The 9 Fastest Electric Scooters in 2024

The Slack Core 920R is the fastest electric scooter in the world and it is not even close. With a u003cstrongu003etested top speed of 90.1 MPHu003c/strongu003e and 33,600 W of raw motor power, this hyperbeast is in a league of its own.rnrnu003cstrongu003eRetailing around $8,000u003c/strongu003e and produced in limited batches, it’s not easy to get your hands on. It leans more towards the u0022boutiqueu0022 category compared to production models.rnrnThe Slack Core 920R doesn’t just have the highest top speed we’ve tested; it also u003cstrongu003etops the charts in accelerationu003c/strongu003e. Despite taming dozens of ultra-performance scooters, going full throttle on the 920R was next-level scary and fun.rnrnThe u003cstrongu003eride quality is incredibly smoothu003c/strongu003e. Stability is excellent at high speeds, and the tires feel great on the road despite having limited tread.rnrnWhat really blew me away is how Slack was able to pack so much power into a 105.8-pound scooter. u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eIt is by far u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ethe best on this list in terms of speed to weight ratiou003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e.u003c/spanu003ernrnThe 2,592 Wh battery might seem small for its price, and yes, it drains fast if you’re pushing the motors hard. But let’s be clear: this scooter is more about hitting extreme speeds than long-range cruising.rnrnThere’s nothing quite like the Slack Core 920R for dare-devils and speed enthusiasts.

The Emove Roadster fills the gap between the 920R and the rest with a u003cstrongu003etested top speed of 73.5 MPHu003c/strongu003e supported by a whopping 15,456 W of peak motor power.rnrnu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eIts u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eacceleration is the 2nd best on the listu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e, not far off the Slack.

The carbon fiber stem combined with stainless steel and aluminum keeps the scooter sturdy and relatively lightweight at 103 lbs.rnrnThe main downside to the Nami Burn-E 2 Max is that there’s no folding latch to hook to the rear of the deck.

While it’s not as impressive as the competition, the Storm offers the u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e2nd best $/MPH and $/Wh on this listu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e, closely behind the GT Pro.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eSo, how does the Storm feel to ride? Overall, it’s u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ereally comfortableu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e. The self-healing tires combined with adjustable suspension make for A+ vibration dampening, and the detachable battery is a clear winner for portability and practicality.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eThe Storm isn’t without its quirks, though. First, I found the u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ehandlebar height too shortu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e for my liking as a 5’11u0022 rider. I can only imagine how it could compromise stability for tall riders, who would have to arch their back. Also, u003c/spanu003eu003cstrongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ethe throttle isn’t the smoothestu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e. There’s no significant input lag, but the acceleration curve feels abrupt and requires some getting used to.u003c/spanu003e
