Best 70 mph electric scooters

If you share my passion for fast electric scooters, then you absolutely need to try riding a 70 mph electric scooter. The electric scooters on this list are those that have proved to reach the 70 mph top speed. 

Let’s dive into some of the best 70 mph electric scooters that are guaranteed to give you a thrilling riding experience.

Best 70 mph electric scooters

These are all the 70 mph electric scooters I’m going to cover in this post and their prices:

Weped SST

Known as Weped’s “King of Speed,” Weped SST is a hand-made beast of an electric scooter with a top speed of 75 mph. It’s priced at $7899 (without the shipping fee, which can range between $100-$500 depending on the country you’re ordering from).

The best thing about the electric scooter is that even at top speed, it doesn’t shake or wobble. So you can enjoy a smooth ride without the fear of falling. 

The scooter has a large 3240 Wh battery, but it charges in only 3 hours using an 11 A charger.

The design of the escooter is top-notch and sleek, with a curved stem and wide tires to add a sporty appeal. To make sure the extreme speed doesn’t mess with the braking experience, the electric scooter is equipped with advanced Magura hydraulic brakes and a regenerative braking system to bring the vehicle to an immediate halt.

Also, since the Weped SST is handmade and takes a lot of time to build, there aren’t many units available to purchase upfront. Instead, you’ll have to place an order and then wait up to 3 months for your order to complete.

Who should get the Weped SST?

If you’re a high roller and a fast electric scooter enthusiast, the Weped SST may be your dream ride. The electric scooter’s powerful 30000 W motor is unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Consider this scooter if you’re after one of the most iconic scooters of our time.

Dualtron X2

The Dualtron X2 is a premium racing electric scooter with a range of 93 miles, making it one of the longest range scooters right now. 

The build quality of the electric scooter is top-notch, with a big stem, wide deck, and 13-inch knobby tires. In addition, the electric scooter has some of the biggest suspension springs I’ve seen and a big, hefty kickstand as well.

In short, you can count on the Dualtron X2 for your safety and its ability to resist any kind of damage. Its durability is as good as it gets.

Who should get the Dualtron X2?

If you want an all-rounder, futuristic electric scooter that’s fast but doesn’t compromise on comfort, the Dualtron X2 is for you. Its beefy, hefty structure screams power and may initially seem intimidating, but it just adds to the reliability of the electric scooter.

What I really love about the Dualtron X2 is its steering damper, a new feature you won’t find in the previous Dualtron models. It makes sure the steering remains smooth even at top speed by slowing down any sudden movements. You get unmatched stability and control.

Rion Thrust

The Rion Thrust electric scooter was released in 2021 and immediately caught the attention of electric scooter enthusiasts because of its absurd price.

Besides being one of the fastest electric scooters in the world, it’s also among the most expensive electric scooters as well. Priced at $10,000, the electric scooter is said to have a top speed of 80 mph and can cover 50 miles on a single charge.

The electric scooter is foldable for convenience and has a carbon frame. It’s equipped with an LED display to show information regarding your journey and can be operated through your phone by downloading and connecting to a dedicated app.

Who should get the Rion Thrust?

The Rion Thrust is for those electric scooter enthusiasts that wouldn’t mind spending high prices for an electric scooter and crave an exhilarating riding experience. The escooter’s high speed and acceleration also make it a good choice for racing enthusiasts.

Who should not get the Rion Thrust?

Honestly, I wouldn’t spend $10,000 on an electric scooter when I can get high performance and speed from electric scooters at a much lower price. Also, the wait time for the electric scooter is a whole year, so you might just lose all excitement by the time it arrives.

Hunter Quad 2×2 

The Hunter Quad is the second most expensive electric scooter in my list of the best 70 mph electric scooters. The “Quad” in the name comes from the fact that this electric scooter is equipped with four controllers, four motors, four brake sets, and four suspensions.

You get 14000 watts of insane power that can get you 70 -120 miles on a single charge and a top speed of over 70 mph.

The 13-inch tubeless tires make the electric scooter perfect for tough off-road terrains, and the 35-degree climb angle will make steep hills feel like a breeze.

Who should get the Hunter Quad 2×2?

If you’re a rider who enjoys pushing limits and want to experience the pinnacle of high performance from an electric scooter, the Hunter Quad 2×2 could be your next adventure. Despite its rugged build, the electric scooter is comfortable and easy to maneuver.

It can be used for various off-road activities, no matter how challenging the terrain. The electric scooter gives ample storage capacity, comfort, stability, control, and power. What else could you want in an electric scooter?

What to expect from a 70 mph electric scooter?

With a 70 mph electric scooter you’re guaranteed an exhilarating riding experience.

These scooters always come with powerful motors and a high-capacity battery. Fast speed also means the electric scooters will have advanced and hi-tech suspension systems to avoid accidents and to provide stability to the ride.

In addition to the premium performance of these electric scooters, you can also count on them to deliver in terms of astonishing design. 

If you’re used to medium-speed electric scooters of around 30-40 mph top speeds, a 70 mph electric scooter can feel like riding a rocket.

Are there scooters that are faster than these?

The electric scooter world is advancing day by day, with manufacturers trying to upgrade every parameter. That’s exactly what’s going on with the top speed of electric scooters.

A few years ago, 60 mph was considered a pretty high speed for an electric scooter.

However, as you saw, now you have electric scooters with over 70 mph top speeds. The highest speed I’ve seen an electric scooter be ridden at is 75 mph.

Are 70 mph electric scooters safe to ride?

Modern electric scooters, especially those as fast as 70 mph, usually pass through rigorous safety testing before being released to the market.

Usually, these scooters are equipped with advanced braking systems and wide tires with high traction.

However, calling these scooters safe would be absurd. They are definitely one of the most thrilling, but also one of the riskiest scooters to ride.

If you are riding these scooters, especially at speeds close to their top speeds, you should take as many safety precautions as you can:

• Wear suitable safety gear, e.g. helmet, kneepads and elbow pads etc., so you don’t hurt yourself in case of an accident or fall.
• Stay alert and in a defensive stance on your electric scooter. The best way for this is to stand with one foot ahead of the other on the deck. This way you can push yourself forward to steer but also move back easily when it’s time to brake.
• Avoid going against traffic laws and regulations. Adhere to speed limits and be careful of electric scooter-restricted areas, e.g. highways, private properties, etc.
• Inspect and maintain your electric scooter regularly. Sleeping on these checks could mean ignoring a fast-spreading problem like corrosion. Regular maintenance means you’ll be able to repair the damage before it starts affecting the electric scooter’s performance.
• Don’t ride recklessly, especially with a high-speed electric scooter. Plan a route without potholes and construction work. Also, avoid trying out new and dangerous stunts.
• Read your electric scooter’s user manual for more safety tips and ways to care for your electric scooter so that it stays in good shape.

Summary

A 70 mph electric scooter can be expensive, but if you can afford it, you’re in for an exhilarating and thrilling experience. All the electric scooters in this list are true beasts and will be a true thrill to ride.

Here’s a summary of them again for reference.
