Dual motor electric scooter – traction in both front and rear wheel
A dual motor electric scooter has a motor in each wheel, so it drives through both the front and the rear wheel. That means more power on hills, better grip on gravel and quicker acceleration than a comparable single-motor model. Here you'll find models from Kaabo, Teverun, Dualtron, Wheely, BOYUEDA, KuKirin and more – from commuter scooters of just over 20 kg to heavy performance machines. Every electric scooter comes with free delivery, a 2-year warranty and 14-day returns.
In short
- The range: dual motor scooters from Kaabo, Teverun, Dualtron, Wheely, BOYUEDA, KuKirin and more – 40–220 km of claimed range and 21–83 kg.
- Power: from Dual-Motor 500W (250W x2) to Dual-Motor 11500W (5750W x2) according to the manufacturers.
- A dual motor electric scooter suits hills, gravel and heavier riders – but it weighs more, uses more energy and needs good brakes and suspension.
- Rules: practically every model here exceeds the limits for public roads in the EU and is intended for private or enclosed land.
- Wheelyshop: free delivery on electric scooters, a 2-year warranty and 14-day returns.
How to choose a dual motor electric scooter in 2026
Dual motor is about traction rather than just top speed. Start with where and how you will ride, then compare power, weight, range, brakes and suspension.
What is a dual motor electric scooter?
A dual motor electric scooter has a hub motor in both the front and the rear wheel. Both wheels drive, which spreads the power and reduces the risk of one wheel spinning on climbs, gravel or wet surfaces. Four models – the OOTD T10 Pro, BOYUEDA S3-11, iScooter W12 and HIKERBOY Curtis Dual Pro – can also switch between one and two motors according to the product data, so you can adapt the power and save energy when you don't need it all.
How to read the motor power
Power is stated as total power and power per motor, for example Dual-Motor 2400W (1200W x2). Where two values follow each other, such as Dual-Motor 1600W (800W x2) / 2400W (1200W x2), the first is normally the rated power and the second the peak power. In this collection the span runs from Dual-Motor 500W (250W x2) / 1000W (500W x2) on the HIKERBOY Curtis Dual Pro to Dual-Motor 11500W (5750W x2) on the Dualtron New Storm LTD. Stated climbing ability ranges from 14 to 50 degrees – the manufacturer's figure, which depends on rider weight and surface.
Hills, terrain and heavier riders
Dual motors help most on steep hills, gravel and forest tracks and for heavier riders or riders carrying luggage. Recommended maximum load varies from 100 to 300 kg, so check it for your model. Almost half of the models have off-road tyres, and all but one have front and rear suspension. If you mostly ride off-road, also compare our off-road electric scooters.
Trade-offs of a dual motor electric scooter: weight, range and brakes
Two motors and the larger battery they need add weight. The models in this collection weigh 21–83 kg, with a median of just under 39 kg, so they are harder to carry or lift into a car. If you often ride with both motors at high speed, range drops faster than the claimed 40–220 km. More power also demands more from the brakes: most models have two hydraulic disc brakes, often combined with E-ABS. If range matters most, see our long range electric scooters.
Who is a dual motor electric scooter for?
- Riders on hilly routes or gravel who want grip on climbs
- Heavier riders who want power in reserve even at full load
- Riders moving up from a single-motor model who want more acceleration and control – see also the most powerful models among our extreme electric scooters

Electric scooter rules in the EU
In most EU countries e-scooters on public roads are limited to 20–25 km/h and a power limit, often with a minimum age and insurance. Practically every model in this collection exceeds those limits and is intended for private or enclosed land. Always check your national rules – read more at Your Europe.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a single and a dual motor electric scooter?
A dual motor electric scooter has a motor in both the front and the rear wheel instead of just one. That gives more traction on hills and loose surfaces and quicker acceleration, but the scooter is heavier and uses more energy.
Can you ride a dual motor electric scooter on one motor?
On some models. According to the product data, the OOTD T10 Pro, BOYUEDA S3-11, iScooter W12 and HIKERBOY Curtis Dual Pro can switch between one and two motors. On the other models you control the power with riding modes.
How heavy is a dual motor electric scooter?
In this collection the models weigh 21–83 kg, with a median of just under 39 kg. The lightest is the HIKERBOY Curtis Dual Pro (21 kg), the heaviest the Dualtron X Limited (82.9 kg).
How far does a dual motor electric scooter go?
The manufacturers claim 40–220 km. Real-world range is shorter if you often ride with both motors, at high speed, in the cold or with a heavy load.
Can I ride a dual motor electric scooter on public roads?
In most EU countries, no. E-scooters on public roads are usually limited to 20–25 km/h and a power limit, and practically every model in this collection exceeds them, so they are intended for private or enclosed land. Check your national rules.
