe it all I can say is it worth the money"

NAMI also offers an alternative to get a slightly less powerful yet still brilliant version of the top tier in the family. The Burn E2 has the same phenomenal and raved about ride quality as the E2 Max and the same 90 mile (145 km) range.
The top speed is 45 mph (72 kph) and there is plenty of power on offer from the dual motors of a continuous 1000W/5000W peak power. Zero to 30 mph (48 kph) is reached in just over 4 seconds.
All these high performance scooters are equipped with proper braking abilities and so it is with the E2. Fully hydraulic LOGAN 160 mm disc brakes, as well as an adjustable integrated electric brake, will stop you very effectively, only bettered by its bigger brother E2 Max with its four-piston calipers. This version has two.
Some call the NAMI the Ferrari of the scooter world and maybe rightly so. The build quality with a heat treated welded tubular frame and adjustable suspension provides superb ride quality and handling.
Based on community feedback, NAMI has also integrated innovative technology such as a large waterproof smart display. It is easy to operate and lets the rider adjust various settings according to preference. Acceleration strength can independently be adjusted on each motor to suit your preference.
There are 5 different ride modes which include that magic word turbo for extra power. Funny how a device connected to increasing power by exhaust gases now is a word used in the electric vehicle world to symbolize more "oomph".
Weighing just under 100 lbs (45 kg) the E2 is slightly lighter than other similar beast scooters. Also good for heavier riders with a 330 lbs (150 kg) max weight.
PROS
- Great sine wave controllers
- Excellent both on & off road
- Very long range
CONS
- Not one you carry around
"This is my very first super scooter.. and I must say I’m impressed. I went with the Burn E 2 (not max) for the savings. Don’t let the non brand battery or less power scare you away. This thing is powerful. The acceleration is quite intense and I’ve been cruising around 40mph no problem. (I’m 6’3”, 235 lbs) and it has no problem ripping me up the steepest hills. The ride is so smooth, and the suspension is impressive. Just an all around fun, useful scooter. I’m in the suburbs of Chicago, but enjoy taking it up town and around the local trails. The range is impressive.. and the Burn E 2 is built like a tank, with a great look, nice accent lighting etc. Be aware this isn’t your average “bird” scooter. This is a power house of a machine and it’s quite intimidating the first time you get on it. Have Fun!"

The Wolf Warrior 11 and its bigger brothers GT Pro and King GT Pro are considered some of the world's best scooters available on the market today.
So what is Warrior X all about then? Well, the same quality package and that double stem but lighter and less bulky. And for some, if you are below 220 lbs (98 kg), this might be the best choice and the one that offers the biggest bang for your buck.
And it comes with a choice of two versions of battery. The standard "Street" model has a 60V 21Ah battery with a 40 mile (64 km) range and the "Pro" version with a 60V 28Ah with 52 miles (83 km) of range.
The Street is available with 10 inch air filled street or off road tires and the Pro comes with 10 inch air filled street tires.
The motor configuration is the same with dual 1100W/3500W peak power motors reaching 41/44 mph (65/70 kph) respectively.
It still weighs 79 lbs (36 kg) but that is 24 lbs (11 kg) lighter than its bigger sibling Warrior 11. It is also easier to fold and will fit into most car trunks.
Regen brake recharges the battery every time you brake and the front and rear fully hydraulic Zoom brakes are excellent.
It is very strong uphill and will not be left behind by many other scooters.
PROS
- Strong power to weight ratio
- Great stability & comfort
- Incredibly comfortable ride
CONS
- Not one you carry around
"Completely blown away by the quality of this machine. Feels very stable and safe even at high speeds. Customer service is fantastic, responds promptly and is very willing to help. Will only be buying my scooters Fluidfreeride from now on."

