The Fastest Electric Scooters Of 2022
That being said, there’s a hierarchy when it comes to speed among electric scooters. Some have conservative limitations regarding speed, while others go full throttle.
To make it easier for you to find a scooter that’ll satisfy your need for speed, we’ve listed the best fastest scooters of 2022.
E-scooters are no longer just something we do to get from A to B; it’s now a lifestyle choice – and there are fast electric scooters out there perfect for each price point and power level.
What are the fastest electric scooters?
Primarily you have your kids and teens scooters, your basic city cruiser models, and then your more advanced daily commuter e-scooters, which have higher specs and features that facilitate comfortable distance riding.
Unfortunately, the scooters above definitely won’t increase your heart rate nor get your adrenaline pumping. So, riders began to demand more. And certain manufacturers listened. And oh boy, did they deliver.
Enter the high-performance electric scooters! Some are so powerful they are even called Hyper Scooters.
Below in this review, you will find some of the most hardcore e-scooters that money can buy.
Designed for speed and enjoyment
Plus, the major benefit is that you no longer have to own multiple e-scooters. Just one, or maybe two, will get the job done of blowing your socks off while you are going to work, and you can load up the same bad boy on the weekend and go tearing up the trails and mountain paths to your heart’s content.
A good few of the top speed and power models we reviewed can actually fulfil both requirements and are both street racers and off-road monsters, built into the one genuinely fantastic high-speed electric scooter.
So get ready, and strap in because for those who seriously prioritise having the ultimate thrill ride with their electric scooters, this list gives an overview of our top picks of the fastest and most powerful models available in 2022– all from trustworthy manufacturers, catering to the ultimate enthusiast market looking for the best electric scooters.

Qiewa Q-Power
Specs
Range: 50 miles
Weight: 81.5 lbs
Motor: 3200W
Wheel Size: 10 inches
Warranty: 12 months
Summary
Powered by incredible 1600W dual motors, the Q-POWER can reach a max speed of 55 miles per hour. This makes it the fastest electric scooter on the market as of right now.
There is zero doubt that speed is the keyword for this high-power scooter, but apart from that, it boasts some impressive features as well.
Features
The Qiewa Q-POWER folds up nicely for easy storage and has a weight limit of 440 lbs which means it can handle heavy riders comfortably. Also, the scooter weighs around 81.5 pounds which is decent considering the battery, motors and construction.
A nice addition is the wireless remote that comes with the scooter. Using this remote, you can lock/unlock the scooter, and it also has anti-theft functionality, meaning you can track your scooter’s location at any time.
Off-Road
As for other notable features, there’s an adjustable handlebar (your back will thank you later), LED lights for low-light settings, double hydraulic brakes, a honking horn to show your presence in traffic and different riding modes. Also, the Q-POWER is IP5 waterproof, meaning you don’t have to worry about riding in the rain or through wet areas.
As for the price, it isn’t all that bad. Compared to other similarly performing models, you’re getting a lot of value for your money here. With a 12-month warranty and a renowned company behind it, the Qiewa Q-POWER has all the bells and whistles to be not only the fastest electric scooter but also the most versatile.
The Q-Power has the savage hill-climbing ability, sailing up our hill climb test (60 m, 10% grade, 74 kg rider) in 7.5 seconds with an average speed of 29.1 km.
This is comparable to the fastest scooter we had previously tested — the Wolf Warrior 11, which went up the same hill in 7.6 seconds with an average speed of 28.8 km.

Nanrobot LS7
Nanrobot LS7Specs
Range: 43 miles
Weight: 110 lbs
Motor: 3600W
Wheel Size: 11 inches
Warranty: 6 months
Summary
Features
Besides these features, the NanRobot LS7 does include some basics. It can be folded for better transportation and has a small LED light on the base to illuminate your path.
Incredible Suspension
Not only are they all-terrain, but they are also pneumatic and shock absorbing. This model is ideal for basic off-roading and is also one of the best electric scooters for hunting or travelling through treacherous terrain.
