Best long range electric scooters (over 60 mi / 100 km models for every budget and scenario)

For many people (myself included), the range of the electric scooter is its most important feature. If you’re frequently relying on your scooter for long commutes or other lengthy trips, you are going to want a scooter with the longest range possible.

Electric scooters have come a long way since their early days, when they barely had any range at all. Today, we have models that can go 100+ kilometers on a single charge! It is a great time to be a scooter owner, no doubt.

These are the best long range electric scooters.

Best long range electric scooters

There are a lot of electric scooters that have great range, a few even have more than 60 miles / 100 kilometers. As you may notice, the higher-end manufacturers each have a few models around the top of the list. We can call these scooters “super long range”, as their range is simply out of this world. Their price will usually reflect that, and they will tend to be pretty expensive. If you are on a more limited budget, you can still find amazing long range scooters that are easier on the wallet in the next section.

Now, let the games begin. We will go over the best long range scooters with ranges of 60 miles / 100 kilometers or more, and what the specialty is for each of them.

Electric scooter with the longest range – Dualtron X2

The absolute, undisputed, heavy-weight champion of the world when it comes to range is the Dualtron X2, with a range of 93 miles / 150 kilometers. They claim it can even go further under ideal conditions.

It’s no surprise that Dualtron holds the top of the list. Many people consider them to be the best manufacturer of electric scooters ever.

User reports almost confirm this range in real-world scenarios. Adam from WrongWay managed to reach 71 miles / 114 kilometers across two days, many different roads, terrains, and weather conditions. Given how typically manufacturers advertise almost double the actual range you will get, this is pretty good.

True to the Dualtron tradition, it still is an extremely fast scooter, being able to go up to 65 mph / 105 km/h. Its dual brushless hub motor, with power of 8300 Watts, is probably the most powerful motor in the game today, and the main reason why scooter lovers decide to pay a premium price.

The large-capacity battery is one of the most powerful electric scooter batteries currently in existence.

Priced at $6490, it is the most expensive scooter on this list, and one of the most expensive scooters ever. This is not a scooter for a regular person. You have to really like electric scooters to even consider spending so much money on such a beast. It is a scooter for the most passionate, elite levels of users out there. But it seems that nobody that has bought it has regretted the decision.

Coming equipped for long-distance rides, it has 16 cm dual disc hydraulic brakes, off-road tires out of the box, and dual shock absorbers. If you are curious about this insane scooter, see my detailed Dualtron X2 review.

As expected from Dualtron, we see a lot of their other almost legendary models near the top of this list, like the Dualtron Thunder, Dualtron Ultra, and Dualtron 2 & 3. Maybe those people that believe Dualtron is the best scooter company are not far from the truth.

Best value & best waterproof long range electric scooter – EMove Cruiser

The EMove Cruiser is my favorite electric scooter. This is not a statement I make lightly, and I’ve only dared to say this after years in the scooter world, but today, this is the best value, best general purpose electric scooter in the world.

A vastly underrated scooter in my opinion. Priced at only $1499, it is the cheapest scooter on this list that can reach a range of 62 mi / 100 km on a single charge! If you need the cheapest super-long range scooter for as little money as possible, this may be your choice.

Even though the 62 mi / 100 km of range is an ideal scenario, users report that it’s not that far from the truth. One user says that after riding for 31 mi / 50 km in regular traffic, the scooter had about 40% of its battery remaining.

We can extrapolate that the maximum range would be close to 50 mi / 80 kilometers. And keep in mind – the owner is a 225 lbs / 100 kg guy!

Another report puts the maximum range per single charge at 58 miles / 93 kilometers!

Wow! Just.. wow!

The EMove Cruiser is famous for its unrivaled IP rating. With an IP rating of IP67, it is the only scooter in the world right now that is truly waterproof. Most scooters either have no IP rating, or have IP54 or IPX4, which makes them merely water-resistant.

Aside from that, this scooter is of tremendous value in general. I’m kinda amazed that it doesn’t cost $2500 or more.

Owners can’t say enough good things about this scooter. It is one of the most popular mid-price scooters of today, and it is only entrenching itself in that position more and more with every new stellar owner review.

