9 Long Range Electric Scooters Under $1000

Minimotors Dualtron Togo Plus, on sale now for $499

A long range electric scooter can take you places you’ve never been and eliminate that nagging range anxiety, but the longest range electric scooters in the world cost several thousand dollars. You can, however, find premium long range electric scooters for under $1K if you know where to look.

Why get a longer range electric scooter? Well, longer battery life means less recharging. This is beneficial for a couple of reasons. First, of course, more range gives you peace of mind on every ride since you don’t have to worry about plugging back in every time you leave the house.

Secondly, the more charge cycles a lithium-ion battery endures, the more its cells begin to degrade until it holds less charge and finally dies, so less recharging also means a longer-lasting, healthier battery overall. This makes buying a scooter with more battery capacity a very practical decision.

Manufacturer range numbers are often estimates based on ideal riding conditions and the lowest speed settings.

Our range numbers come from real-world testing, every time, and we test scooters the way people ride them, at the highest speed settings, in stop-and-go traffic, and over lots of hills.

Below, you’ll find 9 ESG-tested electric scooters with longer ranges, as well as other qualities we feel make them worth the buy, like high reliability and great performance for the price. We’ve tested each scooter the same way each time. Your numbers will vary depending on your weight, the way you ride, and the terrain, elevation, average wind speed, etc. where you live.


Here at Electric Scooter Guide, we’ve been riding, testing, and reviewing electric scooters the same way since 2018. We work with the best brands in the industry to help them improve their products, and we share our data and expert observations to help you make the most informed decisions.



teewing gt 3

Single-Motor Monster

Teewing GT4 | $949

The Teewing GT4 is an unbelievably fast and powerful electric scooter that accelerates like a dual motor scooter but isn’t as heavy since it only has one, exceptionally powerful, 1500W rear-mounted motor.

The GT4 also has a 1200Wh battery for up to 34.5 tested miles of range. Combine these specs with an over 40 mph top speed, hydraulic suspension, disc brakes, and a touch screen display and you get a serious long-range performance ride for less.

Beast Mode Commuter

VMAX VX2 Pro GT | $899

VMAX builds such efficient electric scooters that they’ve earned a place on nearly every one of our Best Of lists lately. They also make affordable models that deliver maximum value and reliability. That’s especially true of the GT versions, the biggest battery size.

The VX2 Pro won’t be around much longer – VMAX’s 2025 models are on the way. But while you can grab one on sale, you can get nearly 30 miles of real world range from a scooter with top reliability.

Extreme Climber

VMAX VX2 Extreme GT | $1099

It’s a little over $1000 (unless you use our coupon), but it’s worth it. The VMAX VX2 Extreme GT, as the name suggest, cranks up the VX2’s action for maximum acceleration and hill-climbing ability.

The VX2 Extreme’s incredibly powerful motor delivers a little less range for higher speeds and unbelievable low-end torque. Not for absolute beginners.

Premium Power on a Budget

Teewing GT2 | $649

Teewing again tops the list here with the GT2 (not the be confused with the Segway GT2), a smaller version of the long-range GT4 with all the same features except a smaller motor and battery.

The Teewing GT2 deserves all the praise its bigger brother gets: this is a scooter with premium specs for a budget price, with range, speed (almost 30 mph) and power to spare.

EMOVE Touring | $829

The EMOVE Touring from Voro Motors is one of our all-time favorite scooters for its compact size, speed, durable build (it’ll probably outlast your car) for the price. And yes, it will fit in your trunk.

One of the top selling electric scooters on the market for good reason, the Touring has withstood the gnarliest of real world tests, delivering fun, fast, trouble-free commutes for years.

Off-Road Range

Segway Ninebot ZT3 Pro | $999

Segway’s first off-road scooter has hybrid tires, dual spring suspension, and some serious power for a single motor scooter.

In terms of off-road performance, the ZT3 Pro held its own against a $3,000+ competitor. On the road it’s just as versatile and fun to ride.

Summing Up

Long range is a relative concept, especially when it comes to electric scooters which can range (sorry) anywhere under $500 to over $5,000, under 10 miles per charge charge to over 80 miles. That’s a lot of variation, but when it comes to long range scooters under $1000, the scooters above are the best you can get.

We ride and test every scooter we recommend, and our reviews have helped millions find their perfect ride since 2018. If you still can’t find what you need, check out our extensive database and keep checking back for new and updated reviews each week.
