GSPACE Mars Eco Review: 7 Powerful Features That Redefine Single-Motor Scooters
If you’re looking for a scooter that feels like a dual motor but technically isn’t, meet the GSPACE Mars Eco—a single-motor scooter that punches way above its class. As someone who’s tested over 200 electric scooters across every price and power tier, I can confidently say: this thing is a wild card.
It may look like it’s sneaking into the dual-motor club with a fake ID, but it’s not faking anything where it counts. With a 72V 26Ah battery, a full-size frame, serious suspension, and a curb weight tipping the scales at 115 lbs, it has the presence of a heavy-duty commuter or even a sport-level scooter. Yet, it rocks just one rear 2000W motor. So yeah—when I first heard that, I was like, “Wait… what?”
But after actually riding the Mars Eco, I stopped caring that it only had one motor. Because here’s the truth: it rides like a beast.

Top Speed: Record-Breaking for a Single Motor
GSPACE claims this thing can hit 50 mph. In our back-to-back tests, we clocked a verified top speed of 45.3 mph, making it the fastest single-motor scooter we’ve ever tested at Electric Scooter Guide. For comparison, that’s dual-motor territory.
Acceleration Breakdown:
- 0 to 15 mph: 2.42 seconds
- Top speed: 45.3 mph
- Hill climb (36ft, 10% grade): 7.97 seconds
- 330 ft sprint: 10.92 seconds
It doesn’t launch like a drag racer, but it delivers linear power that keeps climbing—perfect for urban riding, hill climbing, and surprisingly smooth highway runs.

Suspension & Stability: Comfort Over Chaos
With multi-link rear suspension and plush 11×3” hybrid tires, the Mars Eco absolutely devours potholes, cracks, and uneven pavement. The suspension feels lifted straight from more expensive dual-motor models—and in practice, it’s buttery smooth.
Add that 115-pound curb weight into the mix, and you’ve got a scooter that plants itself to the road—even when braking or cornering hard.
Braking Power: Dual Nutt Hydraulics That Mean Business
The dual Nutt hydraulic brakes stop the Mars Eco from 15 mph to 0 in just 2.8 seconds. That’s elite-level braking. Combined with the scooter’s weight and suspension, it makes emergency stops feel controlled and safe.
Battery & Range
- Battery: 72V 26Ah lithium
- Charger: 84V 6A (included)
- Charge time: ~4.5 hours
- Tested range: 25.85 miles in highest mode, 235 lb rider
Now, if you’re lighter or use lower modes, you’ll definitely stretch that range out. But for a scooter this powerful and heavy, mid-20s in real-world miles is impressive.

Safety Features: Way Above Average
This scooter is loaded with safety tech:
- BMS (Battery Management System)
- Dual fuses
- Thermal silicone pads
- Integrated micro fire extinguisher
- Smart heat release valves
I’ve seen a lot of “premium” scooters that don’t even come close to this level of fail-safes.
Cockpit & Controls
The TFT display is bright, full-color, and loaded with info: speed, time, battery voltage, trip data—you name it. The vertical thumb throttle is easily one of the smoothest I’ve used. And it supports menu-based tuning for:
- Top speed (unlock 100%)
- Launch strength
- Brake settings
- Start modes
You’ll want to go into the settings when you first unbox it to unlock the full power. Just press and hold the M button for 5 seconds to dive in.
Bonus: NFC Key (With a Caveat)
It’s got a nifty NFC key lock, but fair warning—if the key accidentally touches the reader while riding, it can shut off. Ask me how I found out.
Ergonomics & Ride Feel
One small gripe: the handlebar height is low for taller riders (I’m 6’1” and had to lean down slightly). But GSPACE Mars Eco offers handlebar extensions, which help solve this issue easily.
Otherwise, the deck is spacious, the stem is dual-fork and beefy, and the whole ride experience is just… dialed in. It’s one of the most comfortable and confidence-inspiring scooters I’ve ridden in years.

Final Thoughts: Should You Buy the GSPACE Mars Eco?
Let’s get real: at a retail price of $2,350 (with pre-order discounts available), you could get a dual-motor scooter. That’s the elephant in the room.
But here’s what separates the Mars Eco:
It doesn’t need the second motor.
It gives you 90% of the performance, better range efficiency, and less complexity to maintain—while delivering a premium, stable ride that feels like it belongs in a whole other class.
If you’re the kind of rider who blasts around in single motor mode 90% of the time anyway (like I do), you’ll love this scooter. It doesn’t try to be a drag racer. It just nails comfort, control, and confidence.
And honestly? I’m good with that.
Pros:
- Fastest single motor scooter tested (45.3 mph)
- Plush suspension and big tires = amazing comfort
- Excellent hill climbing
- Dual hydraulic brakes = powerful and safe
- Loaded with real safety features
- Large deck, quality build
Cons:
- Heavy (115 lbs)
- Handlebar too low for taller riders
- Priced near dual-motor competitors
If you’re after a premium single motor scooter that performs like a dual—without the twitchy throttle or jerky power delivery—the GSPACE Mars Eco might be your perfect match.