If you’re after the best waterproof long range scooter, or you simply want a great value long-range scooter, the EMove Cruiser is definitely your choice (check the full review here if you want to find out more).

Best long range scooter under $3000 – Dualtron 3

If you are spending three thousand dollars on a long range scooter, you better be sure you are getting a reliable, high-quality, well-made scooter.

The best choice here would be Dualtron 3. You will get a truly premium electric scooter for $2960, with a maximum potential range of 75 mi / 120 km.

You simply can’t go wrong with a Dualtron. They are considered the best manufacturers by many enthusiasts. Dualtron 3 is one of their flagship products.

Best long range scooter under $2000 – Apollo Pro 52V

If you want a high-quality long-range scooter and your budget is around $2000, you can safely go for the Apollo Pro 52V and be 100% sure you are getting an amazing scooter.

Apollo are one of the hottest electric scooter brands right now. All of their models are excellent choices, and the Apollo Pro is their best scooter.

There are several versions of the Apollo Pro available, depending on the battery size, brake types, and other important features.

The craziest version, the Apollo Pro Ludicrous, is an insanely overpowered scooter capable of developing speeds of 44 mph / 71 kmh, but it does so at the expense of range.

The Apollo Pro 52V version, on the other hand, tips the scales more in favor of range, and with a range of 56 mi / 90 km, is the longest range scooter from the Apollo line. It is still very powerful, able to reach speeds of 37 mph / 60 kmh, climb steep hills, and carry up to 330 lbs / 150 kg of weight.

Since I’m always looking for great value, I find Apollo scooters to be very attractive in terms of value for the price. A scooter like the Apollo Pro 52V could easily cost well above $2500, but that’s not nearly the case, and you can get this great pick for just $1799. In my opinion, there’s no better long-range scooter for under $2000 than the Apollo Pro 52V.

Best long range scooter under $1000 – Ninebot Max

So you have $1000 and you need the best possible long range electric scooter you can get. What do you go for?

You can’t go wrong with the Ninebot Max. For about $799 you will get a scooter trusted by millions, and you will get $200 change.

You won’t be breaking any speed records with a maximum speed of 18 mph / 30 km/h out of the box.

But you will get a great range of 40 mi / 64 km. For that kind of money, it is a brilliant range.

Probably the most important thing about the Ninebot Max is that it has learned a lot of lessons from the Xiaomi and Ninebot models, and applied them successfully in an impeccable design, unseen quality for the price, and great performance overall.

A rarely seen waterproof rating of IPX5 will protect your scooter on rainy days, and the 10-inch tires will give you very comfortable rides without safety, as they will rarely go flat because of their self-healing feature.

I think the biggest ace in the sleeve that the Ninobot Max has is the praise and love it has received from its owners so far. With an impossible 4.6-star rating out of 5 on Amazon, out of almost 3.000 reviews, this is one of the most beloved scooters ever. You can see the full Ninebot Max review if you wish to find out more about this excellent model.

Best long range scooter under $700 – Kugoo M4 Pro

As we slim down the budget, the range you can get is not that big anymore.

I would choose the Kugoo M4 Pro here, usually priced around $675.

We are no longer in beast territory anymore, so no more ranges above 50 miles / 80 kilometers. But you will get a range of 37 miles / 60 kilometers, which is still very impressive, especially considering the budget. You can see the full review of the Kugoo M4 Pro if you want to find out more.

Best long range scooter under $500 – Xiaomi M365 Pro

Well, you could get a lot of great scooters with a good range for under $500. The Ninebot ES 3 with 28 mi / 45 km of range, or any of the Kugoo Pro/M2 Pro/S1 models or the Macwheel MX1 will still get you 18 mi / 30 km of range.

But it’s hard to make a case against the Xiaomi M365 Pro here.

You will have to dish out an extra $50, but it will be very well worth it. Otherwise, you can almost always get a refurbished, good-as-new scooter for well under $500.

You will get what is likely the most popular, most tested electric scooter as of now, and you will still have a very good range of 28 mi / 45 km. Sometimes it’s just smart to go with the public, and the Xiaomi M365 Pro is one instance of that. All of these millions of scooterists around the world (myself included) that have chosen the Xiaomi M365 can’t be all wrong.

