Dualtron X
Specs
Motor Wattage: 3360W
Top speed: 60 mph
Range (distance): 85miles
Weight: 150lbs
Charge time: 24 hours with standard charger or 8 hours quick charger
The Dualtron X is the latest addition to Minimotors Dualtron collection. It features the innovations of the previous designs and fits them into a sturdy design which feels more moped than scooter. This isn’t just a cosmetic feature as the Dualtron X has the weight and power of a moped and is not a scooter you would want to carry up to your 6th floor apartment. This scooter is one of the fastest available on the market and has a top speed which would rival many people’s first cars.
The ground-breaking build of this scooter is backed up with reliable parts which are designed specially to handle the power of this beast. The brakes are smooth and work with the bulky 5 inch wide tyres to keep this scooter stable at high speeds and allow for safe and even braking. In your hands you will find a handlebar equipped with an LCD display and throttle which come with a fingerprint lock to keep your scooter safe from strangers and overzealous friends alike. The handlebar accessories of this model further push the feeling of riding something more powerful than a scooter and allow for easy signalling and provides powerful lighting for use in low light.
Stability is core to the Dualtron X and the possibility of adding a seat makes this the perfect scooter for cruising. The heavy set build and wide tires ensure that your ride will be effortless and uneventful even if you managed to get her up to the manufacturer’s top speed of 60mph.

Dualtron Thunder
Specs
Engine Wattage: 5400W
Top speed: 49 mph
Range (distance): 75 miles
Weight: 95lbs
Charge time: 20 hours with standard charger, 5.3 hours with quick charger
The Dualtron Thunder is one of the most impressive and powerful electric sport scooter on the market. Its engine size of 5400W and a top speed of a massive 49mph makes it one of the most exciting models to date. This top speed has featured in our top ten fastest electric scooters list before and pulls in with a podium finish. This scooter is perfect for adventure loving riders who want to travel in comfort and stability. It features hydraulic brakes with an ABS system which, alongside the dual piston caliper system, allows riders to have a surprising amount of control. Its weight, while hefty, gives it a more stable ride than a regular scooter.
In comparison to its predecessor – the Ultra, the Thunder has more effective water protection due to the additional rubber seal to protect the cable as well as the fact that each bolt in the scooter comes with thread sealant.
The scooter comes with a remote control colour LED light on its bar giving it a futuristic look. The Dualtron Thunder comes fully assembled meaning that, once charged, this scooter is ready to go straight out of the box. The ability to fold the scooter to reduce both height and width means that this scooter can easily be stored making it perfect for anyone with restricted storage space.
Overall, the Dualtron Thunder is impressive with its only downfall being its heavy weight which unfortunately makes it a challenge to haul around when not in use.

Dualtron Ultra V2
Specs
Engine Wattage: 5400W
Top speed: 49 mph
Range (distance): 74 miles
Weight: 81lbs
Charge time: 17 hours with standard charger, 5 hours with quick charger
With a combined motor power of 5400W the Dualtron Ultra is one of the most powerful scooters on the market. The acceleration on this scooter is incredible considering its size and feels like it’s built for racing. The handling on the Dualtron Ultra is exceptional as its not insubstantial weight gives it stability. We reckon that this scooter is essentially a mini-motorcycle because of the size and power of this machine.
The dual suspension makes this scooter incredibly smooth to ride. Along with its cruise control setting, this scooter makes for a tranquil ride which is perfect for a longer commute. The Dualtron Ultra’s instrument panel gives riders the choice to ride in single or dual mode allowing you to choose the power of the motor for each ride. This feature is perfect for anyone who wants a commuter scooter on a weekday and an adventure scooter at the weekend. The option to add a seat (for an extra cost) makes the Dualtron Ultra V2 perfect for travelling long distances at fast speeds.
The build on the Dualtron Ultra is terrific with the scooter being able to handle any rider up to 330 lbs. This scooter can be folded making it easy to store it in a small apartment as well as transport it in a car. However, due to the size of the machine, it would be very difficult to carry around unaided therefore meaning that potentially a moped or small motorbike might be a better alternative for the price of $3,399.00.

