It features regenerative braking for an efficient ride. Three powerful LED lights at the front and two at the rear for optimal visibility in traffic or on nighttime rides. Protective, extra-long mudguards and the option for customizations, this is a sturdy and safe option while still packing quite a punch. This Horizon electric scooter is the perfect choice for urban transport.
GOTRAX GXL Electric Scooter
The GOTRAX GLX Electric Scooter is one of the cheapest scooters on our list so it shouldn’t come as no surprise that it doesn’t have the most impressive spec sheet when compared to the more expensive scooters. But it’s a scooter that does offer good performance and reliability for first-time buyers or those buyers on a small budget.
It has a top speed of 15.5 mph and can travel as far as 12 miles on a single charge. The GLX is capable of handling up to a 220-pound rider so it’s a good option for adults.

APOLLO Explore
If you’re looking for a scooter that can go the distance the APOLLO Explore electric scooter is one of the best around. This scooter with its very compact and portable design is a high-performance long-range scooter that can conquer any urban street.
This new version delivers a very fast and comfortable ride thanks to a 52V 18Ah Dynavolt battery and a 1000W motor with 3 speed settings that help to propel this scooter to a top speed of 32 mph and that’s commute up to 34 miles on a single charge.

Segway-Ninebot ES4 Electric KickScooter
Segway is known for building impressive two-wheel electric rides and this can be said about this Segway-Ninebot ES4 Electric KickScooter. It’s a surprisingly affordable scooter that can go up to 28 miles on one charge and reach a top speed of 18.6mph, so it’s not as fast as the Horizon scooter.
When it comes to your safety, the ES4 has an electrically-assisted braking system to slow you down gradually and if you need to stop suddenly there’s a fender brake that will stop you in a hurry.
Segway has also designed the footplate on this e-scooter to be reasonably wide with a non-slip surface to make sure you always have comfortable secure footing even on damp days.
Widewheel Pro
The newly upgraded Widewheel Pro electric scooter now has a bigger battery, reinforced design, enhanced display, and dual brakes. The dual (500W) motor offers strong torque and extra acceleration. For this 1000W electric scooter, inclines of 30% are no big deal and top speeds are a comfortable 26mph with a fairly impressive range of 22 miles (10-15% higher than the previous version).
Aptly named, the Widewheel Pro sports ultra-wide foam-filled tires, guaranteeing no punctures. You might find that airless tires result in a much less smoother ride but the front and rear suspension counter this and it works very well. Folding down with ease and 54lbs in weight it can be stowed in a luggage rack or car boot for portability.
This is a bit of an all-rounder, built for reliability, versatility and great riding satisfaction. The only thing to be mindful of is the speed is marginally affected by the weight of the rider (as with all-electric scooters).