The most successful scooter ever will not only provide you with decent range on a single charge, but also there are tons and tons of battery customizations and firmware upgrades that can easily increase the range even more.

Besides range, you will get a ton of other goodness from it – a 600 Watt brushless low-speed current Hall electric motor that can accelerate and climb really well, an IP54 protection against water damage, regenerative anti-lock brakes on the front along with 120mm ventilated disc brakes on the rear, all of that in a portable scooter weighing just 31 lbs / 14 kg.

In summary, this scooter is the most popular scooter out there for a very good reason. It will not get you as much range as the other range monsters described here, but for around $500, you will get an unbeatable value, and a very solid range that will fill the needs of 99% of commuters out there.

Best long range scooter under $300 – Swagtron Swagger Pro

Near the top of this article, we defined long range scooters as ones that can achieve distances of 25 miles / 40 kilometers or more on a single charge.

Well, sadly, no long-range scooter costs below $300.

However, you can still get a good scooter for that price that will not disappoint you in terms of range. It will not be “long range” by our definition from above, but it will take you 18 miles / 29 kilometers on one charge.

That is the Swagtron Swagger Pro.

For around $300, you will also get a 15.5 mph / 25 km/h top speed, and several other neat features like an IPX4 water protection standard, regenerative brakes, and a very portable carbon-fiber model weighing just 16 lbs / 7.25 kg. Great bang for buck if you ask me.

Best long range electric scooter with a seat – Dualtron Ultra

Personally, I’m not exactly sure why most scooters don’t come with the option for a seat. It’s such a useful, mature accessory, and if you think it deducts you a few cool points, you can easily remove it.

The best super-long range scooter that can support an optional seat is the Dualtron Ultra. We all know by now how awesome Dualtron is, and since this is one of their best-selling models, we know it will be awesome too.

With a range of 75 mi / 120 km, the Dualtron Ultra is well within the super-long range category. Awesome top speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h, an incredible dual 5700 Watt motor, climb angle of 35 degrees, and a water protection standard of IP54, make the Dualtron Ultra another brilliant offer by Dualtron.

And, of course, you can add or remove the optional seat, which makes it the best long range scooter with a seat.

Best offroad long range electric scooter – Kaabo Wolf Warrior

Wolf Warrior… it just sounds so cool. I never get tired of saying it.

A testament to the brand’s greatness is how many of its models are on the list of long range scooters above. Kaabo is a brand that knows how to produce great scooters.

The Kaabo Wolf Warrior is one of the most powerful scooters available today. Its 2100 Watt-hour battery, combined with its real 2400 Watts power of the motor, makes it one of the most performant scooters ever made.

Besides the very cool model name, the Kaabo Wolf Warrior also boasts amazing range capabilities. Interestingly, there are a few numbers being thrown around. The most frequent one says that in a lab scenario, it can go for 70 miles / 112 kilometers on a single charge.

There were several range tests reported online, and they averaged about 68 kilometers. Not only is that excellent, but it is also one of the highest real-world ranges reported, which means that even though the official range claimed by the company is not that big, users keep getting great range out of the Kaabo Wolf Warrior.

Where this scooter shines is its offroad abilities. It may as well be the original pioneer in offroad models, and it has been one of the best offroad scooters for years already, probably the single best in fact.

So if range and offroad rides are your biggest concern (and you want it confirmed that you will get a great range, not just claims from the manufacturers), then the Kaabo Wolf Warrior will be a great option. Take a look at my comprehensive review of the Kaabo Wolf Warrior if you wish to find out more.

Best high-end long range electric scooter – Inokim OXO

Inokim has put out a model that punches above its weight with the Inokim OXO. The Inokim OXO is a very solid option for a high-quality scooter costing up to $2500 and still being able to cover great distances.

Its advertised maximum range is 68 miles / 110 kilometers in ideal conditions.

In one of the rare footages showing the full range test, we can see the Inokim OXO handling literally everything the owner can throw at him and achieving a range of 24 miles / 39 kilometers. The owner goes offroad quite a lot, really testing the scooter. He notes that this range would easily be much higher in urban driving conditions, stating that 30 mi / 48 km would not be a problem at all.

