If you want to feel like Max Verstappen as you accelerate, race, and chicane your way through your city with captivating control, then the Apollo Phantom V3 will make you feel like you’re driving an F1 car on two wheels.
Featuring Apollo’s new MACH1 controller, a regen brake paddle, an integrated mobile app, terrifyingly fast Ludo mode, and one of the most ergonomic cockpits that I’ve had the pleasure of testing, it builds on the knockout blueprint enshrined by previous iterations to deliver spine-tingling performance and exquisite handling.
While there are scooters that give the Phantom a run for its money, not many can offer the same level of all-encompassing customer experience. It’s for this reason that we believe that the V3 will continue a lineage of highly-popular Apollo scooters.

Finding an everyday scooter that combines a low-maintenance design with a comfortable ride is a challenge…that was until the Fluid Vista entered the arena.
Sporting puncture-proof solid tires and a shock-absorbing adjustable suspension system, it hits the sweet spot that other scooters struggle to achieve.
In the competitive field of commuter scooters, there’s just a handful of models that stand out, and the Vista has earned its status as a top performer.
With a litany of headline-worthy features, a well-balanced performance profile, and an affordable price tag, it not only promises value for money but proves itself as a zero-hassle alternative to the popular EMOVE Cruiser.

The EMOVE Cruiser S has landed and it’s sent shockwaves roaring across the commuter scooter landscape.
Not only does it retain the same stratospheric maximum range as its predecessor, but this time around it comes accompanied by a plethora of upgrades that make it an altogether better ride.
In what’s a first for a single-motor model, it now features a Sine Wave controller. Combined with the new ergonomic thumb throttle it achieves a supremely smooth acceleration curve.
Then there are the self-healing tires, improved stem clamp, and 4-color display that combine to build upon what was already a successful blueprint.
Improving a scooter that’s previously won two of our annual Electric Scooter Insider Awards (as voted for by thousands of riders) is no mean feat - but the EMOVE Cruiser S has managed it with swagger. And the best bit of all? It costs the same as the original.

Looking for a premium scooter that won’t cost you a premium penny? Rejoice, because Kaabo’s industry game-changer, the Mantis V2, is the pound-for-pound heavyweight that you’ve been waiting for.
Big words, right? What’s so game-changing, I hear you say? Well, typically, a model with dual 60V 1000W motors, 25A Sine Wave controllers, and an 18.2Ah battery will set you back well over $2,000 - and that’s being conservative. Not so with the V2. The latest addition to the illustrious Mantis line gives you a Rolls Royce level of performance for the price of a 2001 Toyota Corolla.
Voted by thousands of our readers as one of the best electric scooters of 2022, the Mantis V2 represents a challenge to competitors that isn’t easily met. Fusing best-in-class performance, handling, and ferocity, this is a scooter to be admired - and more importantly, enjoyed.

New to electric scooters? Or perhaps you’re simply looking for a reliable all-rounder to revitalize your daily commute? Either way, you’re in luck, because Fluid Free Ride has once again shaken up the entry-level market with the Horizon V2.
Channeling the snappy power, compact design, and refreshing simplicity that made the original Horizon one of the market’s most popular scooters, the V2 glides into the limelight with a smattering of excellent upgrades. Among these are an improved waterproof display, ergonomically superior thumb throttle, and a carry handle that moonlights as a footrest.
But, the Horizon’s main USP remains the same: value for money. Available with either a 10.4Ah or 13Ah battery, the V2 is the cheapest scooter with front and rear suspension - whichever model you pick.

When it comes to budget scooters, Turboant is like Stone Cold Steve Austin clearing a ring full of horse jockeys. Unpretentious yet dominant, this is the brand that has made the likes of the X7 Pro, X7 Max, V8, and M10 household names among newcomers to the world of electric scooters.
Now, Turboant is back at it again. It’s taken the successful blueprint of the M10 and created the all-new M10 Lite, a scooter that’s rewritten the rulebook of what a sub $400 model can deliver.
From chart-topping performance in its price class to a design that surpasses its similarly-priced competitors, this is one scooter not to be missed.

Introducing the Eagle One Pro, Varla’s biggest and toughest scooter yet.
If you’re expecting an update on the original Eagle One, think again. This is an entirely new direction cut from an entirely different cloth. Faster and feistier, the Pro is Varla’s bid to muscle in on all-terrain scooter fun.
Equipped with huge 11-inch tires, hydraulic suspension, and a tank-like frame, it ticks the boxes required for a robust, off-road juggernaut.
Sure, it’s not without its flaws, but there’s no denying this is a model that represents serious value for money in a category where prices often soar.

When Kaabo released the original Wolf Warrior X, scooterists who wanted a lighter, smaller alternative to the original Wolf Warrior howled in delight.
This was followed by the Wolf Warrior X Pro, an upgrade that came with a bigger battery and better display, yet, with its inferior Square Wave controllers, a slightly slower acceleration rate and jerky throttle, too.
A misstep? Perhaps. But there’s now a new pack leader in town: the Wolf Warrior X GT.
Integrating the best of its predecessors into one complete demonstration of style and substance, this brooding juggernaut is even closer to delivering the X factor that’s been long teased.
It has a few flaws and some areas of its design would have benefited from a refresh, but after all, no electric scooter is perfect. Whether you think it’s good value or not will depend on what you want from a scooter. If that’s a viciously fast model designed to burn rubber on the asphalt, then it's a great option, but if you’re searching for an all-terrain titan that soaks up the irregularities of whatever you can throw its way, then you’d be better off with the Mantis King GT.

