Best Long-Range Electric Scooters (2026)

Seven long-range electric scooters sold on Amazon US, chosen on October 30, 2026 from the eleven stand-up scooters we cover with a battery over 400 Wh, all in stock that day. We ranked them on range at full speed, not on advertised range. Where a scooter tops out at 24 mph or less in every setting, that is our estimate: battery watt-hours divided by 22 to 27 watt-hours per mile, for a 175 to 180 lb rider. Where it can go faster, our method does not apply at full speed, so we quote the maker's own fastest published figure and its conditions. Specs come from each maker's spec sheet or manual; where the Amazon listing differs, we say so and use the maker's figure. UL 2272 status is the claim as stated, and none could be confirmed in a certifier's directory. We searched CPSC recalls for every model in October 2026. We have not ridden these scooters.

The NIU KQi 300X is the best long-range electric scooter for most riders because it carries the biggest battery of our seven picks and pairs it with disc brakes at both ends. NIU's US store gives it a 48 V, 13 Ah battery (608.4 Wh), more than the Segway Max G2 (551 Wh) or Max G3 (597 Wh), and a 500 W rated motor with a 1,000 W peak. NIU claims 37.3 miles, measured with a 165 lb rider at a constant 9.3 mph on flat ground at 77°F; we estimate about 23 to 28 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider, the highest estimate of any pick. It has disc brakes at both ends plus regenerative braking, a hydraulic front fork with 45 mm of travel, 10.5-inch self-healing tubeless tires, IP55, a 25% climb rating, turn signals and a halo headlight. It carries 265 lb, is rated for riders 14 and up, and charges in about 6 hours. NIU's warranty covers the main body, battery and motor included, for 2 years.

Three cautions. Amazon sells it as the "NIU K300X" with a 23.6 mph title; that is NIU's global figure, and NIU's US store says 20 mph on the road. It weighs 48.7 lb and has no rear suspension. And the brake discs, levers, cables and throttle get only 6 months of warranty. A "(Renewed)" KQi 300X listed under the brand "Generic" is a refurbished unit from a reseller, and we do not link it. NIU states UL 2272; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory. No CPSC recall found for the NIU KQi 300X as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders up to 265 lb with a round trip of up to about 23 miles, hills or wet roads. Skip if you carry the scooter up stairs every day, or want suspension at both ends: the Max G2 has it. Read the KQi 300X review.

The Segway Ninebot Max G2 is the long-range pick for broken pavement, and Segway prints its range at top speed as well as its headline. Segway rates the motor at 450 W with a 1,000 W peak and the battery at 551 Wh (36 V, 15.3 Ah). Its 43-mile headline is for a 165 lb rider averaging 9.9 mph at 77°F; under the same conditions Segway gives 28 miles at the 20 mph it ships at and 25 miles at its 22 mph app setting. We estimate about 20 to 25 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider, so Segway's own fast figures land at and above the top of our band. The ride suits rough streets: 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires (Segway says they seal punctures up to 4 mm), a hydraulic damper up front and dual springs at the rear, IPX5, turn signals and a 22% climb rating. The charger is built in and takes about 5 hours (the listing says 6), so topping up at work needs only a cable.

The costs are weight and brakes. At 53.5 lb it is a two-handed lift, and it stops with a front drum and a rear electronic brake, with no disc; the KQi 300X and Max G3 have discs at both ends. The Amazon title's "1000W" is the peak, and its "22MPH" needs the app. Segway states its scooters are tested to UL 2272 by TÜV Rheinland; we could not verify it in a certifier's directory. Segway's March 2025 recall of about 220,000 Max G30P and G30LP scooters, over their folding mechanism, does not cover the Max G2 (CPSC notice); G30P and G30LP owners can find the remedy on Segway's recall page. No CPSC recall found for the Max G2 as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders up to 265 lb with a round trip of up to about 20 miles on patched or potholed streets, who park at ground level. Skip if you lift the scooter every day: the F3 is 11.2 lb lighter. Weighing it against the KQi 300X? See Segway Max G2 vs NIU KQi 300X. Read the Max G2 review.