While it’s real speed limit is around 40 mph / 65 km/h, it often comes locked in at 15 mph / 25 km/h. If you want to ride it at its full speed potential, you will have to unlock it.

As we can see, Inokim also has many other models that are real range beasts. I am keeping an eye on Inokim, I do believe that they will continue producing excellent scooters in the future.

The distinguishing quality of most Inokim scooters is how well they are put together, their overall build quality, their attention to detail, and their finishing touches. If you want a well-priced, high-range, high-quality electric scooter that can take everything the world has to throw at it without a hiccup, go for the Inokim OXO.

Check the full review of the Inokim OXO to find out more about this amazing scooter.

Best climbing long range electric scooter – Apollo Pro Ludicrous

The Apollo Pro Ludicrous sits at the crossroads of long-range scooters and great climbing scooters.

The famous Apollo Pro line has several versions, mostly differing in voltage, and the Ludicrous version is clearly the most powerful one.

With dual motors for a combined peak power of 3200 W and amazing traction, the Apollo Pro Ludicrous can climb hills up to 40 degrees. At the same time, the 1260 Wh Samsung battery gives it a range of 56 mi / 90 km.

That makes the Apollo Pro Ludicrous the best long-range electric scooter that shines at going uphill as well.

Besides range and climbing power, you get a speed of 44 mph / 71 kmh, an IP54 water protection standard, large 10-inch pneumatic tires for comfortable rides, dual regenerative hydraulic brakes, and dual spring suspension.

This scooter is the complete package indeed. For the price of $3299, you get a remarkable piece of machinery, one of the best products ever put out on the market.

Consider the Apollo Pro Ludicrous if you want very long rides in places with lots of ups and downs.

Best long range electric scooter for heavy adults – Qiewa Q1 Hummer

And another greatly underestimated long range scooter.

Priced around $1400, it is literally the cheapest scooter in the world that can go around 62 mi / 100 km on a single charge.

That is just impressive.

You get an 800 Watt motor and a 1248 Watt-hour battery, and for that price, it’s a real bargain.

I expect to see Qiewa scooters become a lot more popular than they are today. I’m personally considering getting one of these if I don’t get enough money for the more expensive scooters on this list.

What separates the Qiewa Q1 Hummer from the other range monsters is its carry load. With a weight limit of 550 lbs / 250 kg, it is the best long range electric scooter for heavy adults, and it’s not even close.

If you are interested in the Qiewa Q1 Hummer, you can check it out on Amazon.

Fastest long-range electric scooter – Dualped Scorpion / Scorpion +

Dualped is currently one of the most interesting manufacturers of electric scooters. What I love about them is that they go for it all, no holding back, no brakes, no keeping one hand on the eject button (that’s a Topgun analogy).

The Dualped Scorption+ is currently the fastest scooter you can buy that has a proven top speed. There are faster scooters in the world, but they all include further speed enhancements after unboxing, or they don’t really offer proof for their claimed top speeds. The Dualped Scorpion+ is the fastest scooter out of the box, and there are several videos of it reaching insane speeds without any modifications.

With both the Scorpion and the Scorption+ models, besides the fastest scooters in the world, you get the ones with the third-longest range. They can both go up to 75 miles / 120 kilometers on a single charge in test environments.

Their proprietary motors develop power levels up to 5000 Watts for the Dualped Scorpion and 6000 Watts for the Dualped Scorpion +, and 1800 and 23100 Watt-hours in their batteries respectively.

With a less than 1% defect ratio, the Dualpeds are truly remarkable scooters.

Best designed long range electric scooter – WePed GT 50E

Outside of South Korea and California, few people have heard of the WePed electric scooters. That’s a real shame, since they are one of the best-engineered, most beautifully-designed scooters currently on the market.

The WePed GT is their best scooter so far. Like many high-end scooters, they are not mass-produced, and are hand-crafted individually for each order. That means customizations are entirely possible and negotiable with the company.

The theoretical range you get with the WePed GT E50 is 65 mi / 104 km. You get a maximum speed of up to an impressive 45 mph / 72 km/h.