If you know you want to get into some serious business and are looking for something that is not a street vehicle, then the NanRobot LS7 is for you.
Bronco 11 Xtreme
Specs
Range: 50 miles
Weight: 102 lbs
Motor: 8400W
Wheel Size: 11 inches
Summary
The Bronco 11 Xtreme really does live up to its name. It’s an extreme scooter by name and nature. Expect to reach speeds of up to 70mph on flat ground and expect to do up to 50 miles when ridden carefully. The 11 Xtreme is such a unique scooter because of the combination of features. It’s the first scooter we’ve seen using premium PURE SINEWAVE controllers running at 100amp with short term support phase currents up to 200a per phase or (400amp peak). No other scooter we’ve ever seen runs controllers that are so capable. Bronco motors decided to take a scooter and make it powerful and robust without making it stupidly expensive. They’ve used high-quality parts and a bespoke hot forging process to manufacture the frame.
This is the first electric scooter we’ve seen with air suspension (gas suspension) thanks to the rear shock absorber, which uses air instead of a conventional spring. You are supplied with a shock pump to adjust how much pressure is within the unit. The front and rear shock absorbers also offer dampening adjustment, which means you can customise your ride just by changing the dials.
The Bronco 11 Xtreme is handbuilt and goes through individual quality control inspection before being shipped out – we don’t know many manufacturers who do this as most are made and distributed in bulk.
Agile
Value for Money?
Oh yes. The amount of power and fun you get for £3400-£3500 (depending on where you buy it) is unquestionable. The 11 Xtreme offers the best value for money based on performance, not features. The 11 Xtreme doesn’t provide much in terms of an LCD control panel or handlebar features/switchgear; it makes up for this with sheer performance and ride quality, as well as the scooter’s overall build quality.
Who is it Suitable for?
It’s made for pure speed & adrenaline junkies. Whilst it can be used by any experienced rider, we wouldn’t recommend it to new scooter riders or those with little experience riding – primarily because it’s fast and dangerous if not ridden properly. It can also be used for endurance runs as long as you run single motor mode and potter around.
Pros
Exceptional Build Quality
Incredibly smooth and stable at high speeds
Ships with Steering Damper
Very Agile Scooter to Ride
Longer Wheel Base thanks to Rear Suspension & Swingarm
Rear Footrest Angle is Great
Solid Double Clamp for Stem
Great range
Adjustable Air Suspension
Cons
Will destroy tyres unless you pull off gently every time
No stem mounted front lighting
Slow to charge
Kaabo Wolf King
Specs
Range: 50 miles
Weight: 105 lbs
Motor: 3000W
Wheel Size: 11 inches
Summary
The Kaabo Wolf King electric scooter is pretty similar to the Wolf Warrior but better in every aspect. The Wolf King falls in the category of the top of the range electric scooters with its incredible power, superior folding mechanism, robust dual stem hydraulic suspension, ultra-bright headlights and a loud horn. It’s essentially a speed machine built for experienced scooter riders looking for an adrenaline rush.
The scooter features rugged solid construction with massive hydraulic shocks and a tubular steel exoskeleton with a striking gold finish that adds to its aesthetic qualities.
The scooter’s handlebars are pretty broad, measuring 24.6 inches, and feature a rubber finish providing maximum grip and stability when riding. A pair of majestic gold rings are placed on each handlebar’s ends, adding to the scooter’s premium finish.
What’s more, the controls are intuitively placed, allowing users to control the scooter fully. The Eco/Turbo and Single/Dual motor selection buttons and the innovative EY3 display and finger throttle are placed on the right side of the handlebars, allowing for easy reach and control.
The Wolf King is a true performance monster. Combining MiniMotors’ electric system and a 72V battery, the Kaabo Wolf King delivers unprecedented torque levels and power like never before. The scooter is equipped with dual 1500W motors found at the front and the back, propelling it to an impressive top speed of 60 mph (100km/h) in full acceleration mode.