The NAMI Burn E2 is probably on manys wish lists, yet the asking price and its size might be food for thought. Too much too big.
But you need not worry as Nami has provided an excellent option to enjoy the top quality they so famously deliver.
The Klima is a fast and strong option with dual 1000W motors able to reach a top speed of 42 mph (68 kph). The torque and acceleration are best in class taking just under 5 seconds to reach 30 mph (48 kph) from a standstill. Reaching those performance figures you typically have to look at bigger and much more expensive scooters.
It is also not as heavy weighing in at 79 lbs (36 kg). Not exactly lightweight but possible to fold and lift into the trunk of your car.
Another attention to detail is the excellent thumb throttle. Set to perfection with the mapping of the 40A sine wave controllers you can accelerate without risking a whiplash injury. Keeping it steady at a lower speed is also easy.
Two battery versions are available. 25Ah/30Ah respectively with the bigger battery option named the MAX. The range is 50/60 miles (80/96 km) respectively.
Braking is equally important if you go at these speeds and the Klimas fully hydraulic dual Logan piston 160 mm rotor disc brakes together with regen braking are also best in class. It comes to a complete stop from 15 mph (24 kph) in only 9.4 feet (2.8m). This is better than many other more expensive scooters.
The ride quality is also top of the line with a fully adjustable dual coil shock suspension system and 10 inch pneumatic tires. Riding over gravel and rough terrain is very much on the menu. Ergonomically it is also comfortable even if you are a taller rider. It has a 42 inch (132 cm) tall stem which means you don't have to reach down for it.
A big smartphone sized IP65 rated display sits at the center of the cockpit. It is an updated improved version that has better visibility in direct sunlight. All the usual info needed is displayed. Mode and light settings, controller temperature, battery status, settings to adjust front and rear motor power, USB port, and so on.
Plenty of lights with a 2000 lumen front light, rear LED strip doubling as brake light, and turn signals. To make sure people will hear you coming it has a loud motorcycle style horn.
The max weight is 265 lbs (120 kg) and with an IP55 rating, the Klima is a top choice and one of the best scooters in its price range at the time of writing.
PROS
- Incredible ride quality
- Best in class acceleration
- Great lighting package
CONS
- No deck latch when folding
"I've been riding for a week now, and really can't get enough. It's such a fun and capable scooter--easy to maneuver, rock solid at speed, and takes big bumps like a champ. A word of advice is to make sure you customize the suspension to your specific needs, taking into consideration your weight, riding style and terrain. A few cycles of tweak-ride-tweak goes a long way. Had a small issue with the brake sensor (as a few others have) and the folks at Fluidfreeride were immediately helpful, sending me a replacement sensor once we determined that it was a sensor issue. Highly recommend the Klima and Fluidfreeride.."

Calming things down yet another step from the hyper scooter league, you will have options in the 30-40 mph (48-64 kph) segment. Still fast enough in our opinion to warrant a full face helmet as well as other safety equipment. These are still very powerful electric scooters equipped with dual motors capable of incredible acceleration and top speeds.

A definite favorite amongst scooter enthusiasts. The Mantis fluid Edition seems to tick a lot of boxes, which is something the competition has not yet refined to the same effect it would seem.
Looking at performance, speed, ride quality, and the asking price, it is a very good package. It comes with two battery options.
Difference is the battery capacity, 60V 18,2Ah/60V 24,5Ah respectively, which affects mile range but not the 40 mph (64 kph) top speed when using the turbo button. And that makes this a seriously fast electric scooter.
The Mantis fluid Edition is equipped with dual fully hydraulic disc brakes for maximum stopping power.
The Mantis V2 is powered by dual 1000W/3000W peak power engine and you can choose to use either single or dual mode, depending on if you want to go at max speed or prefer a little longer range. 30+/45+ miles (48+/ 72+ km) range for the 18.2/24.5 version in eco mode, is a very good distance and it will still do 30 mph (48 kph)!
It has a very good front and rear spring arm suspension and combined with air filled 10 inch tires provides a very smooth ride and will allow for cruising on dirt or gravel trails in the forest, as well as the odd jump over curbs or other obstacles, even if it's not an outright off road toy.
Solidly put together, with high quality, easy to use and ride makes the Mantis one of the best electric scooters for commuters as well as fun seeking weekend adventurers.
PROS
- Multiple gear modes
- Very long range
- Ride on any terrain
CONS
- Handlebars does not fold
"mantis Scooter
This is a machine. If you get one of these make sure you get yourself protected. Riding one of these without a helmet or elbow and knee pads is like riding a Harley wearing flip flops. This is not only for the young adult. I am 69 years old and in good shape. I am using muscles I have not used so I get a little sore after a 10 mile run.
Well built. Fast. Hold on when you hit the turbo button.
When you are stuck in the house and the only option to move around is a car or walking, nice to jump on the scooter and let it take you where ever you want. Couple of things you have to do yourself. Get a mirror. Not knowing what is behind you is uncomfortable. Ear plugs, for the wind noise. Clear glasses for night time. All in all a great purchase."
INOKIM OXO - 40 mph
A Performance Fan Favorite among fast scooters