The Segway Ninebot Max G3 has the highest rider limit on this page, 286 lb, and the best hardware of the adult Segways we cover: an 850 W rated motor (2,000 W peak), a 30% climb rating, disc brakes front and rear, hydraulic suspension at both ends, 11-inch self-sealing tubeless tires, and an IPX6 body with an IPX7 battery pack, per Segway's US spec page. Its battery is 597 Wh (46.8 V, 12.75 Ah). Segway rates range in each mode at that mode's top speed, with a 165 lb rider (give or take 11 lb) at about 77°F: about 50 miles in ECO (the headline, quoted at 10 mph), 40 in DRIVE, 34 in SPORT and 25 in SPORT+, its fastest mode. We give no estimate of our own, because an app unlock takes it to 28 mph, above the 24 mph limit of our method. Plan on Segway's 25 miles as the full-speed best case, and less for a heavier rider. It ships at 20 mph and weighs 54.2 lb.

Two things hold it back. Segway's US store marks the G3 end of life and sells the Max G3 Plus in its place, though Amazon still had the G3 in stock on October 30, 2026. And Segway markets a two-year warranty, yet its warranty document gives the battery, charger, stem, folding mechanism and brake parts one year. Charging takes about 3.5 hours on the built-in charger, measured on 220 V; Segway publishes no figure for US 120 V outlets, and the listing's 2.5 hours needs a second charger sold separately. Segway states its scooters are tested to UL 2272 by TÜV Rheinland; we could not verify it in a certifier's directory. The 2025 Max G30P and G30LP recall does not cover the G3. No CPSC recall found for the Segway Ninebot Max G3 as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders between 265 and 286 lb, or anyone with steep hills, who wants discs and hydraulic suspension at both ends. Skip if you want a model Segway still sells new, or if 28 mph is the draw: that unlock is above every state line we cite below. Read the Max G3 review.

The NIU KQi 300P is the KQi 300X with a smaller battery and motor, on the same frame with the same brakes and water rating. NIU rates it at 450 W (900 W peak) with a 486.7 Wh battery (46.8 V, 10.4 Ah, marketed as 48 V), and claims 30 miles under the same test as the 300X: a 165 lb rider at a constant 9.3 mph on flat ground at 77°F. We estimate about 18 to 22 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider. That estimate has an outside check: the review site ERideHero, with a 175 lb rider, recorded 17.8 miles at the 300P's fastest setting and 24.3 at its slowest. It keeps the 300X's disc brakes at both ends with regenerative braking, the 45 mm hydraulic front fork, 10.5-inch tubeless tires, IP55, turn signals and a 265 lb limit, at 45.97 lb, 2.7 lb lighter. It charges in about 5 hours, and NIU's warranty covers the main body, battery and motor included, for 2 years.

At our last check the 300P was $749 and the 300X $899. The cautions match the 300X's: no rear suspension, and the Amazon listing's "All-Terrain" and dirt-and-gravel claims contradict NIU's own manual, which limits it to flat pavement. It tops out at 20 mph in every NIU listing we found, so there is no faster version to unlock. NIU states UL 2272 on its US store and shows a UL mark in its manual, with no certificate number or lab named; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory. No CPSC recall found for the NIU KQi 300P as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders up to 265 lb with a round trip of up to about 18 miles who want discs at both ends and air tires. Skip if your round trip is longer: the 300X adds about 25% more battery on the same frame. See KQi 300P vs 300X. Read the KQi 300P review.

The Segway Ninebot F3 is the lightest pick with an estimated range of 18 miles or more, at 42.3 lb. Segway gives it a 450 W rated motor (1,000 W peak), a 477 Wh battery (46.8 V, 10.2 Ah) and a range for each mode: about 44 miles in E at 9 mph, 31 in D and 25 in S at the full 20 mph. We estimate about 18 to 22 miles at full speed for a 175 to 180 lb rider, a little under Segway's own S figure. It is built for wet commutes: IPX6 for the scooter and IPX7 for the battery pack, matched only by the Max G3 among the scooters we cover. It has a front disc brake with a rear electronic brake, a front hydraulic shock and a rear elastomer one, 10-inch self-sealing tubeless tires, a 20% climb rating, a 265 lb limit and turn-by-turn navigation on the display.

