The Fastest Electric Scooters Of 2022

There is nothing better than to feel the wind rushing through your hair; that’s why riding an electric scooter appeals to so many people. We love the exhilarating feeling of speed, wind and adrenaline; it’s just so much fun and gives you that feeling of freedom. Not to mention that it is just a cool way to get around cities and enjoy the great outdoors. 

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?

With the explosion of electric scooter popularity over the last few years, there are thousands of models to choose from, and these models cater to specific niches and rider requirements.

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

There will always be a high-level performance need of any transport mode. The electric scooter manufacturers gladly took up the challenge and went all out on designing and constructing these fast and streamlined electric scooters.

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.

Things we took into consideration

All of the scooters listed have been carefully considered. It’s not just the top speed that has been taken into account, but also the torque, acceleration curve, safety, brakes, type of tyres, suspension, range, and overall build quality.

Before you check out the scooters, it’s important to note that fast scooters, otherwise known as performance scooters, tend to cost more than run-of-the-mill models because of their top-of-the-line build quality. I have included some cheaper models, though.

The different speed categories:

  • Fast (15-30 MPH) Best For First Time Riders

  •  Super Fast (30-45 MPH) Best For Intermediate Riders

  •  Extremely Fast (45-65+ MPH) Best For Advanced Riders

Summary

Topping the list is an off-road capable monstrosity from Qiewa. The Qiewa Q-POWER is their most expensive electric scooter yet – and it is also their fastest.

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

Powered by a high-capacity 5C 26AH battery, the Q-POWER can travel around 50 miles on a single charge, depending on how you use it. This isn’t the longest range on this list, but it is definitely up there. A single charge takes between 12 and 15 hours which is pretty average.

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

It is geared with wide 11″ off-road tyres and both front and rear shock absorbers, making it the ideal scooter for off-road usage. With the immense power and the sturdy construction, you can climb and combat all sorts of terrain, making for some enjoyable rides.

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.

Best Speed

The Q -Power has a claimed top speed of 89 km. We could only test it up to 66.0 km due to lack of runway. We estimate that it should be able to hit 81 km, which is very fast.

Summary

The NanRobot LS7 is the ideal model for off-roading because it features a powerful motor, quick breaks, and high-quality steering. This electric scooter uses all-terrain tyres with a diameter of 11 inches. These provide an easy way to travel in a broad range of environments without running into broken or deflated wheels.

Features

This model reaches a maximum speed of 52 mph and has dual 1800W motors capable of producing excellent drive. It can travel a maximum distance of 62 miles in between charges and uses a 60V 35AH battery. There’s also a cheaper version available with a 25AH battery. Charging can take between 8 and 12 hours using the basic one included with the scooter upon purchase.

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

Unlike a couple of other well-known products, the NanRobot LS7 stands out for having extra room for the feet, hydraulic suspension, a kickstand, and some of the best tyres in the industry.

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

Summary

Let’s cut to the mustard; the Bronco 11 Xtreme is one of the fastest production scooters on the planet. That’s because Bronco Motors took a Dualtron Thunder style of frame, kept it light, and jammed two powerful 4kw motors in with a 100amp PURE SINEWAVE controller. What they have made is an absolute beast of a scooter.

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

It’s an agile, fast scooter that’s robust, fun to ride and stands out from ALL other scooter models. Whilst at a glance, it might not look special from a distance – trust us, the 11 Xtreme is one of the best scooters out there.

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

Summary

The Kaabo Wolf King electric scooter is powerful and fast, and well-rounded. This scooter can easily replace your car with an excellent build, astonishing fast top speed, and impressive ride quality.

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.

Pros

  • Tough, beefy build
  • Great off-road terrain capability
  • Fantastic top speed
  • Incredibly smooth and stable at high speeds
  • Well-rounded with zero stem wobble
  • Ergonomic design with a solid frame
  • Impressive hydraulic suspension
  • Strong and efficient hydraulic braking system
  • Great range
  • Extensive 1-year warranty, with an option to extend.

Cons

  • Quite bulky and not very portable
  • It doesn’t fold easily due to the complicated folding mechanism
  • No riding mode indicators

Summary

Termed as the biggest and baddest electric scooter in the market, the Dualtron X2 lives up to its tagline. The scooter is mighty, fast, and has impressive features to complement its overall performance. The scooter has been reviewed as a hybrid between racing motorcycles and small foldable electric scooters. It essentially offers the best of both worlds, i.e. the convenience and flexibility of electric scooters and the comfort, performance and security of bigger bikes.

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.

Pros

  • High top speed and range
  • Excellent suspension system
  • Efficient braking system
  • Ultra-wide 13-inch tubeless tyres for maximum riding comfort
  • Front and rear LED lights for maximum visibility at night
  • 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

Summary

Apollo has already built a reputation for itself around producing superbly built scooters that keep shaking the scooter market, a legacy that began in 2018. They focus on making high-quality electric scooters that are aesthetically pleasing and built to last. Their flagship model, the Apollo Pro, is not your ordinary scooter. The scooter was the brainchild of two Canadian scooter geeks whose sole aim was to revolutionise urban scooting and build a scooter that met the high North American standards. It is a top-of-the-line adult electric scooter with impeccable and unmatched performance, dwarfing its compatriots in the same price range.

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

The Apollo Pro electric scooter is powered by dual 1000W rear and front hub brushless motors that produce a combined output of 2000W to offer unprecedented power and acceleration. The dual-motor produces a combined instantaneous power of 2400W peak output, which is ideal for rides on turbo mode and easy tackling of inclines of up to 40 degrees. The immense torque generated by the twin motors on the Apollo Pro can tackle slopes of 10% in 7.5 seconds on gear 2 of the riding modes.

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.

Final thoughts

Whether you are city riding or off-road riding, there are various options available for you. Portable electric scooters have become more advanced to meet the needs of consumers.

Affordable Electric scooters have become undeniably popular worldwide, providing a convenient and environmentally friendly means of commuting, especially in urban areas. When choosing the best, the fastest and the most powerful electric scooter, there are plenty of options to consider based on your budget and precise riding needs.

With a quick and powerful electric motor, you not only experience the thrill of riding at high speeds but also get to experience a smooth ride and enhanced ride quality, good hill climbing and off-road capabilities, excellent braking and additional functionalities to complement your scooter experience.

You can pick any fast electric scooter as the pack leader in terms of performance? We firmly believe that a one-shoe-fits-all answer does not exist. User needs, preferences, and budget allowance will always undoubtedly influence your top pick with all said and done.