What do you get when you take all that’s great about a Mantis scooter and feed it steroids? The Mantis King GT. This new and improved titan of Kaboo’s beloved range has upped the ante in every conceivable way.
We were calling for Kaabo to bring innovation to the table and with the GT’s improved frame, higher power output, and robust durability, they’ve more than delivered.
Everywhere you look, the King GT is a statement of intent. Take, for instance, the Samsung battery that can produce a monumental maximum range of 56 miles. Or the upgraded dual 30A Sine Wave controllers that grant you jaw-dropping accelerative control. Perhaps the adjustable hydraulic suspension will be what captures your heart?
With upgrades in almost every area, this stunning all-terrain performance scooter offers big power, exceptional handling, and a design that is guaranteed to turn heads.

SPLACH is back - and we couldn’t be happier about it.
Following on from its widely popular Twin and Turbo models, the visionary upstart of the scooter world is at it again with the new Titan, a bona fide howitzer that lives up to its name by delivering a level of performance usually reserved for scooters approaching double its price tag.
Featuring plush suspension, powerful dual 1000W motors, and a wealth of well-designed features - including a super easy folding mechanism, impressive lighting rig, and a big battery - the SPLACH Titan is a value-busting thunderbolt that has left other performance scooters scrabbling for a response.
There’s a select group of scooters that have the IT Factor, and the Titan is one of them. Throughout our rigorous hands-on tests, we’ve been extremely impressed with its performance. As a result, we firmly put our seal of approval on this scooter and recommend it highly to anyone wanting a fantastic all-terrain model at an exceptionally low price.

On the hunt for an entry-level performance scooter that won’t leave you considering therapy when looking at your bank account? A scooter that delivers supernatural power while remaining portable enough to fit in your car trunk for weekend haunts? Introducing the new and improved Apollo Ghost 2022.
Apollo being the venerated God of the scootering world, the brand has once again listened to customer feedback on the original, much-loved Ghost; gone back to the drawing board; and developed an altogether tougher, more powerful, “no frills, high thrills” beast.
Cower in the wake of dual 52V 1000W motors that far surpass the original’s 52V 800W offerings. Glory in a strengthened stem that is now 50% stronger than that wielded by its predecessor. And bask in the brilliance of an upgraded folding mechanism that elevates this spirited firecracker to new levels of design elegance. The people have spoken, and the Apollo Ghost 2022 has answered with what we think is the best entry-level performance electric scooter.

Apollo isn’t one of the most popular electric scooter brands for no reason. It’s earned our affections by ceaselessly listening to customer feedback and continually improving its range. So, what’s it gone and done now? Taken everything we loved about the Apollo Air and Air Pro, and upgraded them with the Air 2022.
While the Air Pro had a 350W motor that could hit a top speed of 18 mph, and a 36V 10Ah battery with 18 miles in its locker, the Air 2022 ups the ante across the board. The new and improved model now wields a 500W motor with a top speed of 21 mph, while boasting a far superior 21700 36V 15Ah battery that obliterates its older brother with a new maximum range of 31 miles.
And the upgrades don’t stop there. Revamped tires, an enhanced paint job, the addition of a silky smooth regenerative brake, and the super simple folding mechanism that previously wowed users of the new Apollo City all help elevate the Apollo Air 2022 above what was already a winning formula.

Hi Gavin,
Thanks for your comment. I don’t believe GoTrax is releasing a new GXL any time soon. They do offer the GoTrax Apex, though, which is a better version of the GXL V2. You can read more about the Apex in my full review here.

Hi Dan,
Great question! I’m going to be updating the page with a brand new list of the best long-range electric scooters in the next few weeks. Keep your eye’s peeled as the EMOVE Cruiser may make an appearance (spoiler alert…it does).

Hi Dhiren,
Great question! I would opt for the Zing E8 for younger children. For teens, the E22 will be best. The E22 is too heavy for younger children.
Thanks

Hi Phil,
You can buy the ZING E10 directly from Segway, here.

Hi Antony,
You are correct that the Wolf Warrior has a maximum mileage, under prime conditions, of 70 miles.
Eco mode limits you to about 20 mph so you should be able to take full advantage of the mileage.
Thanks, enjoy cruising around on the Wolf!

Hi Arja,
Unfortunately, I only review the scooters – I don’t sell them. I hope you’re able to get your hands on the Mototec FatBoy. Let me know if you need any more help.

Hi Michelle,
Traveling around Europe and exploring cities on a scooter sounds awesome! My advice would be to opt for a model that, like you said, is light, compact, and has a quick recharge time.
The Unagi Model One is the lightest scooter I’ve reviewed (it weighs just 23 lbs), folds and can be stored easily, and takes 4-5 hours to fully charge giving you 15.5 miles to cruise round the cities.
Alternatively, the INOKIM Light is another good option (30 lbs, folds, 4-5 hours charge for 20 miles).
Or, if you want a cheap model go for the GoTrax GXL 2 (26.4 lbs, folds, 4 charge hours for 12 miles).