The trade is charging: about 8 hours, the longest of the Segways we cover, so it is an overnight charger. The Amazon listing also sells an optional external 460 Wh battery and claims 81 miles with it fitted; Segway's own F3 spec table does not print that figure. By the Amazon warranty text, the frame and main parts get 2 years, while the battery, charger, stem and folding mechanism, brake parts and lights get 1. Segway states its scooters are tested to UL 2272 by TÜV Rheinland; we could not verify it in a certifier's directory. The 2025 Max G30P and G30LP recall does not cover the F3. No CPSC recall found for the F3 as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders up to 265 lb with a round trip of up to about 18 miles who carry the scooter up a flight of stairs or ride in the rain. Skip if you cannot charge overnight. Read the F3 review.

The NAVEE ST3 has the same size battery as the Segway F3, 477 Wh, with brakes and suspension above its price; at our last check the ST3 was $499.99 and the F3 $849.99. NAVEE's US product page and manual give it a 500 W rated rear motor (1,000 W peak), polymer damping arms front and rear, a rear mechanical disc with a front drum and rear electronic braking, 10-inch tubeless air tires, IPX5, turn signals, a 24% climb rating and a 265 lb limit. NAVEE claims 37.3 miles, tested with a 165 lb load at a constant 9.3 mph (15 km/h) on flat ground at 77°F, and 22 miles at 20 mph. We give no full-speed estimate, because NAVEE lists a top speed of up to 24.9 mph, above the 24 mph limit of our method. At 20 mph we estimate about 18 to 22 miles for a 175 to 180 lb rider, in line with NAVEE's own 22 miles at that speed; flat out, expect less. The NAVEE listing family that sells it was #33 in Amazon's Electric Scooters on October 30, 2026.

The catches are speed, weight and paperwork. NAVEE's own page lists the top speed as both 20 mph and up to 24.9 mph; at 24.9 it is over New York's 20 mph e-scooter line and New Jersey's 19 mph line, so cap it in the app where those apply. It weighs 54.7 lb (the listing says 52), the handlebar does not fold, and a full charge takes about 8 hours. The Amazon listing also calls its tires solid and the scooter "Off Road"; NAVEE's spec table and manual say tubeless air tires, and its manual limits riding to cement or asphalt. The listing states UL 2272; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory, and NAVEE's own ST3 pages make no UL 2272 claim. No CPSC recall found for NAVEE or its maker Spacewalker as of October 25, 2026.

Who it suits: riders up to 265 lb on rough city pavement who roll the scooter in rather than carry it, and will cap its speed. Skip if you need proof of UL 2272 for a New York City building, or you carry it up stairs. The same listing family sells the GT3 and ST3 Pro, so check the model name before you buy. Read the NAVEE ST3 review.

The Hiboy S2 Pro is the budget way into long range, and the lightest pick at 39.7 lb by Hiboy's manual. Hiboy rates it at 500 W (600 W peak) with a 36 V, 11.6 Ah battery (417.6 Wh) and claims 25 miles at a steady 11.4 mph with a 165 lb rider on flat ground at 77°F; we estimate about 15 to 19 miles at full speed, the least of the seven picks. It rides on 10-inch honeycomb tires that cannot go flat, with two rear spring shocks, a rear disc brake plus an electronic regenerative brake, and a 19 mph top speed. Hiboy publishes the paperwork: UL LLC certificates for UL 2272 (the scooter's electrical system) and UL 2271 (the battery pack), linked from its product page; we could not check them in UL's directory, which needs a login. It was #32 in Amazon's Electric Scooters on October 30, 2026.

Hiboy's own documents disagree on its weight (37.4 lb on the product page, 39.7 lb in the manual, 35.9 lb on Amazon) and its charge time (4 to 6 hours on the page, 6 to 7 in the manual, 8 on Amazon). The limits are the trade for the price: a 220 lb rider limit, IPX4 (splash resistance only), solid tires that ride firmer than air-filled ones, and a one-year warranty. No CPSC recall found for the Hiboy S2 Pro as of October 2026.

Who it suits: riders under 220 lb with a round trip of up to about 15 miles who never want to fix a flat. Skip if you weigh more than 220 lb or ride in regular rain. The Hiboy KS4 Pro is the same scooter underneath with wider handlebars. Read the Hiboy S2 Pro review.

Ranked as above, with three of the mentions below the line. The advertised figure is the maker's headline and its test speed; the next column gives the battery and the range we would plan on.

