With an immense range, an eye-popping, commandeering look and feel, and the ability to add a 2-minute injection of speed-enhancing Turbo Boost to your drivetrain, the 11+ is a welcome, character-filled addition to the market. Originally intended to be the PRO line of the well-renowned Zero scooter range, a whole new generation of extreme performance scooters was born. As the top dog in this new generation, the 11+ deliver blistering performance for an affordable price. There are a couple of design quirks and it lacks portability, but it sits at the apex of high-performance scooter excellence. It’s fast, durable, and offers a range of unique features and specs that will have the mouths of scooter enthusiasts watering.

Rolling into the market as the best entry-level dual-motor scooter, it is without a doubt a fantastic choice for first-time riders looking for a model with a bite. It can hit 0-15 mph in just 3.2 seconds, making it around 60% faster than the average commuter scooter. Plus, with the chunkiness of its wheels, spring suspension system, and durable sturdy frame, it affords stability when riding at top speeds (26 mph). Whilst the wide tires take a little getting used to, once you become accustomed to their larger-than-average profile, their unique floating sensation delivers a level of ride quality that is perfectly suited for urban travel, whether that be short commutes or tearing up the backstreets.

Getting top features without the price tag to match isn’t the easiest feat when it comes to electric scooters, but the Hiboy MAX tries to do just that. A reasonably solid performer with a top speed of 18.6 mph, a range of 17 miles, 15% incline capability, and load-bearing capacity of 100 kg, the MAX promises a lot. With premium features like the front shock absorber and mobile app, the MAX looks great on paper. However, it’s not all that it cracks up to be. There are similarly priced scooters that put the MAX to shame.

It looks the same, goes as fast (18.6 mph), and has the same range (17 miles) as the Hiboy S2 – so what makes the S2R different? Well, that R stands for Removable battery. As the S2R’s only stand out feature, the removable battery not only makes the scooter more convenient to charge but adds a layer of versatility that the rest of the S2 range can’t match. Most notably, you can pick up an extra battery (+£105) to double up on the 17 mile range. However, when putting the S2R under scrutiny, it's clear to see that Hiboy has sacrificed features from the rest of the S2 range to accommodate the removable battery. You lose the option to add a seat, a champion feature of the S2 and S2 Pro, and the rear dual shock absorbers are also absent. Combined with the solid rubber tyres, ride quality is poor. If the S2R had air-filled tyres it would be a top contender as one of the best budget scooters but, unfortunately, it misses the mark.

What if you could take the power, speed, range of the Dualtron Thunder, shave off several hundred pounds – and several pounds off the weight – and then equip it with chunky, knobby tyres ideal for off-road riding? Well, you can, and it’s called the Dualtron Ultra. Retaining the pedigree and feel of the rest of MiniMotors’ extreme-performance scooter line, the Ultra keeps its ferocious demeanour alongside a durable aerospace-grade aluminium and steel frame. This one’s for scooter lovers, off-road enthusiasts, and thrill-seekers – but not for the faint-hearted. However, there’s no mistaking that there are better scooters for a fraction of the price.

A new reigning monarch of all scooters has been crowned. The Wolf King has taken the speed, power, and control of its predecessor, the Wolf Warrior 11, and turned the heat up to max. With an improved top speed of 60 mph, ferociously powerful dual motors that rival the peak output of the Dualtron X, and the killer gold aluminium finish on the frame and handlebars, the Wolf has returned bigger and better than ever before. The King truly deserves its crown - its value for money is unparalleled.

Looking to quench your thirst for fast-paced off-road adventures? Perhaps you might be tempted by what can only be described as a dirt bike in scooter form. Sitting at £2,599, the Wolf Warrior won’t be breaking the bank, but it will be tearing up the tracks in an elite riding experience comparable to the far pricier Dualtron Ultra. This isn’t the only resemblance this monstrous scooter bears to the Dualtron line, its controller and LED display are manufactured by none other than Dualtron producers, MiniMotors. With a host of premium features, including a superior motorcycle-grade hydraulic suspension system, big tubeless tyres, and dual 1200W motors that generate blisteringly fast acceleration, the Wolf Warrior certainly lives up to its ferocious name. It is well and truly the king of off-roading.

The Thunder sits firmly among the upper echelons of Dualtron’s premium electric scooters. Weighing far less than Dualtron X, but sporting almost all of the lightning-quick speed (sorry – couldn’t resist), the Thunder is a top contender in the extreme performance bracket. Like a bull ready to charge and a level of customization that is almost unparalleled, the Thunder is ready to tackle anything thrown its way. If this scooter was a weather pattern, it wouldn’t be thunder. It’d be a hurricane.

A cheap scooter with all the right features? The Hiboy S2 promises a lot, especially in its quest to compete with an already impressive list of budget scooters. With a top speed of 18.6 mph, range of 17 miles, weight of 13.4 kg, and an IP54 water-resistance rating, the S2 makes a good go of it. Features such as cruise control, an integrated mobile app, and digital lock push the S2 into the “premium” bracket when it comes to the feature-set of budget scooters. But, despite its attempt to differentiate itself from its competitors with dual rear shock absorbers, the solid tyres prevent smooth ride quality. The biggest asset of the S2, though, is the ability to add a seat whilst maintaining a budget price - the next best seated scooter costs over £1,000.

‘The flagship’, that’s where the S2 Pro sits in Hiboy’s S2 line, with a model evocative of the Xiaomi Mi 365, it does, at points, achieve that title. The key aspects differentiating the Pro from the rest of the S2 range are the battery life and 10 inch solid tyres which complement the rear dual shock absorbers. The battery allows for a max range of 25 miles and the 350W motor propels the S2 Pro to 19 mph when in ‘Sport’ mode. Combined with an IP54 resistance rating, cruise control, an integrated mobile app, and the option of attaching a seat, the S2 Pro promises a lot of extra features. However, at £355, there are scooters in the same price bracket that outperform the S2 Pro.

The Hiboy S2 Lite, with its three colour options and lightweight frame, makes it an alluring option for teenagers that need a scooter for the school run or simply a ride with their friends around the block. At just 9.5 kg, the S2 Lite suits the name perfectly as one of the lightest scooters. The combination of the easy-to-use LED display that monitors speed and battery level, atmospheric four-light setup, and impressive cruise control setting, allows the S2 Lite to boast some truly premium features. With a top speed of 13 mph and a range of 10.6 miles, could your teen really go wrong with the S2 Lite at £245?

Stylish, sturdy, and above all, safe. The GoTrax GKS is one of the best kid’s scooters on the market. Easy to assemble and a breeze to ride, the GKS is perfect for 6 to 8 year-olds – although, kids up to 12 years of age can enjoy it too. Parents, meanwhile, will have plenty of their own to enjoy – namely, the £139.90 price tag that just happens to make the GKS one of the cheapest scooters on the market.
