1. Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 - £2,000
The Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 isn’t just another electric scooter—it’s a beast that feels like it was made for those who thrive on adrenaline. The first time you hop on, you’ll notice the sheer power coursing through its dual 1200W motors, which together churn out a whopping 2400W. When I took it for a spin, the acceleration was something else. The 50 mph top speed is no joke, and it really feels like the scooter is eager to push you faster with every twist of the throttle.
What I really appreciated, though, was how stable it felt even when pushing its limits. The dual shock absorber system is a game changer. It handled everything I threw at it, from rough city streets to gravel paths. I could feel the dual shocks soaking up the bumps, making the ride surprisingly smooth for something this powerful.
The nearly 56-mile range was more than enough for a day of exploring—whether I was zipping down streets or tackling off-road trails, I never felt like I had to worry about running out of juice. This scooter is ideal if you’re looking for a thrilling ride that’s versatile enough to take you from urban jungles to off-road adventures without missing a beat.
2. Zero 10X - £1,454.17
The Zero 10X is the kind of scooter that feels like an animal waiting to be unleashed. I remember the first time I kicked it into gear—the dual motors offer a burst of power that’s thrilling yet controlled. It quickly hits speeds close to 40 mph, and you feel the torque immediately as you take off. What I loved most, though, was how versatile it is, the 10X feels as comfortable off-road as it does on-road.
The front and rear suspension play a big part in making your ride comfortable. You can feel the scooter absorb imperfections in the road, which makes a huge difference, especially on longer rides. The range was another pleasant surprise. With close to 50 miles on a single charge, I could easily take it out for a full day without constantly eyeing the battery gauge. Plus, the build quality feels premium—the kind of robust, well-thought-out design that makes you confident this scooter will last. If you’re after something that can comfortably switch between city streets and rougher terrains, the Zero 10X is a solid choice.
3. Nami Klima One - £1,499.13
Nami are a big name in the world of performance scooters. And riding the Nami Klima One feels like stepping into a whole new level of electric scooters. The first thing that hit me was the speed of acceleration - it gets to its top speed of 42mph in an aggressive and sharp manner. But the scooter has this amazing balance between power and control. Even as I pushed it to its limits, it always felt stable and safe, which is no small feat at these speeds.
But the Nami Klima One isn’t just about speed—it’s also built for those who need endurance. With a range of up to 62 miles, I found myself less worried about where the nearest charging station was and more focused on enjoying the ride. The scooter’s dual motors give you that extra push when you need it, especially on inclines or when you’re just in the mood to let loose. And let’s talk about comfort—the suspension system is top-notch, absorbing bumps and making sure the ride stays smooth no matter the terrain. This is the kind of scooter you can rely on for both daily commutes and longer, more adventurous rides.
4. EMOVE Cruiser - £1,299
One of the less expensive scooters on this list, the EMOVE Cruiser is one of those e-scooters that really gets the balance right between comfort, performance, and practicality. The first time I took it out, I was impressed by how easy it was to ride, even at higher speeds. Hitting 33 mph on a scooter that’s as stable as this one is a testament to its design. The throttle response is smooth, and you never feel like the scooter is getting away from you—it’s fast, but not in a way that’s intimidating.
What stood out most to me was the range. With a full 62 miles available on a single charge, this scooter is a commuter’s dream, if you're lucky enough to live in a country where a 32mph scooter is street legal. I spent a whole day riding around without having to think about finding a place to plug in, and that’s a game changer. The comfort level is also worth mentioning—the front suspension does a great job of soaking up the usual bumps and cracks you find on city streets. If you’re in the market for a scooter that you can ride all day without worry, the EMOVE Cruiser is definitely worth considering.
5. Dualtron Raptor 2 - £1,760
The Dualtron Raptor 2 was a bit of a revelation for me. It’s one of those scooters that proves you don’t need a massive, heavy frame to get some serious speed. The first time I cranked it up to over 40 mph, I was blown away by how light and nimble it felt. This scooter is perfect for those who need to get through the city quickly—it’s responsive, agile, and handles beautifully in tight spots.
The Raptor 2 does compromise on range compared to the other scooters on this list, though you should manage to get a solid 25-30 miles out of it, which is more than enough for daily commuting or a weekend ride. What really impressed me was how it maintained speed without sacrificing control. The dual motors kick in just when you need that extra boost, especially on inclines. If you’re someone who values speed but doesn’t want to lug around a heavy scooter, the Dualtron Raptor 2 is an excellent choice.
6. Dualtron Thunder 2 - £3,160
The Dualtron Thunder 2 is in a league of its own when it comes to performance scooters. Let’s start with the speed—62 mph on a scooter is something you have to experience to believe. The first time I took it out, I felt like I was on a rocket. But what’s even more impressive is how well it handles that speed. The adjustable rubber suspension does an incredible job of keeping the ride smooth, even when you’re really pushing it.
The range is another standout feature. With nearly 78 miles on a single charge, this scooter is built for those who don’t want to be tied down to frequent charging stops. I found it perfect for long, high-speed commutes or just days when you want to ride without worrying about where the next outlet is. The build quality is also top-notch—everything about this scooter screams durability and premium craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a scooter that can do it all, and then some, the Dualtron Thunder 2 is where you should be looking.