Our estimate assumes a 175 to 180 lb rider at full speed (at 20 mph for the NAVEE ST3, and in the 21.7 and 21.5 mph modes for the KuKirin G2 and OOTD T10); the maker figures in that column use the maker's own rider, usually 165 lb, so they run a little high against ours.

Because makers measure range for a lighter rider going slower than most people ride. Makers that publish their test conditions rate range for a 150 to 165 lb rider at about 9 to 11 mph on flat pavement at 77°F: NIU tests the KQi 300X at a steady 9.3 mph, Segway the Max G2 at a 9.9 mph average and Hiboy the S2 Pro at a steady 11.4 mph, all with a 165 lb rider. We estimate range at full speed instead, by dividing the battery's watt-hours by 22 to 27 watt-hours per mile. That band is the middle half of 32 full-speed range tests that eRideHero and RiderGuide published for 26 commuter scooters, adjusted to a rider of about 175 to 180 lb on city streets with stops and small hills. In those tests, scooters covered a median 59% of their advertised range, and our estimates for the picks come to about 40 to 75% of the makers' figures. We have not ridden these scooters ourselves.

Two published figures sit at the edges of our band. Segway prints the Max G2's range at top speed as well as its headline: 25 miles at 22 mph with a 165 lb rider, the top of our 20 to 25-mile estimate. And ERideHero recorded 17.8 miles for the NIU KQi 300P at its fastest setting with a 175 lb rider, the bottom of our 18 to 22.

The box can also put scooters in the wrong order. Segway advertises 44 miles for the F3 and NIU 37.3 for the KQi 300X, yet the 300X carries about 28% more battery (608.4 Wh against 477). Divide each advertised range into its battery and the claims imply anything from about 11 watt-hours per mile (the F3) to about 17 (the Hiboy S2 Pro), so the headline says as much about the maker's test as about the scooter. Battery watt-hours are the number to compare.

Above 24 mph we give no estimate. Dual-motor and 28 mph scooters used about 30 to 35 watt-hours per mile at speed in published tests, so our band would flatter them. Segway's own ZT3 Pro figures show the same thing: 18.6 miles at 24.9 mph from 597 Wh is about 32 watt-hours per mile. For those scooters we quote the maker's own fastest figure, with its conditions.

The NIU KQi 300X, among the picks: about 12.5 Wh per pound of scooter (608.4 Wh, 48.7 lb). Then come the Segway F3 at 11.3 (477 Wh, 42.3 lb) and the Segway Max G3 at 11.0. The NIU KQi 300P (10.6), Hiboy S2 Pro (10.5) and Segway Max G2 (10.3) sit close together, and the NAVEE ST3 carries the least battery for its weight, 8.7 Wh per pound at 54.7 lb. Two mentions carry more, the OOTD T10 at about 13.9 and the KuKirin G2 at 13.1, and both go well past 20 mph. If you lift your scooter every day, the F3 is the lightest pick with an estimated 18 miles or more; if you only roll it, the 300X gives the most range for its weight.

• Ride slower. Speed costs more range than anything else you control, and the makers' own figures show it: Segway rates the F3 for 44 miles in its E mode at 9 mph and 25 in S at 20 mph, and the Max G2 for 43 miles at a 9.9 mph average and 28 at 20 mph. An eco mode on a long day out is the cheapest extra battery there is.
• Keep air tires at the maker's pressure. Segway lists 42 to 48 psi for the Max G2 and NIU 45 to 50 psi for the KQi 300P. A soft tire drags. Honeycomb tires, like the Hiboy S2 Pro's, cannot be pumped up.
• Allow for the cold. Makers rate range at 77°F, and a battery gives less in cold weather, so a winter ride needs a bigger margin than a summer one.
• Count your weight, your bag and your hills. Makers test with a 150 to 165 lb rider and our estimates assume about 175 to 180 lb. A heavier load and steep climbs both cut range below our figures.
• Charge for the ride you have. Start a long ride from a full charge. NIU's app has a setting that stops charging at 80%, which leaves less range that day. A battery also holds less charge as it ages, so an old scooter will fall short of its first-year range.

Big batteries often come with big speeds, and the speed is where the law bites. Scooters are not e-bikes, so the US e-bike classes do not apply. California caps motorized scooters at 15 mph (Vehicle Code §22411) and requires a driver's license or instruction permit and a helmet under 18 (§21235). New York defines an e-scooter as under 100 lb and no faster than 20 mph (VTL §114-e). New Jersey's legal e-scooter is stand-up, under 19 mph and 750 W or less (NJ chart). Pennsylvania does not allow e-scooters on public roads (report).

