Electric scooters are the perfect way to get to and from school or work with ease, but can a scooter really get you that far on a single charge? If you own or want to own an electric scooter one of the biggest factors that should influence your purchase is the range you need your scooter to have. Electric scooters come in all shapes and sizes with different ranges, speeds, and durability levels. In this blog we’ll explore our rankings for electric scooters with the best range, outlining the benefits and uses of each.
When purchasing an electric scooter you must consider what you intend to use it for. If you want an electric scooter for the occasional joy ride or trip to the grocery store then range might be less influential in your purchase. However, if you plan to use your electric scooter to commute to work or school, or even use it for food delivery, then having a good range is imperative. Below we’ve ranked some of the best electric scooters in Canada based on their range, each scooter has its unique benefits, which we’ve also explored down below!
(From highest to lowest range)
The Inmotion S1F is our highest rated electric scooter, known for its outstanding performance and reliability. With an impressive range of 95 km, this scooter allows you to effortlessly travel from one city to another without any concerns about recharging. Although it may have a slightly higher price compared to other models, the extra investment is worth it considering the exceptional features and benefits it provides. From its sleek design to its advanced technology, the Inmotion S1F is truly a premium electric scooter that offers an unmatched riding experience.
The Ninebot Max G2 is one of Segway’s newer model scooters, and it has all the bells and whistles an electric scooter rider will enjoy. One of its standout features is the Apple "Find My" App Connectivity, which makes it super easy to locate your scooter using your Apple devices. What's more, the Max G2 comes with adjustable suspension, ensuring a comfortable and smooth ride every time. But here's the best part - the Max G2 boasts an impressive range capability. With just one charge, you can travel up to 70 km! This makes it the perfect choice for daily commuters who need a scooter with a long-lasting battery life.

The Ninebot Max G30P is technically a commuter scooter, but with its long range, we’ve decided to bump it up a class. The Max G30P has an impressive 65 km range which is likely more than enough for the average commute or food delivery drivers. While this scooter does have an impressive range, it’s an older model so it doesn’t quite have all the latest features like the Max G2, but it is still a reliable and worthwhile scooter to purchase.

The Kugoo G2 Pro is an off-road scooter that we’ve deemed the “Off-Road King”, with a tested 42KM/HR top speed and a 50 km range, this scooter can get you from point A to point B in no time. While this scooter is at the top of its class, it might not be practical for commuters given its bigger size and weight, making it harder to navigate through urban landscapes. While this scooter is powerful, its features might be wasted on city commuting, if you’re looking for an off-road adventure then this scooter was built for you, but if you’re looking for a reliable commuter, then you might want to take a look at our other scooters.

The Ninebot F40 Electric Kick Scooter is a top-of-the-line commuter scooter, offering a 40 km range, average speed, and a dependable build. The F40 offers a smooth ride with easy handling and superior breaking, making it a great choice for shorter commutes. This scooter is all around great, but if you have a longer commute you might want to consider a different model, as this scooter is better for shorter trips (10-20 km one way). Check out our full review of this scooter here.
The Blutron One S is another fantastic commuter scooter option, with a 40 km top range this scooter is great for short commutes or city riding. The Blutron also goes a little faster than the F40 and offers better acceleration so you’ll have more fun riding it. Again, while this scooter is great for short trips, and its sleek design makes it great for city riding, if you have longer commutes you’d likely have to charge this scooter at work or school before heading back home.

There are plenty of scooters on the market with a 25+ mile range. If the battery is large enough, we would say roughly 1000Wh or more, it can take you quite some distance. Obviously you need to take weight and speed into consideration. Defensive riding at low to medium speed will get you significantly more miles than aggressive riding. Some scooters we offer have a range of 60 miles or more.