Expect utmost comfort when riding the scooter owing to its impressive features that enhance the ride quality. The scooter features thick 11-inch tyres and an impressive hydraulic suspension providing a springy cushioning for a highly comfortable ride. It almost feels like gliding on air as opposed to riding. The scooter boasts high-end, motorcycle-grade inverted hydraulic front shock absorbers and dual rear springs, delivering an extremely high level of shock absorption even on rugged terrains. The large tubeless tyres have excellent traction and effectively soak up the underfoot obstacles for comfortable rides. In essence, the stiff frame, solid suspension, spacious rubberised deck, ergonomic handlebars and fat tyres combine to achieve an excellent ride quality.
Value for Money?
The Wolf King’s incredible performance, braking power and outstanding ride quality match its high price point. It’s undoubtedly one of the most powerful electric scooters you can get at a budget-friendly price. It’s much more affordable than other highly-priced power electric scooters such as the Dualtron Ultra 2, Zero 11X, Dualtron Storm and Dualtron X 2.
Who is it Suitable for?
The Wolf King is undoubtedly made for experienced scooter riders looking for a thrill with jaw-dropping top speed coupled with unmatched power. It is a good fit for individuals looking to buy a high performing electric scooter without breaking the bank.

Dualtron X2
Specs
Range: 74.5 miles
Weight: 145 lbs
Motor: 8300W
Wheel Size: 13 inches
Summary
Dualtron X2 construction is flawless and oozes quality. The scooter employs a rugged construction with the frame built from a corrosion-free, aerospace-grade aluminium alloy. The aluminium construction makes the scooter lightweight, sturdy and durable. From afar, the scooter appears well-constructed, with the rugged, beefy tank-like exterior giving riders the confidence they need, especially when travelling at such high speeds.
Value for Money?
With a price tag starting at £5 000, the Dualtron X2 is expensive. Nonetheless, its top speed, intense power and long-range mean you’re getting value from every inch of the price. You can also replace the road tyres with knobbly high-traction off-road tyres and easily hit your favourite off-road trails.
Who is it Suitable for?
The Dualtron X2 is suitable for adrenaline junkies looking for a powerful and fast scooter for the utmost thrill. It’s a perfect addition to one’s line of scooters.

Intuitive LCD display with fingerprint locking system
Control module for turn signals, horn, modes, emergency lights and on/off function
Great build quality
Water-resistant
6-months Warranty
Cons
Pretty heavy, so portability can be an issue
Long charge time
The seat has to be bought separately
Short warranty period considering the high price point. There’s a $350 charge to extend the warranty to one year
Apollo Pro
Specs
Range: 68 miles
Weight: 72 lbs
Motor: 2000W
Wheel Size: 10 inches
Warranty: 24 months
Summary
The Apollo Pro features a sleek, aerodynamic design backed by high-powered motors and comes in one signature colour option- black with blue accents. It would have been great if it came in different colours, but this doesn’t feel like a huge compromise.
The Apollo Pro scooter is made from high-grade forged aluminium, which means it is incredibly durable and sturdy. It has an uncluttered, simple display with neatly-placed controls that minimise distractions while riding. The display provides vital riding statistics such as speed, distance, battery charge for convenience in riding. The wires are internally routed and encased in the stem and deck, which prevents them from snagging and also keeps them from getting tangled.
Great performance
Apollo Pro scooter has incredible acceleration; it can get up to 30 mph (48 km/h) in just 6.2 seconds. This is pretty quick for a scooter, and only the Apollo Pro Ludicrous beats it slightly as it reaches 30 mph in 5.3 seconds.
Apollo equipped the Pro with some serious stopping power to accommodate the high acceleration. The brakes have an incredible braking distance of 16.1 feet (5 meters) when riding at the maximum speed of 38 mph (61 km/h). The model can also come to an instant halt when doing 15 mph (24 km/h) at 3 meters. This is impressive, considering most other scooters can only do 5 meters when going at the same speed.