Where this scooter shines is its looks. With a daring, unconventional curved stem, it will certainly attract more eyeballs than your typical Xiaomi.

Its ability to climb hills is also amazing – it can take on angles of up to 50 degrees, making it one of the best climbers out there.

In their own words, the WePed GT 50E is the perfect balance between power and long range. With brushless DC dual hub motors being able to develop power of up to 3600 Watts, and a battery with an energy storage capacity of 1800 Watt-hours, that is the case indeed.

Most portable, best long range electric scooter for commuting – Joyor Y10

Joyor scooters are not that famous (yet), but the Spanish company is slowly building up its brand as a serious challenger to the established names in the medium and medium-high price ranges.

With a price of around $1500, the Joyor Y10 is one of the cheapest scooters that can reach ranges of up to 62 mi / 100 km.

It has a 500 Watt motor, which may not sound like a lot for great range, but a 1248 Watt-hour-battery coupled with a speed limit of 22 mph / 35 kmh lets us know that it is a scooter optimized for range.

The best thing about the Joyor Y10 is that it manages to package all of that in a scooter weighing only 50 lbs / 23 kg. That makes it the clear winner when it comes to portability and small weight in the super-long range scooters. 50 lbs / 23 kg may not be exactly portable, but when you consider that many of these long range models weigh more than 90 lbs / 40 kg, it suddenly starts to seem as light as a feather.

It will definitely be the only scooter you ever have a chance of getting into the trunk of your car, or in public transport. Not that you will need to.

Best fat-tire long range electric scooter – Stator

Surprisingly, even though fat-tire scooters seem closer to motorcycles than to electric scooters, they don’t really provide that much range.

Except for the Stator.

Besides being one of the most well-designed, futuristic-looking scooters ever, this scooter has a range of 80 miles / 128 km, which makes it the third longest-range electric scooter in the world.

This beautiful masterpiece can only be preordered right now, and not a lot is known about it. The expectations are sure great. All I could find out is that it has a top speed of about 30 mph / 48 km/h, a 1000 Watt motor, and it weighs 90 lbs / 41 kg.

It sure looks amazing, too. There is something about simplicity that makes things beautiful, and this scooter reflects that.

Best long range electric scooter in Europe – Techlife X9

Most of us in Europe will have a hard time getting a Dualtron or a Zero to ship here. It will either be impossible, or cost hundreds of dollars more, and a lot can go wrong along the way.

That’s where Techlife comes in. The Polish store is probably the only brand that offers true monster scooters for the European market. The Techlife X9 is their flagship scooter, and definitely has the longest range.

When it comes to the ideal scenario maximum range, we can see that the third place is shared by a few contenders. The Techlife is a great balance between very, very high speeds and amazing range, able to cover distances of 120 kilometers on a single charge.

In a real-world range test, in an urban scenario, with traffic, curves, and ups and downs, Adam from WrongWay says he got a maximum range of around 60 km, but that he can see how 80 kilometers can be achieved too. Very impressive.

The real power of the dual motors is 3200 Watts, and peak power can go up to 7000 Watts, making it maybe the most powerful motor in the world today. Its battery comes at a 2300 Watt-hour capacity, also making it one of the strongest batteries in a scooter today.

Where the Techlife X9 stands out is its waterproofing capabilities. With an IP rating of IP35, it is currently the long range electric scooter with the best protection against water. All the other super-long range scooters either have no IP rating at all, or an IPX4 rating.

I absolutely love what Techlife is doing with their scooters. Even though they are practically the same as the Zero scooters, they obviously do some modifications to better equip them for the European market. Each model they release is better than their previous one, and you can see most of their models in the long range table. If you decide to go for a Techlife scooter, or the Techlife X9 in particular, you really can’t go wrong. If you are interested, you can check out the full review of the Techlife X9.

What is the best value-for-money long range scooter?

That would have to be the EMove Cruiser. Priced at just around $1499, it is the only scooter that can truly reach ranges of 62 miles / 100 kilometers, and not cost you an arm and a leg. You will get a great performing, amazing long range scooter for a very fair price.