Against those lines: the NIU KQi 300X and 300P, Segway F3, and Segway Max G2 and G3 as shipped top out at 20 mph, at New York's line, and the Hiboy S2 Pro at 19 mph. None is under New Jersey's 19 mph line, and all are faster than California's 15 mph limit. The Max G2's app setting reaches about 22 mph and the Max G3's 28, both past New York's line, and NAVEE lists the ST3 at up to 24.9 mph, so it needs capping where the limit is 20 mph or lower. In August 2026 New York City sent cease-and-desist orders to 42 online retailers, Amazon among them, over stand-up scooters that can exceed 20 mph.

Look for a UL 2272 claim you can trace, and treat any claim as unverified until you check it. UL 2272 is the fire and electrical safety standard for the whole scooter; it does not test folding stems, forks or brakes. Hiboy publishes UL certificates by number for the S2 Pro; NIU and Segway state UL 2272 on their own sites, Segway naming TÜV Rheinland as the tester; the NAVEE ST3's claim appears only on its Amazon listing. We could not verify any of them in a certifier's directory; you can search UL Product iQ for a brand or the file number on the label. New York City has required UL 2272 certification for scooters sold there since September 16, 2023 (Local Law 39), California has required UL 2272 battery testing for motorized scooters sold there since January 1, 2026 (SB 1271), and the CPSC proposed a national rule in June 2026 (Federal Register). We found no CPSC recall for any scooter on this page as of October 2026. Wear a helmet: the CPSC estimates 79,300 emergency-room visits involving e-scooters in 2024, and only 18% of the injured riders it followed up were wearing one. Our electric scooter safety guide covers charging and checks.

Amazon's electric scooter chart is full of listings that promise 40, 50 or 60 miles. We leave out four kinds:

• A range with no battery size behind it, or amp-hours with no voltage. With nothing to divide, there is no way to check the claim.
• Family listings whose title range belongs to another model. Some listings put three or four ranges in one title and sell a different scooter under each color option, so the long-range figure may not be the scooter you pick.
• Fast scooters with no range we can check. Dual-motor and 28 mph-plus listings make the biggest range claims. We skip the ones with no maker range figure at speed and no slower mode we can estimate, since that leaves nothing to set the claim against, and the state lines above would hold any of them to 20 mph or less on public roads.
• Sellers with no maker website, manual or warranty address. When a listing disappears, the warranty contact and the spare tires, chargers and brake parts usually go with it, and they do disappear: of the 14 best-selling scooter listings we recorded on October 4, 2026, 5 were gone by October 18.

We are not calling any of them bad; we have no evidence either way about how they ride, and that is the problem with buying one. Before you buy any long-range scooter, check that the listing gives a battery size in watt-hours (or volts and amp-hours you can multiply), a rated motor figure as well as the peak, a rider limit, a brake description, and a range figure with its test speed.

We started from every stand-up scooter we cover with a battery over 400 Wh, eleven in all, each in stock on Amazon US on October 30, 2026, and each with a full page on this site. We ranked them on range at full speed. Where a scooter tops out at 24 mph or less in every setting we know of, that is our estimate; where it can go faster, it is the maker's own fastest published figure, quoted with its conditions. Where two scooters came out close, we ranked on the evidence we could check: battery size, brakes, suspension, water rating, rider limit, battery warranty, charge time, and whether the maker publishes its specs, its range test conditions and a UL 2272 claim. Specs come from each maker's spec sheet or manual, checked against the Amazon listing; where they disagree, the entry says so. UL 2272 status is the claim as stated, never upgraded to "certified". We searched CPSC recalls for every model in October 2026. We have not ridden these scooters, and we do not take free samples.

For the all-round list, see best electric scooters for adults, and for range matched to commute length, best electric scooters for commuting. On a budget, start with best electric scooters under $500 or under $300; if you carry your scooter, read best lightweight electric scooters; if you would rather sit, best electric scooters with a seat. How much does an electric scooter cost? explains what each price band buys. If no scooter covers your round trip, electric scooter vs e-bike sets out when an e-bike makes more sense.
