With its massive LED headlight, and 20” fat tires, the Altai R500 has an average range up to 60 miles and a top speed up to 28 mph, perfect for a long joyride or your daily commute. You might want to customize your ride to fit your preferences, of course, and again, there’s no better scooter for that than the Burn-e 2 Max. 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. 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. 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.

Instead of packing a 72V 28Ah unit, the Max wields a mammoth 72V 40Ah version, translating into a maximum range of 115 miles. All of this unbridled savagery amounts to a top speed of 62 mph – in case you needed a little dose of reality, that’s about a third faster than a gazelle and four-fifths as fast as a hurricane. So if you are all into that, then maybe this one is a bit too modest getting away from the red light. Additionally, you can switch between modes like single/dual motor and eco/turbo to control your speed. However, to allow for a wider comparison of scooters so that I could pick the top performers, I expanded the field of candidates to include models that could reach speeds of between 15 and 18 mph.INOKIM are known for their unique design and great-looking scooters, and the Light 2 even comes in a range of different colours. Having asked for feedback on the Ghost 2021, the brand set to work on addressing all the imperfections to produce an upgraded version that is altogether more powerful and more robust than its predecessor.

Front and rear turn signals accompany the signature dual headlights, while the under-deck lighting wouldn't go a miss in a Nicki Minaj video.Elsewhere, the Apex builds on its safety features with a high-mounted headlight and a rear taillight that flashes when you brake – a feature precious few budget scooters can claim to share. The build quality with a heat treated welded tubular frame and adjustable suspension provides superb ride quality and handling. A special mention must also go to the flared handgrips, which are an exhibition of ergonomic design. These are feathers in its cap; they mitigate the lack of suspension by providing ample shock absorption, while their size and tread pattern ensure plenty of traction.

I eventually stopped counting the stares and finger-pointing as I maneuvered the gleaming white Motocompacto along the winding pavement. A single front wheel 500W/700W peak power motor is even strong uphill and will beat other similar scooters as well in acceleration.On the hunt for a performance scooter that will thrive on forest trails as well as inner-city routes? Well, let's go through the options and also run through some pros and cons of high-speed electric scooters. The deck, spacious and (just about) grippy enough, serves an important purpose in this regard, while the addition of a kickplate allows you to lean into the ride for greater control and maneuverability. Whether you’re new to scooters, a commuter, a student, or just a casual rider looking for a reliable sidekick, this is a model that’s sure to leave you beaming. The Burn-e 2 Max has rewritten the rule book on ultra-performance; it’s the GT-R of the scooter world, a model that has competitors scratching their heads in dismay.
