Packing a sizable battery that can keep you going for at least 50 miles, the ideal frame should be strong enough to bear your weight, but light enough to haul up and down a flight of stairs; This is easily achievable. Add in mandatory safety specs like UL Certification, IP Waterproofing, street-legal speed limits, and compliant motor outputs, and the list of solid options gets sparse very quickly.
We dug through the current market to compile a list of the lightest UL-Certified, street-legal electric scooters in the US that can travel 50 miles or more on a full charge.
Segway Ninebot Max G3
Priced at $1499, the Segway Ninebot Max G3 is the company’s flagship offering in the US kick-scooter market. It weighs a mere 24.3 kg & Segway believes it can travel up to 50 miles on a full charge.
The 850W motor can take you to the maximum legal speed limit of 28 mph effortlessly. It pairs smart tech (including Apple Find My integration) with high energy efficiency to reach 50 miles in eco mode without forcing riders to carry a 70+-pound monster.
The Ecoleap L7
The lightweight, affordable Ecoleap L7 is UL-certified and is priced at $698. At that price, you get a 29 kg scooter with dual suspension, smart app controls, and a dual-motor set-up that delivers 1500W of power.

The Apollo Go
This Apollo Go e-scooter costs $849. For that price, you get a dual 350W motor set-up that bumps the net peak wattage to 1500W. This e-scooter can hit the 28 mph speed limit relatively easily and effortlessly conquer uphill rides with a 25% gradient.
Also fully UL-certified, the main draw of this e-scooter is its Regenerative Braking System (RBS), which converts braking energy into charge to keep you going that much longer. However, the baseline range is 37 miles, which is excellent for its ultra-light 21 kg frame.

Navee XT5 Pro
The Navee XT5 Pro can run for 47 miles on a full charge. It does so with a UL-certified 2200 peak-wattage motor. With 12-inch tubeless off-road tires, you can conquer any terrain you’d like to with this scooter.
