In my experience with off-road electric scooters, they can be insanely fun, although, truth be told, they won’t be for everyone.
We’ve reviewed, tested, and examined some of the best off-road electric scooters in the world. In this guide, we will take a closer look at them, what makes each of them great and when each might be a good fit for you, but also what you need to know before buying an off-road scooter.
These are the best off-road electric scooters currently. Each of them has been examined, tested, and ranked for its off-road capabilities by our off-road ranking methodology.
Best off-road electric scooter overall – Kaabo Wolf King GTR
In my experience and according to our tests and rankings (explained further down in the guide), the Kaabo Wolf King GTR is currently the best off-road electric scooter in the world, and the rightful heir to the legendary Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11, which was the previous best off-road electric scooter.
Probably 9 out of 10 people buy this scooter for riding off-road. In fact, the scooter is so well known for riding on rough terrains, that in many scooterist circles it is now the go-to off-road model, even though it hasn’t really been around for that long. Even considering an alternative is equal to blasphemy.
Every part of the scooter is simply made for off-road rides – the powerful motors, the big durable tires, the amazing suspension, the strong build quality, great ingress resistance, literally everything!
To put it simply, if you’re looking for the best off-road scooter currently available, it will almost certainly be the Kaabo Wolf King GTR.

Fastest off-road electric scooter – Dualtron Ultra 2
When a Dualtron scooter is not the best in a category, we know that the competition is very tough.
While I personally believe that the Kaabo Wolf King Pro GT has proven to be the best off-road scooter, I know a lot of people who will strongly disagree with that finding, and most of them would probably nominate the Dualtron Ultra 2 as the best off-road scooter overall.
And it would be a very valid point, I agree. The Dualtron Ultra 2 is an excellent off-road scooter, no doubt about it.
If not the best, the Dualtron Ultra 2 is at least the fastest electric scooter for off-road.
The two brushless hub DC motors and a combined peak power output of 6640 Watts is probably the clearest advantage this scooter has over the rest of the scooters on this list. That translates into a large speed advantage, as the Ultra 2 is capable of 62 mph / 100 kmh top speeds, and also you can expect excellent torque and climbing angles of up to 25 degrees.
Dualtron is arguably the best high-end scooter brand that has ever existed. The overall quality, the finishing, and the attention to detail, are all spotless.
While the official IP rating of the Dualtron Ultra 2 is not specified, the first version had an IP54 standard, and I doubt that the improved version lacks that level of protection. The scooter weighs 88 lbs / 40 kg, and is heavy and reliable, as any good off-road scooter should be.
The Dualtron Ultra 2 specializes in off-road rides. It doesn’t even have the option for standard road tires. The off-road tires are 11 inches in diameter, quite wide as well to provide a good balance, and with very deep treads and patterns that will eat up any type of grass, dirt, dust, gravel, pebbles, liquids, and pretty much anything else that might stand in your way.
On top of that, you also get rubber suspension on both wheels, 160-mm front and rear disk brakes, and an electronic anti-locking braking system that will prevent the scooter from skidding.
If you do decide to go with the Ultra 2, you will definitely get one of the best off-road scooters of all time. If you wish to find out more about this scooter, check out my complete review of the Dualtron Ultra 2.

Best long-range off-road electric scooter – Nami Burn-E 2 Max
The Nami Burn-E 2 Max is simply a beast. The top-notch 72 Volts 35 Amp-hours battery from LG/Samsung/Panasonic cells will provide a range of 90 mi / 145 km in ideal conditions. That makes this scooter the longest-range scooter for off-road.
Another very important feature of a good off-road electric scooter is the good old raw motor power. And when it comes to motor power in off-road electric scooters, the Nami Burn-E 2 Max has tons of it.
The Nami Burn-E 2 Max comes with twin 50 Amps controllers, and two brushless DC hub motors, each with a real power output of 1500 Watts, and a peak power output of 4200 Watts, for a combined peak power level of 8400 Watts.
Let that sink in. 8400 Watts of power. That kind of power is pure insanity!
The scooter is listed with regular street tires by default, but it is certainly available with off-road tires as well, which will be much tougher and provide the much-needed traction for riding on rough terrains. Both tire types will come with a large diameter of 11 inches. The tires are tubeless, which means they will be much more resilient than inner-tube tires, and will be much less prone to flats and explosions.
The adjustable suspension system is made from fully hydraulic coil-shock suspenders. For riding off-road, you will probably want more suspension, and it’s fairly simple to set the suspension to your desired level. The scooter also has excellent fully-hydraulic 1600 mm disk brakes on top of that, also highly adjustable, making it one of the safest and the most customizable electric scooters ever made.
The scooter has been designed based on user feedback from the bottoms up, and every single detail in its build serves a well-defined purpose. The Nami Burn-E 2 Max is probably one of the best-made electric scooters in the world, and build quality will definitely be one of its strong suits, especially for those challenging off-road terrains.
When a scooter is based on the needs of real scooter lovers, designed by a team of dedicated experts, and made only from the highest-quality components, the result is an excellent premium scooter that has no flaws, neither in its engineering nor in its execution.
The scooter has an IP67 ingress protection standard, making it one of the best waterproofed electric scooters in the world. That further adds to the scooter’s reliability, and coupled with the stability that the 103 lbs / 47 kg of weight provides, this will be one of the toughest premium scooters ever made.