Check the full review of the EMove Cruiser to learn exactly why this is the case.

What is considered long range in an electric scooter?

For an electric scooter to be considered long range, it should have at least 25 miles / 40 kilometers. That is already a non-trivial distance for a vehicle that operates on lithium-ion batteries, and can have a lot of real-world applications.

I can’t even remember the number of times I’ve heard of an electric scooter described as long range, only to see in the specs that it has a range of 15 miles / 25 kilometers. We can’t really consider that long range, as that’s pretty close to the average range of electric scooters, as the research below will show. It only makes sense that a long-range scooter should have a range that’s significantly longer than the average range, right?

Also, there’s always the issue of official vs user-reported range. Very often, the official range is the one that is obtained in ideal lab conditions, and should not be taken at face value (more on that below).

The 25 miles / 40 kilometers is a good cutting point, and it will label around 60% of scooters as not long-range. 25 miles / 40 kilometers will likely translate into 15-20 miles / 25-32 kilometers of range in real-world usage, which is a pretty big, useful number.

Electric scooter range vs battery life

Often times, people say battery life of the scooter, but they actually mean “range”. They even use kilometers or miles to measure it. Both of those terms usually refer to the same thing.

Sometimes, battery life is also measured in time as well, and refers to the time a single battery charge lasts. For me, that makes much more sense. When you talk about how long the “life” of something is, time is the most logical measurement. Still, measuring battery life in time is not very useful, since the amount of time a battery charge lasts can vary wildly.

To avoid confusion, I will keep using the term “range” throughout this post, and the blog in general.

We defined long range electric scooters as having at least 25 miles / 40 kilometers of range on a single charge, as reported by the brand or the manufacturer, and these are all the scooters that fulfill that criteria.

I included the data from user-reported ranges, although at this point we can’t really use that data as it’s still pretty scarce, anecdotal, and we don’t know how accurate it is anyway.

What to know before buying a long range electric scooter

There are a few things to keep in mind before buying a long range electric scooter.

If you have a long commute and you live in a somewhat rainy place, you will have to take into account the water-resistance of your scooter. The longer you ride, the more chance to catch some rain. If your scooter is not very water-resistant, try and add some extra waterproofing on your own.

As these scooters are more powerful and have bigger batteries, it is also natural that they will use more power for charging. Electric scooters are very cheap to charge, but you can expect these machines to cost two or three times more to charge than a regular scooter would.

Official manufacturer range vs user reported range

There is a very big caveat that we kind of touched on before, but it deserves more attention. That is the issue of what the manufacturers advertise as maximum range versus what real people in the real world get as a maximum range every day.

The range advertised by the manufacturers will rarely be achieved in the real world. The scooter manufacturers test for the range in ideal conditions, meaning:

• little or no wind
• flat straight and smooth roads
• a person weighing not more than 220 lbs / 100 kg, usually around 176 lbs / 80 kg
• most often in the power saving or Eco modes, since those are the best for the battery life

Naturally, many of these make sense. You will rarely face very strong winds, and you will often ride at lower speeds. Most people usually don’t weigh above 220 lbs / 100 kg.

The biggest objection I have about the way these tests is that they are done on straight, smooth roads. That is not even close to the way people will use the scooter.

Testing the scooters on roads with obstacles, where they might be forced to stop, turn, and adjust to the road, would paint a picture much closer to reality. But then, standardizing this would be very difficult, so the next best thing is probably testing on smooth flat roads, and let the users take that into account.

For that reason, we’ve included a lot of user-reported data about how much range people get from various scooters in the real world. For me, that data is far more valuable than the official range estimations from the manufacturers.

As we can see, often times the perfect test lab range is quite close to the real-world range that users get, but sometimes it is significantly lower, sometimes even more than two times lower.

While the advertised speed will give you a fair estimate of the scooter’s capabilities, you should be aware that it may not always be the case.

The manufacturers don’t necessarily try to hide the fact that they’re marketing the range they get from their scooters in perfect scenarios. Under the glass bell of lab conditions set up specifically to get as much range out of the scooter as possible, these scooters will get much higher ranges than what you and I will get on our rides to and from work.

