This just happens to be completely adjustable, too – meaning you can tighten or loosen each spring to reflect the particulars of whatever surface you’re taking on. The Twin’s front and rear suspension, like that of the VSETT 9+, harnesses the tried and tested spring and swingarm double act. While the Twin can handle well-kept off-road tracks – dry, well-paved urban environments suit it best. Its telescopic stem lets you easily customize the height of its handlebars, while its large deck, wide handlebars, and spacious frame make it an ideal companion for both street and off-road riding. Plus, the Twin’s design isn’t just durable, but intelligent. An IP54 water-resistance rating offers protection from the ingress of splashes and precipitation, while a pair of diligent tire huggers keep you (and your clothes) dry. Made of a hardened aluminum alloy, the frame has also been fortified against the elements. With this in mind, the Twin’s current-hungry, power-packed dual motors mean it punches well above its weight. If this doesn’t scream value for money, we don’t know what does. For instance, the Twin is equipped with 2.4 times more motor power than the latter. However, while both scooters share a near-identical price, the SPLACH delivers head and shoulders above the Unagi. And, just two of these models slip under the $1,000 mark – the Unagi Model One and SPLACH Twin. Of our 140+ strong database of electric scooters, just 32% (that’s 45 models, to be exact) boast dual motors.

Plus, let’s not forget that dual-motor scooters of this price are rare – particularly on a model flaunting a price tag as alluring and affordable as the Twin’s. This combination is also responsible for the Twin’s 28 mph top speed – sure to impress your friends and leave whatever commuter scooter you’re using now firmly in the dust. These give the Twin a blistering acceleration rate, and a level of hill-climbing prowess that rivals some of the electric scooter industry’s top models. We’re starting, unsurprisingly, with its dual 48V 600W motors. Watt-Hours (Wh): Affects battery capacity (i.e. Peak Power: Measured in Watts and refers to the maximum power that a motor can generate for short periods before overheating. Higher Nominal Power = Higher continuous speed. Nominal Power: Measured in Watts and refers to the power that a motor can continuously produce without incurring damage. Watts (W): Affects the size of the motors and their power output.

Voltage, Watts, Nominal, Peak Power, and Watt-Hours…What Do They All Mean?īefore we dive into our list of the electric scooter industry’s top dual-motor models, let’s unpack what these different units of measurement mean for an electric scooter’s power capacity. There were a lot of models to choose from – so, to pick the best dual-motor scooters, we paid special attention to the size and power of each scooter’s motors – including their Voltage (V), Watts (W), Nominal and Peak Power – as well as their battery capacity (Wh). To make it easy to find the perfect model, we categorized them by performance and price. After several months of testing, we’ve selected the 7 best dual-motor electric scooters from a field of 45 models.
