You should have at least one year of experience with scooters, and at least a few months of riding electric scooters with faster speeds (around 56-64 kmh / 35-40 mph) before you should dare reach speeds of 50 mph / 80 kmh.

What to expect from a 50 mph electric scooter?

If this is your first time looking, or even trying, a 50 mph electric scooter, you need to be aware of a few things.

As we already mentioned, safety must be your top priority. Riding at these speeds on an electric scooter must always be done with the utmost care and precaution.

If you want a fast, powerful, quality scooter that’s a bit less shocking and thrilling, you will probably want to look at the 40 mph scooters or even maybe the 30 mph scooters.

Aside from the dire warnings, you can expect to have tons of fun.

These are not your regular commuting or budget scooters. They take off immediately, and you will feel the kick at first.

They will also accelerate much faster, and usually will be much better at going uphill.

If you’ve had a cheap or even medium-priced electric scooter, this will be a whole new experience. At these speeds, manufacturers are aware that high-quality is a must, so they only release heavily tested, nearly perfect designs and models.

The difference will be huge.