If you're thinking "this one looks familiar" you're spot on. A case of déjà vu even. The INOKIM OXO shares remarkable similarities with the OX. Well, it is in fact, the big brother version of the two.
If you are familiar with the OX but are looking for something more in the speed and power department, then the OXO is your answer.
The OXO has double brushless 1000W motors and reaches a whopping top speed of 40 mph (64 kph). Just like its baby brother, the OXO is foldable, which is great for taking it on the train as part of the daily commuting routine.
Acceleration is very smooth, to say the least. Press the thumb throttle down and expect to yank away you will be surprised as it instead builds gradually up to speed. It will still do zero to 15 mph (24 kph) in just under 4 seconds.
The 60V 26Ah battery has a range of 52 miles (83 km) and it is a very able hillclimber. It has the same adjustable polymer front and rear suspension system as the Ox and is an excellent fast all-terrain scooter with 10-inch air-filled tires and that double-sided swingarm that makes tire changes that much easier.
Dual hydraulic ZOOM disc brakes are some of the best on the market and the brake feel is brilliant. Superb build and ride quality it weighs 77 lbs (35 kg) and has a max weight capacity of 265 lbs (120 kg).
PROS
- Superior build & ride quality
- Peak power performance
- Advanced display

"Very nicely designed and the ride is smooth and powerful. Handles great on and off road. Service from Fluidfreeride has been great too, shipping and response to my requests have been extremely fast. I'm now a loyal customer. Added a trailer hitch and it pulls the trailer effortlessly. Also mounted a GoPro, rear view mirror, and taillight with turn signal. Set it up to go 40 mph but it gets a little scary over 30, the red button (front motor switch) is like an afterburner. Completely worth the expense to have that front motor"

The Phantom is the result of feedback from thousands of users to create the best possible scooter in its price range. And Apollo scooters has done a marvellous job with all that info being put to use building a superb package with a great ride and build quality.
A top speed of 38 mph (61 kph) is impressive and it is fast from a standstill although not in a way that will snap your neck. Zero to 15 mph (24 kph) takes just under three seconds.
Dual 1200W/3200W peak power motors with 52V 23,4Ah battery are good for 40 miles (64 km) of range and tackling hills is not a problem.
The ride is one of the best you will experience on an e-scooter as everything gels so well together. The handlebar ergonomics, the excellent thumb throttle, a big deck with plenty of grip, and an adjustable quadruple spring suspension system with great shock absorption.
The Phantom will happily travel over dirt trails, grass, jump over curbs and soak up imperfections in the road. It also offers three configurations of braking systems. Standard mechanical brakes, or either ZOOM or NUTT fully hydraulic.
Big 160 mm rotors make sure that in either choice the stopping power is excellent. Stopping distances are basically the same between hydraulic and mechanical but the feel is different. The option is there to accommodate for personal preference of brake feel.
10-inch pneumatic tires and a max weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 kg) means bigger riders will have no problem enjoying the Phantom.
PROS
- Cool & unique design
- Excellent lighting package
- Advanced display
CONS
- No front turn signals
Apollo phantom is a swiss army knife!
"I came in to the shop looking for a ghost, then I was enticed by the wolf warrior x, but ultimately I decided on the phantom with no regrets so far.(about a month) I have fluid and Apollo as neighbors being a New Yorker! All there's is to do now is wait for V3... P.S. Chuck from Bk location is a Godsend!"