If you want to get a general idea of how much actual range you can get from a specific scooter, see the electric scooter real range calculator.

How much range can I expect from my electric scooter?

Pessimistically looking, you can expect the range you get in your everyday use to be between 50% and 80% of the range specified by the manufacturer. Some users, however, report the same range in the real world as the official one. This will depend heavily on your weight, the scooter and battery age, the road conditions, traffic, and how much up and down you go.

Stay safe

The truly long range scooters will often times have very powerful motors and batteries. While some will be specialized for range, most will also be very fast as well. So typically, you will have to take safety even more seriously than usual with other scooters.

This is even more important if your rides are actually long, like with long commutes. You will be on the road for significant amounts of time, which means you will have to be prepared for many things. You want to make sure you are comfortable during your ride so that you can focus solely on the ride itself. If you’re going on a really long ride, consider having a spare tire with you (if you have air-filled tires of course).

Also, remember to stay focused. It’s very easy to get carried away by the magical flow of a long ride and lose attention.

Frequently asked questions about long range electric scooters

We all love long range electric scooters, and naturally, there are a ton of questions around them. Let’s answer them.

How much range do electric scooters have?

The most common electric scooters in use today will have an average range of 18 miles / 29 km, ranging from 7 mi / 11 km to 53 mi / 85 km. The average across every single electric scooter for adults is 28.5 mi / 46 km.

The data for all scooters are not included in this post, as not all scooters are long range models. I will likely publish a separate, more in-depth study on electric scooter range in general, that will include all the data.

What is the electric scooter with the longest range?

The electric scooter with the longest range in the world is the Dualtron X, with a range of 93 miles / 150 kilometers on a single charge.

The manufacturers of the Dualtron X claim it has a range of incredible 90 miles / 150 kilometers per single charge! On their Greece page, they even claim it can go up to 124 miles / 200 kilometers! The mode for this range to be achieved needs to be set to “Eco”, but that is usually the case for getting the maximum range possible.

What does range in an electric scooter depend on?

There are several parameters in play when it comes to the range you will get out of your electric scooter:

• the motor power
• the number of batteries
• the total battery power
• the total battery capacity
• the age of the battery
• the weight of the scooter
• the load that the scooter carries
• the age and overall condition of the scooter
• the road curvatures and conditions

Some of those are very hard to change.

Upgrading the motor, for example, is pretty hard to achieve. If it’s the biggest limiting factor, buying a new scooter altogether may be a much better option.

Also, you can’t control what kind of road you need to travel on (going up or down, turns, obstacles, etc), nor the conditions of the road. They both can negatively affect the range you get. Going up and down, turning, and stopping often, will drain your battery faster, which means you will get less range. Wet roads will probably reduce the range you get as well.

What is a good range for an electric scooter?

You will always want more range, so the more you get, the better. Any range over 30 miles / 50 kilometers is already very good, and will enable you to somewhat forget about the battery level. Scooters with an official range less than 18 miles / 30 kilometers will provide very small real-world ranges, and will not result in a good user experience.

How much range does the Xiaomi M365 have?

Officially, the Xiaomi M365 has a range of 18 miles / 30 kilometers on a single battery charge. The official number has been pretty consistent with the range reported from owners in real-world scenarios.

How much range does the Xiaomi M365 Pro have?

Out of the box, the Xiaomi M365 Pro provides a range of 28 miles / 45 kilometers per single battery charge. That is consistent, if not somewhat less, with what users have reported after testing the range for themselves. Some owners have decided to further customize the battery of this mega-popular model, and have managed to achieve much higher ranges, closer to 40 miles / 64 kilometers.

How much range does the Ninebot Max have?

The Ninebot Max has an official range of 40 miles / 64 kilometers. Learning the lessons from the Ninebot ES series, the company finally decided to upgrade the battery and provide an amazing budget-friendly option with tons of range.

Does electric scooter range decrease over time?

Electric scooter range depends primarily on the battery, and as the battery gets older and more worn-out, the range of your scooter will suffer as well. While there are things you can do to prolong your battery life, you will likely have to completely replace it after 2 to 3 years of usage. The good news is, with a new battery, you will continue getting the most range that your scooter can provide.

