I’m going to start right off the bat and say that if you’re going to ride a high speed electric scooter like this, please take safety seriously.

This is of course not an electric scooter for the faint of heart. Fast and powerful scooters are powerful tools for commuters and thrill-seekers, but you’ve got to have some serious passion for power – or perhaps a few screws loose – to step on the tall deck of this bad boy. For me, it might be a bit of both.

While this is a fast scooter, you can ride it at whatever speed you like. And that massive battery can either provide super high power or just keep you riding for dozens and dozens of miles longer without needing a charge.

The scooter I tested came with street tires, which was great considering I mostly ride streets. But of course, I did a bit of off-road testing as well to see what it could do.

The tall ground clearance and hydraulic suspension make it great for bumpy paths, and the powerful lights actually light up the ground in front of you instead of just being little dots of lights to tell cars that you exist.