Single motor on a fastest list is probably not what you expect to find but the fluid Vista manages just that.
This is a rear wheel driven 1000W/1800W peak power motor with a top speed of 31 mph (50 kph), strong acceleration, and even strong uphill. 10% inclines are easily dealt with.
Intended as a low priced, low maintenance everyday commuter that is easy and fun to ride the Vistas 60V 14.5Ah battery will be good for 45 miles (72 km) of range in eco mode.
Keeping it practical, the choice of solid tires means you never run a risk of flats but many times compromise the ride quality. But these tires are less rigid than other similar ones usually are. Combine this with the front and rear adjustable spring suspension with adjustable rebound dampening and you have a magnificent solution to make those solid tires work wonders.
The ergonomics are also attended to with a very wide deck measuring 17,5 x 9,0 inches (44,5 x 23 cm) and a 39 inch (100 cm) tall stem with wide handlebars perfect for taller riders.
The brakes are also set up for everyday convenience rather than massive bite. They are very effective yet smoother than some others we have tried. The front drum brake, rear disc brake, and regen brake are well dialed in right out of the box.
A very nice cockpit is another welcome feature with a big center display showing all the needed info such as various ride modes, an included App that lets you customize your riding profile, zero start options, acceleration settings, etc. The throttle is thumb operated.
Such a scooter needs good lights and the Vista does not disappoint. A bright forward light, turn signals, brake light, and lateral swag lights.
The weight is 60 lbs (27 kg). Possible to carry even if not for long distances. The stem and handlebars fold which helps with storage.
This is a fun and comfortable e scooter with good performance. As such it is not an expensive scooter either. very practical it is one of the best choices for en everyday commuter out there now.
PROS
- Never worry about flats
- Low maintence
- Large deck for comfortable riding
CONS
- Somewhat heavy, but still portable
"The scooter is absolutely phenomenal. It's acceleration is perfect for intermediate riders in sport mode, and I can say that the suspension allows the solid tires to be a benefit instead of a drawback. The suspension really takes care of most imperfections on whatever you're scooting on. The only con I have is that the app clearly needs a redo. The display, however, takes care of everything that I need on a daily basis so I don't have to deal with the app much."

Love My new Apollo Explore
I recently received my new Apollo Explore in a timely fashion and love it! The folks at Fluid Freeride have been fabulous. It was easy to assemble, and I was on the road in no time. Great product, and wonderful sales and support team. They were very responsive right away when I had a few questions to text them. I highly recommend the product and the vendor!
20-30 MPH Electric Scooters
At the "lower" end of the scale, we arrive at 20-30 mph scooters.
Considering most rental & share options such as lime electric scooters for example, will have a top speed of 15 mph (24 kph), 20 mph and above is still sufficient enough (or should be) for an inner city daily commuter. After all, most of the time in an urban busy environment, one will not be able to go full tilt for many seconds before having to lift off.
WideWheel Pro - 26 mph
A fast, compact and unique electric scooter
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |
---|---|---|
Motor: 2x500w motors | Tires: 8" x 3.9" never-flat foam filled | Dimensions: 43.1 x 21.6 x 43.3 inches |
Battery: Lithium-ion 48V 15Ah | Suspension: Front and Rear springs | Folded Dim: 43.1 x 8.6 x 16.1 inches |
Range: 22 Miles | Brakes: Front & Rear Discs | Weight: 54 lbs |