Dualtron III
Specs
Engine Wattage: 1600W
Top speed: 40 mph
Range (distance): 74 miles
Weight: 81 lbs
Charge time: 16 hours with standard charger, 5 hours with quick charger
The Dualtron III’s high speeds and suitability for on-road use make it a perfect scooter city based riders. It’s an excellent scooter if you are looking for a speedy and durable ride with a long range capability. However, unfortunately this scooter does suffer from not being particularly portable due to its substantial weight. It’s great for day to day use as it can allow you to swiftly transport yourself around the town and won’t always need a recharge due to its 74 mile range.
Whilst being a great scooter for daily transportation it can also serve as a brilliant scooter for adventurous riding. Its price reflects that this is not a basic scooter which will just get you to work every day, but is host to cutting edge technology designed to ensure that every ride produces maximum thrills.
It features 2 motors with a combined power of 1600W meaning it is one of the most powerful folding scooters on the market. Its top speed of 40mph and acceleration is so incredible it is easy to forget how heavy the Dualtron III is.
The Dualtron III has additional features such as its multi-functional LCD dashboard which you can use to check its battery status and charge, speed, voltage and the time. Also it controls the headlights, taillights and brake lights therefore making it a really high quality addition to the scooter.

Dualtron Spider
Specs
Engine Wattage: 1600W
Top speed: 37 mph
Range (distance): 40 miles
Weight: 44lbs
Charge time: 8.7 hours with standard charger, 2.6 hours quick charger
The Dualtron Spider truly provides the best of both worlds for riders looking for a scooter which is made for adventurous rides whilst being able to easily carry it up a flight of stairs. Even with its body weighing a total of 44lbs (almost half the weight of other scooters in the Dualtron range), the speed, acceleration, stability and range are still all of an exceptional level.
With two 800W motors the Dualtron Spider is able to reach speeds up to 37mph which makes this model extremely agile and fun to ride. This scooter has mechanical disk brakes at the front and rear as well as the ABS anti-locking system. The scooter has an exceptional stopping power in spite of the fact that the brakes are not electric.
Arguably the most remarkable feature of this scooter is the suspension. The Dualtron Spider has the same state of the art adjustable rubber suspension as others in the range which is potentially the best in the market. Its 10 inch air filled tyres give the scooter extra cushioning, however they are less thick than other scooters in the Dualtron range.
Reviews for this scooter are excellent due to its lighter build with an impressive performance level for a lot lower price than some scooters in the Dualtron range (such as the Dualtron Thunder). Overall this is the all-rounder of the Dualtron range which aims at being a viable option no matter your priorities.

Dualtron Man EX+
Specs
Engine Wattage: 2700W
Top speed: 40 mph
Range (distance): 70 miles
Weight: 70lbs
Charge time: 16 hours with standard charger
The Dualtron Man EX+ is a very different scooter to others in the Dualtron range with its innovative design. Its predecessor the Dualtron Man was the first electric hubless scooter in the world and truly alters our perception of what an electric scooter can be. The scooter has a handle free design with the hand controller attached via a wire to control the speed of the scooter. Therefore, the Dualtron Man EX+ is most suitable for use on a metaled track as some users have reported feeling less stable without a handlebar.
This design makes this scooter perfect for storing in small apartments or in small offices and would also be great to take on public transport as its lack of handle bars means that this scooter would not take up too much space and avoids the complications of having to have the handlebars be folded down between use. This scooter has a multi-functional LCD Display and Mode Select Button, which makes control easier and prevents head scratching when learning to use this intriguing beast.
The Dualtron Man EX+ has a dual safety brake system making it a secure, enjoyable ride with smooth, jitter free deceleration. The power behind this scooter is very respectable considering its compact size. However, if you are looking for a more powerful scooter than the Dualtron Thunder and Dualtron Ultra V2 is probably most suitable for you.

Final Thoughts
All told we find these scooters a really exciting prospect, and we are so glad to be able to share them with you. These scooters are pushing the limit of what can be called a scooter and what is effectively a moped or motorbike. This power and the speed it makes possible does not come cheap, and we can’t be sure that you won’t find a moped or motorbike which could be better for this price. That said there are advantages to the Dualtron series which you won’t find on a moped. For example several of these models are foldable and can be stored or transported much more easily than their moped equivalents. They also don’t require any kind of licence and can be ridden basically straight out of the box.
So who would we recommend the Dualtron series to? We reckon that these high powered scooters are perfect for anyone who has a commute which a conventional electric scooter wouldn’t be able to handle. The power and range of these models sets them apart from their competitors and creates a viable travel option for scooter lowing commuters. Conversely if you are looking for an adventure scooter with more power than you’ll ever be able to use these are the products for you.
