Best Electric Scooters: Segway-Ninebot, NIU, Apollo, Hiboy, Gotrax (2026)

We compare 22 electric kick scooters, from 27 lb commuters to 100 lb dual-motor models, from Segway-Ninebot, NIU, Apollo, Hiboy and Gotrax. Every figure comes from the maker's product page or support spec sheet. A figure the maker doesn't publish shows as "Not listed" and scores as the weakest published value in the category. We don't test scooters or use prices or reviews.

                                                        Buying guide: how to choose the right electric scooter

                                                        Rated watts vs peak watts

                                                        Segway, NIU, Hiboy and Gotrax publish rated figures (250–500 W for single-motor commuters). Apollo publishes only peak figures (1200–3500 W), which aren't comparable, so Apollo scores as the lowest rated figure here. Use battery watt-hours and top speed to compare Apollo models.

                                                        Weight vs range

                                                        Longer range usually means a heavier scooter. The NIU KQi Air (26.2 lb, 451.2 Wh) is the exception here thanks to its light frame. Dual-motor scooters like the Gotrax GX3, Hiboy Titan Pro and Apollo Phantom weigh 94–104 lb.

                                                        Rider weight limits

                                                        Most commuters here are rated for 220–265 lb. The Gotrax GX3 and Hiboy Titan Pro list 300 lb, and the Apollo Phantom 2.0 lists 330 lb.

                                                        Scooter rules vary by place (not legal advice)

                                                        Electric scooters fall under different rules by state and city. Some limit top speed (often 15–20 mph), some set a minimum age, some require a helmet for younger riders, and many ban riding on sidewalks. Rules for private scooters can also differ from rules for rental scooters. Several scooters here can be unlocked to faster speeds. That may not be legal on public roads where you live. Check your state and city rules before riding. This is general information, not legal advice.

                                                        Basic safety

                                                        Wear a helmet. Use the lights, and avoid riding at night without them. Brake earlier in the wet, because small tires have little grip. Charge with the maker's charger, and don't charge a scooter that's wet. Look for UL 2272 certification (electrical system of personal e-mobility devices) or UL 2271 (the battery) on the maker's page.

                                                        How this ranking is calculated

                                                        Score = weighted average of normalised specs, out of 10. Full method

                                                        Rated motor powerNominal (rated) motor output as the maker states it, combined for dual-motor scooters. Peak figures appear in the notes. Apollo publishes only peak figures, so its scooters score as the lowest rated figure. Anything above 1000 W scores the same as 1000 W. Scale: 250 → 1000 W.

                                                        Frequently asked questions

                                                        Why isn't Unagi here?

                                                        Unagi's site didn't return readable spec pages when we checked, so we left it out.

                                                        Where do the Segway figures come from?

                                                        From Segway's official support spec sheets (the same tables as the printed manuals). Segway's US store pages didn't load in a readable form.

                                                        Why do Apollo scooters rank low despite high speeds?

                                                        Apollo doesn't publish rated motor power, and the City 2.0 page doesn't list a max load. Missing figures score as the category's weakest published value.