How can I increase the range of my electric scooter?

There are a lot of things you can do to increase the range of your scooter. Some of them require modifying your scooter, some not so much.

Among the safest things you can first try is making sure your scooter is clean and functioning properly. Defects will definitely subtract from your range, and filth stuck in the wheels, motor, or battery will have a negative effect as well.

Also, make sure you’re never draining your battery completely. Being as disciplined as possible about your battery will make sure it lasts longer and continues to provide you the range you got on day 1. This is one of the most common complaints people have as their scooters age. While part of it is the natural and unavoidable wear-and-tear that all batteries suffer from, a lot of it is the user’s fault. Simply don’t let your battery get empty, charge your scooter regularly, and you will keep getting the best range you can.

Another important factor is the weight that the scooter carries. Naturally, the more weight it has to pull, the more power it will use in less time, which will result in less range.

There are two ways to reduce the weight that the scooter has to pull.

One is to reduce the load your scooter has to carry.

If planning a long trip, strip down everything that might be redundant off of you. Never sacrifice safety because of this (you won’t lose much load anyway), but maybe you don’t really need to carry your backpack with your laptop and charger and half your office in it.

I’ve seen many reports and reviews from heavy users that say their range is not affected too much by their weight. But there is a significant part of owners, over a large number of scooters, that report getting ranges much smaller than advertised.

Besides the load the scooter pulls, the weight it has to carry can also be reduced by making the scooter itself lighter too. However, these are advanced modifications outside the scope of this post. We will address them in another one, but for now, unless you’re 100% sure you know what you’re doing, don’t remove any parts of the scooter in order to make it lighter. Just know that expert users customize their scooters for range by making them lighter.

Finally, the most important part, the one that determines your range the most, will be the battery (or batteries of your scooter). Of course, the bigger, better, newer, more powerful the battery is, the more range you will get.

Lucky for us, the battery can be improved upon, and in many cases, it’s not a difficult thing to do at all. Many users have done so safely.

There are quite a few notoriously weak-ranged models that basically need a second battery in order for them to have any serious range. Some scooters even have a planned room and parts for adding the second battery easily.

There are two ways to improve your total battery power:

• improving the existing battery
• adding extra batteries

Depending on the other parts in your scooter, mainly the motor and the electronics in the controller, you may be able to upgrade the battery in your scooter for a more powerful one. The key is to check the maximum voltage that the motor and the electronics are able to support. If that limit is a lot lower than the voltage of your current battery, upgrading your battery to one with higher voltage will provide you with more battery power, hence more range.

But other than increasing the voltage, you can also go for a battery with a larger capacity. This is done by getting a battery that has a higher charge. Again, make sure that the voltage is within the limit of what your scooter’s electronics support.

There might come a time when you simply have no other choice but to replace your battery. As they get old and through more charge cycles, batteries lose capacity. For electric scooters, that translates to a loss of range. The general rule is that after 1000 charges, you may see your battery capacity drop to 50% of its initial one. That will probably mean you need to renew your battery. If doing so, check if it makes sense to go for a stronger battery if you need so.

A much better option than replacing your battery is adding an extra one, especially if your battery is still not that old.

Some scooters come with the option to add a second battery very easily, like the Ninebot ES2. Others do require a bit of modification, which may lapse your warranty in some cases. But you can be sure that adding a battery will increase your range by a lot.

By how much? Well, if you add a second battery, the same as the first one, you will not get double the range, but you may increase your range for up to 70% more. That is some serious beefing up.

If your scooter doesn’t have an option to easily add a second battery, you will likely have to install the second one in series. That means you will connect the second battery to the first one, or after it might be a better description. That way, the voltage and the current the motor gets will not change by a lot, but the total capacity of your scooter will improve. That means more range.

Beyond these methods, there are further customizations that owners go for to get even more range. However, they often require advanced mechanical and electronics knowledge and experience, so they are outside of the scope of this article.

If you know a scooter mechanic, talk to them to see if they can recommend some additional methods for getting more range. Usually, they may recommend making the scooter lighter by removing parts they know are mostly bulk, or even doing things like rewinding the motor or changing the sprockets.
