Dualtron is the brand of electrically powered all-terrain scooters produced by the Korean company Minimotors. When it was launched in 2015, Dualtron was the first electric scooter with dual motor drive. While many manufactures were trying to make their scooters, small sleek and highly portable in order to patch that last mile to the public transport station, MiniMotors have come up with a true monster machine built to go at insane speeds and conquer the roughest terrain.
Dualtron quickly overtook the competition to become the most popular electric scooter in Korea, Singapore, and all over Asia, Europe and Australia, with its ground breaking all-terrain capability, long range of 60 miles, maximum speed of 30 mph, beautiful design, sturdiness and durability, high weight limit and its selectable Single/Dual motor operation modes. DISCLAIMER: Do not ride these scooter without the proper safety gear – a certified helmet, padded jacket, motorcycle gloves.
Dualtron Electric Scooters
At the moment, Dualtron X2 is the top-performing folding electric scooter. This sturdy and powerful electric scooter is specifically designed for long distance leisure ride, trail blazing and off road adventures. With legends like Thunder and Ultra, it is not a surprise that Dualtron has fan clubs all over the world, with enthusiastic riders sharing their experiences and their own Dualtron mods.
Dualtron Spider
Features:
- Power: 1600W (Dual 800W motors)
- Battery: 60V 17.5Ah Lithium battery
- Max Speed: 37 mph
- Max Range: 40 miles
- Tires: 10″ air-filled tube tires
- Suspension: Front rubber suspension and rear adjustable suspension with 5 kinds of replaceable rubber cartridges.
- Brakes: Dual mechanical disc brakes with ABS anti-locking
- Light: Dual LED headlights, taillights and brake lights
- Weight: 44 lbs
- Max Load: 220 lbs
Scooters like Dualtron Thunder are made for adventures and adrenaline-charged rides above all, but they are just too heavy for haul around up flights of stairs, or into the elevator. Other, lighter scooters, are just not powerful and not exciting enough. Well, seems like the latest edition by MiniMotors – Dualtron Spider, brings the best of the both worlds.
The engineers have managed to cut the weight of the scooter almost in half, putting Spider just under 44 lbs. Despite what you might think, all the modifications that made this scooter more lightweight compared to the rest of the Dualtron line-up, did not affect the top-notch performance that Dualtron are known for. You will not get this level of speed, acceleration, range or stability on any other scooter weighing below 45 lbs. Dualtron Spider has the combination of weight and power that is, at this time, without competition.
Two 800W motors with combined maximum output of 3600W will get you to speeds up to 37 mph, which is almost as fast scooter as Thunder. Spider is very agile, fun to ride and incredibly torquey. You will have to take some time to set the speed/power mode that fits your riding style, and after that, there is just nothing that can stop you.
For stopping you will have to rely on front and rear mechanical disk brakes, although they are equipped with the ABS anti-locking system. Stopping power is quite good, but they will likely need a little adjustment out of the box.
The most impressive feature of this scooter is certainly the suspension. All scooters are equipped with state-of-the-art adjustable rubber suspension that is far superior to the suspensions available on other scooters. Also, the 10” air-filled tube tires provide additional cushioning, although they are narrower compared to other Dualtron models.
There are few shortcomings, but for us, they are not a deal breaker. Handlebar is made out of carbon fiber, it feels pretty solid, but the thin foam handle bar grips feel ridiculously cheap. Sure, they are easy to replace, but it’s a little detail that is unacceptable on a scooter of this level, at this price.
Dualtron Eagle Pro
Features:
- Power: 1600W (Dual 800W motors)
- Battery: 60V 17.5Ah Lithium battery
- Max Speed: 37 mph
- Max Range: 40 miles
- Tires: 10″ air-filled tube tires
- Suspension: Front rubber suspension and rear adjustable suspension with 5 kinds of replaceable rubber cartridges.
- Brakes: Dual mechanical disc brakes with ABS anti-locking
- Light: Dual LED headlights, taillights and brake lights
- Weight: 44 lbs
- Max Load: 220 lbs
Smaller than Ultra and Thunder, but bigger than Spider and Raptor, Dualtron Eagle Pro drops right in the middle of the Dualtron lineup. With dual motors of 1650W max output each, this is a fast and robust commuter scooter that can take on all challenges of moving through city traffic, whether is for running errands, doing delivery, or getting groceries.
The top speed that this scooter can reach is just above 40 mph, but if you use it as a powerful city commuter, you will probably rarely go past 25 – 30mph. Eagle Pro has bigger battery than the Spider, so naturally it has longer range. The advertised range is 50 miles, but only if you ride it very conservatively. The real life range is anywhere between 30 – 40 miles, depending on many factors.
Dualtron Eagle Pro is equipped with all the Minimotors “oldies but goldies”, like the EY3 display, patented rubber suspension, but there are also new generation features including the reworked motor and foldable handlebars. This model is limited production, so if you have your eyes on it, we would advise that you get your hands on it as well as soon as you can, as it will only be available while the supplies last.