One of the coolest looking and most fun e scooters on the market is the WideWheel. Now upgraded and even better in the Pro version. Max speed is now raised to 26 mph (41,8 kph) and acceleration to match with dual 500W motors.
The range is 30 miles (48 km) with conservative riding, and the battery pack is 48V 15Ah.
The Widewheel is a power package best suited for paved roads and smooth surfaces. The name says it all. The wheels are very wide and although they are solid, they are filled with foam and will flex when you press your thumb into them. This makes it feel a tiny bit like pneumatic tires, although you wouldn't go off road on this one.
The wide tires make this scooter very stable when riding in a straight line. When cornering, it takes some practice to get it right though, as it does not turn in the same way a narrower tire scooter would. Pros and cons of a Widewheel.
This is a fast electric scooter and it has a sporty feeling to it, which is also noticeable from the dual disc brakes and dual front and rear springs which makes shock absorption, if not too big potholes, one less item to worry about. In the fastest speed setting, it will give a range of 19 miles (30 km).
Upgrades from the previous version include a reinforced fork and neck as well as a thicker stem, which is a good thing too as stem wobble is not something you want on a fast electric scooter. The WideWheel was always cool and fun, and even more so now.
With a 54 lbs (25 kg) weight, it is possible to lift without breaking too much sweat. 220 lbs (98 kg) weight capacity.
If you have that craving for speed and want to look the part while enjoying it as well. This is the one.
PROS
- Unique Cruising Style Riding
- Can Tackle Any Hills
- Great Speed & Range
CONS
- Folding Process Takes Somewhat Longer
"WW Pro
Really funny to drive. Good acceleration. Hit top speed even when driving steep uphill. Top speed on mine is 40 and downhill 45. But 40 feels enough because it accelerates quick to its top speed. Stiff suspension but I prefer stiff suspension so no problem for me rather more a positive thing. Brakes bites well. The accelerator button is little too sensitive so it is difficult to cruise around. Either full steam or nothing. It needs a much better accelerator button with more feel, now its maximum throttle when touching the button the slightest. Makes it difficult to drive when around people and crowded places. The springs from the suspension sounds a lot so don't buy this if you enjoy a silent drive."

If the Wolf King Gt pro is the king of the beast scooters then the fluid Mosquito is the king of the pocket rockets. Combining ultraportable features with great power and only weighing 29 lbs (13 kg) you would never think this small kick scooter could have a 25+ mph (40+ kph) top speed.
Mainly designed for shorter rides the 48V 9,6Ah battery has a realistic range of 20+ miles (32 km) if not using full throttle all the time.
A single front wheel 500W/700W peak power motor is even strong uphill and will beat other similar scooters as well in acceleration. Zero to 15 mph (24 kph) takes around 5 seconds.
It even has a dual suspension system which is needed since the tires are solid. Braking is very good which is a must considering the top speed and having three options feels confident. Rear drum and rear step on brake, as well as adjustable regen braking via the throttle, also recharges the battery when used.
This is a perfect scooter for either beginners or commuters looking for durability, maximum portability, and good performance.
PROS
- Ultra lightweight & portable
- Excellent suspension for lightweight scooter
- Very high top speed for it's size
CONS
- Brake distance can be long if going top speed
Tiny Beast!
"Bought this for my daughter at college, but wanted to put some miles on it to make sure everything was ok. I have another brand scooter and this outclassed it in almost every way. Lighter, easier operation, more torque and top speed. The smaller solid wheels don’t feel as “bike-like” as larger inflated wheels, but the suspension on this made sidewalk paths tolerable that were too jarring with fixed wheels. Once you get used to both brakes, stopping power is amazing. There’s a lot going on here in a small package that can be easily carried up a few flights of stairs."
fluid Horizon - 25 mph
A practical allround fast & long range electric scooter
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |

Let's take a look at the fluid Horizon. If you need a max speed of 25 mph (40 kph) and don't feel like a daredevil, but still looking for a reasonable riding experience at a reasonable price, then this is an option.
It comes with a choice of two different battery outputs for longer range options, and we would recommend the bigger 48V 13Ah battery. The smaller one is 48V 10,4Ah. The top speed is the same, but if you will go full tilt a lot of the time, you will want the bigger battery.
This scooter is actually one of the few e-scooters that delivers on the promised 25-mile range, (40 km) as tested under real-world circumstances. It looks and feels solid, and is built well enough to handle its max speed, which is important. It will not win any drag races though, as it is quite slow up to 8 mph (12,8 kph). So if you are all into that, then maybe this one is a bit too modest getting away from the red light.
It comes with an option of a three-mode speed setting to reign in the speed demon in you if needed.The braking system is a combination of a rear drum and regen brake that works fine and is a smooth and well-balanced option. Frankly, anything less than this on a high-speed electric scooter is a reason to opt out if you want to be able to stop properly.
Tires are important, especially at these speeds. Air-filled tires are to be preferred as the benefits outweigh the drawbacks of getting a flat. Here we have a combo of both as the front is air-filled whereas the rear tire is solid. That is one of the Horizons cons if you will, as you can feel the back end step out and skid off the centerline under braking, as well as stepping out when cornering if you are not careful. So be aware! But you will never have a rear flat and that is enough for some buyers.
A clever choice of a dual hydraulic suspension at the rear compensates for that solid tire and gives a very smooth ride on most surfaces. It weighs 42 lbs (19kg) and has a 265 lbs (120 kg) weight limit.
PROS
- Long Range
- Strong Power to weight ratio
- Very Practical & Foldable
CONS
- Board deck can be a bit limited for some people.
Better than expected
"I did alot of research and bought several different brands and returned all of them except fluid freeride, these scooters out performed my expectations. Faster and more stable than the others. So I bought two more, we now have 4 of these from fluid freeride!! Love the suspension also!! You you guys did good on these!!"
INOKIM Light 2 - 21 mph
A practical, fast and stylish electric scooter
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |
---|---|---|
Motor: 350W base / 650W peak | Tires: 8.5" x 2" air tires | Dimensions: 42.5 x 41.3 x 18.1 inches |
Battery: LG Li-ion 36V 10.4Ah | Suspension: pneumatic tires | Folded Dim: 37.4 x 14.2 x 9.8 inches |
Range: realistic 15-20 miles | Brakes: Front & rear drum brake | Weight: 30 lbs |
Top Speed: 21 Mph | Lights: front and rear LED | Drive: Rear Wheel |
Weight Limit: 220 lbs / 100 kg | Display: Adv. thumb throttle display | Battery Position: Under Board |
The INOKIM Light 2 just clears our speed requirement for this top list at 21 mph (34 kph). If you are looking for the most portable and fastest scooter available, and the Mosquito is not for you, then maybe this one is.
It offers great portability and yet a respectable maximum speed. INOKIM are known for their unique design and great-looking scooters, and the Light 2 even comes in a range of different colours.
It's powered by a single rear wheel 350W/650W peak power motor that will deliver on the promised speed. However, keep in mind due to the smaller motor, if you're going uphill you'll likely drop a few mph in speed.
The board has a very low centre of gravity helping it keep very stable at speed and although it lacks suspension, two 8-inch air-filled tires help smooth out the ride. Dual drum brakes are a surprise on such a portable scooter but they are there, they are brilliant and probably the best you will find on such a scooter.
The potential lack of power is definitely an acceptable compromise as this really is a portable scooter, only weighing 30 lbs (13,6 kg).
To put it in perspective, other scooters in the same weight class would be the popular Xiaomi M365 and Segway Ninebot series, which both offer speeds around the 16 mph (25 kph) mark and are around 50 Watts weaker in their power output.
PROS
- Custom design throttle
- Comfortable and secure ride
- Beautiful design & color options
CONS
- Limited power & torque
"Really cool scooter
Have been riding my black Inokim light for over a week to work. About 4-5 miles each way. It has nice acceleration and it feels faster than I had expected. I am 6 feet and 180 pounds. I recharge every night but after around 10 miles I still have battery left.
Upgraded from my ninebot es2 and it feels so different. The ride is smooth and quiet, it folds down more compact and it looks so much cooler. I take it into the restaurant where I work and my coworkers are all jealous lol. Well worth the price!"
Summary
As you can see, there are some crazy fast electric scooters out there and we are sure to see more and more released shortly.
One thing is for sure, if you have your mind set on a fast electric scooter, remember to choose wisely and ask yourself, what are you going to use it for? Are you going to be commuting, riding around town for fun on the weekends, going off-roading, or for longer rides in the countryside?
But above all, stay safe and drive responsibly!