Best value off-road electric scooter – NanRobot D6+
While the Apollo Phantom is arguably the highest-quality mid-priced off-road electric scooter, the NanRobot D6+ matches it in price and other important off-road features, and outperforms it in some performance aspects, and that makes it a great alternative for anyone looking for a more affordable off-road electric scooter.
NanRobot is mostly known as a brand that provides great performance for not so expensive prices. While they don’t really have any budget scooters, most of their models usually outperform most of the other scooters in their respective price ranges.
That’s certainly the case for the NanRobot D6+.
Wth its dual 1000 Watt motors with a total output of 2000 Watts, and its treaded 10-inch tires, is the true off-road option.
The scooter performs great for its price, which is usually around $1600 – $1700. It has a top speed of 40 mph / 64 kmh, conquers hills well because of its dual drive, and has a range of up to 40 mi / 64 km.
Besides the off-road tires, the scooter has two C-type hydraulic spring shock absorbers on the front wheel, a large spring shock absorber on the rear wheel, and dual disk brakes, making it a complete off-road package.
Clearly, the NanRobot D6+ will not perform as well as the $4000 beasts, but it sure will surpass the performances expected from a scooter in its price range, and several owner tests and reports confirm that.
This scooter is not too heavy in weight, so it can be used for more regular rides as well, and given its long range, even commuting may be a great option.
There are a few things that would concern me personally if I were looking to buy this scooter.
For starters, the IP rating of this scooter is not well known. The good news here is that the D4+ and the D5+ models both had an IP53 rating, so it might make sense for this scooter to have that as well, just not that well advertised. However, it’s also possible that the scooter has no official IP rating.
Also, the warranty period for this scooter is just one week, which is an unusually short warranty period, especially for an off-road scooter.
NanRobot D6+ Specifications
- Top speed: 64 kmh 40 mph
- Range: 64 km 40 mi
- Motors: dual hub BLDC motors

Best budget off-road electric scooter – EverCross
Usually priced around $600 – $700, the EverCross is probably the cheapest electric scooter that can still perform well on demanding terrains.
The scooter has gained a lot of prominence because of its excellent value proposition. With a lot of raw power under the hood, it outperforms a lot of similarly priced scooters, and has become a darling of the scooter community in the last year. As with any value-first scooter, small quality issues here and there may be more frequent, but still, the EverCross is of solid quality and will come prepared to tame some inhospitable grounds.
The most important thing you need to know about riding the EverCross on rough terrain is that it’s a single-drive motor. While the rear-drive brushless DC hub motor has a pretty solid power output of 800 Watts, it’s still just one motor, and it will provide nowhere near the performance that dual-drive scooters can provide.
The top speed of 28 mph / 45 kmh will still be plenty for most riders, including off-road lovers. While the specs claim a climb angle of 45 degrees, that is almost certainly an overestimation, but there’s little doubt that the scooter climbs well.
When it comes to offroading, this scooter’s strongest weapon is its large air-filled tires. With 10 inches in diameter, the EverCross will provide a lot of cushioning and stabilization which will be much needed for riding off-road. They are not really off-road tires (despite the scooter’s listing claiming them to be so), but still, they’ve proven to perform well on all types of terrains.
Probably even better than the huge tires is the dual hydraulic suspension on both the front and the rear wheel. Practically no scooter at this price point has wheels this big and a hydraulic suspension on top of that, and that kind of package is what makes the EverCross arguably the best value off-road scooter.
Since the scooter doesn’t really go all-in on off-road features, it will be a much more balanced option in terms of portability, and a better match for many other day-to-day scenarios.
The battery doesn’t add too much bulk to the scooter, and with a weight of just 44 lbs / 20 kg, this will definitely be one of the lightest-weight electric scooters that can easily handle off-road rides.
The scooter comes with an IPX5 ingress protection rating, which, interestingly, is one of the best IP ratings in the world right now, and only a handful of scooters can boast such a high standard, including much more expensive scooters.
All in all, the EverCross is a very well-balanced scooter that provides a ton of bang for buck, while also being well-prepared for riding off-road. You will get a 12-month warranty on it, and you will likely get it for the usual price of $799, which clearly makes it one of the most cost-efficient off-road electric scooters ever.
You can take a more detailed look at this scooter in my full EverCross review.