- Motor: Dual 5400W BLDC Hub Motor (2x2700W)

The third generation of Dualtron Thunder is the fastest, most powerful, most capable sport electric scooter so far. Unleashing 5400W of power from two BLDC hub motors, this scooter can blast at a speed up to 49 mph. It features the same 60V and 35Ah LG Lithium battery as Ultra, only 60V and 35Ah, only safely secured inside an aluminum box. The range is same as Dualtron Ultra; according to specs you can reach 74 miles, but in a real life ride scenario, more like 45 miles.
Dualtron Thunder offers the levels of road safety and stability that is just unheard of in today’s production electric scooters, featuring hydraulic brakes and ABS. Dual piston caliper system provides an excellent control & stability, absorbs more heat and noise, and because of better distribution it wears better.
The suspension on Dualtron Thunder is a true innovation. The 45 steps control suspension system consists of 3 steps motor axis distance control, 3 steps arm angle control, and 5 types of the rubber. That means that there are 45 options (3 x 3 x 5) of the adjustment of the suspension strength. That means that you can get the best riding comfort on all kinds of terrain, in all seasons, rain or shine.Speaking of rain, Dualtron Thunder has an improved water protection compared to the Ultra. Cables are fully shielded against any exterior hazards with the additional pieces of rubber that seal the cable entrances to the main body, and also every bolt in the scooter comes with thread sealant. Small details that mean a lot for the longevity of the scooter.
The Thunder comes with a variety of accessories, such as a remote control that allows you to choose the color of the LED lighting on the bar, as well as the brightness and mode. Another reason Thunder is a premium scooter is that Dualtron series does not use the off-brand or generic parts sold in the existing market. MiniMotors uses 100% self-produced parts.

Besides the Thunder, the Ultra is an undeniable fan-favorite among this scooters. It is the OG of powerful off-road electric scooters and the latest model is better than ever. It is an unbreakable monster truck that can take on any kind of ride an keep going for thousands of miles.
The fourth generation of Ultra, the Dualtron Ultra 2, comes with an insane amount of power, unleashed by the two motors – 6640W maximum. This is backed up by the new 72V 2520Wh batteries, reaching the top speed of 62mph and maximum range of 60+ miles.
This model has Nutt hydraulic disc brakes, which is a much needed upgrade on a heavy scooter that can go really fast. Another excellent improvement is the external 40amp controller moved to the back, integrated into the footrest. This makes the electronics better protected and keeps it from overheating, so you have maximum power at your disposal whenever you need it.
All the well-known and loved features are still there: 11” knobby tires, classic Dualtron frame, and with the upgrades Ultra is basically the new Thunder with off-road tires.

Two 1500W motors, with combined peak power of 6640W, make it the most powerful scooter in the Dualtron range. The biggest innovation that Dualtrom Storm brings is the brand new motor design, with a cable that connects via pins.
The redesigned controller is now placed in the back, integrated in the foot rest, for more efficient heat control and better protection. This setup provides fantastic torque and top speed of over 50 mph.
Dualtron Storm features a 72V 31.5Ah battery, which is removable. The battery pack itself weighs about 27.5 pounds so you can bring it into the house, office or anywhere indoors to charge. This is one of the biggest batteries on an electric scooters, obviously accounting for one of the longest electric scooter ranges of 68 to 80 miles.
The Storm comes with full hydraulic Nutt brakes with 160mm discs in the front and back. These are the best stock set of brakes that comes with any electric scooter.
There are some changes in the stem as well. First, there is a built-in shock absorber in the stem, easing the impact on your hands. Also, the folding mechanism is enforced by double clamps, making it sturdier and safer at high speeds. No more shaking and wobbling. As you would expect, there is the signature Minimotors EY3 dashboard, but there is also a new additional control panel that controls the headlights, the horn, the motor mode, as well as the signal lights.
The charging ports are on the top of the deck, which is an area that is generally less likely to get in touch with water or dirt from the road. Kickstand has also been improved, it is robust, strong, with adjustable height.
You won’t be able to miss the Dualtron Storm even in the dark. It’s got LEDs everywhere – in the stem, all around the deck, and even in the swing arms, there are headlights, tail lights and brake lights as well, that double as turn signals. And there are some light on the bottom, projecting Dualtron logo on the ground.
Dualtron Storm is not cheap, but it is top of the line electric scooter, with a handful of scooters that can compete.
Dualtron X2: The Ultimate Electric Scooter
Features:
- Max speed 68 mph
- Motor power 8300 W
- 13” ultra-wide tire
- Motorcycle-grade Hydraulic suspension
- Steering stabilizer
- Battery: 72V 42Ah
- FingerPrint locking system.
- Lights all over its body – completely customizable
There are high performance scooters, there are extreme performance scooters, and then there is Dualtron X2. This scooter was made with the idea of creating the most powerful, fastest, most advanced electric scooter in the world.
Dualtron X2 is an absolute beast, with 8300W dual motors, 72V 42Ah battery, motorcycle-grade hydraulic suspension and weight of 145 lbs. For its looks and its performance it is closer to a motorbike than to a scooter.
The thought of an electric scooter that can go 68 mph is mind-blowing, but it is the actual riding experience that is the most impressive. The suspension, the stability, the responsiveness of the controls, it is really unlike anything else in the electric transportation sector. Ride is smooth, regardless of the terrain and rider’s weight. Hydraulic brakes with ABS standard and 160mm discs will stop you without skidding.
This scooter features not just one, but two battery packs: 72V, 3,024Wh – LG 3500 cells main pack, and a 12V, 192Wh stem battery for lighting and accessories. 13’’ ultra-wide tubeless tires are 5” wide, which are actual motorcycle size wheels.
There is nothing small on Dualtron X2 including super-sized deck, large profile frame and visible thick cables. While it its foldable, it is in no way portable, and you should look at it like you would on others means of transport. The seat kit is optional, but it is worth considering, as ride can become overwhelming at times.
Dualtron X2 is one of the most expensive electric scooters, but considering that its price is in the range of 400cc scooters, while offering similar performance, and much lower cost of maintenance, it is a good deal.
To sum it up in one word: a BEAST! Hope you are as excited about Dualtron scooters as we are.
